Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gents.
My name is Alex, and I'm here bringing you episode 2.15 of the JARCast.
Of course, I'm joined, as always, by James or the passionate nap for himself.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night.
And rounding off the crew, we got Jim.
Yeah.
Just Jim today.
Just being normal.
Before that you know, you go ahead.
Yeah?
Let's shout out of the patrons then before we get into the episode.
We've got lots to talk about this week.
Lots of supports.
A few dibbys and sandies to shout out when we get to the halfway point.
Big thanks to them.
You know what guys, I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Not sure what type of grease, mind you.
What type of grease, James?
Yeah, grease Jim.
up James
frees me up babe
I would like to give
a update on
the passionate napper
oh okay okay
hasn't been napping
you haven't been napping since quarantine
why are you fiddling with the mic
it's like you're
you just instinctually do it
yeah I've got that trigger
that tick I don't know if that's the word
passionate napper has not been napping
I have genuine quite bad bag
bags under my my eyes
why don't you nap then
because life is so busy during the day
I'm not getting napping in
so you think you're working more now in quarantine
than when you actually had to go there
yeah so you haven't
haven't had a nap o'clock
and it's really destroying myself
mentally and physically
those one hour sleeps
they really make the difference
but
it's all okay
let's do some housekeeping
all right
you know squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that
Patreon stretch goal
the Patreon stretch goal update which we
mentioned last episode
we hit it
and we were like we can't actually
really do it or whatever
we've been talking to some jarlings out there
communicating
problem solving and we think
we have a way to solve it
so our plan is
to actually move ahead with this it might take a couple
months to fully complete
however we believe we can move forward with this and we can start yeah we got lots of help from jarlings
or whatever they told us what to do um we got some people on it so we'll see how that comes together
yeah but as far as the rSS feed and the whole confusion with that goes uh we figure the best solution
would be to have like a jar archive rSS feed that has the other episodes on it that
aren't that we missed basically yeah so it doesn't screw up the current rs
but there will be a way to go back
and see the older ones so
yeah we didn't betray our stretch cold
in the end we're doing we're working on it all right
just complications that we didn't
unforeseen circumstances
but we see them now and we're
yeah
working away to make sure yeah
we've changed the lighting again
yeah a lot of people have been mentioning it
um
the lighting in the last few episodes has been
a bit
We've been testing it, really.
I just, I need more time to tinker with this camera, like, when we...
Every day you make, like, a new step.
Yeah, yeah, I just...
A new discovery.
It's a whole new, new world for us.
Yeah, and the Phantom Menace, as good as they say, won the Patreon vote,
and that is up to watch on the channel now, so check that out if that sounds interesting to you.
Got a bit of feedback from about the last episode, first one from Abe.
just saying I don't like this podcast
I actually don't know how to describe it
it just sucks
a useful feedback there
bangin love it
what do you think of that James
come on Abe
what does he mean
does he mean that episode or this podcast
I don't know
Abe you're gonna have to give us more info dude
we can't adjust based on that
but Jacob Mastic said the lighting here is spot on
so they liked the last episode's lighting
Hey, chance would be a fine thing.
Logan Stevens said,
the best cod tier list I've ever heard,
true Chad Tase,
so that was someone agreeing with you, James.
Jordan M says, thanks for the acknowledgement lag.
It's perfect lighting this time around,
even though we're changing it again.
SS Spring 10234 PA
gave some feedback, which I was interested in,
because we mentioned Chavs,
which is like a British thing.
Yes.
But they said pretty sure it's Chad.
not chav, Americans have
literally no clue what a chav is,
which is what I assumed.
What you mean chad? How's it, Chad?
Well, they don't know what a chav is,
so they think we're saying chad.
No.
No, we mean chav, they're different things.
Yeah, council-housed, antisocial and violent.
Yeah.
I don't understand how people don't,
because chav memes are quite big.
Because we're in the UK.
We see the UK chav memes.
Just because...
No, but even...
Why would chav memes be in like an American's algorithm?
No, but I know people from other countries
and they know what chavs are
because they've no chav memes
but the people you know
don't represent the whole world
no of course not but
that's myopic all right
yeah you think your bubble
is the whole world
this is why the squeaky wheel
and he's the grease dude
yeah like
James can you
slop some of that grease over here my dude
so you're calling me out
on my view on chavs
what is your
favorite chav meme
just oi mate
no it's
it's dobstop parkour
Yeah, we've been mocking those chavs as well
That was a straight of a chav meme
Uh
Tough Swammy says
James's take on car YouTube is quite annoying
He should watch
Project Binky, Mighty Car Mods
and Boosted Boys
And understand that these are
the elite non-toxic channels
That don't just splurge on expensive shit all the time
What do you say to that James
Binky
Binky
The main, like, car channels are like that, but there is other good channels like that.
I don't consume, like, the main, I consume the little smaller channels which do make really good content.
Like, I know of all of those channels, because I've watched them.
They're the channels I like.
You're not saying that they were bad, though, weren't you?
No, not those types.
The main ones, you know, the clout ones, but it's all about Lamborghinis, you know, money.
Right.
They're the ones I dislike because there's no...
So you've got nothing against Project Binky.
No, no minis.
minis yeah you look minis yeah they're sticking like like uh they're full
driving it with a turbo engines it's gonna be really fast so that that's
they're like properly good channels it's just the majority are quite bad
like i i watch drift works a lot noriyaro hoonigan at times you know i watch some good
stuff but this car community is just bad it's quite bad okay
and uh finally pancho mhm says if the judge
boys keep this lighting up, they'll look like the Falma by episode
230. A little Skyrim joke for you.
Very funny.
Just...
You know, let's give him a round of applause.
So much has happened in the last week.
It's actually kind of...
Oh, just so much.
C-R-I-N-G, you know?
C-R-I-N-G. Oh, cringe.
Great, now we've been demonetized.
Thanks.
Let's start with this one then.
let's start with the lamest and build up to like important because this like doesn't actually matter but it's it's uh gaming drama gaming drama 101 so uh
gaming drama yeah so this is you'll know about this um this avengers game that's coming out
that looks rubbish um it's been announced that the character of spider man is an exclusive to uh the playstation platform
which is
fucking bullshit
terrible
it's really not good
you mean effing BS
dude yeah
okay
yeah
you can't
I think it's a bit ridiculous
to monitor to
exclusive eyes
I don't know if that's the word
the most
iconic Marvel character
you're just getting
an objectively
worse game
if you get any other version
yes
and they've been
doing this for years now and I don't know how they've gotten away with it. Red Dead has extra
missions. Destiny has a bunch of extra shit that they only have on PS4. Modern Warfare
had that game mode exclusive to PS4. All of this is bullshit. But how do they get away with
that? It's such a double standard. You remember with um when Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced
as being a having a one year exclusivity on on Xbox 1 or whatever? The uproar and the anger about
But it was pretty intense.
But the console war shit rages on, and this stuff doesn't help.
Yeah, I mean, I don't get why this is one that's really pissed people off.
Because, like, I'm not getting the game either way.
I think it's just what it represents more than what it actually is.
Because, like, it's just super scummy and bad business.
It's anti-consumer.
Well, vote with your wallet.
Yeah, I mean, the game looked trash anyway.
I feel like we've been trashed this game for ages
Yeah
Jim and I watched like some footage
Like a few weeks ago or whatever
And like in their official gameplay
There's like broken animations
Like the
The gameplay
Like this is what they were showing off
Was the most dull shit I've ever seen
Yeah
It's like a destiny clone
It was so boring
Yeah I think the game looks awful
But I think that sucks
That's Spider-Man
exclusive thing
yeah it's super lame
so one of the best Avengers
it is the best Avenger
it's just the best Marvel character
but speaking of spiders
um
not spiders
how do you think and on the topic of games too
how do you guys feel about this
spider slider
that's in the game
uh shit
reuben was talking about in the group chat earlier
the one with the
An obsidian survival game?
Yeah, grounded, sorry.
Yeah.
I forgot to write the fucking game down.
I haven't actually seen any footage, but...
But in the game, you're like...
It's like, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids game, basically.
You're like, little guys running around in a garden
with all those insects as the baddies.
But there's a setting in the menu for, like, a racnophobia.
So there's a slider that changes the way the spiders look
and simplifies them down.
Like, so you don't see the design of a spider
and they're just like a blob that's not...
Really?
Spider, yeah.
But you can still interact with them
in the way they're designed.
But isn't it like a survival game
where they're gonna kill you?
Yeah, but if they're just changing
the way they look and they behave the same.
It's just an interesting idea.
No, no, it is a really interesting idea.
It's weird for fear, though.
Surely that's an aspect of your game.
Like, you want it to be kind of scary.
Yeah.
A lot of games are trying to prove their accessibility.
aren't they like
when the last of us two came out
there was all this discussion about
the myriad of options
they went out of their way to include
to make it more kind of accessible
and customizable
yeah but is
phobias
are phobias
a disability
um
to an extent
uh yeah
if with some
someone who has arachnophobia
and they witness a spider
isn't not quite an extreme reaction
they might not, I don't know
I don't see any harm in it because like
it's an option
I feel like the more options
the better, you know?
There's no real negative to it
unless... I'm just saying like what is
the point?
Because you... Why go to the
effort?
Certain people can play. There's more people who buy your game, that's more
money, it's good for business, it's good for
everything. Okay, if your game is
designed to be your
small and bugs are big
people that are
arachnophobic are probably not
going to get the game anyway
well no but what if they see the slider
thing and they're like ooh
I can turn the spiders down
but I'm horrendously afraid of
arachnids
but when it's in a video
game or something I don't
if it was a
VR game I'd understand
but the fact that it's on a screen
there's a disconnecter
But it's not a bad thing
So I just... I'm not saying it's a bad thing
I'm just saying it's a terrible thing
No, it's not
I'm saying it's probably the worst thing since
Skyrim
Yeah
That game didn't have spider sliders
Actually on the subject of Skyim
I'm I, it's one of those games that's been
permanently ruined
Skyrim? Yep
Ruin by what memes?
Jeremy
Jeremy?
Oh the composer
Yes
I suppose.
I mean, we talked about that when that happened.
Yeah, but I've just, I remembered it,
because it's just like, yeah,
I really can't play that game again.
Yeah, I was looking through,
I've got one of those apps that tells you
when, like, the bands you follow on Spotify
are going to be playing Live Ney.
And it imported, like, my whole Spotify,
and I was going through sorting out
all the ones I don't care about
actually seeing live or whatever.
And because I've got the Skyrim soundtrack on my,
Spotify saw him there Jeremy
Is he playing live soon
I don't think so
I highly doubt that one
Jam I got someone to ask you
Have you ever heard of an oxygen bar
An oxygen bar
As in like when you're in a video game and you go underwater
No this is no video games anymore
I'm talking about the real life
like a bar of oxygen
a bar you go to
but instead of getting drinks or whatever
oh shit now that you're saying this
you like connect yourself
to an oxygen
supply and then
breathe in
and hyperventilate
until you feel funny
yeah
have you heard of these James
gaseous confidence they call it
they're real they're in like cities
like if you Google them you can see the
weird pictures of people
yeah it sounds to be a fine thing
in the oxygen bottle
they're different coloured oxygen tanks
that they're hooking up to their noses
Oh so they got like flavors
Oh
Oh pineapple
Oh this one's particularly pressurized
That's the type of thing where I think we've gone
Too far a bit
When you're that privileged
Yeah
Why do you need that
Why wasn't a bar good enough
Listen to this there
Proponents of oxygen bars
Claim purified oxygen can
help, increased energy levels, improve mood, improve concentration, improve sports performance,
reduce stress, provide relief for headaches and migraines and promote better sleep.
Isn't that what every new fad is at first?
Literally.
Every good thing.
That's a good point.
Aren't there like water bars as well?
It's kind of a similar thing.
No way.
You can get water at a normal bar.
No, no, but like, it's like a gimmick bar, you know?
It's like different waters and shit like that.
Okay.
How could that be sustainable from a business perspective?
Because they're in like trendy cities, you know?
You've got to be a bit of a...
You've got to be a strange person to willingly go to a bar that only sells water because it's trendy.
What bar should we open?
The jar bar.
It could be like, um...
Like in Jackass where they have the...
helmet and then people farting into them
it's like a fetish bar
no we can't we can't have a fetish bar
yeah like sweat
and farts
wouldn't the menu just be one of us
like whoever's the best of farts
has the fart one
so I would obviously be the fart one
because I've got terrible farts
then what would you be
Gaseous
actually what would you be
if I was what sorry in the
the jar fetish bar
um
what are you just asking me what my fetishes are
no
what what can you provide
yeah stinky foot skin
oh there were because
last episode I was barefoot there were
some weird comments
like oh put those away
who it's giving me little tingles
what is the deal with like
in the past 10 15 years
foot fetish
stuff has just gone crazy
Fetcher's always been a thing
Surely it's just our awareness of it
It's always been a thing
But it feels like
It's a meme
It used to be
Yeah but like people
Learn about the meme
And then sort of
Get hooked on it
It's like prequel
It's like the prequels
Yeah yeah
It's like the prequels
Like
It seems like
There are so many
Fetishists
It's a pretty
It's a pretty popular kink
Of all the fetishes
It's pretty high up the
Because people
just find feet erotic
the year
no they are naturally
like a sensitive spot so then like if you
do touch them really slowly it can be quite
relaxing
but that's different but do you fuck feet
no Alex
I've got like the opposite of a foot footage where I kind of find feet
kind of gross
okay you can see how they're really similar
to hands but they're just like
like werewolf kind of joined
at the end and they're just like freaky fucking
they are I have someone who has like
like just disgusting feet yeah
I look at them and I just think
and everyone's feet like just
look wildly different yeah
everyone's hands look different
everyone's faces yeah but hands are cool though
yeah hands are also hand fetishes
are also a thing but I get it scared of spiders
no no no
but going back to this oxygen thing a minute
how much do you think it costs
one? A silly no it costs
it's really expensive I mean for what
oxygen
but I mean
I suppose it's a difficult question
Because the way it works is
Oxygen bars charge between
$1 and $2 per minute
Depending on location
And the scent you choose, if any
Thoughts?
That's kind of reasonable
What scent would you pay for?
Oh, bloody fuck
Wait, per minute?
Yeah, that's not bad
No, that's 20 minutes and you're spending 20 quid.
That's ridiculous.
Why would you spend 20 minutes huffing oxygen?
If I go into a pub, I'm going to stay there now and I'm going to have a pint.
Yeah, but you're not going to...
It's not a pub.
It's not a social thing.
You go in there, suck your oxygen.
Like, surely you could just go in and suck, like, so hard and just suck until you can't suck anymore.
Get as much of that oxygen as you can.
Do you know where it would be a good idea?
In the Andes.
or somewhere near there
really high up where there's not much oxygen
because in an oxygen bar actually makes sense
get between the oxygen bars without fainting
exactly that makes sense
not in Camden
or you know San Francisco
no
so you're not going to an oxygen bar anytime soon
my oxygen bar is just me going to bed at night
window open clear oxygen
yeah I'll give you an oxygen bar
I thought when you said oxygen bar
I thought you meant like a
like a protein bar of just pure oxygen
That's how you breathe in space
Yeah
Just bring up your oxygen bars
We're running low on oxygen bars
We're not going to make it
Speaking of feet James
Can you give me a massage?
No
I'm actually really good at foot massages
prove it
I guess the squeaky wheel
gets the grease
dude
because I don't have any
chance to be a fine thing
God
let's get serious
alright
when are I could talk about
some real
when am I not serious
Alex
when is a joke
I've been serious
sometimes
when is the joke
I watched the
the latest
HBO
Donald Trump interview
and don't worry
this isn't gonna be
want to, you know,
hyper-political
like a Brit
ranting about Donald Trump
or anything.
But what I wanted to say
was that it is insane.
Yeah, I've seen a clip from it.
It is bonkers.
It's like,
it feels like you're watching a TV show.
It even opens with like the HBO
like, oh, am I watching fucking
Sopranos or Game of Thrones right now?
And I'd definitely
recommend watching it.
It's only like 36 minutes.
It's on the HBO YouTube channel.
and it's honestly a piece of history
and the like production of it is really impressive to me
the way they
like just present the interviewer's like
they put more into it
than like the typical kind of interview
right and the interviewer did a really good job as well
he like didn't let any question kind of slide sort of thing
yeah
crazy world we live in dude
you guys can watch it
possibly depends
how long is it
yeah like 35 minutes or something
it's hard to say
I just don't want to know or hear
about Donald Trump personally
I just don't yeah I get that but
I just find it so fascinating
it is yeah
I'm sure if I started watching it
I wouldn't be able to stop
yeah yeah it's just so like
intense because he's just like
dodging every question and like he's got his
prepared statements and
facts and figures and stuff yeah man but aside from that um the other major fucking thing was
the this stuff going on with the explosion in lebanon yeah yeah not the happiest no something
pretty pretty severe and uh so yeah what what exactly happened the it was a fire firework cat
factory that called fire and by this firework factory was uh
I think it was a ship or something that contained
ammonium nitrate
and then the fire spur to that
and then that would obviously go fucking bang
like massive
because it's like a fertilis or something
I assume we've all seen the video
or like some of the videos
I tried to watch it but I couldn't
what do you mean?
I haven't seen it
oh I see
I've seen photos and stuff
but yeah
I was thinking about just
for events like this
we get such good coverage
of it now
because everyone's got
like cameras on them
you think this is just a fire
and there was like
I watched like this five minute
where it was five minutes
of just the explosion
from different phones in the city
and it's wild
that all of these people
all filming the fire
and then boom
it's actually crazy now
nothing can go unnoticed
but that explosion
like if you were
in London and you saw that
whatever
we're being newt or something
this is it
but I guess
an initial investigation
has reportedly found
years of inaction
and negligence around the removal
of the ammonium nitrate
is to blame for the blast
which is like oh my God
it's an extremely volatile substance
and they basically did nothing about it
yeah but like at the time of recording this
135 people it took
and injured
over 5,000
from our seeing that
I thought it only
took like 30 people
the river explosion that big way
it's caused a massive crater
yeah it's going to take a while
for them to be like confirm
yeah I saw this
this like
kind of sky cam
of what the area looked like before and after
and it's like just devastated from it
well
to put it this way it's like I saw the job
it was just it was on a boat
it was quite some dissonroy they got blown on the floor
and they were like a good like couple miles
yeah
it's just ridiculous how quickly people started to jump on
oh it's a terrorist attack or something
they don't understand
the traditional weapons would need to be involved
to cause an explosion that fucking huge
like it made a mushroom cloud because of
I think it's evaporation that usually cause its mushroom clouds
there's only like a few weapons
in the world that can court like can do that
all American
yeah I think I saw some stat
that it's like
the third or fourth
like biggest explosion
or something like
in history or whatever
this was like
you know caused by humans
you know
comparing it to like
normal
conventional
yeah
things like that
it's like up there
in terms of like
just the scale of it
it was a fucking
it's a fucking bang
it's crazy
I just can't get over this year
it's actually just such a
fucking pistate.
It's wild.
What is that with it?
Did you see this,
it's like the doorway to the,
to the underworld.
It was cooled.
It's like some place in the Middle East or something.
And this doorway to the underworld
has been getting bigger.
Oh yeah, it's like continent on fire.
It's like this part in the desert
that's constant fire because there's a gas,
there's a gas reserve under it or something.
So it constantly feeds it?
Yeah, it's some shit like that.
And...
Is this the Siberia doorway to the underworld you're talking about?
It's like, yeah, the doorway to hell or something.
Yeah, that might be it.
There's a door...
There's a doorway to the underworld in Siberia so big it's uncovered...
Wait, it's uncovered ancient forests.
What?
No, I don't think it's that.
It's in the Middle East.
It's a gateway to hell.
Yeah, I just try Googling it to see if I...
Yeah, it's the highway to hell.
Yeah.
The thing is, now that 2020 is like this,
the memes propagate, like, bad things happening.
So one just, something that would ordinarily be like a throwaway headline is like,
oh, here's the next thing.
What's it called?
The Gates of Hell.
Yeah, the Gates of Hell.
Let me see.
Where is it, James?
It's in Ethiopia, I believe.
But yeah, apparently, it's, uh.
Oh, the most significant crack appeared near to the Uttar Ale volcano known by locals as the Gateway to Hell.
Oh, it's in Turkmenistan.
Wow.
Yeah.
What's going to happen next?
Something horrifying?
Jesus will come back.
Imagine if that's like, that's what it ends.
Yeah.
Jesus is like, you know what?
You know I am.
No, it would be like...
Buddha or something.
You reckon.
What's up, guys?
Buddha here.
What if it turned out like, um,
Mark Zuckerberg was like...
Stop.
Jesus or something.
Mark Zuckerberg?
Yeah, that's like the reveal.
That would be sick.
Who do you think is most likely to be Jesus?
Like secretly Jesus.
Not secretly, like, they didn't know.
But they just are Jesus.
Reborn.
Who do you reckon, James?
Tom Kenny, the guy who voices Spongebob
Tomska?
Yeah, it's like a voice actor
Yeah, Troy Baker
This fucking Nolan North is
What on that?
I don't know
It's just
This year has been especially
chaotic
But we've got to think
Last year was as well
There was shit happening constantly then
Was it like this?
It was nothing like this dude
Nothing.
Well, stuff like Lebanon happens
every year or two.
Does it?
It's really...
Okay, not to the same scale, obviously, but...
That, on top of, um, COVID,
on top of what's happening in America,
on top of...
China.
Yeah, it's fucking everything, dude.
Yeah.
Russia.
Japan.
Let's quickly do some...
Let's very quickly do a Twitter speed round.
At Edward Temple 11 says,
guys please upload the, as they say is to Spotify, I know they're more visual, but I like listening to those.
I tend to, to be honest. Sometimes I don't when they're way more visual, where it just wouldn't
make sense, but... The Star Wars one, for example, like...
No, I have done an audio version of that. Um, so yeah, I'll do that. Um, what is your thoughts on
this one from at cool crazy crock who says, Vin Diesel's real name is Mark Sinclair, thought?
Sinclair is a cool name
I think that name suits him better
Yeah I think it's a cooler name
It's more relatable
And at Vertigo
HQ underscore says
Opinion on having to pay $30 to watch
The Moulan remake on Disney Plus
Is it justified
Runez? They ruined it
It's going to be crap first of all
And second of all 30
Yeah I don't know what it's going to cost a year
But why that much?
Because it bombed
I guess it's because
Whole families can watch it
So in their mind it's like
We'll just charge everyone as if a whole family's going
Right
Then that means
Yeah but you're also paying them
Money just all the time now
Yeah you're already paying there
So to watch it you have to be already paying money
And then you've got to pay some more money
It's it's pointless
It makes their own platform
Less valuable
if they just start releasing movies onto it
no release movies fine but don't charge extra
when Netflix is over here just putting shit out
all the time once you're in with Netflix you've got it
yeah but with Disney Plus it's like
you'd pay a little bit more here a little bit more there fuck you
do you don't think it's... I'm even less likely to subscribe to them now
do you not think it's because like obviously they didn't
want to put it on Disney Plus right away
obviously their ideal scenario was
yeah we'll put this in theatres and make a couple
billion bucks off it
but now we can't do that so we've got to make it up
this is bad damage control
because it's pissed me off
the biggest fan of Moulin
I'm the biggest fan of Moulin
really? Yes I fucking love Moulin
really a little Eddie Murphy dragon
yeah it's fucking great love it let's get down to
damn
Like Madagascar, yeah, it's all right.

Down on ear

Welcome
to the second half of the jarcast
Where we answer questions from
The subreddit
We're going to start with this one
From Rat Goth
Question for James
In the infamous normal episode
You discuss wanting to buy some ugg boots
Did this ever happen
And if so, thoughts
If not thoughts
I haven't borne your boots
It's been quarantine
I've been unable to
The normal episode was a long time before
Yeah true
I forgot I said it
Dick the head has a question
Related to James too
Who will win in a fight
Dwayne the Rock Johnson
versus James with a gun
However there's a twist
The gun needs to be assembled
And Dwayne is approaching fast
Oh, and the rock has Jamie on his side
That's a fucking stupid question
First of all
Yeah, let's take the gym
Jim doesn't need to be involved in this
I feel like that's enough of a challenge on its own
No, I could have Jim
No, I'm on Dwayne's side
No, but I can have you
You could have me, with the rock
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Do you think you could defeat the rock
Do you think you could assemble a gun
And take out the rock
Before he gets to do you?
No, fuck no, no, no human can
No, but how far does he have to run?
Let's say he's one mile
way.
Oh, easy.
Do you think so?
I could do that with no eyes.
Okay.
Assemble a gun while he's sprinting full speed.
Yeah, with no eyes.
I could do that.
I don't know what the rocks, you know, top kind of speed is.
I don't, what gun?
That's too technical word.
Pistol.
Pistol is a lot, I would say, it's more complicated to assemble than an AR-15.
Because the L-15s, they're just, don't know what they're parts.
So the receiver's already there.
You just have to click all parts together.
have a pistol you've got to do the whole
bear in mind there
you've never assembled a gun have you exactly
I probably could if I've watched the
but if a spitz and that's guy
can assemble
assemble a gun and kill someone in like
five seconds I could probably do it in
the box sprinting a mile
yeah a mile's quite far
if he was down the other end of the street
no I just throw the parts at him because what else can I do
I feel like
we could all run faster than
the rock no
I don't know man
He's in like
Peat condition that
No but he's got weight
He's got so much weight
And do you think so
Aerodynamics
He can't move first
Yeah
He can barely move full stop
Why do you think all his action scenes
And movies are fucking trash
Chance
Chance would be a fine thing
If this was
If we replaced that with a better actor
Jason Statham
You're fucked
Because he's
Yeah he's much quicker
He's swifter
Yeah
You'd be fucked
Tom Cruise
You'd be fucked
He's like 60
He chumped off a building
Broke's leg
Continued to fucking roll on the film
He's an animal
He'd fuck you
He'd fuck all of us up
He'd fuck all of us
Yeah and I'd be okay with that
Well
The gear gets the grease or whatever
Shut up
Movies music me
Says hi Jha
A few hours ago I hit a kangaroo
on my way to work.
No.
You may have guessed I'm in Australia, and you'd be correct.
Well, I would be a bit concerned if they hit a kangaroo in England.
Yeah.
It broke my right headlight, and now my door is hard to open
because the front side bit, I don't know what the fuck it's called,
asked James, has been forced over more from the impact.
It was a big kangaroo.
And I'm thinking I'm going to have to either get a new car
or pay for a panel beating, which will kill me.
My question now is how do you guys deal with that feeling of dread
when you know you have to pay for something
that's going to set you back a fair bit
personally I was saving money really well up until now
and I'm just pissed off currently
thanks for the last they're very much appreciated
especially lately
huge love for y'all no
is the kangaroo okay
what speed were you hitting it at
did it go pop? None of that
was to do with the question
no but I kind of care about the kangaroo here
why
because it's an animal
I care about animals
The question was about, um, like, surprise things that suck your wallet dry and how you deal with that dread.
Um, just do it.
This is why I have a rainy day account, just in case of emergencies.
Fool.
Because I, I have the very real problem where I'm really super, I don't know the word is, organized with savings.
So I
Once money's in a savings account
It doesn't come out no matter what
It can't
Very strict about it
Yeah
Because I've got and then gone
I need to hit the you know
The quota forward
So the question is kind of like
In a situation where
You were effectively forced
To spend all that money
How do you do it
And have you ever had to really do that
Do it
I've had to do it
Well yeah it basically
comes down to an ultimate choice it's like my car's fucked or whatever i either get it repaired or i
don't and i somehow deal with that in those situations that's what i mean though like when you have to
spend a big bunch of money you just have to get out of the way yeah no you do otherwise you're
going to just constantly be like keep putting it off once you're in that new state where the amount of
money you have is just what you have then it's just back like that's the new default no one thing you've got to
realises, this is specifically of a car, a car's an asset, it's something you own, you can sell
on, suspending a large amount of money to get a new car because yours is damaged, you shouldn't
see that as bad because it's not becoming a liability, it's an asset, it's something you own.
I have to do the same. Unless you hit a kangaroo again. Unless you do that. Like, I, I blew up
my engine, I had to buy a new car. I didn't feel bad about it because that car's an asset. I
needed it to get to A to B.
So,
but I know it still sucks though if you like
Yeah.
Hit a kangaroo and it wrecks your car.
Oh yeah, God yeah.
It just fucks everything, you know?
But it's a slight.
All of your saving and
know that it's an asset and know that
the sooner you do it and you forget about it,
the better.
Mm-hmm.
Preach, sister.
We have an interesting one from Joseph Zed Khan
who, uh, has some grease to throw on the gear
or the cog, whatever.
Okay, listen to here.
Alex, you got some answering to do.
You stated that the penguins aren't dibbys because they impact the plot too much,
meaning a dibby by definition has to be inconsequential to the plot at large,
yet Mort saves the day by leading the shark into the volcano and saving Melman from dying a cuck.
If he truly is a dibby, why is this the case?
And that's not all.
The characters like King Julian encounters dibbys who aren't creatures but are designed with the kiddies in mind.
Does a dibby have to be a creature?
What is the actual concrete definition of a dibby once and for all?
First of all, the shark doesn't save, well, Mort doesn't save the giraffe.
Why is that?
Because it turns out the sacrifice is pointless, right?
Yeah, but they wouldn't have known that.
Yeah, doesn't the shark, they're like pressuring Melman to die and commit suicide.
But then the shark does it.
Instead, so Melman doesn't have to.
No, the shark does it after.
Yeah.
Because he gets saved by Gloria, right?
Like, she grabs his neck.
Dude, I don't know.
I don't know, right?
But I do know that if I said that penguins aren't dibbies, I was wrong then.
No, they're not dibbies.
That's just, they are dbys.
They're not.
No, they fucking are.
No, I think one of them is a dibby.
No, listen, this is how deep I've gone with a dibby thing, right?
Um, a while ago, someone emailed me saying,
what the fuck is a dibby?
because they were writing their EPQ
on on the on dbys for some reason
what's an EPQ
it's like you choose it's like a thesis
you choose like a question and you explore it
whatever so they they did their thesis on what is a dibby
and then they ask you what one is they got you to write
their thesis it was like part of it
it wasn't the whole thing wasn't about it but
effectively it forced me to try and write down
and describe what I think it is
so I need you guys to assess
what I've written here. So I've got the email I sent them. So this is kind of me
bullet pointing, replying to their questions. So a dibby or dibbies is almost a gut
feeling. But at the same time, there are some very obvious examples of what I'm trying to
describe. Minions, BB8, the aliens from Toy Story, Olaf from Frozen, comic relief or
plot device are too broad for what I'm talking about, because a dibby can be one, both,
neither, which leads me to believe that there are a couple of criteria that define dibbys.
A key aspect of a dibby is the smallness, is the smallness, and, or cuteness.
It needs to be broad enough to be widely marketable, e.g. most dibby characters will have
an extremely popular pop vinyl figure, or large fandom based around it specifically, Baby Yoda,
Pikachu, etc. The purpose of dibbies in movies is to use their cuteness, appeal, and or comedy
to manipulate audiences into liking a product or idea,
often with the intended goal of the dibby becoming a worldwide marketing prodigy.
Dibbies have a range of impact on the stories they take place in,
hence the difficulty narrowing down a concise definition.
On one hand, you could point to a movie like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,
whether Dibby is a crucial McGuffin who drives the story.
On the other hand, the Porgs from Star Wars were created to cover up the puffins
that filled the location they were shooting,
as well as being heavily marketable.
The term dibby does not necessarily relate to their function in a screenplay.
I think dibbies are mostly an afterthought or unfortunate reality of designing entertainment for children.
While not specific to children's content, the vast majority of dibby implementation is at the hands,
of desperate adults trying to create characters that kids want on a lunchbox.
The fact these types of characters are so rarely talked about goes to show their importance on stories,
which to me helps highlight the cynic.
side of filmmaking.
Dibbies are present in a surprising amount of high-reaching places.
I haven't done the research to discover the original Dibby.
However, studios such as Disney or Dreamworks have been using these cute characters
for jokes, merchandise and iconography for years.
They're not exclusive to low-budget animation.
I'm sure plenty of marketing from all sources have Dibbies brandished all over them.
There are definitely Dibbies that I like, but it is rare that a Dibby will be anything more than just that.
The dibby. I think as a concept they're specifically designed to be as inoffensive as possible.
Although it was with many storytelling devices, they can be implemented with class, i.e. Wally, or as plain and obvious as a minion.
I have no idea where the term came from. It just feels right.
Okay. Um, think of an adult, think of a really mature, something not for kids show.
Name me a dibby from it.
Um, so it has to be edgy.
No, it just has to be an adult show, like Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad, Dibby.
What do you think?
Um, no.
It just doesn't make sense.
So you're saying, so what we're saying is, as I said, it usually tends to be in children's entertainment or, you know, where there are silly character designs and it's going for a certain audience.
Dark Souls has Dibby's in?
Does it?
No.
What do you think, Jim?
Do you agree with my write-up there?
yes and no
oh jesus where's your problem
um call of duty has dibby's in
because you're picking the most like
i think a crucial part of
what dibbies are is that
dibs aren't really known
because they're not real i just made it up
yeah this is all made up
yeah like exactly
so i think it's kind of dishonest for you to treat them
as some sort of thesis
Destiny's massively edgy
And that's got a dibby in
Um
It's not edgy in the same way
Breaking Bad or Cod is though
It's still like it's no different to
It's no different to bloody cod
It is
Okay
The campaign
Isn't it like T for teen
It doesn't have like children
Being murdered
I'm pretty sure
And terrorists the Turks
Dibby's being murdered
So do you generally agree Jim
Sure
Yeah
What is the word for it
Other than Dibby
Like what is the word for it other than Dibby?
Like what is the word?
word for it. Minion?
Yeah, minion.
Minion!
Minion!
On the same line,
Fetal Freak says,
imagine you're in a scenario
where you're being hunted and picked off
one by one,
like in alien or a slasher film,
but it's by a dibby.
What dibby would be the most lethal
from fiction or non-fiction,
and what's your reasoning?
The ghost from that.
From fiction or non-fiction?
Yeah, what non-fiction
dibbies are there?
Argi.
They're right.
You know, Argy is a dibby.
So Argy is hunting us.
Yeah, but Argy doesn't live in a kid's world.
He lives in an adult house.
How can he be a dibby?
He lives in real life.
The question is just you're being hunted by a fucking dibby.
What would be the worst?
I really feel like the penguins would be horrifying.
Yeah, yeah, they would absolutely destroy you.
Like, in the Madagascar universe, sure, they're cool, their epic, their action heroes in a
They're kind of the main guys
They're capable
They're capable
But think about it
If you are their enemy
Think about it
They literally have war machines
They invent war machines
They use slave labor to get it built
They have flick knives
That they whip out
Whenever they're threatened
They run old ladies over
They're actually kind of
So what you're saying is
They're the Italian mafia
Um sort of
They're worse
Except much more dangerous.
Much more dangerous.
I wouldn't be scared of any dibby.
Yes, you would, James.
Because they're dibbies, they're tiny, you can just kick them.
You'd be scared of the dibby from Transformers.
No, I fucking destroy that, dibby.
He wouldn't.
Yes, because I...
James is not going to engage with the question, Jim.
No, no, I am engaging with the question.
Yeah, we might as well just move on.
Chance is a fine thing.
No, like,
dibies inherently aren't scary.
That's what it makes this question funny.
This question is really good because the penguins is such a great answer.
So you disagree with me, Jim?
Mort would be better than the penguins.
Why?
No, because Mort is never shown to be capable in any way.
That's why they're horrifying.
It's the ones you don't expect, which are more scary.
I do feel like Mort is capable of...
No.
No, I do.
No, I don't.
Jim, he's voiced by Andy Richter.
Alright
Fuck
Oh
Stage DK says
Was James a contrarian in school as well
Yes
Explain
Well you know how contrarian is
Well let's get this straight
I didn't exist till 21
So whatever I did back then
Isn't you can't criticize me for now
Why have you started saying this?
Because I
You mean you're
You just don't want to acknowledge anything
No no
It's just like I was not the same
As a person
I did not exist back then
Right
Like I'm completely different now
Yeah as most people are right
No because there's there's
There's progress but I'm different
Just out of the box
Doesn't I don't exist
I don't exist prior to 2000
I feel like most people have an age where it's like
I'm just gonna ignore like that bit
It's not I'm not ignoring it
Ooh
Okay
But I didn't I
Nobody knew my opinion because I was bully too much
I didn't have any friends
You had us
Yeah, I know, that's it, but you know
Wow, that's it
Yeah, that's all you...
Wow, you did have it rough
If we're all you had
Jesus
Yeah, I know, I did have it rough
Sal says question
When was the last time
You chumps updated the channel bio
It features a bunch of rusty
Ancient jar memes
Like Ruben being Christian
And Jamie loving Guardians of the Galaxy
Pretty XD though
No, it's actually
Do you need to get out of it
Make it blank?
You don't need it
I've changed it
when did you change it today when i was collecting me questions so people can check that out
and see what's up oh it's just gonna be that how james created piss a day i didn't even think of that
that's not a bad idea oh shit write that down write that shit down we actually seen my
twitter background and you surely would of because you only followed me today would have why
why you're so upset about this uh man man bourgerman twitter you followed me today i thought i didn't follow
anyone and then I was like, you know what, I'm going to use this to just to follow people I know and Lego.
Did you follow me?
Yeah, I followed everyone in Char and like Brickset.
I couldn't find you.
Really?
No, it is hidden.
But you've only followed me now.
Only me now.
That's not true.
I follow everyone in Char.
Not all today.
It wasn't today.
It was today.
It wasn't.
Did you just get the notification or something?
No, I've been following you on that account for days now.
No.
This is betrayal.
I don't believe this shit.
Spooky one says
Thoughts on the upcoming Sekiro
Update
My thoughts on Warzone season 5?
No, no
I think it looks really cool
You can't talk about Sekaro and not talk about
Warzone
God has had so much real estate
In the podcast
It's free real estate
No because I was saying to Jim
Like why does Sekiro not have any
DLC when every other phone game
Has had some kind of significant
release? Yeah, at least one
Yeah
And it's not the same
is a big like dlc drop but it makes me it makes me think that that i still have hoped now
yeah that they they might do something because god damn but yeah they it looks fun and
sounds cool and like it adds some replay value but they probably yeah you can like do bosses
again and a bit earlier yeah maco tony jima 11 says to my utter dismay nobody nobody
on this Reddit seem to ask what the meaning
behind Pit Pop Poe truly is.
So, what's the backstory and meaning
behind the famous jar media phrase?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
What?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
No.
It's just a reference.
No, no, no, no.
Jim, listen.
It's just a reference to the wheel
gets the fucking grease, all right?
Listen.
No, chance is a fine thing.
No, genuinely.
It's a fine thing.
Listen, let me.
Shut up.
Everybody be quiet now, and listen to me.
me now.
Thank you.
Jesus, I hate
raising my voice.
You guys know this about me.
So I actually...
No, I had to go down and break
down the entirety,
the entire history, pit pop boy,
I wrote it down.
You're making this more complicated.
It's so fucking dumb.
You're making this more complicated.
No, I'm not, no, James, you don't understand.
It's a reference to the pit boy from Fallout.
No, it's not. That is wrong.
What it actually is, is it all starts with...
It all stems
From Halo 3?
No, it doesn't.
No, no, listen, listen to my fucking story.
Halo 3, Jim, the town of Voie.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, East of Voie.
East of Voie.
East of Voie, right?
So the word voy has always been, it's a real place,
but the way it's used in Halo 3 was always a line that stood out to us,
so the voie thing has always been there in the back of my mind.
Yes.
Never had a use for it, though.
We're on Savo Highway about.
Eastervoi
Yeah exactly
It's such a memorable line
And delivery
It's just so strange
Voie
Voie is one of my family's name
Oh right
Yeah so I know that as well
When I first got
My Golden Retriever Paisley
Um
For some reason
I would like to go to her
Oh boy boy
Boy boy
Remember that
In that weird voice and shit
It'd be like
Oh boy boy boy
You know
Oh boy
boy it just it just felt right you know it just seemed seem right so yeah it went to
there I had the boy boy thing it was starting to adapt and then um because I like the
rhyming shit I decided that Argi is a guardian toy right because he's a guardian like
he's a little guard dog that sits there and watches and bars and he's a little bitch and
he's like he's like a soft toy right so then I came up with the rhyme
pit-pot boy on the Guardian toy
right
and then it turned into pit-pop-poil
on the maritime voy
and then it became
pit-pot-poil on the Ipswich voy
how how maritime how does that work
and then it became premium boy
and that's where it is at the moment
a premium voy
is actually a good description words
you think if a cool like gold skin
comes out on card it's like it's a premium
boy
yeah
what do you think of premium voyage
Jim.
Pit-pop pot and the premium toy.
What's your opinion on it?
I like Voie.
You actually like Voie?
Holy fuck.
It's a word.
If someone just, you know...
Well, because I feel like I did briefly mention the Voie thing.
Where I was like, yeah, I just started saying voy just to address the dogs.
Because I was so used to having Just Argy, who I'd say, oh, good boy.
But Paisley is a girl.
So I was like, fuck it
Yeah, so you can't
You have to say a good void
Yeah, so I was like
You know what, let's just simplify this
Let's just break this down
But then you can call them both voys
Yeah, exactly
So now Argy's a voy
But he's not a premium boy
No, he's a premium toy
No, he's a guardian toy
No, but he is a premium toy as well
If he's a guardian toy
He's a premium guardian toy
Yeah, but who's the Maritime
Maritime boy
No, that's Pays
How though?
How does Maritime
And Argy's an Ipswich
Right? He's an Ipswich boy.
How, how? Explain.
I gotta leave some mystery in it.
Do you know what?
I like the fact that my dog's called Gaius.
And he's just called Gaius?
That's it. There's no like, there's no little...
So you never do that thing where you like just, uh, say random shit to your dog?
No, because he'll just, it'll just get angry at me and leave.
Because he, he's his own being, he's not a toy for people to play with as they like.
Okay, dude.
Okay.
Can we all do, can we, can we,
Just quick, like, extra round for our viewers.
Suck my Willie, yo-yo, in the house.
Damn.
Someone could take that and just really turn it into something good.
Can we all do our, um, Sylvester Stallone impressions?
Um...
Good to the job.
You fucking asshole.
Okay, you can do that question now.
Right.
Let's kind of conclude with this one, then.
From a food lighter.
Alex, read this for,
During each of the remaining questions and discussions in the cast, you must bring up the phrase casually so it fits into the conversation naturally.
You must utter the phrase, I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Not sure what type of grease, mind you.
No matter what the discussion is, find a way to make it work.
See how long you can say this before they notice.
And then let's meet and fight reply to that saying, also say chance would be a fine thing.
Thanks for watching this episode of the Jarcast and for supporting us.
We'll see you on the next episode.
