Starting point is 00:00:00 Now listen up Here's a story About three little guys who live in a beige world And all day and all Good afternoon, morning, evening on night No, keep going Everything was just beige Like him inside
Starting point is 00:00:25 Stop now Why do you Good afternoon morning, evening, evening on night everyone listening and watching this is the jarcast i'm your host alex joined here by jim yo what up for real and james game on this is our weekly uh funky podcast about all sorts of comedies um and you know bits and bobs just everything we're a podcast about all which is only made possible thanks to the lovely patrons who i still feel bad for not shouting out properly on not last weeks but the one before that yeah why we even i thought
Starting point is 00:01:07 your um probation period was still going my probation period which one zing right so we've got some things to talk we have we've actually got some stuff we need to talk about there being a big main one do you mind if we just go into it No, I don't. Right. Go on. Go on then. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:01:37 You can go on. You've upset me now, so I can't. Right. So, in the, this is slightly delayed. What you're hearing right now is slightly delayed. But for us,
Starting point is 00:01:49 right now, in our time frame, um, the redone Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer was uploaded and the internet went crazy reacting to it with a resounding
Starting point is 00:02:04 wow kind of response to it that's a good wow for those yeah like yeah I always sound sarcastic but like everyone was like
Starting point is 00:02:15 wow they redesigned Sonic and because he was so incredibly bad and atrocious the first time around literally literally anything any improvement
Starting point is 00:02:28 would have been like, wow, in comparison. So, of course, they made Sonic look like Sonic and they're getting cheered for it for some reason. Do you think it's still a possibility that it was a stunt for publicity? Yeah. Who the fuck would give about a Sonic movie if it came out?
Starting point is 00:02:48 We came out with these crackpot theories the last time we talked about this. And I really don't know. I'm not sure if it's quite conspiratorial, isn't it? It is. giving them a lot of credit as well because that would be genius and I don't know if they're quite genius enough because surely surely like a strategy that intelligent you would apply to a movie that's actually worth it and like I keep shitting on this movie because it's like it's kind of like detective Pikachu's
Starting point is 00:03:18 like 2020s detective Pikachu um none of us really like detective Pikachu I thought it was really annoying and pandering I'm not so James isn't seen I was not speaking for James but I know Jim felt the same way. I probably felt worse. I hate that movie. I don't like it either. Yeah, but I'm... I was bored out of my mind.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Yeah, it's an awful... Awful movie. James, never watch it. Don't I have no plan to. But the reason we're bringing that up is because it's got a similar vibe, this Sonic thing, but even worse than Detective... I have way more hope for Detective Pikachu. Because I like Pokemon
Starting point is 00:03:56 as a franchise a lot more than Sonic. so I'm already, like everyone knows how I feel about Sonic I don't try to hide it, I don't lie to you people, I'm not a liar so when I see Sonic Bullshits that's truly like true Sonic Bullshit's I'm gonna say it So I was I basically like I once I saw the trailer I watched it gave it a fair shake and was like yep
Starting point is 00:04:21 This looks like just as shit as of a film But now Sonic looks like Sonic That's the only like different now right like there's nothing like impressive beyond just like oh look they made Jim Carrey look like Eggman you're making real life you're making it sound like it actually could have been a publicity stunt why no no jump like no 100% you've got the licensing to a franchise there's not in the part of the spotlight it's been shit for ages no one cares about it nobody cares yeah
Starting point is 00:04:56 so what do you want to do you want to make you want to make a movie about it has an nostalgia power nostalgia power but they also they they don't give a shit they don't give a shit no but I thought
Starting point is 00:05:09 make a weird design is fucking golden like that original sonic design is so like that's like yes we're seeing you know that Mario movie so they're making it so that's all they had to do they
Starting point is 00:05:22 like that comedic actor guy the one that's in this movie playing Sonic no the one that isn't oh james master yeah he's a shit actor and nobody that wants to make a good film gets him so they know it's shit so they was he in the smurfs or alvin in the chipmunks he was in one of them alvin pa no no he was in um hop one of the exactly one of the worst like the worst illumination no but they made it so the only thing they had to fix was sonic people didn't look at the other shit right yeah so then they fixed sonic and everyone's like
Starting point is 00:05:58 oh yeah these guys are great go out to see the movie think it's shit but if it's good I'll leave my words I've no problem doing that it's not the point if it's good or bad it's gonna get people through the doors
Starting point is 00:06:13 that's the only thing that matters once that fucking money's in the hand but what I'm saying is like I'm not just hating it because it's Sonic the Hedgehog that does play a small role admittedly however based on the trailer footage
Starting point is 00:06:27 and just the impression that the trailer has been edited using clips of the movie based on the actual clips that are shown like it doesn't look like at anything remotely impressive it looks like one of those like a slightly high budgeted one of those like cartoon network movies they do like the specials or the Nickelodeon things they do but anyway that's like a broader picture how it relates to me and why I'm bringing that up
Starting point is 00:06:57 It's because I did tweet about how shit I think it looks in my way that I do. And then I got, I got twittered. I got attacked by Twitter. Um, meaning, Chloe, to be precise. Yeah, I don't want to, like, target whoever the person was that, like, quote tweeted me. But the point was that it was, you see, if you use Twitter at all, you'll know, um,
Starting point is 00:07:22 basically all Twitter is now is, like, people quote tweeting, like, just normally things and like funny caption and then the funny caption gets like tens of thousands of likes or whatever so someone quote tweeted my tweet saying hang on I've got to get it up I read it um just four words bad please laugh or something yeah so they quote tweeted it saying sonic bad full stop please laugh that's in quotation marks making the like incredibly intelligent
Starting point is 00:07:58 observation that I guess I'm making a joke that Sonic is bad it's not really it's not really like a comment on anything particularly like when I first saw it was like what
Starting point is 00:08:13 like what does that actually mean I don't know what the fuck you're trying to say I think he's implying that it's a generic opinion to think Sonic sucks and by you saying that it's bad you think it's funny I wasn't making a joke
Starting point is 00:08:31 I wasn't trying to be funny I was just like well the film looks shit yeah but like I guess this guy might have some personal attachment to Sonic sorry if I'm wrong but well yeah so what happened was this person quote tweeted me with that a little quip whatever
Starting point is 00:08:52 it got tens of thousands of of likes or whatever. I think about 30,000 when I just looked just now. So you can imagine what the replies are like and the real like goblins come out on threads like that.
Starting point is 00:09:08 There's some real like, wow, you're really like going for my heart there type shit. Just like fucking Christ, they're based on like a sonic tweet. Yeah. I relish in the power I have over you. The fact that my tweet can make you so upset
Starting point is 00:09:24 that like it's drawing that kind of response out you do you know how fucking strong that makes me feel have you been like doing that in the mirror all day and like all they're going to go fast yeah suck my fucking balls have you been like doing that in the mirror so all day and like thinking about it just like because I've been admittedly I've been an internet troll before I fuck with people Alex was next level he was fucking
Starting point is 00:10:03 but I wasn't like that though no I didn't I wasn't like that I wouldn't like target people and try and make them feel bad I would try and get I'd try and get people to respond in a way that was funny to me but was harmless to them and to them was just a well that was weird and then they completely forget about it
Starting point is 00:10:21 but to me even the fact someone is reacting to the dumb shit I was saying it's like funny in and of itself it wasn't like trying to pinpoint aspects of their personality and like really going in that sort of shit which is like yeah it's like the Twitter bandwagon thing it's like this like
Starting point is 00:10:40 snake that just goes around like just fucking just like what's the new thing oh the fucking Mandalorian let's go to that one have we decided if it's good yet yes no just you know how does it feel to be on the Reddit Lifeline. Yeah, yeah, because she replied to her tweet that got loads of likes saying he's on Reddit
Starting point is 00:11:02 Life Support. What does that mean? Which again, I was like, am I like too old to understand all the like youthisms that like all this like, all this language? Because I've always got the like Reddit thing. They're like Reddit. I'm always linked with Reddit for some reason, even though I've only like figured out what it was in the last couple years
Starting point is 00:11:24 and all I really use are the subredits for the like channels I'm a part of um yeah but you you do videos on the things that are popular on Reddit
Starting point is 00:11:34 hmm no but it's one of those things where it's like you can't win no matter what you say you're either just Reddit's opinion or you're just going
Starting point is 00:11:43 against the grain to be different 4 chance opinion basically yeah you're like you can't win like everything you say is like put into some kind of group so
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah, I don't know what we live in And then that comes down to the wider topic Of how people view YouTubers The fucking, just how they understand them It's fucking bizarre Well, to be fair, sorry to interrupt But in the thread there were loads of people defending me A hell of a lot of it
Starting point is 00:12:15 To be fair But then it's all the people who were going against you But making quite broad accusations or assumptions on you based on nothing or the most entry level, just surface level, shit about... Yeah, the truth is they probably read on Reddit that you just copy Reddit. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:12:37 The most irritating thing and it happens on jar comments, it happens on like G comments anywhere any of us have been. People like... One person comes up with like some kind of story or thing you've said or they misconstrue something or whatever and then they spread these like ideas that you have said things that you've never said so loads of people like quote me saying things
Starting point is 00:13:01 that I just straight up never have said but that's their entire belief of me is something they probably saw somewhere else and it was just like yeah you have to really get used to that if you have like a presence online that like it's almost like being a politician where it's like no matter what or who you are 50% of people are gonna just fucking hate your guts
Starting point is 00:13:20 no matter what and you just got to get used to it damn you're dropping some hard truths here bro well what the actual truth is though is that there are the people that watch content and the vast majority of them are not interactive they're not interacting with the content they're not pressing like they're not commenting they're not viewing they're just consuming they view it they watch the video and they decide like in their own head if they thought it was funny or if they even watch the whole thing and then they close it and go on with their life. That's the majority of people in the way they consume content, but then
Starting point is 00:13:54 you have what's called the vocal minority just statistically and proportionally, if you compare the number of comments on a video and how many independent people that would be compared to like the overall views, it's just it's like at max
Starting point is 00:14:10 like 2, 3% or something of viewers. It's like nothing. It doesn't indicate really anything. The like and dislike thing is a bit better because people you're even more anonymous when you're just doing that so
Starting point is 00:14:25 yeah man I think it is actually really difficult not speaking from my own perspective but in general to actually be a YouTuber not in the like Logan Paul
Starting point is 00:14:43 Jake Paul way where they've just grown up in this world where it's almost like You're grown-ups are removed. Yeah. Whereas a lot of content creators are like just ordinary people that have done ordinary jobs and that sort of thing. And then they're suddenly like super famous but on a different level. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah, because people, they're famous and well known for something no one like respects. Like people respect like Brad Pitt. He's in fight club or whatever. People don't respect, like, Logan Paul. This, it's, like, different. But then some people do. It's all this, like, game of, like, your perception of how, like... Well, it's a changing time.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Like, going... I thought YouTube, like, actually living off of the stuff people live off on YouTube when I was younger, like, it's just not a possibility. Yes, mental. Yeah, we witnessed the whole rise of, like, we really were there as people. started like especially like the video game stuff people really getting into like the rise of Twitch and people doing that and people like rooster teeth and their like achievement hunter stuff like they were really at the forefront of going all that kind of that kind of stuff but yeah it's a difficult one and it's hard to relate
Starting point is 00:16:10 to because it's not it's not a very common problem is it it's a weird one yeah exactly I just I just don't think most people, the vocal minority, don't see you as a person. I think they will see, it's just content. It's not the fact that there's actually like a, the thing they're viewing is like probably like two, three percent of the actual person. It's such a focus thing that they get this idea that you aren't actually will. One thing that always like, it's so confusing to me is when people, they will hold you to things you may have said years and years and years. ago so they're a video I've been doing it since 2013 so say I uploaded a video in 2013 on a subject however many years ago that was and they still think that I
Starting point is 00:17:03 necessarily think everything that I said in that video now which is like that's just not the case like as I upload a video that's like a captured hot take basically at that moment and that doesn't necessarily mean that as time goes on it's gonna stay the exact same but that's just like a a captured imprint of what it was and then the timeline keeps going that's yeah it's just like obvious shit or say i always look at that like videos that relate to each other and when did they upload this and like have they changed since then or whatever but i don't expect everyone to just do that though yeah Should be crazy
Starting point is 00:17:47 But I guess It doesn't bug me But the only thing that does bug me is that it was like such a lame one Like it was such a like oh that's a lazy one to get Like really just Sonic bad please laugh What would just sarcastic What would be better Well I don't know because I don't actually really know what their point is
Starting point is 00:18:10 Is their point that like I'm not I have to like it because it's Sonic the Headshog and I'm nostalgic for Sonic the Hedgehog I don't understand what they want Is that they didn't want you to say anything at all So because I Think something they think looks good looks shit Then they don't want to hear it
Starting point is 00:18:28 Yeah yeah That's yeah so fucking lame and it's just Twitter in a nutshell Yeah I'm really not I've gone from Twitter I really don't use it anymore I don't like it, it's terrible The whole culture around it is not good but I don't it's like such a vague statement
Starting point is 00:18:48 that anyone could attach themselves to because like whatever I'll join in on this one Mm-hmm Yeah I don't really get it Oh well It's all water under the bridge No I want them dead
Starting point is 00:19:02 I'm joking I'm joking Let's move on from Sonic The effing head jogging That's before we realise Alex is actually the fucking mob, and he is just going to pull people. You muscle me.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You gotta muscle me. I've noticed ponchos are on the rise. Yeah, again, I'll start in another trend. What is... Me starting another trend. Yeah, no. James Tell them. That's debatable. James, Jamie, like always,
Starting point is 00:19:36 for fun of human advancement. But yeah, genuinely, I... I've seen two or three people in the last few weeks in this very town wearing ponchos and I'm just like are you kidding are you joking and then I
Starting point is 00:19:51 and then today or last night in the evening I whip on my Xbox and I start playing that new Star Wars game and what does the main character frickin' wear? A goddamn customizable poncho that you can equip what is happening
Starting point is 00:20:07 apart from the fact ponchos are just cool westerns are coming back you know what it is You haven't wear your poncho in ages though Yeah, because You know, I have to feel it I have to like earn it
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah, well now that it's cool I don't really want to do it anymore Yeah we've already moved on to the new thing Yeah, I've moved on Yeah see We're so just far ahead of the cover I can't actually believe it God
Starting point is 00:20:31 Just give us money on Patreon Just do it Why buy our merch On the forefront of modern fashion Yeah, get a picture of my dog Great Cute dog Cute top
Starting point is 00:20:51 You know if you're If you're wanting to get those E-boy bucks from Your only fans on Twitter Buy the Aggie shirt Boom Speaking of Argy I've been having some poo problems lately
Starting point is 00:21:06 Not with Argy But with Argy's sister Paisley Ah don't call her his sister. Yeah, I hate calling Paisley's sister as well. That's not right. They're different breeds.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Yeah, they're friends. That's what I normally call them. They're friends. I haven't even go that far. What are they? The greatest friendships start from being the greatest enemies. They have been enemies.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But the point is, Paisley, my just under eighth month old, eight months old Golden Retriever puppy Labrador, white Labrador not white Labrador Golden Retriever
Starting point is 00:21:49 keeps doing poos on the goddamn carpet and it's like it got to such a degree where it was like okay wake up go downstairs do I smell it yet no no okay so far so good
Starting point is 00:22:01 go into the room where they are do I smell it out of yeah there it is there's that recognisable stench holy fuck that shit's sour and you walk around like trying to find and so there it is big steamy probably still got like it's got like flies on it little gaps missing from where argi's licked it oh it's a point though so argue has never eaten her turd as far as i'm aware or did she did she do it loads and argue kept eating it and then he was
Starting point is 00:22:32 just like i can't do this anymore when he was on steroids he would often eat his own feces and i to get him in because if you didn't if you didn't keep your eye on him you'd I've got some pictures of my phone of him eating his own shit
Starting point is 00:22:45 and God they're good that's fucking gross why because you're some steroids he was so hungry he ate his own shit yeah apparently some dogs do that though
Starting point is 00:22:58 normally like apparently it's not uncommon for dogs to just eat their own shit I remember you being like so argue might just forever eat his and shit like that might just
Starting point is 00:23:08 Well, my fear was he was going to get addicted. Filling that void. Yeah, I thought he was going to go like cheese platter on the garden. And part of me was like, this is kind of handy because I don't have to pick any shit up anymore. You just eat it. Surely it's a survivalism thing.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Like if thou out in the wild... That will digest. If they're not going to be the top of the food chain. So it's like something might kill them. So if they eat their own shit, There's not something for them to be found Yeah, there's no stench left Yeah
Starting point is 00:23:42 So if you ever being hunted by someone Just if you do a poo make sure to eat it So you can't smell it Yeah, if a bear's hunting you or whatever Don't eat your own feces That's my renders advice Yes, only when necessary You guys got any topics?
Starting point is 00:24:04 Yeah Go on then I'm going to talk about fart don't do that what I can't stand when James does that what
Starting point is 00:24:16 I got a topic do you actually have a topic yeah we talk about it well then you don't my topic then no because I join into it idiot okay
Starting point is 00:24:28 well we got five minutes before the break you act as if I don't add anything and that is really heartbreaking to me I haven't added anything you never do Okay, what's something What's something we've enjoyed recently That's pricked our tickles
Starting point is 00:24:43 James, you've seen something I have I did something incredible I did something that no man has done before I've watched Goodfellas Oh wow I've done that No you haven't
Starting point is 00:25:00 And I must say It's a really good movie Like possibly the best movie you've ever seen Really? For real. It's a good pick. Yeah. That movie is 100% perfection.
Starting point is 00:25:11 There's not a single problem with that movie. I'm not going to debate you on if Goodfellists is a good movie. When was the last time you saw it? A few years ago. I haven't seen that movie since I was like 15. It's worth rewatching, especially with it being. Yeah, the first minute of that movie is just like fucking incredible. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Just that... The narration, the... characters yeah it's an awesome film so good so good and I want to watch more I want to watch more Martin Scorsese well yeah Joker he made that good movie yeah for real yeah why do you think it was so incredible and revolutionary
Starting point is 00:25:53 it not that you mention it it does kind of seem like a Scorsese movie see he was literally in it he was the like guy oh the the TV show host yeah he was the TV show host Alright Yeah, the more you know Just spitting out facts for you guys out there
Starting point is 00:26:12 Did you know he's also real fact Real fact right now He's in Birdman Who Robert De Niro? Oh you fucking imbecile Robert De Niro didn't direct the director Martin Scorsese is in Birdman
Starting point is 00:26:26 No he's not He's in Sharktail He's in Birdman as well No he's in Sharktail What's Sharktail James That's a good Martin Scorsesie I've seen sharktail I don't need to see it again do you remember him in that movie though
Starting point is 00:26:43 tell me what he was and I can say yes he was the pufferfish yes that's Martin Scorsese oh well Smith you're really making me remember that yes I when I was a kid I fucking laugh at that bit I was a fan of shark so you've always had taste then yeah funniest bit in the film probably no there's nothing funny about that but from the fact that it was greenlit that's the funny bit the fact that someone drew
Starting point is 00:27:09 the fact that someone drew like a picture of Will Smith and then drew a picture of they should combine their faces that's the real the magic of Shark Tale holy fuck just like if that can get made any dumb shit you can think of can get made
Starting point is 00:27:27 of the Sonic movie yeah it doesn't matter if you're as awful as Will Smith in Shark Tale or as annoying as Sonic Harchog, you're going to get a film one day. Sounds like you're just saying Sonic's bird. The fucking Cheetos Tiger is probably going to get a movie soon.
Starting point is 00:27:47 How about Mr. Clean? He's already got a movie. Food fight. Food fight. No, well, the other one, the one with Seth Rogen. Food fight, too. Sausage Party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:02 I swear a sausage party. gets worse the more time parts of the movie maker told me that like the people who worked on it were like tortured or some shit the animators yeah do you know about this food fight they were like not food fight sausage sausage party the animators on food
Starting point is 00:28:21 fight were treated just they were actually put down they were slaughtered yeah no but um the animators of sausage party was screwed financially and how much they had to work. They had to, like, really grind that shit out.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Like, staying and extra time for, like, barely any money or bye-bye to your job. And where did all that money go? To Seth Rogen's fucking weed farm. And that's bad. Yeah. Seth Rogen... He's a prick. No, but you loved him in Lion King.
Starting point is 00:29:00 He's going to win an Oscar probably for that. And if he does, he's also a prick, so does not. He can suck my knob any time. Best voice acting of the year by far. We should try and get him on the cast. If you can get a quote tweet of you to get 30,000 retweets, you can get Seth Rogen on the cast. I'd rather a different Seth, McFarlane.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Which would make you more angry, James, for me to open the door and then you see one of the sets. Wogan is a worst person. Whoa. Okay, I guess you know him personally then. Yeah, I do. He smokes weed. Seth MacFarlane loves weed.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Okay, I don't want either of them. Well, with that said, we'll see you after these messages. I actually love weed. John Media shirts, now, or I'm going to hurt you. Description below. Right, so here's the second... Half of this... jar
Starting point is 00:30:04 is the second part of the goddamn jar castor right hey shut up this is the part where we answer questions from the community
Starting point is 00:30:12 if you want to leave your own questions for us to answer head over to the JAR Media Reddit there's a
Starting point is 00:30:17 suggestion thread that usually works although we haven't had much luck lately but go over there
Starting point is 00:30:21 and have a look and leave a little question for us will you um we're gonna start off today
Starting point is 00:30:26 with one from their name this is my this is officially my favorite Reddit username I've ever
Starting point is 00:30:31 seen Master Uguay Death Scene Who's Uguay? The turtle from Country Hander Yeah I just remembered Their name
Starting point is 00:30:40 Master Ugui death scene It's also making him be a bit sad Yeah why Why do you remind me of that Although it's quite a nice Death scene to be fair It just becomes like petals Sort of like chooses to die
Starting point is 00:30:53 type thing Anyway their question Beyond their awesome name Is What was the first 18 rated game you played or film you watched and how old were you probably Red Dead Redemption one yeah let's do games first oh yeah Gtcha 5 City the day it came
Starting point is 00:31:15 out and how old would you have been roughly I didn't understand anything but I knew to do the cheat code I don't know I can't remember young enough I literally had no idea what was going on I just knew how to do the cheat codes to change your character right okay That's a tough question because... Is it the first one you can remember? The first 18 rated game you played? I don't know if that's like a thing that...
Starting point is 00:31:44 Was Dead Space 1 rated... That would have been 18? 18? Yes. Because I did play that. But surely I played an 18 before then. We didn't play like violent things on PS2. There was nothing violent on Game Boy or anything like that. No.
Starting point is 00:32:02 And, yeah, and then we got, no, you know, it might have been Gears of War, too, or something like that. Gears of War would make sense. Because Gears of War actually is, like, really violent, whatever. Movies much younger, like 18 rated movies. I remember Alien and Robocop. Yeah, those were the two I was going to say, because, like, I don't know, we, it was never really hidden from us. games were but movies weren't if you're strange
Starting point is 00:32:35 there's something about like you having control over the game it's like an old school belief yeah it's not like properly understanding what's going on there it's like fear of the unknown type shit yeah my movie probably would be saving private wine really when did you watch that six seven
Starting point is 00:32:55 all right I remember like I watched a bunch of those like war movies when I was fair not that young but because I just wouldn't I would have been bored but yeah yeah when I was a bit old I remember watching shindler's list I remember yeah because it was when I was obsessed with spill I think and back then we didn't have Netflix in the UK but you had it was called like love film or something we had like your list of films that they're going to send you like the disc of so they'd send you the disc and then you'd send that back and it would like you'd like pay a monthly fee or whatever and you it's like blockbuster basically yeah and i've got
Starting point is 00:33:34 shin that's when i first saw shinsers list was i got mum to get it for some reason because i must have heard on like a podcast that it was really good or something i'm surprised she let you and then watched it no because i think they don't mind because of the historical side to it or something and i wasn't like that young i'm pretty sure i was still i was like a teenager by then i remember I don't know if it's an 18, but for your like 14th birthday or something, we watched Pan's Labyrinth. That must be
Starting point is 00:34:01 an 18. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, it might be. I was pretty graphic. Which means I would have been 11. That one fuck me up more than like any other one. Like alien, whatever. Because the, have you seen Pan's
Starting point is 00:34:19 Labyrinth, Jim? No. The pale. If you've seen Pan's labyrinth. It's a frightening movie, yeah. But the pale, specific, specifically. Yeah, it's just creepy creature. It's genius. Guillaume del Toro by Death Stranding to link the social strands. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:34:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mm-hmm, yeah, okay, okay. Well, kill me how I want a day. I'm going to try that one again. asks are you guys at all excited for the rise of Skywalker so that's the new Star Wars movie that's out in a few weeks um I oh yeah because of World War II imagery right so you're already sold
Starting point is 00:35:08 um you Jim no no nothing no there's no excitement like the Force Awakens kept me in like a a haze because of that incredible marketing yeah
Starting point is 00:35:27 and then the last the last Jedi was like right let's see where this goes yeah there wasn't that much like excitement for the last Jedi though no like compared to the Force Awakens anyway people were still excited but they weren't like losing their goddamn mind
Starting point is 00:35:45 in the same way because it's because Star Wars was coming back with the Force Awakens and then like what can you say after that Star Wars And we'd already had two new Star Wars songs by the time the last Jedi came out Now we've had
Starting point is 00:35:58 Well I guess this will be A what fifth with them Yeah Still it's gonna Just don't go into it wanting anything But just nice visuals And to be amused Don't look at it any other way
Starting point is 00:36:11 You'll have a good time If you're burnt out on it Just go there and look at nice things I'm kind of disappointed that JJ Abrams has come back Like I kind of wanted it to be just a different director yeah like because to me that's what is interesting about these new star wars films is they're
Starting point is 00:36:26 like they're not as much new star wars as they are just like directors takes on what star was to them that's how i've always sort of seen it and that's why i've forgiven things others haven't but yeah the fact it is jj and especially like i think i think about a lot like how the force awakens like bit itself in in the foot just by its approach more than anything it's like the real thing that's kind of messed up like the trajectory of this new trilogy i really think they just they chose to start that story at the wrong time is one of its biggest problems they also told a story that has already been told yeah but that's what i'm saying is like instead of having that movie just be a remake of
Starting point is 00:37:16 Force Awakens, of a New Hope, sorry. Have, like, the first movie be about Luke training Kylo and that going wrong and that being where that movie ends and, like, going from there. Because then you get Luke being like a teacher and you get, because then you could have, at the same time, you could have different characters have arcs through the three movies. Like, you can have Luke go through another, like, redemption art, basically, through the trilogy. and Kylo do like the same thing yeah they needed to be more of a passing of a torch
Starting point is 00:37:53 but as far as excitement for the new one I'm curious yeah I'm like what are they even gonna do I'm not not excited but I'm not excited you know yeah yeah which is kind of sad they were already like burnt out like that didn't take long did it yes because the they had no plan see that's the thing this difference
Starting point is 00:38:14 I'm not burnt out that's the thing though like everyone thinks that it's like no one's going to go and see it and stuff and but I'm just like I think people are going to go just see it in the same way they just see you like the new Avengers like oh there's a new Star Wars now let's just see what it is it's Star Wars and especially with all the marketing like it's quite manipulative the way they're like making it seem like the story has always been leading to this moment even though that's not the way it's been and they're acting as if like this is the ultimate ending even though it's going to keep going to keep going at some point but yeah to me I'll watch it obviously but
Starting point is 00:38:54 my needle is like right in the middle yeah same so I just need to watch Rogue One again and then I'll be hype that's the one like despite all the Disney Star Wars hate
Starting point is 00:39:08 Rogue One is considered like the true Star Wars movie of the new ones it's so good and who's the main actress in it? That English woman. I don't even know her name. I'm just, I'm constantly
Starting point is 00:39:22 getting confused of New Me Rapace. Oh really? They look quite different and they're from different places. And I don't know why, though. It's because obviously Newmyra Pace was Permepheus, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, she was the main character.
Starting point is 00:39:39 I called you Newme. Yeah, you called me Newmie for like a good year. Because I just thought it was such a bizarre name. knew me why didn't you call anyone else knew me because I've always been like this special one and you know that
Starting point is 00:39:53 and Matt especially liked that one right Pablo Diablo the third asks dear jar I was wondering if you could shout out me Robert Langhammer as it is my birthday the next time the cast is uploaded but why did I even read this
Starting point is 00:40:13 that means this is kind of flipey out because we're a week ahead of that cast anyway. Well, I mean, I hope it was good, man. Yeah, I hope you had an awesome thing. Oh, no. Oh, God, and I just read like the next part. Hang on, it is a serious one. I thought it might partially be a joke. Hang on, let me continue.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Okay, what is your down now? It's a shame it's missed that we've missed it then. I've been following you for a long time and you've always brought a smile to my face. I was recently diagnosed with clinical depression and had been on Fluxetine For a few months Sorry, it's just, I'm really bad at reading Like any
Starting point is 00:40:54 Medical or like chemicals Fisotricanina glean Can't fucking do it The cast has really helped and I can't thank you enough The stories you guys tell and how open you are Makes me feel part of the community This would really make my day, thank you. Sayanaro, my asshole it bitches
Starting point is 00:41:15 See you soon Yeah, so at the very least He's using that Wong What, Sianara? Yeah That's what you say Like if you're World War II fighter And you're not coming back
Starting point is 00:41:29 You say Sondra That's what I was thinking Yeah, I hope he's not He doesn't mean it that way Yeah, no no Especially if like Trigger warning, dude I feel like yeah
Starting point is 00:41:40 If we You gotta like preface When there's like a serious one We should have like a rule Like, if it's a serious one, like, just put serious as like one word. So we don't go into it like, yeah, you're still doing the way thing right now. This is serious, bro. This is serious because you saw no.
Starting point is 00:42:04 That's why agenda just... I agree. Yeah, hopefully he didn't mean it that way and he was just saying, take it easy, guys. Yeah, I'd be very concerned if you were saying it seriously. Yeah Better message me Make sure you're okay Yeah leave another comment so we can see
Starting point is 00:42:23 Don't worry Pill and face has one for us What's the best insult you've said to someone Or heard someone say What why you laugh Why'd you laugh and then look at me I don't know Why'd you giggle and then look at me
Starting point is 00:42:43 what's the best insult you've said to someone or heard someone say um well we're clearly two two we're three fucking cuck boys and we've never said an insult to anyone that's actually why i was laughing as well oh really i was gonna say the worst thing i've said would be like hey fuck you no my i think mine is literally oh calm down That's the most aggressive I've ever gotten Oh, give it to rest Well
Starting point is 00:43:24 You cross Well, I'm cross Well, I think I've probably said worse than that I've probably gone in a bit James has the best ones Like James is like As far as like insults
Starting point is 00:43:38 James is good at flinging out funny insults Like I can't remember any examples though I just know, though, that that has happened. When? Donut as James is done. Yeah, donut. Yeah, you always used to call us donuts.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I still do. Yeah, you still do. No, you do still do it. It's just part of your vocabulary. You used to do it, and he still does. It's a good one because it's just completely inoffensive, so you can just say it whenever. So it's better to have that than, like, fucking idiot for your default. Everybody wants a donut.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Because, you know, they've got a hole in it. They do it. It's... No, because it's... It's a playful compliment, really. It's like... Everyone wants to fucking munch down on donut. By saying someone's a donut,
Starting point is 00:44:23 it's like, you're desirable. But... You're fucking eating. It's a compliment. Metaphorically, that one falls through, I'm afraid. But it doesn't. I think James' donut one wins, though. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:44:40 But metaphorically, it just doesn't... It doesn't work out. I've done serious ones like I've been aggressive What really trying to like hurt someone No James's biggest insult is to call someone a child Which is just the best Working thing
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah like it really When you say it to someone No it is actually triggered a fucking member member of jar Yeah generally it's actually Honestly It's probably triggered all of us at some point It's never trigger me
Starting point is 00:45:11 No it has When then that there's been times in the fires where it's triggered you no because it is perfect though because if you say it aggressively you are a child it's so demeaning it's so actually like powerful yeah because it also implies that you're the adult you're superior
Starting point is 00:45:32 it's a good one and I do it a lot that's a good one so I told you James had all the best ones I told you he does he's just so overwhelmed with passion Queen of dirt has this to say This one's for James I live in Canada and visited Bristol this summer And I'm blown away at how stressful the road designers Stoplights in roundabouts
Starting point is 00:45:57 And two-way streets so narrow you have to back up If someone comes from the other direction In light of there I'm amazed that James Ever developed a love of driving And also manages to speed without dying James, what are your driving secrets and have you ever driven in another country? Um...
Starting point is 00:46:16 I'll say they went to Bristol. Well yeah, if you... Bristol is one only shit for just the rights. Any light city. It's so bad. London, they're all horrendous. Yeah, because they're all so old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Like, these were designed before people even use vehicles. Yeah, horse and car at best. There's loads of one-way streets everywhere and it's just a nightmare. Swindon, we always talk about Swindon. Yes, no, Swindon's not bad. Actually isn't bad. the layout is bad yeah it's the worst thing it makes no sense it's shit what your secrets what's your secrets are driving live in the country living the country one but
Starting point is 00:46:55 the most important thing isn't you should never ever get in a car with any emotion like never get in a car sad upset angry just don't ever do that because it changes the way you think and the way you react to things right yeah and that means that you'll get in a crash Right now, every person who gets in a crash is normally has a lot of intense emotions before, after. That's why they get in the crash. You're more erratic, yeah. Just don't ever, it's like if you know,
Starting point is 00:47:24 so one thing I've learned, because this happened to me three times, every time I've got in a vehicle when I've been like trying to, I'm like late for work. Yeah. But I'm not thinking straight because I'm just like, I need to get to work. I'm rushing. I crash. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Happen every time. So it's like, doesn't matter. If you're really upset, if you're really upset, If you're really fuming, don't get in that car, don't get on a bike. Take a minute and actually calm down and then do it. Because at the end of day, that could actually be a difference between actually dying in that car that day or not. You can even make it like a therapeutic thing where like your car is in a sense, you're like Zen zone. You're not allowed.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Yeah, like a meditation area where you're not allowed to. Because I don't get road rage. No, I don't. I've never like shouted at anyone or like I've never honked my horn at anyone either. haven't been on the road that long but I've had chances where I could have but I haven't so far
Starting point is 00:48:18 just don't because you know people will cut in traffic and you just don't react you're just like okay if they say thank you you just don't have emotion with it and you'll drive better and then you won't get involved in accidents or get into road wage have you ever driven in another country
Starting point is 00:48:37 I drove in Portugal but how was that compared to the UK Southern Europe is Oh they drive different It's like in England If someone steps on the way people stop Yeah If you step into Portugal people aren't going to stop
Starting point is 00:48:53 They'll hit you at 60 Is that just a Europe thing Because it's the same when I was in Greece Like the way they drive is just mental Yeah They don't care It's like if you just pull out They're going to fucking smack you
Starting point is 00:49:03 They're not going to stop You have to I can only compare it to riding a motorbike here Because riding a motorbike you've got to wide aggressively because otherwise you'll get hit you've got to like predict everything and be on the move that's what it's like in Spain and Portugal
Starting point is 00:49:18 but they're in cars and everyone's doing it yeah it's it's hectic and it's fucking stressful because you're just like this is not white yeah because it's so kind of civilite civilized what to you is the correct side of the road to drive on whatever side the car's on in that country
Starting point is 00:49:35 for example so you think it's just based on the car and the country yeah because Because if you take a car from Europe, it's here. Obviously, the steering was going to be the other side. So then the way the mirrors work on where cars are going to be a road, you're not going to see properly because you're on the other way. It's always the...
Starting point is 00:49:53 We drive our cars the way our roads designed, so it doesn't matter. It's all the same. Right, okay. And what about, like, what's your country you most want to drive in? If you had to pick one, aside from the UK. that's really difficult you gotta pick one before we move on
Starting point is 00:50:16 Germany no speed limits not in the whole country just that one famous bit of road right yeah is it called autobahn the auto barn
Starting point is 00:50:29 yeah are there lots of crashes on it yeah and then they do crash it's like the fucking police there have special cars just for people who speed there because it's just like we've got to catch them so crazy
Starting point is 00:50:49 and on the subject of the cars you did go in a new car actually this week yeah you sort it out didn't you yeah and uh it's it does things quite fast it can it can move god damn it can move this thing really moves this thing really moves it's kind of scary how quickly it can do things
Starting point is 00:51:08 and it's just like this is Not right for cars. Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to be as ridiculous. As talky. Yeah. What's the model for those listening? It's a Mazda Free MPS or Mazda Speed Free for Americans. So it's not something you'd look at and think it was capable of.
Starting point is 00:51:28 No, really. Because it looks normal. It's like you've probably seen them and you don't realize they exist. And then it's like, this car's 12 years old. It is as fast as cars coming up today. then it's 100% unique because I can literally go to IKEA fit a fucking sofa in it and just be really fast
Starting point is 00:51:49 that's part of the that's what I like about that that model of car you've attached yourself to it's so boring it's like a boring like considered like grandpa's car like a nice safe thing and James has taken it and he's like modified it to mean there's been used it mechanical beast so funny to me Driving is great though
Starting point is 00:52:11 You sure is getting to driving The Real Zad has one for us What is your opinion on the show Brooklyn 9-9 You've mentioned it before But I don't know Each member's individual thoughts Jim, you're pretty keen on it
Starting point is 00:52:27 Uh Yeah, it's fine Jim likes it the least probably I'd say out of the three of us here I sort of reluctantly enjoy it. Why reluctantly though? It does have qualities. It has qualities but it also has massive non-qualities. It took me such a long time to get used to the cutaway style with the k-thing. Like it was so like corny and like distracting to me at first. But also just
Starting point is 00:52:58 the way the camera is used is so obnoxious. Yeah it is. It constantly does this thing where it's like, it's like a handheld intense zoom in. And then it zooms in. And then it zooms in. And And then it does the same again. And then somebody says, he had a bagel, and then it zooms in. It's like laugh now. Yeah, it's like a laugh track, but visual. I prefer it over a laugh track, though.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Oh, yeah. Much prefer it. What? I think, I don't know, people are probably going to disagree. I think if you watch, like, a whole season of it, or any comedy, so for that matter, in one hit, I think you ruin it for yourself. You reckon that's the only way I've ever watched it.
Starting point is 00:53:38 don't think they suit that. I'd say that makes it better. It's good, it's, it's, it's not good as something to, like, really sink your teeth into. I always normally, like, watch a season of it when I'm doing something else. Yeah, that's what I mean. It's, like, because I'm not sure it fully deserves my attention, my full attention at all times. Because there are some, like, really, that's like, really daytime TV family's shit sometimes. It's like, all right, whatever.
Starting point is 00:54:08 You're going for the cute, like, family values shit. It's like that... It's like that sort of... Like, there was that show The Middle, you know? Where it's, like, just totally harmless. Yeah. But it's just better, slightly better than that. Where it will make you, or make me laugh every now and again.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Yeah, because it has some, like, consistently funny characters. Like, for me, the main, like, police chief guy. What's his face? he's my favorite, he's the most consistently funny one to me, he's got like a good gimmick. But like the way I've always seen it is like these American comedies of like the same sort of group of people that like collaborate and write a lot. They started with the American office, which is like really good. Then the next one was Parks and Rec, which is good, but nowhere near as good as the office. And then after that was Brooklyn 9-9.
Starting point is 00:55:06 and again there was a decline in quality a little bit and then again to the good place which I just I don't find funny at all so I don't really watch it's weird that you'd hope to see the opposite just to graduate I think part of it is a genuinely a cultural thing though too whereas like I think certain British people
Starting point is 00:55:26 like this really dry and hopeless like atmosphere like your peep shows like the office where they're like like so pathetic and so dark in a way where like that's what we find funny like we're so sucked of like
Starting point is 00:55:45 life that's what's entertaining to us. It's poking fun at the the voids, the awful moments. Yeah. It's like it makes it better. Yeah. It makes shit think it's better. It's a bit more honest to me as opposed to like pretending.
Starting point is 00:56:04 I don't know it's like a balance because there are some like genuine moments in Brooklyn 9-9 and there are also some like forced not-earned fake ones I've seen it I enjoy it but I would say if I had an option I'd put on Always Sunny instead oh yeah yeah no doubt sorry sunny is much better much more cleverer there's also some like weird things
Starting point is 00:56:32 they like push into the show sometimes yeah it's just like why is that relevant to this right now and it's annoying when it's very like um when it's not the purpose of the episode there's no discussion it's just his an opinion of the writer said through one of the characters yeah that's great which always sunny never does yeah it always just poses a question really yeah it's a thing about using your characters like are you trying to use them as a way to speak through as like a writer or are you trying to and both can be good in different instances i guess i just don't think it's very well done this actually fits into this other
Starting point is 00:57:17 question which we'll end on abortion with legs uh so what dumb american comedy do you actually enjoy if any always sunny always sunny is an obvious answer i like south park a lot i like um family guy yeah i do i watch the new rick and morty and it was like Oh, yeah, this is why I liked this show. Like, they kind of reeled it back a bit, and they were, like, really suitably, like, self-aware about the expectations that have been part in them. I enjoyed that first episode.
Starting point is 00:57:51 As far as not animated, though, well, yeah, I like the American Office a lot. I like... I do like Parks and Rec, bits of it. It can be quite annoying to me. Just with that, like, intense, like, positivity of some American... In some of the way they write the characters
Starting point is 00:58:08 Just say, oh my God Just give me a break I can't deal with this Yeah A lot of them are shit That I watch like this new American comedy That came out called like the good boys Or some shit or good boys
Starting point is 00:58:24 Really not good Do you know who's good boys? Jarl Media Thank you yes Yeah you're right Let's pat ourselves on the back Yeah I watch Jal Media You guys got any
Starting point is 00:58:36 before we end the episode? Brooklyn 9-9. Um, Blackadder. That famous American smash it. So yeah, that's been the episode 1-9. What's it? Four?
Starting point is 00:58:47 Three, two, one. Da-da-da-la-da-la-da. A-Fra-da-da-a-a-haffle-a. Aphal psychas. Probably should have time that with it actually ending because we still got a bit of time. Oh, we can just sit here for a moment.
Starting point is 00:59:00 You know what we should date? We can just sit here for a moment. Yeah. A moment to relax. and have a breath. Yes. Yeah, let's just not try to be entertaining or like incredibly fucking funny or something like that. Dude, it drains me, dude.
Starting point is 00:59:17 It drains me, dude. Especially with the intense pressure knowing that episodes, well, there's some grand episode coming in the future for Soiton. If you've got to prepare for that, we're going to give them a right, get old. Bolicking. Bollicking. Give me a bollocks and a whizzeribum. Speaking of bollum.
Starting point is 00:59:36 so I think I'm fairly bollocks right now. Bullocked. Well, thanks for enjoying. If you did. Should we order some pizza? Or should we, do we fancy a curry? My dad made a curry. Bro.
Starting point is 00:59:51 It's fucking delicious. It's midnight. Fuck you. It's like half 12. That's what caffeine does to you. mate I ain't got no lie mate I don't have any stop trying to get it
Starting point is 01:00:11 ah I better go home I got fucking feed him I fed him I fed him what
