Starting point is 00:00:00 Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gents, and welcome to Corncast number 21. I'm your host, Alex, joined as always, by the legendary Rick and Morty follower himself, James. Good afternoon, morning, evening or night. He doesn't sound happy about that. And the Halo follower, you can hear in the background there. I'm not happy about that. Damn. And Beast, who, I don't know, are you back?
Starting point is 00:00:30 to being uh you know with your catchphrase and everything it seemed a bit low last time uh you know people people have the option to believe what they want to believe i reckon mhm people have the option to believe whatever they want to believe and with that want to shout out the patrons before we get too deep into this head over to our patreon and have a look at the perks like the silly name readings that's in the middle of the show let's do some housekeeping dylan Milne says the car seems to be at peak form when discussing the brutalisation of wild
Starting point is 00:01:05 animals and I wanted to bring this up because Rubin you had to clear off for the last section so you missed this comment and I wanted to get your sort of take on it it was a question about and you have to bear with me actually while I find it here
Starting point is 00:01:21 but it's worth it trust me is another what would win it's more it's a bit more deep than that, actually. I was going to say good, because just what would win, those ones, you know, you can't, if
Starting point is 00:01:38 you want a good answer, you have to go deeper than the question suggests you would have to anyway. But that's why they're good. I like it just to be up front and honest about the depth required there. I like, you know, for the question to demand a bit more, you know, so when we, obviously, it was a polar bear
Starting point is 00:01:53 and a gorilla. Hmm. But obviously, depending on habitat, depending on environment, they have fighting in that would also well that's what i liked about this question is that have pretty explained parameters which were do you reckon a human at peak physical condition could knock out a horse in one punch yeah assuming the horse just stands there and the punch has perfect form would such a feat be possible if yes then what do you think the largest animal would be that could
Starting point is 00:02:23 still get one bombed by a person but okay but the thing is the reference person here is peak Mike Tyson. Yeah, we settled on Mike Tyson is the person. Yeah, I think so, because his fists are obviously considered weapons. Yeah, legally. So, yeah, okay. So giraffe strikes, just obvious,
Starting point is 00:02:41 ostrich, obvious. Not even necessarily Mike Tyson in his peak. Mike Tyson in maybe, is there an even more peak Mike Tyson? Is there like a mega Mike Tyson? Yeah. It didn't ever exist because it didn't have to. He wasn't training to knock out a horse in one punch.
Starting point is 00:02:56 He was training to fight humans and have like stamina and strength for prolonged periods of time. So could M. Bison beat a horse? Oh, definitely. He doesn't even need to punch it. The muscles on that guy. I think I'm trying to think largest animal.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Because, you know, elephant comes to mind, and I'm like, no, elephant, it couldn't. Yeah, we said rhino and elephant is probably a no-go. I don't even think a hippo. I think that they're just too big, like the head and skulls are too dense for humans to be able to like do that.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Um, honestly, I think, I think, I, I, maybe, maybe Mike Tyson could, if a, if a gorilla just stood, I don't know, guerrillas are pretty, you look at them, there is a lot of, there's a lot of muscle and, and power there. I feel like he would break on the silverback skull, you know, he would break around it. So, I don't know, I feel like gorillas are so human-like and they're so vulnerable with their brains, though. Yeah, are their skulls quite thin, you know? like baby human skulls. Yeah, I don't know. It's a toughie. I mean, definitely rhino and elephant and hippo, I agree. Those are too big.
Starting point is 00:04:07 What about like a lion? I reckon you could, I reckon a big human, you know, could definitely knock the fuck out of a shark, if it wanted to. Yeah, no, we actually were that. Why don't we, why aren't we just basing this on Batman in, like, Arkham City?
Starting point is 00:04:21 You already watched him beat the fuck out of a shark. I don't think there's anything that Batman and Alken City couldn't fight those. So it's not fair. Brian Tierney left a comment about my comment on Daredevil Season 3 saying hi boys today Alex mentioned that he tried Daredevil season 3 and bailed on it due to its starting right after Defenders As someone who's watched season 3 multiple times I can confidently say Defenders doesn't really matter It gets vaguely referenced here and there but it doesn't really affect it
Starting point is 00:04:50 I would definitely say that you should go back to it and give it a try As in my humble opinion it's the best season of Daredevil and one of the best seasons of television Netflix has put out yeah i i don't know i might check it out because i remember the fight scenes being quite impressive in in that show and it was kind of what was keeping me going but yeah i had heard that it's good but you know there's just so much shit so much shits to keep up with actually i find with daredevil something that actually makes that show worse is that it's in the mc u yeah yeah i would prefer it if it was standalone and he would do better to be in like the John Wick universe or something
Starting point is 00:05:31 because then they could just have him you know really really hurt people which is what we all want to see but it has to be in baby Marvel world yeah I'll think about it maybe if I watch like one of the fight scenes from it on YouTube and if it's good enough then maybe I'll consider it
Starting point is 00:05:46 but Kaz said I jokingly commented about Jim's Dark Souls gameplay because I knew he was doing stuff for the podcast didn't expect to be on the cast lull thanks for the shock edit I play similarly to the whole shelling thing, usually. I'm not good at the series, but I love the dual
Starting point is 00:06:03 great swords. I've never played it, so I don't know what he's talking about, but that sounded like Dark Souls 3? It sounded like Dark Souls 3, yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Wait, what was... Could you duel Great Swords and Dark Souls 2? What was it cool one? You could, yeah. Oh, Dark Souls 1? No, you can't in Dark Souls 1, can you?
Starting point is 00:06:20 Well, I mean, you could, but, I mean... It wasn't really, you know, you didn't use the other one as a sword, really, did you? It wasn't the same. It wasn't... Yeah, it was just bad. to do that sort of shit. And we can round this section off with a comment from James Stanley, who said, I kind of toyed with the idea of Mass Effect, bouncing back from the brink for some time,
Starting point is 00:06:41 mainly because there hasn't been much of a serious attempt by other developers to occupy the big, sprawling space opera niche that's been left half vacant. I don't know if this would change the J.R. Boys' mind about it, but I read somewhere that the development team, back from when the series was still strong, will be returning for this new game. On a side note, what does Jarre think of BioWare's other big franchise Dragon Age,
Starting point is 00:07:04 which incidentally also had a teaser at the Game Awards? So, yeah, I'm still going to have to be proven on the Mass Effect thing because I think just under EA, they just don't seem to give the teams the time and creative energy they need. I'm sure if, like, that original MassFit 3 team was just given more time and energy that game could have come together in a better way. And as far as Dragon Age is concerned, I've just never cared about it. I just don't care about Dragon Age. I've tried it on numerous occasions.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I tried Dragon Age 2 when that came out. And I tried Dragon Age Inquisition as well. I was really like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I played it. And I said, this is boring. I don't know it. I've, uh, well, Dragon Age 2 is like the black sheep. It's like the one everyone knows is, is fucking garbage.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Which, yeah, do you remember when it came out? There was like the controversy that like every dungeon was like a, like a re-skin of the same basic layout or something. me like that there was a lot there's a lot of like controversy it was like rushed wasn't it yeah that's because that's in the time there was just like oh bioweur why don't you just do everything so everything was just shit basically but i've uh i've downloaded dragon age origins from EA so i'll probably give that a shot in i played inquisition as well but i just couldn't get into it it just hasn't got that kind of like lord of the ring's charm that makes you hooked yeah like Skyrim has that chart like that kind of charm but i just don't get anything
Starting point is 00:08:26 It just seemed really generic to me, whereas Mass Effect was so, they just put so much thought into that universe. Skyrim had this really sort of wonderful atmosphere that you can definitely give Skyrim that, well, you know, when you don't witness a bug happening, you know, you're quite immersed. But it was something about Dragon Age Inquisition
Starting point is 00:08:45 that it just, I don't know, it just sort of felt, I mean, it wasn't very fun to play, it was one of the main things where I was just, I don't want to play this, I'm just sort of holding one button and the world isn't really hooking me at all. I'm just not interested in. presentation. It was ages ago though, so I don't know. I'm probably just talking out my
Starting point is 00:09:00 ass. Yeah, the same as you guys. I'm not crazy about that world. Nothing about it has drawn me in at all. So, and I normally prefer like fantasy to sci-fi. But yeah, it's one of those things, like an uncanny thing you just can't put your finger on. It's like I've got my fantasy, you know? I don't really have that one, so I don't care. Did it come out after the Witcher as well, Inquisition? Yes, I believe so. Oh, really? Yeah. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah, and it just didn't, like, compared to that. Because I remember that Dragon Age game, didn't it win, like, Game of the Year or something? It must have been, like, a pretty slow year, or I don't know. Yeah, it got, like, really good reviews and stuff. There must be something to it. Yeah, I could sort of tell, looking at it, like, yeah, I see why people like this. And I want to, but I don't. What about this idea of the original development team coming back?
Starting point is 00:09:56 back and giving Emmy another go. It's just to, okay, prove it then. In the comment, he said, I haven't actually checked up on this, the development team back from when Massabet was good is coming back for this new one. I read that some of them are coming back. I'm not, you know, it's sort of unheard of in the industry to just rehire a whole team. You know, most people have, like, moved on, you know, they don't care. But, you know, it's like, yeah, that was a time in my life.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I now work for a different company. Also, like, the face of it was Casey Hudson for the longest time, and he just left again. Well, my thing, when people say about teams, when you think of teams, the most important people to a game being similar to the old games is the creative heads. Think, you know, Mono Fair 2, Respawn Entertainment. The main people from there are in respawn, hence why Titan Falls good. If Casey Hudson's not or any of the major people from Mass Effect 2 or 1 aren't coming back, then I wouldn't say it's the same team. It's not going to be the same because the creatives aren't there. I guess what you want is someone who knows what they want
Starting point is 00:10:58 and they know how to get what they want out of their team and you have to hope that that aligns with what players want which is well you know I mean the guy that was in charge of Halo 5 knew what he wanted and no one else wanted it though I have no hope yeah it's just one more so okay prove it then prove that you're worth delving back into
Starting point is 00:11:19 so it's happened guys there's apparently a new strain of of COVID. It's kind of wreaking havoc on the UK at the moment. As of today, recording this, uh, Bojo came out and gave his profound speech, saying how Tier 4 is being implemented in London and other places in the UK. It's pretty serious stuff. It's a huge fucking downer, obviously, right before Christmas, he's like, yeah, we're changing the rules of sorry. Yeah, it just sucks. Imagine if they'd had the force, like, to do this a couple of weeks ago, so that people could see each other at Christmas.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Do you know what wasn't worth it? That like three months we just had of just normal life? Why did we have that? I'm sick of it just being reactive instead of preventative in any way, you know? It's like Jesus Christ, it's so much, just make a decision already. Like it almost would have been better if we just hadn't locked down if you're going to do it like this, you know? It's just half measures all the time.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yeah, that's the thing. And a virus is more likely to mutate like it has if it goes through more. people so I mean this is even something you can blame the government for but they didn't London should have been no foresight London should have been stricter this whole time and over these yeah over December because obviously there's been it's been spreading like crazy because of this all the shoppers it's Christmas shopping season which they wanted to encourage and massage that so you you know they're getting some income but now we got to deal with this so so like I don't see this
Starting point is 00:12:51 ending like March it's going to be the same I can't see this ending for at least like till august next year well yeah and apparently it's a thing where because now the vaccine is out there a lot of people feel like oh I guess it's sort of done then eh so they're just kind of returning back and not really giving a shit anymore even though it takes a lot of time to distribute this kind of shit well and for it to even make a difference yeah yeah I mean I think maybe some people seem to see a vaccine as being well if you've got it they can just inject that and it will fix it and it's like,
Starting point is 00:13:23 it's not how it works if you've already got it and it's already doing something you've already got it man that's it's it's not just a magic it's not like an antidote yeah sorry we just had to address some mic difficulties
Starting point is 00:13:35 on Discord or whatever but yeah it's just saying it's on about it's not an antidote it's gonna take a while it should put it in the water and then use the microwave device from Batman Begins and magic
Starting point is 00:13:51 Or like a mass effect with the genophage Yeah, that, yeah I don't want Bill Gates doing the genophage They already are you, you idiots Have you not been following the bloody media Have you not seen that England is nothing more than a test ground For this vaccine that hasn't been tested or proven We are just doing this
Starting point is 00:14:10 Even though thalidomide isn't a vaccine derived from And pre-existing virus It was just a chemical mixture I guess That would be the term James, you said the other night you had some angry, passionate thing you were going to talk about. Oh, no, that was me trying to annoy Ruben and Jim. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:30 What? Why would that annoy them? I was like, I was starting. I was like, well, I guess I won't see any of that. I'll be able to respond because I'll be at work tomorrow. So I just, I just sort of said, okay. I have, recently, I have been playing Titan Fool 2. And it is basically modern warfare too.
Starting point is 00:14:47 And that is a good thing. And a bad thing. What, the bad part is you're addicted or something. No, no, it's in like the, there's fucking dodgy connection. It's just more warfare too, Ben, when there was lagging that game, it's just like that in Titanfall, which isn't really acceptable nowadays. Like that kind of shit is a lot of dedicated service. EAP2P, man, EAP2P.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Oh, that's a shame. And then it's just melee. Mele's bullshit. Oh, yeah, I hate the fucking melee in it as well. It makes no sense. The whole game's about movement, but as soon as you get in a room, It's just spam melee and you kill them instantly. It's just called Modern Warfare too.
Starting point is 00:15:23 But it's still a very good game. And if you can play it, you definitely should. If not for the multiplayer, for the fantastic single player. Yes. Yeah. And it's like you're so used to Apex Legends and it's fluid movement. And then you play Titanfall and it's weird to get used to, but there's a lot more there. I did wonder, like, he's not said anything.
Starting point is 00:15:45 We were talking about Titanfall for a good few seconds. Fuck. this is this is this is this is the curse cast sorry might as well wait off it is the curse one he's back hello what okay this this is just the curse one then I guess we're just got to embrace it we're talking about Titanfall Jim yeah no and when you weren't saying anything I was like what sure surely he's got something to James James said I'm playing Titanfall two and then everyone went silent and then I said that pisses me off and then this God noise happened said the single player was good as james have you played any of the single player yet oh no
Starting point is 00:16:24 has he gone now no fucking way james that's what he's got like really consistent internet there was a no right yeah yeah he's back he did just leave okay yeah yeah he was getting his drink yeah oh i should light a fire up my ass why um because it makes the room smell nice I mean, if you guys are done with Titanfall, there is some pretty epic gaming news with the whole the cyberpunk thing removed from PlayStation entirely.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I couldn't believe that. I'm upset about that. Why? Because, because cyberpunk does not deserve all of the hate it is getting. It is an excessive amount of hate born from an excessive level of hype.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah. I don't think it's their fault. I mean, they marketed the game well. And then everyone just went nuts of it. For some reason, people are watching like pre-rended E3 trailers and being like that's what the game looks like those are the graphics those are Keanu Reeves
Starting point is 00:17:23 graphics that's like that's not that's not what the fucking game's gonna look like you fucking idiots is there not the concern that they just never showed gameplay of it on like base models obviously the Xbox 1 and PS4 issue but just then there are other people who seem to take issue just with the game
Starting point is 00:17:38 you know even when they're playing it on a PC and it's like running and stuff and I don't know there are a whole lot of things and it's it's It's difficult to talk about because it's obviously caught up in the more controversial aspects which are old-gen. It's basically like a nightmare situation for a game developer when no one's actually really talking about the game itself
Starting point is 00:18:00 and it's just about the meta story of it now. Have you played anymore? I think Sony has done the right thing before we talk about the actual game. I am pretty fucking tired of games being released unfinished. So, like, developers need to have some sort of penalty, you know, some sort of come up. Because it is bullshit. Like, imagine you're a dude, you just play games on your PS4, and, like, you've been excited for
Starting point is 00:18:29 cyberpunk for fucking eight years, and then it comes out, and it looks like a PS1 game. Yeah, that shit ain't cool. When you've seen all the stuff they've shown off, you expect there to be some consistency across all platforms to yeah it's a tiring standard now because it's like what when is the best time to play a game like just a year after it's out like what's
Starting point is 00:18:51 even the point of release dates anymore yeah yeah exactly and maybe they should have done something if they've really needed to release the game release them release it on platforms at different times yeah what needs to happen
Starting point is 00:19:07 what needs to happen is gamers need to change gamers need to change gamers need to stop expecting the best. They need to stop hyping and or companies need to stop behaving like shitters. Yeah, they feed each other.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah, they do. Gamers, gamers have no patience. So what happens is the companies crunch their whole team and release a subpar product. Crunch time's bad. But at the end of the day, why,
Starting point is 00:19:37 if you know a game's going to be a buggy mess, why would you then buy it on day one to then complain that it's a mess when you could just not do that. I had already bought my code last December so like, you know, I was committed. I know we all like games if you all want to play games, but
Starting point is 00:19:55 we know the gaming industry is fucked. We can't blame anyone but ourselves that going into it and knowing it's fucked and complaining it's fucked. It's just frustrating from the aspect of like the people who design the game, the people who make it day to day are the ones who kind of fuck the most by it
Starting point is 00:20:11 then it comes down to these like business decisions and it's all about the bottom line and they've got to release in certain quarters of the year and that just kind of throws them under the bus and makes them look really bad when they would know the state the game is in but it just becomes an uncontrollable beast at some point the problem is capitalism
Starting point is 00:20:29 yeah but you're making a product that needs to be sold and yeah it doesn't really exist without capitalism it does yeah in the perfect socialist utopia you'd get these games for free and they would work because the team
Starting point is 00:20:44 would have the white amount of hours to develop it and everyone would have any wages and then the government would directly control almost everything about our lives yeah but their government would be good people
Starting point is 00:20:54 I mean which they do already do kind of but you know yeah the key word there was the perfect which is difficult to achieve in reality but I just think crunch is bad
Starting point is 00:21:05 and the gaming industry needs to change but until I don't know why it's I don't know the crunch thing like where I really stand on it because I don't know
Starting point is 00:21:15 in what creative field where Crunch is not kind of innate I read something interesting which was like okay look okay so crunch obviously let's say they enjoy their job and everyone stays
Starting point is 00:21:27 for an extra two hours every night that equates to an extra an additional two weeks across a whole year or whatever of development and then but it was unrecorded time so then it appears to the publisher and the heads of the studio
Starting point is 00:21:39 oh we made this game in this time so then they have even bigger expectations for the next game but of course those people are already working an extra two hours every night because they like their jobs but it's impossible to keep that level of growth going because yeah but it's also like they'll be expecting more and more and without knowing that they can't yeah is it a case of people are being forced or like peer pressured I guess I guess it's like a work culture thing there's there's more than peer pressure than meets the eye they hire these contractors and And, like, your entire career is fucked if you refuse to crunch.
Starting point is 00:22:15 But at the same time, I don't understand how you could get a game, like, like, Red Dead 2, for example, without just committing your lives to it. Like, it's just ridiculous the amount of work that is required to create something like that. You could say, like, yeah, what if they'd been given an extra year to make it, but then there's a question of, but without the additional pressure, would they, would the people, like, would they have made that game? I don't know, I mean, the thing is films, but really, really good films get made. without necessarily crunch it's just like yeah look this is scheduled to happen this way or work to the schedule and it's like a creative wavelength too like if if i'm sure the energy on the set of like a tarrantino film is a bit different to like that monster hunter movie that's coming out you know what i mean like people are going to be more keen when it is a project
Starting point is 00:23:00 like you're red deads or you know just working with the tours or whatever the issue as well though is compensation where these these contracted people that don't even have like a permanent position in the development yeah that's a problem and they're not paid overtime they're they're paid their like contract it's like their salary yeah and even if they do end up working 90 hours in a week they get no extra but they won't have a job if they don't do it this yeah that's a huge issue across multiple industries is like the gig economy they are not protected in any way and you're just expected to say yes or else well you know have no
Starting point is 00:23:40 money, idiot, ha-ha-l. Yeah, it's the problem with the games industry at the moment, where they constantly need this growth, so, like, somebody has to get fucked. The corp expect it, but gamers expect these blockbuster games every year. They expect these red-deeds, these fucking
Starting point is 00:23:55 cyberpunks, they expect them, like, within a two-year span, and that is impossible. Gamers need to change. You can't change the execs unless you change ourselves, because they're not going to do shit at all, because they're going to do all. But, yeah, it's... You can't just blame gamers, though.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah, you can't put it all at the lap of the people. We can't, though, because the gamers are fucking awful. Yeah, I've got my problem with, like, gamers, like, a certain type of gamers, but, like, there's so many of them. It's not just a gamer problem, like, it's supply demand, and the demand is so high, they force in the supply. Like, cod, does cod, would cod have crunch? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Because it's just, yeah, I think every game does. If you have a deadline. Especially when they had, like, yeah, they had, like, one year to make a game. Oh, yeah. It's a problem in just lots of places, is this, you know, very precarious employment situations. Lots of people are faced with. Like, I'm trying to think. Yeah, earlier on this year, there was a strike among all the, a lot of lecturers and academics in a certain union in this country.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I don't remember which one. And I remember talking to people about that. And they were like, well, do you think they, you know, do they think they needed? Do you think they need more pay or whatever? You know, aren't lecturers paid a lot? And it's like, well, actually, lots of them are just these. They're just brought in, they're never, they're not given a full contract by a college. Just look, you're going to do this.
Starting point is 00:25:15 You're going to come in when we need you. That's it. So, yeah, I think they could do with it being better. It's like perception. Yeah, maybe that's what needs to change. It's players or gamers need to try and need to understand it better. It needs to be a fuller perception of the reality of where the product they consume is coming from. Which is tough when the way it's discussed is always just like over the top headline.
Starting point is 00:25:39 You know, Kotaku, just spewing some fucking dog shit. IGN being like, well, and then, you know, everyone moves on. Any other things you want to bring up that we've been doing before? We head off into the midsection. I'm okay. I see power when I see her midsection. I watch the Pongrelark, which is pretty good. Pongrelark.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Shout out to the Pongrelark. Someone in the comments suggested that one and it was worth checking out. Horm Krell. Don't ask him. It's a Dexter, jetster, like, Jedi. Yeah, he's got two double lightsabers. Yeah. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:26:29 He's voiced by the guy from the Walking Dead. Yeah, he's leaving the Walking Dead. Oh yeah. And it's just about clones. He's like a really weird. He's like a general and the clones are like getting these weird commands from him. And they're like testing their faith, you know, and their allegiance to the authority. Damn, dude.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Hong Crow. That's such a Star Wars name. Did you find it quite hard to find him cool because of... No, I can't really go into any detail without spoiling it, you know, because I'd recommend people check it out for themselves. Can you say if he is cool? He's a cool character, yeah. Is he cooler than Dexter No
Starting point is 00:27:11 Okay That's all I needed to know Oh there's five beans And there are five rice Five rice Yeah five beans Five rice What if they're
Starting point is 00:27:23 Let's say hypothetically If there were to be more rice Rises Then six beans Seven rice No that's just disgusting No what I'm gonna say Is Christ
Starting point is 00:27:34 Is it's uh Call of JZ Blackoffs for the X-Ox360 is actually one of the best first-person shooters. No, shit. I just, I actually did watch something important that needs to be mentioned. That being, um...
Starting point is 00:27:48 Cats and Dogs. I watched it. Oh, God. It's there on Netflix. Oh, okay. And it's needed something to kill, like, an hour. It's so short. And it's pretty fucked up.
Starting point is 00:28:01 It's a fucked up film. Do you remember the bit where there's like a telephone booth? Right at the start, the telephone booth. dog that's all tiny or something it comes out of the ground in a little glass and the little garbage bin thing
Starting point is 00:28:12 yeah yeah and that's the one and Alec Wilbin's in it Toby McGuire voices a beagle how do you guys how do you guys the dogs are good guys
Starting point is 00:28:21 and the cats the bad guys I think it's deeply sexist in the same way that it's always dogs are the men and cats are the women
Starting point is 00:28:30 no because cats attack you dogs don't if a dog attacks you you're a lot worse off trust me Like if a cat attacks you, it's just like, ow. Why do you do that? Not in James' case.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And you hurl it a million miles because it's a cat, and you can do that. No, but like cats are the one, the general perception is cats are more mischievous than doc. That's a fact. We all know that. So why that makes sense for that movie. Okay. Cats attack you when you give them food. Dogs also attack you when you give them food.
Starting point is 00:29:00 What are you talking about? What are people who like, go, go, go out of the cat toys, cats take me my surprise. You, wow, I feed them. I am a cat in they're going to complain oh I've got scratches constantly because my cat like attacks me Tim you get how often
Starting point is 00:29:15 is Billy's packed you I've received scratches like twice that's fucking bullshit maybe three times cats are tiny and it doesn't matter dogs can also be tiny I've been scratched as many times
Starting point is 00:29:31 by Argy as I have been for me yeah you know he's done more damage to me than Billy has. Argy That's possible an exposure thing as well
Starting point is 00:29:40 Of course Argy's gonna scratch you He's void wage If Argy was in the cats and dogs movies He'd be like
Starting point is 00:29:46 The Turncoat Dog who was actually Working with the cats Yeah Yeah would Paisby She would be
Starting point is 00:29:54 She would be Working for the cats But by accident She'd be the dog In the opening scene That gets like killed or something
Starting point is 00:29:59 Oh damn Oh damn Yeah that's dark That's just the truth But there is a bit of like a dodgy, like, early 2000s, like, kind of casual racism thing with the weird, like, ninja cats. Oh, they're Asian. Yeah, I was going to say that they're ninja cats.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Yeah, and they drop out of, like, the, like, kamikaze-type planes with the, like, accents, and they're, like, doing all the, all this shit. Oh, my God. I'm amazed. I really expected Netflix to have, like, edited that bit out, but they didn't. Do you know what we should do? But watch Revenge of Kitty Gore next. I've watched that.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah. I went to the cinema. on um i went to the cinema with our school friends just watched it on like a saturday because we just went through this phase of doing that just like it wasn't the what's in the cinema right now i don't know okay let's go we just watch it how was it and that was on once it was so fucking bad yeah because they got rid of to tby maguire no because his his arc is completed in that first movie gym it's perfectly wrapped up because it ends with uh alick bolbin saying

Someone did something and fixed it.
Starting point is 00:43:25 They changed the code. Yes. They hacked the formula. They missed a roboted it. Andrew Date is going to start us off. What are you Mingers watching this Christmas? Probably a Seth Rogen movie. Which one?

Starting point is 00:43:50 Yeah, yeah. You're understandable. I vote we watch Death Stranding cutscenes edited together on YouTube. How long is that there? Surely, that's like the Lord of the Rings trilogy?
Starting point is 00:44:01 Well, that's a couple of years. It might be longer. Yeah, are you going at? How fucking long is it? Well, it's, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is nine hours, right? Um, the extended to longer, but yeah, about nine hours,
Starting point is 00:44:16 the normal ones. Yeah, want to say the death stranding um all cut scenes is closer to like 14 hours and then we should watch metal get solid for like straight after and then maybe final fancy 13 all cutscenes edited together yeah i've got one here um all cutscenes and in-game dialogues is 12 hours oh jesus christ yeah i don't know i don't really watch things on christmas Yeah I might watch Home Alone or something
Starting point is 00:44:51 Like some point next week I don't know Yeah Night's so like Fuck I could As soon as Home Alone comes on I just want Christmas to be over
Starting point is 00:45:01 I can't stand those movies My what do you have against Home Alone I don't know There's something about them That just doesn't sit white of me Is it when he shaves And then he slaps his face And goes
Starting point is 00:45:10 Is it because he don't know The idea of a young Of a child alone At home No it's just like I don't know Those movies They're just depressing.
Starting point is 00:45:18 They just depress me. I can't explain it. I mean, the setup is actually surprisingly dark. Yes, I was thinking about that. They're going to have their whole Christmas ruined and their lives potentially, like, are we going to be really fucked up by it? But their little boy who's on his own prevents it. It's not really very nice, is it?
Starting point is 00:45:38 Yeah, and through his own hardiness that he's had to build up over the years from being ignored, manages to beat a couple of people who are trying to end his life, really. They're trying to kill him. Yeah, yeah, for a family that just don't really, you know, seem to care about him. Yeah, it's really fucked up when he put it that way, actually. Maybe that movie should be banned as well. I'm just going to watch Nightmare for Christmas again, even though I watched it a few weeks ago. I've forgotten how ridiculously good it is.
Starting point is 00:46:00 I can't believe how it is. I never watched it. Really? Never watched it. I think it's perfect. It's absolutely impeccable. Is it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:11 It is. Patrick Wigington says, I just want to apologize for Jamie for asking him if he was no longer riled up last time. Yeah, well, you know. He's a big dog, big bear. Masali Motor says, guys, please address Season 4 of Big Mouth. It cannot go on noticed. I actually finished it
Starting point is 00:46:29 today, this morning. Had life. Yeah, news flash. It's fucking awesome. I don't want to torture James and Rubin talking about it right now, but I think we need to record something over Discord about it, Jim, because it really bothered me.
Starting point is 00:46:45 It really fucking bothered me. but so look out for that go in the blue says thoughts on the comment section being filled with the same two jokes every week welcome to youtube comment sections yeah i mean yeah every single i don't know one i always think of is it's fantana's it's always like anthony look i appreciate that yeah this but you didn't have to call him a racial slow i don't know whatever it'll be yeah yeah that's seeped into the jar one even yeah yeah it's just that's just what happens it's just the same memes over and over that gradually some of them get too repetitive and just vanish and new ones crop up and it's just the one of the moment is just accusing me of saying things that i never said yeah it's like the same
Starting point is 00:47:27 one the room is just saying that someone fantano's yeah it's just you know it's just what the youtube comment section is i preferred it when it was all about this you know this snake you know there'll be snakes everywhere that was a good period in their youtube comment section oh the hissing one yeah that's a classic random minion x d has one for you james does james still pay for two phone contracts out of laziness I forgot do you actually still
Starting point is 00:47:54 no I I cancelled when did you saw that out it's like fucking like two years after it ended after it ended yeah the phone contract because obviously when you've got phone contract for the phone and like the SIM you pay the set amount to include them
Starting point is 00:48:09 both but when you paid off the phone it just goes to the SIM contract so I paid off the phone I just couldn't be asked to cancel the SIM part, so I just, I just had it. But remember, I only did that because I couldn't be bothered to transfer the banking apps to my new phone, so I used my old phone for my banking, and had to take it around and me everywhere. So I just never canceled it for that reason.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Your burner? Yeah, my burner. Yeah, my burner. But I have now. I'm, I'm a sensible adult, so I have it on one phone. It's a good idea. Big Boss Man 538 asks this. Here's the scenario. You're all trapped in the jungles of Skull Island from the 2005 king con movie what do you do well someone's got to be a sack guy yeah just give up like that that insect scene it from that movie is horrifying yeah there's no reason to even bother trying when you're on an island like that yeah especially because we wouldn't be in a movie we'd just be in real life they are yeah they're choosing to be there to an extent yeah i would just be you know if i was i'm staying on the boat you can go fuck yourself never never get off the boat okay that's
Starting point is 00:49:14 Not an option. In this reality, you were born there. Well, I'm probably the Apex Predator in that situation because I was born in it, molded by it. Yeah. No, I'd survive. Did he see Nolam as saying how he doesn't think Tom Hardy's performance hasn't been fully appreciated yet in the darner eyes? I thought you were going to say about his whole thing about streaming platforms. Oh, yeah, he said that to you. He just came up as a real cunt. He's just, he's all about that, isn't he? The true film shit, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:43 he's such a gatekeeper he's a typical film gatekeeper yeah it's just like fucking put your movies on streaming services and let us watch them the subtitles accept it yeah because it's the only way to make them like tangible is to have the subtitles on so you can read what the fuck is happening
Starting point is 00:49:59 well yeah that's the other thing I thought about watching that but then I was like I can't really relax and watch it on the TV because I'll be turning up and down the fucking volume all the time I have to watch it on my desk of headphones in because the sound will be fucking terrible yeah it's more the problem was you couldn't hear the dialogue because of that mixing thing he insists on doing.
Starting point is 00:50:17 But yeah, I want to watch it again with... Yeah, I don't know what the fuck he's going for with that. And it's become such like a repetitive issue with his movies that just everyone knows it now. Like who normally talks about like mixing, audio mixing and movies, you know? No one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:34 But now it's just like a wide known criticism of him. Hmm, fight me cunt one. Has one for us. Hi, lads. This is my first question slash suggestions, so I hope it isn't too detached or whatever, but hopefully it provides something to dissect. I'm pretty interested in history, and the recent question about the British monarchy inspired me to write this. This was from a question last episode, Rubin, that you missed. I mostly agree with the sentiments of the cast.
Starting point is 00:50:59 However, I feel that historically, monarchism has had its purpose. I remember someone in the cast raising concerns about incompetent or immoral people becoming monarchs. And while that did happen, I still think it's important to note that royalty and nobility received a good education and provided the common people with protection against injustice such as banditry or other crimes by providing a court system particularly skilled monarchs would often be able to protect the realm from populism providing a source of authority at a time when the world was a much more chaotic and dangerous place this is not to dismiss criticism of monochism or to voice support i would say that this is mostly food for thought i do however have a question from this what are your thoughts on western models of democracy Democracy and republicanism, not to be confused with the American Party. I feel as though the cast has voiced concerns occasionally with some of the issues democracy faces, and I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts and a bit more depth. Apologies for the long-winded question, and if it's too political, rock on mingers.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Do you want to start with Rubin and your thoughts on the monarchy? Because we talked about it a little bit last episode. My thoughts on the monarchy, okay, I guess I'll answer in regards to my thoughts on the monarchy now. yeah um obviously they don't do a great deal really there's no there's no true there's no true like governmental power in the monarchy i mean you could speculate based on certain members of the royal family's activities that they've got their fingers in a lot of pies you know i have to wonder like maybe the raw family secretly a trading in intelligence or something that's what they do um i kind of like that they're definitely shady there is something very shady about them now but they're
Starting point is 00:52:41 also for Britain, at least, because the British royal family seems to be when people talk about the royal family, they're talking about the British royal family, typically, or the English royal family. I'm not sure, I can't, yeah, I'm not really sure how far it extends whether they have, there are Scottish ones and Welsh ones. I don't, yeah, there are on there actually because, whatever, anyway, the royal family, you know, no one's thinking about, I'm just trying to think of another one, does Spain have one? Are they the kingdom of Spain? Are there loads of countries in Europe, which are actually officially called the kingdom of, you know, country. But in this country, I don't know, they didn't do anything. I'm not hugely bothered by them.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I'm more bothered by people's responses to them and all this pretence around them. The newspapers, I mean, I sort of hate the way, I guess, tabloids latch onto anything, really. It just kind of disgusts me. And one of the things that disgusts me a lot is the way the raw family are treated and discussed in this. I don't know. I mean, either they're being crapped on or there's this reverence, like, oh, the queen. And it just makes my fucking stomach charles.
Starting point is 00:53:47 It's one of those last bastions of like, this is what being British is. It's liking the queen and being a racist or something, you know? No, it's being a pedophile. It's what the whole family. Yeah, actually last episode I said Prince Harrog instead of Prince Andrew. So it's Andrew that was the one in trouble with Epstein.
Starting point is 00:54:02 How he's not nonce. Yeah. He's starting a podcast. Maybe we can have him on. him and Megan Markler doing a podcast um I'm really curious to actually listen to it as well yeah I don't know how much you want to go into the other part of the question thoughts on Western models of democracy they seem to work better than like there are no real alternatives that work any better
Starting point is 00:54:25 yeah it's definitely preferred what's that bro USSR that worked is this tanky shit like a meme or yes yeah I don't believe in like communism Alex you know that Fuck, okay Bebo Bay... To Reuben's thing Reuben did say
Starting point is 00:54:43 There's like Seven monarchies in Europe Literally all of North Europe So like Denmark Yeah Norway Spain and then
Starting point is 00:54:50 Netherlands and the UK Netherlands Oh you course they Actually think I knew that Yeah they did Yeah It was a good Comment
Starting point is 00:54:58 To be left actually To bring up The kind of Historical relevance And why they were Important at a certain time But it's like We don't really
Starting point is 00:55:06 need that anymore Or do we kind of advance a little bit beyond that? I just don't think there needs to be such a reverence granted to it in this country because what there is for some reason. Yeah, yeah. A huge degree of it. Whereas in other countries, they sort of relaxed about the whole thing. They don't really give a shit and their raw families are just sort of...
Starting point is 00:55:24 Like the king of Sweden was just like, yeah, the government handled COVID-19 really badly. And I'm very disappointed. He just was saying, yeah, they're fucking idiots. You would never get that from the queen, really. No. I mean, and if she ever did say anything even slightly like, it would be, I don't know, very subtle. Mm-hmm. Or because she has dementia. Or because she has dementia, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Fuck. It would be sick if she did, though. What? I had dementia. I could say, no, no, no, no. James. No. No.
Starting point is 00:55:58 If she just came out of that the English government handled it poorly, I'd just be like, yeah. Oh, yeah. It would be quite sick. Is anyone out there fighting and saying the opposite? it? Man, the UK has really got this handle. I know people who were putting things on Facebook sort of like poor Boris and things of that sentiment.
Starting point is 00:56:14 No, I've got no sympathy for that boy. No, he's rubbish. The worst fucking government possible for this. I watched a pretty interesting, and I don't normally watch John Oliver, but I watched like a YouTube episode that he did on Boris, where he was kind of dismantling his
Starting point is 00:56:30 kind of aloof appearance as this kind of strategy to come across as more relatable to people even though it's like and he can like bumble his way out of any difficult conversation like he was caught saying some like racist shit or whatever and when the press came to his house to you know try and get a statement well no his strategy was he just made like 10 cups of tea took them out on a tray and just kept saying oh I feel very sorry for all of you being out here all day long you must be very tired drink a cup of tea and they kept asking him questions and he just
Starting point is 00:57:01 kept saying take a cup of tea take a cup of tea and then they like thanked him for a cup of tea and so he just one. It's incredible. Yeah. No, that's used by Boris boys to like prove these good. Yeah, because the example he pulls out.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Yeah. Because there's like an old picture of, um, the Bullingdon Club like assholes with like James Cameron, um, sorry, David Cameron. James Cameron is, yeah, yeah, David Cameron and Boris are in the same picture.
Starting point is 00:57:31 But whereas that very images was used to, you know, it's a bad thing for David. Boris has managed to swing the public image in such a way, where he's just this lovable buffoon to so many people. It's a shame he can't be as effective in, you know, in convincing everyone that he's shit and then actually being secretly good because all he's doing is convincing everyone,
Starting point is 00:57:52 I know, I'm stupid and it's like, well. I'm stupid and he can't trust anything I say at any point in time. I never know what's going on around me. I'm over so silly. Well, yes. You're not doing anything. to prove the fucking contrary. And there was an insane example where in this interview he starts talking about like
Starting point is 00:58:11 what his favorite pastime is and he describes, yes, I collect crates and then I paint them to look like buses and everyone looking very jolly on the buses. And there's like a theory that he did that because around the time of like Brexit there was this really like dodgy campaign bus that he had on that just had like a plaster of lies all over it. So in the Google results now, when you Google Boris Johnson Bus, it's his silly interview talking about painting crates instead of like the actual political behavior. Oh my God, that's dark. Yeah, and there's no way to prove it or disprove it because just the way he is, you know, it's pretty hardcore. Yeah, I'd recommend watching that. It's just on YouTube. It's just John Oliver's
Starting point is 00:58:55 Boris video. Bebo Baby asks, will you boys be getting the vaccine? Why and why not? Also do you think it would change anything now that they found a new type of COVID in the UK. We address this a little bit, but I think we're all a bit young to be even remotely near the list of people to get it, you know, we might get it towards the end of the year, maybe. I won't be getting the vaccine because I don't mean the country is like prioritising me. I would, I wouldn't get it for a while because I know that there are other people who I'd be taking their place. And I'm just like, I don't need this. Maybe if any of us has some underlying health condition that would put us at risk, but
Starting point is 00:59:38 I don't think anyone else do. If I was advised by a doctor or something, like, you know, you really should actually because you have super duper, um, funny condition. Yeah. Maybe. It's just, you know, everyone is going to want one and they're way more vulnerable people than us on this cast. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Ah, you all like this, James. Made you look, 1999 says, hello, my mingers. I've been catching up with the podcast starting from the very beginning while I'm at work. My record is eight episodes in one day, by the way. And I just got to the Milker versus Cabrida debate episode. I've never been much of a chocolate fan, but I've never tried Milka before. So I decided to give it a shot. And by golly, James is right.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Milker is top-tier chocolate. I bought six bar of it and demolished it in a few days. I don't have a question. Just thought you'd like to know that I'm blaming you for any milker weight again. I actually just wanted to comment on this chocolate thing something that we're very fond of here in our chocolate it's just a lot of sort of like fat and well no it's fat and sugar in place of cocoa mass
Starting point is 01:00:41 obviously chocolate has to have fat sugar in it but yeah cocoa solids just don't seem to be the priority and that's something that I've noticed about the taste of it yeah as I've had more European chocolate now so probably since whenever we would have last had the great chalky debate Do you rate milker above Cadbury then? Milker isn't the one I've had a great deal of.
Starting point is 01:01:02 It's so I don't know. It's not really one that I'm drawn to. Like if I was going to buy a bar of chocolate, if I walked into Tesco right now, and I was to buy a bar of chocolate, I probably, if I was going to buy any, would end up buying dairy milk or Cadbury. Yeah, that's my point with it
Starting point is 01:01:17 where it's just like the old reliable, you know? Yeah, I guess milker I'm not crazy for either. But then, I don't know. I just don't really, I don't really care for chocolate hugely thinking about it. How does it make you feel, Jim? To be betrayed like this. What's this person's name?
Starting point is 01:01:32 Made you look, 1999. Made you look, wow. Yeah, that's not suspicious at all. I think James created this account and wrote this. Can you disprove that, James? Milk of O'Ollio and is objectively better. Exactly. James is attempting a spin campaign. This is some Boris Johnson-level shit right here from James.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I don't, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm saying, maybe by Galaxy. I think Galaxy's pretty tasty. I'll come around to that. No, no, no, no. Can we all agree that dairy milk is better than Galaxy, please? Yes. Hang on, let me just, I've got a little celebrations tub.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Celebrations are good. Yeah, celebrations are awesome. I think I like Galaxy one. I'm also, I've also got the option of, like, Milky Way as well, because I like Milky Way is a I don't think the Galaxy caramel is that good. No, I don't think so either. Have you tried the dark, because obviously there's a, like, dairy milk had like the dark. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I like that. Jeremy good. So then Galaxy did the same thing and it's shit. It's terrible. Dark Galaxy is not worth. It's possibly the worst chocolate I've ever eaten. No, Hershey's is the absolute one. No, Hershey is the absolute lowest chocolate.
Starting point is 01:02:49 If you get the Hershey's bar that's like in the three for one pound, bit that's got like like Oreo in it that's quite good yes it's better than milker no there don't don't even sit there like eat a massive bar
Starting point is 01:03:02 no eat a massive bar of a cabri in one sitting because no that's a part of a point that's a different measurement though if you eat the same if you eat the same amount of of milker in the same sitting
Starting point is 01:03:17 you would enjoy the milk more can I'm so gross can I put forward a bit of a fresh argument. A freshy argument. Yeah, a freshy argument. James, yes. Could you tell me
Starting point is 01:03:34 when you order, say, a Big Mac? Yes. For fuck sake, I know where you're going with this. No, when you order a Big Mac, how do you adjust the Big Mac to your liking? I take out the flavour. Be most specific.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Sorry, okay, so burger sauce tastes terrible. So I remove the burger sauce, then I remove the cheese, and then I remove the, what else is in a big pack? Onions? Onion, lettuce. I'll remove the onion. So it's basically burger, bun, lettuce, mayonnaise. Boom.
Starting point is 01:04:14 That's a big mat. That's grim. And in your own words, you remove the flavor. So what you're chasing when you're looking to fill your, tummy. No, because is a lack of flavor, is a lack of any sort of depth. Would you like some tea?
Starting point is 01:04:32 Order, order. I'm removing the salt. Salt is bad. We've gone over this. Anything that's somewhat salty. How is it? How is salty? Salt. Don't like it. Onions like sharp. Yeah, onion is like the opposite flavor to
Starting point is 01:04:47 It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because it doesn't matter because Big Mac Max are the worst thing in MacGarkey. Okay, jerk chicken. Okay, which I move? I only removed the cheese and you know that the jerk cheese. Cheese and a jerk chicken? Yeah. It's like a special
Starting point is 01:05:03 chicken wrong as it is. Special burger. It just doesn't seem right to have cheese in it regardless. It's jerk cheese. What does that mean? Jerk cheese. It's like just such an asshole. But I just removed the cheese because I'm not a cheese person. I've gone over this. I still have the jerk. It's not like I take out the flavor.
Starting point is 01:05:21 That was genuinely funny, Alex. Thanks, bro. Yeah, dude. I actually shits my pants. Ruben shit his pants. Shit it. I shit it. I like Toffafi. How do you feel about Toffafi? How do you feel about Toffafi? Am I right?
Starting point is 01:05:38 Oh, Zing, wing, zing, wing, zing. That's pretty good. I like cofefefei. I was actually reading about that because I'd forgotten what the context was. of that. It was Corvette, wasn't it? He was meant to, he was trying to say What was it?
Starting point is 01:05:55 It was something stupid. No, it was, um... It surely is supposed to be coffee. No, it was just despite the constant negative press. Coffee. And then he deleted it six hours later and said it was intentional. Why did you tweet that, James?
Starting point is 01:06:15 Yeah. I don't know. So what, it does actually mean coffee? because I now call coffee cofefefe. No, yeah, it's nothing to do a coffee. Well, it now is. It's not my thing. You've adapted it.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Fuck Trump, it's my thing. Let's do two more then. This penultimate one is for Jim and Rubin from Wazian Boy 42. Is it about Dark Souls 2? No, but it is about... All right. Good. I was going to shout out my answer.
Starting point is 01:06:40 It is about another series you like, there. What are Jim and Rubin's thoughts on the casting of Oscar Isaac, a solid snake in the upcoming Metal Ghosts? Gear Solid movie, and I'm going to add how do you just generally feel about this project? No, can I just wait one second. They're making... They're making a Monster Hunter movie based
Starting point is 01:06:59 off the Monster Mission in Metal Gear Solid. Are you sure this isn't a Metal Gear Solid? What are you? I watched the trailer for that earlier. It's fucking bizarre. It's like... Based off the... Because there was a Monster Mission. No, I know, but in Peace Walker, but what do you
Starting point is 01:07:15 mean the movie is based off that? Well, because it's not like a Monster Hunter movie, is no it's a it's a it's a it's a metal case solid monster hunter movie what do you know what he means it's like it's like a bunch of military people and shit in the desert yeah because like a portal opens in a real squad like a real military that's not that's not monster hunter at all like that's the thing yeah that's just like a really sad focus testy way of getting monster hunter into the into cinemas it kind of seems like um that that mission in
Starting point is 01:07:46 peacewalker that will get a peacewalker i mean but the the main kind of character is Resident Evil. Yeah, so there's going to be a three-way crossover. Oh, okay, maybe I can... How can that be, because then they'd have to play... She'd have to play two characters. No, it's the same person. That's the reveal. Anyway, Oscar Isaac, yeah, he's a good actor, and he definitely looks the part, in my opinion. I don't know what he's going to do voice-wise.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Honestly, I'm kind of excited for this film. What's convinced you? Like, nothing. I just think if someone can be truly faithful to Metal Gear and make, like, a stupid, just live action anime movie it could be fun as fuck yeah i think that's what it needs to be stylish as fuck i don't know how it has to be directed like asian cinema where it is like stupid frenetic and everything but i didn't realize that's the thing because the director is the same guy to kong skull island but he is like a huge metal gear fan and he's in death stranding isn't he the thing is
Starting point is 01:08:42 they had like 3d models made of these directors and shit but they're voiced by different people But is that not just a sign of good faith inherently, including him? Yeah, no, I was going to say, yeah, that does prove some sort of, like, relationship between him and Kojima. And I think Kojima should be, like, taught to when it comes to this film. Yeah, I just Googled it. He is in Death Stranding, so. I think it's going to be a real challenge to adapt that into a movie. It's going to be really fucking hard.
Starting point is 01:09:11 All it has to be is self-aware, and then... Rick and Morty can show up. Look, Morty, it's fucking metal. They can do a Rick and Morty, like Death Stranding advert or something. It's not going to be good. Fuck you. Next question. Let's end on this one, and I do have to preface, it is genuinely a serious one.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Oh, shit. But I don't know. I don't know. It's a good one to end on, I think, for that sake. But I also felt like reading through it, it would be worth bringing up. Anyway. Jars side of the moon says this. Hey, Mingers, serious one here.
Starting point is 01:09:45 So I have a friend that's called him, Yon. Scringin, who I've been friends with for about seven or eight years. He's watched JAR since the old channel and I think has watched every episode. He introduced me to JAR around episode 101 and is almost a religious watcher of the show. Whenever we see each other in school, we're in year 11, we say, all right, Doug, based off the nostalgia critic and we live and breathe JAR media references. Recently he's been going through a pretty tough time. He doesn't know why he's so upset, though I do have my own suspicions.
Starting point is 01:10:13 He's been cutting himself for a few months now, and it's really quite upsetting to see the scars all up and down his arm. He often jokes about suicide and the thought that one day I could wake up to a phone call saying that he took his own life is a feeling that there are no words for. I know there's nothing I could say to help yawn, but I know that if he does kill himself, I'll feel not only overwhelming sadness but guilt as well. Any advice for me and him would mean so much, because although you're just a bunch of mingas who make fart jokes and tell us about your shart stories and the times you fuck bananas, you do provide some handy advice every now and then game on yeah so it's pretty fucking heavy obviously but i don't know if he's like been
Starting point is 01:10:51 listening and might mean something to hear someone's perspective on their thoughts like i think the key with any mental health stuff is like see a professional yeah i mean really it can always get you know you don't want it to get worse it can easily spiral if you let it you know yeah if it's unchecked then it is not it does normally go in like a downward direction it is I do feel really bad for especially other people around that age like this year. Like it is just really fucked for anything like social and school and everything and having to work and learn from home. It's just it's really fucked and thrown a lot of things off place and you're already so like hormonal and it's a bit much to deal with for, you know, for everyone, let alone the younger people. So Jim's right though it is about talking to people and getting help professionals.
Starting point is 01:11:44 help if you can, you know, communicating your thoughts to someone and trying to not bottle it up inside. Yeah, obviously, if you can't get professional help, then you should probably talk to people, not even necessarily about it, just to make sure you are talking to people. Yeah. James, do you have any thoughts? Well, it's, it's very difficult to give advice like this when you don't know the exact situation the person's into. Yeah. Do you understand? Like, I've been, through it, I knew what would work for me, but I don't know other people what's going on with them. But it's like you need to set your small goals. It's like, I know self-harm, it's horribly destructive, but it's just like if you work on trying to slowly get off that, then that's like a
Starting point is 01:12:32 stepping stone to getting better. It's just one thing, one small thing you can focus your mind on that can just put you in a better position to help long term. But it's just about taking things slow, doing what you can and talking to people close to you and trying to get yourself into a better position. It does take like your own mental strength. I know it's difficult to say that you need to like work on your own mental strength to help overcome it. So you need to change the way you perceive things and the way you react to things. But just by doing things slowly step at a time it can get better but you just have to talk about it. Yeah. And it is one of those things where it's like easier said than done you know yeah that's that's the main thing because it is hardly difficult to like
Starting point is 01:13:19 overcome it just takes time and you've got to understand that process you've got to know that it's going to be long term if you you when you want to overcome it you have to take things very so and you've just got to stay committed and to get yourself back up when you do go lower to then you know improve gradually it just takes times you have to like get ready for that yeah it's a lot know that sounds quite that sounds negative but that's just the realistic bit of it it just takes time but once if you want to get better then that will help you get better by just having these small steps that you can build up to yeah so my heart goes out to to him so and good luck you can do and that's it guys that's episode 21 of and i guess you can expect a few more since the lockdown is
Starting point is 01:14:04 infinite yeah in its breadth you know by the time like a halo infinite comes out probably still will be locked down fuck if it ever does fucking come out any last words any last thoughts anyone uh next episode is a halo infinite uh episode it's a halo follower episode yeah we're gonna have halo follower on and we're gonna do our predictions oh next episode is like i guess it coincides of christmas whatever it's the closest one yeah right well actually i think they're both equally distant yeah yeah i think you're right um pretty much yeah well actually Tuesday wednesday thursday verse Saturday, Sunday, and then we'll...
Starting point is 01:14:40 Okay, no. I guess, no, yeah, the next one will be the closest to Christmas. It will be after. So, I don't know. Will we come out with something? Maybe we'll come up with something. If we're going to stream,
Starting point is 01:14:52 we're going to do a special Christmas video of us watching Fast and Fewer's Tokyo Drift. What's 9 plus 10? 19. Thanks for listening. Okay, then. I'm playing Titan full. Goodbye. Don't be a child.
Starting point is 01:15:07 I can't believe he just did. I can't believe he's gone at least we can talk shit about him like we usually do wow I don't know.
