James has pink eye
No, I don't
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen
And welcome to James Has Pinky
I'm Jamie
And I'm Alex
And Pinkai
I'm James
James has Pinkai
This is the show where we talk about the world
And all the things wrong with it
And maybe right
And maybe make the wrongs into rights
That's the goal anyway
So how did you get pink out, James, while that was gone?
Don't know, it just happened one day.
Just woke up and my eyes were a bit pink.
Full of pus, full of juice.
Yeah, just gave him a bit, you know, you get that sleet in the morning.
You know, I was wiping it away and then suddenly just my finger slipped in mine.
The amount of pus that came out, it just went flowing.
It was like a whither.
If we get too deep into the show, want a shout out of the Jiam Media Patreon,
makes the audio version possible.
They get their names read out in the first week of each month.
and early videos when we have them in the bag.
Should we have a couple?
We do.
We do.
And they'll be coming out pretty soon.
Yeah, yeah.
How don't boys?
How are we doing, boys?
I can barely speak today.
I'm, like, delirious, I'm jet-lagged.
I'm knackered.
I haven't been this knackard, and maybe ever.
I'm so tired.
Yeah, I've been, I've probably been more tired before.
Hmm.
um me and james were talking about this recently um the second wind
second wind is a very real thing yeah what activates a second wind because i i need a second
wind there is nothing that can bring on a second wind but it has to happen it just has to
become so you what some beans on toast gives me a second wind that gives me a first wind
the first wind of the day
yeah
no but a second wind is a real thing
like because I used to work
nights
and I remember
like having to record a podcast
the following day I remember like us driving
to Wagamama and I'd fall asleep
in the car and shit like I was just knackered
24 seven yeah but sometimes
I'd
like work the
night shift and the following day
would be the recording day
and I'd be like I just sleep just I can't because if I if I went to bed after a night shift
I'd go to bed at about nine in the morning and then not be up until about 9pm more like 7pm
realistically but that would just mean like the whole day's gone jar that it's too late
down the drain yeah so I'd stay awake and there's like a couple hours
in that period
where you feel more invigorated
more creative
more willing to just like do shit
within the wind
but it has to be the second one
it has to be the set because the first wind
is just like your normal day
the second wind is like
an entire day's worth of energy
concentrated into like two hours
I reckon that's one of the reasons
the actually no I'm wrong
I can't remember what period of jar
Yeah, when you were doing the nightshare, so I can't remember, to be honest.
It saw one big blur of baby blue.
Yeah, anything passed yesterday, it's just a blur.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you do some housekeeping?
Do you want to clean up some of this poop that you guys left?
Yeah, and we would have left a lot because it was the best episode ever.
Yeah, I listened to your guys' episode on the flight.
on the way back i used um like on youtube premium you can download youtube videos so i downloaded it
and had it there ready to go for my flight i was trying to well actually i didn't even try
to hide my laughter i was just laughing on the plane looking like looking like i was watching
free guy or something yeah i've probably seen free guy like 10 times now just because of
from everywhere you looked everyone yeah every tv everyone around me just
doesn't matter their age
like granny, grandpa,
fucking kiddies,
teenagers,
all of them.
Can't get enough of Ryan.
He's got an effect on people.
You can't deny it.
I've got to say,
just seeing that imagery
in the background
was bleeding into my mind
and kind of making me,
I don't know,
maybe we should delete our review.
Maybe we were wrong.
You're not being group thing,
none of them reacting either.
That was the funniest part.
These people watching Free Guy on the plane
just in fucking silence.
True.
It is like that movie is like some sort of
sci-fi
Is it like a hypnotising thing?
Yeah
Like people actually just go dumb
For an hour and a half
Or however unbearably long that movie
Yeah it's actually way longer
Like it makes people dumber
And while they're watching it
They're like aniseatized
Yeah
It's knocked out
Isn't that the whole point of movies
No
No
No
A movie should make you think
And rethink
It should destroy your whole world
and then rebuild it before their eyes.
Yeah.
Not just nothing.
Actually, I suppose it's pretty cool
when he whips out a lightsaber and stuff.
Yeah, the lightsaber bit
because of the music, very cool.
Yeah, I looked over
and that lightsaber, like,
Marvel scene began.
And then I fell asleep
and I looked over and it was just still going.
I wonder if they'd finish the movie
and then rewatched it
because they were having such a good time.
what was that great scene again
anyway enough free guy hammering
oscar man 97
you literally you started talking about
our episode and then you just started talking about free guy
you got nothing to say about our episodes
I'm actually like my brain is not working properly right now
I can just I can feel it like
I'm at like
you just don't want to compliment us
brain capacity but no it was I was saying it was like
laughing out loud like I was watching free guy
that was it that's how I
going yeah but it was a funny episode
was it good laughter or bad laughter
it was good laughter
that's only because he knows us
I think everyone else hated
everyone else hated that episode
they couldn't stand it
you know it was the worst episode we've ever done
well um not according to Oscar man 97
who said I really liked this cast
I like how genuine James and Jamie
sound when talking about mental health I think James
is very inspiring when it comes to dealing with past issues
and Jamie seems like such a supportive and open-minded friend.
Thanks for the app.
So basically the complete opposite of what you just said.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah, that's what like 16 plus years of knowing each other kind of does.
I don't think that's necessarily true.
I don't think just knowing someone for a long period of time
inherently makes them like...
I can speak about past issues because they've matured years of maturing,
so I feel like I can talk to them in a sense that makes sense to most people,
and I can explain shit in a way that is, like, getting to the point
and explaining deep things because I've been there, done that.
And you're a very good listener.
I like to think so.
I've been trying to do the Rick and Morty mouth.
Andrew Roo, 12, left another positive one.
It's fascinating to me how the cast has evolved.
Jim and James used to be much more shy in the early episodes,
and Alex filled the role of constant chaos and prompted the boys,
and it felt like it was Alex versus the rest of the cast.
Now everyone's leveled out, more or less,
and James has filled the role of inciting chaos,
whereas Alex is more mob-mannered and Jim is a wild-class.
I think James overestimates how chaotic he was in the early days.
He had moments of brilliance where he'd drop a bombshell now and again,
but in the Curry episode especially, James is just genuinely angry the whole time.
See, no, but that makes sense because that era was crackhead era.
So that, like, constant chaos just kind of fit with that era of you.
But, yeah, early me was really shy.
I just didn't have any confidence in talking,
and especially with the fact that I was away from Jara for like weeks at a time
that I just didn't have that position within Jha as we've talked about before
that's cool though that there's a clear beginning and then change
hundreds of episodes later yeah it's definitely what you want
if he was still like this like today like that
there are people that don't really change though
I just don't surely you just give up doing YouTube
If we were identical to back then
I would have walked away from Joe already
Well yeah
I don't know how we could be the same
That's the beauty of us baby
Scourge left one saying you guys might already know
But in America we say how's it going a lot
Or how are you
Pretty much the same meaning as you're right
We're not
Where we're not actually asking how they are
It's more like hello
And I 100% agree with you that it sucks like a duck
That's that new phrase
I actually wanted your input on this discussion
Yeah because this is you were talking about
Like small interactions with people
Where you ask like oh how you doing
How are you?
When it's kind of expected that it's not actually going to go deep into how you actually are
It's just more surface level
Yeah, I'm right
And then the other person says yeah
How are you? I'm all right
And then it
And then that's it
Yeah
You want to know my thoughts on that
Well, because I'm quite passionate in that I think it should be abolished.
Anarchy, Jamie wants anarchy.
No, I don't want Anarchy.
I just want people to be genuine.
I agree that I would prefer a world where we can just be straight up, but it's not the world we live in.
I mean, it's not about that, though.
It's about using, like, we've taken, are you all right, and manipulated it into something that means something else.
So you're saying you think it trivializes the real?
Yeah, because now if I ask,
You or James, are you all right?
I feel like it's about the delivery.
Are you all right?
Or, you're right?
Yeah, you're right.
It's you're white, not anything.
You or white, that's so.
But you still, like, it makes it so you have that knee-jerk reaction to the question,
are you all right?
Mm.
The knee-jerk is, yeah, I'm good.
Or, yeah.
You're right?
I suppose you do have the option to be like,
actually I'm not all right
I'm in a bad place right now
but then you're not going to do that
if it's like a surface level
working traction or something
yeah but like even
walking past someone you
like know
to a small degree
like on the street
you will say
you will write to each other
no I'd say
get out of my way
yeah
I say move it idiot
you're just built different
just ignore them
just walk past
that's no but that's you can't do that if they don't say anything to you you don't know they say
you're right then yeah you've got to apply then you've got to but like in that in that scenario it's
even more intensified just say you're depressed just start crying yeah then they'll
walk away really quickly and just problem solved final one for housekeeping before we
go into some topics marcus barbosa said
James would love Texas we have lots of highways lots of driving it's very
sprawled out moved to San Antonio my hometown and travel to Austin for nights out
where I currently live only an hour drive what were you to why are you talking about
Texas I can't remember that so there was a question that said how much would James
have to be paid to move to Texas fair I just wouldn't I'm not gonna go to the
the state or ever that read Ted fucking Cruz is like
a major part of, like, their political fucking existence.
And American highways are boring.
Yeah, you'd always told me about the whole grid system
and the driving in America not being that good and stuff.
Now I've seen the American roads, at least in one state of my own eyes.
More on your side.
If James knows anything, it's the state of roads and driving.
Around the world.
especially in countries he's never driven in
you don't need to you don't need to driving
you just you can just look at a road and know it's decent
you look at these videos of the American like road trips
and it's just like they're just driving straight
that that is instantly bad
yeah it's
but if you're going on a road trip you don't want it to be
really taxing that's the point in the best that's why you've gone
a road trip because it's a road trip
you want it to be tack you want to go to cool
locations and you know
possibly crash your car
if you're driving for like 12 hours or some shit
you don't want it to be like twisty turning
so no but here's a thing like
no you I do
if that that
for 12 hours
12 hours
12 hours straight is like you're going through
multiple countries in Europe
so there's a there's a massive difference
in the geographical
places you're driving through
but when you're doing a road trip in America is not that
you're 12 hours of
the same motorway, the same everything,
when you could just drive to Norway from England right now,
go through all of it, and boom, that's a whole experience.
Why would you pick America when you could pick that?
You might live there?
You live in America?
I'm saying you might choose to drive through America
instead of driving to Norway if you lived in America.
Yeah.
Well, then it's not a choice.
You got to because you're right.
So yeah
I'm crazy jet lag
Because I went on a
You abandoned us
Put it as it is
Keep passing me that you
I need it
To like stay on target
To stay on focus for this
No I need it
I need it
Fuck
You're throwing me off
I've been in a
I was in Canada
Toronto
6th not Toronto
Vancouver
That's what you
told me. At first I said Toronto, but I was wrong. It's Vancouver. Alaska.
Yeah, so I went to Alaska. Yeah, I went on a trip to Vancouver to visit YMS,
YouTuber, Adam. We do side-on-a-cust with for the 100th episode. It all kind of lined up.
And, yeah, I had a crazy trip, doing all sorts of different things, showing me the sites,
going on to the best restaurants, the best bars, some amazing seafood, all the things.
this Asian food. You had seafood
without me.
Yeah. James has this thing where
if you do anything without him, he gets
upset. You went to Canada
without me.
What? But sorry,
continue, bro. Yeah,
really cool city.
I wasn't
like planning to go to Canada
anytime soon. It was more like imprompt to and he's
like invited me and it's like a place to stay
and it's like, why would I not?
Yeah.
Why would I turn down the opportunity to have YMS show me around like Canada and we did a little impromptu to trip through Seattle to go to this ferry convention, which I can't wait to talk to you guys about.
And yeah, honestly, that was one of the more like culture shocky elements because I've never traveled internationally by myself.
Trying to think the last time I even traveled internationally, I guess it was when we were.
were, like, kids, like, going to America?
You went on a...
You went on a holiday to Europe.
But that was just a Greece.
This was, like, a nine and a half hour flight going to...
Yeah.
About the world, I'm really explored very much.
For a journey that long, the closest thing for you would have been New Zealand.
When you were, you just turned 13?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So...
You turned 12.
And I've got to say the lack of roundabout.
was definitely a disturbing aspect of Canada and America.
I saw one roundabout the whole time.
And it was a whole...
You saw a roundabout?
In Canada, yeah.
Yeah, when we were driving.
Civilized part of that part of the world.
Because I introduced the magic roundabout to Adam and Scoot.
And they were quite shocked.
Enamored to see the state of the environment we live in over here.
That's no, but I don't get that.
That's so easy.
The magic roundabout is not easy
It's fucking easy as fuck
It's not
It makes so much sense
Because it no but the thing is
That wouldn't exist if it didn't work perfectly
It still exists
Because it works
Like just looking at it now
You go in the lane you want to go
And you will end up that way
It's so fucking easy man
All these people who mock the magic roundabout
Just
talking shit man
so yeah it was um it was quite an experience having two canadians take you through america
and like show you around we went to like a big walmart and stuff and so it was like a funny
tinge to have because like they're Canadians well yeah the the British will have a certain
perspective on America and Canadians will have a different perspective on yeah exactly
Literally bordering that country.
And honestly, where we stayed in Seattle for this convention,
it was like this really Bunce Hotel in the middle of Seattle,
and one of the floors had this furry convention on it.
It's like floor five or something.
What I saw on Fox News that evening was like crazier than anything I saw at the furry convention,
which is pretty funny, but just speaking of,
Like, for example, I showed this to James earlier, but, like, in the evening, like, Adam just had to show me Fox News because I'd never, I'd only ever seen, like, clips and I know about, you know, like, what it's all about.
Yeah, the gist.
But, um, like, this, this ad kept coming on.
And I guess a lot of Americans already know about this guy.
He's kind of a figure in one form or another.
Um, he's, he's clearly famous.
I even saw, suggested on YouTube there's, like.
a YouTube like parody like animated thing of him so people clearly know who I am who he is
oh my god my brain is dying but um but listen to this Jim
Mike Mandel the CEO of my pillow cancel culture has not only affected myself in my
pillow but also millions of you out there well my employees and I want to personally thank
each and every one of you for all your support and we want to pass the savings
directly on to you at my pillow be a
so this was like i saw this multiple times this exact advert this exact advert this like
what do you call it the like tele sales bullshit it's like you know showing the different products
to each other and shit i just like the beginning bit where he says he mentions yeah what does that mean
cancel culture has not only affected myself and my pillow
myself and my pit what does he mean
what's this guy been cancelled for
um
adam did tell me but i honestly can't remember right now
it's kind of a crazy week
um
probably like a sex offender or something
but yeah
it's unfortunate to hear about his cancelled pillow
but
yeah
cancel the man but don't cancel his pillow
so what do you
you actually think happens at a fairy convention because you were telling me like you couldn't
imagine me or picture me being at one or what like yeah i did say that but now that you just said
what do you think actually happens at a furry convention i have no and i yeah i had no idea i have
no concept like look there's going to be a show like nearby do you want to come along and it's like
yeah why would i why would i want to turn this down you know like a oh yeah no i agree i agree on it's a
No, I'd go to one under the same circumstance.
Yeah, it's such a memorable experience.
And to be fair, to the furry community,
they get a lot of shit online.
Yeah, they get a ton of shit online, even from me.
But by people who don't know anything about it.
Exactly, yeah, which was what I was going to say.
Because years and years ago, way when I started IA.G,
I did the I Hate Furries video,
which ironically was my introduction to fairies
because of the response of fairies watching it
and, like, defending themselves in the comments.
and over the time, like, listening to people and talking with various YouTubers about it,
I've got to know sort of what it's about and what it, like, represents and how there's this
kind of vocal minority of fairies that make them look, like, really bad when the majority
of them are just, like, perfectly, like, normal, friendly people.
Like, everyone I met was, like, super nice, super chill, just, like, drinking, talking about
video games and just you know normal shit like it was an awesome time um so what what makes it a furry
convention it's like the reason everyone's going there it's like they're all like joined with this
unique cause with it's like part of their identity right um it's difficult for me to fully
explain because i'm not a furry and i can't really speak on behalf of like yeah yeah
what it means. However, I can understand like struggling with one's identity and how sort of
personal and difficult that can be. And just seeing the kind of positivity and like a real
like energy to it where everyone was like so friendly and forthcoming and everyone was so willing
to like answer all my questions and talk to me about it and super inviting. It was just a super
chill time to be honest. It was it was really fun.
don't know how you would like ever get the i had such a bespoke unique experience having like
adam there to like yeah because he's already so into it and like you could just show me around
and introduce me to people i don't know what it would be like otherwise um and i i did hear like
apparently this is quite a toned downed one compared to what they can be like or something um yeah
i seem to remember was it like a specific there's a certain really controversial one that internet
historian did a video.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, which is really set, like a bad, like, optics view on fairies or whatever.
Um, I'm sure like crazy shit happens everywhere, but I mean, you know, any time like groups of
people come together where there be festivals, fairy conventions, gamer conventions, weird shit
is going to be going down, you know.
People are weird, like, yeah.
Yeah, who would have thought to restore your faith in humanity, you just have
to go to a third convention
and see that's what
yeah yeah you just need a
bespoke journey
with YMS to take you through
and yeah they were telling me like all sorts of
stories about like previous
ones and the kind
of like cringe and shit you can see it
like certain ones like
they were telling me about how some
of these cons have these like talent shows
that wasn't that unfortunately wasn't
one at this event because I would have
would have enjoyed seeing that
but uh
yeah it sounds like it can just get properly wacky and have all sorts going on but yeah shout
out to the furry community out there for being chill chill people you can they're fucking
everywhere they're fucking everywhere furries they're infiltrating we've seen like uh the different
like serials and now shit and like zootopia and all this shit it's like slowly seeping in
because all these animators and everything yeah yeah so many YouTubers it's like
what what is the definition of a ferry
that
um
that's kind of something they're explaining to me
where it's it's pretty formless
and you can kind of make it what you want
like some people take it real serious right
yeah um and others less so
and
it's just really i guess accepting to whatever you want to make it
so like uh
there's obviously like the whole fur suit thing
right
people like they have their
fur sonar and they
want to like make the suit and wear the suit
and I saw so many suits
and there's this kind of
they're trying to explain it to me this like hierarchy
within the furry community
where like the people in
fur suits are like at the top
they get all the attention
and this this kind of like battle for attention
within the yeah like celebrity
yeah kind of clout
yeah in a way clout
so like the more impressive
and grand and unique your suit is it's like it is like a kind of clout thing it's just an arts
things it's like these people some these people are like super into crafting things with fabrics
and whatnot so if they're making these intricate fucking designs it's like it's just pure hobby
it's absolutely no fucking different to car meets yeah they're i don't like i say sort of
enthusiasm just in a different direction like there was a there a bunch of tables where it was
just like artists or drawing and shit
like
it seems like you can kind of make it what you want
to be honest
because it's just a social thing
is it all
that's what it mostly was yeah
it was just loads of like hotel room parties
of like drinking and
just chilling and talking
because that's the thing it's like
I don't know I've recently gone to a car meet
just this last weekend
and I went just because it's like
I'm going to talk to people like ours
and I had a fucking great time doing it
went by myself great time
there's no different between
if you're going to gamescom
if you go into like any of these conventions
of shared hobbies
they're all the same
and anyone who mocks it or jokes about it
because they're uninformed
it's just like you're miserable
and you've got a miserable life
yeah because that was something about
everyone was so like happy
because it's like the vibe it's like once you start
talk everyone's probably had this once you start
talking to some of a shared passion
you just fucking explode of dopamine
so you're exploding
the person you're talking to is exploding
the whole fucking room was just exploding
full of this fucking dopamine
and these endorphins
this like great fucking time
all around
and there are a few people there
I wasn't expecting to be there
like in the evening
like Billy the Fridge was there
I don't know if you know who he is James
but I was quite familiar
with Billy the Fridge
and the like drunken peasants podcast and shit
Oh I've heard of it yeah
Ben from that was there
they were really chill guys
I haven't laughed like that in a while
we went to
we went to this place
called Fat Shack in
in Seattle
which they described as
Billy the Fridges
like
um
what's the word
my brain is actually so flat
relapse like restaurant
because he'd lost a bunch of weight
and it was like his relapse
place and uh
it was a it was like a stereotypical
kind of American
food establishment
It sounds like the most stereotypical
American
You just picture it so perfectly
Yeah I can't actually remember
Exactly what was in
It was like these sandwiches
With like fries stuffed in them
Like every type of meat you can imagine
Probably like rolled in lard or whatever
Did taste pretty good though
But the kind of bad good
So I know this is like terrible for me
Yeah like it's killing you from the instant
Yeah but all the kind of MSG
and the flavorings and shit
MSG? It's just MSG
it's metal solid gear
Okay thanks clearing that
Yeah um
I guess jarlings can leave like comments and shit
If they've got any more specific questions
Yeah because like my brain is like a blur
Because that was only like a small little thing we did
Within the whole greater trip
As well
And I'm like still running on fumes
I still haven't caught up on sleep
but I had an awesome time
he was an amazing host
I've always had a lot of respect for Adam
and yeah
lived up to my expectations so
sick
did you um
while in Seattle
visit
343 by any Jones
to see the state of Haley
are they in Seattle
yeah
I guess I'd never
my that's another thing
my geography is pretty appalling
um
it only, like, I only start mapping it once I've been there and I have some, like, frame of reference of like, okay, I went on the plane flight for that long.
I like, on the plane, they have, like, the little screen.
Yeah, the map.
With, like, the plane going across the world.
And it's like, oh, this is like, okay, this is good from the way I've, like, visualized things in my head or whatever.
But, yeah, unless I've been there, I can't really figure out where the fuck are going on.
So I know where Seattle is now.
I know where Vancouver is.
Everything else, it's just fucking grey blob.
Everywhere else is just New York and or L.A.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's in Seattle where they film that show that's based in New York.
What shade?
Which one?
Always sunny in Philadelphia.
That's an inside joke that nobody will get.
I didn't know what you're on about, bro.
I'm trying to think.
It did so much stuff.
It's actually based in Seattle, isn't it?
Surely it's filmed in L.A.
Before it's in Seattle?
That's where everything's filmed.
No, you're saying no, sorry?
We saw a...
Just like on vehicles and things when driving through America.
Like the...
Everyone knows, like, the stereotypes, right?
Like the...
Guns.
The guns.
guns and the trucks and everything.
I was like, man, and the excess
especially. Yeah.
Like the excess was like,
whoa.
Like going into Walmart, there's a picture of me
on Twitter with the giant can of beans.
I was just trying to think like,
I was just trying to think like, under
what circumstance would I
would I need a can of beans this big?
Unless I had a family of like 10.
This feel like a 60s
nuclear family bunker.
Imagine having 100.
of those cans you'd survive yeah you you could live for generations in nuclear bunkers
with beans yeah just cans and cans giant cans of beans yeah that was quite wacky like it was
such a giant establishment this walmart um that you could just get lost in it like it was that
giant inside so many set like it had you could buy like bicycles in there you could buy shotguns in
you could buy
that sounds like
shotguns and bicycles
but like it was so giant
like if you wanted to try out a bicycle
you could just take it off the thing
and just ride it around
oh no way
that is there a bike
with a mounted shotgun on it
you got to take that to the gun aisle
and combine
with your coupon whatever
58 different flavors
of Gatorade and orias
and
don't say don't tell Jamie
did you get
any Gatorade? Did you drink? I did drink Gatorade because it's good when you're a bit hung
over. Just like Luke'saders. But what Gatorade? I had the orange one and the blue one.
The two you can get here. The two you can get here. Those are like the main ones. Yeah, blue Gatorade
is magnificent. Yeah, at first I rejected the blue Gatorade because it's like blue. Yeah, it's bright
and it's not advertised as like blueberry flavor or something. Yeah, it's just Gatorade.
flavors.
Yeah.
It's gator
flavor.
But yeah, it's good stuff.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of anything else
of note to throw out there right now.
I'll have to come back to it next episode
because again, as I say,
I'm jellybrain right now.
You're not the only one.
Smooth brain.
I'm smooth-brained right now.
No, I'm smooth-brained at all times.
What does smooth-brain mean?
It means your brain's smooth.
It was like you're just a way of saying someone's stupid.
Yeah, it's like, you say the same as like, yeah.
You're not the, I'm not a lot.
James is jet lagged as well.
No, I've got a meal.
Uh-oh.
You're fucking not.
Do you want to feel my throat right now?
Because it's dry as fuck.
Yeah, I know what I just did.
No, I've got like a really, really dry throat.
So I've got like a cold coming
I'm ill again
I've got
Co Corona
I'm ill
You're not fucking ill
No no illness is done
I'm done with fucking illness
We've all been ill plenty
We've been ill enough
Please just hold off at least until January 1st
So we can say it's a new year of illness
No I want to get as ill as possible
It's too soon
Yeah it's still too soon
But at least I'm something that'll break it
No I'm putting my foot down
I'm not going to get ill for the next six
months. You're going to get ill because I'm going to give you illness.
When I feel your throat.
Precisely.
What else was it? Yeah, it was interesting how
the kind of meme about Canada and its people
is that they're really friendly and polite.
Yeah, yeah. And it's like, true.
Like, even when, like, it's really funny,
like, if you're having, like, banter with a Canadian, they'll
like make the banter, like, kind of
normal insult and then apologize right after it it's like the funniest thing yeah yeah awesome
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and I felt at home because the climate in Vancouver's just
the same as here like it was just like overcast and raining and kind of cold and cloudy
yeah so you're gonna move there yep that's what I'm announcing I'm actually living there now we're
all there.
Yeah, we're moving this out.
There.
Yeah.
Any other little nuggets of truth?
Hmm.
You fucked us.
What the nuggets are there?
What? Say that again?
How did I fuck you?
Oh, by not telling you how to set up the mics.
Yeah, but this is how greatness is born.
Because you did it, didn't you?
You sold it?
There was a problem.
Don't look at James one saying, though.
James got angry and sat down.
Who solved the mic thing?
Jamie sold the mic thing.
How did you solve the mic thing?
How did you figure it out?
I just fuck him with it.
Yeah, there you go.
And I...
You could have told me, by the way,
because you texted me like,
oh, I can't get into your laptop without the password,
so I texted the password.
Then I was waiting for you to be like,
oh, how do you do like this or that?
And I never got it.
Oh, really?
Oh, really?
It's just that we...
Yeah, we thought you'd be, like,
oh, I can't message you.
When I first texted you about the password to that.
laptop um he was like 20 minutes yeah it was like 20 minutes and me and james were like hunting around
the house for a password because we just watched red notice so we're just hunting for clues
we were imagining being like indiana jones type so we were like looking for the clues and stuff
of which there was none yeah no clues we just sort of looked at lego for a bit is that why they were
like random lego sets like around yes there was like an extra
X-wing in the study.
Yeah, there's Poe's X-wing which I just found in a drawer.
Oh, was it?
Yeah, it was just in a drawer.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were getting frustrated trying to find this person.
So, Jamie was just like, me-o!
I was flying it around, like, whh-h-hm.
I was saying this to Jim, but I'm thinking about selling a bunch of my logo.
Resetting again.
Doing the great reset mark two.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
As in, like, selling, purging a bunch of my set.
bunch of my sets selling them. Why?
Because
um, we've got a bunch of ones I don't want.
Like? It's just like clutter.
Um, I'd say like all of the episode seven shit I bought.
Okay, okay.
That's fair. So like, so like ones like the Trafalgar Square one?
Well, no, that one I would keep specifically because that one has sentimental value to me.
Well, but like other architect ones.
I like the architect ones and I like the ideas.
So you wouldn't sell those ones?
No, I can point out to you in the Lego room
Which ones I want and which ones I
He wants to sell his his X-wing
His UCS X-Wing
I don't know if this is controversial
But it's one of my least favorite UCSs
Sorry
But it's the X-wing
You should, you should just purge
Do it
Yeah, I don't love that set
For every reason
I don't know if it's because I associate the build
With being like so boring
Because it was really boring
That one specifically
Was it?
I thought, do you not find it all Lego fun?
Because it's like when I built my charger,
I was like doing chunks and I found it really fun.
Um, no.
Some, it's like, it's one of the measurements
is like how fun is the build.
And because the X-wing,
you're building the same wing four times.
That's shit boring.
Okay, yeah, I do get it.
But they are a bit different.
That's not enough.
Oh, but it's the X-wing, though.
Shall I just throw it out the window?
Yeah, let me do it.
No, that's a joke we made while you were away,
because we all remember when James took my model Lego airplane
and threw it down the stairs.
No, this actually adds into the conversation we held last week
about when I just lose my filter.
And that is one of the perfect situations.
I was like, oh, Jamie's Lego set that he's pad in his room,
I'm just going to throw it down a flight of stairs.
Like, no thought.
Boom.
You know, all of my dreams of aviation died in that moment.
I found it so funny as well.
No, but it would have been funny if it was like a normal Lego set.
True, yeah.
It's got a bespoke piece.
Yeah, you've been using that word a lot today.
It's just kind of the way my brain works, I suppose.
I'd like, I have a word of the day, basically.
No, that's a good way to vocabulate.
Yeah, that was something Adam pointed out is apparently I say cheers a lot.
You do, you say
A hell of a lot, yeah.
I say cheers a lot, but...
I think that's from Dad.
There might be a Kiwi thing.
So when you say thank you, it's just cheers.
Yeah.
Yeah, I say that all the time.
Yeah, no, it's, it's very British to say cheers a lot.
Yeah, okay.
But to, in other parts of the world,
cheers specifically means like, cheers.
Just when you have a drink.
Like, let's cheer, yeah.
Mm, yeah.
So, yeah, that makes sense.
That's why that will be noticeable.
But yeah, James snapped the, the wing of my, like,
a airplane.
And it hurt.
Yeah, that's the thing,
because I find it really funny,
but you didn't.
Yeah,
because you broke something of mine.
I feel like it's kind of reasonable
that I wasn't really that thrilled.
And also,
I thought it was kind of a cool set.
It was just like an airliner.
Yeah, it was.
I can picture.
It was a cool set.
It was.
That was one of the sets I never personally wanted,
but I really wanted you to get
just like to look at it.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I had it for ages
and James broke it.
so it was funny at the time it wasn't it wasn't funny it's funny to me did you find it
funny at the time no because we rebuilt it I'd but you can't rebuild something that's broken
I was torn on it because I did have to admit I found it act of it funny but in my heart I
knew that very piece that you're talking about would not survive that fall and I knew that
would fuck it and this is before I knew about brick link so it wouldn't have been
it would have just been over
you know
what was over
yeah exactly
like I said
my dreams of aviation
my passion for flying
died
in the
the short trip
from the
the second floor
of my house
down to the first
um
um
why is I said
such a fucking
why is there no guilt
I'm getting torn up
inside just thinking about this
and you're fucking
having a
a whale of a time.
It was funny!
I can't...
I'm just hyperactive.
What can I say?
Sorry?
No, I just say sorry.
You're sorry
would suffice.
I did feel guilt.
Just like a day after.
Do you know what was funny?
What?
When you slung
the black ops disc down the stairs
and it like hit the side and smashed.
Yeah, because I loved black ops.
It was like damaging myself.
yeah i'd say as far as like things james is just kind of spontaneously destroyed
the plane ain't at the top it's more like yeah the discs i remember and things like that
yeah there were much more of them but the one that i remember the most because it shook me to my
core um reverberated through every ounce of this is why it's some unfortunate james
doesn't have a pisser type car because then can you imagine like the crazy shit he would do
with the car you actually have no investment in
this is what no yeah
it would just be a missile
just like going around a corner
handbrake turn into a lamp post
why not like it like it like it's good
you don't have one actually
no no no I it
it would die a very very horrible death
or I would in it it's like there's no in between
this is why I was sensible
named a Mazda
because it wasn't real wheel drive
but now the new car is
what new
cut the laurel you said it's front wheel no it's wheel drove okay okay all right then absolutely
I'm going to buy pisser and it's going to hit your pisser okay we're gonna be
touching pissers do you know I was um thinking about the other day because of all this
convention shit on my mind how sad it is we missed out on mindcom
Yeah, MindCon.
You should have made more of an effort, because it was in London.
We should have made more of an effort to get to MindCon.
No.
No, but you don't get any enjoyment from like...
Cringe.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
I can get enjoyment from cringe, but the second I become part of the cringe,
it gets a bit...
I don't know.
Maybe I'm a pussy or thing for saying that.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just feel like MindCon would have been an experience when you'd never feel.
forget. Oh, absolutely. I will never forget
MindCon and I was never even there.
Yeah, COVID killed that as well. Actually, no, I think it died before.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it died. Yeah. Like, too many, uh...
How do you mord of this texture?
You imagine that. You're like one of the developers, like,
you got to answer these questions, these like six-year-olds, like.
I think it was ruined because it allowed six yards to go in the first place
Who else is going to show up to a mine corner apart from me
I never even went
Yeah
Yeah but you're showing regret that you didn't
You would of if you could
Could have wound up in one of those compilation videos
What question would you ask?
I would have just like
waited till I heard the worst question possible
and then just repeat whatever that question was
How do you mod the texture pattern to that?
Yeah, you'd have to do it really succinctly
Posh
Oh another thing was
I heard a lot of
Really bad
Like English accents
That like Canadians were trying to do
And they're very bad at it
uh they they because like the the the you know the the the like british meme online is the in it thing
in it so um that's what it was just everyone's saying in it like with a really bad canadian um
i can't even imagine how a it's like it's like so it's like not even recognize it could be just
like it's just so wrong and it's unfortunate as well because i never used the word in it either
do i ever say in it no no we only use in it
when we're trying to be rowed.
We never use it otherwise.
Nah, you're wrong.
In it?
Isn't it?
Yeah.
And I feel like you probably play up as well more
when you're in like a different country and stuff.
Like if you're the ob-one-out, like random British guy,
who's just in Canada.
Because, like, you're just like an alien.
You got a weird voice.
you're from like the place with the magic roundabout it's just like crazy town is that what
everyone was asking you have you ever really seen it have you seen the magic roundabout
you're telling me you've been across the magic roundabout you're telling me you've braved
the magic roundabout you braved it yeah yeah it's cool place though I'd recommend going there
I don't know what the rest of Canada's like yeah you've made me want to go to Canada
because it was a place I always thought yeah it sounds it sounds yeah
Yeah, because honestly, I'm not that into the idea of, like, really snowy places.
We go to trudge through snow everywhere.
Yeah.
And I suppose there are some places it would be cool to experience that.
But in, like, November, to go to an even colder place covered with snow, I don't know if I could deal with that.
But it was, as I say, just sort of more like here in Vancouver, it's like right by the sea.
so it's that cold chill in the air
but I saw coyote
that was weird
and these weird fat squirrels
did I show you a video of the fat squirrels
I saw the fat squirrels
it's pretty weird
um these like
almost domesticated squirrels
that just come up to you
yeah I don't know how I feel about that
I don't like rodents
coming into my space
well yeah I was like
frozen on the spot because they were running
right up to you and like
going like dibby shit
I felt like Dr. Doolittle.
I thought, oh, I finally snapped, have I?
After all this.
Just surrounded by moors.
Yeah, just all these moors.
King Julius.
Yeah.
It's weird to see, like, fat squirrels, like, still in the environment.
And they're just, like, fat as fuck.
Just, like, feed me.
Yeah
I guess that's why
They're just getting fed all the time
So they're you know
Stop feeding them
That's my takeaway
Damn, okay
Alright
Okay
Life can be a dick
Sometimes get your dick
From out your hand
And don't be a dick
Wear a dick
Dick the head t-shirts

Welcome to the second half of the cast where we answer questions from the community.
If we'll leave your own questions for us to answer in future episodes, head over to the suggestion thread on the subreddit.
You can ask us whatever you like.
Just like Pill and Face did, who said, what are James's thoughts on red, Taylor Swift's version?
You tell me, I haven't listened to Taylor Swift's latest album where she's finally free from the grips,
from the oppressive grip
of, you know,
that guy
who owns all their music for some reason
because that industry is just so fucked up.
Do you not know about this?
I feel like a record label end it.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
The guy, the man.
Oh, the man owns it?
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
The freaking man.
Okay.
James doesn't have one.
He's too tired for this one today.
Um...
Oh, man.
when they give me this
type of one I never really know what to do
um
so I'm just going to skip it
what's the point of even saying that
if you're just going to skip it because it's one of these ones
where like I have to read it through
and then be like oh like they're giving me like a challenge
I've got to like act some
I've got to do something
why'd you even highlight it then
I'm not in the head space to do that maybe I'll save it
um
zoydberg 33 says whose hand is on the dick the head shirt
I've owned two Dick the Head shirts
and I've been listening to the cast for three years now
and this question has always been on my mind
but I've never gotten around to asking it
thanks Jarron has always game on
It's only gonna be one person's hand
It's pisser dicks
Hmm
It's pisser dick's hand
We could answer it by just picking it up
And each holding it up
It would be the hat
Well it kind of proves which hand is the best
For hand jobs
What? Because it's touching dick
Ah okay
Well do we want to do that
No, it's you. It's your hand.
Okay.
One trait farta says,
I just started playing Dark Souls 1. Can Jamie give me some pointers?
Mm.
Okay.
Here's an important one.
Level up resistance.
You're going to need to resist.
What does resistance do?
Resistance.
Does it make you resist?
Yeah, it allows you to, um,
How do I put this in
simple
terms?
You don't get
like
debuffs.
Very nice.
That's true.
You get like a debuff?
Resistance to...
No, it's actually a meme in Dark Souls 1.
Do not level up resistance.
Oh, okay.
Everything you level up in the game
levels up
like base stats.
like your just basic defence and poison resist and stuff
and resistance is a stat you can level up
that levels up everything that everything else does
apart from the important things that the other ones level up
right okay pointers um
stick with it i don't know it's if you're doing a blind
And if you're doing a blind play-through,
like, you're going to make mistakes.
And also, don't be afraid to, like, start again.
Because the amount of times I've, like, started a playthrough,
even given...
Some games are just best that way.
Like, that's what I did with, like, X-com to get into it.
Where when you're just figuring it out,
and you just like, fuck yourself and it's like, right, start again.
You kind of know what's up now.
Even though I think it's harder to fuck yourself.
in Dark Souls, like it's...
Yeah. Yeah.
Thomas O'Co says,
We'd like to know the story behind
the super weed Alex smirked in Canada.
So,
this guy called J.R. had this, like,
what's they call it, resin or something?
It's like the purest form of weed, I guess.
And he had this little, like, vaporizer thing.
or whatever they call it
dabbering or whatever the fuck
Adam warned me you said
just have a little bit
but me
I was like nah I'll be right
so yeah
I tried this thing
crazy high
and then went on
Adam's like live stream playing
Mary Patti
just like
it made it so I could only
like super hyper focus on one thing at a time yeah so it was like either maria party was like all
i could do or read the chat was all i could do like talk was not really an option
it's just brain dead um yeah it's crazy i i that was something i wasn't expecting i didn't
realize it had i knew weed was legal there but i didn't realize quite what came with that not
really i don't think i've ever visited anywhere where it's where it's legal um
So, of course, every street, multiple shops selling it, branding everywhere.
Apparently, even when it was illegal, they'd even have, like, Amsterdam-style, like, cafes open,
and the cops would just ignore it, because there's always just been, like, a culture of it there.
So there's obviously some just radical consumption on that side, and everyone's talking about cross-fading and everything.
So with this superweed, the resin,
was it too much
um
it was definitely too much
to like be on a live stream or
do anything
really what do you mean by
like would you do it again but under different
circumstances I reckon I would have been fine if I
didn't go in for round two
right
um
because he he kept preparing
he kept preparing it and me like just have that
I should have like been like okay I'm good
after the first one or whatever
The first dip
Yeah, never double dip
Yeah
Yeah, I learned my lesson
At least I didn't green out
On a, on a Twitch stream
That would have been bad
I admit
Well, say it
But
My last experience of read has been like
It's always been greening out
You haven't greened out
I don't think
haven't I think I have I think you've you've greened out once I think yeah do you think so
yeah but not the last time last time is a join because you were always no I think this the
drink part that's fucking you when because you've always been drinking really heavily whenever
hmm but the thing I've greened up I greened out I greened out because I started having a panic
attack because that's the first time I listened to the life of Pablo I was I can
fucking do anything, but I was just
like, just, I was having
a panic attack because I thought I was suffocating
but I couldn't do anything about it
and I couldn't say anything or do anything because it was just
life of Pablo and I was like, just in the life
of Pablo. My whole world
was life of Pablo. You were Pablo
and it just was the weirdest, it was
the best fucking thing, but it was just like
extreme dread.
Like, I'm going to fucking die now. I'm
going to die because I'm going to suffocate
because I couldn't breathe.
But usually you didn't know anything about it because I was just
fucked out my face, just sitting in that chair
just kind of spinning around in circles a bit.
That was a puk one? Yeah.
That was before the puke one.
That was a different, okay.
This was the first bong time.
Hmm.
First bonger experience, and it just didn't go well.
The puke time was when we had bong as well,
but I had like six.
But that was when you'd also had a shit done.
I was, I was, like, drinking milk and shit.
No, I was, I was black out.
I was blacked out while still drinking.
Yeah, that's the thing with blacking out
Just because you've blacked out
Doesn't mean you're gonna stop drinking
If anything it means the opposite
Because brain just goes
Hmm, me feel funny
Me want more funny
Because that day
That day we started drinking at 5
And we were still drinking at like 11 midnight
We didn't feel
Yeah, if not more
It went later than that I think
Yeah
I just remember
Yeah, because that's when I just disappeared
yeah you like
you disappeared at like
it would have been like
three or four in the morning
it was really really early
yeah and it was bizarre
you vanished and then
but I saw like
your phone and wallet there
and I was like
running around the house
like Jim
you must be on the toilet
what the fuck is
I couldn't find you anywhere
then yeah
it's weird my brain was just like
you know what
this funny has been funny
but
come on bedtime enough enough it's just like well just gone it's more it's crazy it's like
that must be what being an animal is like yeah it's just like i know where i live but i don't
know where i live you know yeah yeah but i can i can my body's just gonna take me there
like a cat yeah exactly i think i became billy in that night yeah just walk come home really
yeah see come home hungry as fuck i but
Because my green and our experiences, I've found the perfect amount of tolerance.
It's just like one, two puffs of a blunt, and it's just like, I'm nice.
It's a fucking great time.
Because it's just like I'm a little bit tipsy.
Yeah, that's what you need, really.
I just don't want to touch bong, ever again.
I think there is definitely something to if you're drinking, then smoking, compared to smoking, then drinking.
Yeah, I've always found that as well.
Because drinking, then smoking leads to late.
Terrible time.
it feels like more stupid
behavior
yeah yeah
I agree
I agree
Amsterdam
2022
Snoop Dog apparently
rates the BC bud
or whatever
BC bud
Vancouver
Vancouver
weed or whatever
whatever that means
yeah
I'll take his word
for it
over the most peoples
yeah
I mean our standards here are pretty low
and as far as that stuff's concerned
because
yeah
it's like illegal
we will smoke literal grass
not grass
yeah yeah yeah
we'll just go into the garden
pick up a handful
leave it like above the oven
to dry
and then just grind it up
and just see what happens
yeah
if it's got a bit of dog shit
yeah
it just adds to the fun
a crunchy snatch
says which period of history
more than 100 years ago
would you least and most
like to live in
more than 100 years ago
we've wanted this
question before.
Ancient Greece.
We've answered every question before, but put a new
spin on it. Ancient Greece, no bad time.
Why? Because the
states and the cities were warring a lot.
Like Sparta.
Yeah, but I wouldn't be there.
Or where would you be?
Top of Mount Olympus, that's where I'd be.
They were all fighting all the time. You don't want to be an ancient
Greece. Not top of Olympus. I'd be
post
attack of the Titans.
So then then they'd just be
control by Rome
or the
Fianwobby Empire
like Greece is not
no pre-Rome post-titans
surely there's
there must be a little
pocket of Greece you could have lived in that would have been
no Rome would probably be the best
while it's under
Rome control because it still had a lot of
independence
in terms of the small cities and
it was like a tallest place for Rome
so you just have the
Greek lifestyle with just Rome's
Romans being there for campaigns
You know what I think would have been late
Was um like
Arabia
Post coffee invention
Like just after the
Coffee went mainstream
Yeah
Suddenly everyone's really efficient
Everyone's shaking all the time
Yeah everyone's just going
Mm-hmm
That's the world I want to be in
Thank God they discovered that
Yeah
Thank God
I wonder if any other
like coffee equivalent will be discovered
You know something I found out
When I was in Canada
It was apparently
They get the like fake
Strawberry
Like flavor the artificial strawberry flavor
From
The like anus gland of a beaver
No fuck or ho
No way
I'm gonna
choose to not believe that.
It's not true.
The amount of beavers you'd have to kill
to get the fucking smallest amount of strawberry
flavor.
Dude, you know, I'm sure there have been
many beaver massacres in
history, you know?
It would just be easier to grow
strawberries.
No, but they're not artificial, you know?
Yeah, they're just real strawberries.
Shall I fact check right now?
No, you don't need to
fact check that way.
Beaver
Um
What's the best way to phrase this
Without being put on a watch list
Beaver gland strawberry
That wouldn't get anything
Beaver go
I might have been wrong
Oh no no
It's beaver but
Strawberry fun
Um I might have got strawberry
And vanilla mixed up
Beaver butts emit goo
Used for vanilla flavouring
That's different
That's like shit
It's just using beaver shit
No no but like flavouring
I'm correct.
Yeah, but it's not cutting...
The FDA regards castorium
as natural flavoring.
So when they put natural flavoring on it,
that includes beaver
fucking juice.
No, but you said cutting
like the buttholes,
like an actual part of their flesh
that's being cut.
No, no, the gland.
No, I said the gland,
like the...
The prostate.
The beaver prostate is for the miller goodness.
The bum squirt.
The beaver's bum squirt
is being used in artificial flavorings.
Oh, here we, there's a whole
Wikipedia on it.
It's called castorium.
is a yellowish exudate
from the castor sacks
of mature beavers
beavers use this in combination with urine
to scent mark their territory
both beaver sexes have a pair
of castor sacks and a pair of anal glands
located in two cavities under the skin
between the pelvis and the base of the tail
the castor sacks are not true glands
on a cellular level
hence references to these structures
as proputial glands
castor glands or scent glands
are misnomer. Alex,
are you saying that vanilla flavouring
is this?
One of the most expensive...
So probably like the ice cream that comes
with like pizza hut.
Yeah, cookie dough.
It's probably full of beaver.
Well, no, it wouldn't be here because surely there's not beavers here.
I'm sure they can just...
It's one of Canada's biggest exports.
Beaver, asshole.
well no it's just being resourceful
yeah use what you got
use it or lose it
I mean actually is that is
is knowing that really going to stop you from having
vanilla is the nicest fucking thing
right vanilla is expensive
and kind of rare and if you can
get a similar effect from a beaver's asshole
I mean
why they're not mass beaver farms
because you might be if it's like an extract
thing you might be able to formulate
a lot of it from a small amount
I don't know.
I'm not a...
A vanilla specialist.
The Canadians clubbing beavers as well.
Yeah, like I saw an unfortunate one just like make his way into the center of the city and it was fucking rampage.
People just swarmed it.
Give me that gland.
Just fighting over the gland.
Why the other fuck did that come up?
What was it that sparked that memory?
Oh, whatever.
Or when we wouldn't want to live or some shit.
Oh, yeah.
When would you want to live?
I wouldn't want to live whenever they discovered this beaver shit.
You want to be pre-beaver.
Tastes real vanilla.
You try real vanilla and it's like, oh, yeah.
What is this?
Yeah, this shit sucks.
Give me that beaver ass.
Yeah, I guess least like to live.
Whenever those prehistoric fucking giant birds,
that were like
fucking 12 foot tall
and they lived at the same time
as like early man
and that shit
would be horrible
yeah but
do you not want to see it
to see that you can believe it
I would love to
if I could like turn invisible
like in halo I'd be down
if I could just run around
like in halo
turn the gravity off like in halo
if I could fly a wasp around
in prehistoric times
then yes
but that wasn't the question
the question was when would you want to live
no it was worst and best
least and you know
most like
I think least would probably be like
World War II
I think Victorian England would be shit as well
honestly just England
yeah
throughout history
all of history living here
there's a hundred century
yeah
because it's like every like
there's always like the wars
and the war of the roses and all that shit
it's like no matter what
queens and queens
yeah it's like
wherever you'll go wherever you're sent
you might be sent to let the Pacific
yeah you're going to be in a war somewhere
yeah
no no no no
would of mind best being in
in the Pacific
join the the
the pirate boom
the pirate boom
when the golden age of pirates
when they had the Spanish
privateers and shit
like true pirates are really scary
they're being a pirate
drinking rum and sitting on the beach
in Tortuga
yeah
and like opening secret treasure chests
you get paid by the government
to raid Spanish ships
great time
and you like have treasure maps
and you follow the
the markings and you're like
you're funny voice and stuff
how many like statistically how many pirates do you think
chased a treasure map with an X on
I don't think you'd be surprised I feel like
it was actually fucking tens of thousands
yeah there were just so many actually like accurate treasure maps
at that time that's just the common thing
I suppose like if you if you were going to hide treasure back then
you didn't have that many options no well no here's the thing
that's not how it worked
They didn't hide treasure
The treasure was always on their boats
So the boat
The treasure would go down with the ship
If they lost the ship
That's why Sony boats
Have been found full of gold
Because all the treasures that they got
Would be transported to the
Yeah but where did they get the treasures from
So the way pirates worked is they
There was pirates
Who would just wait any ship
But then
A pirate would be paid by
Would be an employee of the Spanish
Or English Governments
And would raid other
that the like English pirates
privateers would raid
Spanish ships
and get their gold and take it back
to the person who authorized them to then
sell it but and make the profit
and share it with the government
but why were these
Spanish ships just carrying treasure
around? Well why were English trips
because they found it in treasure maps
they found it they found it by
exploiting these countries
they exploited these countries
hid the treasure using treasure maps
and then pirates found them
they didn't hide them
hide the treasure. They just exploited
these colonies for all of the money
that they were worth. So you're telling me there wasn't a single
pirate who was like, look, this pirate
is bullshit, I'm going to hide my
gold somewhere with a mat. They did hide
their gold, yeah, at times.
Because if they couldn't get back to the port
to sell their stuff in their
friendly, you know, area
they would have to hide it somewhere
so they can actually transport
it you know blockades and whatnot so then but then those people would normally take it back so
the treasure was never just there it was moved how fucked up is it that the concept of blockades
was introduced to me thanks to the fandom menace yeah me too and a blockade doesn't even make
sense in space yeah there's so many options in space there is every degree around a planet
no that that's not true at all what do you mean
what do you mean
If you were approaching a planet
You're coming from some planet
And approaching another planet
The blockade is way far out over that planet
So when you're continuing travelling there
You've already been blockaded
You can't go on the other side of the planet
Because they see you
And they'll blockade you
They just attack you
The blockade is initially on the planet
It's so far out
It's thousands and fucking thousands of miles out
But the further it goes out, then the more of an angle you have to go in.
Yeah, but if you're coming from one planet, because you're not, if you're not, if you're, they have, they'd be, there'd be blockades around, from every direction of a planet.
So then you can't enter from, because you can't, you're not going to approach from some way.
You're not going to approach from a star that's two fucking light years away.
You're going to approach on the planets that's in the closest vicinity.
So the angles of approach is going to be quite, it's not going to be like a free, three 60.
There's going to be certain angles.
No, I see what you're saying.
I see what I'm saying, but I feel like there needs to be...
With the laws of Star Wars, the way these ships can move.
Like, you're not limited by this planet to this planet in a straight line.
No, I know.
You could fly, like, at an angle and then go there.
Do you know what I'm saying?
But that's the thing, if there's a blockade, the blockade would see you.
And then it just intercept you.
And then that would, that's still a blockade.
Because then, because they'd have a station.
as is seen in Star Wars.
We'll get a Disney Plus show
about how the blockades work
at some point.
I would appreciate that.
But the way it's shown in the movies,
there's like one ship.
There's that like,
sea shaped.
Oh shit,
they've blown the top of path.
That's the station.
So that's where they launch all the fighters,
which they do.
Yeah.
So that's how they intercept any ships
trying to break the blockade.
Okay, I'm glad someone's here
to defend the phantom menace.
And it's not me.
I love the,
pre-cals. I think they're the best thing ever made. I love
the walk. I love Ryan Reynolds.
The Eternals is my favorite
movie of the year. I'm just out here
state. It's also the only movie you've seen this year.
No, I've seen Red Notice.
You've seen Free Guy, come on. Oh yeah, true.
You've seen three movies.
And Three guys are the worst. Eternals is the worst.
Red Notice in the middle.
No, Red Notice is the best by far.
What? You liked it more than the Eternals. No fucking way.
You love the Eternals. Yeah, you fucking love
the Eternals. Don't lie.
He did. He did
really like Red Notice, though.
I do really like Red Notice.
What's your prediction on how I feel about it, or would that ruin?
You're going to hate it?
But how passionately?
Very.
It depends, because me and James had quite a specific moment with that movie that definitely
makes it, but I'm going to spoil this right now, but Red Notice is better than Free Guy.
But a big margin I too.
Free Guy got under my skin in a way.
Yeah.
Like, I wasn't quite anticipating.
Like, it always looked bad, but I didn't realize it was going to get as bad as it did.
Yeah.
Whereas, I have no expectations for...
Yeah, that's the thing.
Red Notice actually was, like, one meta score better than I was expecting.
You know?
Like, one is in, like, a 10 or a 0-1.
Is it...
Is in a 0-1?
Okay.
Yeah, that's not true at all.
You've got two more him.
Tiger 1-1-1 says,
After seeing some pictures of the Quetzal-coat,
I was, wait, Quetzal-coatlus.
Quetzal-co-a-coatel.
A prehistoric flying giraffe, basically,
with a beak the size of a small car.
I was wondering what are some animals
you find genuinely creepy or dumbfoundingly weird.
I know whales have been mentioned before,
but are there any more animals?
Thanks for the great podcast and game on.
Cogies.
good answer
that you find genuinely creepy
just really bizarre
yeah
corgis are quite weird
but I think there's weirder
yeah there's weird a octopus
yeah
they're not weird
they're living in the
they're living in the fucking ocean
yeah
they've adapted to that
no fish makes sense in that scenario
Not this weird, like, tentacle fucking monster.
That can think with its legs.
Yeah, it's just, like, 100% brain.
It can fit through, like, any gap.
It can solve basic problems.
Um...
Yeah, weirdly intelligent things.
Yeah, it can use an iPhone.
Yeah, have you not seen that new, like, advert for meta?
Where it's just an octopus, just with a VR headset on.
Yeah.
playing
um
half a five
just playing beat saber
like no one's ever seen
rocking beat saber
through the fire
in the flames
on beat saver
just going
the only creature
that can do
fire in the flames
on the hardest
difficulty
um
I would say
the more you analyze
any creature
on this world
the weirder they become
no there are
certain ones
that are just like
what's an animal
that's not weird
in any way.
Golden retriever.
No, they are weird.
Not weird in any way.
I would say golden retrievers are weird in certain ways.
No, it doesn't count when it's something that, like, we've bred to be a certain way.
That's unfair.
Yeah.
Yeah, because you could say, like, 50% of dog breeds are pretty weird.
Something that's not a...
A polar bear.
Why?
No, just a bear.
You think that's the least weird?
How are they weird?
What's weird?
They just make sense.
They make...
But loads of animals make sense for their environment,
but it doesn't make them not inherently weird.
But we're weird.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Humans are weird.
Yeah, we're the weird ones out of the bunch.
We're one of the weirdest, yeah.
Yeah, so we have no right to call anything else weird.
Okay, a flies weird?
Yes.
How?
They live like a couple days.
They start off as like maggots.
They, um, they, don't they see everything in slow motion or some weird shit?
No, that's pigeons.
But I think flies do as well.
That's how they're so good at dodging.
Oh, so their actual lifespan in their perspective is like, fuck, when is this going to end?
Yeah.
Yeah.
after day one they're just like man this shit sucks
just been dodging shit all day long
yeah when will this torment end
it would be horrible being a fly
I guess what that that movie the fly is all about
that
yeah pretty disturbing
I remember that particularly disturbing
a friend of ours
to be fair
it particularly yeah
particularly
I don't think he was ready for it
I wasn't ready for it when I saw it
It's pretty fucked it
That was one of the movies that actually made me feel
Nauseous
It's so gutterily
Fucking disgusting
Combining like insects and
Human reproduction
Yeah
Oh my God
There's a scene where a woman is having a nightmare
That she's giving birth to a
like a baby-sized maggot
and that shit just sent me
fucking
yeah that that's actually
even though I haven't seen that movie
for a very long time
you can just picture it yeah
you can see that exact shot
it's that's good horror
that's yeah
it might be the horror movie
that like shook me to my core
the most ever really
yeah and the whole final section of that movie
because that whole insect nature
is also what compelled me towards
alien to begin with where it's like this kind of intrusive parasitic thing yeah yeah
that like bursts out of you that is fucking horrifying like it's like a fortnight meme now but
as a kid that shit was scary especially like in um aliens at the beginning there's that woman
who's like brah brah like in the wall with it like coming out unless she was so fucked up
when you're like nine years old like whoa this shit real yeah yeah
and it looks real
Yeah
I guess
Fortnite looks real to people now
Mm-hmm
Fortnite is real
Especially if the kind of shit you're watching
His free guy
Yeah
It's all like
Yeah this makes sense
Right
Send on this anecdote then
From a Zepruda film star
Hello lads
I have a vaguely jar-related
anecdote for you
A little while ago
I was in my car
with my mother. We had the radio turned on to the new wave channel and I swear to God. They started
playing David Bowie's The Laughing Gnome. I genuinely felt my soul leave my body when I heard that
fucking opening start. I think I was actually in shock. I could not believe what I was
hearing. My mother turned to me and asked, what is this? Is this David Bowie? After about a minute
of the song she said, this is awful. And just reached over and turned the radio off. We
I wrote home in silence.
This podcast is ruining my life.
Cheers.
How's that our fault?
Yeah, that's David Bowie's fault.
Yeah, he just made the...
An issue of...
We prepared you for it.
Yeah.
If anything.
Yeah.
The fact that you knew it was a potentiality.
For such a man of talents,
that's weird that it came from him, that one.
I think...
But I feel like you have to have a few...
You need to have...
to become based.
You have to have a few laughing gnomes in there to get...
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no one is...
No one has never dropped a laughing noun.
What do you think, like, Bob Dylan's, like,
laughing gnome equivalent?
I bet it exists.
I bet there's some dumb shit.
Do you say...
I don't know, actually.
You did a cover of the laughing gnome
early in his career.
Hmm.
James?
No, I'm not engaging in this conversation.
The laughing gnome chomsky.
A new version.
That's the next, like, deity.
Fuck.
I think James is finished over there.
You've not got an answer?
Should we just go for another half hour?
We might as well make it.
To that 2.O.
Talk about more beaver shit or whatever.
Blub, but, but.
Glans, glines.
How does, what is the, like, melody of the laughing name?
There isn't it really...
It's like...
What's, like, the chorus?
Do you think there's anyone who's, like, so up there and ass,
they sit there, like...
Listening to this, like, holy David Bowie, like...
Nice.
What does it mean?
Is it like a drugged out just fucked up?
It might be one of those like anti songs where it's a where it's just like being facetious.
Okay, the chorus is actually kind of good.
Oh, actually fuck.
I'm the laughing gnome and you can't catch me.
Yes, David.
Maybe it's more of a grower than we thought.
Yeah.
Look, it's a bad song.
That doesn't make it
I'm the laughing, no, man, you can't catch chomp.
I hate, I hate 60s David Bowie.
He looked like such a cunt.
Really, let me see.
But wasn't that just everyone in the 60s?
Yeah, the 60s haircut was just, nah.
Everyone looked like a Beatles member.
Yeah, and the Beatles had terrible hair.
Mm-hmm.
Is that ever going to come back?
Fashion ebbs and flows.
Turn to the left, fashion.
Turn to the right.
Noam.
Fascism.
Fuck.
I'm the funny gnome and it doesn't get much funnier than me.
James, do you want to take us away?
No.
No?
James is done.
Jim
do you want to take us away
or do you want to just keep going
talk about Halo Infinite
for a fucking hour
I genuinely could
yeah
no save it for an episode
what do you mean
save it for an episode
this is an episode
we're in one right now
yeah we are currently in
if you're gonna talk
then bring the mark up to your mouth
so they can hear you articulate
fun
yeah
HGV driver
Do you think I'm a mustache like a mustache like this would see me?
Oh shit, like a marshal mustache.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wouldn't, could you do that?
I'm a marshal of this black, maybe in 10 years.
This town ain't big enough for two of us.
I heard there's a laugh or gnome right here.
Hey, hey, hey, ha, har, har.
That's where Jarl is travelling next.
The heart of Texas.
The heart of...
We're going to see just how cheap we can find a house to buy.
And then fillet of guns.
Yeah, and then see how many gun shells we can stack.
Legally.
Oh yeah, totally legally.
Do they sell eagles?
You can buy any kind of eagle you want in America.
It's one of the best things about the place.
You can buy an eagle eggs and then hatchet.
them in your home.
Really?
If you're a true patriot, yeah.
Honey, I got new eagle, I hug.
Have you ever wondered why the Barclays
logo is the fascist
bird?
Fascist bird? What?
I thought Barclays was the horse.
No, that's Lloyds.
Sorry. You're right, you're right.
You're the fascist bird.
We're Lloyds, and we're going to take all of your money
and run away with it.
on a horse
you know that's why
that's where the horse comes from
because
um
was born from cash
no there was a famous
outlaw Lloyd Anderson
who robbed multiple
innocent poor people
and just kept robbing them
and he rode this black horse
yeah and he had this guy in his posse called PD
he was the most dangerous guy around
yeah
he was one of Britain's few
gun slingers
You had this dance, it was infamous.
Yeah.
The PD dance.
Whenever he'd rob a bank, you'd end it with a little dance.
This is the gun singer that's dance.
As soon as someone witnessed the PD dance,
they wouldn't make it out live, you know?
Yeah.
Man.
I miss PD.
You miss PD?
Wait, well, there is something when you talk about him.
Yeah?
I don't know which thing you're pointing at.
The jar?
The jar?
Cucumber Nick.
Cucumber Nick?
Do you know remember?
The fact that James loves cucumber nick.
Here we go.
I do like you.
I, no, I hate cucumber Nick.
He slipped again.
Freudian slip.
I, I hate, I hate.
I hate Cucumber Nick and I hate everything from that era and the reason he was created.
What do you mean the reason he was created?
But
Cucumber Nick is like a 10 out of 10 on the funny scale and filling the jar of hair is like a 0.1.
So I've instantly, I like cucumber Nick because cucumber Nick should meant something.
But would you not agree that the Cucumber Nick humor was lost after it was.
rotted into a pool of green goop
and there was nothing even left of it
yeah which is good which is no but that's what I like
I like seeing that humour disappear and die
but filling it with
filling it with hair
but then putting the hair in it
absorbed up the humour and now it's like all absorbed
into the hair of Max like
yeah I think unknowingly
you've eternalised Max in a beautiful
beautiful beautiful way
it's like a plinth for Max
yeah it's like a podium for
So he's always on the set, you know.
Yeah.
And I do appreciate it for that reason, but it's, yeah.
The contents in that jar are cold from when I accidentally opened it and it was actually
physically freezing cold.
There's something fucking wrong in that jar.
Yeah, that's why it remains closed.
I, my skin felt the cold embrace of the, of that jar.
They do say when you look into the void, the void's.
stares back at you.
He stared back at me.
I knew I made a mistake.
I get that feeling when I look at the Richard Hammond book
behind you.
Really?
Do you think he is psychotic?
No, he's pretty normal.
Psychopathic, sorry.
No, he owns a garage and he restores old cars.
He's normal.
Normal?
That makes someone normal.
We'll get more normal than us.
How?
What, being rich and out of touch,
being able to buy
loads of expensive old cars
and restore them
makes him normal
he had to sell all of his old cars
actually to fund the garage to restore them
Boohoo Richard Hammond, baby
what would your
on your like biography
what would your like title be
The Piss of Dick Chronicles
Or is that just me
Richard Hammond is what it says
Um
You go
first.
Have you ever seen the side of it?
What does it say on the side?
What's their teeth?
What's on the spine?
What's on the spine?
Teeth. Teeth?
Yeah. What do you mean?
Teeth? What are you talking about?
Richard Hammond's teeth?
It's like a, um,
clipper smile.
You gotta show me now.
I think it's because the top good.
joke was that Richard Tammond got his teeth whitened.
Oh, is that like a top gear in joke?
Would you not get your teeth whitened if you could?
Yeah, I would, but you have to get it done.
It's like two grand and you have to get it done like every year.
It's not just a run and done thing.
I don't know.
Shit like that at a certain point's like,
I could spend two grand on that or I could spend two grand on something that.
Like a PlayStation.
I can improve my life like a PlayStation.
Yeah.
Or a new graphics card.
Which I need to do it.
Like, yeah, you only want to whiten your teeth because Ryan Reynolds does it in Free Guy.
He whitens his teeth in Free Guy?
Yeah.
When?
How much money do you think Ryan Reynolds spends to look like Ryan Reynolds?
Oh.
No, he's naturally gorgeous.
He doesn't spend any.
Yeah, everyone's just naturally perfect.
No, you don't get eyes that small, all natural.
you had to have eye reduction surgery
I just want the smallest eyes in Hollywood
well all of them have gotten
what teeth frightening is they're probably spending
like 100 to 200k on teeth alone
every year but they'd be specialised like
celebrity dentist too
yeah exactly so I mean 200k minimum
yeah yeah they'd be like crazy
and then all their movies are like
ha ha look at English dental care
ha ha
fuck off just because we drink dirty water
doesn't make us bad people
Because we can barely afford to clean our water
And barely get toothbrushes
Just because we get taxed 60% of our wages
In the lowest bracket does not make us a bad society
You never said what your biography, like, title would be
Um
Suck on D's
Jamie Beltman
Suck on D's
No, you've got suck on D's
I can't take your, like
How many suck on?
Unless you're ghost writing my story.
Yeah.
Alex is ghost writing mine as well.
Actually, he's ghost writing all of them.
Yeah.
What's James' one then?
Am I piss a dick?
Yeah.
Pissipede or not PPD, the truth behind the,
the truth behind the phenomenon.
Understanding.
No, it would be like, my side.
A pesidic story
Ex-Mose.
I was not expecting the pesidic thing to stick around as long as it has, but I'm here for it, and I'm loving it.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
I think...
Because part of me is starting to think that you created it now.
Me?
Yeah.
Well, what do you mean?
This shit's turning into Mr. Robot.
no actually i know you're bringing back memories now
well that i'm yeah
no but if i'm if i'm piss a dick and james
you've been the guy of fucking with the strings this whole time
the puppet master i've been the puppet master
because i'm pretty sure back then jami had a lot of creative control
and that he'd be like what the fuck are you talking about
i've i've had no control in anything in my life ever
let alone pisser dick
I actually have this vague memory of you being like,
I've got this kind of funny idea.
Yeah, and then he'd be like, Alex do it
because he didn't want to,
because he was too shy in the early days to go on camera.
So you had to,
you had to act out his desires,
his dreams.
So you became piss a dick for him.
Me, I thought you,
yeah, whatever.
No, James is pisser dick.
Jamie is pisser dick.
Well, no, because, no,
Well, that's the thing.
It's like saying Stan Lee is Spider-Man.
Just because someone invented something doesn't make him it.
So you're admitting you invented Pizzardick.
That's not what I'm saying.
But I'm saying James is Pissadick.
No, Alex is Pissadik.
No, because you might have wrote, written,
created the character, but Alex was the character,
acted out Pissadik.
No, this is what it comes down to.
Who is,
Batman?
Bruce Wayne?
Wrong.
Bruce Wayne is Batman.
Robert Pattinson.
Robert Pattinson is Batman.
And who is Batman?
Batman?
Bruce Wayne is Batman.
Do you get what I'm saying?
James is Pisidic.
James is Pissadick.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Whether you have portrayed
Pissadick in any way, shape or form
in the past.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
James is Pissad.
I'm like Bell Kilmer as Batman.
That was just one of the, one of many.
Yeah, you're, you, but, but James is piss a dick.
Do you see what, do you see what I'm going?
Do you see what I'm saying?
You know there's some truth to it when he leaves.
Yeah.
You know it's striking.
He's being exposed.
And to think, this was, uh, originally supposed to be me.
Oh, yeah, I'll be for the first half.
Then I got to go to sleep.
Yeah, me need sleep, sleep, oh.
Oh, poor baby.
Oh, I made it longer than you, little baby.
Oh.
A little pissing a creator.
Oh, James hasn't even flown to Canada and back in the space of fucking 48 minutes.
Pussy old thing.
Okay, now that James isn't here, do an actual roadman.
I'd rather do a full Halo Infinite review.
Oh, there he is.
Hello, Jim.
He's back.
Hello, Jim.
Hello, bit.
Bit.

Ooh, balancing very well. What are you doing up there boy? Oh!
