Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Jhara episode 309 of the JAR Media podcast.
Today I am joined by Jamie and Alex.
Welcome.
Is this the ASMR episode finally?
I can do that beard scratch thing.
No.
This isn't the AISMI up.
Is that an ASMR thing?
No.
Yeah, it is, right?
Where you go like...
Alex, I'm not watching beer scratching A.S.
Well, just because you don't watch it doesn't mean it's not out there.
No, but everything's a thing in A.S.
Like, I've, I've listened to A.S.M.R.
Engine building videos.
Ah!
That's...
Calming.
I want a, um, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare Reloads anime.
No, but there is Captain Price ASMR videos.
If ASMR, it's like if you got in on the ASMR thing
Huge
Yeah, I remember
People like contacted me around the time
There was like, it was like huge
The ISMR market's growing
You should really do something about that
Biggest mistake you ever made
Alice, you would have made
You would have quadrupled your subscribers
If you made ASMR videos
Reading Lord of the Wings
As IHE
that everyone
Is that ASMR?
Yeah
No yeah
Yeah do your Gollum voice
Gollum
Gollum reads
The man man
Boy boy boy man
I kind of find the
I recently found this like Lego YouTuber right
Who um
He kind of go
He goes in on his videos
To the point where it's like
Crazy
He like almost makes these like
Stop motion
They're like just
reviews of like sets that they're like
he puts in like
stop motion effectively of like him building
it in like certain steps and it's all like synced
to music and stuff and it's like
ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchch
all this kind of stuff
that's kind of my SMR I guess
next time you build
something can you make a video
where you build it like it's Lego
Star Wars
ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchchch
yeah
that would be awesome
yeah I suppose you could do it.
With the sound effects and all
Um, before we get too deep into the show, though, let me shout out the Patreon,
JARMedia Patreon that make the audio version possible.
And they have their names read out in the first or second week of each month.
Thanks for the support, everybody.
We've got a big chunk here, to be honest, of things.
Got a few topics here, got a few questions to,
conversations to round out from that previous lot.
mistakes to unmake
mistakes to remake
let's do it then
let's go into housekeeping
which
Patricia Norton
Albino
Basilisk
and many other people
were on the same note
because we're talking a little bit
about that
controversial HBO Velma show
which the conspiracy is a flow
and heavy for
You take the L
I guess I'll take the L on this one
being Norville has always
been Shaggy's real name
in the Scooby-Doo law
We're gonna drop the jar boys
Some epic Scooby-Doo lore
Norville is Shaggy's birth name
And Shaggy being his nickname
Edit, Norville Shaggy Rogers
Is his full name
So sorry about that one
I can't even remember
Wait so his middle name is Shaggy
That's his nickname
I always thought it was like
I didn't really think his like name was Shaggy
I just thought the character
Went by Shaggy
Yeah why would you like name him anything but
Yeah
Yeah but I mean
What would
want to say about that
the people are like
theorising now that I think we
I might actually say this for later
there was some question about it but about like
the idea of intentionally bad shows
to get like press
I don't know
we can talk about that later
um yeah so sorry
sorry about Norville
Paisley Meadows says
Alex has mispronounced my Patreon name
every damn time and it's just
a normal word.
Can't wait to compile the epic fail reel.
What name is it?
Don't know.
That means next month, the next time we read the Patreon names,
you've got to be careful.
This is a thing I never anticipated, like, ever making content online or whatever.
You're not just speaking to, like, locals that understand, like, and even around here,
I probably sound kind of weird.
Just over Christmas, like, one of our cousins was saying, they said that I sounded
American to them like my voice yeah either I don't know like what they're what they're on or
whatever but yeah but making stuff online like saying all these names from all around the
world I'm not a very I'll be the first to admit I'm not a very worldly person I don't know
anything just saying these names and and a lot of people like they use they've got their like
gamer tags as their their name online or whatever you want to call it you know so one person's
Pinkish prawn is another person's...
Pankish prown.
But they're actually real and really like something to their culture
where they came from on some random island I'd never heard of.
I think it's nice when someone says something just drastically incorrect
to like not even...
To just leave it?
Yeah.
That's how language evolves and becomes epic.
There was one...
I had one of those earlier where...
I was like self-correcting myself.
I wanted to use the word protractor for something.
But that's like a math tool.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
She's doing the thing.
The half circle thing.
But it like stuck me.
It got me caught in such a way where I like couldn't actually think of the word I wanted.
Petractor.
Is it protractor or protractor?
Yeah, that's where I just kind of gave up.
And I have this really vivid memory of being in like year seven, sat in like ICT,
writing some essay or something
and there was like a word that I was stuck on
and I just couldn't
I couldn't conjure it
and I sat there for like 15 minutes
I don't even know like what to do
I think it's one of those things there where like
you're focusing so hard on trying to get it
that if you just stop and leave it
just let it go
it will just come back to you
that's what you should do
it's like those people that they write a whole sentence
they like type it all out
and they make a little mistake at their end
and then like go
with the back button and like undo the whole sentence
and do it again
it's just like obsessive stuff
I do that all the time
for the whole sentence
yeah
there you go man
there you go
so sorry for epically
failing at reading
okay
Greasy the reptile says
I was recently looking into bear biology
and found a podcast with a bear
expert and said that the brown bear is called ursus arctus which literally means bear bear bear
i thought it was very funny to have a biologist say bear bear bear so much nice ursus actus
ursus arctos bear bear maybe that sounds a bit more like like fancy
like it sounds classical yeah
This is like the difference between saying, you're right, and hello there?
Do you know what I mean?
I do know what you mean.
Ursus Octus.
Lom Brian says, I think Andor shows Star Wars without lightsabers and force can actually be pretty epic.
No reason you couldn't do it with the scoob.
I guess that's something I was saying when we're talking about Valma.
I think what I said was, yeah, you wouldn't make Star Wars without lightsabers and the force,
but they've literally done that and was actually quite good.
So I guess it really more comes down to the fact that it's bad writing, it's bad writing.
Yeah, at the same time, though, I don't think you could really call the Scooby-Doo universe like a, like novels and spin-offs.
Yeah, you can't really flesh out because it's like just real life, really.
Because there's no actual ghosts.
They're all just dudes wearing masks.
What about in the movies?
It kind of gets a bit real.
They're like CG monsters, aren't they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Does that make them not real?
No, CG isn't real.
But in the movie, they're real.
They're not real, though.
They are.
No, they're like holograms.
No, they're real.
Are they real?
Yeah.
Well, then that is real.
I thought, I didn't mean, like,
CG is in, in the movie, they're, like, obviously they are.
But I thought in the universe, like, the twist is that, like, they're not real.
No, they're real.
And they like change consciousness and stuff
Remember that whole weird scene where they like
Fred goes into Daphne's consciousness and they swap
I'm gonna be real I haven't seen this movie nearly as many times as you have
And Fred's is like yeah look at my boobies as a girl
Damn
Let's go Fred, let's go
There's a lot of stuff in that movie that just like was really confusing as a child
These concept like opening the door to all these crazy concepts
I mean Valmer as a concept was
something to wrap your head around
and everything else
yeah
Jacob B says for housekeeping please
in caps
so I guess they really wanted me to say this
why did Alex not listen to Jim
for the title of Intercontinental
Ballistic Buba
um I guess I kind of addressed
it already
you know
I didn't say that James did
yeah honestly
that 90% of what makes people
click on a video is the title
and thumbnail comment
and I felt like it would
I don't know
probably just get flagged as being some kind of military
video
well yeah to make a thumbnail for intercontinental
ballistic boot but yeah exactly
that's gonna be tricky
I want to end this segment on this one from Hindu
Frap who was also angry
at us
Wobafet is the blue Pokemon that hangs around
with Team Rocket in the anime
get up to date with your Pokemon law
will you
So what are you trying to say?
That the meowth wasn't ever that?
Yeah, meowth was that more.
What do you mean?
Get up to date.
He was that when we watched it.
Ah!
I also did see, I'm, yeah, I vaguely remember when Wobber Fett came along,
but that's when I kind of tuned out.
Yeah, Wobber...
No meowth.
Is he called Wobber Fet as like a reference to Boba Fett?
Like it rhymes and the second word is Fet.
I don't know.
I guess I'd never really thought about that.
All the Pokemon fans can write in
and we can definitely pay attention to that one.
Yeah, Team Rock is blasting off again.
Isn't that right, James?
Yeah.
Did you ever watch Pokemon?
No, I don't think I did.
Really?
I think for the most part I've managed to avoid Pokemon.
As an anime enjoyer, I think you would actually like Pokemon.
Yeah.
So the biggest
infectious Japanese bit of media
that spread everywhere
you somehow didn't get at all.
What about Yu-Gia?
You didn't watch Yu-Gia?
Do you remember when Noam Brock is running
with a frying pan in the rain
and he's like, I can turn this frying pan
and then he puts on his head
into a drying pan?
Yeah.
I'm glad I didn't watch it then.
No, then.
I did, however, get a pack of Pokemon.
like cards
yeah
a little booster pack
no like a chunky
like a collector's pack
like a chunky word of like 500 cards
was it to try and defeat my deck
no it was just like
I was at a waste track
and I got Pokemon
don't I don't know what the context
were they playing the game on like the hood of a car
no they were they were racing cars
that's actually what
the what was that like gang
of really fast
Nike at the Midnight Club
yeah the Midnight Club they'd meet him
play Pokemon cars.
And to one away from the police, they have to make cars that fast.
There's one car with Pokemon and then another with Yukio.
Interesting law about that guy.
He's a notorious conman.
He's in prison.
Aww.
Yeah.
Damn.
That's a shame.
Aww.
I could put my Gucci's on.
What are you singing over there, bro?
What are you singing over there?
when was this
no show
well we got a few topics to trickle out here
James has one
oh we probably should start on
so it's quite
quite interesting
quite weird
it's more weird
than it is
like
it is like
it's just
weird man so like maybe
I can't remember the actual context of
this uh jarling's like their message to us in um yeah it was a few months back now it was but
a jarling basically said that for some reason they might be related to me and uh i think they
were saying that uh part of their family tree comes from the same area we're in and it happens
to share the same name i have and well basically we went to we went to divine yesterday
shout out to Mark, a divine legend
We're talking to my sister
And then we got some house law
That's kind of just opened the doors a bit
Basically
The house name that comes from the area we live in
It's directly related to me
To you specifically
Basically my grandfather
His mum
married a man and had kids with them
but because she had my grandfather of another man
my grandfather took the name and that name was house
so my grandfather has eight brothers and sisters
that all come from Kahn and the surrounding areas
so
in short the house family that's in our town
and the areas are directly related to my family
so the James House in
Khan is related to me, James House.
And it doesn't stop there though.
Which relative was it that bred the collies?
So on one side you've got the house, and that's my dad's side, and then you've got my
mum's side.
And on my mum's side, they...
Her parents basically owned the farmhouse in Kahn and bred working dogs on it.
That was the farmhouse that we went to a viewing to.
years ago
all four of us went
to go look at
no way
it was owned by James' family
what
yeah
by the funeral place
yeah yeah
they bred collies there
wow
but the crazy thing is the jarling
who mentioned this
is probably
somehow related to me
yeah
we're gonna dig deep
and actually look at the family trees
it's like been confirmed
it's 100% being confirmed
now
that all the houses in this
so yeah they are just offshoots of how weird is that that's crazy I think the
world is way smaller than we think things like this definitely make you think
that way yes so two different family trees and they all have like a they all
converged in Kahn and then I ended up in Kahn it's a bit weird yeah so if
your name's house you live in Wiltshire give me a shout we're probably related
man
got anything else to say on that one
no
it's just crazy
you must have a really big family
but if there was eight brothers and sisters
if my granddad has eight
eight brothers and sisters
the family tree is huge then
yeah spread all over
but they're in like Australia
America
yeah all over the world
you know what they say all roads lead to Swindon
the house
always wins
Well guys
I got a couple things
I want to talk about
Do you want the
The sad one
Or the morally complicated
Kind of exciting
Can we do the sad one first
Then the morally
I disagree
Do it vice versa
So
Which should we do then
Which one
Morally complicated
the problem is there are two votes and what's your vote my vote would actually be to do the sad
sad first yeah because especially because you're going to do that exact sigh again probably when
i start reading what the topic is uh dark star v i i i says given the major layoffs at three
four three in the departure of joe staten what are the what do the jar boys see as the future of halo
that there is going to be any more work on the campaign
are you invested in the multiplayer or have any faith in the game
in this game bouncing back thoughts
so yeah Joe Staten's gone
so yeah there have been like
widespread layoffs at Microsoft
as a lot of tech companies are doing at the moment
about 10,000 staff gone
wow they have like 200,000 staff
working at Microsoft or something so
just to put the size of that company in perspective
but 60 of those people were from 3-4-3
just kind of gutting the team
Joseph Staten has gone
he doesn't work it through-for-three anymore
he's now gone back to Microsoft Publishing
so I'd say that's a rat wasn't really a sacking then
that was say an internal
yeah they're probably like trying to time it all at the same
because Bonnie Ross has gone all these people are gone
and now it looks like a bunch of the
the campaign side are gone um redundancies it's done it's finished yeah yeah halo's dead
i reckon give it a year or two and there'll be another one in the works that they're gonna have
two um resident evil at yeah um there's i don't know if it's been like confirmed yet or whatever
but there's like chatter of them turning more into like a publisher now so other developers will
actually make the games and they'll just kind of
Yeah, they need to find like a reliable studio.
Yeah.
That gets it.
It's just like, this is it, their actual nail in the coffin.
Yeah, yeah.
Halo Infinite is dead.
I reckon their best bet would be to sell the IP.
No.
No, they would never do that.
Remake.
Remake Halo 1.
No, remake Halo 3.
That's where the money is.
Next, they can build up to that, like doing remaking.
But they've already tried, didn't they?
The master of collection was that.
Yeah, they've already remade.
Remastered.
They didn't remake.
Yeah, I suppose it's more of a trend now.
But it's like, it's never had a chance to just take a break and go.
It's always, there's been something like cooking.
Yeah.
Even when it didn't make sense.
That's why I think, because do you remember after Resident Evil 6?
Apart from like those DS games and stuff, it was like, Resident Evil doesn't exist anymore.
yeah it's cultural capital just kind of evaporated
and then resident evil seven came out and it was like
yeah they kind of figured out what they needed to do
yeah so they i think they need to do that
yeah
it's just so like frustrating
because yeah
just the same cycle of three
four games
like Star Wars it was from
like the work yeah yeah
like the second they wanted to continue
yeah yeah
hello four
yeah but who cares there's plenty of other good games yeah that's the thing it's like
I don't die it that's what's so frustrating there because it's like around those early days of
infinite like the way people were talking about it and there was like prod was garbage battlefield
was garbage and HALA was at least working and was like oh going kind of back to something we
haven't really had and it's just like this whole time if they were just done what the franchise is
and had the content to back it then maybe it would be a different situation but for some reason
this uh this company that was created to make halo games just cannot make a halo game
i actually source i don't know if this is even true but apparently if used the dead body pops
in forge world and depict them in a violent way to like show like you know environmental
storytelling, your map will be removed from Forge because it shows violence.
So you can't use the props in Forge because it's against terms and policy.
Yeah, they've like gutted it of all of its like grunt and character and personality.
Yeah, that's so weird because like the violence was like part of it.
The blue blood squirting out of the aliens.
Well, like Halo 1 when...
The Flood.
The flood and everything.
A horror concept.
Yeah.
Yeah, just none of it makes any sense.
It's almost
Velma levels of like absurd
It's worse than Velma
There, I said it
It's worse than Velma
What?
Yeah
No
Nothing's worse than Velma
I think Halo
It's like what I've said
All along is that you need to let Halo go
Everyone needs to collectively
Let Halo go
Give it 10 years
But it's almost like
It's more insulting
What they'd
If they had actually let it go
themselves
If they should let it
Just let it sit
You know, if they had that patience, just to leave it be.
They need to have the valve mentality to it.
Yeah.
We're just doing nothing until a little passion project comes up and it's like...
Yeah, there's some kind of idea for it.
Yeah.
That whole thing is just bizarre and confusing and just silly.
I just don't understand how they come to these conclusions.
Just and the money involved.
Hundreds of millions sunk into these projects.
So much money.
and for what you know
and it's like
and I'll save this as well for later
I think we've got a question about it
instead I'll shift into
moral quandaries
the moral
bizarreness of
what technology is now allowing us to do
so have you guys heard about this
this this this de-extinction company
de-extinction
like reversing extinction
yeah
Okay, you're going to have to...
So there's a, it's real.
There's a de-extinction company that has been established.
And at the moment, what they're trying to do is bring back the woolly mammoth.
You know, you know that scene in Jurassic Park with the frog and that whole animated DNA thing?
Yeah, yeah.
It's literally that.
The amber?
Yeah, well, it's the same concept.
They take the DNA from the amber, fill in.
the gaps in the DNA with modern animals.
They're doing the same thing.
They're using Indian elephant DNA to fill in the gaps in the fairly well-preserved
Willie mammoth DNA that has been like retrieved from frozen samples or whatnot.
Yeah.
There's some found in Swindon, I'm pretty sure, same recently.
Well, wasn't there that like huge block of ice with just like a mammoth, like perfectly
frozen?
There's stuff like that, yeah.
So you've got pretty good DNA like there.
Yeah.
um so yeah yeah take that indian elephant dna and somehow you can bring back willy mammoths and over the next
couple years apparently they're going to start doing that um and there's like multiple kind of
extinct animals that they're like thinking about maybe trying to well yeah because we can de-extinct animals
but why um see this is this this what i'm about to say is going to can go off into another
new tangent, but Cybunk 207.7, it's an amazing game. One of the details in it I saw was that
in one of the terminals ever is talking about hunting big game and the fact that they hump big
game by lab growing the game and releasing it into the wild and then you hunt it. So if these
scientists are bringing back extinct animals, it's just going to be for game hunting. Because
killing a tiger, that's dopamine. Killing an extinct animal that shouldn't be here,
that's like times 10. Well, it's like those weird conservation places that are fun
by hunting, aren't they, or something?
So, weirdly, it keeps the population alive.
But then if we can just de-extinctify stuff,
then hunting becomes a bigger deal,
because then we can just use it to make money.
Because if you're lab-growing, extinct animals,
they're lab-grown.
And if you bring one thing back from extinction,
then surely anything that exists
presently or previously
presently or onward
because like we might not have dinosaur DNA or whatever
no but anything that exists at that time
loses the ability to ever go extinct
yeah as long as there's like a modern
evolved loosely related facsimile
like existing now you can fill the blanks with
like if once this technology is is done successfully
nothing can ever die again yeah so it'll be like well we can just bring them back
but then the then the i guess the challenge is more balancing um
ecologies right because they were saying something about like
willy mammoths like the way they would treat the environments like knock trees down in a
certain way which would then
animals below it would like eat the
things that they forage and they'd
like would squish the snow down in a
certain way which would like change temperatures
or like all these kind of theories
I think it's more interesting thinking about
in terms of animals that have specifically
been removed thanks
to human interference
like the Moa in New Zealand or something
that was hunted to extinction
by humans
like what is lacking in
from the local ecology from taking these animals out that maybe reintroducing them in
some way could balance in a different way I don't know but then or throw it off yeah exactly
that's where the moral quandary comes in it's like well yeah just because you can does that
mean you should Jurassic Park yeah I mean that it's literally that same question it just is
Jurassic Park yeah but like I always thought that was like
Like a silly, like, movie concept.
Like, you can't actually do that.
You know, bring Willie Mammus back, so it's like...
It's bonkers.
And I don't think we should.
I think we should, even when it's, like, from human causes,
we should, uh, sleep in the bed we, we've made.
We've made.
But then what James was saying, with the, the potential to make Moolah Mula,
imagine like a zoo that has a dodo
or if we can eat it
what if we're mammoth taste bomb
DFC
Dodo with fried chicken
What are they hiring the dodoes to fry the chicken
Oh man
It makes it like food supply and demand
More scary because at the moment
It's like sure the corporate
corporations will have like an amount of cows or chickens or whatever but when they're still
living animals that have to reproduce right but then once corporations can just lab grow
the food they now control the supply which means that becomes a more bigger ethical
issue because then it's like if you you you go against the corporation then the food supply
stops because they're lab growing at all because the same is going to happen with you know
And it's also less morally disturbing
because then you don't have like factory farming
if it's like...
Well, it's just be labs.
If it's like...
Or more extreme factory farming
with like the headless chickens, James
loves to talk about.
The like skyscrapers full of headless chickens.
Oh, oh, oh.
No, the technology of being able to like remove parts
of the brains of animals so that they don't
they don't understand the horror they're in.
So you can just have...
skyscapers full of chickens
that are like perfectly happy
they're not happy or sad
they're just nothing they're just meat
they're just growing meat
but at that point
then you can lab grow the chickens
without the brains and then it is just
lab growing skyscropers of meat
there's no animal there at that point
it's just meat yeah
because this is going to happen
like this is going to happen in our lifetime
like we're going to have the skyscrapers full of
battery farmed genetic meat
I really don't know how to feel about this
It's stuff to think about
Yeah and it's like
Bo is all going downhill
But also like a lab grown bit of meat
Is it vegan?
Yeah
But we're going down a different road now with that
I'm just with the
Bringing the woolly mammoth back
Something tangible that like is
Is closer than like
Yeah yeah
Technology of this lab grown stuff
because I assume
like growing one willy mammoth
is probably an extremely expensive endeavor
right?
Yes.
But what does it mean by,
do they like
IVF it into an elephant?
Um,
they give birth to this like
I think that's one way of doing it
Are they can also use like artificial wombs as well?
It's in like rooms
because I've seen like horses being grown in these rooms
But then then with that technology
what's stopping us from like doing that with humans?
No, but that's the next step.
Yeah.
Well, like, celebrities already, like, fly to Morocco and get, like, stem cell injections and stuff to, like, heal injuries or whatever, like, it's already, like, pretty crazy.
No, but it'll be, like, the biggest, like, positive to this is that a woman doesn't have to sacrifice so many years to have a child when you can just have it artificially grown in a virtual womb.
That's already happening, basically, like, the surrogate thing that, like, the Kardashians do whatever.
they have someone else have their child.
No, but then that's another woman doing it.
We're talking about an actual, completely artificial thing,
that you can just, that's where the baby goes growing,
but then you're not, a woman's not having to sacrifice so many years for that.
Because then that's, I see it better, healthier.
But it's also kind of freaky.
It is freaky.
It's not unnatural, it's not white.
Yeah, it's not human.
But you're just like, it's like delivered to you by like Amazon.
The stalk.
Yeah.
Well, no, because then obviously you've got, remember, corporations are going to be the one, like the biggest companies are going to be able to do this.
Our companies like Amazon, because they've got so much money.
So you will get baby deliveries.
Well, yeah, it'll be so expensive.
It will probably just be like a small select.
No, but it will be the mainstream.
You've got to pick your company now, though.
You can pick Amazon.
But now, though, I want to focus more on specifically, Jim was kind of saying, leaning more towards the mammoth.
back mammoth know, where do you
lie on that, James? What does
your gut tell you about bringing, the concept
of bringing back of Willie Mammoth within the
space of two or three years?
No, but then, no, but this is, no matter
what, morally, even if
you're against it, someone isn't.
Like, no matter what you do. What do you think?
If you could switch it off
right now, would you? Like, if you... But then I'd
switch off knowing in a year someone else would start
doing it again. No, no, but let's phrase it more like this
then, that you have like a vote on a
council, and it's either a yes or no.
Okay, so we're split evenly between yes or no.
My vote is that only won them as.
Devil's advocate, I'd have to go, yeah.
I actually don't know.
No, good, pro, no.
Is it being too optimistic?
You'd be just curious about what the meat tastes like.
Is it too optimistic and hopeful to think that there are ways to, like, help the environment by, like,
or is that just tinkering
that's just too much
like you know we're playing
we're playing with shit
but beyond our comprehension
but how could it possibly
like improve the environment
you wouldn't
we're like we're running out of ice
right like it's all melting
where the woolly mammoth's going to go
and be comfortable
I don't know I don't know enough about like
how they affect the environment
or what the eye what like
they're if they just want to do this like once and then that's like look like they they died
yeah like hundreds of thousands of years ago right yeah i don't actually know when they went
extinct um and that wasn't due to humans it was the environment not supporting them anymore
yeah because they existed in the so that is a fact of you then so let's change the vote to
mowers then what would you say with them because they were hunted yeah absolutely so you
would so that's interesting to me well no because Australia and New Zealand are good examples of
this because every time they tried to mess with the biology of their country it's gone
it's fucked them up yeah the possums the cane toads in Australia emus
emus
what is she crunching back there
Billy
She's just picking at the light
No she was crunching something
Because no the other day
Like complete tangent
It was about 11 o'clock at night
Everything on here
For those listening
I'm pointing at the windowsill
Just came tumbling down
I just heard this crazy crash
Because there's all bottles up there
So it was just going
I came up to investigate
Thinking maybe Billy was trying to climb
But no she was in there
Like at the top of her
podium, it wouldn't be possible.
Somehow, like, everything up there, except that Lego set had, like, fallen down.
So down there is now a bunch of, like, dirt and cactus stones, because they're, of course,
cactus up there as well.
I said it's a ghost.
There's nothing else it could be besides a ghost.
It could have been Billy.
No, it could have been Billy.
Look at us.
You're saying this, it's now moodily looking in the other direction.
Luckily, the hair jar didn't, like, crack open, because then that would have been another.
kind of pandemic on our eyes.
Billy would have a couple
hair balls, you know what I'm saying?
But yeah, I don't know, with the
human one, I feel like...
So Willie Mammis went extinct
about 10,000 years ago.
So not that long.
Is that it?
When...
Yeah, they existed the same time
as humans.
When was the...
When were the pyramids made?
Oh, good question.
60 years ago?
Sounds about why.
I can.
I could put my Louieve Wittons.
Pyramid build date roughly 2550 to 2490 BC.
So that's 4,000 years ago.
About, yeah.
Yeah.
Bit more.
So 5,000 years before the pyramids.
Is that not crazy to you?
We're getting closer to the, the pyramid.
The pyramids being closer to the mammoths than we are the pyramids.
No, we're closer to the pyramids than the monuments.
Yeah, but eventually, we're not going to be.
The pyramids will be closer to the mammoths than us.
Oh, right, yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
Wow.
Time is crazy.
A thousand years is a really long time.
Mm-hmm.
A lot can change in 10, let alone 1,000.
Yeah.
We can't really comprehend that kind of space of time.
what's with the looks
you know have you heard about the theory
that if you were to go back in time
you literally wouldn't be able to do anything
well like you couldn't communicate with anyone
you couldn't know but it's it's a theory
that it's like if you tried to change anything
it would stop you
things would happen to stop you
actually having a fear in the fear it's the
Voikov principle
what would stop you
but yourself
something would stop you
wouldn't be able to do it
yeah because it's all been predetermined
or whatever.
No, as soon as you start looking into like space
and the passing of time,
it just becomes insane.
That's like, why are we messing around with things on the planet?
We need to think bigger.
The crazy is out there.
We need to go find the crazy.
But surely the, um,
the answer to our problems is probably going down some scientific path.
And everything's,
everything is down a scientific path.
So,
This just like opens this whole Pandora's box to me
A de-extinction company like existing
I think it's whack
Would that mean that if you have DNA from someone
From thousands of years ago
You can recreate them
Sure, right?
Genghis Khan is being brought back
And he's going to be on TikTok
The next Andrew Tate
He's feeling bit of what you left by Andrew Tate
Yeah
I don't know
It's just something to think about
Okay, so let's just say
We have DNA of like any figure
From the last 4,000 years
And we can bring one of them back
Who'd at me?
Um
I don't know
I like animals more
Jesus
Jesus
Yeah
Yeah oh and um
I can't remember what they're called
But I've got a picture of them
these old gorgans they're like dogs of stripes on them aren't they still alive they
were only went extinct like a few decades ago so they're thinking about bringing them back
this is what i mean though there's going to be like no limit on it just be like yeah bring them
back and a megaladon yeah the extinct tasmanian tiger if you know what we should do is you
should bring back proper pugs we should let the proper pugs fight the new the new the new
pugs, so you wins.
And then they claim
whichever wins claims the true title.
What's a proper pug? When they didn't have
their noses.
Before they got
inbred to be
dup.
So we let them fire
and whichever wins becomes the true pug.
Because that would just benefit them.
He'd win. I found
this article
it's like a, I guess a list planet,
sorry, website or something.
A list planet.
A list. It's because it's
Because the website is called One Kind Planet.org.
But they've just got this...
The title is top ten extinct animals.
Just that phrasing, like, just like...
Yeah, what does that mean?
The best extinct animals.
Just to refresh my memory on some things that are extinct.
Like, the passenger pigeon.
Or the Stella's sea cow.
Those of weird birds.
Oh, dodo's were like really ugly, man
Yeah
Look like they got mange
Like what's that
Like what, okay
people would line up to see a saber tooth cat
Yeah, I would
People would pay big bucks to do that
No, this is the thing you've got realized
This is not being driven by anything science-related
Or curiosity or the greater good
It's being driven by what can make money
But surely like
If they brought back herds of mammoths
that would be like suddenly a tourist thing
yeah people would be like going to see the migrating man
really don't do it there
yeah I don't know man
too far
too far
we're finding on too far
I just feel like
reel it back stand down
the resources right now though
could go into something different right
what bringing back
yeah it's got to be bringing back something
like bringing back the Rolling Stones
or the Beatles
Bring back
Lenin
Not the Russian guy
Like John Lennon
I meant
Bring back Putin
Lenin
Um
Bring back Stalin
No the craziest thing I learned this recently
Which is going to sound dumb
It's going to make me sound like
I know nothing
But the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
but at the same time and that blew in my mind.
Oh really? Yeah, because that's like the debate.
I thought Beatles was like 10 years prior
because there's no way anyone would listen to the Beatles
over the Rolling Stones.
Oh, so there you go. That explains it then actually.
Yeah. You're an anti-beetles thing this whole time.
I like them both. I prefer
the Beatles. Because you're a stoner.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've always been anti-Betles though.
Even though they're the best.
They're so good.
They're not non-songs.
That's just...
They're not what songs?
Oh, Nile songs.
No, but that's the problem with the rolling stones.
Only Nile songs.
Yeah, that's because sometimes the vibe.
Ooh, Biddy's a little huge line like that.
I love the fact that when she's like that, she looks tired and her eyes are very low,
but then she's just like ready to attack.
Beed-ee!
the room she like stays in like has a little slit like permanently open and she like
she sits perfectly so you can just see her eyes in the darkness it's really scary she does
that like down the garden and you're like if there is one bit of light it will reflect off
their eyes and that's all you'll see so you know apparently how they see in the dark so well
how their eyes are so reflective that any light that like bounces into their eyes will be reflected back to what they're looking at and then back into their eyes so they can see it wow that's why um the little things are called cats eyes on the road because they reflect light so you can see cats eyes are a great invention now that's a good invention right there yeah um and when you drive over them they get a little wash
it's true they have um suds under the road so the road is like floating on a thin bed of
suddy water i like hitting them because they make good noises yeah because it goes splash
because it dunks in the suds i hate the word sud stop saying i hate the word suds you're so right there
i agree no but it's just like when you get on a road that doesn't have cat size it's like i can't see shit
yeah instantly 100 of suds you just triggered like a memory
something gross I was talking to someone right
and there was they're describing the way their parents like
clean up things during the day let me explain
so like I guess they don't have a dishwasher or something
in the morning they run like they fill the sink with warm water
and some suds so do you yeah um
and instead of just
cleaning everything then and there they leave that water in there for the whole day and every time
they like have a cup of coffee or a cup of tea or whatever even if there's dregs in the cup they like
put it in that water give it a little shake and then just like put it put it away but they use
the same water for the whole day is that to save money or something i don't know but by the end of
the day obviously water's just full of tea and coffee
And I just found that
I hate that
When I do the dishes
Like without a dishwasher
I always like
If there's a fully drank
Cup of tea
So an empty cup
But it's had tea in it
I've got to rinse it out
Before I put it in the sink
To wash it
Because otherwise it's just gonna be like
You're washing with tea
Yeah
And then you then you
Wash it
And then you have the other part
Of clean water
Where you wash it again
And that's it
Because you're using
Of water
She have, you have your washing up pot with your, you know, detergent or whatever, your cleaning solution.
You wash it in there and then you put, you, like, wince it and cleaning in clean water and then you try it.
Because then it's clean.
Wow.
James is so clean.
No, I'm just, no, but you, I, this is where probably some part of my brain is a bit up because.
That picture you sent me, James, of Argy, doing this exact thing.
I'm sorry, listeners, but this is a visual thing right now.
No, but you've seen, like, I can't drink from water, any glass unless it's been, I've, like, felt the inside of it.
Because if there's even a crusty bit of food.
That's too far, though.
no but bro
bro sometimes
I'll get
like glasses at my dishrushet
and they'll just be like lasagna pieces
stuck on the inside
like small little bits
and I'm like
so I have to
I'm like really anal
about
any the cleanliness
of drink like things you drink from
because you're on drink
sign if it's got bitty food chunks
in the inside
mm hmm
hmm
mm hmm
well
we'll see you have to
these messages.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
That's it.
Attacker, pace it.
Attack.
Billy, smash, smash.
Buy Bear Bear, Bear.
I do declare buy Bear Bear Bear.
Bear Bear shirts and mug available now.
Check the description below.
description below she's fitted into the requirements of a jar animal which is really
dumb pictures if you can't take really dumb pictures of them they decide they're not a jar animal
we've got to have equal humor to cuteness value yeah argue has it paisley has a lot of it
and billy has it paisley might have it the most no argy has it of all the iconic
photos like the one I've put in the group chat
I get the vibe
though that Jarlings don't really like Paisley
very much. Why? He never gets
mentioned. Billy does, Argy does
because she's wrong. Guys does
never gets mentioned. No he does
man. No did you not see the recent
breakdown? Of what?
That's exactly why he's special right there.
Such a good face.
Yeah, I don't know how it's so much.
I don't know what cast that's in.
New J.R. episode 5.
It was Randy.
Yeah, there's your Randy up.
Oh, yeah.
What a legendary moment.
I don't think I've ever known a funnier animal than I think he's the funniest creature I've ever, like, interacted with.
He was really sweet yesterday.
No, he's since...
Hey, Jamie. I've really missed you.
Yeah, yeah.
And then he, then he, like, stands next to me and his tails wagging, and I touch him and he's like, so fucking.
Like ridiculous.
Since he's left this house, he's become a better dog.
Yeah.
He's generally a lovely boy.
He was happy to see me today and it was just like, hello, Argy!
Yeah, I think not having Pays around has been quite good for him.
For both of them, because Pays is like really annoying.
He's around.
She becomes this little ass-eating follower.
I mean, she's always an ass-eating follower.
But when she's following the shit-eating,
Yeah, uh, gremlin.
She's kind of like, um, Spider from Avatar 2, where she, you know, she thinks she's something she's not.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
She thinks she's a corgi.
Let's go, cuss.
Run bro, rock!
Welcome to the second half of the JAR Media POSD Act, where we answer questions from the JAR Media community.
Head over to the suggestion thread on the suburb.
Reddit not ours slash flaf jar media just like Chris Peacock did and this is one I actually
screenshot last episode but the thread was so good last episode that there were a bunch of
there were just too many to choose from and I forgot about this one I'm gonna need you guys to
put on your um you know your thinking goggles a little bit your your BS goggles see if you
see any lies in this but I don't know I feel like there's truth in here the day
Today I met the most evil Jarling.
In episode 304, during the Patreon name segment, a name gave details of a Jarling fan meetup
in my city of Perth, Australia, on Boxing Day.
I was surprised to hear there were Jarlings nearby, but excited to attend and hopefully
make some new friends.
On the day, I arrive at the disclosed location and begin asking people nearby if they're
here for the JAR meetup.
For the next 20 minutes, I was met with the expected, confused faces, or being straight up
ignored, as if I was a drugged-up homeless person spewing nonsense.
I waited around for another 30 minutes after this and finally saw a person roughly my age
arrive.
I approached them, intending them to be my last person to us before just going home.
But luckily, they were actually here for the said meetup.
We quickly introduce ourselves and it goes quite well due to our shared niche interest.
I was excited at being able to make a friend with someone who seemed lovely.
after talking for a while we realize no one else is coming so he suggests we see a movie
luckily the new avatar was playing quite soon so we walked to a nearby cinema
I'm first to pay for my own ticket and snacks followed by the Jarling however when told the
price of his ticket and snacks he begins fumbling around in his bag in pockets telling me he's
left his wallet at home I didn't think it was a big deal so I just paid for him too
I thought it would be a nice gesture to form the foundation of our friendship and he was
very grateful. As the credits for the film began to play, he tells me he was desperate to use
the bathroom, which was understandable after such a long film. So I stayed back to pick up our
rubbish. I waited for him outside the bathroom for about 20 minutes before going in myself.
To my utter shock, there was only one older gentleman at the urinal to be found. This bastard
paid about 15 Australian dollars on a Patreon name segment to stage a fake meetup in order to con a
free ticket and snacks valued at 35 Australian dollars.
If the evil jarling is reading this and I'm wrong and you had some emergency or something,
let me know.
What else I'll continue warning this community about your scummy behavior?
Wow.
Yo.
That's dark.
That's like a Joker plan.
It's like the most innocent Joker ever.
Maybe he just really wanted to see.
avatar well you can you can scrounge together 15 America Australian dollars to do
that she can pay you can pay for the Patreon but you can't see well maybe it was
his last money the only thing that really makes sense to me is that maybe it was
someone who was just like yeah I was actually no but they bonded over the
niche it doesn't make sense they both knew from what I can tell this isn't
evil individual is that what it is we got an evil patron on our hands that's please you got some
explaining to you to do you that's a mad clear air yeah man kind of yeah stunned by that one
um stick them up asks a simple one when was the last time you genuinely fell over a few days
go. Do you remember what you were doing?
Well, at the moment in the UK, it's like, you know, it's winter. It's cold.
Icey. So after work, you know, I walk, you know, I live in the sticks.
Now, I'm quite country. So there's just one woe that goes around all the small houses
and it's a single track and whatnot. Half muddy, you know, there's no one off of water.
Ice. I was like my phone almost at the field. I step.
on straight on my ass
fine
it's just thing
when you fall over
if you don't expect it it's fine
as long as you don't tense up
you're fine it's quite an enjoyable experience
so I go to the field
I walk back same spot
Gaias walks there
Gaias falls over on the way back
same spot and it's like
you fucking try
even four legs can't save you
but this is my whole thing
it's like falling over is like a car crash
as long if you don't expect it and you don't
tense up it's only a good time
man
done about that one
no because it's like
wag doll white
because once you
it's when you slip over
when you slip over
you just you're just gone
and you don't realize that you're just
flying through the air
and then you're on your ass
it's a fun time
so it's like the next time you fall over
you're trying to say car crashes
are a fun time
to be honest
looking back at my motorbike crashes
they were all kind of fun
there's something about losing your whole body weight
just being flung
that is kind of fun and relaxing
I don't think you'll get it
relaxing
yeah because you're so powerless in that moment
and your body is just going somewhere
and you didn't choose where it goes
that's my biggest fear
it's like a journey right
it's like you're going on a cruise ship
so there's all I'm saying is it's a fun time
and when that next happens to you,
make your mind completely empty in that moment
and you'll have a fun time.
I don't remember the last time I fell over.
I walk into things a lot.
Yeah, I smack my limbs on things really hard all the time.
Yeah, I often walk into like doorways.
I often like walking backwards through doorways
and like I always hit my like shoulder or something.
I smacked my thumb on a door hand.
or this morning.
Yeah, I'm incredibly painful.
But falling over, though,
I can't really remember,
especially when it is ICM, so paranoid.
Yeah, same.
No, but that's why.
That, no, what you see there is you're so paranoid about falling over
that when you fall over,
but when you do fall over, you're going to be,
it's going to not be fun and you're going to hurt yourself more.
If you just go limp and you just fall over,
you're going to have a good time.
There's a cat hair everywhere
Yeah, I don't know man
I did see Argy and Paisley both fall over on ice though
When I went on a walk with them the other day
That's pretty funny
It's quite quite hilarious
I think dogs falling over is much funnier than humans
No, humans falling over is way funnier
No, because humans like it's
Like we're like a straight line
No, but with humans, humans don't have elegance when they fall over, animals do.
Dogs don't.
They don't.
No, they do, they do.
Because they never fully stack it.
Like when dogs fall over, it's just cute, it's like, aw.
But when humans fall over, it's like, like that dog that runs after that big bowl and goes,
it's funny.
No, but that's the thing dogs clearly know it's fun.
So then they just like stretch the size out and they just move.
I think there's an old jar that now.
Yeah, it is.
It's like the one on the swing.
It was just, it hits the swing.
Yeah, they know, man.
Tiger 1-1-1 says,
there's been a theory going around that Velma was intentionally made to be bad and offensive
to make people hate watch it.
If that's hypothetically true,
What do you think about companies like HBO, Netflix, etc?
Starting to make bad shows on purpose in the future,
basically trolling people into watching their shows.
Personally, I think that would be the worst timeline from an artistic perspective.
Thanks for the great pod bean I listen every week.
Keep on gaming on.
Kind of tease this earlier.
Disturbing concept for sure.
I think this might be what Bigmouth was designed to be from the get-go.
Designed to be, but then people just loved it.
Yeah, they were like, really, they were like is the bar really this low?
Wait, okay, now, let's play a little game.
How many episodes of Big Mouth do you think there are?
Probably over 100.
So your guess is 100?
Jim.
I'm gonna say like 70 odd.
Damn, really good guess, 62 episodes.
Ooh, 62 episodes of Big Mouth.
With more on the way.
That's seven seasons worth.
season seven's coming up
I mean
I can't remember
where I even stop
I hate watching that one
I yeah
seasons ago
I couldn't do it anymore
before it was like
oh wow
they've made another one
let's watch that
and now it's just like
they come out like
every other month
yeah
people just love it
I guess
people watch it
and must get the numbers
or whatever
I mean
part of me gets it
like something to put on that you really don't have to like
you don't even have to focus on it
you know it's much more enjoyable the less you focus on it
yeah until it just becomes like noise yeah it's just noise with a bit of movement
yeah um what do you think about this idea of these companies making things
intentionally bad to annoy people on purpose
to get people to watch it
I can't believe it
but yeah
but then I think about like
have you seen anything about this latest witcher show for example
that spin-off witcher show
in the movie
was it actually a show
blood tracket
something like that
blood origin
blood origin
and it's like
comedically bad
and it's just like
why
people are watching it though
because it was just being clown so hard
I'm sure a lot of people are
I went I we don't have HBO Max here
but I did search for Velma on now TV
it's not it was not on there so I couldn't watch it
but I probably would have watched a bit of it
just out of interest just because it was in the zeitgeist
yeah true
it's the the age old publicity thing
yeah it's kind of more marketing isn't it
it does seem a bit like I can't really imagine
a team sitting down
and being like
yeah let's just embarrass ourselves for this
yeah you know it might be more like
what's something that will be like controversial
and get people talking
yeah what if we made like Scooby-Doo without a dog
yeah that's how it began
they thought they were doing like the James Cameron
adding the S to Alien thing
yeah
Scooby-Doo without Scooby-Doo
it's more like taking alien
and removing that end
Ailey
Ailey
Yeah
What if
What if season one ends though
And
They're like doing this
This like mystery
And then
The mystery is Scooby
Yeah basically
They're like
I can't figure this out
And then they hear re-he
It's like
The Thanos T is
Yeah
And then season two
It's just all about the Scoob
No, they can't do it
What do you mean?
So I'm pretty sure
There is a character
That kind of fills in
That role
But it's a human
Um
No, no Scooby-Doo is now a fucking human
In this Scooby-Doo show
Yeah
I don't know, I haven't seen it
But that's the impression I'm getting
Uh
Yeah, I don't know
Man
I'm not freaking though
I don't know
dirty boy
bro do you know how old these shoes are
they're starting to fall apart
I'll tell you what I did actually go on though
when I was on now TV was
the first episode of The Last of Us
oh yes it's like an hour and 20 minute long
first episode
and I've never experienced it with media before
where it's like
you know that feeling when you've read the book
before seeing the film
and it's like
like kind of take something out of it even though it's like objectively pretty much like
really good it's it's it's faithful to the point where like they use like everything basically
like almost shot to shot like you'll recognize basically everything and I guess it's what
everyone's been asking for it's like a faithful uh conversion
So it's like, yeah.
It's a weird one because it's like, yeah, there's, there's quality there.
But I'm like not hyped because I know anything that happens.
Like I remember all the shots and all the characters and, yeah, maybe it gets more different as it goes along.
But I'm kind of more curious almost on people who have never played it.
Like, yeah.
Yeah, but you know the story though, surely.
No.
Nothing.
No.
I don't know how James.
just doesn't engage in any of like pop culture especially with how
totally online you are no pop culture I'm not involved in no but like you watch I
dipped out of Marvel I dipped out of Marvel like never ain't adrenners oh oh
what about adroners they're big pop culture anime yeah is it if no but even then
what pop what pop what pop what pop what pop what pop what pop
have I actually seen I've not seen my hero academia I've not seen one piece I've not
Onward shaggamble.
Naruto.
None of the big ones I've watched.
I'm watching Monster.
Monster.
Monster.
Yeah.
When's monster ever in the zeitgeist?
It's not.
Also, like a shot-for-shot adaption of the manga.
Really enough.
Read the manga then, bitch.
Because I was seeing, like, people,
because people were often clowning on that Halo show
for not being enough, like, the source material.
Now people are saying, like,
well, it's just boring,
because it is the sourceman, it's too accurate.
It's the story for people, for not gamers.
It's last of us, Phenormis.
Phenormis.
But it's also like, Pedro Pascal is, like, really good.
Yeah, he's a very, very good actor.
Yeah, he's perfect as Joel.
I like, who's, like, Tess, who...
Can I have women from Fringe?
She's Tess?
Oh, I thought I remember.
recognized her.
Yeah.
I'm from fringe
and the wire.
He's in destiny, Jim.
Not fucking. Yeah, when's the destiny
show coming out?
I'm surprised there hasn't been one.
It's not faithful enough. This is too entertaining.
This has too much to follow.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, yeah,
I'll keep watching that.
Although the, one of the biggest things to me was like, man, like the 2010s were really defined by like zombie media.
Holy shit, it was everything.
Ever since The Walking Dead Man?
Yeah.
It blew up, like huge.
Dead Island, it peaked at Dead Island and it was just kind of dropped off.
That's true.
Yeah, that was.
Dead Island rocked.
Dead Island was the best, the best zombies thing ever.
No.
No, no, no, no.
ever
the best piece of media
nothing
nothing will give you more fun
than Dead Island
yeah
no what's
what do you
what do you say then
and we didn't
we didn't even enjoy
dead island
with alcohol
because that would have
fucking whamped out
to like 11
um
I did
I did read
the Walking Dead
quite a lot
I read the 100 issues
of it
and then stopped
when yeah
whatever happens
when Greg gets
bonked
yeah
um
Greg no
Greg
He's Greg
He's just a random
MPC
That people scream his name
In The Last of Us too
Greg
Greg no
Not Greg and his dog
Yeah
Luda Joe star has one for you James
Does James have any interesting
Car Meetup stories
As I believe he's mentioned
Going on some
On the cast before
No
I don't think I have
Besides that we had to scatter
from a multi-story car park in Swindon away from the police.
That's the only one.
How did you know police were coming?
Because they blocked off the bloody multi-story car park.
How'd you get out then?
We booked out of the other entrance and it was just like Fast and Furious
and it was just like a hundred cars booking it in every direction.
Did you book it?
Yeah.
Why didn't you get caught?
Because you...
In numbers, bro.
They can't stop you in numbers.
What were you driving then?
The bluey.
How did you get away?
The loudest car ever.
Yeah, Vlory.
I was in Vlory.
And then there's the time when someone got...
We were at a car meet
and there was loads of people smoking weed
at a car meet.
And the only person who got arrested and pulled over
was a guy on a moped
for speeding on a moped.
There's the guy who got Brees thrown at his car.
Bree?
Oh, Bree.
There was a street where...
You know the dual carriage ran in Swindon?
Mm-hmm.
There was a street race going on there.
And the guy was in a Weno Clio.
And he was a notorious twat.
So he got on a street race with a guy in a mini.
And as he broke fast, someone got a block of Bury.
Threw it in the window and it covered the window.
Because it's a Weno.
It's French cars and brief.
Man, that stretch is actually, like, perfect thinking about it.
Yeah.
You can go pretty fast on there.
Interesting.
No, other than that, I've not got any other crazy car meet stories.
I tend to not go to them anymore because it's just like not an interesting crowd.
Because it's all like people go there for attention depending what car they drive
when I don't want that.
So that's not the car of culture I'm into.
That's too classy now anyway.
Yeah, it's just like I'd rather just some guy talked to me in a car park.
It's just like, oh, I like a car.
It's like, cool, man.
But yeah, I don't do car meets.
Because I know they're a big thing in America because America's got street takeovers.
You've probably seen clips of them where...
What does that mean?
You know, those big intersections where it's...
Loads people get out of their car, stand in a circle,
and loads of people just drift, do little skids in the middle.
Oh, yeah.
And there's loads of clips of people getting one over and shit
and getting killed in these.
Really?
Because then that sometimes needs to, like, gun violence.
Oh.
Because you've got all this shit going on.
It's really, like, while they're doing that in the middle of an intersection,
the people who are waiting are getting, like, furious.
Yeah.
It's like the worst part of car culture at the moment,
and America needs to stop it.
It's just gross.
Is that like a big American thing?
No, it only happens in America.
Would you go to...
They're not doing it in Japan ever, I swear what I saw them.
No, no, in Japan it's different because they're not blocking streets.
They're on like abandoned, like, um, docks at the middle of the night just drifting.
It's very different because they're not interfering with people.
But in America, the whole thing is like, it's a street takeover.
It's a different, different thing.
Would you go to like where they have all the hydraulics?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good cool thing.
It's just like your car looks cool.
Yeah.
And it bounces.
And it bounces, yeah.
Yeah, I'd like to see that IRO.
That'd be hilarious.
Japan.
Did they do bouncing?
Yeah.
They've got huge American scene in Japan.
Everything, if it's related to cars, it's done best in Japan, and that's just a fact.
Because they view passions differently, though.
Smein Choker.
That was a weird one here.
Did you guys ever have a teacher who was fired after some sort of scandal?
There was a PE coach at my high school who was.
unanimously hated by everyone because he was constantly on a power trip and loved to
make fun of students one day an amateur porno with him and it started spreading
around school causing him to be fired it was a strange video and that two people
were doing it while on the couch and many other men stood around watching and
cheering there's even a point where they're banging against a window and the
coach goes around the other side and begins licking the window well yeah you
should probably lose your you should be fired if you're working in a school and you've been
seen in a dirty porno I I don't if it's a clean porn no no because if what if
Johnny Sends wanted to like change career no well no because it's like the
safeguarding of children right yeah but like what does that have to do with his
previous job
Do you guys remember anything like this?
I don't ever remember hearing of when I was in sixth form a local primary school having something.
A full on pedder.
Yeah, a full on pedder.
Now I'm doing just heinous shit.
But sorry, that term is just like...
Pedder asked.
Full on pedder.
no wasn't mr g a bit of uh i wouldn't call this guy in the thingy you know full on pedder necessarily
no that's just creep yeah yeah yeah i mean
that it
i i i i i i i i think that is a different thing because like that
a lot i think a lot of um women school teachers as well have been
discovered for that sort of specifically in America you yes you hear about it like weirdly
often oh what like teachers having relations with the boys no like teachers having an
only fan no it's having a lot in this country as well on this kind yeah yeah I think you're
right um recently those a big one recently like is that is that illegal that's the thing
that's what I'm saying I don't know like this coach like I'm sure it's a case by case
but like having porn on the side
there is that check you have to do
if you do any job that's to do with
children yeah um but I don't know
if like what this kind of thing
means yeah fuck knows
but I'm pretty sure we had a bit of a
a creepster
we did but I don't know if that was all like
like secondary school yeah I don't know if that was all
hearsay like rumours
what he ended up quitting pretty or being fired
pretty soon after.
Was it the D.T. teacher?
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, there was a lot of rumours about him.
Yeah, yeah, they were.
Yeah, like dropping pens and then telling girls to like...
Yeah, I'm going to pick it up or whatever him.
In front of him.
He was a power trip teacher.
Yeah, yeah.
Big definitely.
And yeah, he was like a really scary.
Uh-huh.
But, yeah, there's all sorts of stuff that was like spoken about.
But you never really knew what the truth was.
Yeah, especially because you're so young at the time, you have no idea what's actually going on.
Let's do a couple more here.
Suspicious Choice, 858.
Hello, Mingers, New Jarling here.
I started listening to the Posdak in December of 2022, but with one small twist.
I've been listening to each episode in reverse chronological order.
It's like watching Memento, but instead of finding out who murdered your wife,
I'm trying to figure out why you keep saying bear bear.
It's a pretty fun way of listening to the cast
and having moments where I finally get the context for gags in previous episodes
after going backwards through 10 episodes.
Like why you guys are constantly talking about porn addiction.
One last thing.
It's actually because of our teacher in the second.
I still have no idea which is James, which is Jamie,
and which one is Jim.
Love the cast and appreciate you, lads.
I guess I'd never considered how confusing that potentially is
Because Jim is also a shortened version for James
Yeah, that's the thing is that the Nick James doesn't
But I never say Jamie
James does
True
So but then you can pick up
But imagine these
Imagine these people are only listening to the audio version
Because if they watch it
You can instantly see who's talking and whose voice goes and whose voice
And whose face
Yeah
I don't know
don't necessarily blame people for that um i also don't even really blame someone for listening
in this order i've done that a podcast before i think that's kind of a cool idea i could never do
that though really i've got to start from one and go through it's why i don't really listen to
podcast anymore actually true i have in saying that i have never done that i would do that i would
get into a podcast or this is what i do still i'll get into a podcast know what i like and then go back
at the beginning.
Yeah.
And it's really frustrating actually
because there might be
like an episode on a podcast
that's specifically interesting
for that one episode.
But I don't want to listen to it
because it's like,
no, I need to start from number one
and go through.
Oh, right.
And catch up.
I think it depends on like the show or whatever.
Because this is like,
I don't know, there's so many layers
that jar onboarding is like a process
in and of itself, you know.
It's almost like destiny.
yeah no we are just destiny
um
but then there are other
there are like some podcasts i'll only listen to like
where they have like a different guest on each episode
and it's like
being pick and choose if it's a guest i can yeah yeah
no i i can do that when like the point of the podcast
is that yeah this person
so if obviously if there's a person that
like you don't like or
just talks about stuff you're not interested
it and then you don't have to watch it
um
yeah
you do you man
I want to know you guys thoughts
on watching content
at anything above
one time speed
yeah I can't
that's just wrong
I got a bit of a confession to me guys
you watch everything at like 1.5
nah I watch a lot of you
conversational YouTube content I'll watch
at 1.25.
Yeah, I do understand that.
I would do that.
It cuts like a quarter out of the runtime.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, but I don't watch
the type of videos you guys watch
where I've got like a two hour long
mouth on video to get through.
Yeah, you do.
Warhammer law.
Yeah.
No, stop.
If anyone's watching Lutin on 1.25,
they deserve to be executed.
You don't skimp on that man's sexy voice.
But
the thing I find is that
on one time speed
if my mind has a short wonder
you know like down to the shops or whatever
then I haven't missed too much by the time
I start to like pay attention again
whereas if it's on anything faster
it's like oh
like the conversation's totally changed
and I just miss like a big chunk and I have to rewind it
and then my brain does the same thing
so I have to rewind it like five times
Yeah, I know what you mean
I was just wondering
I can't go above any
I've tried but it kind of
distorts it way too much
I think here's a question
Have you ever had one headphone with one
video on one headphone with another
And then have them like that
And then you're just like
Absorbing double the content
While playing a video game
Yeah I hold one book in this hand
And one in that hand
And my left eye reads the left book
And my right eye reads the right book
One major one
while you're listening to two different audio books.
Yeah.
So what I would say is I think there's a problem now with younger people
and is probably from our generation of, well, of over-stimulation.
Oh, yeah.
So why are you actually willingly choosing to consume that much stuff at once?
What's the reason for it?
Because it can't be good in any way for the brain.
Reading a book with the I-Each?
No.
No, as in like, you know what I mean?
it's like a common meme online it's just like
watching seven media at once so my brain
doesn't have a single fortway
but like the amount of people I talk to where it's just like
oh I'll be playing cod and I'll have
I'll have like a watch video
in the background and then a total war
video in the background while talking to my girlfriend
and my mates it's like
you can't do all that at once
but I will say though I like
you got your sieve match going
that's no but sieve is very different
sieve is very different because
sieve is not cod like you can't
You can't do other things while playing Cod.
No, if I'm playing Cod, I'm 100% in Cod.
Yeah, but with CIV, you can...
Not with Cod.
On Apex, I'll listen to music.
But Cod, no, I've got to be...
100%.
It depends on the pacing of the thing you are enjoying.
Exactly, and SIV is a slow burner.
Because it's like, oh, I'm waiting for Alex to take his turn.
I'm going to just go watch a YouTube show for 20 minutes.
When we're playing Siv, I will have Spotify playing.
Yeah, I'll listen to music when playing Siv.
See, I don't know how anyone listening.
to any music when playing.
Really?
I can't...
As you were just saying,
like, when it's not your turn or whatever,
like,
it's just like in the background.
No, I can't...
No, no, no, no.
Music, this is a thing.
This is why...
Music to me is different.
When I listen to music,
I listen to music.
It's not ever a background thing.
Never.
What about when you're driving?
No, because I go for drivers
to listen to music.
But you're doing more than one thing?
Oh.
No, no.
Driving's different.
Driving's a different.
No, driving is not different.
driving
No, no, it is to me.
It is to me
because driving a car
is not hard.
It's not hard,
but it's just
like AI.
I focus more
at SIV
most of the time
than I do driving
because driving in traffic
is not fun
or interesting.
I got the Clio
sideways actually today
on the monitor what.
What do you mean
drifted it?
Yeah,
it's really easy.
If you just go fast enough
the back end just slides.
Oh, is it bit icy as well?
No. I did have that going round a roundabout in Iceland in a big SUV 4x4.
How did you find drive in a big motor?
Um, it was a hybrid.
Hmm. And it had the torque of an electric vehicle. Nice. What brand car was? It'll be a diesel. It'll be a diesel. It wasn't a diesel. What do you mean it was petrol? Petrol. Petrol hybrid.
Well, yeah, that's because it's a hybrid.
What car brand?
That's what I just said.
I just said it's a hybrid.
I didn't hear you.
My mind was in something else for it.
Well, maybe if you listen to me, then you wouldn't have to interrupt me with stupid comments like what you just said.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, what vehicle?
What brand?
Yeah.
High and I?
Was it a Santa Fe?
No, Mitsubishi.
Was it a P.
Eclipse.
Mitsubishi Eclipse.
but you just go...
No, the thing of the eclipse
is, the eclipse before that one
was a sports, like, model.
It was a sports car.
Yeah, that's why people hate the eclipse
because they milfified it.
They milfified it.
I thought you loved that.
No.
And it was like brown?
It was a brown Mitsubishi eclipse.
His base...
Yeah.
Awful.
No, no.
Type in eclipse.
Ninety-nine.
Yeah.
It pissed me off how easy and comfortable it was
Yeah, they turned that
car into a milfmobile
That's bizarre
That car rocks
Yeah
Well, how do you rate Mitsubishi though
Oh, Mishabishi were at a point
Like
literally one of the best in the world
Oh
And then they decided to milfify their entire range
Who isn't doing that at this point though?
Toyota
They do have one though
Well they of course they have milford bills
But they have like cool cars
But Mishabishi literally killed all their cool cars
Because they're Mishabishi's famous for wallying
Taking a normal car and then bombing it around trees in Scandinavia
And then they just turned all of their cars into King's Milt's drive
Is that such a bad thing there
Yes
Not when Mishabishi Evo's got killed for the Mifs
Like I were willing to sacrifice anything for the Mills
but EVOs?
No.
It was quite nice to drive though, I can't lie.
Did you get a motor motor though?
Not in this country.
I think they're ridiculous.
They're stupid.
They're 100% totally unnecessary.
Yeah.
In this country.
There are plenty of countries where it's like I wouldn't want to drive not in one.
Like.
Like Iceland.
Why?
In winter.
You wouldn't catch me dead in the bloody Salika in Iceland.
Jesus Christ.
No, but if you're in an Evo,
full-wheel drive, 400 brake horse power
and you can just power out of anything.
Like, you've seen the videos where it's like
a truck is stuck and a Subaru,
a baby driver Subaru just pulls a truck
out of snow.
They're designed for that environment.
The Milford Mobile isn't.
Wally cars, yes.
Then there's the comfort and warmth
aspect. No.
Yes.
You get warmth from your turbo
making mad power.
No, that's,
an actual thing like turbos make large heat so if you're in boost all the time it's making
heat and that is going into the your boost boost yeah like the solution is not
movemobiles in snow they're actually worse in snow because normally the front will drive
and front will drive that's not what you want in snow but a lot of them are phone will drive
we need is a cleo in snow amazing
There's like a certain amount of security when you're in like a big thing.
But that's the issues they all use here to buy these big cars is security and how safe you feel.
I think the safer you make the person in the car feel the more likely they are to get into crashes
because they don't understand the danger of what they're doing.
You're driving a two-ton box of steel that can kill families.
So by making the driver safe, you make everyone else less safe.
because that person does not understand the predicament they can cause.
If you make it so that every car would kill the driver, the roads would be safer.
But also a bigger, a bigger, like, like space, right, so the wheels are further apart.
Mm-hmm.
Better for ice.
No.
Yes.
No.
It's an objective truth.
No.
Four-wheel drive.
No, four-wheel drive...
Turbo.
Big, big.
Big bad.
Big is weight that you're putting on a pivot point where if you lose the back end and you've got...
No, but if you're just going to...
If you counteract...
If you counteract that weight with a bigger space...
No.
Yes.
In snow, you want small four-wheel drive.
Subaru's.
Evos.
On ice.
Yeah.
Ice.
Yes.
Rally cars literally race.
at 150 plus
120 mile an hour
in the worst conditions possible
every modern rally car
is a hatchback
they're not big cars
they're tiny little cars of full-wheel drive
that's what you want
they're going 120 miles an hour
yeah which means even the slightest thing
is instant crash and die
yeah most people don't drive like that
on a daily basis
no but the small is better
when it comes to snow
and ice at 120 miles an hour
No, at any mile an hour, small is better.
But I thought people like these motors
because they also can fit all your shopping in the back.
No, but this is the thing, they don't actually improve that.
They don't.
The idea that SUVs are like so much better.
But my dad has one, and you can fit, like, a...
Well, you can fit that same stuff in an estate.
You'd fit more in an estate.
You can fit a lot of the things you can fit on that in a saloon.
You don't...
The idea that...
the SUVs suddenly mean you've got more space
is not true. It's also that
you're like high up and in a tank
that people like, right? Yeah, which is
why there's more accidents on the roads.
Yeah, I hate it myself.
More, what do you mean more accidents on the roads?
No, because it's that you, you will get
this as soon as you get on a bike.
Because there's no box saving you.
There's no, there's nothing protecting you on a bike.
But in a car, you're protected by how
much square footage of fucking still
and all this moto-moto shit.
I generally think cars would be safer if they were more dangerous.
Is that like the snake eating its own tail off?
No.
Like, I'm going to remove my airbag.
Am I going to drive safer?
No.
Yeah, disproving your whole point.
But I'm not...
But something you're neglecting to talk about...
Yes.
Also is, like, suspension.
Yes.
The size of the wheels.
I would...
I would...
100% say that car suspension is far too soft.
No, but for driving on ice slash like gravel slash snow,
you need bigger wheels and you need...
Not necessarily bigger wheels.
Yeah, definitely bigger wheels.
For driving on snow, for driving on ice.
No, because Wiley cars don't suddenly use bigger wheels than they're driving in snow.
The suspension is where you're really going with it.
Because when you're using on that terrain, you need softer suspension.
Some of these vehicles I saw in Iceland.
You're talking like Hyluxes, lifted off the ground with...
There's giant wheels.
And one of them was just like a Ford Transit van,
but like six feet off the ground with giant wheels put on it.
And they just glide along the road like it's nothing.
So you're talking like stuff like that.
That's in Iceland, by the way.
yeah huge you see those pretty regularly yeah huge wheels lifted
but that that that isn't but though they're not driving on roads
they're built to go off road where you need the ground clearance and the bigger dies
like an iceland as well a lot of the roads to go to like the more scenic places
it's not it's not like concrete yeah because it's just gravel dirt and
yeah in that case you would need a four like an SUV
I wouldn't say an SUV
You'd need something lifted
Like something higher off the ground
You'd need a ground clearance
Yeah
But the thing is
Like you look at any of these range rovers here
They're not of that
Because they're supposed to look like
4x4 by 4s, you know
We don't have the environmental excuse here
Yeah
That's why they're all luxury
Um like classism cars
Mm-hmm
But what I'm saying is in snow
Being further up
Is probably going to be better for your car
being higher off like from the snow
yes
because then if you go into deeper snow as well
you're not just fucked immediately
no you don't like my Nissan in the snow
no because it's too low
I was imagining driving my car
yeah your car's also pretty low
it's very low and it would just be like
but I think in like you think of
any like Sweden norway
the countries that deal with with snow
and extreme temperatures
they have normal cars there
because they work there
and you can still drive a normal cars
like if you're going off the beating track
you'd need way suspension
and you need to have
change it because then you're gonna
it's better suited for that environment
it's like bringing a mammoth back
it's not suited for this environment
so it's not going to work
yeah
but I hate SUVs
yeah I think they're
they're ridiculously like ugly
none of them could look
You can't make them look good.
No.
You can't.
By design, they're too big.
Mm-hmm.
And we don't need them.
The nicest ones are the Mazda ones.
Mazda knows how to design things because they're just going for the covenant design.
Yeah.
Make everything look bubbly and it's fine.
That's the true sequel to Halo 3 is Mazda's current design philosophy.
If you want something warding and it's in Halo law, Maz.
Yeah.
Mazder.
I've got one here.
One more here, guys.
I want to end on.
from a poopy cum man
thoughts on there being a battle pass in the new suicide squad game
I'm super disappointed in this as it seems we can't have a game
just be a game anymore always needs micro transactions
really hope this doesn't ruin Kevin Comroy's last time as Batman
don't know if you've seen this Jim but no I haven't
on 4chan what looks like a real screenshot of like the main menu
has leaked for this suicide squad game
and not only does it have like
you know the awful card menu design
um where everything's just on the screen at the same time for no reason
and it's like ugly and looks terrible
there's a battle pass page there's six different currencies
like load outs for each all the destiny kind of stuff
like it's just like any anticipation i have
was like sapped out from seeing that image um it's just like
yeah that is the capacity to ruin it
yeah
why does a game like that need a battle
I'm so sick of it.
What is it? What is in it?
Who cares?
What I guarantee it is
is they've been working on a single player game
for years and it's rock steady
and they've been doing it for years and years
and then Warner Bros are like
how much
how many copies are we going to sell?
We've been pumped money into this for like
six years.
Must be the biggest gap between any of that game.
Yeah, so they'll probably be thinking
all right we need to put stuff in
cram it in to make it
mu-moo money you know
it's like the
what was that
Arkham Knights
is that what it was called
Gotham Knights
oh yeah
from a few months back
that's already 50% off
like on sale
yeah they
they
they pooed it
it looks bad
I don't understand
every single developer
had the same idea at the same time
to copy destiny
yeah but not
But copy it in a vacuum.
Let's just make Destiny won.
I remember that with Anthem, they were like,
they specifically made a point of saying,
well, we're not looking at the competition.
We're not going to...
Which is just like, what?
It's a lie.
It's a lie.
Well, yeah, they stole a bunch of design ideas from the competition,
but then didn't learn the lessons the other companies already had.
It's just crazy, man.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I guess it was just a leak or whatever
so maybe it's not real
but it looked pretty official to me man
disappointing
when's it even meant to come out
I assume this year
how long can you sit on
like a suicide score game
I know it's crazy that
um
which to me is just not that exciting anyway
no to be honest
like they've kind of got to put the work in
to make it interesting
thing to me.
Yeah.
I would have much preferred
like a
green arrow game
or something.
Batman Beyond is what
I wanted but
sure,
yeah,
that would have been cool.
Yeah.
No.
What's that then,
fellas?
Another one for the book.
It'sini
San Sik.
my fingers are compared to yours.
Bro, I'm underweight.
