Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
My name is Alex and I'm here, and I'm queer, and I'm introducing us to the JARMedia podcast.
You missed out then.
You old saying back in like four or five years ago was I'm here, I'm queer, get used to it.
And you're almost there.
I don't think I invented that, but I will take credit for it.
Um, I'm your host, Alex. Um, to my writer's Jim.
Your boy, J.B.
Your boy, J.B. And you've already heard James over there.
Yeah. Just chill on.
Chill on with the villains as he does. Um, the show is, uh, made possible thanks to Patreon.
Patreon.com slash Jarm Media.
Thanks for everyone who supported us there. And new people will join us every day for the show.
The grown family.
So we got some stuff this week to talk about.
There's been quite good things.
Anything happened?
No.
Finish Reds there.
Obsidian have been saved.
Woo!
Saved.
They've been thrown onto the Microsoft.
No.
Sinking shit.
As you don't know, James loves Fall Out New Vegas developed by a Obsidian who've been purchased
by Microsoft.
We'll see their new thing in four or five years probably.
Microsoft Studios at the moment, they're quite good.
The main ones they have.
potentially for the future yeah so now that adding a lot more companies in you know
Microsoft is going to have some really good exclusives in the foreseeable future for the next console
maybe yeah too little too late me and jim did a video on red dead on jar media um have we actually
talked about red dead no we purposefully didn't yeah talk about red dead and we won't say anything
spoilerific if we do mention it so don't worry about that um i don't know if you wanted to say anything
about it you've played what 11 hours or so i've played a while of it done the first
like chapter got actual into the actual proper games and that's quite a long um like starting
like yeah Alex you were starting it again I started it again yeah like two days ago or yesterday
I can't remember um and the intro seemed way shorter than I remember it's one of those things
where the first time you're doing it you're so unused to like how yeah yeah yeah first you haven't
played a red day you take it slower and it feels longer you know because you don't know what's
coming whereas it's put it you
You could probably do it in an hour,
which I suppose for some games is a long time.
It's quite long, yeah.
I haven't played the most.
I haven't got into the good, like, juicy story bits yet.
I'm still getting there.
I was turned off by the old, like, camp stuff management,
which it doesn't really exist.
They just kind of explain it quite badly for me.
But when I've done, like, the shooting stuff,
when you're in a big fight, it is very, it plays well and it is fun.
I just haven't given it enough time, and I should.
Yeah, you do it.
eventually come in
didn't you look up the story
the ending I saw the ending
but nothing in between like you you said
a lot about it like the group chat but I have not
actually seen anything about it won't mean anything
without any context anyway I like
I know the very the very basic part
of it but I don't think even knowing that
it's not like the impact
of the stories like losing it
it's still going to be impactful even if I
play the first Red Dead knowing what happens
to the main character yeah even I did
yeah I didn't actually
anyway if you want more in depth Red Dead
go into our jar media video
we went longer probably than the
jarcast will go. Wasn't it like an hour and a half
I think? Yeah, hour and 20 minutes. We just kept going and
going because it's a good game.
It's a really awesome game. My game in year.
When is online coming up? Surely it's like
two weeks ago? Um, it's rumored
that it's the 28th of
November. 28th?
Shit, there's some of my car insurance ones out.
Um, so I had a guy show up to my
house this week. Oh yeah?
I remember you talking about this. Um,
who was like hi I'm from the TV license company
I'd like to
no what did he say he said
have we got a TV license
actually just before we get into
some Americans of course yes in the UK you have to own a TV license
if you own a TV not if you own a TV
but if you watch like if you have a yeah
like if you watch BBC because they don't have
Broadcasting
Centre or some shit
They're paid for by
Yeah so like
Blue Planet Doctor Who
Shows like that
They're all on BBC
And the biggest appeal of the BBC
Is that there's got no ads on it
So
But you actually have to pay money
But yeah
Which is the TV list
Yeah there's a licence
So there's a yearly fee
You're supposed to pay
If you have your TV plugged in
With one of those
Aerial cables
Like a Skybox
FreeVic box
Yeah exactly
Which I do not have
Yeah
so that idea in and of itself though is actually quite ahead of its time
it's basically Netflix like the same idea
of getting TV no ads but you just straight up pay
yeah yeah like a forced um
subscription almost and it's not like cheap either
every year it can it's over 100 quit or something it's like 147 or something
something like that but the point was I don't I don't watch any live TV
or I play or anything like that
so I don't have to pay it
isn't it you don't have to you just don't
or do you have to
online you've got to go and put in like a form
and say why you don't and if you don't or whatever
but then randomly
some guy from the government
like I'm an outlaw on the run
comes knocking to my
yeah the Pinkettons come knocking on my door
and say
you got some money for me boy
yeah and they ask
do you mind if I come in and check to make sure
you're not actually watching
and of course
me being
anti-confrontation
knowing that legally I could say
well actually
you don't actually have the right to come into my house
but then makes you look ten times more suspicious
then you get like then you get put into some book
because of course my granddad
yeah he's out there in Wales
was just without he actually didn't have a TV and he had one of these people show up to his house
and he was like no you're not coming in need a warrant to come into my house of course being all like
aggro about it and then it became this whole odyssey well he ended up calling the police on this
person that kept coming to his house because he said like I don't want you on my property but the
guy kept coming back in like a van trying to like scan for signals of a TV or some shit it's like a game
it's like pulling out your fucking phone to look out yeah it's like well it's good
to know that money's being with it's a good use then
targeting one
old man who actually doesn't have a TV
and he's just you know
that's that's what pissed me off about it
like
he said he doesn't have a TV
where's your proof that he has
a TV like why do you keep
coming back? There's got to be
some sort of system that's
smarter
oh well but I let him in and then he comes
into my living room
and of course first thing he sees
is the YouTube plaque.
He was like, oh, is that one of them YouTube plaques?
How many subs is that for?
I was like, oh, here we go.
I said it's for a million.
And he was like, oh, wow.
And then, like, you just didn't care after that.
And when I gave my spiel of why I don't have a TV license,
he was like, yeah, yeah, whatever.
Yeah, I don't have one either.
And then just left.
He's being paid to do a job where he does,
he himself doesn't even agree with it.
Oh, fair play
He probably had a no white day because of that
Just on a decent conversation
Something interesting, I suppose
What if it was actually a secret IHE fan
And, uh, didn't work for the BBC
It's just, it just come in
I would, that is my worst nightmare
Mm-hmm
The, some guy who is in my house
Suddenly like recognises me
You know, the, the worst thing I ever heard about
Was like a group of YouTubers that lived in the same house
Like some 14 year old
boy turned up was driven there by his like mum oh really and he he was like hi can i have a
sleepover at yours really and they're like 25 year olds mm-hmm they're like no and of course
they're probably like they're done a down player they don't want to be rude yeah because
the kid's mum is right like in the car that's what makes it weird yeah why would a mother allow
that i don't know if the kid was there you go
go stay with some 20 year olds
maybe the kids said that they were
even so just random
kids
whatever
I've talked to plenty of
YouTubers who
when they're more forward facing
and all their videos
have like their house in
and they show their faces a lot
plenty of them have had
young kids just show up to the house
or
or slightly older people
who shouldn't be
who should know better
and they have
act as if they
like know you and that they have a right to
sort of
it's a bit it's a it's a bit much
like it's different if you're out in the
supermarket and someone says hey is that
and then and they friendly politely
approach you and say hello to you
that's different to knocking on your door
that's being like that level of invasion
of privacy
what a lot of people don't
what a lot of like overbearing
fans like that don't realize
is that um
the fan has pretty much seen everything you do yeah so one side of
conversation so but the content creator never knows this person even
exists even if they are commenting on every video that's whenever that's why
whenever I've interacted with them anyone who's recognized us I'm always
asking about them and how they found the video and what they do and stuff because
they already know yeah exactly the basics of about me
if they don't know me enough to recognize me
so I was in the supermarket the other day
just chilling
just looking around for some food
some nice yummies
and I had this like revelation
moment
where it's like you know you always like to think you're a bit unique
right yes
you always like to think you have something
you have something going on that other people don't right
yeah I'm wandering over to the meat substitute
aisle as one does.
As one
early 20-something
does.
And of course
there's someone
already standing there.
And as I'm walking towards, I'm like
just activate Analyze mode.
Analyze.
And see, like, I start at the bottom.
Okay, he's wearing converse.
Go up slightly. Black skinny jeans.
Go up slightly.
Like, the fucking jacket
and all.
I was with you.
in the shop
and it's a good thing
I didn't just get in his car
and go home with him
because it was like
not only
which one's the real you
yeah
when you got to the top
he was like
say I was the
Charmelian
he was the Charazard
in terms of like
the stereotype that I fit into
because he had the like
long ragly hair
yeah and circle glasses
and one of those
hipster hats on as well
so it was a bit of a
well there you go
there's my
that's my box
that I fit in then
and not only us in that
but also in the meat substitute are
yeah
and the other stereotype is for
that kind of person is that they
almost look malnourished
you know they're so skinny
their legs are so skinny
yeah in their skinny jeans
so it shows it even more
probably because they're not getting the nutrients
they need or because they don't have the belmont
jeans. Yeah.
Like, I'm saying a gym.
The beltman's, we're chunky.
Yeah, we're thick.
We're, we're chunky boys.
And then there's like me, but my jeans aren't
like skinny. I've got quite
bigger jeans and it's just like...
You do have bigger jeans than me.
I know, fucking long.
Wow, real, real fucking great
joke. Sorry. But did you notice
that guy's girlfriend?
Was she also cut from the same
cloth? She was exactly the same.
That's what rocked my world
So he's not only Charazard
But he's a shiny Charazard
Yeah
With ultimate epic game of girlfriend
Who probably loves MacDemarco as well
How can you
Find someone so perfect for you?
Like
I mean props to him man
Yeah
But then what
They might have known each other for a while
And they might have both gradually
merged into becoming
One probably was influenced by the other
Most definitely either way
So if that's
that's obviously my stereotype like one step away from being vegan um yeah like
fucking annoying like on the streets shouting anti-trump slogans well i'm not i'm not like that at
all no you're in the same bracket as in just purely on um there are the circles that
overlap yeah the three and just in terms of fashion and pop culture stuff um not politics
um and that kind of stuff yeah yeah um so where do you guys to be honest i can't even think
we had nowhere to start of jim i do i don't i don't think it that it actually exists jim seems
like a counterculture just well james is more counterculture than i am james is
Trevor phillips proto hipster yeah what where you where you think no where you look at people
like me and you think wow they fit into a fucking box
fuck them I'm just gonna do what I want and by doing that
okay you just sum me up him on Sunday
yeah exactly yeah
but not as edgy
there's no way to not be put into a box
somehow because like unless you like nothing
but then if you don't like anything then you're in that box
of not liking it yeah that's the thing like
but being in a box isn't inherently bad
no not at all that's that's of like a
I can't think of the word
but mindset
something that people think is bad
but it's not yeah
because people like everyone wants to be unique
yeah but it's actually great to be able to connect
with someone over something
I remember
someone like minded
these two people I used to work with at work
obviously at work
not my previous job but the one
before that
like this new guy started
and immediately it was just like
I like this so do I like this so do I
And that's a great feeling.
And that's because we both fit into the same box.
Yeah, exactly.
But my box is definitely Mima Gamer.
Mima Gamer.
No, Jim does fit in the Mima Gamer box quite well.
The Fortnite fan.
But you're lucky you don't have the stereotypical gamer look,
because the stereotypical gamer look is...
It's James.
It's not James.
I'd say it's, you know, slightly overweight.
maybe a bit pudgy
not the best personal
hygiene yeah
yeah bad sense of humor
that's not a look though is it
yeah true and no it does affect your look
because you'll probably be wearing a stewie from family guy
t-shirt or have a mug that says I stole your sweetwell on it
you have a Brian badge
I'm the next level
where it's like the
ironic
mocking of everything
thing that's popular with a certain crowd
where you're like so above everyone
because your sense of humour is so ultimate
so ultimate
so if you feel in that what's the characters of being
Trevor what is my box
well the thing is you
you have a harder time
liking something that is
considered good by everyone
yeah
for you it's a put-off when something is really
popular you like being the first one in
Yeah, you do.
Yeah, Foursa Horizon series gets popular, dumps it.
Although you did pick that back up.
You have like a really random...
That one specifically, I burn myself out for years.
Yeah, I can...
I can understand that, but then again,
Fours of Five, how much did you play that?
Too much.
You've got like an ultra-specific car.
Yeah.
That doesn't fit into the normal, like, Yobo thing.
Mm-hmm.
You're modding like a really random car.
Okay, do you want to know why
It's that kind of every car
Why?
Because nobody else does that to that car
Yeah, exactly
That is a fucking hoaxed.
Yeah, I do understand that logic though
With a car specifically
Yeah, I wouldn't want to be brandished as
You want to make it your vehicle, you know?
Yeah, so you want to make it your vehicle, you know?
Yeah, so you want to make it, you know
That Ford and then
Mod it the same way everyone else has done it
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that's in terms of car
Especially when that's the whole, like, appeal of, like, the car culting culture modding.
Yeah, so when you go to a car meet, it's not all just the same thing.
Exactly.
That's why I don't go to car meets, because most of the time, it's the same thing.
That's the problem I have with car thing, so I don't get involved in any car stuff because it's the same.
Yeah.
It's just repetitive.
But besides that, what else is there?
Like, looks, I don't think there's a look to being me in my body.
There's a look to being irreverent, though.
You literally wear the same beige.
shorts that are so broken that you hold them together with clips.
Cable ties.
That seems like laziness more than anything.
Exactly.
It was irreverence.
Those are good shorts and I wear them when working on my car.
I broke them while working on my car.
You also wear them on the cast regularly.
Yeah.
That's because that's like after I've worked on my car.
And it's like, I've just broke my shorts while working on my car.
Cable ties are there.
It's just like keep them up.
Cable tie.
I feel like...
I've done that of two shorts now actually.
I feel like one of the biggest indicators of this way of
organizing people like various animals
is um is hair
hair all four of us including Rubin
who's not here at the moment
treat the way we deal with our hair differently
so Rubin very regularly goes to the hairdresser
yeah and it's like he needs to be trim and proper
that's like his thing yeah yeah um
whereas James it's pure obligation
right
I don't even pay for it
it's just like if I can do it
I'm sort of similar with that
and Jim you just ignore it
yeah
but does that suit our boxes
I think so
what's Ruben's box then
yeah of all box
what is Rubin's kind of got a bit of everything in there
he's got a bit of the
he's obviously loves he's a gamer
he's absolutely
a mima. He's in the gameer, he's got the fashion bit from the hipster thing. Ruben's is the same as Jim's in that way. It's the circles, but Ruben has a different circle to, of those three that Jim doesn't have. And I'd say that's like the gym kind of healthy, kind of active, laddish kind of circle, I guess.
Well, Jim's in the healthy ladish. No, so Ruben is. He's, Jim has like the game. Why is the word healthy in there? Why is the word healthy in there?
I'm using it's a way to describe, like, lads, they go to the gym, they work out that type of stuff.
Healthy's just a word I stuck in there, because I'm shit-described.
Okay, right.
Because when I think lad, I think, piss up.
Ruben out of all of us is the most ladish.
I think that's probably fair to say.
He goes out drinking a lot more than us.
Mm-hmm.
He does all that type of stuff.
So he's like, that's his circle that Jim doesn't have.
What you're saying is that he's more social than us.
He's more, yeah, which basically.
Definitely is true.
Yeah.
Because Reuben's not here to defend himself, I'm actually going to back him up a little bit.
This isn't making fun of him.
No.
No, but he would not like being called a lad.
No, he would be really angry at me if I called him a lad.
No, but we didn't say he's like, he's just in that.
We're saying he's got a bit of everything.
Yeah.
I think he's kind of slightly in Jim's box, slightly in another one that's a completely different box.
The thing is, like, Alex and I share boxes.
but it doesn't
In that way it shouldn't be about sharing boxes
It's just having the circles that overlap
Yes I mean sharing circles
Do you find you sad that
There are people out there
Who purposefully will not engage in things
That they like purely because they think
It puts them in a box
Yeah
I mean music or movies or
Yeah no that that is sad
I find the music one the saddest
Because like you can listen to something poppy
and like
like it
but you're like
you force yourself
to not listen to it
or not like it
because you know it's pop
and you don't want to be judged
yeah
there's a lot of that
especially in like music
music especially
because it's so personal
and that's the thing of music
I don't like
I completely don't care
at all that
I'll just listen to the worst shit
like I have playlists
of just like
game pop in my car
that I just blast
but that suits
that suits your box
Yeah, it does.
But, no, I vaguely remember,
especially when I was younger, 17, 18.
Yeah.
Being really self-conscious about the music I listen to more than anything.
Yeah.
I can't remember if I did mention it in another cast recently.
I'm pretty sure you've mentioned it.
But it was really brief, and I think right at the end,
so I didn't properly get to go into it.
But it was somewhere around the peak where Dubstep was really popular.
I remember that.
And I remember sat, like, doing it.
some design technology work or something
and
listening to whatever
I think it was Bangorang by Scrillx
which like I've got a complicated
relationship with that song
because
we watched the music video the other day
yeah we did
I don't like the song but
oddly I sort of do a bit
I like elements of it I like little bits of it
and at the time
it was like this internal
conflict, this battle within me where it's like, okay, first off, step one, put phone other way
round, so if it comes, if I get like a notification, no one can see. I do that now.
But so people can't see what song I'm listening to. Yeah, I mean, I'll do the same if my
headphones are written. Yeah. And I put my phone down. It will be face down. Yeah. Just from a habit
from when I was that age. And also, I also did that as a habit because I would listen to a lot of
lame shit like um a lot of like soundtracks from like video games and movies and stuff like that
stuff that's stereotypically considered lame um now of course i wouldn't care at all i don't
i don't give a shit if you see what i'm listening to i don't hide what you know people like when
they're like oh i gotta show you this song i'm gonna put my spotify onto to private browsing now so
you can't so no one can see that i'm listening to it for me i don't give a shit no i i if you see
that i'm listening to the sonic
soundtrack, whatever.
Not that I would.
That's one I would never listen to.
But yeah.
But I found, like, in school, you can...
It's literally, like, walking through a box factory.
Like, you can see all people's boxes.
Yeah, it's like the production line of people being put into their boxes.
Oh.
But it's also, like, also, it's like a battleground in the middle of a factory.
so as your box is being assembled there's one injunction with you that's got like those big judging eyes that are watching it so they'll take they'll use any weakness they can find in you to try and put you down anything that makes you stand out so if it's like you're listening to some weird dorky song and they see it oh that's it they'll just go in and be like you're listening to that wow on this subject list some weird dorky song and they see it ohf that's it they'll just go in and be like you're listening to that wow on this subject list some
talk about bullies for a little bit
no I was purposely trying to not talk about
bullies actually you pretty
much brought it up but
you made them boxes instead
okay
Jarre hates bullies
we have an announcement to make
there's a bully in all of us though like there's still
bullies on this sofa right now
yeah
I mean James when he's driving he's the biggest
bully of them all
that's not correct
I've only, like, shouted at someone once, and I don't know why I did.
You've shouted more than once.
No, I haven't.
I don't remember.
There's only the one time we were leaving Testigo that I was just like, I just snapped for some reason and just, like, screamed.
You didn't shout at the guy, though.
Like, you didn't roll down the window.
Yeah, you couldn't hear it.
He was long gone.
No, I wouldn't do that, because someone not indicating, it's not worth me, like, harassing them.
There are certain groups that, depending on what's relevant,
on what the year is and bloody, blahdy, blah,
are sort of hated more than others.
So I'd say the, the vegan hatred, that kind of thing.
That's very powerful.
It's at an all-time high.
And the gamer...
Gamers are...
It's weird because a lot of gamers also love making fun of gamers, so...
Yeah, but a lot of gamers also deserve it.
Yeah, that's the thing with that one.
I suppose you can say the same about some vegans going a bit too far.
I feel like with the vegans, there are more that are just doing their own thing, not harming anyone.
And it's just the odd little one that's making them look.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, as gamers, it's like...
Whereas there are just so many gamers.
Like, just so many of them.
All it takes is for a hundred of a thousand to be little cringy children to ruin it.
It's more like 500, though, unless you will.
Yeah, there probably is quite a high, like, percentile,
chance of a
of a
gringy gamer
yeah
and it's been
it's kind of been
fermenting for a while now
the cringy gamer
is that why you wouldn't call yourself a gamer
because of that
though that
well
what does one have to be
to be
ultimately defined as a gamer
I wouldn't say Alex is a gamer
I feel like gamer is
when gaming is your
number one source of entertainment
no
Why not?
What else?
What other parameters aren't that?
So Ben Stiller isn't a gamer?
I don't know what is gaming rituals are like, so.
I'll tell you what, though.
He's a pretty good voice actor,
Madagascar 2, especially.
That love triangle with Motto and Gloria in Madagascar 2 is awesome.
The fact of you remember those types of things.
We were watching Madagascar videos.
I was trying to get Jim on board with the Madagascar love.
Alex still loves Madagascar 3.
No, but Alex has always loved Madagascar, like, since even like 14, it's just like...
Not the original.
I remember we watched the original, and even as kids, we were like, ugh.
That was lame.
And I was, yeah, I wasn't even a Madagascar one defender back then.
No.
And I'm still not to this day.
I might be coming around on Madagascar 2, though.
Yeah, that...
That's the penguins.
That's the one they get lost on an island.
It's the one with the Will I Am soundtrack.
Oh, yeah, in the pouring rain.
That's always what, because the third one had a bullshit bit like that as well,
with some Katie Perry or Rihanna song.
In the circus.
I've not seen the third one.
What happens in the second one?
They go to Africa.
Yeah, they try to escape Madagascar, but the plane crashes.
In Africa.
In Africa.
And it happens to be where Alex's dad was or something.
It happens to be where all of their families are.
like in this one small area
Okay then the third one was just like
Just crazy
Or something in cars and
They go to Italy
They go to France
They do they start in Africa
I don't fucking know
I don't give a shit it's Madagascar
But they're all as shitty as each other
They're all crap movies
Because as as
As funny as a couple lines
The Penguins might say are
they always have that bullshit morals
like it can't be
mental the whole time
they never let it
no be funny the whole time it's got to have like
oh
Alex got defeated in battle
yeah we'll be back up to these messages
that's enough talking about Madagascar
why I'm not a fan of Madagascar
to be honest I'm not a fan of any animated movie
shut up true yeah that is completely
bullshit unless it's
Japanese
does that not count for some reason
they are animated movies I know that they do
count but I'm on about the western like
you've just seen shit ones anyway
what western animated movies
mm-hmm like I've seen all the toy
stories
seen all the Shrex
seen the first in Madagascar movies
so like a ton of shit you're listing
right now uh monsters ink
monster sink the original one's a good one
I like that one
Well, I just completely contradict to my own points
So we can move on
So we're okay with going into the questions
I'm happy with that
If you want to leave you know
No, we haven't talked about meme chat today
We haven't, we could just leave it this week
Yeah, let it collate for a bit
Yeah, it's really getting with whatever
It's a mediocre time for me
Actually know, on the subject in Managascar
The Penguin memes are done
The Analyze memes, they're gone
I don't think they are
Coloski-analyze
I've seen a lot of
And I'm just like, that's not even funny, that's quite bad.
Anyway, this is the part of the show where we answer questions from the community.
If you want to leave your own for us to answer, head over to the JAR Media Reddit,
and there's a thread at the top for you to ask us anything you want.
The more questions, the merrier.
The more questions.
Probably the less likely, you're going to be there.
Unless it's so epic that people in the community upvote it, and then it gets to the top.
It gives us a nice broth to soaps ourselves.
So Dick the Head, a classic reoccurring member, asks,
Which Lord of the Rings character is James?
Everyone may answer this question except for James.
So just me specifically.
Airwain, I reckon.
Rich, who's Erwin?
I'm a big role of Rings fan.
I've seen them like 50 times, but I can't remember.
Are you saying it weirdly?
Is it Irwin?
Airwain, yeah.
Who's he?
She?
Who's she?
She's the one who kills
You know
The
Radagas the Brown
She kills him
I'm joking
How is it spell
I'm going after Google searches
Eowin
Like air
Spell it phonetically
Air
She's the one who
Conquers the Fortnite
Is she the one
The one that
She's in the love triangle
With Aragorn
Yeah and she goes
I'm no man
I am no mad
Dess
Miller man
Um, I'd say James is Sauron.
Okay, now that's pushing it a bit far. I'm not that bad.
Sauron in eye form, or Sauron in muscle, epic form?
Um, I form.
James is always looking down on me.
James is I form Sauron.
He's always, like, looking out.
I don't know James is judgmental around.
Maybe he is a little bit.
I'm not judgmental, ever.
I don't judge anyone.
I give them a fair chance.
to show me what they actually were.
Okay, but if you had an ultimate ring of power,
what would you do with it?
Go invisible.
Would you control the whole world?
No, I wouldn't.
He absolutely would.
I just put it in the...
James would annihilate all gamers,
which is why James is Sauron.
Hmm.
Solid point.
Why can't I think of the white wizard's name?
Gandalf?
No, the white...
Sauroman.
Sauron.
Sauron.
Sauron.
Sauramon is the wizard, and Sauron's the evil.
one. Yeah, that it's... Very confusing
J.R.R. Tolkien, disappointed in you for that.
Yeah, try harder next time.
Okay, so...
You know, one of our relatives was taught by J.R.
Tolkien.
Mental. Awesome. Okay, so I'm an elf and
the worst person in the world. I don't think you are an elf.
No, I wouldn't be an elf. You're too
hairy. They're too rugged. Yeah.
You're too much of a man.
I just, I, well, I'd be a draw then.
Or... No, because, because then you're too tall and lanky for.
for it.
But if you talk about physical features,
there's only one way, it's like man or elf.
Man.
Man.
Anyway, we named your character.
He's Aragon.
Jim, who are you from the Lord of the Rings universe?
I'm...
I swear we've done this before.
I feel like we have, yeah.
I'm that, like, fat old hobbit that's like...
At the start of the first one.
Who loves...
Who is grumpy, but when he sees fireworks,
He displays a bit of emotion.
And then his wife goes, what are you doing?
I know we did talk about this because it just changed into what Skywin characters are we?
Yeah, we can't go down that, right.
Okay, I'm out.
What character's Ruben, though?
Does at least do Ruben?
Ruben's Gimli.
Yeah, okay, Ruben is Gimli.
Skectaw says, will there be another jarred cringmus this year?
And if so, who is giving the good gifts?
We were talking about this right before we started recording this.
But the thing is, um...
So there are four of us.
Um, one of us always does good gifts and the others do like joke gifts.
Um, James has done good gifts.
Rubin's done good gifts.
It's just me and Jimmy.
I'm not looking forward to James joke gifts.
James always takes it that one step.
He goes really far.
Yeah, he goes in.
It's because I still got those razors and that shaving phone.
To be fair, I took some of the shaving foam.
I did as well and I'm still using them.
I've still got three bottles and they worked.
They're fantastic.
No, but the thing.
about mine is
what did you get me
those socks
what the fuck was it
okay the joke one
last year I got you
the gin
the year before
suicide squad shirt
yes I got you
suicide squad shirt
and there was that epic
moment where we
two of us got
suicide squad
shirts for each other
no it's just
the thing about me
is I have a
fantastic memory
for the most
insignificant things
so you can pull them out
your hat at the last minute
yeah
like what was Rubens one
I think
Ruben got something, some gift one of you got, which you, you talked about, like, in the beginning
of the year, and I just pulled it out and was just like, it's smart. It's the best way to do gift
giving me. What happened to all those chocolate footballs? I bin them. Oh, yeah, yeah. Did you not
even eat them? There was so many. And it's not even nice chocolate. You know that. It's like
awful. Chocolate footballs are shit. It was 30 pound of them, though. That was worth it for the
And people got into a habit of getting me a massive tub of jelly beans just a year after year.
That's too predictable.
You have to play it like.
But also after like the first year I'm just sick of jelly beans and I never want to see them again.
And also they have those fucking red cinnamon hot flavored ones that's just like they should only exist in whiskey form.
Not fucking jelly bean form.
I, you, yours this young and make extra special of my joke gifts.
I think we decided I'm doing good gifts you're doing good gifts so Jim will get out of it every year
all the good joke gifts came from me though all the awesome sticking ones hey my ones over here
cyclops you got pigman sponge bob to be fair I wasn't actually here that year and the year
before my joke gifts were pretty good the suicide squad shirt the balls the shaving foam so yes
The answer is yes.
Yes.
We're going to make it extra special, though.
We're going to do some more stuff.
Maybe.
Oh no.
Kiwi Crumble says,
Lego have now announced an Overwatch set theme
with mini-figs and sets of all the characters
and a bunch of random locations.
What existing piece of media or culture
would frustrate to you the most if it became Lego?
Probably Overwatch.
That did genuinely piss me off.
um we did have that overwatch rant last week yeah for which you pissed some people off james
with your did i really assessment yeah what did i say because i was like i was like right
this is my really hyper specific complaint about overwatch i'm not going to talk about mechanics
because not that familiar with them and then you go in and start talking about the mechanics
and piss people off hey i've i played that that game to level 60 solo which as you play as with
people you level up like triple as fast i play the game a fucking lot and the the
The game plays fucking bollocks.
It's like fallout 76 deer.
Let's not go back into that.
I would,
flipping the question on its head,
I would really like to see
some Fallout 76 Lego.
No, that would actually be genuinely epic, though.
Yeah, it would actually.
It would be a fun theme,
but too adult creepy for Lego.
That's what I don't get
because Overwatch, I just associate with porn.
Yeah, so having like Lego versions,
now there's probably going to be Lego Overwatch porn.
Like another layer to it.
which might be kind of epic and awesome
yeah
might have done correctly
I don't think
I don't think there's anything
media wise that I love so much
that I would
seeing Lego Fortnite
would that annoy you
yeah
I'd be more annoyed by Lego PubG
yeah I was gonna say it but like
no but too warry
Lego PubG would be so much easy
so easy to make
because they already got all the sets
it wouldn't do it's too militaristic
yeah
but where I could see
Lego Fortnite
you can see a Lego minifigure of that better
you could see a Lego mini figure of that bear
What would piss me off is Lego ice climbers
Holy fuck
Me and Jim Blade ice climbers last night
That game
It sucks so bad
That game fucking sucks
Light planers and smash
But holy fuck are they shit
In that game
Their original game
The one game that ever existed
Because it sucks so much
I don't think there's nothing
There's nothing
What do I like so much that I get upset
Well no if you like it loads
Then you're gonna like that it's Lego
No, but isn't the question.
It has to be something that would
like really annoy you if you saw.
Okay, what do I hate so much?
How about like a really detailed
Lego set of a car that you think
really stinks?
No, because all the Lego sets of the car stuff,
the technique, like Lego stuff, I think they're really cool.
They're really interesting.
No, I'm saying if there's like a car
that you think really sucks in his line.
But I wouldn't because then it's in...
Okay, fuck you then.
If there was like a full-out New Vegas Lego,
I'd be like, I'd buy that fucking shit.
Quick.
Like meme Lego.
You know what I mean?
You build your own troll face, stuff like that.
Did you notice in the Dosa place?
We don't take American Express.
Yeah, meme.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, that's a bad one.
Lovely place, though.
Got a pretty interesting sort of philosophical moral question here.
Oh shit, here we go.
No, that's not really.
Futuristic Bagel says,
would you be homeless for one year for five million quid?
I feel like that's easy, right?
You just say yes.
Yeah, but what's going to happen in that year?
What are you going to have to do to get homeless, actually?
Because there is what everyone knows as homeless is, you know, living rough, you know, sleeping out on the street.
Well, how about, yeah.
But there is some situations where people are homeless,
but they're not that level of homeless.
The country isn't specified is the important thing.
Imagine being homeless, you know, somewhere where it would be really awful.
Brazil, for example, being homeless there.
Well, if you were homeless just on a tropical island there, where nobody else is there,
and you just eat crab and crayfish, we'd all die.
Technically, that would be homeless.
If you don't live in your home, you're homeless.
That's the thing, they.
I feel like most people could make being homeless work for one year for that amount of money.
Well, yeah, if you think, there's a lot, because I'm, I'm sorry.
I sometimes watch garbage is there's a lot of stuff about people living in their cars
they're like that that's homeless but they have like showers and toilets in their cars
you I could live I feel like that doesn't count though if you're if you have those resources
available but it's still you got to like shit on the street or in a really gross public
toilet is that the level we're talking about being homeless yeah like no indoors
as in you have nothing it would be doable and you just like do some fortnight dances on
street to get some money to buy yourself a
so you can buy yourself a switch so you can play
Fortnite on the go
yeah you're allowed to have a switch when you're
homeless is that allowed it would be the worst
year of your life I would
yeah followed by the best
life yeah life yeah it might
ground you a little bit yeah that as well
before you're giving that huge amount of money
to literally you'll spend you like right I'm gonna go give
to all these homeless charities gonna once a week going
to a soup kitchen, stuff like that.
I'll do that, but first I'd go by every Mazdar Act 7 on eBay.
All of them.
It's like I do.
Mr. Orange 364 says,
thoughts on the Joker movie coming out,
but I need to elaborate on that,
because there are actually two Joker movies coming out,
so get it fucking right.
Really?
If I have my information correctly,
there are two movies with the Joker in,
with the Joker's being played by different actors,
one being Joaquin Phoenix,
and the other one being Jared Letter.
Is one a Joker movie and one like a Batman movie?
Or are they both Joker movies?
I want to say they're both actually Joker movies.
Although I might be wrong on the Jared Leto one.
I know for a fact the Joaquin Phoenix one is a standalone Joker movie.
What was the last movie he was in?
Joaquin?
Yeah.
I only remember one while that it was in.
He was in that film this year.
I haven't seen yet that I've been meaning to.
He was in Gladiator, wasn't it though?
Yeah, it was in Gladiator.
That's what I'm going on from.
He was also in her, stuff like that.
That was a good while on that.
A really good movie.
Obviously, bad idea, right?
Yeah, standalone Subaru movies based off vague villains has not been.
It looks lame.
Punisher movies, all lame.
Venom recently, obviously, total dog shit.
Incredibly successful.
But, like, is Batman going to be referenced?
Is it one of those confusing things again?
Jim, only a few months ago, we were saying,
how could a venom work without Spider-Man?
And we got proved wrong.
It was truly awesome.
It's the exact same case where
this character, even like
in the comics and stuff,
I'm pretty sure they suggest
that he probably wouldn't even
exist if Batman wasn't
doing his thing.
It's his own point of it.
It's his only motivation.
He doesn't give a shit about
making money or whatever.
And it also kind of defeats the point of the character
without there being any mystery behind him
He's like overthrowing the government in this one
And look like the way Venom kind of makes you
Or tries to make you sympathise with the character
And kind of explain that there's more to him than in him
Just being a villain
They're obviously going to try and like
He's going to have a tragic backstory
Where his daughter gets killed or his wife dies
Or some shit like that
And it's just like wow
How to make a potentially really interesting character
Super lame and boring
Well, they're just going to use the back story from
The killing joke
The killing joke, yeah
Which I can't, does his wife die?
Yeah, because his wife is pregnant
From memory, he does have some kind of family
Yeah, he has a wife that's pregnant
Isn't he addicted to gambling or some shit, right?
And he, because he's in trouble with the mafia
Or something like that, some kind of crime gang.
Well, he does a job for some crime dudes
And it goes wrong
Right?
And then he falls into a vat of paint, and then he becomes Joker.
Yeah, he becomes perma clown.
Beans on Toad replied to that, saying,
Alex kind of is the Joker, if you think about it.
I certainly am pretty damaged.
Is the Joker a gamer?
If he was born in 2018, the Joker would be a gamer.
His anger from Fortnite would inspire him to become the Joker.
If he was born in 2018, he wouldn't be like,
He wouldn't, he'd be...
Well, he'd grow up to be a gamer.
You think Fortnite's going to be gone when he's eight?
Eight-year-old gamer,
20...
Alex, that's like,
8 years away, Alex.
2026 Joker,
he's given his Nintendo Switcher's birthday
because they'll just be giving him out by then.
Fortnite mobile, whatever.
Even with some V-bucks thrown in.
Gets the clown skin.
It's all over.
Pooh-
With that one other player that's playing it at that time
Pooh-Fart 99 says
What's the most you've ever eaten in one sitting?
P-S cookie equals cake
But you use the emoji
So it was emoji cookie
Then the equal sign
Cookie equals cookie
Anyway
Um
To be honest
I don't know
What's the question
It's quite a hard one
You did eat a fuck down yesterday
Jim, you ate a dosa, you ate some boiled vegetables and some meat substitute with gravy,
you went to Casper's, you got a waffle, and a milkshake, and a squid.
I didn't have a squid, I had some squid.
Because our mother joined us at Casper's, because it was like our family from up north came down,
so the whole family went to Casper's.
Do you know what was weird?
Okay, what was weird?
We were sat in that Casper's.
and I heard someone yell Jamie
and I was like
Whoa
I was really worried
Maybe someone from the Jami saw you
That's what I was
That's what I was terrified of
That would have been the best time too
Where we're there with our mum and dad
And a couple of relatives
From up north
It would have been awful
Well because we
We talk about Casper's quite a lot I feel
We do go there quite a bit
Way more often than we should
But we hadn't been for a while
True, true
You guys
We're going to be going two days in a row
So
You guys broke the addiction
Meanwhile I've still been going regularly
Last time I went
Oh yeah if we do go today
I can't go in because it's still fucking awkward
On last week
Like oh shit
Nah they don't give a crap
Yeah they don't even look at you in the eyes
They don't know what you look like
He looked at me in the eyes
As my face was covered in chocolate
In someone else's meal
It's a bit like
Fuck
Point it was Jim did
eat a lot yesterday and he's been farting like
a little fart soldier. Yeah, I might
need to do a third poo of the day.
Jim, you get them
out now so that then you don't have to do it later
while we're playing siege.
It's strange because
I can take so much food.
I should be enormous.
You know, I feel like...
We've just got that beautiful beltman
metabolism. I wish I could
eat like Jim does because I would not
be this fucking thin.
What you might be if you had is metabolism.
No, I do, I do gain weight.
That's a fact.
Yeah, but say you were a 45-year-old woman or man.
Yeah.
And you eat the exact same way.
You'd be dead. You wouldn't wake up the next day.
You'd wake up looking like that woman with that 80-centimeter ass.
80-inch ass, sorry.
You seen this woman?
You said a picture you've seen it ages ago.
No, I'm on that show with, um, the best.
guy ever what's that guy cool with the white hair
and Holly Willoughby
some British
I love that dude
I know who it is I can't remember his name he's like the ultimate
40 year old mum that's just fucking love him
what's his name well I'm I'm a 40 year old
man then I genuinely have the biggest crush on that dude
I don't know what his name is he has a really
like recognisable name and I don't know it
is it called good morning good morning yes
is it cool good morning I thought it was something to do
with breakfast I never watch any
thing with him in but whenever I see him he just he's in adverts recently where the
joke is he's in he's in he's in yeah yeah he's like a in it's not good morning
insurance adverts you sure I'm pretty sure it is good morning Britain yeah no
maybe is it something to do a breakfast something to do breakfast yeah I just
search hot TV show host no fuck it that'll fucking get he'll definitely be the first
Anyway, Barry Boy, 8, asks, how do you think religion will adapt for space exploration slash
colonialization?
Sorry, colonization, not colonialization.
Misread.
The Christianity is going to turn into that weird religion from dead space.
That is a creepy, awesome idea.
Creepy slash awesome concept.
I think it all depends on.
if anything were to change in terms of discovery,
like discovering other life out there.
That would change it.
Like significant life.
Like we find a little, you know, piglet thing.
And it's like, there is life.
There is tangible life that we're, like,
everyone's just passing around this piglet looking at it,
analyzing it 24-7 all over, spinning around, making it scream.
That's proof that there's life.
And you hand it to the Pope and he's like,
well, fuck it.
guess there is life.
That's when things get serious.
Why?
Because anything that contradicts
religious texts or whatever.
Yeah, but things already do.
That's a big one, that's a big one there.
Yeah, but no matter what it is,
they'll just go, yeah, but it didn't mean that.
And that's it.
You can't defeat it.
They'll take out the bits that they don't like.
I mean, fossils
proves everything that every religious text
has said
wrong. But they've adapted it
Jim. Yeah, and they're just like, yeah
but no.
That's their
No, but come on.
Yeah.
God planted those there.
Yeah, the devil put them there to make you know.
There is any way to spin it, but it will get to a point
where it's like, we're so fucking ultimate, right?
We have
we have like mechanical bodies
and our wing, we have wings.
We can just fly now.
Aliens exist.
We're just co-existing with them I think if an like aliens came down and they were like we made you
Then everyone would just worship them. I'd worship them. Yeah, like well you're real never like shake your hand to prove the the religious people are wrong
They're like look look I can make one right now just goes look
Put that a little baby is like see it would more likely be like God that would suck wouldn't it in a way
I'd be cool with that
the mystery of
the greatest mystery of humanity
is like an alien lands
and they're just like this primitive life form
just going around going
and then they take a shit
and it's a human
yeah
it probably is something like that as well
like there's just like this
race of creatures they go planet to planet
just
probably just eating grass or something boring like that
drinking water maybe
they just get some energy
do a big plop and from that
plop it causes reaction
and then something
it probably is something
like as bullshitty as that
surely if there was
like life forms out there loads of different things
surely there will be
about how vast it is
it might be so vast
just say Earth was a pit stop
on the way to actual awesome planet
really far away
and once there are an awesome
epic planet they just don't need anything
anymore
but surely if those life are there
there will be a massive galactic war like mass effect level where like shit's going down what if a
no but the the the universe might end or at least our world might end before we even have the
technology to go for yeah what if their technology is simply so freaking epic or they don't
have technology like they could be behind us yeah I mean the likelihood is there are ones in front
and behind but yeah if if if if if if it
A species is intelligent enough to be able to do things such as explore other planets with ease,
as if it's just like going down the street. Interacting with ants is not going to be at the top of their agenda, is it?
No. But the thing is, the universe is so vast.
like we we tend to think in terms of just our galaxy
because we can we can somewhat
yeah break it down into a chunk there's so much shit in that galaxy
we can't even go our heads around that but then there's
we're just a galaxy in a sea of galaxies
it's just endless and somewhere in there are the guardians
of said galaxy
of our galaxy probably baby group just out of
the baby grout shitting out humans.
That would piss me off.
If it came down, the doors open.
Just gas.
And Michael Jackson playing.
There's that steam covering the figure that's coming through,
the shadow of the figure.
Out it comes. You just hear a booming.
I am Groot.
And then A, B, C.
Easy as one, two, three.
That'd be kind of epic there.
No, I'd kill myself.
I'd cringe.
into oblivion and be like, no
your boy 08 says
I recently saw Bohemian Rhapsody
and it really got me thinking
you know how in the 60s 70s
80s we had these huge bands that everyone loved
like the Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin
Dire Straits etc. Today there's no such thing
popular music artists change so much
and don't have the everyone loves it appeal
will we ever have one of those huge bands again?
Okay stop. First of all
not everybody loved them. Exactly. We don't
that we went from that time.
There were the ones that I guess
have stood the test of time.
There would have been Alexes, there would have been
Jameses who would have just had their own box.
But maybe
me
back then would have been like, nah.
You know?
I'm saying...
So you're implying that there are bands existing now
that in 40 years' time
are going to be as freaking epic as
some of those.
Yeah.
No, I don't think it's quite a same.
Why now?
Why now the reason?
people my point though is that like if someone was 30 when the Beatles was first
getting popular they probably be like this is lame because they would have been like
10 in 1940 so yeah so the shit they'd be listening to would be like the lame as
shit yeah but the Beatles would be too new and scary for them yeah exactly I feel
like everyone didn't like them yeah think no no think about the huge
revolutions in music that came with each one of those decades right new
new sounds new experimental shit that we just hadn't heard before it feels like
from the 50s I think music just completely changed and you know why that is
that that rapid like just with you know technology creative minds a lot of
drugs probably it's because young people had money after World War II I guess
so they had to um i watched like a whole informative documentary on this subject that's why like Elvis was super popular
because all they started making things aimed for younger audiences so all of that stuff was the same
i think that period like even everything it was made to be like fast-paced and like but yeah but we've
kind of reached saturation point in terms of you make a new band chances are because
of how much music exists
it's going to sound like
little bits of it are going to sound familiar
in one way or another you know
so
no matter how big a new boy band
is or anything like that
it's not going to be the same
yeah I know what you mean and we just have way more choice
you know yeah like when Elvis was as big as he was
I mean
he was a little radio it sounded like that
yeah
no I didn't have mobile phones where you can listen to and
choose anything you could ever want.
Yeah, I don't think
bands are going to be remembered in the same way.
Like, I don't think Drake is going to stand the test of time.
No, not at all.
In 10 years' time, maybe a bit longer.
But I think in that case,
it's because there'll be people who do the same thing as him
that will replace him, and they'll be popular of that time.
And it'll just constantly cycle out.
Yeah, I think that rounds up the show then, fellas.
I believe so.
Well, basically, I'd rather
Goodbye
He does this every time
Yeah, he can't help himself
I was going to say so about the boot
Thanks for supporting us on Patreon and that lot
And we'll see you on the next episode
I would have just been able to sneak in
If James hadn't fucking ruined it
Don't worry, Sandy's on the screen
We'll be alright
