Is it called that just because it's where you normally sit?
Starting point is 00:03:41 I did consider, especially in the old setup, with the sofa and the single seat, it felt like there was a host seat. Yeah. We'd change it up, but this doesn't seem like it really matters aside. from just like the height elevation really yeah true it does it does give you a an air of superiority being higher do you like it out there um is it getting to your head a little bit it is it is getting to my head i don't know if that's the lack of oxygen we might revolt from down here yeah like do a little yeah i've got to be in control people relax everything's going to be fine speaking of um controlling people it's the british election very soon

Yeah. Yeah, like this old school detective, which is like the Sherlock Cup on. I could see the garden dirt under his fingernails. So, um, this episode is sponsored by The Geek Cave for all of your, by the way.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Yeah, so everybody check out the Geek Cave. Bro, I'm not even joking. This is the latest drama. You know? The geek cave. You know, we briefly mentioned last week, like, ads have started playing on the Spotify audio versions. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:23 Um... The last episode... Uh-huh. These ads, I guess, are just inserted. And this happened, okay? I'm just going to play some more today. Do you remember a little guy by the name of Osama bin Laden? Hey, I'm Darren.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Hey, Chad. And we're from... The Geek game. Oh, yeah, that's Kansas. We've got great stuff for you if you're into video games, comics, or movies, including deep dives on really weird characters. Bruce took an oath to rid the city of crime after the death of his parents. Since criminals are cowardly, he uses his fear of fishing lures to strike fear into criminals' hearts. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Reviews of video games that just made me want to pull what was left of my hair out. Classic tale of boy meets girl, girl inadvertently opens a hole in the fabric of time and space. in movie reviews that may or may not become musical movie reviews Hey This movie's more than just okay I mean it's no citizen cane But I will watch watch it over Wells don't get the same for me
Starting point is 00:12:32 So be sure to check us out on all of your favorite podcast services Just search for The Geek Cave podcast You can also find us on social media and Whoa Check out the Geat Cave Dude That timing no because so many people like wrote in saying
Starting point is 00:12:53 I thought this was like an intentional bit and I was listening intently thinking it was like a bit like you'd put in and people like post on this subreddit and I just left me comment like I just woke up and saw this and I've been like scream laughing because it's just so ridiculous
Starting point is 00:13:12 so absurd yeah our first sponsor at least they understand our humor they do maybe we should try and see if we can be a guest on the geek cave yeah talk about bin Laden on the geek cave
Starting point is 00:13:28 well speaking of that a few people left comments about this like sit like lemon who said the movie where in the world is Osama bin Laden actually concluded that Osama was likely in the tribal areas of Pakistan he was probably freaking out watching that and had to put on chicken little to calm down
Starting point is 00:13:46 We also mentioned Rupert Grint at some point Which Rain Roy said hello gamers first time posting here But after listening to the recent episode I knew I had to tell my experience with Rupert Grint I value mine and his His privacy so locations will be mentioned It was around six years ago so the details are a little foggy I used to work in a tech department store
Starting point is 00:14:11 And one day he visited with his dad They went straight to the TV section which I was working on at the time and started to inquire about 32-inch TVs. My colleague assisted them. Around 20 minutes later, he left with around 10 of them. It was like Black Friday. This occurred again the next year. I wondered to what he would do with these.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Maybe it was to relieve his memories on his time acting as his famous role of Alan A. Alan in the critically loved Rotten Tomatoes movie, sorry, 61% Rotten Tomatoes movie Thunderpants. It was either that where he was constructing the largest goon to make me immortals bow down to his godlike aura well it turns out in recent years
Starting point is 00:14:51 he's been trying to construct a Hogsmead-style village off his estate take that as what you will but yes he's doing well it seems Hogsmead yeah isn't that where they go and like drink butter beer
Starting point is 00:15:04 I don't know why I did the American thing yeah it was very butter beer one butter beer please three butter beer for me thanks is that is that what they call about I don't know. I've never heard of this. What the hell is Hogsmead?
Starting point is 00:15:20 What's where you go to get butter beer? Can I have one butter beer, please? Did you just invent butter beer? What the fuck is butter beer? It feels like it's in Harry Potter. Yeah, it does. We use magical essences to make the butter taste like beer. Butter-O-Sia!
Starting point is 00:15:40 Butter beer fear. I'm anchored on the butter beer. Hurry, let's get wankered. Why does he need so many TVs for Butterbeer Village, though? I don't know, unless, like, maybe he's just buying TVs for everyone in the village, just to be a chill guy. Or he's got some, like, crazy, you know, the end of the dark night, like, all the screens and, like... He's watching everyone.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Grint will watch. Yeah, I wonder how much money he got. from that um it was probably like very little for the first one comparatively and then with each one grown and grown and grown yeah it'd probably be like a sickening amount by the end yeah surely yeah yeah because he's he was quite irreplaceable to be honest mm-hmm and once you're attached to like a franchise with so many entries you get more and more valuable as well yeah yeah you know especially with so many entries. It's way more than a trilogy.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Who was that one guy in Harry Potter who got replaced? Because he was like selling drugs. Oh, wasn't it? Like one of Malfoy's... Yeah, he was a slither. Crab and Goyle. It was one of them. He was like a drug dealer.
Starting point is 00:16:56 We got done or something. Yeah, why would you be... Like, surely he was getting money. I don't know, because it's quite a small role. I don't know if he would have been getting the biggest bag for that. But a small role from the age of, like, 10? Yeah. In Harry Potter.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Yeah, speaking, like, lines. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't enough. I mean, uh, actually, no, I don't think Tim Allen was actually in Hollywood yet. When he was, um. He was Coke running. Yeah, buzz light.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yes. Yeah. I want to get that buzz on. Epic PLQNJ says the guy who put the cast on for his office is absolutely wild. I've been with my partner for seven years, nearly as long as I've been watching, and I can't even show her this show. Not Safe for Work doesn't begin to describe the layers of absurdity. May it be a warning to you, bro?
Starting point is 00:17:58 And may it be your morning. I think that's brutal. To us, you mean? Yeah. No. What? No. You think he's right?
Starting point is 00:18:09 No? Yes. No. Don't you just have anything in your life that's just for you? Well, yeah. Your own thing. Yeah. Your own thingy that you don't need to describe to anyone. You don't need to explain yourself.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah, not everything needs sharing, but... Hmm. I don't think you should be, like, hiding in the bathroom, listen to... To this. No, but I'm just saying take it as a warning for, uh... In a social situation of someone's like... let's put something on for the group and you don't really know them that well
Starting point is 00:18:43 it might be an idea to put on the weekend or something what if it's Wednesday that's the best day to do it right then all of his songs include Wednesday Thursday and Friday
Starting point is 00:19:01 and I'll end this segment on this one from Cohen Buzig I swear I remember you guys discussing the fact Bin Laden had charge bit my finger on his laptop a few years ago. Maybe. I'm sure he did. He had some big SSDs or some shit.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I'm sure it was somewhere in the compound. All the classics, you know? Crazy Frog. You know, that animated bird that like... Oh, my God. Remember that tweety bird? No, it's not Tweety Bird, but you know what I'm saying? It's a bird that tweets and sings or something.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I don't... Gummy Bear. The one that sings whatever you want? Yeah, Gummy Bear, for sure. Yeah, Gummy Bear Numa Numa Yeah The thing is
Starting point is 00:19:45 If he had Chicken Little Then the bets are off Like the The depravity He was already playing Yeah, the floodgates are open Yeah
Starting point is 00:19:55 That sloppy He was slopping around him Yeah, he would have anything Dyer If he's got that Yeah 100%. Yeah
Starting point is 00:20:02 Well Fair play to the To the fucking lad So I found out the coolest thing ever Yeah I found out the actual coolest thing ever Mm-hmm Nice
Starting point is 00:20:18 Do you know what it takes to be a Raven master No A real job in the UK Yeah Completely real Like a highly respected Like you need to be in the army For like decades to even have a chance
Starting point is 00:20:36 so applying for type role yeah you have to have killed people yeah the raven master is brutal and real people immediately are going to assume that it's not real
Starting point is 00:20:53 but it actually is because like I don't something has happened to me where like I found something about British history kind of like lame. Fun being
Starting point is 00:21:07 real. You know? Kings and queens and funny outfits and wigs and silliness. Nah. It just didn't something about it didn't tickle me. The last couple weeks just something's changed. Something's shifted within
Starting point is 00:21:25 me and now it's the coolest. British history is like the most fascinating thing in my mind. It's pretty bonkers. Yeah. It's just straight up like it's just game of thrones like well game of thrones was literally based on exactly yeah yeah yeah they were they were just being wild yeah but explain this raven thing because like you've you've been dropping this raven thing into like every conversation
Starting point is 00:21:55 i've had with you i'm like what right listen i found out about this job the raven master yeah famously i've never been you've never been live in the Tower of London. One of the most famous buildings in London. Yeah. Which I can't picture right now. But the Tower Ravens, nobody knows when Ravens first came to the Tower of London,
Starting point is 00:22:18 but they've been associated with the Tower for centuries. Legend dictates that if the Ravens ever leave, the Tower will fall and the Kingdom will fail. So Charles II decreed that there must always be at least six Ravens at the Tower. That tradition has been honoured for more than 300 years. Wow. That's cool. What do you think they base that on?
Starting point is 00:22:43 There is, if you're interested, there's a huge Wikipedia article that goes like into where the Raven Law. Yeah, Raven Law, like myth, like that's even earlier than that of like where these kind of concepts come from. There's like a difficult to say term of like the type of history it is or something. But I'm a novice to this realm. so I can't really delve much deeper than that. So what does the Ravenmaster do?
Starting point is 00:23:11 Does he feed them, looks after them, secures them? Like they don't want to leave? Yeah. Is that part of the rules? They are not allowed to leave. They're not allowed to leave, so he has to keep them in there.
Starting point is 00:23:28 They have a wing clipped, so they can't fly further than a certain distance. so they can like fly up to things and get down of things that's a bit unfair but how long do you think a raven in the wild lives I don't know five years in the wild they live from around 10 to 15 years
Starting point is 00:23:49 oh wow in the wild okay but with the help of humans they can live to 45 50 years what yeah I think the oldest one of the because the crown jewels are also the oldest
Starting point is 00:24:05 one of the ravens defend yeah but I think the oldest one of the ravens there got to is like 43 or something wow um yeah so I guess that's the trade off of the clipped wing as you get the you are royal
Starting point is 00:24:21 they go through like all the like process and everything look there's more to read look every individual raven look it will make sense once I read some of this there was a section on World War II specifically in these ravens The first reference to an early version of the legend that Britain will fall if the ravens leave, the tower, comes from July 1944, when ravens were used as unofficial spotters for enemy bombs and planes during the Blitz in World War II.
Starting point is 00:24:47 During the Blitz, all but three of the ravens died from either bombing or stress. The survivors were Grip, his mate Mabel and another raven named Pauline. Mabel and Grip soon disappeared, however. After this, Churchill, then Prime Minister, ordered more ravens to bring the fourth. flock back to the correct size. The Tower Ravens are enlisted as soldiers of the kingdom and were issued attestation cards in the same way as soldiers and police. As with soldiers, they can be dismissed for conduct prodigital to good order and discipline. While visiting the tower in 2003, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, is reported to have been taken aback by the verbal
Starting point is 00:25:29 skills of one of the birds. Thor greeted each person in his entourage. with a good morning. What? Yeah, they can mimic. They're like parrots. Ravens? Yeah, yeah. Corvids can do that.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I think crows can do it too. Oh, this is getting creepy now. There's even more to it. Raven stories has like a section. Londoners tend to be fond of the Ravens, but sometimes an individual bird will fall out of favour because of inappropriate behaviour. For example, Raven George lost his appointment to the crown and was retired to wail
Starting point is 00:26:03 for attacking and destroying TV aerials a special decree was issued about the incident on Saturday the 13th of December 1989 Raven George enlisted 1975 was posted to the Welsh Mountain Zoo Conduct unsatisfactory
Starting point is 00:26:21 service therefore no longer required I love how like official it is In 1996 two more Ravens fell out of favour and were dismissed from the tower for conduct and becoming Tower Residence. Drama. I wonder if they got like a Raven HR department to do with this.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Despite having their flight feathers clipped on one wing, sometimes the Tower Ravens desert their duties. In 1981, Grog the Raven decided to leave the surroundings of the tower for those of a pub. After 21 years of faithful service to the crown. In contrast, a raven named... He was called Grog. He was called Grog. And he left to go to the pub.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Let's go. A legend ravens Yeah In contrast a raven named Mabel was kidnapped from the tower soon after World War II A mystery that has never been solved Another story concerns
Starting point is 00:27:14 The two ravens named James Crow And Edgar Sopper James Crow who was a much loved and long-lived Raven had died After noticing the commotion surrounding the other raven's death Edgar Sopper decided he could play dead In order to bring more attention to himself
Starting point is 00:27:29 His trick was so convincing that the raven master fully believed that Edgar's Sopper had died. When the raven master picked up the corpse, Edgar bit the man's finger and flapped off croaking huge raven laughs. Likewise, Merlin has since been known for eliciting a commotion from visitors by occasionally playing dead. Bro. But it doesn't even end there. It gets crazier.
Starting point is 00:27:55 These ravens are up to no good. In 1990, a chaplain named Norman Hood died in his chamber. on the tower grounds. Former assistant raven master Tom Trent has reported that the ravens appeared to be aware of the death for they soon gathered on the tower green near the chapel called out and then became quiet as though to pay their respects. Corvids have been widely reported to hold funerals in which they mourn and then cluster around a dead bird in silence. Dinosaur dinosaurs descended from these or the other way around sorry. They descended from dinosaurs. dinosaurs. There were definitely
Starting point is 00:28:33 dinosaur societies. Do you think so? Definitely. Doesn't that make them so much scary? They had dinosaur buildings and stuff. Where do you even begin picking this apart? Like this
Starting point is 00:28:47 is the coolest thing I've ever heard? Yeah. I mean I always knew COVIDs were like special. They got something behind those eyes. They do. They do. People underestimate them. I don't like
Starting point is 00:29:01 people treat them yeah see them as like filth or a pest i guess i guess they're a pest to like farmers and stuff and scarecrows um but yeah those those birds be thinking mm-hmm they be problem solving yeah they think in all manner of ways and hearing that about funerals yeah well you know elephants do that like a bunch of animals do have that behavior um we just always assume we're above and we're just so much more complex yeah but they just everything i hear about like every species it it kind of just boils down to like we ain't shit you know well like we're at least on the same level yeah we shouldn't see ourselves as above yeah yeah yeah i guess we ain't shit is doing them dirty because they are just because they like
Starting point is 00:29:58 express, they've just evolved to do a different thing. Yeah. And they're really good at that thing. And just because we can't communicate that same thing. And Ravens are really good at talking to Russians. True. You know they're big too, Ravens. Yeah, they are big birds.
Starting point is 00:30:16 They're enormous. I don't think I've ever seen one. But now I'm like, I kind of want to go. They're all over the place. Really? Yeah. I might have seen one. I often mistake Ravens for crows.
Starting point is 00:30:26 yeah I'm trying to learn all the corvids yeah because it's like millions I think ravens have a less scary sound than crows yeah I don't know what a raven like call even is so yeah neither do I
Starting point is 00:30:43 yeah I don't know anything about ravens apart from that well clearly I need to know more because this is hype is this a job you would strive for if I didn't have to do all the bit before had you had you known
Starting point is 00:30:56 from like a younger age and it would give you like a life goal. Do you think you would have aimed for this? There is a big problem with being the Ravenmaster though. You got to wear the dumbest looking outfit you've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Oh, I assumed it was going to be badass. Like that's what you picture, right? Do you remember that show Raven? Yeah, if it looked like that then yes, yes. I'll see if I can find you a picture. I think they're run by the beef eaters. like the gin no their name
Starting point is 00:31:29 the gin is named after the people um how did they name that because they were like paid in beef oh okay um I take my pay in beef if I yeah
Starting point is 00:31:44 why does this always happen like I gotta go on Chrome but there's like it's just decided to update Chrome right now it's it's like fake news it's trying to hide it doesn't want you to see the raven master yeah I feel like this is something that we should
Starting point is 00:32:01 that every British person should know how yeah I bet I bet you there are people that travel from the other side of the world to see these ravens well they literally do when our uncle from Australia came here they went to see the jewels really which were yeah oh the jewels yeah but they're in the in the tower where the ravens are
Starting point is 00:32:19 well they're like oh there's a lot of ravens around Yeah, I just didn't it just wasn't interesting to me For some reason Why would you come up with the concept of like or if if there's less than this many birds in this place? We're fucked. Why would you come up with that? Like I feel like you're asking for it Um It's kind of like a myth. It's a But there's also this like ceremony and dedication
Starting point is 00:32:51 attached to it as well like it's taken really seriously highly trained military people are attached to it there's all this like legality attached to it and like due process um I don't know there is something like cool there is something undeniably extremely cool about that yeah I feel like it would have been cooler way back when I think it's cooler now the older it is the cooler right yeah I just yeah I don't know I feel like there's an of goof to it as well well yeah especially when that's what you got to wear oh oh my goodness see wearing that though back in the day people would be like yeah yeah let me get some of that mm-hmm you know i wish i was that guy but yeah it's too the hat is too much it's kind of like a top
Starting point is 00:33:41 hat kind of look like a like a steampunk cosplay or something yeah um yeah yeah With the black and the red, like, redesign it. Let's modernize this, you know. Or make it look older. See, I was picturing like a plague doctor type. Ooh, yeah. And have, like, raven feathers as like a clunk. You know, like a gothic kind of.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Yeah. Maybe keep the hat. Just make it taller. Yeah. Skinnier. You know? Give him a cane. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:21 With a blade in it People used to call James Crow It was supposed to be an insult But that's just Kind of a cool nickname to me Crow Yeah
Starting point is 00:34:29 You know Yeah I mean They're awesome birds Yeah I guess we'll see you After these cacaws Car Caw
Starting point is 00:34:42 Caw Blimey Yeah Co Blimey Is that where that comes from Yeah Bye bear Bear, buy Bear Bear Bear.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I do declare buy Bear Bear Bear. Bear shirts and mug available now. Check the description below. Yeah. Welcome back to the second half of the Jar Jar. This is where we go over to the Jaridia. Jaridia. We had done the Jar Jar in so long.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm sure some of those are outdated. But this is the section of the show where we go over to Reddit. over to Reddit at Ask Lastjar Media, where people put questions and we go, huh? We look for the vein and we find the Redditors and we just, you know? Redditors come out of the woodwork, will you? I'm having to sit like a, like some sort of a... Billy?
Starting point is 00:35:42 Um, let's get this going then with this one from Schmatt 779. Gamers, hello, I have a question. With the topic of Mad Max being relevant again, how would each one of you customize your war rig? How would you make it deadly? How would you use old world parts to make it something new? What would be its general theme? Thanks. The dairy land, jarling.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Dairy? I've really got mine. The milk jarling. I'm thinking about like the solar panel electric car like squad. You know? Yeah, I guess that's a deterrent. of its own because like nobody will go for you you've got no resource
Starting point is 00:36:23 you've got no gas to take you can only move when you're on the panels and then stop wait 24 hours and then have the 10 meters I feel like you could do some funny stuff
Starting point is 00:36:36 it would have to be very lightweight if you've wanted it to like I'm picturing like the frame of a car with like almost wings of solar panels that like power them um We need to get inventive, you know
Starting point is 00:36:52 Yeah, that's a pretty cool idea So my head immediately goes to more like Classic Mad Max stuff, but Is this also Mad Max in the UK or Mad Max? I'm thinking in Australia. Okay. Because it's like a desert, it's like constantly sunny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I feel like that makes sense. Hmm. What about weaponry? They'd have to be like electricity-based, I feel like, You know, it's all about, like, batteries and charging and solar power. So, like, tasers. Maybe, like, uh... Like, um, cattle prods.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, rechargeable cattle prods. Yeah. Uh... What's your gimmick? Hmm. You could be an offshoot of one of the already existing ones. You're a new... I'm trying to think what you can what you can use that's just around so I feel like
Starting point is 00:37:58 Mad Max doesn't really use modern stuff it's still like if the world ended in the yeah true true um have they done anything of like bigger vehicles like trains buses There is a train, if I'm remembering correctly, in Thunderdome. Oh, really? That's the one-out scene, so. See, taking the British element, double-decker bus. A double-deck could be cool. Get that thing rigged up.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Yeah. Like, for those who haven't been in a double-decker bus, like, you could... They are huge. You could really kit one out. Like, for an apocalypse, you could have, like, mounted machine guns. Yeah, yeah. You could really get creative. creative with that.
Starting point is 00:38:48 It would almost be like a, like a, a, a battlement thing. Like a... Yeah. Like a moving forward operating pace. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Okay. Have a few spikes on there. A few solar panels, if you will. I feel like that's... That's interesting. I don't think I care about Mad Max if it's not in Australia. I think for me to care it has to be in a show
Starting point is 00:39:19 It doesn't It legit doesn't work anywhere else Yeah It's so like ingrained in its identity Yeah I'm not interested in the apocalypse outside of it Yeah Yeah I mean what can you even do
Starting point is 00:39:31 With other than like the 28 days later style of Postapocalyptic Britain There's really not much You can do with Yeah because one makes Australia so interesting is how uninhabitable most of it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:49 So it's already kind of post-apocalyptic. Or pre, like, it's just forever apocalypse. But why is it like, there are deserts in plenty of places in the world. Why is it specifically Australia? It's the accent, it's like the energy. Yeah, I think energy, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, I think a double-decker bus would be sick.
Starting point is 00:40:14 you could get like motorbikes in there like motorbikes that like come out of a double decker bus or something yeah or on top with like ramps you ramp off the front minis that drive at the back of a double decker yeah get really breastish with it yeah
Starting point is 00:40:32 like um suicide bomber minis or something yeah yeah maybe like crossbows that shoot stale scones mm yeah you know concussive non-lethal the scone farms that would be powering all the the British offshoots yeah it could be like yeah
Starting point is 00:40:58 how about like a little British enclave that just somehow is in Australia you know yeah some British tourists it's like a yeah British Museum because of course Australia being yeah part of the empire or whatever yeah could use muskets and stuff there you go I'm pretty sure there are there are muskets in in Fury Road there's the part where Max shoots someone with a musket that's like part loaded with the stick in it because you got like jam yeah yeah yeah blast I think it's time I rewatch that movie I think it's calling for me dude it's so fire I the thing is you
Starting point is 00:41:34 can't get more creative than George Miller will it like it just it's his thing it's his baby it's his world the little subtlety I love from Fury road his his like what do you call it his muzzle yeah like a dog has when he's like captured it's made out of a trowel yeah like just that tiny
Starting point is 00:41:55 detail is like something recognisable like fixed and something and I wouldn't have noticed it had it not been pointed out but like everything in that world is like that yeah it all follows that rule yeah yeah yeah you you'd have to sit down and just like
Starting point is 00:42:11 really hash out these ideas which I'm sure they do speaking of hashing out ideas pill and face says why does Alex screenshot the questions instead of just going on the question thread do you know the answer to this do you know why I to get good ones I like reading them first in some form
Starting point is 00:42:31 so I have some idea yeah yeah and having a selection that like I've filtered once already um people I think I've mentioned it before I like OCD like store them the unused ones
Starting point is 00:42:46 so I've got like say how many pages I've got like hundreds of pages basically of like unused questions just like every now and again like if there's a week
Starting point is 00:42:57 with a thread like sucks or something I can just pluck a couple from um I've been saving that's the main reason it's just for saving them
Starting point is 00:43:06 so I don't have to constantly be going to different threads and whatnot um um Yeah, nothing too deep on that one. Let's do this one from Gremie Jame. Hingle-eyed low.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Hello. Jadge Boys, to expand upon something from last episode. I've just started working in a good old British pub with some good old British boys. And coincidentally, I was probed for my thoughts on national service by a miserable old bag. It went something like this from my recollection. I go up to this guy and his missus, the old ball and chain, to take their plates. He asked me if I think joining the National Service would teach me how to stand up straight. He went on to say that this generation is filled with a bunch of bloody wets.
Starting point is 00:43:55 When he started implying I was a wet, all I could do is laugh and walk away mumbling sweet nothings of agreement with him. This guy had an empty stare that looked as if he'd been sure of himself for his whole life. his features simple and round reminded me of a potato smiler his cheeks I thought that was really fucking funny his cheeks slightly reddened in the face of comfort
Starting point is 00:44:20 I see flaws in the logic of these people they say the country will never be what it once was I assume this means that there is nothing worth fighting for that if there was something to fight for we would be misguided what is the goal that we should be led astray blindly doing what we can for the better
Starting point is 00:44:37 of something already misaligned. I personally am ashamed of many things about Britain. I don't think National Service is a satisfactory answer to anything or anyone, but bitter, elderly people, thoughts, yours, Gremie Jame. P.S. Thoughts on pearly, penile papuels. Jesus, Grammy. That's a lot there, huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:00 So what are our thoughts on National Service? On penile pap peopules. Um, yeah, I mean, some people got them some people don't I guess I just that level of like you know this generation is filled with a bunch of bloody wets yeah the generation before them would have said the same thing oh yeah I mean like that's isn't that just part for the course like any generation following the ones fighting in World War II yeah but about like even the...
Starting point is 00:45:37 Like, how do you follow that up? Yeah, what are we supposed to do? Well, you want us to get in a world war? Yeah. That's the only way to prove yourself as like a valuable member of society is to like put your life on the line for your country? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Yeah. Let's fight then. Yeah. Let's go die in a muddy hole for people who... Let's get tricked into a trench. Yeah. I think things have changed now, though. I feel like there would be more pushback if, like, a bunch of different countries tried to instill this.
Starting point is 00:46:15 I think it depends. Obviously, it depends on, like, the circumstance of the world if there might be an event that actually requires it, like, you know. I don't think there'd be that much pushback if people started being conscripted into going to Ukraine. I think so. Yeah, I think people would see that as a just cause. I think if they started taking on like 13 year olds again then people might say something Like you know what you're doing you cheeky
Starting point is 00:46:45 Yeah You cheeky generals Lime about your age and all that Yeah But like national service I can see it um giving Like to be perfectly honest It could have been good for me
Starting point is 00:46:59 To get some sort of direction and like Discipline is I think A good skill you pick up from the military And it gives you the option Once you do the allotted time You can either stay in it Or Go and do
Starting point is 00:47:15 So you're all for it now You want it I don't want it I mean it doesn't affect me So I That's kind of the key of why it bugs me It's like the people with the strongest opinions Are the ones that doesn't affect
Starting point is 00:47:27 So like of course You've got nothing on the line So like Yeah but it's not like You get brought in And then just sent somewhere to go and die Yeah, yeah, of course. It's not quite like that.
Starting point is 00:47:38 And I'm pretty sure the option is there. Like, it's either you join the military or do some sort of community service. Which again... Or like pay a fine or something? You know, like pay? Oh, so rich people. It doesn't affect rich people, right. Yeah, I'm not entirely in agreement with that.
Starting point is 00:47:58 But I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Well, I guess we're struggling in this country right now. We're trying to find like a bind. agent for like everyone um with we feel like so like disparate yeah like we're so like splintered um i guess that's what he's trying to sell with it but it's like the the wrong time no one believes it and like also like the infrastructure isn't there to implement it straight away like if you're going to take literally every person turning 18 and put them into the military like we're not equipped for that.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Right. Yeah. And it's like a desperate attempt to try and address these numbers of like no one signing up. Yeah. But, you know, you reap what you sow. Yeah, exactly. And I think there is something to not feeling like your country has always done the right thing. Like the last
Starting point is 00:49:08 war we were in, being Iraq and stuff. We engaged with all of... Like who is for that now in like retrospect? Yeah. Yeah. Because we were lied to. Yeah. They straight face lied to us. Straight up, yeah, yeah. And
Starting point is 00:49:25 you know, it doesn't really leave you thinking you know what? It doesn't give you trust in you. No, yeah. Uh... Mm-hmm. But I don't know. Let the people who it's going to affect decide. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:49:40 I guess on kind of a similar note. Simple zucchini 44. Have the jar boys ever had any sort of desire or plans to leave the UK? Whether it be for study or work or even jumping ship, so to speak. If not, what might cause you to GTFO? Uh... If the Tories won this election, maybe. Maybe I'd consider it.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I'd never say something quite like that. Like the people he was saying like, right, time to move to Canada now that Trump is in. None of them did. Don't lie. I'd like to... It was always like my plan in my head to go and live in New Zealand purely because, like, I can.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah. my dream was um chase summer because of course it's inverse in new zealand so have six months in new zealand and six months here so then you never have to have a winter yeah that was kind of my the only time i've really thought about that kind of thing yeah that would be awesome yeah but um so shame is just so far and expensive that's the thing it's the price like it's quite hard to to move to a place so far away. It's more than quite hard. It's extremely hard, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Yeah. But saying that, like, our parents did when it was much harder. And we were babies. Yeah, yeah. There's that, and before then, like, you couldn't communicate with your family every weekend. There'd be letters in the post. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:32 social media. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. The only time I've, like, really thought about it is in terms of just, like, just wishing for more sun. Yeah. I feel like that really does affect the overall mood of a country, you know? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Like, when you're in Italy or Spain or whatever, there's just this sort of feeling about it, you know? More of a carefree type thing, whereas I feel like there's a stuffiness. So, like, oh, here we go. Sort of, like, feeling. in the UK that's like directly linked to that lack of vitamin D. Yeah. Yeah, why would I fight for a country that rains all the time?
Starting point is 00:52:12 It's only getting rainier. Yeah. But as far as like escaping, I don't think there's anything that could realistically happen to make me be like, right, it's time to pat the bags, I got, I need to get out. Um, nothing. No. Nothing ever. ever. What, what? Like if they were like, well, the nuke's been launched
Starting point is 00:52:35 what if it's coming to London? What if like it was a hypothetical dictatorship where they were like, everyone called Jamie, we're going to bloody go for. Well, that's why I said nothing that realistically could happen. I can't really see that. Crazy things have happened, bro. We were just talking about the Raven Master. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:51 The Ravenmaster decides that all Jamies have got to go. He sends the Ravens after with the James. That would be terrifying. And you've got to like get out of the country. Yeah, well, maybe then, but how would I go? You know? I feel like I'd be picked up by a raven on security at the airport, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah, I'd have to boat over it. Swim there, like David Walliams or whatever. Yeah, I'm no David Wally. Swim to France and start your new journey running from the Ravens. But they'll be able to fly faster, unless they got their wings. You got skills, you know? You got, like, abilities to hide from them? Like what? How do you hide from a raven?
Starting point is 00:53:35 Cloaks, cloaks and daggers, I'd say. Yeah, smack and mirrors. Funny fart, 89 says, I'm simply here to inform you of something important. Okay. You keep pronouncing the jazz artist, Miles Davis as Miles Davies. I teach music, it's very much Miles Davis, like, Dave is, not Davies. Be cultured and goon on. sorry
Starting point is 00:54:02 I like Miles Davies Yeah I like Mars Davies Davies Davy Davies Davides Davides
Starting point is 00:54:13 Mark Mars Davidis My Les Davydies My Les Davids Yeah You know His classic tracks Such as
Starting point is 00:54:22 Another one Another one Um Mr Blue Pumpkin says this Thoughts on the recent Xbox showcase, and specifically Gears of War. I actually quite like the direction Gears 5 was going, but I can see why they did a prequel for the OG characters. Still, it's a shame we won't be getting a continuation of the narrative for a good long while now,
Starting point is 00:54:44 although going back to the bleak art style of the original was a massive plus. Agreed. 100%. I thought like, I looked at all the announcements. Sorry, you say what you were saying. In terms of the Xbox showcase, I've seen nothing else, and I don't care to. Fuck Xbox. um as far as a showcase it was pretty decent actually as far as like what they were revealed and like doom looked really good and
Starting point is 00:55:08 yeah uh gears of war the only one i really cared about was yeah doom and gears though um yeah yeah gears looks sick i i love the uh the the mad world yeah bringing that go back the tone it's like sad and miserable and gray. Yeah, but you know the game's gonna be goofier. Mm. No, I was thinking about, I was really thinking about this the other day, and I guess it's been on my mind because of this trailer. How underappreciate Gears of War is for a start, how sort of ahead of its time, and just how good it is? Yeah. Like, why is Gears of War so good?
Starting point is 00:55:52 What is the deal? That tone, it's one of my favorite tones. Yeah. When you can have the goofy giant worm, one second. and then the saddest death scene you've ever seen and it's like, and it's somehow work. It's like heartfelt and genuine. Like there's something real about it.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Yeah. I think, um, I think part of it is actual, what do they call it, focus testing? Focus testing. I think it's focus testing done right. For which? What do you mean? For gays.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Like, that's how they, they struck it. Because I know for a fact, um, the, I assume you're talking about the Maria death scene. Spoilers. I was actually talking about the one in three. Oh, okay. No, because the giant worm is in two. But some people, I think most people, maybe even,
Starting point is 00:56:45 think Maria's death scene is like, they didn't do it right, you know? Like, it came out of left field, like, tonally is weird against the... Yeah. Yeah. But I think it, for me, I don't know if it's just the age, like, Geys of War ironically is like nostalgia for a lot of people. It was a lot of people's childhoods where they're chainsawing. Yeah. People in half. Um, no, because it has this, that's what kind of what I love about it, it has this reputation as this like broie shooter when actually if you really analyzed it, you could like, if it came out now, you can make the case that it's like woke or whatever, you know? Like look how diverse the cast is Three had like two female characters in protagonist positions
Starting point is 00:57:35 Mm-hmm But like no one cared Like it wasn't even like a discussion Um yeah Yeah 100% But it It's got like a weirdly good plot I think it's the characters
Starting point is 00:57:51 Dude And the performances When I When I like Dom has nothing Really his character is in the first game he has nothing in the first game and then the second game his only thing is like hmm I wonder where my wife is yeah that's his whole character that gives him a big thing yeah and then but but suddenly when she like crops up it's like oh shit and then his that that scene rocks bro what when that's it like I've rewatched it the other day the Maria scene yeah that's what I'm saying it's it's like the acting like the the and even the die where he's like, I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:58:31 I don't know what to do, man. I don't know what to do, man. Yeah, they really fucking sell it. And also like the scene you were saying, when Dom goes, again, spoilers, um, and the fact is tied, though, to the, um,
Starting point is 00:58:47 the scene in two, though. Yeah, yeah. And he, like, looks up and he's like, like, did you see it? And then the Mabweil theme. Yeah. Then the Mabweil theme. Yeah. And then the close up on, uh, Dom, no! Yeah, but the way he delivers it.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Yeah, yeah. He sells that shit. No, because I watch that scene again too. It's him, uh-huh. That scene's in my rotation, like, Braithwaite Manor and just like, all these things I love. Yeah, it's, like, it sends shivers down my spine now. Yeah, yeah. Like, how did they do that?
Starting point is 00:59:17 And then the next, the next chapter, you meet iced tea. That is what rocks about, that's exactly what it's so sick about Geh's award. That. Yeah. And the fact that works. The juggling of tones. It's... It's so sincere.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Yeah. I never really gave it the credit it deserved until Gears 5, I think. Well, and it's 4, especially. Gears 4, no, Gears 4 pissed me off, but Gears 5, I was like, oh, yeah, this is actually, like, effective. And it's reminding me of the bits from the original gears that were even better. I think Gets 5 is really good Yeah, I think there are even parts of 4 that are decent I think gameplay wise yeah
Starting point is 01:00:04 But like I hate it's not a halo thing in my mind No Oh yeah J.D was a bad character JD really annoyed me But then the stuff they do with him in 5 Yeah, they made him awesome This is really sick Suddenly you turn this character I hated
Starting point is 01:00:18 And was like I was like seeing through him And just seeing like Ryan Reynolds It was that kind of a It was like they really like force awakened that like yeah they were forcing the humor and like the group dynamic whereas in the first game there's an established relationship there but you grow to like these characters naturally whereas they were trying to force it with four yeah but then in five they intentionally make you dislike characters you are meant to like and then let you develop they give them flaws yeah yeah um Kate as well was like like like. really improved. Yeah. It was like nothing in four.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I thought that was a really decent campaign. It was well made, but they've, Rod Ferguson has left, um, who's the fellow who kind of fixed, bioshop infinite, made it releasable.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Right. He worked with, uh, cliff, Cliffy B on the original three. Um, he was like side by side with Cliffy B. He directed,
Starting point is 01:01:22 I think, for, he was at least there for five. I think I think he actually worked at 343 for a bit as well he's jumped all around Microsoft I think but he's gone now
Starting point is 01:01:36 and I think they made the right decision especially with this weird like choice thing that was at the end of Gears 5 that was one of the weirder things that probably shouldn't have been there it's quite annoying it depends what they do because you're just gonna have to pick
Starting point is 01:01:49 a canon one anyway yeah and it limits the scope of the sequel it's kind of like the I was thinking about the Walking Dead games the other day. Oh yeah, the telltale ones. Yeah, and how
Starting point is 01:02:02 you make all these branching choices but then when that one ends and the next one starts they have to remove it so much. Yeah. And then it can only be referenced. It can't be integrated. It can't lead into a different story.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Same problem with Mass Effect and everything like that. So maybe either... So why even do the choice, I guess, Again, spoilers for five, skip ahead a few minutes, but like, are they going to have which character you let survive, follow you through the rest of the game? Yeah, I just can't see them doing that.
Starting point is 01:02:41 I think they're just going to pivot, to be honest, and kind of do something a bit different. Yeah. That's why I think this was the correct move. It's kind of, to me, it's kind of like an equivalent Halo Reach type event for like that universe emergence day when it began there is the
Starting point is 01:03:01 member berry side of it but it's like I want these characters they're my favorite ones yeah having Dom seeing Dom was like the way it's like
Starting point is 01:03:12 timed in the trailer with the music and everything it's like totally manipulating you but like I love it but it should like the first
Starting point is 01:03:20 the Gaze 1 trailer was manipulative yeah yeah because like I'm sure a lot of people feel the whiplash, feel, felt a whiplash. And, like,
Starting point is 01:03:28 I never felt that for four or five. You know, with that cringy, like, Billy Elish, Gees 5 adverts. It's like, oh my God,
Starting point is 01:03:37 fuck off. If anything, that set the expectation is so low that I was, like, like, you're using the, the,
Starting point is 01:03:42 um, despicable me music. Uh-huh. Yeah, it was, it was tonally more what you'd want. Um, yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:53 I dug that. I just love Geese a War, man Yeah, I do Yeah, I've got a lot left for it Yeah, 5 was good A Hivebuster thing was really good That's the last thing they released to do with Gees So like, I don't feel
Starting point is 01:04:06 About Gees like I do about Halo Not at all, not one bit It's kind of stayed what it is More than Halo has, you know? It didn't feel the need to Like... Just reinvent the wheel. It didn't feel like it was made by people
Starting point is 01:04:19 That hate the... Yeah, yeah. Source. The difference that makes is wild. Yeah. Who would have thought? Yeah, I know. If people care about the franchise that they're like...
Starting point is 01:04:34 They're tasked to work on. Yeah. Right, bro. I got one more I want to end on here. I put it at the end for a reason. Fat Fartter, 69. What are the boys' thoughts on the current state of politics here in the UK? We've got an election coming up and has never been clearer to me that we're absolutely fucked regardless of the outcome.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Thanks for the good word. gentlemen keep it up game on so yeah put this at the end so if you're not interested in this sort of thing you can just turn out um i don't know i feel i feel i feel very um it's weird i i feel uneducated i i don't think the way britain does politics is very good at least in as far as like what? In parties expressing their intentions and at least
Starting point is 01:05:30 for someone of my very specific circumstances who doesn't... Like you mean getting the info they're saying getting it to you? Yeah. Without knowing where to look, yeah. Because because of the way algorithms work
Starting point is 01:05:44 on social media, you get shown more of what you respond to. Yeah. so there's that that works in the sense of it can be something i agree with but i'm less likely to stick around and watch a video i already know i'm going to be aligned with like a labor video right then hearing the opinions of um what's farage's party um reform reform yeah yeah reform u k i've been getting a of Reform UK stuff
Starting point is 01:06:22 because I want to hear the points that I disagree with so I understand and conservative stuff but no one is on the side of conservatives I think Reform UK is going to do really well I think we're going to do scarily well
Starting point is 01:06:40 yeah which really saddens me but I'm more frightened for what that means in four years time that's my fear because I think it's no one's going to be surprised by what happens labor's going to win um but it's they've got to be i really hope they're thinking now for then because that's going to be really bad um yeah my fear is that yeah they'll get in four years is not enough time to undo 15 years of damage people will just continue to be
Starting point is 01:07:09 frustrated when people are that level of disenfranchised they always do the same thing go far right yeah so that's what i'm scared of um yeah I think Stama, when he gets in, needs to be really honest and set people up for realistic expectations. Yeah. People don't like that, though. They like hearing, we're going to solve all of it. We've got the answers. If he gets up there and he says, right, in four years, this is all going to be sorted.
Starting point is 01:07:42 And then four years comes by, everyone's going to be pissed. You know, I think if he can In an uplifting way Get across the point that like we're on the recovery path Right Then we might be okay But so much of politics is just optics Yeah
Starting point is 01:08:03 This is something I never realized when I was younger Because no matter how you feel about Rishi Sunak And the Conservatives manifesto And everything they stand for and what they want to implement the damage of him leaving the D-Day Memorial early matters more than what the values of the party actually are it's the optics just like how much it matters to the average person they want to have a pint with Nigel Farage because they think he's a lad
Starting point is 01:08:32 even if he reeks of strawberry milkshake that yeah I find that hard to relate to because I just do not think that way and I do not well yeah to be honest if i was going to have a drink with any of them it would probably be easiest with rishi because i think he's just as socially inapt as me oh it's sad bro that all the stuff with him these interviews with him it's yeah man wants out man was out he looks defeated yeah you know he's got these bags under his eyes he's
Starting point is 01:09:06 he's hanging on by a thread he knows it's over but he's still showing up anyway I mean, I'd say hats off to him for even stepping up to the plane in the first place. Because like, well, yeah, exactly. I would say, but I'm not saying. Like, fuck that guy. Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm embarrassed that he's the leader of the country, yeah. I'm actively embarrassed.
Starting point is 01:09:36 I wish... And ashamed. Yeah. I wish the Lib Dems had more of a voice. um that's one positive i've seen is that like at least locally locally i've never seen the kind of they are demolishing you only have to look around we're just seeing there's some environmental storytelling there is amazing environmental storytelling right now it is active yeah big time signs everywhere yeah yeah nothing conservative uh-huh nothing labor all libdem one reform
Starting point is 01:10:08 which is sad to me looking beyond just our county LibDams don't have a voice I've seen nothing from them I've seen heaps from reform more than I have labour more than I have conservative so it purely from a social media
Starting point is 01:10:30 perspective that is scary to me because the right is too good at like meme strategy marketing yeah yeah and if you look back at Brexit um that that whole thing was swung by Farage yeah he he he's kind of a bond villain he's been in the background for a long time yeah and I also realize he's got the bloody voice you know the yeah he does one the bloody one let's go get a pint and just let's go get some butter beer come on grint let's go get a butter beer come on Harry and Ron yeah it's it's kind of sucks how
Starting point is 01:11:07 politically powerful it is to just kind of be funny or have charisma yeah it's actually wacky like it's insane yeah for boris it worked it works south per road yeah i think it's why labor struggle because they're normally quite reasonable they're like sort of dry yeah they're boring because plain yeah they're not exciting enough they're not like spicy enough. But then I find the opposite so like Boris is frightening to me like really like scary
Starting point is 01:11:39 like the putting that much thought into like having your makeup artist like mess your hair up so because you know the image that projects appeals in a certain way to certain people. It's much more manipulative. Yeah. Whereas
Starting point is 01:11:55 when Trump goes up I feel like I'm just looking at Trump and there's like there's not this like intent to this like projection whereas with yeah the Boris is something scary yeah it's like Rishi has been trying to say recently that he's
Starting point is 01:12:12 just an ordinary fella I didn't even have Sky News growing up yeah yeah oh by the way I eat Twixers and Harrybows like an old champ yeah and it's like you don't need to pretend I know all of you up there don't know what it is to be like a human being yeah like you're all living in this fantasy
Starting point is 01:12:31 land um but be honest about it say like i'm i'm grateful that i never had to like struggle through these same things i have my own yeah adjacent struggles let's talk about what we need to do to bring people up instead of being like i'm down there in the dirt with all of you in the slop it's fucking rude it's everyone sees through it as well yeah so why even like it worked with boris like people didn't see through that yeah because he looks like a fat pig I believe that he rolls around him, Phil. Yeah, yeah. He is, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:08 He is like the animal farm pigs, like Boris. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, evil type. Yeah, he's got the decadent slime. Yeah. I think this is all like, when you strip away the sadness of like this is dictating, like, how much it costs people's, like, bills.
Starting point is 01:13:29 and how much that affects people's lives and how miserable that has made so many people the the comedy of this string of what's happened here it's like just you can't even make it up it's so absurd the lettuce prime minister
Starting point is 01:13:46 and he was in for 30 days and it's just mad and I was thinking about this my entire adult life my entire voting life has been this Hmm? Literally the entire thing.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Yeah, we've had no say. Yeah. But this is what like we're inheriting as a society. Yeah. This is like the bed that has been made for us. Thanks. Nice one man. Nice future planning.
Starting point is 01:14:18 Sucks about humans that we're so shit at that. And I hate that, um, even calling an election is a tactical play. Like when they do it, why they do it? It's not about. it's not about let's let's do this when it's best for people it's let's do this when it's best for our party yeah
Starting point is 01:14:37 it's not about the country and that's fucking disgusting at least like looking at America that's a fucking shit show but I kind of believe even how warped their ideals might be they're doing it because they think
Starting point is 01:14:56 it's the right thing I mean there's lobbying and all that which is just for filling their own pockets Yeah yeah Yeah there's We have a yeah A patriotism problem
Starting point is 01:15:10 Here I feel like Yeah We like It's like the two extremes You're either like A nationalist like threat Or um You just hate the country so much
Starting point is 01:15:20 That like you don't even feel like you're a part of it Yeah So how is that like sustainable Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens over the next four years, I guess. I mean, the fact of the matter is that it's going to be Labor. It's also funny that it's on Independence Day, that the votes before. Yeah, I did find that funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:44 So I'm sure you register out there. I registered for a postal vote the other day. Please. Don't vote reform. I can't believe Farage is back. He's been hyped up like that knows. Yeah. He's been in the background for so long.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Yeah. Like, yeah, like, right before we came up for the second part, looking out the window and seeing a neighbor with the reform sign. Mm-hmm. I hadn't seen one yet. No. On my own street, I see one. Like, it's quite, it's quite upset.
Starting point is 01:16:19 That's quite upsetting to me. Yeah. Beamia. yeah so something cheery to put cherry on top um let's go
Starting point is 01:16:35 let's uh yeah let's go let's go out of this country what happened to the light yeah no because it rained partially so I changed the light and then the
Starting point is 01:16:49 yeah um vote green party fix climate change we can do that we can keep the light consistent yeah for us just selfishly we're going to lobby to um fix climate change so um subscribe to patreon it'll be going straight into the tory party for when they get back in the next four years um we'll get them to really bring in the evs
Starting point is 01:17:13 more like vEs virtual elections.
