Starting point is 00:00:00 Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this episode of the JARMedia podcast. Today, it is episode 195, and we are joined with by Jamie and your boy, Alex. And today, so to start off this show, patrons. Oh, that's what we do first, right? I just want to say a lovely thank you to all the JAR Media patrons out there for helping support the show and making it as exciting as it can be. Now, do you know what, boys? Oh, no, no, what have you been consuming this last week? Because I...
Starting point is 00:00:52 Loads. I've been consuming a lot. You have? Yeah. I've been doing something quite different. and I've actually been watching normal TV Normal?
Starting point is 00:01:04 When you say normal TV Do you mean actual TV Or like Netflix? I mean Netflix But that for me Now that is now normal TV Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:01:12 But for me What have you watched on Netflix? I've started this Quite small show That I don't think many people know about It's called Peaky Blinders How is it? I've only seen the first episode
Starting point is 00:01:22 And I liked it But I never continued for some reason Really great I'm having a really good time You know It's short six six episodes of season? Yeah, when I saw that the whole season
Starting point is 00:01:30 is only six episodes, I was like, ooh, that's like a big alluring factor to me. Because when I see those, those like 20 episode long seasons, it's kind of a put off for me. The settings is super interesting, you know, post-World War I.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Yeah, I should have recommended it to you ages ago because, like, it's totally your kind of thing. How much of it have you seen, Jim? I've seen three seasons, maybe four. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:58 So you've seen the majority of it. Yeah. It's really good. I really liked it, but like I just sort of couldn't keep up. What happened was the fourth season, I think, came out. Right, yeah, yeah. But it came out like on TV TV first. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:20 And it wasn't until like a year later that it came out to Netflix. Okay. And basically, at that point, I'd forgotten the whole story. Right. So I need to watch it again and then through the season that finally came out on Netflix. I see, I see. Well, James being so into it, it's kind of encouraged me.
Starting point is 00:02:40 I don't have a series at the moment, aside from The Mandalorian, which we might talk about in a soap, but... It's really well made. It's super... The production is crazy. Yeah, it's so good. And the music, and it's so good. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And I'm absolutely loving it. So if you want to show that it's quite short, and sucks you in I'd recommend it it's quite good it's really unique in its setting and it's worth picking up
Starting point is 00:03:04 and Killian Murphy is awesome oh yeah he's just the main draw is him he's so good in it yeah it's intense
Starting point is 00:03:12 love it yeah so the Mandalorian we might as well quickly mention at the time of us recording this we've seen
Starting point is 00:03:20 three episodes and it's the most like it's the most Star Wars feeling thing I've seen since Star Wars
Starting point is 00:03:33 Since like anything From when I was a kid basically Yeah It's got such a like Saturday morning cartoon feel But in the right way To me Yeah it's weird that
Starting point is 00:03:45 It has that feeling But also the actual Overracking plot so far Has been really intriguing Yeah But it's always like Kind of a bit bad in a way but that's always what Star Wars has been
Starting point is 00:03:59 so it's like perfect in that way it's like serially over the top silly dialogue silly monsters silly story but it just I don't know there's something about it really works
Starting point is 00:04:10 and it's just fucking cool because it's just like this Western this weird space Western I'm a real sucker for Westerns so this is right at my own yeah apart from actually it's kind of a spoiler so I won't say
Starting point is 00:04:23 there's your bit here and there that's like that was just shit that was bad Yeah, like every time they do something cool, they kind of ruin it a little bit. But in that, in that way that's like, yeah, that's the way Star Wars has always sort of done it. I've heard good things about it. And that baby Yoda thing. What a good decision. That fucking monster is.
Starting point is 00:04:49 That might be the best dibby. I put it out there, it might be the best divy. That baby Yoda thing. I'm sorry, but that might be the best one. challenge me right what's a better what's a better small creature thing from media i can't think of a better one than that baby yoda thing fizzgig it's better than fizzgib because it has such an integral element to like the development of the main character in a like really natural way is it truly a dibby then yeah because like in valerian for example the hit film valerian that
Starting point is 00:05:22 dibby is a plot device there's no on the warfare front that is dibbies there is no defeating you yeah Alex is just a divvy expert it's like you've got to really get your knowledge
Starting point is 00:05:34 you just can't compete like a divvy master's degree yeah that's the main thing at the moment I can't really think of anything else um the Star Wars game oh damn yeah yeah I felt like I've been so down on Star Wars in my mind lately
Starting point is 00:05:53 just because of the onslaught I hate talking about it honestly but with the Mandalorian and was it Star Wars Jedi Fall in Order silly name but awesome game it's this awesome
Starting point is 00:06:09 combination of all these elements that I like I really like those modern Tomb Raider games it takes all the best things from that it takes the kind of gameplay from Sekaro kind of makes it a lot easier to digest to someone who's new to that kind of formula with of course the Star Wars world it even takes like elements of the clone wars and the prequels and makes them cool somehow which I cannot believe because I can't stand
Starting point is 00:06:37 the prequel shit but when it's in that game it just works for some reason it takes there's a bit of like all of my favorite kind of game franchises in there like all the Metrovania kind of stuff Awesome game I can't believe like ReSpawn is one of the most talented developers around at the moment I think everything they do is golden
Starting point is 00:06:57 Was this the project that Reespawn would put to post Titanfall 2 Was this their main thing Was this like their B team type deal? I think they have a couple teams going Of course they made Apex Which is a huge success And yeah
Starting point is 00:07:10 Jedi Fallen Order They do have talent Yeah no doubt There's so much they're the minds behind the original monomorphic games aren't they they are i think they're just really good at game design they just get it they get what what it takes to make a game really challenging and intriguing um as well as balancing like what i really like about it more than anything is the way the story is so um integral to like the game design
Starting point is 00:07:47 and the game design reinforces the story and the story reinforces the game design type thing which I think's really clever It's really weird to look at Because like the whole style, the whole engine It's like you associate that look with dice You know, a dice engine All of that battlefuss made the unreal engine
Starting point is 00:08:03 It's not frostbite It's like the first It looks super frostbite eb It does, I know what you mean It's like it's what dice doesn't have Because it looks incredible It actually has guff Not guff. It has meat. There's something there.
Starting point is 00:08:20 In saying that, though, I do think the game probably could have used about six months more, like, polish. But aside from that, it's probably due to, like, this time frame where there's not many games coming out. Yeah, it probably had to be released in this quarter just for EA stockholder reasons, but whatever. I'd recommend it if you like that kind of thing. But that being said, you've also played a little bit of Secura. Yeah, because it's sort of Black Friday. The sales have sort of begun. I picked up Sekido.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And, yeah, I haven't played much, but I did really enjoy what I've played so far. Awesome game. Game of the year. Yeah, I don't think anyone really disagree with you. I don't know if it's particularly been that great of a year, especially coming off last year, which had some, like, Red Dead 2, got a war, Spider-Man. You had some real, like, really obvious choices.
Starting point is 00:09:17 this year has been much more like fresh stuff yeah it's like underplayed like uh games like control and you know what I mean is it like control didn't didn't smack the same way that like Spider-Man did you know no but I mean like the the good games that have come out this year have been
Starting point is 00:09:40 very just fresh you know like Spider-Man isn't a a unique concept yeah but control is death stranding is secure it's kind of been the year of um rejigging things that have worked
Starting point is 00:09:58 in the past like secaro is a new interpretation of that soul's formula but in a new skin and new kind of you know interpretation fallen order is a new it's like all the best triple a games from the last five years like
Starting point is 00:10:13 combined together outer worlds is a Fallout game in the true sense for the people that actually want that kind of stuff because I've been messing around a bit more and that game was really enjoying it you were testing how yeah Jim and I were just messing around
Starting point is 00:10:27 with the game just testing to see how open it truly was and like what we were doing like in any typical game would just completely break it but it just let you do whatever you wanted we were just killing like major characters yeah you know the first um like
Starting point is 00:10:43 partner you can get yeah just went up the elevator to where you first meet her. Doors open, machine come out, just killed everyone in the room, including her. And then the game's like, right, just go to the next bit. That's so cool to me because I just, I respect so much, like, just the amount of work that must have gone into making that amount of choice possible. And if you think that game is like a very much more concentrated New Vegas.
Starting point is 00:11:15 So you think you can do all that in that? Like, do you get why so many people love New Vegas? Yeah. Because it's so much more open than that. Yeah. Still haven't actually got any further than Outer Worlds. I haven't not played it at all. It's a busy time a year, to be fair.
Starting point is 00:11:32 But I'm going to play it this week because I've got some time off, which has never happened. Can I have some time? I've going to play it. Can I have some fun? Well, speaking of games we've been playing, I've been playing Death Stranding. you're the only one who's played it yeah but what do you think
Starting point is 00:11:48 it's kind of the best game I've ever played shut on it what is it um you know elite dangerous one of the most
Starting point is 00:12:01 mind numbingly boring games I've ever played but instead of being in a spaceship you're just walking yeah that sounds fucking terrible I don't know like I've
Starting point is 00:12:14 never really liked the Kajima thing really I've loved that like he wears his inspiration on his sleeve big time he like
Starting point is 00:12:24 he is like no subtlety to a lot of the dialogue and everything but there's something about that game that's just so alluring to me
Starting point is 00:12:33 yeah I don't know what it is but it's just like the idea it's like one of the oldest games of all time was what's it called um
Starting point is 00:12:40 the one where you're like tracking across America I know what one you're about Oregon Trails Oregon Trails yeah that game it's like that but sci-fi
Starting point is 00:12:52 and modern game design you haven't got that far though have you probably 10 hours in right which is like a 20th of the whole game it does look very visually visually impressive though it looks like a really beautiful game yeah it definitely is but it's it's just like there's something so satisfying
Starting point is 00:13:17 about like there are these bat the the human enemies in the game are like people that just want loot and you're a guy walking around with a backpack with like 70 suitcases on it so these guys come like dribble when they see you yeah and you like really slowly waddle up to them and just like smack them in the face or or if you're holding like one of your thingies you can just launch it at them and knock them out. It's just creative and funny. Doubt I'll have a player, though. I wouldn't recommend it to you by any means.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And I don't think I'd really recommend it to anyone. It's just... That's what's so funny about it. Yeah, it's just like someone's vision. Like, someone's dumbass vision. But only he could get away with. Yeah. I was thinking about that.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Like, you go into a... into a boardroom to pitch this like game idea you have if anyone but Hideo Kijima tried to pitch Jeff Stranding they'd be like and then somehow he's got like monster energy fucking looped into that as well just fucking strange because he didn't have to pitch it to anyone he just was like right and I'm doing this now he was saying he was like oh you want like loads of money to just do whatever you want and he was right then what do you think about this like thing where he's saying that he wants to like make movies do you hear about this oh god they want to like make movies at that
Starting point is 00:14:46 studio now i sort of understand it he clearly is very passionate about cinema but at the same time he goes so in depth with mechanics yeah to me that's always been a skill is the yeah like why waste that like you've got a good thing going here don't make some like schlocky-ass stupid badly written movies yeah because that just look really good Yeah, because you would, you would just piss people off if you just try and tell a story without the, like, really awesome mechanical things that he, he's so intricate in the way he, like, adds all this, like, bizarre detail to, yeah, just the options you're able to, like, discover, like, you know, just tinkering with his games, like, you're usually rewarded with some, like, bizarre, yeah, little cutscene or a little Easter egg or something. I don't know why, yeah, why he'd want to. to move away from that. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Yeah, you can do what you want, whatever. But, I mean, all the cutscenes in his video games are actually incredible. Like, the one they showed from Death Stranding, I don't know if you remember. It's where they first showed the, like, beeping shoulder thing. Like, backpack robot arm thing. Yeah. And that cutscene is actually just so striking. And when the guy is, like, being pulled into the sky by.
Starting point is 00:16:09 ghost and he's like stabbing himself to try and die before they kill him it's just like that's why I think that's why people love it so much it's just the like conceptual imagery of it all is quite like you want to understand it yeah and he explains everything so in depth that you will understand it yeah yeah I think it's a game that I'm gonna look at look at it through YouTube I'm not gonna play it I'm just gonna look at some of the bits right yeah it's wacky yeah it's kind of cool though that like something that wacky is able to exist you know and not just all be cod modern warfare whatever the fuck rich i kind of want i'm not gonna deny i'm in the mood for some good old-fashioned cod
Starting point is 00:16:57 you know the like vehicles in death stranding um speaking of vehicles I just want to talk about this we've got to talk about it the cyber truck so for those who don't know Tesla massive world leader in electric vehicles you know absolutely huge everyone should know them
Starting point is 00:17:22 they recently unveiled their new cyber truck which is it's basically a fucking vehicle from cyberpunk 2044 or whatever it's a pickup truck it genuinely looks straight out of a sci-fi movie
Starting point is 00:17:37 It looks, yeah, it looks like something out of Blade Runner. And that's what he said, his inspiration was just, it's going to look like something out of Blade Runner. And he's delivered. It genuinely does. But there's a lot of salty people out there about this. People are losing their minds because they think this looks terrible. I'm not going to fucking say it.
Starting point is 00:18:01 It almost looks like, it really reminds me of the vehicle design from aliens. as well yeah they're not quite as angular in aliens but that that kind of blocky yeah it's a big vehicle it's chunky it's large um it's got real angles to it it just looks like it's been designed for use and nothing yeah like just practicality yeah uh i've i think it's awesome it does it looks badass fucking cool imagine driving down your street and you're like really old like Citro or not ever and that fucking thing comes part of it's
Starting point is 00:18:38 I can't wait to see these things driving around because everyone's going to look at them yeah this is the thing like it's so different from everything ever from every vehicle that's been on the road ever
Starting point is 00:18:50 it doesn't matter if you've got like a you know one of those super like two million pound super supercars a cyber truck's gonna get more attention than you don't you think it's fascinating though where it's like yeah things like aliens and Blade Runner
Starting point is 00:19:02 exist like conceptually and that always set in the future but we're at we're actually at a point now where these companies are designing vehicles that actually look and function the way they kind of do in those universes we're like going in that direction as like a result of that kind of fiction it's crazy to me an electric vehicle that looks like that and actually works and you can buy it and it's not millions upon millions of dollars it's what 40,000 dollars or something it's 39,000 dollars and just crazy if you if you consider this is like
Starting point is 00:19:42 a it's like a work course it's to like pull things it's to carry things it's supposed to be fully functional how many seats is it's like seven seats what yeah six or seven seats yeah Jesus and you think it's a big thing in american culture they have these massive huge trucks and this fucking electric thing will just put them all to shame because it's all electric it's power instantly. I didn't hear what it's not to 60 was, but I'm sure it's stupid. For a pickup, it's going to be insane. Yeah, no doubt about it.
Starting point is 00:20:14 It makes my car, it's going to make my new car look like a joke, quite literally. But everyone hates the design. All the car people. It's one of those, like, controversial things. I feel like it's kind of split down the middle where it's one of those that's either really going to connect with you or it's just going to be like, that's just stupid kind of thing. But then people cannot criticize the cyber truck when shit exists like the citron cactus. Unbelievable fucking...
Starting point is 00:20:46 Is that seriously the name of a car? The citron cactus? It's the one with the plastic doors. Oh, is it? The plastic on the doors. I didn't realize that it's such a bad name. Citrin cactus. Just don't care what you do, go on Google Images and just look at the first fucking image.
Starting point is 00:21:04 You'll understand that it is the shittiest looking car ever fucking made and people are complaining about the side. Yeah. Because I was thinking about that and correct me if I'm wrong, James, because you're the car expert on the cast. But what is the defining, like, car design of the last kind of 20 years? Because there is a really distinct style to, you know, 70s, 80s vehicles. And we were at this weird point where,
Starting point is 00:21:34 there is this strange uniformity you know it's it's obviously car design is very difficult kind of look into it's not simple but if I had to say it's plastic
Starting point is 00:21:47 it's like everything has to be like this moulded plastic around the arches around the bumpers it's just like this cheap plasticy look yeah and it's like you've got to protect
Starting point is 00:21:58 the doors because people smash them open and all that and it's just it's about like practicality more than design statement, really. I guess that's what's so controversial about the cyber truck, is that it's like a statement vehicle, you know? Like, you can't, you can't not associate that. You know exactly what it is when you see it. Like, it's so striking. Yeah. Compared to whatever, like, a citron fucking cactus or whatever. It's a form of art. Yeah. It's so cool to me that, like, just something like that is just unveiled. And you just buy it as a product. And it works. And of buying next year, and of buying, 150,000 people already pre-ordered it.
Starting point is 00:22:43 It's so cool, though, because, like, even in our, like, middle of nowhere town, you see Tesla's everywhere. Yeah. There's, like, three around our area, let alone the amount of BMW, I freeze. And then the closer you get to cities, the more and more you see I went to London recently. I saw countless Tesla's. They're just so popular. And it's like, I will say, I'll say right now, I'm kind of iffy on Tesla's. Give me $35, $39,000, I'm peering as to Tesla truck.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Because that shit looks fucking, I want it. I want it. And it's like made out of steel. Like, it's just, ugh, it's just a cool, like. You can get out that car dressed in black with sunglasses on and look fucking cool. That's, that's it. Nothing else matters. Yeah, what do you think about the design, Jim?
Starting point is 00:23:35 I like it. Really? Yeah. It's so striking to me. Like I said, it's like a piece of art. It's emotional. It looks sharp. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I'd buy one. I'm gonna buy one. Jarm Media all alone in Cybertrust. If a car like that is releasing for about $40,000, in 20 years time like what kind of crazy vehicles are we going to be able to buy just realistically you know
Starting point is 00:24:08 it's a crazy world that we live in Alex you've been thinking about you know getting rid of your BMW is this the perfect is this the perfect time is this it? I would love one of those
Starting point is 00:24:22 but I feel like I would just I don't know would even fit in my dry I was going to ask is it genuinely called the cyber truck. Yes, the cyber truck.
Starting point is 00:24:32 The Tesla's the cyber truck. That makes it so much better. It's just totally embracing what it is. Yeah. I love it. Do you know what type of person was doing that? Someone with a beard. Oh, with beard.
Starting point is 00:24:49 So, a few weeks ago, a few, four weeks ago, almost a month ago. Start on November at least. We said, or I said, I agreed to grow out this. beard and we're now coming to the end of November yeah
Starting point is 00:25:04 got five days left at the time recording this and so what do we do Alex did later in the month join this quest for beard I haven't shaved this whole month
Starting point is 00:25:17 I haven't even touched it I've not trimmed it I've left it just pure no but I've been taken care of it I've been oiling up been combing it yeah because Jim and I knew
Starting point is 00:25:28 that Out of everyone on jar, you have the greatest capacity to grow a beard. No question about it. Not a doubt in my mind. I've tried my best, but my attempts are pitiful in comparison. I haven't even tried it. It's just, fucking... It's just gone on, you know?
Starting point is 00:25:43 Maybe if I got some, like, charcoal and put it on my face, you'd be able to see the hairs, but they're all white. Die your facial hair. What color should I dye it purple? Yeah, like blue. Bright blue. Yeah, neon. Star Wars monster.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Yeah. So, moving forward, what do the JAR fans think should happen to this beard? They're going to say keep it. Give them a good, like, move the mic away and give them a good, like, move your head around all angles and show them. Because all the comments from the cast that went up last were like, okay, that, yeah. Yeah, everyone's in agreement. The beard is... It's come out better than I expected.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Because it's not super long and bushy. It's just kind of... There. It's snake-like. Solid snake-like. So, and I kind of... I do like it now. When I had bushy hair at the top,
Starting point is 00:26:46 it was just like, okay, it needs a bit of work. But since I've cut my hair, it's just like, it works. It's a full package now. And it's good in winter too, because it keeps your face of warm. It generally does actually keep my face warm,
Starting point is 00:26:57 which is really nice. What do you think? those people that have the like huge Santa beards they must be so warm all the time yeah it must be incredible it must be horrible in summer yeah that's it that's the breaking point is when I get to someone to be like my face is sweaty yeah
Starting point is 00:27:10 whereas I'm torn whereas like when December rolls around if I should just shave it away or not so I guess we'll give the vote to tell us in the comments if you're listening on iTunes or whatever
Starting point is 00:27:26 pop over to the YouTube video and have a look at James is James's face and tell us what you think Yeah tell me Tell me where we should go of this Don't tell me what you think of Uh of me though
Starting point is 00:27:37 Cause I don't care I actually really care So And maybe I will let that influence If I keep the beard Or if I go If I go baby face again So what happens
Starting point is 00:27:53 Uh James dropped his phone and poo Ha ha ha ha ha No, I didn't drop it in poo. I was sitting there, I went to the toilet. Did a poo and then drop your phone in it. Okay, I did a poo in the toilet. I was wearing overall, so my trial, I pulled them down.
Starting point is 00:28:12 They were really baggy. My phone was in the pocket. I'd done my business. I stood up and quickly turned around to look at the mirror. And then I heard this massive, like, metaly clang. And I kind of didn't even think about it. Because I thought it would just be like something, a bit of the metal button, metal buttons hitting on the toilet or something. So it's in a minute, then I kind of just look down.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And in the toilet, standing vertically up, was my phone. In the toilet, in the shit. Embedded into the poo-poo. And it wasn't just like, you know, touching it was like the water was up to there. It was like pretty much completely covering my phone. And I was like, oh shit, I'm like, I broke my phone. I picked it up with poo, cleaned it off. Am we?
Starting point is 00:29:05 And it's been fine ever since. You know, when these people say that, you know, getting your phone work's going to break it. Well, my shit didn't break my phone. It sounds like a shitty situation. And with that said, we'll be back after some of these. We'll be back after some of these. We're back after Summody's.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Dick the head shirts available now. Check in a description. This dog, for those listening, this corgi just climbs all over me and treats me like dirt. He's got something against me. I think he's got something against us. It's people with JET in the name. Yeah. Defo. well yeah he's a little angry creature good afternoon morning evening or night you did a james you introduced it in the second half you can't not now that james james always
Starting point is 00:30:10 make something a thing and then it's a thing so you can't not do it we will change order suddenly all in a different place it's kind of cute though it's a metaphor it's a metaphor um for the second half of the jar cast where uh we answer questions from those of you on Reddit if you'd like to leave a question of your own head over to the JAR Media Reddit and smack that like button it's actually called an up vote or a down vote on Reddit what is Reddit no one knows it's kind of this like is it on the dark web it's one of those yes so so surely we should be telling our fans to um use Tor to get to the dark web getting to all edit, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Don't do that. Yeah, don't do that. Don't. Just go to our edit. You don't know what dangers you might find on the dark web. Yes, you might be kidnapped and... You might find an unfriended on there. You might find an unfriended. Alexander Wagner's going to start us off this week with a question asking,
Starting point is 00:31:20 which Madagascar characters are the current UK major party leaders? I only know two of the major party leaders. Yeah, I only know two of them. Yeah, I only know two of them. Billy Clinton and Donald Trump, right? No, it's... So for anyone outside of the UK, our current Prime Minister is called Boris Johnson,
Starting point is 00:31:40 who's like a fucking Wallace and Gromack character, and he's the most like... Ooh, oh, fuck, um, mm. Who's he from Madagascar? One of the penguins. Yeah, he's the lead penguin. What's the lead penguin called? Skipper.
Starting point is 00:31:57 He's skipper. Boris Johnson is skipper. That's not skipper. No, he is, right? Because they're like... They're like... They're like really... Conservative.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, they're conservative creatures. Within Madagascar 2, there's... I think it's Madagascar 2. There's this whole plot line with them, like, being really against the apes unionising. Yeah. So... Yeah, they hate communists.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Yeah. So I think that's... fair. So then Jeremy Corbyn is one of the Ibs. Is the liberal um yeah leader at the moment.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Liberal. So he's Labor. Yeah. Same thing. Labor labor is liberal. Left leaning basically. Jeremy Corbyn is he's Melbourne. You see I thought
Starting point is 00:32:55 he's he's more Marty to me. why Marty explain Marty cares about the people Marty doesn't give a shit about the people no but you think he does Alex cares about the people you think Marty
Starting point is 00:33:12 Alex doesn't care about the people Alex cares about himself no I think Jeremy Corbyn I'm with James I think he's way more Alex than Marty personally how he cares about the people yeah Alex doesn't care about the people
Starting point is 00:33:26 He cares about putting a show on for the people, which is caring for the people. Yeah. He's all about giving a performance. How the fuck is Marty, Jeremy Corbyn? Explain. How? I'm wrong. Yeah, see?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah, I realized Marty is all about freedom and Jeremy Corbyn hates freedom. Yeah, so, and that's kind of all the leaders that matter. who else is this even well no one else is the green party greenie greenie old greenie greener greener greenie I'd vote for greener greener greenie who is mort
Starting point is 00:34:08 the green party's mort yeah the green party's mort and the Lib Dems are private yeah they're either private or their um Sasha Barron Cohen's um like right hand no because he's too like confident and like he actually was
Starting point is 00:34:26 king. No, no, no, I'm saying not Sasha Bancoran himself, but his right-hand man. Oh, that guy, yeah. That's... Yeah. No, but that means conservatives would have to be King Julian. That's funny. That works. But it doesn't work, though, because King Julian's like
Starting point is 00:34:44 a... He's a dictator. So, isn't he more Jeremy Corbyn then? Yeah. Oh, fuck. Which means the Green Party is actually the sidekick to King Junior. Oh, that actually works so much better so yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:01 No, we've sold it. It's at the election is just pick your favorite fucking money as well. Richard the Head has on for us. Are there any jar episodes slash moments where you find yourself extremely embarrassing or annoying in retrospect?
Starting point is 00:35:20 All of them. Most of them. I was actually thinking about this the other day I think I had a dream about it or something where I was like well it all stemmed from I was I got a
Starting point is 00:35:39 I got a peddle it back even more I went to the Jewish film festival recently to see Jojo Rabbit and I talked to someone there and I told them about the jarcast and I was thinking about some of the horrendous shit I've said and I was like would I be embarrassed
Starting point is 00:35:56 if this person heard that you're probably never going to meet them again well that's why I wasn't like traumatized by it yeah by it or whatever but um
Starting point is 00:36:08 embarrassed no no the answer is no extremely embarrassing or annoying I was just annoying not embarrassing or not I'm sure if I listen to like really old episodes
Starting point is 00:36:25 there'd be things things are like, I really don't feel that way anymore. I really don't agree with that anymore. But that doesn't... That's gross. It's not embarrassing or annoying, though, too. No, exactly. It's only annoying if people go back, watch an episode, and then they're like,
Starting point is 00:36:41 um, you said this, uh, four years ago. Which it has been, did you know? Yeah. It's like, yeah, but I'm not that person. I wouldn't, I wouldn't judge anyone for finding, like, a really old episode, annoying, though, in saying... No, no, I'm just saying if somebody wants to criticize you for an opinion you had.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Mm-hmm. Or saying some disturbing thing that I might have said in an old episode that I can't remember saying. That I would have just said just to be extreme and... In a funny troll way. Yeah. Yeah. We've all done that.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Because people quote things that I've said like on this show and I'm like, I just... I have no memory of saying that. I barely have any memory full stop, let alone what I said last episode, let alone what I said 100 episodes. When we met today, we were talking about the previous episode
Starting point is 00:37:36 and we were like, did we say this? Did we even talk about this subject? Did this happen? It's like, we don't even remember what we talked about. We don't know what we're on about. No, we have no clue what's even happening.
Starting point is 00:37:50 We turn on the camera. We're like robots. We only exist in front of the camera. And we're just like, turned off. Yeah, we like power down until the next week. Yeah. Unless there's like a cringy nostalgia critic video that comes out and then we power up.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Yeah. We got to find the cringy. Emergency mode. Do you know, but you know what's insane? Good way. Great about that, though. It's just because the way our routine is now and there's quite a bit of time before the episode goes live for people, I would have forget everything we talked about.
Starting point is 00:38:22 It's like recently I watched the fucking two episodes and I was fucking. sitting there, giggling so much over the tovich, because I just forgot on even if I can happen. You've had some good episodes lately, I'm not going to lie. There have been so good ones. There's a lot of pressure to live up to. Yeah, so on episodes like this, we just sort of have to say, well, this is it. For some reason, one of the questions that it was asked is, um, we don't have to answer this,
Starting point is 00:38:52 but the question is from Sebastian. Del Tova, who just says, what's James, no, James, Apostrophe S, James, not James, but James, J-A-M-E, apostrophe S. I think that's actually allowed. But who does that mean? Jameses. Really? Yeah. It's a possessive S.
Starting point is 00:39:20 James's. No, because James, no, if his name was, I think it actually is grammatically correct but people rarely use it like that actually no I think I'm wrong I think they've made a mistake yeah because James's name is James I'm thinking of J-A-M-E-S
Starting point is 00:39:40 Apostrophe S Jameses No but that's not what they wrote they wrote J-A-M-E It's just that that sounds wrong but it is actually grammatically correct But we have two cast members who have J-A-M and then so on and something Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Just read the... The question is just... It's bullshit. It's just what... What's James's... Favorite sexual position? That's it. I'll answer for James and James can answer for me.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Okay. This shows how much you know me, okay? Yes. You've got to get it white. 69. 69. And James for Jame? Jane for Jame?
Starting point is 00:40:28 Jane for Jame. Jane for Jame. Toggy style. We got mine white. That's one or two. Blue Crabbs is one for us. Any plans for a live Jowcast? The answer is no.
Starting point is 00:40:47 We haven't planned anything. No. I'm not averse to the idea. Well, there could be a disaster. It would be more than a disaster. I think it would be a disaster. But why, though? Because I...
Starting point is 00:40:58 Very rarely do I have to edit out us, like, fucking up and something? No, no, I'm... Wait, do they mean live as in, like, on stream? Yeah. Like, streaming it. That would be fine, yeah. I thought they meant, like, going to a comedy club and... Oh, setting up a jazz set and doing it live.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Would you be averse to that? No, oh, I'll do it live. On a stage with, um... I'd be scared. Yeah, I'd be... I'd be scared. Without a doubt. That's what this is for.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Yeah, exactly. I'd have to get so fucked up that I would say something fucked up. Yeah. That's the problem. Yeah. But then it would be funny. At the very least. True.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Might ruin, like, your life, but it'd be funny. My legacy. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Dig the head has a question for us. Have you guys ever thought about scheduling a jar video to upload in 10 slash 20 slash 30 years to either just shit post or act as a time capsule for the channel? What I was vibing just then. That's kind of a funny idea. I've thought about that before. About having a video set as far, because you can schedule videos if you don't know on YouTube for like points in the future.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I had this idea to like have a video prepared and uploaded but keep putting it as far as you can into the future based on the like schedule like what it lets you do so then on the off chance that I died then suddenly like years in the future this video would be uploaded on the channel
Starting point is 00:42:45 we could make it super creepy as well yeah make it like really creepy pasta disturbing yeah start this whole thing no what but what if though you did that and then like there was a nuclear war and then that video gets uploaded way in the future after the nuclear war it's like people in their bunkers waiting to hear something yeah and the first thing to be uploaded since the nuclear war is like the jar fucking oh yeah what if like our shippost video that gets uploaded 40 years in the future is it's the next bible it's the next
Starting point is 00:43:20 Franz Ferdinand. It like starts the next load. Somehow through whatever we did in that video. Oops. Starts like a world war. Ugh. Gersmo 7 has one for us.
Starting point is 00:43:38 This might have already been asked before, but can we get a tour of all the weird items in the cast room and stories behind them? In episode 110, there is a close-up of a weird science man and a Yu-Gi-Giocan, which makes me think there are many things scattered around we haven't seen that what fucking science man is it yeah what's it oh wait the science man the one that's holding
Starting point is 00:44:00 hands with megan fox oh yes up there no that's still there and the yu go cards next to it yeah the reason i have the yuio card there because it says caribo and it's not yeah it's a caribbo yugo card but it's like miss a misprint so that was always funny to me yeah we got all sorts around here that have like a story towards them there's all sorts of little details and dibbies riko dave brian some of them i want to keep a secret honestly some of them there is no secret to keep though like there's just there's nothing to it face value it's just what they are they are what they are like this what is that i don't know you have a look for those listening it's like a
Starting point is 00:44:49 it's a monster it's an item it's an item it is an item it's weird because I haven't been involved in any of this stuff like being put on the walls I like came in my day
Starting point is 00:45:02 and they were there so I honestly have no fucking clue about the mind to be honest the best one is the is the Nick is the poster of Nick from a Hunt Down the Freeman who hopefully all be starring
Starting point is 00:45:16 in the new half-flux Half-Life Alex? Half-life Alex? Half-life Alex? I might have signed an NDA to say, I'm not involved, but Can you imagine
Starting point is 00:45:30 if Valve actually, like, I got an email and they're like, look, we respect you and we really want you in our new... We want you in the... Gabe Newell himself. Cool to you. Rico, Dave, Brian.
Starting point is 00:45:47 The best job thing. is up there. Nobody's ever going to see. Yeah. The best. James, we have a question for you from the blimp fruit. Yes, shoot.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Are you still scared of stickers and if so, have you had any run-ins with them recently? Of course, I'm still scared of fucking stickers. So for those who don't know, James is scared of stickers?
Starting point is 00:46:12 No, I'm not scared. I generally have a sticker phobia. It's a real thing. And I have it. I don't know if we talked about it like in depth before, but what a trying, try and describe what it is about stickers that disturbs you so deeply. I don't know, but as soon as I see them there near me, I feel violated and I feel like something's wrong. Like I can't be there. So, look, imagine I have a sticker on my arm. What goes through your mind?
Starting point is 00:46:44 Hell, I just, I want to, I want to run away. I feel sick. physically sick from it I can't take my mind off it it's just like I'm so what kind of so so say I get like a kiddie magazine and it has like a bunch of stickers like Moomin stickers or whatever that is like the most disturbing thing to you yes yes so generally I can't is it something to do with the like adhesive like sticking to you yeah and it's like what do kids do with stickers they stick them in random places that just I can't I can't do it. It just fuck, it freaks me out. I can't. I don't understand. It's like there's been times where it's just like, you know, you know, on like
Starting point is 00:47:32 Pink Lady Apples, there's a little sticker. Yeah, yeah, a little circle thing. Yeah. So, back in your day, my family should just stick them on like the side of the fridge and it's just like, I'd walk past and just freak out every time I saw it to the point where I'd have to like put gloves on, cover my eyes, pick it off.
Starting point is 00:47:48 and then put it in the bin so I don't have to see it anymore. Are you serious? Yes. So you put gloves on? I don't like it. I just don't like stickers. I can't explain. But that means, so is it something to do with the adhesive?
Starting point is 00:48:01 Yeah, I guess so. The sticky aspects of it because why it's okay if you put gloves on and that made it so you were able to touch it as if it was like toxic or would leave something on you. I don't know. I don't know. And I have not experienced stickers recently. I've been separated from stickers but there's a bloody Nissan mic down my road that's been sticker bombed in those stickers
Starting point is 00:48:22 and it freaks me out whenever I drive them. Yeah, does that mean you hate like those flame stickers that people bought in their cars? I just had a memory. For one Christmas I bought James a car sticker like a troll-faced car sticker or a Pepe the Frog.
Starting point is 00:48:37 A Pepe the Frog fucking car sticker. Did that not find you? At that point I had no idea that James had this sticker phobia. I feel really bad now It's fine Were you scared of it Or is this
Starting point is 00:48:51 Does the sticker only become frightening Once it's been peeled off the back If it's been stuck It's just like that's a problem Is there something about the permanence And the way it leaves that horrible mark Oh that pisses me off That pisses me off too
Starting point is 00:49:03 There's one on the back of your own car I actually cleaned it off Oh thank fuck Yeah I got rid of it I can't do stickers Just don't Like the time my parents thought It would be funny
Starting point is 00:49:13 to stick upon my room I was finding stickers under my desk stuck on there like years later because they thought it was funny and I couldn't go in the room Yeah they were horse stickers as well I was just completely freaked out Don't buy me stickers
Starting point is 00:49:31 I can't do it I'm sorry That one sticking you for me is fine I still have it Tofu Cringe 29 has a question for us Are you Mingers planning on making any more album
Starting point is 00:49:45 review type videos like you did with the Now Now and Kanye possibly one on the latest MacDemarco album even though it was a bit of a dud definitely not one on that album because I refuse to sit through it. It's too old as well it's not even relevant to talk about particularly. Yeah but it also sucks
Starting point is 00:50:03 that's not very good no. I think with how our more focused videos are going we don't try to go into them super planned it's like if we consume like we did the nostalgia good video we will make it it's just what feels just more of the discussion yeah but it does have to be relevant that's why we don't tend to do games yeah
Starting point is 00:50:25 because like it takes so long to finish especially considering we all work yeah it's so yeah for a hundred percent sure we'll be doing another album one but it's just like whatever is we feel passionate about at the time is what we make about so it's like jesus is king we all had very strong opinions on it that's why we made it so in the future if there's an other album from Kanye or you know someone else
Starting point is 00:50:51 then yeah we will JG yeah so yeah that the more focused content is happening that's a thing to look forward to on our channel that is a more regular thing now so yes but it might not be on the albums it might be on
Starting point is 00:51:07 movies just whatever we feel like YouTubers whatever yeah basically be on that We on that kind? Whenever we can, we can't get out. Here's an interesting question from Keanu memes, who asks. I don't know if you've been asked about tattoos before, but I was thinking about getting a jar-related one. What would each member suggest getting for themselves that relates to jar cast if they're forced to pick at gunpoint? If I think an answer is good enough, an all-new brain parisine will be soon to come.
Starting point is 00:51:41 that's the obvious answer is the frame of Brian getting hit by the car I don't feel like that's personal enough to jar for it to be a jar one but it's so funny that it is worth it I will straight up say this is a bad idea don't get jar tattooed on you I disagree I'm two out of three jar members say
Starting point is 00:52:04 and who's the voice of wisdom in jar it's me don't do it get a tattoo of Nick from um half life get a full portrait one on your back or your neck here's the thing like
Starting point is 00:52:21 like I'm not a tattoo person but I kind of wish I was like there's something kind of cool about marking things that are really important yeah like body and no I was just thinking RICO Dave Brian mm that's solid RICO RICO Dave Brian
Starting point is 00:52:38 or Dick the head obviously something like that yeah Dick the head is the obvious one. Shweb, Deep-cut one. We've... I think we've talked about tattoos before
Starting point is 00:52:45 and we know my opinions on tattoos. I'm not confident enough and I feel like I'm just far too white. I don't know what it is about that aspect that just...
Starting point is 00:52:56 White? Yeah. No, I'm just so white. I don't know. It just looked like it doesn't belong. I don't know what to tell you. That's racist.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Why is it racist? No, that's not implying that like I think tattooing. only look good on people who aren't white. Look, I could go into a whole thing about this, but... I'm not ripped either. That's...
Starting point is 00:53:23 I think tattoos suit anyone, to be honest. Do you? Like, because once you have a tattoo, you've displayed the confidence that you are willing to get a tattoo. Right. I understand what you're saying. that that gives you the like ego muscle that you need to have you need some sort of like bad assery to get attached it it's like a statement because you've committed to something that
Starting point is 00:53:54 is being permanently embodied on your skin yeah i yeah and i don't have that fortitude to decide on something that i care about enough to put on me permanently does that show a weakness in me perhaps perhaps it does maybe maybe it does maybe it doesn't if I had to have a tattoo I just wouldn't do one jar no it has to be jar that's the point of the question
Starting point is 00:54:24 but I can't think of any jar moments where they're so important like an icon like Shweb I think Shweb could be cool like on your wrist no that would no that would be Like a little schweb? That would look terrible.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Why? It would. But I have a weird thing with tattoos. I have a really, really weird thing with tattoos, and it kind of ties into the sticker thing. There's certain ones where I can't... They... I don't like them.
Starting point is 00:54:52 What would you think about me if I got a Poe from Kung Fu Panda under my eye? I think you're fucking idiot. Okay, what about if I got Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2 under my eye? Same. Nothing will change. we thought of a a cringy bro tattoo
Starting point is 00:55:11 like a matching tattoo for all three of us that was a Nando's chicken a couple of lads getting the Nando's chicken permanently inscribed onto their flesh Oh it's so fucked up
Starting point is 00:55:25 No because it's like Okay if I had to have the Nando's tattoo I'd have it like there So then it's because it would be by itself I wouldn't like it So I'd get a full sleeve It all works into the The Nando's chicken
Starting point is 00:55:37 And in the middle There's the Magnamotus. Would you have the Nando's chicken in colour or black and white? Black and white? Black and white?
Starting point is 00:55:46 Might have it in colour. You said you'd have it under your eye upside down so it looks like a tear but it's actually a Nando's chicken. That's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Tattoes are cool there. If you got balls get that Nando's chicken on you. On your balls. If it's like I really understand the really like art of tattooing like the really
Starting point is 00:56:10 complex stuff and I know I really like the yakuza stuff in Japan but I just I like the way they do it it's not with a gun there's something about that fucking wooden sticks and they're just dripping the ink in and they're cutting the skin of sticks and that's why they look so good there is like that so traditionally
Starting point is 00:56:27 like tribal aspect to it yeah like tribal tattoos are mocked but there is like a really cool especially like I really like certain like Maori or like some of the Australian
Starting point is 00:56:41 tattoos you can get like that's that's just cool that's cool like on the rock like some of the stuff he has it's like yeah it's very tribal
Starting point is 00:56:52 yeah it kind of works on him I don't know are you too white to get a tribal tattoo way too white those type of tattoos work when you're fucking like actually kind of ripped though
Starting point is 00:57:04 tribal look you need to be like you're gonna fuck some of it like redone when he grew more yes like his skin stretched so it sort of had spaces yeah where there wasn't ink so it had to be like colored in it's a potentiality that's all I'm going to say maybe I'll get a tattoo one day not sure maybe if the beard stays long enough it's like this is the fucking next step tattoo the beard on then you can shave and still have a beard. Fartnight 111 as a question we can probably end on.
Starting point is 00:57:42 They specify it for me, but it applies to gym as well at least. They ask, I know at a young age that you move from Australia to the UK. That's wrong. It's from New Zealand to the UK, but whatever. No. But did you ever have any thoughts? Jersey, UK?
Starting point is 00:58:00 No. Did you ever have any thoughts that your life might have been better in, let's say, New Zealand. And if you did, how did you stop them? Stop what? I don't know. I've thought about that a fair amount, though. I think I would be a happier person if I was.
Starting point is 00:58:18 I think I'd be a completely different person. Thanks. Thanks, guys. Fuck you. I think I would be a completely different person if I grew up in New Zealand. I would be different, and I'd probably be happier. I don't know why you'd get that bit from, but you'd be a different person. person for sure yeah and we'd be in completely different stages in our life probably
Starting point is 00:58:41 I reckon I'd be in a tribe we'd probably be like obsessed with rugby yeah and I'd like bury chickens in the hot ground yeah we'd just bury chickens in the hot ground and we get tattoos of the fucking Nando's chicken just constantly hey yeah hence me being happier that's my point yeah no did you know that's a a Kiwi with that said Thank you for Just say it I'm gonna put Sandy on the screen
Starting point is 00:59:10 Just tell me what you man No wait wait So let's just say Let's change our If we have the complete opposites Of our life now I think we still would have met Do you know why?
Starting point is 00:59:19 Australia I would have fucking like grew up in Australia Somehow our lives would have been the same But fucking in Australia Yeah you can't You can't defy fate man Fate's real So there's a key
Starting point is 00:59:34 delicacy where like they build a fire and get it really hot or something and then like put it in a hole so the ground is really hot and then they put a chicken in the hole and then just bury the chicken and then just leave it there for like
Starting point is 00:59:49 30 hours to cook in the hot ground. What so they don't kill it they put a life chicken? No no it's dead. It's just like meat that they bury in the ground and it cooks like that and then they eat it Sounds delicious
Starting point is 01:00:05 Hence me talking about burying chickens That actually does sound Delicious Do they put all like nice sort of spices on it I don't know Yeah they probably Plenty of They put a bit of
Starting point is 01:00:18 Powder on it And they just Yeah That shit right up Do you think they bury Kiwis Alive underground I hope they didn't eat
Starting point is 01:00:28 Keywees Oh I'm sure they would have Who wouldn't they're probably delicious I'd never eat a kiwi but I'm sure they are delicious I bet they taste so fucking good I saw one at the Natural History Museum and they're so they're the most they're one of the most adorable animals
Starting point is 01:00:45 they're pretty cute like they're one of these creatures where it's like what what is your purpose yeah it's like you have it so easy you have had it so easy yeah you're on this like island in the middle of nowhere with no predators no natural predators Yeah, you have just evolved to be shit. Yeah, like a panda where it's like, you're just this useless fucking animal that doesn't even want to be alive.
Starting point is 01:01:11 And like the only reason you're alive is because it's so easy to be alive for you. Dude, no, oh fuck, we've got to talk about koalas for a little second. Oh, no. What? You know, they're functionally extinct. What do you mean? Functionally extinct. And koalas, there's been a huge epidemic of forest fires in Australia.
Starting point is 01:01:36 What, and just killed loads of koalas? Loads of koalas have just burned to death. Like, the majority of the population of koalas. Are you serious? Yeah. There's like videos of people running into the forest to say koalas. I saw one of the videos of them of saving a koala, but I didn't realize it was that died. I read that they are functionally extinct.
Starting point is 01:01:57 That's messed up. the terminology. That's messed up. Basically, they're just going to fucking mate the last or many ones as much as possible to get them back.
Starting point is 01:02:04 They're a bizarre animal though, because... For Australia, yeah. They're dumb. They're moronic animals. Yeah, they are so stupid and that's why they... It's horrible to say,
Starting point is 01:02:18 but that's why so many died in the fire. They just physically couldn't escape because they're just shit. They're like trying to get out and they're just like... It's sad. it's really sad because they're really sweet things
Starting point is 01:02:33 but they couldn't get out of the fire they couldn't what is it they they can only eat one thing like pandas they can only eat one thing and like that one thing makes them high
Starting point is 01:02:51 it's like torture they've they've evolved to live this fucking like whole whole torture life and it makes them sleeping and tired so they just sleep for most of their life and they don't know what the fuck is going on how does that how has that existed this long in Australia it's like birds that just run around gutting people
