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...
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
love it
yeah
so the Mandalorian
we might as well
quickly mention
at the time of us
recording this
we've seen
three episodes
and
it's the most
like
it's the most
Star Wars feeling thing
I've seen since
Star Wars
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
never really liked
the Kajima thing
really
I've loved that
like he wears his
inspiration on his sleeve
big time
he like
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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...
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.
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...
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
these fucking tiny bears that just get baked all day
and sleep
and just shit's all over the place
yeah
funny story
we met koalas
I was like stroking a koala
and a picture was taken with me in this
koala and as I was
as the picture was taken
the koala decided to take a shit
so in the picture there's like
child me with a burnt hand
with my hand on this koala
and there's a shit half hanging out of its
ass and that really
pissed me off when I was a kid
they are super
cute though they're generally really cute
yeah they're big big noses
well
well well to end this all I say is
are we eat a kiwi if you know what I mean
what a kiwi fruit
no don't I ate a kiwi fruit
what do you mean delicious you're saying like you want to
lick a
woman from New Zealand
why the fuck did you say it like that
you want to lick a woman
from New Zealand
how would you say it
what's the
eloquent way of saying
I'd say wait what
you want to eat
you want to lick a woman
from New Zealand
that's what I'd say
that sounds even weird
to me
so if you're a woman
from New Zealand
who wants to be licked
hit up
James
and with that
that's the end
of the Jarcast
episode
1995
It's the beard.
What can I say?
