Starting point is 00:00:00 Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to episode 212. Palindrome. Welcome to episode palindrome. I'm Pip. I'm Pop. And I'm Poi. And welcome to this episode.
Starting point is 00:00:26 It's going to be one of those logical... Straightforward episodes, then. It's going to be one... You could almost say it's a spiritual successor to the number one. No! Don't say it. Why'd you say that? Sorry. Why the fuck did you say that?
Starting point is 00:00:39 I'm sorry. Do you know what we have to live up to now? Before we get into our usual debates and general tomfoolery, uh... I just want to shout out the patrons over at Patreon. In fact, I want to shout them out so hard... The... Stop looking at me
Starting point is 00:01:06 What, I'm waiting for the handle They've blown our minds They've been proper dibbies The jarlings have outdone themselves this time They've really done it They've pip-pop poised us into the Into the next realm You could even say they pip
Starting point is 00:01:22 You could even say they what They pip Pop-poi D. Better. No, we need better. The premium voe. We need better, you know, synchronization.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Yeah, I mean, I shouldn't have to gesture. We agreed. I thought you'll make a joke on premium void. Try one more time. They even pip. Pop, poe. Dess. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:45 It's getting better. Yeah, for real. What were you saying? What was the point of any of that? Premium voie. They've, they've, the patrons over at Patreon have blown us out of,
Starting point is 00:01:59 the water we mentioned the the dibby tier last episode yeah it's kind of a newish creation for our patreon we thought we'd add the tiers and the dibby tier um it's not even specified on the patreon that if you're a dibby then you get a shout out but last episode i decided to note them all down and shout them out which of course has encouraged new dibs to enter the fray which has now left us in a situation where we have uh 27 dibs we need to shout out and we're stuck in the situation where we've got to read all the names out but if the list gets longer and longer it's going to be more and more time we can't start every episode with just a fucking five-minute list of people because the inevitability is that we're going to have
Starting point is 00:02:41 600 700,000 I mean the dibby positabilities are endless yeah so although we are going to shout out the current dibbies as of recording this episode at the beginning yeah we're about to do But this is a special occasion. Yeah, in the future, we're going to have to delay the, the, the, the, the dibby props until halfway through when we do the usual. Yeah, we figure the new format would be, first half break to dibbies or shirt ad. Well, both. Yeah, both. Then, then back in.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Yeah, but honestly, appreciation off the charts. Appreciation. We love the dibbies. They are our favorite, um. Dibbies. Yeah. Our favorite dibby. So should I do it? Shall I go through the list? Yes, we'll do it, man.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Special patrons. Okay, huge props to fiddle, dream awful 2142, Michael G2, Mayo, Mayo, Tyron, Noachuku, sorry, Ethan Haidt, Zach Dows, Justin Valleys, Jack White fan, Adam Lismore, Esteban Montes,

Thank you for sticking with us there. Here, here, shout out to the boys, the girls of the dibbies.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And, as you can see, if you are watching the video episode of this cast, I am, wearing one of our shirts and I've worn this shirt constantly over quarantine and it's still in pretty down good condition. How comfy is it out of town? It's a comfy shirt I wear. You've seen me wear it constantly actually.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Like when we go, like I have to draw something off. I see wear the um, the Argy shirt more often. I don't think. Yeah, that is a good one. And I prefer this over the Argy one. It's just, it's a nice fit and it just even after a lot of washes where clothes normally get quite, you know, brittle and their little fraily parts.
Starting point is 00:05:00 This is solid. It's still solid because my quarantine outfit has been Argy shirt, Josh, the Jay shirt, then just a grey shirt in rotation. So I've worn it like a hundred or times over the last like few months. Still, like, feels fucking great. You've worn it a hundred times, damn. I've won it a bloody lot. Before we get caught up, tossing ourselves up too much,
Starting point is 00:05:21 tossing ourselves off too much, sorry. Whoa. James, how big are your balls in diameter? Diameter 3, 4 centimeters I actually have something I want to start us off with Please do
Starting point is 00:05:41 From the jar document I feel like my voice is muffled through this mask It's not muffled I tested it and it sounded perfect Further proof that wearing a mask does not infringe upon your breathing capabilities this has been proven scientifically proven
Starting point is 00:05:59 it does make your face quite warm there yeah but you get a beard yeah no my my problem is actually the exma I suffer from on my face because I worked in jobs where I had to wear low quality masks I suffered from pretty bad rashes anyway we're not trying to get political on here
Starting point is 00:06:18 yeah I wanted to talk a little bit just do a bit housekeeping general housekeeping, based on last episode. So last episode, I decided to add time codes to the YouTube version, and I think it's in the description of the audio version two, which I figured I'm already going through the whole episode when I'm editing it, might as well add that, because YouTube has that feature now where it kind of segments the video based on the time codes.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Yeah. And it's just something so satisfying to me about that. When you go on the YouTube video, you can just see every segment. So, like, if there is someone who doesn't give a shit about Kanye or Destiny 2 or anything like that, they can just go through and skip it. It's kind of a quality of life improvement. Yeah, just like watching normal videos, it's just like, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Just being able to just yeat certain things off. Yeah, and the the jarlings have been I don't know, they seem kind of split on the on the lighting the side that we're talking about here. With our new camera, our new setup
Starting point is 00:07:15 and everything, we're still trying to figure things out. We're actually recording this episode at a different frame rate so let us know if this is an improvement. um or not um we're trying to figure this out as we go along but someone said although the lighting is a lot better than the last episode i much prefer the really bright lighting from the old setup but then someone else said lighting is good some harsh shadows behind the sofa but other than that top quality and then someone else said i kind of like the darker more purple lighting it's more relaxing in tone with the
Starting point is 00:07:45 mostly calming vocals and jazz ambience plus it helps if watching in dark but then someone else said, I personally prefer the lighting in the last episode. The dark lighting made it feel more chill and relaxed. It makes it feel less corpority-ish. So a whole range of reactions there.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Can I just quickly say as early as possible, my brilliant idea is to have the main lights off and just have the LEDs. So if you agree with me on having just the LEDs, please... What LED's? What colour would the LEDs be? Any.
Starting point is 00:08:21 ideally blue we should add the last episode we set up a bunch of LEDs behind and in front of the table and they're fully adjustable so we can't need to know with the feedback on that as well
Starting point is 00:08:34 we like it because it has a lot more light to lower down and it is more sure how about this then how about for the next episode we just use the LEDs see how ridiculously dark that is and then I just think it's wacky and quirky dude but then in the comments of that episode
Starting point is 00:08:48 people can say which are the three variations they like the most of them. Yeah, but if they don't like it, then I'm going to be really like emotionally. That's fine. That's just what making YouTube content's all about. I would be destroyed by a community over and ever again. I would like to also add that our old setup was in a much tight air and we actually had an extra light because that light actually broke. I don't want to get too crazy with it because like this isn't permanent. This is for now. We've got we have plans. You know, trying to put the set on the on the roof is it's quite hard. So we're
Starting point is 00:09:21 We're getting there. Yeah, only one broken arm and one broken leg so far. Yeah, it's just fucking, it's taking this time. But we'll get there. Yeah, we will. Yeah, I've, I'm just going to go into it because this is huge. I've been so excited to talk about this because I'm actually really nervous. My heart is pounding.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I think I found the new Sandy picture. bullshit. I think I found a new equivalent image that's going to take it over for a bit. Is that it? No, I... I... I'm not joking, dude.
Starting point is 00:10:04 No, the thing about the sandy picture is that it didn't have this... Like, it had nothing to live up to. Yeah, but that's why I thought the sandy picture would just be the sandy picture, and that was it. But things have changed. Because I stumbled across an image that has the same energy
Starting point is 00:10:24 that it made me stop and like really think about this is like it struck me this is the new image it's like this is like the empire strikes back of um if sandy is a new hope this is the empire strikes back of
Starting point is 00:10:40 of images okay I'm listening and don't know if you guys are ready what franchise do you think it's wrong Madagascar Mm-mm Oh wait Are you saying this is a new
Starting point is 00:10:55 I thought saying this is a new pick of sandy Sorry yeah I phrased it weirdly It's not literally It's the new sandy It's like an equivalent Of that sandy picture Family guy No
Starting point is 00:11:08 Oh thank that's a good thing I'm not even gonna try I've got it here on my iPad And I'm not sure who to share it to first Me. Well, should I just show it to you both at the same time? Show it to James and then see if I can guess what it's from.
Starting point is 00:11:24 James? Yes. What do you think? Oh, that was unexpected. James' reaction is kind of... It's giving me butterflies and being honest. This is so obvious. It's so obvious.
Starting point is 00:11:48 are you ready joe yeah is that Scooby D yes no it's Ruby Doo Ruby doo everybody Ruby D Ruby Doo I even thought with the kind of blue colors there
Starting point is 00:12:10 it has a really it has that energy it just looks out of place the Sandy one did look out of place in its own scene it doesn't look like a dog it looks like a snake coming out of it
Starting point is 00:12:23 yeah is that a pillow yes I figure it's in bed and someone's hand is going over to Ruby do there it's cool yeah would that look good on a shirt though
Starting point is 00:12:35 yeah yeah it's already in the post um to give you some context that sandy image has been around for years now and I honestly never thought it was going to be replaced I don't think you could say this is a replacement
Starting point is 00:12:54 it's not a replacement in your description was perfect yeah see the empire strikes back of because a lot of people are going to prefer sandy yeah but ruby do is a justified choice for your favorite which means the next one is going to be not all that it's such a like gut feeling when you know you found a new one It's taken me years And I just happened to be going through the Scooby-D Wiki
Starting point is 00:13:21 I feel like I guess back when you had way more time Being someone that was like Just that at school Actually I don't know how I found that sandy image And what the story behind that was But like I feel like there were just a lot of images Like Golden Freddy for example
Starting point is 00:13:36 Oh the Golden Freddy There were lots of Rapid Fire images That were all just as good as the previous one Whereas, it feels like ever since Sandy, the standards were sort of set. Too high. Not too high. I would say too high.
Starting point is 00:13:56 You always want to raise the bar, though. And the bar was being raised by a notch every time, and then suddenly it took a leap. That's why I've been brewing over this for weeks. I'm... How long have you... I've had this image for a while now. Are you serious? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:12 But I had to hold back and not share it anywhere. For those eagle-eyed viewers who found my secret Twitter, they'll know I found it there, and there's a tweet from there. You've got a secret Twitter? Yeah. Do I not know it? I don't think so. Is it the secret Twitter most people have?
Starting point is 00:14:29 You know, that type of secret Twitter. No, no. I'll show you it after. What's James all leading to you? I think he means like a porn Twitter. James confirmed hasn't only found? I do. I haven't known any fans.
Starting point is 00:14:47 For your veruca. Yeah, my varucca base. No, I'm going to say the Golden Freddy pick is still my favourite. It's not in the same league. It's not, but it's the best. I think Golden Freddy suits James. But it's not the sandy image.
Starting point is 00:15:06 It's not the same. It's because it's never been given the chance to be the same, Alex. Damn. This hat is pissing me off so much. I keep smacking the mic with the fuck. I'm putting it backwards. I don't give five shits.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I give six shits. I give six shits. We put out the threads on Twitter to see what people want us to talk about this week. And I figured if we're going to jump between Twitter and Reddit, we might as well make the Twitter kind of a... A known segment. A quick fire round, you know? Like, let's not linger on this.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Let's just fucking get through it. answer the questions move on this is the first half we talk about whatever we want yeah we took what you know what i'm going to talk about call of duty well no not yet not right as i establish a new topic wait before we get into this is this going to be like a weekly thing
Starting point is 00:16:01 i don't know let's see what people think okay we did it last week we it might as well see what people are asking i've only got a couple here to go through can i just say like while you've got this mask on from when it's over your nose it's like I'm looking into a mirror it's really bizarre
Starting point is 00:16:19 what with the hat no not with the hat like you're this the the eye region of your face is so similar to mine it's creeping out it's not have you not have you not I've got a picture on my phone
Starting point is 00:16:32 of like a Snapchat where I've done that thing where it takes your face and puts it on mine it looks really weird really yeah it looks fucking really weird Yeah Because Don't look the same
Starting point is 00:16:44 No we don't When you overlay the faces Though The similarities are clear No but I think There are common traits Between me and Alex Or should I say
Starting point is 00:16:53 Alex and I It's not in your eye region Yes it is I'd say I say it's more in your noses Actually I can't see his nose It's not in the nose
Starting point is 00:17:04 It's not in the nose region At the moment See but the nose thing Doesn't work Because I've got The Deviated Septum You've got You just throws it off
Starting point is 00:17:11 throws off my breathing too your ears aren't the same anyway twitter time pluffy fx says let's say a zoo closes near you except because they've lost so much money all the animals luckily find homes except one baby monkey it's up to the jar cast to look after him
Starting point is 00:17:29 but which member of the gang would be the right choice for his full-time monkey carer Alex yeah I agree because the monkey like if we had a monkey it would be on the cast yes 100% Get a new mic, put it in the middle there.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Yeah. Sit in between us. Okay, closed. No, no, actually, what would be perfect is for this monkey to be sat at the desk being our little research monkey. Yeah, yeah. Oh, if only we had the gift that we wanted. Yeah. At Trey Flodurable says, what are your opinions on feathered dinosaurs?
Starting point is 00:18:07 Nowadays, there's plenty of evidence of non-avian dinosaurs with feathers. yet species that are known to have had feathers are still portrayed as giant-scaled reptiles in media. This bothers me a lot. I don't know about dinosaurs, so I can't comment. What are you laughing at? This bothers me a lot. Yeah, because most people think they are something
Starting point is 00:18:30 that they probably weren't. Honestly, it doesn't really matter. It does matter. Why? You've got to take it. Or with a grain of salt. What matters is if you are trying to be knowledgeable about dinosaurs and you believe they aren't feathered. But I think...
Starting point is 00:18:52 That's an issue. I think it would make them look cooler, though, if they depicted them the way scientists believe they were. I think it would make them scarier. Yeah, which is cooler. The whole reason I like dinosaurs is because of the fear factor. Yeah, yeah. No, I would like to see a genuine, like, horror sort of thing. with what we believe real dinosaurs to look like
Starting point is 00:19:15 there's a lot of unexplored potential with dynos man and there's Jurassic world movies ain't doing it justice I saw a thing I'm I'm sure it's like totally stupid but it was the the skull of a hippo I was going to mention that the skull of a hippomorphic thing no no but it's the skull of a hippo
Starting point is 00:19:38 looks way more aggressive than the actual animal Yeah, it looks like scary and if you were to use that skull to create like an animal around it You wouldn't get a hippo Yeah, yeah, there were those jokes about like What if all the dinosaurs are actually like really obese and fat But fat, yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:19:59 You've got that's what I'm saying There's like so much flesh that How can you account for that? You have to interpret quite a lot Yeah, using the connections to birds and whatnot It's clever stuff T-Rex's actually had really long arms because it was all flesh
Starting point is 00:20:15 It was all just fucking like Yeah, like tentacles Jelly arms that were like really long Yeah At Dusk Plains says I watched the movie being John Malkovich Recently If you could be in any celebrity's body for a day
Starting point is 00:20:29 What celebrity would it be? What would you do and why? Uh Hmm Um I'm really not that envious of many celebrities, to be honest. Yeah, I'm not. Maybe some for their, like, artistic ability.
Starting point is 00:20:46 No. Yeah, but the thing is, if your mind is going into their body, you want to go into someone and experience something you know you can never possibly experience in your own body. So, I'm going into Jeff Bezos. Okay. Fair enough. Is he an actually celebrity, though?
Starting point is 00:21:03 He's just rich. He's the richest man in the world. Bill Gates, like, when he was the richest man, he probably would have been my answer, too. I I swear For a day Just do whatever you want
Starting point is 00:21:13 For a day Con you See how stressful it is We've con you west Yeah This is the This is the quick round You got on answer
Starting point is 00:21:23 I'm leaving on No no no No no Joey Diaz I just want to see what his actual mind It is when it's so like Fucked off like 15 stars of death Okay Okay
Starting point is 00:21:33 I want to see the fucking devil Jim Um The same answer I gave to the same question a few episodes ago Joe Rogan then shout out Jarl At Mace Scun 21 is going to end this segment
Starting point is 00:21:46 with Talk about the Uncharted movie That's being made Indiana Jones Yeah I Tom Holland announced they've just started filming it I think Wait is Tom Holland's in it
Starting point is 00:21:57 He plays Nathan Drake It's gonna be shit then He's not He's not Nathan Yeah I don't think he's He's too much of a Spider-Man Do you don't think he
Starting point is 00:22:08 be young Nathan? No. No, no, no. I think he could be, but why would a whole uncharted movie be young Nathan? Yeah, Mark Wahlberg is Sally, too. What?
Starting point is 00:22:20 Mark Wahlberg's playing Sally. Mark Wahlberg is Sally. Yeah. That can work, kind of. No. Stop being a happy slapper. Mark Wahlberg? Yeah, so we're talking about
Starting point is 00:22:34 the director of Venom. Mark Wahlberg is Sully and Tom Holland as Nathan Drake. I think it's going to be a... A train, train, a train work. Written by the writer of Men in Black International, Transformers the last night, punish your war zone and Iron Man One.
Starting point is 00:22:57 That's the train, the train's going to be dangling off a bloody cliff. Oh, and Morbius. Which isn't out yet. That's going to be a train work. Just from the data on IMDB, this actually looks. like one of the worst pieces of shit being made. This sounds so bad. I mean, Uncharted, it's never a...
Starting point is 00:23:21 It doesn't make any sense. It's a franchise designed to be a playable movie. Yeah. So when you take the playable out, it becomes a movie. And it's just going to be worse in the energy. It's just worse movie when there's no playable. It's going to be terrible. Worse movie without the voice.
Starting point is 00:23:38 factors that you're attached to from the games. Honestly, like, something with Nathan Phelion would have been better. I can't see Tom Holland being good at them. Every time I hear about this project, I roll my eyes just like, who the fuck wants this? Even Uncharted fans, like, even if they wanted a movie, surely you'd want it to be done by the right people. Yeah. You know, not the guy directed fucking Venom with Mark Wahlberg in it. Like, this actually sounds like pure trash.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah. Like, like, riding video game hype too late. Mark Wahlberg. as Sully. I would, he's a better fit for Sully than Tom Holland is for Nathan. No, you need someone with like that voice for Sully. Someone with a voice where you're immediately like, yeah, he's cool. Yeah, and the only guy that can do that is the guy who voiced him.
Starting point is 00:24:26 No, there's a bunch of like voice. Like, but they don't hire actors based on their voice. They hire them based on if they look like Tom Holland or Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. I just think it's an awful idea. I think it's a fucking awful idea, and it's going to look like Jumanji when we see the trailer. Yeah, it's going to be as good as Jumanji. Yeah, they'll film, they won't go to any locations, they'll film it all on a green screen,
Starting point is 00:24:50 and it's just going to look like fucking trash. Sorry. That's it, done. That's it, that's it, done. Done. That's fucking it. You know what, that's it. Done.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Pit Pop, Paul, and the Guardian toy. Pip. Pop, boy. Come on, James, you've got a few quicker than that. I'm sorry, I'm letting you down For the rest of the cast Make sure you keep putting that out there Try and you'll test him
Starting point is 00:25:14 Well Well rest of us No gets the elephant in the room Call of Duty Oh James actually Bringing that up There was actually a comment I wanted to
Starting point is 00:25:26 To mention about Call of Duty From last episode that I saw From 9 Ark Who left a comment saying The only good maps Are from the old games that were added later on. This is them complaining about the new cod, saying it's shit.
Starting point is 00:25:42 The weapon balance has been pretty poor. Cammo challenges have been ruined with mounted and long-shot kills, which are no fun to get. Time to kill is way too low. Personally, I think so at least. The mounted mechanic empowers people to camp, which sucks on maps that are already too large. All that aside, though, I think there really has been an improvement to controls.
Starting point is 00:25:59 However, I don't think it is good enough reason to like the game considering all the things I hate about it. Also, no prestige mode. And they ruin the way you get calling cards. Okay. Okay, nope, nope, these are fair quick... I disagree. I disagree about everything. Okay, maps.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I don't disagree with everything. I disagree with their overall thing. Okay, maps, maps. They've got a problem where they've got loads of maps that are too big for the game modes they're being played on. Like, Gresner Wades should be a ground wall map, because it's way too big for like 636. Yeah, they've got a bunch of maps that are like too small for 10 v10. which you always end up playing 10 v10 on and too big for 6-3-6
Starting point is 00:26:42 or even 10v10 But then you've got like there's The chute house is probably one of the best maps in the game It's really perfectly balanced When you consider like a really tight map 5355 It's just the three-lane map Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:53 But then the maps they've brought back From the older cods are terrible Because they don't work in this cod Because it's too fast-paced Whilst it's terrible Um Yeah Shipman vacant
Starting point is 00:27:06 It's terrible then they've brought back something back a lot which doesn't work on this what's the one um the one of the planes and stuff from monomorfare two
Starting point is 00:27:22 later season they brought that back no it's got scrapyard or something scrapyard that works in this game quite well I from what I've played of it it was bad they haven't got the best maps on the base game but some of them are really good
Starting point is 00:27:40 like the ground wall maps all all work but they shouldn't be bringing back old maps because they don't work because they don't match the pacing of this card now hmm so the things I disagree with the most though are like the weapon camos
Starting point is 00:27:56 thing I think that's quite good the point is is that you're meant to be forced to do certain things but you don't have to that's a thing well yeah like when it gets to that point I don't care about
Starting point is 00:28:11 doing mounted kills I mean whatever If you're that hooked on the game Then that sort of Which I've done I've done them I've done platinum on a lot of guns And I've put in 16 days
Starting point is 00:28:22 Like because of that Like it goes the distance for me Because I love the game to that extent But you By just playing the game You get a lot of camos You'll get like 50 plus cameras From just playing the game
Starting point is 00:28:32 Which is more than you need The only camo thing I'd say that is really bad is using the gun with no attachments because one, the guns are almost unusable when they have no attachments and two, you don't unlock that challenge until you've already leveled the gun up enough
Starting point is 00:28:52 to have it fully loaded. And the problem with that is that's the most iconic camo in God, tiger, red tiger, blue tiger. That's one everyone wants. They just want the blue tiger, red tiger. And they've got that time to kill that's perfect it's perfect
Starting point is 00:29:11 because there is you know you've got the like the meta guns the grue where low damage but they're accurate so they've got a really good time to kill because they're laser beams but you have to shoot more
Starting point is 00:29:20 then you've got guns like the AK where their headshot multiplier is high so if you've got perfect recall you've got better time to kill and then there's guns the time to kill is pretty perfect across the board
Starting point is 00:29:32 like it's ghost I think it was Modern More Frette 3 was far too low. As soon as you got seen, you were dead. Then the Black Ops ones were not that good, I don't think, either. This is the best time to kill since Modern World War II. I would say it feels right.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah. For the game, it feels pretty as it should do. Like Battlefield has suffered with really bad TTK before, but it's really bad. It doesn't work, but this, it does work. And if you're having problems with that, it's worth looking at your own loadout. seeing how you play because maybe you're playing a certain way with guns that don't suit your play style
Starting point is 00:30:11 so you're not you're having that problem yeah I agree yeah what else was said because I'm what else was said yeah because you brought another point the maps the maps TT K
Starting point is 00:30:25 time to kill booby booby booboo boo boo boo boo bo bo weapon balance camo challenges long shot kills time to kill mounting
Starting point is 00:30:36 mechanic mountain mechanics being removed in black ops no prestige mode and calling cards see the prestige mode thing was something I was wary about before I
Starting point is 00:30:49 before I started playing the game was you know I've done like 10 prestige like multiple times in earlier cods because it it was that perfect loop it was perfect prestige mode because you could just it was a constant feed of like
Starting point is 00:31:04 progress and I was worried that with the removal of that it's not going to have as much replayability but when you've got constant season drops like every 60 days you've got new maps new guns new updates for like war zone and whatnot if you play hardcore for those 30 days and then go off
Starting point is 00:31:26 you get you're doing the 155 levels as per that season by the time you get back in you've got to do those I can have a hundred levels There's a thing as well To me where it's like How much you actually playing the game Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:43 Because if you're playing it loads And then you have all these complaints It's got to be doing something right Yeah And it It's that that classic cod thing Where you play it so much The the things that
Starting point is 00:31:56 Don't feel quite right Stand out way more But really they're not that bad But you're just playing it fucking Like for three hours every day, non-stop. So, of course, these things are going to become, like, more
Starting point is 00:32:11 and more. Like, the way I play it is that for the first 30 days, I am hardcore on it every day. And I'll get pretty much through the entire season with, like, 30 days left. I'll have, like, a two-week break. By the time I start getting into it again, I've got new season.
Starting point is 00:32:25 I've got loads of content to get. Because I'm staggering it for myself to know that I'm going to get the most enjoyment out of it. And that's how you should be approaching these seasons. Because if you play cod enough to know, notice all the issues, then you're going to get all the stuff anyway, so you can take a break. What? You can take a break? Alex, do your best Marge Simpson impression.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Homer, stop it. This is our marriage. If you want more cod, let us know, because I can talk about. quad every week. Cod Corner. Woo! Yeah, you're done to Call the Duty now? Do we have anything left for the first segment of this episode of the Jam Media podcast? The first half, aside from Pip Poppoi on the Guardian toy.
Starting point is 00:33:22 No, I don't think so. Um, I raise you one Pip Poppoi. On the premium Voie toy. We'll be back after some messages from... me for my sponsors um maybe james or maybe me with a mask on
Starting point is 00:33:41 hey bye Alex I'm gonna drop a beat for you yeah and you gotta just fucking go off you ready mm-hmm dope mm-hmm that's not a beat no that was a beat that was do
Starting point is 00:33:57 two three four two two three yeah but I need a bit more progression the vocals come in okay boop Boop Boop Boop Boop Poe Boop Boi
Starting point is 00:34:12 On the Guardian toy I knew what was coming So I was ready to laugh Pip Pop boy I'm the guardian boy Welcome to the second half Oh really? I need to pee you're fucking bit
Starting point is 00:34:36 we can wait go go go leave throw something at him I can't I ain't got anything on me to throw so let's talk about Cod quickly what are your thoughts on season 4 because we've played it quite a bit
Starting point is 00:34:51 how many days are left probably about 20 at this point you serious if not less yeah it's getting closer to season 5 I'm only like level 30 in the past are you actually I'm like 87
Starting point is 00:35:06 dude the thing is like I often get home so late and I'm like right I'll get into bed and watch funny videos yeah you don't think that's that's why it's like
Starting point is 00:35:20 if I'm gonna play cod I need to like get on it like six and then just yeah I need to check it out there's just not enough time man that's what that that that that is what pisses me off about battle passes the most yeah because you know what motherfuckers don't have time and doing this limited time shit phomo it makes it makes it makes me less likely to play your game but i'm gonna miss out because i'm fucking employed does that i'm sorry does that does that not so would you
Starting point is 00:35:55 prefer a prestige system I would prefer the ability to get everything somehow even if I missed out like the way they do it with guns where you have to do extra challenges to get it like gun but I mean shit just fucking pisses me off
Starting point is 00:36:13 man like it's it feels designed for someone that's still at school has loads of free time and to get them addicted and and to get money from their parents instead of...
Starting point is 00:36:28 The actual people... Instead of people that actually earn money. Yeah. That's what pisses me off. But they do... I'm sorry. I'm sorry! All right!
Starting point is 00:36:36 But they also have that because they'll give you tier skip. So if you actually care that much, you can put them real money and get all that content. Yeah, but fuck you. You designed it so that I couldn't finish it. So you can just pay money to skip the... Yes. Yeah, so you have to pay at least once to get a battle pass.
Starting point is 00:36:52 And then you have to complete it to get your... like points back so you can get the next one. Yeah. Fine. But then you can pay more money to skip all that stuff. You can... When the battle first comes out, you can spend £100, like £8 on it,
Starting point is 00:37:10 and you get the pass, or you can spend like fucking £30 to get 30 tier skips with it. Something obscene. No, that is a... If I don't complete this season, there's a good chance I'll give up. on the game. You're still
Starting point is 00:37:27 player passes. Well, I don't know. What battle passes have you completed? How many? Every one of Codd this so far. One or two? Being...
Starting point is 00:37:36 I've done one. I think season two and three of Monomorffet. Yes. Simply because lockdown weighing three so much. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I've done every season of Cod. Every single season I've done. The thing is, I work very unsocial hours. yeah and I only play card with friends yeah so those two things do not go hand in hand no guess what we got in store for you today lads join in your t-shirts check the description below good afternoon morning evening or night and welcome to the second half of the first section
Starting point is 00:38:18 of the second half of nothing nothing triggers me more than hearing good afternoon, evening or night. I know, that's why I did it. Why is it tricky? Because we've already said it. Wait, I'm going to do an actual thing now. Hello! This is the second bit where we go on to...
Starting point is 00:38:41 Two, where we talk about quite funny things, maybe some serious things. Well, you decide on our job media edit. I was going to get angry at you for interrupting me, but you turned that into fucking... You spun it around. You spun it around something workable. That was amazing. You could see his mind like, make it relevant, make it relevant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:06 So James already set the scene. Yeah. So the way you can make it your own future is if you hop onto the JAR Media Reddit, jar media slash Reddit jarl slash media. Yep, that's the one. So the, uh, the, the, the bit where, you can ask us things. We've got some good questions this app.
Starting point is 00:39:29 And we're going to start off with this one from Alex Scott 1811 who says, question for Alex. You said you've been playing Destiny again. What do you think of the story of the ongoing season? Does it interest you? There is like a story this time that seems to kind of widely affect the universe in some way, whereas before each season has been like nothing.
Starting point is 00:39:54 thing but at the same time like I don't really play destiny for the story at this point so I think I'm kind of past that I respect that yeah I don't give a single shit really it's all about like mechanics question for everyone January 2021 Kanye invokes jar media to his inauguration speech in Washington he wants you guys to perform one of his songs for him as a quartet what song do you choose I'm lost in the words Um, no, it should be, what's his most grotesque song? Uh, Kanye's workout plan.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Oh. Let's do that one, Kanye. Oh man. What about her drunken hot girls? We're the drunky hot girls. Yeah, either drunken hot girls or that one. Um, good morning. Norma alert.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Norma alert. Oh, okay, okay. Then, uh, N-word in Paris. Yeah, it's got Jay-Z in it, you won't stand for that. I ain't stepping on the boots of Jay-Z. Joseph Zed Khan says, where did the famous J-R theme song jingle come from? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Do you remember the moment we decided on the jar jingle? No. Don't remember, because I... Sort of. It came, I found it on Epidemic Sound, which is one of the kind of big music... places YouTubers can use
Starting point is 00:41:27 because with all the copyright stuff you need music you can actually use without having to worry about being flagged for everything so you're somewhat limited in that sense but epidemic sound are some good quality stuff but I knew the intro had to be short
Starting point is 00:41:42 just a few seconds I found that the stings category which is all just short pieces of audio short little stings to introduce or end something or something like that and we i just played a bunch of them and we all just agreed this was the one that suited the the energy of the cast the most yeah for sure can i just say though um i heard today somebody's like phone um song when they get called yeah and it it was a song from our like old videos
Starting point is 00:42:21 really yeah in what way it was it was straight up a like one of those free songs
Starting point is 00:42:31 oh from like the Kevin MacLeod ones I don't know because it was something to do with like a bumblebee or something a bumblebee yeah the name of the song
Starting point is 00:42:44 was like be how old we talking like like original job No, like R&L Oh yeah That would have been
Starting point is 00:42:56 Incompetec music then Kevin McLeod All the stuff Because it's all free to use So like When anyone starts making YouTube videos They use Kevin McLeod Yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:43:10 Like the IHE Elevated music It grabbed my brain And pulled me back Into watching like Our videos for the first time it's crazy oh yeah yeah yeah because just everyone used them yeah probably still do shout out to kevin mccloud actually for doing that creating just this bank of music and it's
Starting point is 00:43:32 just like you know what just have it just use it is that what he did yeah man just so there's just like a database of music that someone could use or that anyone can use i respect that big time yeah of course dr fish and chips says hi jar my first ever podcast of yours that i watched was recommended to me after watching your nostalgia critic video. That podcast being the infamous Shreddies episode. I was wondering if we could get an epilogue on the Shreddy's saga. Do you still have them? And if so, do you still wear them?
Starting point is 00:44:02 And if you do, is the underwear still as effective as it first was? James was sort of the keenest on it. You kept it going for a little bit, didn't you? Yeah, until my mum washed it. Well, funnily enough, I was like going through some drawers in my room. and I found them I found my pair of shreddy oh so we have a pair
Starting point is 00:44:25 I actually don't know where my pair is oh really yeah I've got a pair I've got a pair because I don't have flatulence issues I do to be honest I actually traded a good pair of underwear for these
Starting point is 00:44:38 because I left my the under the under from the day I put in the box and I just free the box on James just took his underwear off at Alex's house put on these and then just left his stinky
Starting point is 00:44:51 used underwear in a box on Alex's table in his kitchen and just left him there and Alex for weeks was like if you don't take these I'm going to put them in the bin They were a decent
Starting point is 00:45:02 You were like I'll take them Don't put them in the bin And then like No it was months Yeah they're months later I had them in my house For like three months Yeah
Starting point is 00:45:09 And it got to a point Where you were just like Okay I'm getting rid of them And you did And then James was like What the fuck? Come on man That's my underwear dude
Starting point is 00:45:19 And I haven't... I traded good underwear for some shitty stuff I haven't worn. Yeah, going back to the fact that I found some in a drawer in my room, I looked at them for a second and then saw the, like, the extra thick, like padding, nappy sort of stuff going on. And I was like, I ain't putting these on. Yeah. It's not happening.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Yeah, every time I pick them up after, like, a first show, I'm just like, pick them up because they're just black. They're mixing them. evil murders and I just I can feel the weight of the padding I'm just like no yeah unless you have like a medical reason for needing them they need to make them more realistic can you imagine like a romantic scenario where you're invited to a lovely lady's house and it it gets to the point where you're taking a trousers up yeah and you're wearing a nappy like and you have to be like Hey, uh, I got something to tell you
Starting point is 00:46:20 Right, you're talking about actual nappies, you're talking about shreddies Shreddies Well, some, maybe if someone's got medical condition You don't have to mock them for it, Jamie No, I'm saying if you look at I'm upset No, what about if they go, they pull their shreddies down And then suddenly the smell fills the air
Starting point is 00:46:37 You've got to address that, I guess Yeah, be prepared Mm-hmm Speaking of a poo, Poo on face says sorry to bring up the constant teenage talk but did you ever have really bad acne problems growing up if so how did you handle it? Um
Starting point is 00:46:57 well when I had spots I just popped them You didn't really have acne problems Yeah James didn't have I was weird I actually had yours was very just like Normal pretty standard It was like the odd spot Yeah but I had them like two minutes
Starting point is 00:47:12 It would be pop clean gone And then there's people I don't get it because it's just like do you pop the spot or do you not? Because I saw people in there fucking huge whiteheads and just be like, I want to fucking pull you to the floor and pop that fucking spot. I think they say not to fiddle with it
Starting point is 00:47:27 just because the bacteria are on your fingers if you're like, say for example, in class and you haven't washed your hands and you're just fiddling with your acne you're getting bacteria all over it and that's just a bad idea. Yeah, yeah. But if you're at home, everything's clean
Starting point is 00:47:43 and you're going to pop it and then instantly clean it, soap it all out. Why didn't you pop it? Why do people leave it? No, but I mean, in my case, my cheeks were covered in spots. Like, not really bad acne, but I remember like... Just kind of a red tinge. I remember scratching my face and just skin coming off.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Mm-hmm. Because there was like so much. And just to try and, in a cleansing manner, like in the shower, just sort of. of scratch my face again. Yeah, I remember the worst for me was around sick form kind of time. So like 17, 18. Yeah, mine would have been like 15, 16, I think. Right. But it's just, it's like the personality type I have where whatever your most obvious flaw is is what I'm going to just obsessively like freak out over. Yeah. And when you have acne, it's like the most obvious like it's not even if you if you actually understand like what it is then it's like not
Starting point is 00:48:48 really a flaw you know but as like a teenager you yeah it's like the biggest thing yeah it's the most obvious and you're so insecure and just have no idea what you're doing that like it really bothered me when i was like 17 or 18 even though i didn't have it like really bad or anything no it was just always just like kind of there i mostly had it around like my my kind of chin sort of barrier around my face. But yeah, what was the actual question? How do you handle it? I know that some people can get acne so bad that they can't touch it because it just
Starting point is 00:49:25 like comes out and hives and it can damage the skin. Some people are very unlucky and like, I know people have that and that's a different case. I mean, yeah, yeah, a lot of it is genetic. So you're kind of just at the, you know, at the whim of what your genes are. But there are steps you can take, I guess, to make it better if you're like, some people have to, like, obsessively, like, wash their pillow sheets and stuff like that and wash their face constantly. And then you don't want to wash it too much because that can make it worse. It's like a whole thing. But in most cases, it does pass.
Starting point is 00:50:01 It does just go away. Yeah. It's often in a hormonal thing based on all the... all the chemical changes in your body around that time. But yeah, it can be really horrific for some people. I don't like this attitude some people have where they're like, they associate acne with like uncleannliness or dirtiness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Even though it's like, well, if you have it, like you can't really fucking control it, you know? Yeah, that's the thing. Just like knowing that it, it's not a defining feature. forever yeah even if you have like adult chronic acne like there's nothing you can do about it so like what the way people treat it as if it's like a dirty thing yeah a lot of the time the people who do have it and they obviously know they have it more cleanly and they're washing their face more than yeah yeah for sure the people who don't have to worry about it yeah so um same user asks us ask this question if everyone had the same skin color what skin color
Starting point is 00:51:10 would you prefer everyone to have? I can't answer that. What the fuck? No, I can't answer that. You can't spin that question to be normal. Everyone's purple. Uh... No, then we'd just argue over the shades of purple.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Yeah, or something else, like... What hat? To have that, Every single place on the planet has to have the exact same geographic conditions. Like, I can't. No, that's getting too scientific. Like, you're trying to assign real life onto this. Yeah, I am.
Starting point is 00:51:53 Because I just can't take that out of like, nah. Yeah, I think that's a stupid question. Okay. They can take responsibility for their question. I just hear of ask. I mean, it's like I don't give a shit. Seifu. See, we're completely translucent.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Translucent, yeah, you can't see anyone. Just a little bit murky. Bones. Everyone's a skeleton. The bone generation. Yeah. Well, they're not going to last long, are they? Who's going to see them?
Starting point is 00:52:24 We have this interesting story here from Ratt underscore Goth. Okay, so this is kind of a long one, but I feel the need to share it with you all. So at night, I'll typically put on an episode of a podcast that I've heard before to help me fall asleep. The other night, that episode happened to be Corncast number seven, milky jugs addiction. As I was falling asleep, Alex's story about putting Harry Bow into liquid unlocked a memory that I buried so far it didn't occur to me when I first heard the episode fully awake. Basically, when I was a kid, my little sister would put a single red gummy bear
Starting point is 00:52:55 into a shot-sized paper cup filled with water. After letting it sit for a while, the water would turn pink, and we would drink it. She called this intervention gummy water. I don't know what compelled her to do this, but we thought this was such a jeezed. genius idea that she could sell the invention as a business model someday. Anyway, it was... I find it interesting that we now have at least two accounts of kids putting gummy candy into liquid for some reason. I guess a question stemming from this would be,
Starting point is 00:53:25 are there any other weird things you made up as a kid that you thought would be your claim to fame? Is this just something kids do then where they just like... Yes, I did it. And they think... You did it. I'm really sure I did it. You put gummies in water? put gummies in water? You wouldn't?
Starting point is 00:53:40 Do you think you just do? No, so Alex put milk milk bottles in milk. Yeah, that's psycho. I did do it with water too. I remember putting gummy boughs in water and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. No, but that wasn't for like any taste reason.
Starting point is 00:53:56 It was funny to watch them go big. And then when the water has changed colour, then you're like, well, might as well drink it. I don't remember thinking it was like... Oh, we all worked like a new creation, like an invention, like a million-dollar idea or anything like that. No, that's true. If it was that much of a... You did the milk-milk bottle thing for enjoyment.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Oh, yeah. Yeah, no doubt. And milk bottles are bad enough as is. Yeah, that's all... In milk, I'd probably bomb on. Yeah, I think I would. I think I'd be sick. Drinking milk and getting that cluggied, fucking moist milk jug down your throat.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Are there any weird things you made up as a kid that would be, that you thought might be something? No? Yeah. I don't think so. Probably. I can't remember. Don't remember my childhood.
Starting point is 00:54:48 That's something I'm going to have to brew on and only mention if I suddenly remember it. Yeah, yeah. Because like, just this whole, like, Harry Bow in water thing is bringing up, like, a bunch of memories that are all very grey. Just, like, experimenting with, like, like, with the Cheerio packet. Like, remember that? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:55:07 A packet of Cheerio. We, like, teamed up. Did we both do it? We teamed up to separate every single type of Cheerio. Into a pile. Yeah, into a pile. And I remember, because obviously, the best ones are like the golden ones. And you try...
Starting point is 00:55:24 This is default... This is default Cheerios where they've got, what, four different... Five, I think. Four or five different types. Wait, Cheerios have flavours. They're like different types of oats or something. Yeah, yeah. You know, that kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Yeah, the basic cheirios, at least in the UK, are like that. But this is a memory I have where we were separating these cheirias, and the obvious best one is like the golden one. Yeah, yeah. It's delicious. It's awesome. And I have this memory where you're trying to convince me that my favourite one is like the bland brown one.
Starting point is 00:56:03 I was like gaslighting you into trying to... Yeah, you were trying to convince me. me that my favourite thing was the one that you didn't want. Yeah. So that you had all the good ones. That's a classic older. I think she's like a weamy master
Starting point is 00:56:17 manipulator. No, that's a classic older sibling maneuver. Yeah. But this time I was like no, I like the golden ones because it was food. Yeah. No convincing could do it. Yeah. I'm like
Starting point is 00:56:31 a Labrador when it comes to food. I think we all are. Yeah, I remember that quite clearly actually sorting the cheery into the piles. I'm sure, in America where they have series of marshmallows in, I'm sure that's a major American thing of splitting cereal. They love their colourful cereals, so they could probably have some fun with the different colours. Sort the e-numbers and all that.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Fruit loops. Yeah, fruit loops. I remember trying fruit loops for the first time. I was really disappointed. Awful. What's the marshmallow ones called? They were fucking delicious. Lucky charms.
Starting point is 00:57:02 I like Lucky charms, but like... I've never had them. It's just so sweet to the point. where it's like, there's just no flavor. It's just a complete overwhelming sweetness going on with these fruit loops right now. I try to just eat them off the box. No, I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:57:16 And that's come from me. I love sweet shit. Yeah, no, but it wasn't like a bunch. Do you remember those fruit polos? Mm-hmm. Every single one had like such a distinct flavor. With fruit loops, it was just like a bland fake sweetness. Not like a different fruit flavor.
Starting point is 00:57:35 It was just fucking loops. They should just be called loops. Okay. Oscar Man 97 says, as Jamie and Alex seem to frequent the Reddit, I was wondering if you had any particular standout pieces of jar fan content that you've personally enjoyed. Maybe a chance to talk about some of your favorite community creations on the cast.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Thank you, and game on. Recently, someone made like a virtual recreation of the jar cast set in Blender and like moved the set around in the way. we would have moved it to change the location of the sofa and stuff that was super cool it's like photorealistic and
Starting point is 00:58:15 yeah from our perspective from our perspective yeah on the so that's one of most up-voted things as of late on there I'd like to shout out someone photoshopped my face onto I think his name is
Starting point is 00:58:29 you've said this already you've explained it Jetstream Sam yes is that his name yes yeah yeah That's probably my favorite one of all time. Favorite thing of all time.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Pretty cool. What pops into your head, James? Difficult. There's been some funny stuff. There's been a lot of funny stuff. The nice memes, the Red Jamie abuses me. They're funny. They're good.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Yeah, I'm bullshit. Yeah, they're bullshit, but funny. Lots of options, either way. Yeah, I always go on there. No? No answers then? No, I can't. because I'm just, you know, I'm too cool, man. How about the one where somebody
Starting point is 00:59:12 somebody photoshop my face, I think, onto a dude from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance? I've got a fondness for the jar anime animated intro thing. I like that. Oh, God, yeah. That was from a while ago there. That feels like a YouTube thing more than a Reddit thing, right?
Starting point is 00:59:33 Yeah, true. True. Okay. Sage Ward says, back in the first corncast, the topic of Alex's trolling was brought up, and he mentioned how he was doing it. When he was doing it, it was sort of the golden age of trolling. Even during that golden age, though, the most popular trolling content on YouTube were usually guys like Minnesota Burns or Keem Starr's Federation of Asshole Gamers,
Starting point is 01:00:01 which consisted almost entirely of grown adults getting sincerely upset about children on Xbox Live, and then screaming and harassing them. Those were some abysmally mean-spirited video trends, and I feel they'd detracted a lot from the golden age, yet they probably most define this era for most viewers. God, I can't speak. My question, therefore, is what differentiates good trolling from bad trolling or just being an asshole?
Starting point is 01:00:28 I didn't want to interrupt to you while you were reading that, but... Minnesota Burns. Era, more like error. E-Rour. There's a difference because there's the trolling where people just be cunts and then say, oh, I'm trolling. Why do I know the name, Minnesota about? Because we watched him a bit. We watched him around the time he would do, like, the Xbox Live trolling on cod videos.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Maybe he did a bit of Halo, too. I can't remember. Yeah. We watched the cod ones. He was like a really obnoxious, like. Cunk. Yeah. He was just a...
Starting point is 01:00:59 Sort of like Keemstar with his federation. Yeah, it was all about, like, you know, fucking with kids on Xbox Live. type shit. Just being horrible. I don't remember his content at all. I just... It was really bland. I guess when I say the golden age of trolling, it's just to me. Yeah. Yeah, because you're not like a...
Starting point is 01:01:18 Cunt. I never made content out of it. No. But it was so non-aggressive. But people just get really angry at you and you're just like making the most kind of light-hearted... Most of my trolling career
Starting point is 01:01:34 was spent in the IGN. just trolling like Killzone fans or um or Yahoo Answers which again was like people are coming to my Yahoo Answers account to answer my ridiculous questions like yeah it's not the same as like keemstar going out sports live and then you know doing what he did I remember a cringy troll of yours being a Halo Wars themed one and you found it so funny you asked how do I change like oh yeah yeah in Halo Wars. No, that's what I...
Starting point is 01:02:08 No, I would troll on Halo Wars. Like, um, I would search online, send my enemy a message like, how do you change character? Hoping that it would mean they spend their time typing out a response so I could go and beat them. That's genius. Because at the time...
Starting point is 01:02:26 That's so dirty. Because we would use, um, second accounts at the low level, but we were like the most try hard, literally the most try hard Halo Wars players ever. And we were just, of people I think like there were you three being you two and Rubin and like three other people on the other side of the world that were like the equivalent of us yeah they were like a few hundred players on the three threes that's what I mean though like my intent was never
Starting point is 01:02:56 malicious I was never trying to well unless it was Halo Wars then your intent was to win and to beat them in which case I mean I was using the tools I was using the tools that was were there for me to use, you know? It's wars. In war, there aren't rules. And it is harmless, you know. I guess that's what separates it. It's just like mischievous, tricksy, as opposed to...
Starting point is 01:03:27 I know, I remember, actually, because we'd play. Yeah, cruel. And because we played so much, we knew where the free resources were on the maps, Alex would just be like, wait, I'm just going to say, them a message and they steal their resources who drive to their base, nickel their resources and drive back before they actually do anything. I think it's that thing that a lot of people who like, they master a game to the point where they can just mess with people who aren't as good at them at that game and it's part
Starting point is 01:03:52 of the fun of like, it's why communities form around games. Like if you search online and Smash Bros and you go against someone who's incredible, they're just gonna wreck you like as quickly as they can and to them it's like this huge rush and to you've just been obliterated. But that's why they make it fun. Yeah, they're trying to, like, style on you. Yeah. And when you're, like, restricted by, like, an RTS,
Starting point is 01:04:13 it's like the only thing you can do is get creative. I don't think that's creative. I think it was... Well, I mean, it is creative, but in a dastardly dirty way. Yeah, it's like throwing dust in their eyes and then punching them in the dick. Well, that's not that bad. Because the worst possible thing that can happen
Starting point is 01:04:32 is that you lose a game because you're typing out a long message. Yeah, but Alex, here's the thing. That would happen, but they would lose. It was, that happened. We were horrible to people on Hale Wars. Because we make the most powerful unit in the game, the unbeatable unit in the game, and we just fucking destroyed one building, one away.
Starting point is 01:04:54 For half an hour, just destroyed one building, because they can do anything, so we just fuck with them. We were horrible. No, that's not the same, though, as being Minnesota burns. Yeah. You know? Because we were... Yeah, we were just...
Starting point is 01:05:08 We weren't actually... We used the mechanics of a game to just, like, be a dick. Yeah. We weren't actually being... Is that so much of a crime? See, any multiplayer game, I think of me, like, an existential crisis. Because now when I get fucked within a game, I'm going to think of you guys when you were, like, 14.
Starting point is 01:05:25 That's... Just being so good... That's the whole appeal of multiplayer gaming is that, like, when you kill someone, you were beating someone, like an other person. No, but there's a difference between. between beating someone and doing it when you know you are. Putting them down
Starting point is 01:05:38 to raise yourself up. That's what you guys were doing. In Halo Wars. In fucking Halo Wars of all things. I didn't think we could get good enough at. We were cool dudes. I do that in Codd now though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I mean, I'm fucking sick at Codding. I'm just quick scope now. Yeah. Coom! Oster freaking Soros says, question for the boys since the inception of the jailcast way back when what's the in your opinion funniest joke to come out of it um her pussy yeah what jokes what you're talking about yeah this is serious you've never made a joke in our life we I'm sorry that like we actually
Starting point is 01:06:27 talk about the things that matter and that we're not oh we're on YouTube we're got to be funny all the time yeah no fuck you yeah we've done 200 episodes of us being just straight face serious and that's why people get coming back quite frankly so fuck this question yeah yeah you know we talk about what actually is the the thing that is important not what is so true funny funny is fleeting importance is impotent funny is just fucking cringe who gives two shit, who gives five shits about being funny anymore? He gives six shits about being fucking hilarious.
Starting point is 01:07:07 We're in the new age. No one gives five shits about laughing anymore. It's all about you know. Being fucking cool man. It's all about what, when, why where? And where? And even how.
Starting point is 01:07:24 It's all about It's, oh. No, I wanted you to say Pip. No, that's too predictable. That all, that, you see, you gave James time to pip. Pop. Poi. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:07:39 Fuck you. Okay. Get fuck, bitch. Ronald McMummy says, JAR Media stopped me from frying my brain. I've been listening to all the jar cast and I'm currently on 107. Episode 107. I enjoyed listening to JAR Media while I take care of plants at my job.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Around episode 99.9.9. or somewhere around there, Alex talks about his medication side effect issues and mentions propranolol. This caught my attention because I'm currently taking propranolol for health reasons, which I won't get into. I thought it was strange that Alex had such a hard time with the medicine because I never had any issues with it, but I actually researched a little bit more and realized I'd been dealing with a lot of the same side effects that Alex mentioned. Such side effects I dealt with included fatigue, short-term memory loss, and more. I'm lucky enough to not deal with memory loss though Wait what?
Starting point is 01:08:36 That's a good joke Nice one So I contacted my doctor And we decided to lower the dose of propranol And I'm not dealing with as many problems now I thank you Alex So that leads me to the question What would the cast of Madagascar be as pharmaceutical drugs
Starting point is 01:08:52 Oh Shit That's a tough one hey first of I'll say I definitely learn a lesson from that that you know
Starting point is 01:09:06 before you start pumping drugs into your body it's probably worth the research yeah it's a good thing it was something like propanan or not and not
Starting point is 01:09:14 what heart medication yeah something like I'd say it's you know heroin or something oh yeah yeah so Marty is definitely like cocaine
Starting point is 01:09:25 no it's not a mid-discan Pharmaceutical drugs I don't know the name of them Right, pharmaceutical drugs like as in English ones They're all the same Yeah, whatever, you know
Starting point is 01:09:41 Pericetamol is No, ibuprofen is Alex Melman. No, Melman is Adderall No No, go re-watch Madagascar 2 right now He is not Adderall Adderall is either Marty
Starting point is 01:09:57 Or Adderall is Alex Marty, Marty's is Adderall Why? It's Alex, the answer is Alex Because he's all Way, hey, whoa Alex for Adderall Alex is Adderall
Starting point is 01:10:11 Or Melmott Melman is paracetamol Is ibuprofen Paracetamol No, I disagree I hate this, I'm not answering Okay then Alex, he put his heart out
Starting point is 01:10:25 No, I liked the part up until the Madagascar has drugs part because I just don't know enough drugs, all right? I'm going to come clean. I love the question. Honestly, I love that question. Gloria is night nurse. Gloria is cough to it. Gloria is liquid night nurse.
Starting point is 01:10:43 Melman is tablet night nurse. The day version too, not the night version. Yes. Yeah. With caffeine in it. What's the penguins? Are they depositories? suppositories
Starting point is 01:10:58 Yes Hugh Janus 22 says How did you come up with good afternoon morning evening or night Is it coincidental that Game On works as an acronym for it Or did you purposefully tried to come up with something that Game On stood for When I came up with it, it was sort of How do I explain this? No, what actually is the origin?
Starting point is 01:11:23 Because 4 to 7 says it's from the Truman Show No Truman Show is And in case I don't see you Good morning Or good afternoon, good evening And good night Good morning afternoon evening on
Starting point is 01:11:38 I'll Google the exact quote From Truman Show Good afternoon No no we're wrong Yeah we're wrong Because we don't do it in chronological order Because the Truman show thing is that he says Good morning to his neighbour
Starting point is 01:11:52 And then he says And in case I don't see you good afternoon evening or night. It's not from that. That's right, yeah, good morning and in case I don't see you, good afternoon. Yeah, it's not the same because we would phrase it completely differently.
Starting point is 01:12:05 No, what it came from was that we didn't know how to intro it and we just logically thought, well, if you're watching this on YouTube, the demographics could be anywhere at any time. Yeah, and do you know what I reckon? I reckon, because you started it doing these, like, solo jar vids.
Starting point is 01:12:27 Oh, yeah. And I reckon you were recording in the afternoon. And you, so you automatically would say, good afternoon, and then morning, evening or night. And there's something about the word afternoon that sounds better to lead with, for some reason? Yeah, I know what you mean. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Like, it sounds fucked.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Yeah. Good morning, afternoon. Good morning, afternoon, evening or night. It doesn't flow. Good afternoon, morning, evening or night. ladies and gentlemen and then I came up with that boom that boom
Starting point is 01:12:57 and then we just sat there one day and it was just like game on no somebody somebody said on Reddit or in the comments or something game on and we were like
Starting point is 01:13:09 wait what holy shit and then it's stuck basically Alex is the most hardcore gamer without knowing it just unint
Starting point is 01:13:22 isn't that most jar thing unintentionally creating a like intro that just happens to also perfectly spell game on yeah like it's cringy it's genius it's jar it's accidental it's yeah okay then let's do two more zir underscore char char char says question how does jar feel about the handling of the coronavirus in the uk do you think more could have been done or it wasn't handled quick enough. I personally think they should have started limiting people's interactions outside
Starting point is 01:13:57 earlier as the first couple of cases came in. Yeah, it was handled badly. Yeah, the government is fucking clueless. We're not the worst in the world by any means, but fucking I'm not impressed. It's very difficult to be
Starting point is 01:14:14 worse than the two worst. Literally impossible to be worse than them. What's the second? worst. America, Brazil. Brazil, the president Brazil didn't believe it was a thing. He's got it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:30 And they've got the most highest cases, like, death mates and whatnot. Yeah. To me, my whole thing has been like, through my entire life, um, I've never really had to rely on the government for anything direct, you know? Of course. Of course, you know, they fix potholes and,
Starting point is 01:14:46 you know, whatever. Have you never been on benefits? For like a month. but it was like a huge ball lake and like just wasn't worth my time um but this was the first time it was like i was living through something where the government's reaction and intervention and the way they handled it was like crucial to the the health of the country and not just the country but like individuals yeah like it's it's directly affecting our lives in the way we live our lives. It's a thing where no matter what class
Starting point is 01:15:22 you're in, if the government doesn't take some sort of precautions any of you can be fucked. Like, in cases where it's like just the poor people get fucked. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. A lot of people can just
Starting point is 01:15:38 sort of turn their gaze. But with this, everyone gets fucked. And of course, Jim and I have this like a tear between the UK and New Zealand and just seeing like just how beautifully that country handled it and being stuck here and being like why are we not like doing what they did
Starting point is 01:16:00 of course of course you know it's different government different country different standards and everything different culture but you know like we're still an island we still the government definitely knew that this was happening a long time before they acted on it but the fact that we knew what was going on in Italy and Europe and obviously China
Starting point is 01:16:22 way before the government started enforcing anything. And what's frustrated me the most is just like the way the government's kind of communicated with the people has just been like what every now and again Boris just drops this fucking weird video where he like doesn't explain anything very well and it's like actually some of you just do what you think is right and it's just like what the fuck you talking about you fucking prick just get it together.
Starting point is 01:16:47 that's like a theory isn't it that um they're they purposefully wanted to make they're saying things but sort of contradicting themselves but using really specific language so that if if it if it peaks again they can say
Starting point is 01:17:03 you just didn't listen to us blah blah blah it's horse shit yeah it's embarrassing leadership and I think it's embarrassing It makes us look terrible And as if we haven't looked up
Starting point is 01:17:21 For like the last year and a bit Because you remember we were like When other countries in Europe We're shutting down And we were still like Kind of normal But everyone was half aware of it And we're half kind of like
Starting point is 01:17:34 Am I supposed to be here right now Am I supposed to be in this restaurant right now Should I really be out right now But like there was no real communication And like It's the thing where it's like You can't just And you can't expect the individuals of the country to, like, act against all these new sources.
Starting point is 01:17:52 You need to take charge and give us some kind of direction so we know what to do as a unit to be able to defeat this enemy being this virus. Yeah. And the thing is, like, now the, like, lockdown has ended. There are, like, select good things that the government is doing at the moment. But I think it is happening too soon. Yeah. I think lockdown might... Maybe should have lasted a bit longer. Or we should have gone into lockdown sooner.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Well, yeah. I mean, ideally lockdown sooner, because then there'd be less dead people. But just the fact that we're risking this second spike... Yeah. It's scary. It's like, as individuals, we count on the government to protect us. And, like, it's just not good. enough with the death toll in the country
Starting point is 01:18:47 especially when you contrast it with like other countries who have had their shit together and have much lower death tolls it's supposed to be one of the like richest have it together kind of places in the world and it's just fucking embarrassing show
Starting point is 01:19:02 I'm a nothing positive can be said about them yeah all awful all right let's end on this one And then from Benjor, Benjoureditor, who says, question for the group, was watching episode
Starting point is 01:19:22 174 of the other night in which Rubin darsely states that he think the scouse accent is the worst. Being from around that area that got me thinking, do you guys have any strong opinions on the north of England? Have you visited and liked any cities in the area? I'd never been to Wiltshire, but from what you tell me about Swindon, I'm not too keen to go. Jim and I we've got quite a connection with the north
Starting point is 01:19:46 well yeah we have northern blood this is where our family comes from right yeah Liverpool well the peel Liverpool yeah so we have a bunch of family up there we see now yeah
Starting point is 01:19:59 but there is this thing in the UK where there's this kind of divide between the north and the south tend to be more uptight and noncy just like dicks pricks
Starting point is 01:20:14 yeah like they're the city folk they're yeah yeah they think they know better type shit they're like elitist yeah so the the northerners
Starting point is 01:20:25 tend to be more like liberal freedom but like London's really fucking liberal no no no isn't the north supposed to be more not liberal
Starting point is 01:20:34 more racist that's the view of the north that's the stereotype racist no no but I think From what I understand My small connection with the North
Starting point is 01:20:48 Like They're very very labour Pro labour So like left wing Yeah so more left wing And Their beer is a lot cheaper A lot of things are cheaper
Starting point is 01:21:08 And it obviously depends on where you are, but from where our family up north is considered their housing and everything is much cheaper and you can... Yeah, and from what I understand, the people are more approachable and nicer. They're definitely... The people up north are way friendlier than the people in, like, London, for example. Oh, fuck. I mean, London isn't fair, but if you compare to, like... Any of the big... Like, south-sities around here, to be honest.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Devon, Cornwall, even A bit closer to home Somerset I'm even thinking about like Bristol and Bath and our local cities Yeah, I think it's unfair to compare Cities with Because when we went to Liverpool
Starting point is 01:21:58 It wasn't like a city Or when we go to Liverpool We're just going to see our family Yeah And interact with the small community in that area comparing that to when we go to London and just explore London
Starting point is 01:22:12 like of course our interactions are going to be different but there's there's definitely a different feel to the northern family who we are more removed from it feels like we are as close to them as our
Starting point is 01:22:31 closely knit family in the South and I don't know if that's just because of like strong family ties or if it's the sort of northern ways yeah yeah what about you james what's your opinion on the north of england i haven't got an opinion on it i'm bin i've got no connection there it's just a north we should go all of this road trip yeah yeah alex's card though mine well i think that's it folks that does it for this episode of the
Starting point is 01:23:08 Jarm Media podcast, Pip. Pop. Pam. I forgot my own. Poi! Thanks for watching this episode of Pip. Pop. Oh, the Poi.
Starting point is 01:23:23 And the premium voy. I'm going to piss myself. Do you think anyone's going to, like, just wonder what the fuck we're talking about with that shit? Yes, because it makes no fucking sense. It must have been zero sense. Well, maybe we'll explain the premium boy and all that. If anyone cares, if no one asks us, though, I'm not going to address it.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Why not, James, you know? Eff it.
