Starting point is 00:00:00 Good afternoon, morning, evening on night, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to episode 213 of the Jarcast. I'm your host, Alex, joined as always by the Golden Freddy himself. Yeah, it's me. And the bro with the Mo, Jim. The Mo Hawk. No, I was shortening the word most. The bro with the mo. The brost with the most.
Starting point is 00:00:32 I didn't even plan that one. That one just came to me. How do you feel about that? On this year episode of the JARCast. It's good. It's good. I can't complain. Hi guys.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Before we go too deep into the episode, I'd like to shout out the Patreon and our supporters over there. Of course, the influx in dibby tier patrons is a thing we're very happy with. Yeah, big shout out to them. We'll be reading and shouting them out during the halfway point of the cast. And the people on Mort here as well.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Yeah, yeah. Last episode, because I'm still new to all this Patreon, reading off stuff, out of the four tiers, I only had the Dibby one ticked and forgot to tick Mort, which is the one above it. So there was a mort or two that was left out last week. That big shout out to the Morts of the page on you are. Are we legally allowed to use that? We're not profiteering off of like the imagery or...
Starting point is 00:01:38 Does Madagascar own the name Mort? That's the question. I guess we'll find out in the coming months. They're going to sue us for like millions. Yeah. Bring it on, is what I say. Don't. No.
Starting point is 00:01:53 We're forgetting, of course, that Mort means death. Mortality. You know they're like Spanish? So yeah, of course it's not copyrighted by DreamWorks. Copyrighted? Copywritten. Thank you. Unless DreamWorks is literally copyrighted the idea of death,
Starting point is 00:02:12 which might be possible after the boss baby. You're right, yeah. Sorry, Mort. I'm okay with it. Okay with what? Deaf. Let's do some housekeeping then. Of course, last episode I revealed the spectacular Ruby Doo.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Um, this exciting new image I discovered and the feedback's been kind of mixed on it, I have to say. Um, Tom Health 66 says, sorry, Heath says, kind of sick, but it ain't no sandy. And I, I'm in full agreement with that. It ain't no sandy. Mammoth Led 5 says has the same vibe as Sandy, but none of the soul. And that, and that, honestly, that is what appeals to me about the image, the fact that it has those soulless fucking eyes. Yeah, if you sort of. of take into account the the time period that ruby do was like discovered in and sort of um vibed with us in um a time of a lot of despair a lot of uncertainty i think ruby do um exemplifies the times we find ourselves caught up in at the moment yeah whereas sandy is more of The go-getter, yeah. The golden sort of go-getter-rade. Chung-Skingi says it has no soul, but that makes all the better,
Starting point is 00:03:37 and I think I agree with them. Leave him alone even says hot take is better than Sandy. No, no, that's not, no. I mean, disagreement with that hot take. No, I disagree as well, but it's not because Ruby Do is objectively worse. It's because Ruby do... It represents something a lot bleaker than...
Starting point is 00:03:58 what Sandy does if that makes sense to... Yeah, that doesn't make complete sense. As the Jarling's last episode who turned in might remember, we said for this episode we were going to do an extra dark lighting just so we've done every
Starting point is 00:04:14 like option. Yeah, so after this one just say in the comments which one you think looks the best. Say this one. I think this one's too dark personally. That's just how I feel right now. It's quite dark, but it's really asphetic and it suits
Starting point is 00:04:30 you know how we're recording right now and the you know it's night as fuck at the moment I think the one the previous episodes one was was about right for my own taste I'm in agreement with that but we're always up for you know feedback and we want to know
Starting point is 00:04:47 what is the best for the viewers and I want to know your guys opinions on this because daboos says merge the Reddit and Twitter questions part how do you feel about that because I don't know about that yeah I feel like the
Starting point is 00:05:02 because we don't always do the Twitter questions and when we do it just tends to be like four or five really quick yeah yeah I would say not merge them but do them what would be merging them wouldn't it well maybe what we could do is do the Twitter
Starting point is 00:05:18 questions at the end of the first segment yeah yeah okay if that may I mean as long as we have stuff to talk about in the first segment right okay okay just thought I'd throw that out there and also the Madagascar video
Starting point is 00:05:34 people seem to be enjoying we've got two actually actually as good as they say videos out the Halo one we just put out for those that are interested in that don't need to spend like any time really talking about that on this episode then as a result
Starting point is 00:05:49 I wasn't there but I've seen the trailer and it's yeah just I think I'm in agreement with you guys and what your kind of thoughts on that Yeah, I suppose we should... That's one thing that happened in the last week, I suppose, was this gaming Xbox stream. They're basically the Airy-3 kind of equivalent. We've already got that Halo video out, but James, do you have any thoughts just quickly? There's good premise they, depending on what they're wanting it at, you know, on the next generation, it could be quite a pretty game, it could be, it looks, it looks, it looks, the gameplay looks good.
Starting point is 00:06:27 The guns, they look so generic. It needs just some more Halo spice. It needs a razzle-dazzle to, you know, bring it back to the halo we like. But this looks like they could, this is a good start again for Halo. If they do it white, they could, you know, bring it back to some of its former glory.
Starting point is 00:06:43 So let's just wait and see what happens. Yeah, what about fable? Anyone care about that? Playground games making fable, so the guys who make Fours of Horizon are making a fable game now, which is weird. but um yeah i mentioned uh it's how many times are they going to like try and reboot fable because it's like that that i've never played one so it's that it's that microsoft exclusive
Starting point is 00:07:06 they don't want to let die for like really strange reasons because it's always been it adds a pillar that like makes them seem a bit more diverse you know comedic fantasy setting is a bit yeah something different i played um fable two and three and fable one i i enjoyed quite a bit because back then it was like this really arcade RPG and it was It was really fun at like a really basic level. And silly sense of humor and all that. And then they added Fable 3, which was just like, Christ. I left that game on at night to grind currency.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Like, it was not good. But, you know, if it looks nice and it's quite fun to play, then it could be a fun game. Forza Motorsport. They drop the numbers, so I guess now it's going to be a platform or something. I don't know. I could be wrong on that. So what is this forza?
Starting point is 00:07:54 I'm saying, I don't know I just watched the trailer Look pretty It's probably going to be It's weird with FOSA Because the Horizon games are way more popular Than the mainstream Like motorsport Fourses
Starting point is 00:08:07 But The Motorsport Fourses are greatly overshadowed By just Granitasma being a better game Is it though? I thought Fourses way more Like relevant In terms of the car Game war
Starting point is 00:08:21 But The main thing about racing games is it's like competitive online stuff and Gran Turismo does that so much better so for an entry level it's like you play Falls Horizon but if you want actual racing stuff you play Grand Tourismo but yeah I wouldn't know I've kind of having put like hundreds of hours into
Starting point is 00:08:41 fours I've just kind of dropped it I can't keep up of it anymore one of the more interesting reveals was that what are they called the guys you made fucking outer worlds or whatever Obsidian Obsidian They've got a new first person RPG
Starting point is 00:09:01 Isn't it? They showed two things off But the more important one was called avowed Which is basically just them making Skyrim Now they've made their own fallout game Now they can make a Skyrim game The world of that is an already established thing In Pillars of Eternity
Starting point is 00:09:17 Which is a one of their IPs It's actually quite loved It's quite popular, I believe So they've already got a world for it And this cool, I didn't know that Yeah So they've got It's like a, like a, what's that game you played?
Starting point is 00:09:31 Divinity, it's like that kind of Oh right Style of Pillars of Eternity Yeah I'd be interested to play it Because I like Obsidian But some of the major players From old Obsidian aren't there
Starting point is 00:09:44 So it's like it could go everywhere And the final two things of note It was just that Destiny 2 It's coming to Game Pass and there's like a Warhammer game that kind of looks like Left for Dead 2 which looks kind of interesting Wasn't I'm Vermon Tide already
Starting point is 00:10:01 It was Warhammer Dark Tide this new one Yeah that seems like a sequel to it Right okay Because Vermetite It's meant to be really good, yeah It's like just wats It's just about Leffodette isn't it Yeah I mean which I just don't know anything about Warhammer
Starting point is 00:10:16 Is really so Yeah I don't either You don't don't say Billy that fuck Billy hates rats She'll lose it that game Yeah true Yeah it wasn't like the The most exciting
Starting point is 00:10:28 Showcase Like I was on my phone most of the time Yeah As soon as I saw that Sprint was in Halo I just was kind of like Whatever Is that the first thing they showed Because I missed it
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah it was straight into Halo And yeah Right Do you Yeah I thought the PlayStation one was better From the announcement So probably Do you think
Starting point is 00:10:46 I know this is an old question Of you know Consil Wars do you think Sony is in a better place on Microsoft because you've got to consider Microsoft they've branched off now they're they're completely different business models like then they're basically doing completely different things
Starting point is 00:11:04 pure subscription with multi-platform and then just you know old-fashioned basically yeah it makes it it doesn't make it like seem like you need to get a new Xbox though no as as a but I think because of game pass like that that seems
Starting point is 00:11:21 it's out of all these subscription things like there's um Google stadia and shit I think Microsoft is way ahead of the curve yeah
Starting point is 00:11:30 yeah because every single game they showed at that showcase is it's like yeah you can't even really complain yeah I think in terms of like people comparing
Starting point is 00:11:41 Microsoft and Sony Microsoft they don't need to sell as many um consoles if they have have money constantly coming in from people every month. I mean, they've already got me, like, before this.
Starting point is 00:11:58 So they've basically just stayed winning. I, as someone who's, you know, back in the day, I've always, I've kind of been an Xbox person. And it's going to PC where it's like, I don't need an Xbox. Because all of the games I can just play on my kind of shit PC, but I've always got access to them. So now I'm just like, I'm just going to buy PlayStation for when I want to do the other games.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah, actually, my takeaway from the showcase is I might not buy either now. Yeah. I don't think either are actually that appealing to me. Hasn't Microsoft, Sony also done the PC streaming thing as well, if they're like PlayStation now on PC? So you can also play PlayStation games on PC. Don't you have to stream it, though, right? It's streaming, and you have to have a PlayStation control, which is a bit strange. But you can kind of do both now on PC.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Oh, that's lame. You see, if I could play a bunch of the Sony exclusives on an Xbox controller It would automatically make them better games On PC Yeah But it's nice to say that now it doesn't matter as much Right, no matter what you get
Starting point is 00:13:05 You can enjoy everything almost Because if you get a PC you can kind of enjoy I look on Twitter and look at some of the replies To some of the fanboy gamer shit that's going on I'm like man Can't really people are still doing this with him They're, like, making these gifts of, like, the CEOs of each company, like, fighting each other and shit. And it's like, nothing changes.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Like, every... This is the exact same thing. Every generation. I'm kind of viewing this, because I'm kind of... I'm still... I'm really surface level with gaming, because it's not, like, my... You know, I like cars. That's, like, my main thing.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And as a surface level, kind of just gamer, it's the best at the moment, because I just get everything. it's like so easy especially if like Microsoft I pay 10 pound a month or so I can get every game I can put one it's just so easy now it's like gaming's never been in a better place
Starting point is 00:13:56 to be honest I know that could be a controversial take with like Luke like some of the drama going on honestly I think with the whole battle purse thing as well that's probably my favourite monetary system
Starting point is 00:14:11 out of all of the trends it's definitely the preferable one No, no, it really has because it's just like, it's actually kept me playing games I like more because it's just like, oh, I can do this and it and I can do that. It's better than a season pass. It's better than, like, loot boxes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And, no, but the thing I've got always give is if you put in a little bit of money, you can get, like, constant content because it's giving you money. Like, yeah, they're built around normally, like, you pay it once, and then as long as you're playing the whole season each time, then you've just, you know. Like, Cod, we've talked to death by it, but I put £10 in,
Starting point is 00:14:49 I've got four seasons from that £10, because I like it. Yeah, like I bought gold once in Red Dead Online, and that gave me the... Yeah, the idea being, though, that if you're playing constantly throughout all these seasons, because you're addicted, then you're more likely going to buy cosmetic shit, which you have. Yeah, yeah. I've done that, but... Roughly how much money have you been to cold, do you think? Estimate. Um, I bought, no, I bought, I bought the first season.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Then, uh, at the third season I bought, I spent that free money on a pack. So then I had to put another 10 pound in. So really, I've put about 25 extra pound in. But I got the game at half price anyway. So I've paid full price for the game. And I've put 16 days into the game. And as, you know, I've got other things going on my life. I'm okay with that because I don't have time to jump between games.
Starting point is 00:15:42 So for me, that's, I've paid. a full game but I've got almost a month of content out of it so like in that way when you're like really surface level with games and you're not super into them it's like so it's such a good like way to play games because you're constantly getting
Starting point is 00:15:58 content because of updates and everything it's just so easy now to be like a surface kind of level kind of gamer it's never been better yeah um the thing is none of these services has ever really suited the way I like to play stuff
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah, same. It's like, that's like the contrast in us as the way we play games. Yeah, because you tend to get hooked on like one thing, whereas I'm constantly searching for something fresh. And you much prefer story games and like a single player experience. I like both, but I mean, I just find I get to a point and I'm like, okay, there isn't really anything this can offer me. So I want to experience something different. Well, I'm just gameplay loop. I like that constant.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah. Kind of grind to it. And if I don't get that, I can't play the game. Literally. Okay. Let's round off this first half then by heading over to Twitter. Speedman asks, I've noticed that Alex has been playing Sekiro. Thoughts.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Yes, awesome. Because I started playing it on Xbox like a while ago, but gave up because it just doesn't feel nearly as good as it does on PC. So in the latest steam cell, I picked it up. been playing it um how far would you say i am jim roughly percentage wise uh you're definitely over halfway uh it's hard to say because it's the sort of thing where you just take it at your own pace yeah you could easily play the game the same amount um as you've already played it before you finish it you know yeah i've played it a lot having constantly being one like you guys talking about and seeing on PC. You know, I instantly
Starting point is 00:17:44 love the setting, much like Ghost of Shushima as well. But it's just like, having played Dark Souls and not like, I think it's the one I'd actually get into quite a bit. So I'm like kind of wanting to give it a little bit. It's really accessible. Yeah. And the gameplay
Starting point is 00:18:00 loops really like obvious and clear and you can like stealth or it's their most refined game for sure. Having, seeing it from like an outside view, I really like the fact that there's not like, oh you should, if you, there's like 10 different play styles. It's just like you've got perfect the one that the game set.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yeah, that's the thing with a lot of games for me where like you can do a million things all right, but they're never going to be as good as when a game like has a way for you to play. Like take Far Cry, for example, like it never feels as good as like a Halo game, how tight that game is designed in terms of being like a, a bombastic shooter but then it's never as good as splinter soul for stealth
Starting point is 00:18:50 it's in that awkward in between because it's doing both things but neither of them are perfect Sekro is just like a one Dark Souls play style refined Yeah definitely recommend And it's like the whole thing of a refined experience
Starting point is 00:19:05 Is better than an imbalanced one Yeah I mean Depends what you want At Fluton says Alex mentioned rewatching community in a few earlier corncast and I also watched it and thought the first three seasons are great and the rest ranged from pretty good to really bad. What do you think of the show? I'm currently on the beginning of season five and season four definitely is weaker and it's notably like more funny as soon as it gets to season five again and the Dan Harmon's back. But yeah, it actually starts getting bad. I'd actually say before season four.
Starting point is 00:19:42 a little bit. I've watched like a season and a half now. And to me, season two is already worse than season one. I must be like... I think season two is really good. I think season two might be my favourite season. I don't know what it is, but I mean...
Starting point is 00:20:00 No, it definitely has a weaker beginning, but by the end. Right. I'm like halfway through it, I think. Yeah. Maybe even less. I like season two, but and three is really good too. Yeah, it's not like the best sitcom or anything. It's just got some good things in it. It definitely does get grinding and annoying, though, in season four.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Right. Yeah, they just don't... They're just not as good at writing it, basically. At Rastorat says around episode 100 of the jar cast, you guys said that being hit in the balls is about as painful as period cramps. I personally think that being hitting the balls doesn't actually hurt, but just makes you feel really sick and uncomfortable. Thoughts?
Starting point is 00:20:42 it does hurt but I know what he means though it's not it's not the classic pain because you you don't feel it in the area that it's kind of impacted you kind of feel it in yeah in your like stomach area no I'd say initially you feel it
Starting point is 00:20:59 where the impact is and then it like travels it like reverberates throughout your entire body it's like not where the pain is though you know like if you have a cart on your arm it's the cut that's hurting when you're kicked in the balls it like kind of goes through you yeah that's what i mean it goes through your whole body and it that is painful
Starting point is 00:21:19 so it is pain you know i've hurt myself a lot i wouldn't say it's it's painful it's just the winding it's hurt your balls a lot no i've just hurt like myself a lot just on cuts and stuff and oh you mean you've had many injuries i've happened yeah i'm not hurting myself a lot i mean i've had lots of injuries and it's just like i don't consider that like a on that same level. It's just like you just feel winded and just a bit uncomfortable. But... Okay. At Chesse F.C. 86
Starting point is 00:21:49 is James talk about your excitement for the new Taylor Swift album? I will listen to it. I will probably like it. You haven't listened to it yet? Not yet. But I probably will. Because I listen to the last Taylor Swift album and I kind of like that. At Maria, am I drunk? Says thoughts on Ghost of Sushima, if any
Starting point is 00:22:10 of you have played it. I'm the only one that's played it, right? Jim's the only one that's played it. I've watched you play it a little bit. It's really, really pretty. And I love to set it. Yeah, there's nothing. The start of the game isn't very good.
Starting point is 00:22:27 The whole sort of intro bit. It doesn't feel particularly modern and how long it takes to get going. It seems like a formula that's been refined, you know, and like polish to a tea. But it's just like the first real mission is like a stealth thing where if you get spotted, you immediately fail. And that stuff to me was quite boring.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Like I'm fine with a slower intro. But, yeah, it just sucked that beginning bit. But then I'd say five hours into the game, it really grabbed me. what story wise or combat wise everything wise everything like works together in this thing and i think um if you're going to play the game you should play it in a way where it's challenging for you because the hard mode or something yeah that's what i've been doing because the whole like point of the game is that um like the conflict of your character is that he wants to be a noble
Starting point is 00:23:34 samurai from like the because his family will think he's lame if he if he doesn't act that way but the like threat in the game being the Mongols they're like such a big threat that the only way
Starting point is 00:23:54 you can really deal with this is through sneaky tactics and being a bit of a scumbag yeah yeah and I think when the game actually really challenges you and makes you think like man this would just be so much easier
Starting point is 00:24:06 if I snuck around just gotten I but you feel guilty for doing it because the way the story works it's really good yeah and the combat is just having seen it I appreciate where they put effort it's quite
Starting point is 00:24:23 very visible that they've made it as like kind of true to like source material like old school like Samway stuff as possible I appreciate that yeah it's heavily inspired by that old media yeah I just I I've always had a soft spot for that stuff so seeing it in like a modern day kind of
Starting point is 00:24:40 really good game is I I appreciate that, it's quite nice Yeah, it's probably my favourite PS4 Exclusive I, really? Like personally for me Really? Yeah, better than Spider-Man and God a war?
Starting point is 00:24:52 It's My favourite before this, honestly, was probably Spider-Man Right Like, I'm just talking about Not the best one, but what I want Okay Because I think Spider-Man has better
Starting point is 00:25:08 Combat than God of War And I think Sushima has better come better than both of them right okay um yeah i'd highly recommend it and it's way better than the last of us too damn thrown showed it's not even throwing shakes i think i think that's actually kind of just the consensus to be honest it's it just annoys me they're they were released so close together i think they didn't really give susima much of a chance to be honest although i don't think it's hurting it it's doing no i'm sure it's doing really well but still it's just taken a bunch of the limelight away from it
Starting point is 00:25:43 I think. Yeah, maybe they weren't as confident. They had their confidence in the wrong one. But I think, especially if they do a sequel, this could be like a heavy-hitting franchise. Because it's totally unique as well. You know, what else is in that setting
Starting point is 00:26:01 other than Sekiro, and that is not an accessible game? That's not accessible and it's all like monstery. Yeah, yeah. Which is what I like about it. No games that are super like gameplay focus like that like dynastior is just kind of What about a neo oh that's a souls game is really is a soul's kind thing there Yeah the thing is that the way that game looks just does not appeal to me I think they are ugly games both of them
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah, I've heard they're really good but I mean the fact that they are exclusive to the PlayStation makes me less likely to play it Right, let's end on this one then from a chair over there who says who has will worst farts, James or Argy? James. Yeah, it's obvious James. And Argy's got some stinky fucking farts. That pains me to say. Yeah, but it's immediate.
Starting point is 00:26:51 No, but Argy does it more often. So that's why I say he's bad. He's actually been pretty good lately. Yeah, also, I think that makes him less worse. Because you sort of get used to him. Whereas you, when you drop a goddamn nuke on... It's the potency. Argy's farts, I'd say, a 60%.
Starting point is 00:27:09 James is, they're like 80%. like just purity. I don't know what you're... Yeah. It fills a room. It's like mustard gas. It's messed up. At the moment, my body's readjusting
Starting point is 00:27:20 to a much better diet, so it's like he's cleansing all the shit from like 20 years of bollocks out. So it's just... They fucking stink. I'm not going to deny, but hey, if I had shreddies, we wouldn't have this problem.
Starting point is 00:27:35 And before we go to second, normally we do like a, you know, what we've been watching shit, but... Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Tame Impala. Holy. Who could create? Yeah, I've always...
Starting point is 00:27:48 Who's going to be listening to Macdemarco next? I have listened to some of him as well, but I've been listening to the slow wash. Yes, some of that album is just actually incredible. Like, I fucking love it at the moment. Like, I'll go on a walk of Guyas. It's just like, I'm fucking feelings. I think every one of his albums is good. And only a few days ago, it's just I shuffled onto one of, is it co-ops?
Starting point is 00:28:11 that album and it's just like instantly I was just like holy fuck this is really good and I slept I've been sleeping on Tame Impala yeah currents is memed in that way that albums that when they get to that level of popularity yeah it's like it's just good man dark side of the moon yeah it's like you're really gonna shit on that because it's good like what is your justification this I fucking hate those like start a pack memes and all that shit yeah so that's what you always said when I said, oh, lame in parlour, you always like... Yeah, because it's just like, so...
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's just a bunch of people that hate the shit that's popular and they're just, like, put it into an image and then they're like, yeah, I guess that makes it funny.

Starting point is 00:29:27 really good yeah i've been listening to it um a fair amount now yeah it's really good this project's been just spitting out bangers there's any one i haven't really cared about and it was the one before this one that we didn't really talk about Um, didn't have a bunch of, like, grime rap in it? Was that that one? One was a, like, a grime one. There was another one that I can't even remember at all. Yeah, one was, like, not a song machine.

Starting point is 00:32:08 from the Jarlings on our subreddit, head over to the suggestion thread over there and ask us whatever you like, to be honest. Whatever you like. Jive 42069 is going to start us off with a quick fire round for James only. Since he has so much trouble with coming up with answers on the spot, only 10 seconds are allowed per answer.
Starting point is 00:32:29 So I get like a stopwatch out? I feel like 10 seconds is low enough where I can just count it on my fingers, to be honest. No, I've got the stop watch. is this you have to answer quickly James alright this is the whole point no waffle you have to just get
Starting point is 00:32:43 to the point of the question and just answer it right oh fuck number one would you accept a never ending bottle of whiskey if it meant prawns and bread no longer existed
Starting point is 00:32:52 no McFarlane or Rogan which is the more tolerable Seth McFarlane really that shocks me 10 out of 10 level diarrhea or 7 out of 10
Starting point is 00:33:02 level constipation constipation Justify your ultra-conservative views I don't have them which beltman do you suspect has the better knob five
Starting point is 00:33:17 four three Jamie AK or AR AK every single day of the week Christmas tank or Christmas Spitfire Christmas Spitfire Have to look after five guises or one argi
Starting point is 00:33:33 Five guises Because then it's like a herd you can fucking push, like, at a field. It would be beast. So it was only one that was, there was delay on, and it was a peepy-related one. Yeah, and it was a 70-second delay, so that's fair enough. Yeah, I'd say you did a good job there, to be honest. God, no, actually thinking, just thinking about Gaius a second, he's been a bit of a knob recently.
Starting point is 00:33:51 He's just absolutely psycho. He's the way to... Yeah, I'd prefer one argument of five Gaiuses. I don't think I could look after five guys. Maybe if I was on a farm. Yeah, yeah. I'd be right. Well, I, my mindset for that was on a walk, because they're such, like...
Starting point is 00:34:06 I said this I think the other day they are the most wild dog you can buy because it's either they're on a walk and they're like so like focused
Starting point is 00:34:14 or they don't want to be near anyone they're so like wild in nature where if I was on a walk it'd be easy because it's like guys he just excels
Starting point is 00:34:25 he just loves that high energy he needs oneing so when I won he loves it it's just collies they're just so intelligent yeah he like he chase it
Starting point is 00:34:32 it's like when I let him with the lead he just sprints off charge his back bites the lead because he's in growls at me because he's so excited so having five of them would be so easy because they just do their own thing and you've seen you guys have seen it it's like
Starting point is 00:34:45 if I say a word that we'll call it's instant yeah and all you need is like one ball so much energy so it's like I can control him like nothing else like there's times and I was like a wad and I saw it and I was like no and he didn't do it for it he didn't go for it
Starting point is 00:35:00 oh really this is the same dog how many rats has he caught before a lot Really? They listen to them as tennis balls because he's just a psycho. But yeah, on a walk, like, I have complete control over him
Starting point is 00:35:12 and he knows it. And it's just like, if he walks, he'll always look back from me so he needs that constant kind of. So, like, but argue, it's just like, nah, I ain't dealing with him. But then if Ayas was in a house, then no, no, no, I don't want him.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Don't know. I'll have anything other than him. He's just chaotic. Sponge Boy, Ahoi, says, Alex, you naughty boy. You made a deal with James during a rock papers, scissors game that you'd upload a new I build
Starting point is 00:35:36 everything video by the next jarcast has been two weeks since that deal was made and yet you've failed to deliver James will now get to choose what punishment is necessary for Alex as well as getting full control over the jar media Twitter account I never agreed to those terms by the way but
Starting point is 00:35:52 what do you want my punishment to be you dirty boy and just enjoy the process I have been the... That's not a punishment yeah I have been thinking about it Like it's been on my mind
Starting point is 00:36:07 But just in the hierarchy I just never got around to it In the time it's taken you to make Not make a video I've created a car channel Yeah but in that time I also edited Javids And did other stuff
Starting point is 00:36:20 I know I know but yeah just It'd be nice to see a new world In that time you were doing absolutely Actually I did make a significant Lego purchase That might be the first the first major piece of lego i bought this year i haven't bought lego i haven't bought any lego for ages wait i can i just um inject my lego info
Starting point is 00:36:43 please i saw a um a set that i was like man if i could afford that i would totally get it really what was it a grand piano oh yeah yeah that's just came like just been real sorry awesome the grand piano yeah yeah the ideas line is one of the best um yeah the best um yeah the best ones I've got there. You can, like, press the keys and stuff. I don't know off the top of my head. I only saw that. I mean, like, it doesn't have to make sound,
Starting point is 00:37:08 but it looks like you can press the key and, like, all the bits in the piano move. Wow. Yeah, the idea's line is genuinely really good. Actually, it looks so cool. I'm subject to, like, building things. I've been looking at, like, Gundam statues because it's like...
Starting point is 00:37:22 You can say I've been looking at guns. Because, obviously, you've got the spitfine. It's like, you know, when I move out, I want to actually do that stuff, because it's a good, like, time racter. and I found out that the company made them they made the metal
Starting point is 00:37:37 from the franchise, the sci-fi metal in real life so the whole set is made out titanium and guess how much the fucking set is for a little fucking figure $200,000 pound What? Yeah and they all sold out instantly
Starting point is 00:37:50 but it's like this really dark metallic grey, it looks so good but it's like... The better does look pretty cool Yeah it's like that's sick like they went to the effort of making the artificial thing like sci-fi metal to in real life it's like really cool but two grand for me fuck yeah man
Starting point is 00:38:08 like that that shit so there's collectibles I know like actually looking into like the most successful like IPs franchises Gundam's one of the it's like one of the top tens because it's just the models people like it's like the 16th in the world just because the models are so expensive and great but I was crazy when around Jim's birthday I was looking at some like a Sekaro models and stuff they're like so expensive they're like crazy expensive yeah but they look so detailed though
Starting point is 00:38:38 the boss you're on at the moment it wears like a mask the monk there's a content creator I watched he went to like a live thingy and got to try out the game like one of the first people to try out the game and everyone that went there got
Starting point is 00:38:55 given one of the masks wow like it looks so cool it must be so valuable so, yeah, it would be so expensive to buy it. Yeah, it's like... It's like an authentic Japanese Yeah, that's like a thousand on eBay It's like, that stuff's really cool
Starting point is 00:39:09 And it's like when I move out and I I can like get a game somewhere With my PC and whatnot I just want to have like a really expensive Cool kind of game thing that just It's like a centrepiece on like Displays, it's like really nice Yeah
Starting point is 00:39:22 Yeah Moon Man lives in a house Says do you still argue about Carrie behind the scenes of every episode pretty much um yeah i mean just before i dread most every week is what are we going to eat before we record the jarcos no it's not even like a meme it's like food
Starting point is 00:39:42 it's like a really big thing before we film is this like even today we'll just like yeah we couldn't film until we had something ready like we didn't necessarily have to eat it but it had to be ready it needed to be food available yeah and it's like if if we can't decide it creates like chaotic cast because we haven't eaten and we spent like hours disgusting food you never especially when we record late like this episode yeah it's like half 12 right now
Starting point is 00:40:06 is it really yeah and we ain't we ain't though but it's just feel free to disagree but I feel as though my input is quite vital when it comes to the food
Starting point is 00:40:21 we met up like a couple of days ago to record we spent so long just like doing nothing because Jim didn't do anything so you just didn't do anything if I'm the one like playing the video game in the living room food does not get ordered like I'm not saying no nothing gets not saying I'm required to like organize the pod it's just food it's no it's group think we have to like group think you no it's not even like because the likelihood is when we order food I'm going to eat two
Starting point is 00:40:53 thirds of it my input is required it's just like you have the assertiveness to get it while me and Alex just kind of like we just don't so we just do nothing and you're just like fucking do it well I wouldn't call any of us assertive no no it's one word
Starting point is 00:41:11 but it's like you're the most out of all of us so that's why you're like get organised but then sometimes genuinely like a lot of the time I don't know what I want I've been like that yeah no that's that's always
Starting point is 00:41:22 we need to start just like having a a weak rotor thing where one day I have to choose the next week you have to choose the next week that would speed it up considerably but there might be some complaint that's the thing that pisses me
Starting point is 00:41:38 off every time where it's like I chose the last four meals we had and I'm like Alex what do you want it's up to you today what do you want and Alex is just going to be five guys though if you ask me no but you will always say I don't mind it's up to you guys
Starting point is 00:41:54 and then I'll ask James and it'll be the same fucking answer so then you've got to choose every single meal because I'm like I don't know but then it's like you'll say something and I well I gave the pretense that I don't I don't mind and I'm just like don't want yeah yeah that every time yeah Alex is truly easy when it comes to food me you're pretty much fine with anything but when it's James it's like I don't like milk cheese but I love pizza yeah yeah I'm so like difficult but now I'm trying to
Starting point is 00:42:26 be easier yeah you got to open you know it's down like spice a bit yeah you I'm changing, you know, so you've changed. Oda Das has an interesting story slash opinion for us. People have brought up the stories of propranolol, which I keep mentioning recently, and just wanted to say that I've dealt with this issue before with being put on a lanzapine, an anti-psychotic meant for schizophrenia, even though it was for my anxiety and depression. And I definitely agree that you should research your own medicine,
Starting point is 00:42:59 but I also believe that doctors should always be conversed with before any choices are made especially if you can get a different doctor's opinion remember that a doctor prescribes medication with the belief that the benefits will be greater than the negatives and trust me I've had the negatives before feet turning blue from an ADHD medication I was prescribed scary-ass shit and made me paranoid as fuck just wanted to say I just want to say this as to not give the impression of fuck doctors Google is better as that that is just stupid
Starting point is 00:43:30 do your own research and question your doctor but don't ignore him and also follow and also don't Apollo his or her opinions blindly yeah that's something that I think is really tricky because when you're in front of a doctor it's like they're the crucible of information
Starting point is 00:43:47 when it comes to things regarding health like how am I supposed to a lot of the time I don't even know what to ask I just listen to what they have to say and they pat me on the tushy as I leave Yeah it's that balance of obviously understanding That a doctor knows more about
Starting point is 00:44:05 You know the way of body functions than you do Unless you've studied it They definitely have a broad knowledge And an educated perspective they're coming from But at the same time they are humans that can make mistakes And also like web-MDing everything That's never done anyone any favours I would say just in general
Starting point is 00:44:23 It's not you never like like self-diagnosed or choose what you should do so obviously you know professionals their opinion does matter but it's like you should always just be knowledgeable things like if if you get precise stuff just search it up try and understand what's yeah i think the best point is the multiple doctor thing we're like if a doctor says something and you research it and you feel weird about it maybe getting another doctor's opinion is is the best next step yeah but i mean that's not always the easiest no like yeah it's for us in the UK at the moment i haven't been to the GP and God knows how fucking wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:57 I've been meaning to go for a while but I'll see COVID's like Yeah I mean waiting times are bad enough When you've got a full-time job You've got to find this slot where you can get one Appointment And then if you need to get that checked by another doctor You've got to find another slot in your own
Starting point is 00:45:14 And if it's not something urgent You're so low Yeah yeah yes And that's all the Conservatives fault So Yep Maddest Max Question for the Passion
Starting point is 00:45:25 at napper himself. Are you still napping at lunch when working from home? No, actually. I'm going to docks myself. Oops. With work, stress and being at home, it's like if the moment I can't, if the moment
Starting point is 00:45:41 I start noticing that I'm like, I'm getting stressed, I just sleep. Even if it's 10 o'clock, if it's 2 o'clock, if it's 4 o'clock, I will just go to bed. How long do you sleep for, though? A nap is about an hour and a half. okay
Starting point is 00:45:55 it's just asleep I feel shit after but that's why I feel shit after but it's the only way I deal with bad stress and I always make up the hours I work till like seven or something
Starting point is 00:46:03 just to you know make sure I'm doing the full hours but it helps just managing things because it's like just being overwhelmed is bad so just going in with a clear head even at home it's nice
Starting point is 00:46:15 and it's helped so awesome so it's like the like the walk and shit Ronaldo it's like they all nap constantly because it's actually unbelievably like healthy for you you just have constant naps
Starting point is 00:46:27 it's weird I mean cats are healthy right they're always sleeping I just I like naps I just like sleeping yeah I can't nap I yeah I can't nap I once I'm up it's just done even if I wake up at like six like that's it my issue is that I don't tend to get up
Starting point is 00:46:44 you know like I I will sleep for fucking 12 hours and they say most people will spend a third of their life asleep I'm pretty sure I'm going to
Starting point is 00:46:58 by the time I die I will have spent half of my life asleep See I'm the difference is As soon as I I'll My body clock's up at six and I sit up Boom I ain't full my sleep
Starting point is 00:47:11 Yeah but then It's because But I also don't sleep at night Like last night I barely slept But I then napped all day At various times So it's like My sleep at night is worse
Starting point is 00:47:22 but then I make up for it throughout the day by napping. So it kind of equals out. No, but I find even if I get if, because apparently the ideal amount of sleep is like eight hours. Yeah. If I get eight hours in a night,
Starting point is 00:47:38 it doesn't matter when, sorry, it doesn't matter how much time I sleep for. What matters is the time I wake up? Yeah. You ever looked into this like sleep? cycle thing and all that kind of it just doesn't it doesn't apply to me there's so many different variables for things
Starting point is 00:47:59 that affect sleep too yeah I mean sometimes I'll wake up and it'll be like six in the morning and I'll feel as though I could just get up and go through my day and be fine but because it's six in the morning I'll go back to sleep and then just be out for the count
Starting point is 00:48:16 and then wake up at a more ordinary time and feel like shit yeah that's because I don't know how to sort that out that that's because you got you got into a part of the sleep cycle where you can't get up during that time because you feel shit but why would i wake up at that point in the sleep cycle because you have to get up like what it doesn't make sense because like even in the hours i work there's no consistency none of it makes sense yeah it might just be worth looking into maybe it's pure chaos i just live chaos endlessly charlie is a dweeb has one for us
Starting point is 00:48:52 How's it going, Goobers? So I'm sure most charlings will agree that the normal episode may just be the greatest episode of the Jarcast ever. The episode encapsulates my entire sense of humor. And I've made it a pact to listen to it every Christmas. What I've wanted to ask is this. Would you consider making another episode like the normal episode again? Not exactly a sequel, but an episode that much like the normal episode tries to succeed in being a certain way. For example, the abnormal episode or the family-friendly episode.
Starting point is 00:49:22 that consists of only family-friendly behaviour and humour. I think the whole concept of an episode being an experiment is genius, and a concept that could be explored even further, IMO. No matter what you do, though, it will most likely be hilarious, thanks. There's a curse with JAR. We can never follow anything up, ever. JAR has to be spontaneous. Aren't we on, like, an episode?
Starting point is 00:49:49 No, I don't mean like that. No, I mean like... You mean jokes. Like, sequels to things. Click and Reuben 2. That wasn't Char. We've done countless as good as they say is... No, no, but that's really focused, so that works.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I'm talking like spontaneous, we did this thing and it worked out great, and it's funny. We can't follow that up if we try. It's got to just happen naturally, is what I'm trying to say. like we can't ever make a sequel to normal but we can make something that's the thing like I would argue that yeah before the normal episode there were countless episodes of gimmicks yeah but I mean like before we didn't sit down and discuss like what gimmick can we do to really make this one memorable it was just like that's the spontaneous nature just happens we just like this would be fucking funny let's do it normally I come up with the idea and
Starting point is 00:50:47 then I'm like just randomly spring on you guys and just play along yeah you're the coke head you're just like the coke head it's just like this boom my personal favorite one is the lying on the floor episode i don't know what i really like that one that's a good one i like the um elephant in the room because you're i yeah my argue i came out the upside down episode's quite good oh the upside down one is great yeah so we got ideas is it just yeah we can't say them their countless gaming episodes this is the darkast You know, this will be memorable Darkest episode yet, dude
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah We decided to take Jar a little bit darker You know, this is the Nolan Yeah, this is the Nolan version The JAR Public News since 89 says Dear Alex Jamie and Pissadick Next Monday when the next
Starting point is 00:51:39 JARCast goes up Me and my brother will be on a nine-hour car ride back home from a vacation We'll be taking Don't worry, we're only going to our cabin Where there are very few other people I've tried a handful of times to get my brother to listen to the jarcast but to no avail I've never been able to make him listen to more than about 20 minutes of any jarcast
Starting point is 00:52:01 so I don't think he's ever had the full experience of a proper episode I'm sure I could get him to enjoy the podcast as many of the topics specifically video game related topics and the endless talk of shit and farts would probably make him laugh for hours now he's going to be in the car with me for nine hours so I have a golden opportunity to force him to listen to my favorite podcast. My question that I have for you then is this. What is your opinion? No, what in your opinion would be some good episodes to expose my brother to
Starting point is 00:52:29 in order to indoctrinate him into the cult of Jha? I was thinking of showing ambition chips. Mario Bros. Invade. Yeah, ooh, yeah. And if I think he's ready, the normal episode. I would love to know what you lovely Mingers think. If you have one episode to convince someone to listen to you, what episode would it be?
Starting point is 00:52:46 I look forward to potentially hearing your answers. Me and my brother will be listening to this episode together as it premieres on Monday, so I hope that my brother is surprised when, if you guys read this question. You hear that, Will, your brother Jack, is on your motherfucking... is on the motherfucking jar-car's bitch. I just want to say that all the titles of that don't bring back any memories because I have no clue. I'd say that's Jarre's biggest floor. Yeah, well, no, it's not even a fore.
Starting point is 00:53:16 I'm having a leg cramp. What? Which part? My calf. Oh, God. No, I had one. I had one in the fight. That's fucked up, dude.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Oh, that's better. No, no, it's not the... That is the cure that solves it. No, no, I'm pretty sure that's what you showed me. Ages, like, in like, year seven or something, you're just like, if you got a crampere, like, stretch out your, like, foot and it's just like... It's impossible to do yourself. Anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:49 That's... Yeah, ooh, yeah. Isn't that the Harambe episode? No. Yo, yeah was way after. It was when... No, yo, yeah, was the Mr. Bean three-hour episode where it was showing Mr. Bean with Yo-U-ya, with the GIF repeating.
Starting point is 00:54:03 No, no, that was, um... That was when I was... I thought that was... I can't keep it straight. That was me saying, um, started from the bottom now we're here. Yeah, started from the bottom, now the whole team fucking hit. Best episode. No, yo, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:19 was when um we we used to do that thing where we walked on set with the fake laughing and yeah and james like imitating a crowd when yeah oh yeah and then it became like a weird chant for us so i would definitely recommend that oh that anti zula vibes yeah yeah yeah for sure james loves anti zula um i i would honestly say uh just go on the playlist and just see what Thumbnails are funny. Yeah. Yeah, the one with the hippo chasing. It's just a complete gamble.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Yeah, that got moved in it. Did it? Oh, yeah, the naked hippo one. Yeah, that's against Pollas. I like the one with the monkey. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's an old one. He's got like a mustache. I actually saw it.
Starting point is 00:55:07 I saw a thumbnail which are. But I saw it, but I never clicked it was jar because I thought it was a meme compilation. What was it? Which one? What was the thumbnail? It's like a PS5 meme It was like
Starting point is 00:55:20 If she doesn't buy me a PS5 I'm gonna play over feelings Oh that one yeah I thought that's a meme Cooperation Wasn't that a corncast Yeah I like That was when the PS5 was like
Starting point is 00:55:31 I looked at it And I just thought it was a Then I looked it I was like That's a jar What the fuck is that thumbnail Like Christ No we gotta do that video
Starting point is 00:55:40 We go through like The thumbnails of jar Because there's so many secrets hidden in those thumbnails Yeah it's a part It's a whole whole other level of like the in-humour is it's just like the thumbnails and the names. Oda-Daz has a question for us.
Starting point is 00:55:57 You talked about how the UK handled COVID-19, but how about your opinions on the US with COVID? Recently Trump has stated 99% of cases are harmless, except data indicates 20% of cases need hospitalisation. Stated he wants to withdraw funding from who, which will mean a vaccine will take longer with the excuse being that who and China are covering up the origins of the virus even though the US gave $893 million to China and they gave the equivalent of $89 million in 2009 blah blah but you know whatever don't don't believe
Starting point is 00:56:36 just don't believe political leaders actually extra opinions on anti-mask people not just in the US the other people who break the rules from the government people who actively tried to get infected COVID-19 like the COVID parties or the people who think that it's all a conspiracy and that it's just not real. No, because we have the anti-mask protests here in London, I'm pretty sure we did as well. I can't, there've been so many protests, I can't keep up. It was, it was recently.
Starting point is 00:57:05 We have, we have those, like, hyper-American, like, freedom shit here, and it's kind of, you know, we've had cases of people dying because people are spitting on them. how many people do you actually believe how many people exist that genuinely believe that it's not real that it's like a, like it's all a conspiracy a considerable amount I think that would be quite a minority I think more people would believe
Starting point is 00:57:31 that it's something that was created to control people not that just the whole thing is faked or whatever yeah but more that it was a created virus made by the Illuminati to control people and eliminate cash.
Starting point is 00:57:47 From our perspective as Brits, the way the US has been handling it has the way we've viewed it has kind of been that it's been kind of a mess and that there's been this conflict with the hyper, like libertarian types that feel like it's impeding their rights
Starting point is 00:58:06 or whatever to behave in a sensible way during the virus. So. I don't know. It's really hard to get a good read on, like, what the actual reality is, um, because it's just the information is out there and, like, I'm sure some states are doing much better than others, like Florida is the main one that's highlighted as just the complete cluster focus. I've heard some weird stuff about people who I'm just signed death ravers for their kids in school
Starting point is 00:58:34 because they just take, they're putting them back and they're like, well, they could die. I mean, it's definitely not been handled well. No, but it's hard to say how, because our only, like, perspective into it or at least my perspective is through like Twitter yeah yeah social media that that stuff is so inflammatory that you only hear the extremes so what the day to day living is like I don't truly know yeah I guess now as of today right it's like law that in the UK you have to wear a mask if you're going into a shop I went I went to shop just a few hours go and people will...
Starting point is 00:59:15 Yeah, I went to the supermarket and everyone was wearing a mask and I'd say, I felt way more, like, secure. But, I mean, why you open pubs like, a month ago? Oh, yeah, where people can't wear a mask... Like, you can't wear a mask in a pub because how are you gonna drink?
Starting point is 00:59:33 Well, yeah, like, how restaurants were, like, open, like, are they, like, what is it now? Do you have to wear a mask to go to? No, because how can you? So, why is it fine to do that in a... restaurant or a pub or wherever but then if you go to Tesco it's different
Starting point is 00:59:50 but up until today you didn't have to wear a mask like this government really has not given a shit and they've just they've only done stuff when people are like wait a minute why aren't you doing this?
Starting point is 01:00:06 It's like too late it's like weeks too late I would say I can't judge America because we've been as equally as bad I don't think we've been equally as bad But we've got to consider America's got massive population So it's going to be different
Starting point is 01:00:20 But we haven't been good No but they've also got Way more land Their population is spread across But we've not We've been the worst in Europe And we're probably the third worst in the world If we consider things
Starting point is 01:00:34 We've been terrible And Yeah we're lucky that we live in a part of the UK That's so kind of rural That we haven't been hit in the same way It's literally the least bad part of the UK Wilcher's the
Starting point is 01:00:46 Yes it's the best part of the country To be in So yeah we've been lucky in that regard We have I've also heard from inside people In like Sanjuries and stuff If you don't wear a mask It doesn't matter
Starting point is 01:00:58 They can't do anything So you can walk in there Without a mask and they won't stop you Well it's become a bit of a like We're battle now Because some of the supermarkets We're not going to force you to make a mask To wear a mask sorry
Starting point is 01:01:10 And some others Are not going to let you in Unless you are wearing one So it's going to be like, the people who believe in freedom are going to go for the ones where you don't have to wear one. I, yeah, it's strange and it's, I disagree with what our government's done. I think they've been silly. They could do better. Yeah, they were just, like, too scared to take a stance early on.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Yeah. Because I was talking to someone today who, for work, has to travel to, like, Spain and Portugal. And he was saying there, you have to have, um, um like hand gel on your person at all times oh really yeah there's there's an 800 euro fine if you're what caught without a mask on outside your home and whoa hand gel yeah it's hot court like you truly need to follow the rules and like just basically protect everyone else and it's like early on like in portugal if you left your house and they didn't have you didn't have a completely valid reason they would escort you home you couldn't leave like yeah they've done it so so well
Starting point is 01:02:17 is portugal all right now then are they coming out of block no they've some some like businesses there and whatnot have got of going back to working them home due to like suspicion of cases i mean it just makes sense to wear a mask if you're in spain is going into lockdown mark two i believe yeah oh are they god it's just it's do you genuinely think that this is just the new norm now but how can we go back from this now well i mean people would have said that after world war one and two like how long is it going to last though it's going to last i think it's going to be like kind of a mainstay thing it makes me think of like 9-11 where it's like you'll never experience the same thing in the same way again you're
Starting point is 01:02:58 never going to be on a plane and have the like open cockpit thing and just see the pilots ever again after 9-11 it's going to be a similar thing where maybe when just not going to be able to go back to the way it was we there's going to be permanent change especially in restaurants of just like barriers and like you know just more kind of separation or like thinking about just like um like trolleys and supermarkets and baskets and stuff the way they're like wiped down and clean now are they going to just stop doing that at a certain point or are we going to be like switched on now that this this bacteria thing and that we've got to be more cautious that the way we're kind of shoving all these sardines these warm sardines in a can
Starting point is 01:03:39 Do you not think the way people have acted since like numbers have been going down, the second a vaccine comes out, I could see people just being like, well, it's over. That's that phase done. But if I don't know if it will affect the world. What do you think it's going to start to happen when, if this vaccine comes out? Are we going to have the case where people like start wearing badges that say like, hey, I'm vaccinated. I don't even need to wear a mask. I'm fine.
Starting point is 01:04:11 It's such a crazy world we live in. We can't even like imagine what that'll be like because nothing in the world would be the history of humanities won't see something like that. There's never happened. But millions of people have to be vaccinated like that. It's never happened. Well, I don't know just logistically how that works.
Starting point is 01:04:29 It can't. How they're going to spread it and have, like who do you choose who gets the vaccination first? People to pay for it. Really? You think it's going to be like that? Yeah. Just whoever is the biggest one.
Starting point is 01:04:40 No, it will start, it will be quite literally the richest people to the poorest. They get it first. Surely the priority should be those working with the ill people. Well, yeah, I'd imagine NHS staff, um, all people that are considered, um... A risk. A high risk, yeah. Not just high risk, but essential workers. I assume they would get like a free pass.
Starting point is 01:05:02 You'd hope so, yeah. But I mean, apparently the vaccine is coming along. Yeah. Yeah, wasn't it? Wasn't it Oxford Union? Yeah, they, we've done pop a test now. They said back in like April that they suspect in June, July, they're going to have something significant to release in terms of a vaccine.
Starting point is 01:05:27 And I mean, the trials are going down. And I think it would be great for this country if we were the ones that... Yeah, it would be a good little boost if it came from... But I don't know if that would be the case. And it's... It's weird that China hasn't already You'd think Yeah, I don't know
Starting point is 01:05:45 I don't know what this science is going on over there And we can't say But like the way Donald Trump's doing it And like withdraw Like criticism of who and all that It's just It's just silly politicians You know what can you say
Starting point is 01:05:57 It's like the same with Brazil Which is like America but 10 times worse So it's like Yeah it's hard to know actually How the how different countries are dealing with it
Starting point is 01:06:09 unless you're in it we can talk about how the UK's dealing with it because we're dealing with it on a day basis I can only talk about America from Twitter's perspective I can only see from Brazil
Starting point is 01:06:20 from the fact that the president denied it exists and now he's got it like Christ Proof mean 892 says Question for Alex You talked about your love for Ori
Starting point is 01:06:31 quite a lot But I was wondering If you've played Hollow Night If you haven't Are you interested in it? If you played, are you excited about the sequel Silk Song? And what are your favorite parts about the game? My personal favorite is the atmosphere and the law of the world.
Starting point is 01:06:47 I haven't played it, but I know it's supposed to be a good game. And Jim has played it a fair amount. Yeah, I've played like 20 hours, I think. How long, sorry? 20 hours? Everybody seemed? Yeah, it's really good. it's not as good as Dark Souls
Starting point is 01:07:10 wasn't like a 2D Metrovania though yeah I don't think it's a thing for you to be honest it requires too much time yeah that's the main thing that's put me off it yeah that's what I like about the Eori thing is like you can speed run it and finish it in like a couple hours but I mean it just feels so good
Starting point is 01:07:31 all the feedback is so satisfying yeah the main thing that annoys me about the game is like ory um and Mario and shit it's got a thing where if you just touch an enemy you take damage right
Starting point is 01:07:47 and for a soul sort of game it can be frustrating but I mean it's just a learning curve it is a very very good game it's designed like an old school game and that's why I'll never play it it isn't it isn't no by that
Starting point is 01:08:04 the like yeah touching enemies that's an old school game thing. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, you're not really into platformers anyway, aren't you? I could never play it. It's like, it's like I've said before, like, there's a point when older games, no matter what, but always feel shit. The game's not shit, but it's just like, I can't jump between, like, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:21 modern game and that, because it's, it's just like too much. Hollow Night feels like a modern game, though. Yeah, but I, I know that that's like a good game. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but again, I'd never say it would be a game you would like. Yeah. It's niche. It's a Nice game
Starting point is 01:08:36 Yeah I think Yeah But a very good I just heard it gets really hard At a certain point Yeah I mean I had to start the game
Starting point is 01:08:46 Three different times Until it finally like Yeah I've done that with games Like Xcom before Yeah We just gotta figure it out With Hollow Knight
Starting point is 01:08:55 It was I don't know The third time I played it I was just like I found it way easier And I I guess I was just in a more patient mood
Starting point is 01:09:06 yeah what would you say was the time difference between like first and third of your playfrews was like a year oh massive yeah that's probably why then because you've probably played a lot more games than like matured as a person it's like yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:09:20 no I would say like if you played a game like four years ago which you never got on your and play it now and you'll probably smash it instantly because it's just you do with games but with hollow night I mean I'd recommend buying it even if you're not going to finish it? Because for the price
Starting point is 01:09:36 tag, you get bang for your buck. Yeah. Dude. Like, there is so much game there for it. It's like, I got it for like 10 quid. On switch was it? Yeah. Yeah. I got on Switch for it. Kylo who says, if there is
Starting point is 01:09:52 a second wave of COVID in December will the corn cast come back? I mean, yeah, if we're putting a lockdown again, then you know, even before, if we know it's coming, we'll, you know, we'll put our safety before anything because I know
Starting point is 01:10:08 I'm still working for a moment there's no plans at a moment for me to go back to work so like it's not changing for me and be realistic you've got to cancel till like April next year at the least because if there's a second spike we're going to be long time stuck in home again
Starting point is 01:10:24 so you're in for a long haul and you've got no matter what you've got kind of expect that and be ready let's do two more then I reckon two more Adam Ed the Maroon says What does it feel like to have a small niche from around the world That are interested in what you have to say every week
Starting point is 01:10:41 Plus how does it feel to have people look up to you as inspirations and role models Don't Yeah No we've talked about I've always found that weird I don't like this idea of like Putting content creators on a on a pedestal No No no I get that
Starting point is 01:11:00 I get that for most content creators because then not real people well they are real people and real people are flawed and that's what they show online is not them oh yeah yeah yeah the person I am when that camera is on is different to who I am yeah reality yeah totally different it's there's there's some truth in there but you have to understand that it's the way I behave and entertaining when you're making content
Starting point is 01:11:28 it isn't how I behave an act of course not no yeah and I think some people miss that and they think that that's your entire being is just like your your videos online yeah which is which is fair because like that's all they're seeing of you but you have to understand there's more to a person that that they're choosing to show you know like bits and pieces yeah we're all long-term friends so like the things we do is because of that like you nobody can replicate that like to us when we don't know them it's we have that that dynamic that it is what it is but yeah but The second that camera goes off, the way we talk to each other and behave is different.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Yes. Not that everything we're saying is a lie. No, we talk about the same things. We still have that, like, we're still, the opinions are still there. We're still those people, but it's just like, it's a different situation. Yeah, we're showing an element of ourselves instead of just being ourselves. Yeah, I mean, the only way you can truly understand it is if you get a camera and a mic and then you start recording yourself, then you'll understand what it's like.
Starting point is 01:12:32 to make the difference between making content and like watching it you know there is a definite like thing you have to i like the size of jar i've always said that like yeah um my long-term goal was always a hundred thousand subs that was like if you can get jar to that then that that's that would be like that'll be like incredible actually yeah and we're like cringially close to that at this point and like the the with the cast and as good as they say videos and stuff i feel like it's a good we've figured out kind of the best way
Starting point is 01:13:06 it's not like we're trying to push for like content or something it's just like it just feels natural it feels white brain death scene says and this is that we're gonna end on this
Starting point is 01:13:17 Jamie and James get 30 seconds each to try and make Alex laugh nothing is off the table go on then I'm gonna start counting wait no wait let me get the timer
Starting point is 01:13:30 no I can count it it's fine. I can't do this. I can't do that. What you've got to do is make me laugh. It's not hard. No, it is. I can't do that, Alex.
Starting point is 01:13:41 I can't do that. It's so much harder to make someone laugh when it's like, make someone laugh, you know? Yeah, it's like you laugh at me naturally because I do dumb shit like set my hair on fire. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Have you started the timer or am I supposed to be timing or? No, I was just stalling. Oh, okay. Right, I'm going to start in the timer now. Okay, I'm putting it. of my pants down then, Alex. That's just giving me a bony. Whoa, look at it.
Starting point is 01:14:08 It's like a six-pack. Look at that. Look, it's one C-3. Can I get a fourth one? It looks like a beetle. I laughed. I laughed.
Starting point is 01:14:22 They did it. James did it. He managed it. You, mate. Well, odd. Oh, Christ. Everyone can do that. Can you do that?
Starting point is 01:14:31 Do what? That, get like mini walls. I don't think I could get that many rolls. Do it. No. But it's like, if I tense, it's box solid. Because I kind of do workouts there, so it's like, I've just got rolls for days. I'll take your word.
Starting point is 01:14:47 You're not doing it on your neck as well. I can get like six. No. Well, that is a lot of rolls. I've just got flabby fucking skin. Yeah, you got loose skin like a dog. It's because I'm like, I'm tall.
Starting point is 01:15:02 You know, there's a timer right there we could have used. No, listen. Oh, yeah. It's because I'm tall. My body weight's never been the size of my skin, so I've just got fucking walls of skin that I need to grow into still. It's like the fucking wolves point. I don't know if that's how it works.
Starting point is 01:15:21 No, I'm just being fucking funny. He was right there. You got, you managed it. He didn't, though. He didn't do anything. No, it just laughed at me. It was a combo effort. It was just whoever could do it, you know, and James managed it.
