BOMBOM
BOM!
Oh, ha ha!
Mamma Mia!
Yes, we de.
All right, ready?
I was born, ready.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gents.
Welcome to episode 209 of the Apocalypse cast.
We are officially the Duma Gloomer with the Zuma Boomer.
The millennial, fenial cast.
I'm your host Alex, joined here by The Passionate Napa, James.
You know this is an audio show, right?
Hello, good afternoon, my name is James.
I am the Passionate Napa.
And I've got no funny nickname for Jim today, just Apocalypse Jim.
Yo, what's good in the hood?
I'm Apocalypse Rick.
I don't know, Apocalypse Jim.
We record this a few days early before it comes out, so we don't know what could have happened in the time frame between.
Yeah.
And with how escalating, you know, time has been recently, we don't know what was going to happen by Monday.
Yep.
That's exactly correct.
But before we go any deeper, the JARCast is made possible thanks to the patrons over at Patreon.
So thanks for the support.
trying times
bloody Nora
let's start this episode off with
addressing something from last episode
yeah let's do that yeah I'm very glad
you're going to do this actually so last
episode
I hate I hate doing this
don't have to do it but I hate doing it
explaining a joke that is
last episode because
if you don't know
I'm an Amazon Prime
no Amazon subscribe and save user
so I have certain products that I have delivered to me
periodically for a discount
I've been doing this for years
and it's just me living in this house
so I sometimes wind up with a with a
storage of a certain things
of certain products yeah be it
soap yeah I get like shower gel
and you know all the most boring shit you don't want to think about
having a buy
that includes toilet paper
so before we recorded last episode
I was like you know what
it would be a funny little gag
I got all this toilet paper stored up
let's just put it on the set
just for a little funny
little did we know
little did we know
it's pointless
over exaggerating
they were like two or three people
who got annoyed about this
who brought the wrath
of giants upon us
what do you mean
um
they they
they struck
they struck
they struck us at the core
they struck us down
yeah
they said how dare
thee of jar media
purchase
for a joke
I think they thought we went out for a joke
to get toilet paper
just for the sake of a meme in a video
but
it's worth mentioning
literally moments
into last episode we did mention that we went to the shops
and there was no toilet paper for us to even buy
we couldn't even have done the joke yeah that's part one
and a few other people were annoyed that we said we're going to
Amsterdam even though again that one was recorded
at an earlier point than when we were talking
and like literally like the next day that it went live
everything was cancelled so you don't have to worry about that
although we did have a few jarlings from
Amsterdam so they wanted to show us around
they did
which is pretty awesome
we will be rearranging that later
down line once this is all cleared and everything's
stable
yeah what's gonna happen
I think it's worth
a bit of advice from the jar boys
but it's not advice
it's just you should stay inside
you know don't go to all these places
don't go on you know some spring breaks like they are
America, don't just stay
self-isolate and you kind of got to let
this blow over.
Yeah? But dash ball wing.
But it's for the safety, so I think that's important.
What about when the zombies begin
and the scary bits?
Well, then everyone will be alone
and
nobody to bite.
It does make you realise, though, how important supermarkets
are to our
civilisation.
Because it's this cycle of
people just buying things on mass and scaring everyone else
and doing the same.
My, not myself and my family haven't been mass buying until, like, hardly.
You've still got one pint of milk in the fridge, for example.
Not that much time.
Good luck, finding more.
Here's the thing.
While supermarkets and, you know, big corp to that level are, like, got no stock.
You know, drive down the country roads and there'll be people like,
oh, we've got fresh milk, fresh eggs.
from farmers.
Yeah, to be fair, we're in a pretty good part of the country
for this kind of thing to go crazy.
Don't envy those in the middle of cities.
Definitely don't.
Because I can't think of anything worse.
It's always been the thing that's put me off cities
is just the density of people
and how many people are in close proximity at all times.
It's inherently going to be easier to spread viruses and stuff.
Yeah, let alone if you use like,
public transport constantly
buses and trains and things like that
As far as I'm aware
Most of those are already
Like closed down for the most part
Yeah I think it was recent
The tube in London is like being closed
Is it really?
Yeah
And they're like shutting that all down
Damn
What are we to do?
It's kind of escalated quite severely recently
Like last week it wasn't nearly as this bad
Like everybody's locking down
Like Germany's now closing all its borders
and it's been locked down.
Portugal, you're basically forced inside your house at this point.
Spain's like the same.
The military is just driving on our streets in Italy.
Apparently in Italy they have drones flying around.
Really?
That go stay inside and like go back to your home.
Like crazy.
We're living in some sort of dystopian sci-fi future right now.
It's absolutely wild, but it's like funny to see.
how China is like back to normal now
China's going to profit most
of what's happening here now
definitely it's just crazy
Jim and I when we were in Tesco
earlier just watching the
landslide occur
had a little
laugh with this random lady
because it was like
just acknowledging the absurdity
of it
yeah like all the beer is gone
all the crisps are gone
it's just been gradual because at first it was like
you know
hand sanitiser, toilet paper, now it's
a beer, squash.
They're starting to mass hold the things they
don't need. Yeah, I mean,
people are bolt buying bread.
Bread don't go off in a week, dude.
You can't freeze bread to be fair. Yeah, that is
true. Yeah, I didn't consider
that. But bolt buying squash to me is
quite weird. Yeah.
Like, what the fuck? But there are people that genuinely
don't drink water. And I think
these are the same people. Yeah.
I mean, to them, they're like,
they eat, you got to bolt buy everything you need.
and their first thing is fucking squash.
Yeah.
So I went, I think there's a big, like,
difference between going to, like, big supermarkets
and express, like, small ones.
They're still one-packed.
They're still full of stuff.
Because everyone's going to a supermarket.
So if you need anything,
go to, like, the odd shops,
and you actually find loads of stuff.
Like, I was going in there,
and the only thing they didn't have was eggs
and fresh vegetables.
That's it.
Who eats fresh vegetables anyway?
Exactly.
That's true.
the produce there was just nothing.
Yeah.
Again,
like,
fruit and stuff
isn't going to last
weeks.
Yeah.
So I don't really know
why,
you'd bolt by
fruit.
Yeah.
It's like,
you know,
cheap noodle soup pots.
That's what you want.
I saw someone
with a trolley
full of eggs.
This was like a week
and a half ago.
Hmm.
Like,
they were buying just so many eggs,
but you can't freeze eggs,
can you?
No.
No.
No.
No,
it doesn't it?
Yeah,
exactly.
Again.
Free's a fucking egg.
How are you going to eat that many eggs?
How many eggs do you eat on a daily basis
that you need that many fucking eggs short term?
They're all going to end up getting ill
from gone off eggs.
Well, they'll be like,
I've got like 50 fucking packs of eggs.
What am I going to do with these?
Just kick them into the garden
and probably create some new supervise.
And it's like,
the way people see horror movies or zombie movies
are people mass by,
they're just doing that.
And they don't realize that that's kind of,
like it's people don't know how to act
but they do know how to act based
on things they've seen in movies
what are they doing movies they go bolt by things
yeah things they don't need
because we just scare each other
we form like a little environment
and then we kind of just coast off whatever the
how we're doing in that environment
we're very much on edge
yeah we're influenced by our neighbours
whether that's literal or
rhetoric
Cool
Like
If everyone on your street
Is buying loads of
Something
You're probably gonna think
Oh
I'm gonna say everyone in your streets started
Bording up windows
Yeah
You'd be a bit like
Huh
Well everyone else has done it
So
Yeah
There's got to be a reason
That's true
Have people started
BOT buying shit like that yet
Like from being Q
And these housing
like DIY places
weapons making like
yeah like all the shovels are gone
all the like gardening tools and shit
that's a good question I haven't thought about that
dog food people are mass by
yeah we know just that in Tesco
yeah so people they're going to wind up
with these dogs that are going to starve because of it
no yeah no animal shelters are ready getting
massive influx of dogs being abandoned basically
because people just like dropping the dog off
just they just freaked out about a virus
But the show's like
That it is just going beyond rational thought
If you're going to that degree where you're like
Man, it's so bad out there
I can't look after my dog anymore
I've heard a story that the family
Their son had COVID and he had special needs
And they basically wanted him to stay in school
Because they didn't want him at home
Like they're people abandoning kids
Like this is how extreme it's gone
Like nobody has any intelligence at this point
It's just pure hysteria
And we are the voice of
reason. Yeah, we know exactly
everything. Well, because
when you think about what that actually is
you know,
it's not like something where
if it gets
in contact with you, you just instantly die.
Yeah, yeah. It's not like fucking bird box
where there's just this fucking thing going
on that you can't control. It's just people
are just dropping that flies left and right. You have to consider
like the actual overcome
to actual fatalities.
Like there's a big difference and there's
a reason why those people like would
pass from it and that would be like old or you know recommission systems or health issues like
pretty much all of the people are passing it fine and recovering and people are just like oh man
no I need to lock myself from my house with all the bread and eggs well the concern is spreading it to
people who are vulnerable that's why these lockdowns have to happen you've got to isolate it and stop it
from spreading which china have done and they're coming out the other end of it now and we're only
now playing catch up when it's far too late yeah it seems like europe's the worst place at the moment
for this.
Yeah.
By far.
Oh, well, we'll see.
We will see.
Just be safe, charlings.
Stay inside and stay healthy.
Can drink all your beer?
Yeah.
Or maybe savour it.
Just have two packs, two multi-packs of whatever you drink a night, instead of just, you know.
On the subject of beer, as much as you can.
Some bars are actually, they're closing up, but they will deliver.
They will deliver you alcohol to stay afloat, because all of these food places are going to have to close down,
and they're not going to survive unless they do delivery
so bars are delivering alcohol
every other places is delivering food
it is really interesting
who is winning and who is losing because of this
because some things some businesses are really winning
because of this
all these supermarkets must see a huge
bump in the money they're making
and YouTubers were all isolated
fucking loners anyway who
just make videos all day long
and we're fine
People are going to be at home, they're going to watch YouTube videos, so viewing is going to...
Yeah, gaming and all that shit.
We've just had a ridiculous, like, few releases that are coming up.
Well, they will be out by the time this video is up, so there's something for everyone.
Disney Plus is about to launch in the UK, so that would probably be really popular here.
Yeah.
So, you know, swings aroundabouts.
But then, then I consider hospitality, and they're all basically being laid off, you know, no...
no security at all.
And that's an industry
that's going to be on its knees.
I think coming out of this
in England specifically
with how it's like a bad culture anyway
with all these big change
having all these pubs everywhere,
that's going to be a completely different industry
once this passes because of this.
Yeah, you've got to be smart.
Yeah.
And just hope it doesn't last too long.
It's like...
Well, I mean, no matter what,
it will come to an end.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So there's no point.
getting doom doomy gloomer about it
Zuma boomer
There is something worth being doom and gloom about there
Yeah
And that's Star Wars
Episode 9
What's it called the Phantom
The Phantom Awakening of Mace Wendy
No because that would be awesome
Yeah that would be awesome
Well I mean it would be at least better than what we got
That would have been a cool reveal
If that was the reveal
that Mace Windus was Ray's grandfather.
Yeah, that was mind-blowing, actually.
Everyone would be like,
whoa, this really opens some doors in the styles of universe.
I only bring it up, because while we're waiting for James to finish with work,
Jim and I watched it, me for the second time, Jim for the first.
James, you haven't seen it.
You ain't missing out on much.
I don't plan to.
Yeah, they don't.
Yeah, what do you think, Jim?
the finale
the conclusion
I think it's
entertainment-wise worse
it's the worst Star Wars movie
damn
I've been flirting around
saying that I think I've said it to you
but I haven't said it on anything that was recording
because I wasn't sure if I could back it up yet
but I genuinely think I'm with you
just thinking about
like even watching it again in six months
it was actually a slog to sit through
earlier
like I
we paused it part way through
and I was like
I looked at it and was like
dude it's only been an hour and a half
there's still like
an hour
yeah an hour of this
this left
yeah I mean
like the
it's just confusing
half the time
like the lengths it will go to
to undo stuff
it has done
within the trilogy itself
or within its own movie
or within its own movie yeah it's constantly like oh look at this got you didn't actually
happen oh no be sad about this yeah no don't worry though it's fine like
are we allowed to go into spoilers um depends what kind of spoiler we're talking about
it's been out a while like does anyone care at this point yeah spoiler alert for the next
fucking 12 seconds C3PO
and quote, dies.
Oh, that's not a spoiler because he doesn't die.
Well, yeah, but he gets his mind erased,
which is basically equivalent to a death.
And then just in some offhand scene, like half an hour later,
R2D2 is just like,
let me put this in your brain,
and then just gives him his memory back.
It's like it's too sacred for them to do anything with it.
Yeah.
So then nothing has stakes in the whole movie.
And like,
there's even
there's what
one death in the movie
one actual death
of like a main character
two
but even then
they three
they've
in the movie they
showed a way where you can basically
just heal people for nothing
there's no rules attached to this healing thing
so then when I think they offhand
tried to explain that only
Ray and Kylo are capable of it
but again it's not
but why doesn't Ray just heal everyone that dies
every good guy that dies
would have been handy if you knew how to do that when Hans Solo was
yeah
oh the movie's been talked about to death
but I'm more interested in this idea that it's the worst
Star Wars movie what makes it worse than attack the clones
which I feel like is considered the worst one
in terms of
like the way it looks
um
episode nine is better
in terms of acting
episode nine is probably better
yeah it is
in terms of story
which fucks up things more nine
nine fucks things more than two
yeah messes way more things up so
the story is worse
and then
there's
And it has no original ideas, at least attack the clones, while there are some familiar things in there.
You go to Camino, you go to genosis and shit, you aren't just constantly referencing the original trilogy in the same way.
Yeah, it's fresh and weird.
And it's always funny.
It's just full of unintentional jokes.
Yeah, that's the thing that will always elevate them as the prequels are just funny.
Yeah.
They're inherently funny.
These new ones, they're just kind of disappointing.
Yeah, they're boring
And get worse, yeah
They just get worse as they go along
Especially this one is fucked
Just, it's just completely fucked it
Yeah
It's, I don't know how they could ever come back from this
It's that bad
Because at least the prequels
Like, it all happened before the original trilogy
So you can always
It's for some reason the prequels are easier to ignore
Yeah
But now where they're, it was
Was it because the actors were playing younger versions, so they couldn't have had the same actors?
Because, like, what actors are the same, really?
Whereas now you have old layer, you have old Luke and all this.
And there's something really weird about that.
But they don't use the original characters in the prequels, really?
No.
Other than, like, Darth Vader, obviously, but...
Annie and Obi.
Yeah.
Little Annie and Wotto.
I mean, they did...
They messed up Darth Vader pretty bad.
But the prequels, like, thinking about it, they messed them up really bad.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, the last movie's fine for Darth Vader, though.
They were too bad.
You like the, no.
No, the last movie is really fucking entertaining for some weird reason.
It was so just intense.
The last being, episode three.
Yeah.
So you think, what's it called, Revenge of the Sith?
Yeah.
Revenge of the Sith is better than the Phantom Menace, do you?
Yeah.
Okay
I'd concede it
Episode 3 being better than
Attack of the Clones
I personally prefer The Phantom Menace in my mind
No but which one has more palpourteen?
Episode 3
Yeah, that's fine
That's a solid point
But however
It's not as funny
And it's so strangely structured
That movie
It is super
But then it's like
I like episode one
because of the nostalgia
of the pod racing
whatever
everyone's got their own
fucked up list
yeah
just the new trilogy
besides Rogue 1 is shit
all of them are shit
besides Rogue
I think the Last Jedi
is the best of the sequels
I would say the first is the best
this is where it becomes
confusing in saying in terms of
what you know because because now the the the the story of this new trilogy is so
fucked yeah and no consistency to it there it's like well i kind of don't like any of it now
because like what is the fucking point you know like none of it was going anywhere and none of it
meant anything that's why he's the best because it's just and it's an independent story
and it's still got the same production value as the other so it's got that good and a good of an
independent story and that's why i have to think about it is like what like awesome scenes are in
these movies i can think of loads from rogue one you think of a fair few from the last jedi um
as a couple force awakens as a couple episode nine like genuinely yeah there's not a single good
action scene so that doesn't even like redeem the movie but then in the prequels like
I like the pod race.
But again, like it.
I like the lengths.
I really like the...
I really like some of the ideas behind the prequels and like some of the themes.
I think thematically is pretty solid.
But the execution of it is just so fucked.
Yeah, it's mind-blowingly bad.
But even then, it's quite sickening seeing a movie that is so...
It's such a product.
Episode 9?
Yeah.
Pandering to the extreme.
Yeah.
Whereas like...
The Last Jedi was like almost too much a Ryan Johnson movie and not enough Star Wars.
Yeah.
And episode is just like this...
The total opposite.
It's like, okay, let's pander to the fans and try and get the ones we pissed off back.
That's why I think episode eight is the best of the new ones.
Because it is...
I think episode eight is the only one people are going to like talk about,
any significant way.
Yeah, I think that's true.
Whether it be for
hating or loving.
Say what you will about it, but like
he tried to put different
themes in there.
And he made his own movie.
Yeah.
Whereas JJ Abrams' whole
identity is
not having an identity and
it felt like it was less restrained
by the fact that it was Star Wars.
It didn't, it didn't
yeah, it fucked up because it was
it was doing something like
unplanned and weird and
what felt like a middle
finger to some of the fans
but you know
jerk off the Melanian Falcon
I suppose
is what we want to see a force ghost
I want to see Ray
notice that Kyle Lorenz coming towards her
in a fucking X-wing
and she's like hold up and then she turns around
and then waits for the perfect moment
and starts running really fast
and then fucking
jumps and does a massive backflip over the Thai fighter
and slices the wing off
and then Kylo Ren's in the little ball
and it starts rolling and rolling and rolling.
How's he going to survive this?
And then he just gets out and starts walking towards it.
It doesn't just roll, it rolls and bounces
for what looks like fucking hundreds of metres.
Yeah.
Then it explodes.
Yeah, that's right.
And then he just gets out.
Right, he's just a scene.
Yeah, that's a scene in episode nine.
That just sounded like something from fucking
metal gear solid.
No, I said after that scene happened
I said that was such a fast and furious action scene
Yeah, holy shit, yeah
It's really bad man
Christ, didn't know it was that bad
Yeah
Things we loved as children stand for nothing anymore
And we sit back and pay the price
Everything is ruined
Our...
So that was the one thing
The one last thing I wanted to say actually
Was that
George Lucas
was there in the prequels
having him gone
it's not it is something
weird about that yeah it's not right
something fucked about it
it's not making me pleased
even though
the prequels are what they are
at least they are his fucked up
devil spawn you know it's not Disney's
like weird corporate thing
there's something just inherently less
likable about about when it comes from
just dizzers
sad times
What the fuck is happening?
I like that one
That's such a Star Wars movie for James
Which I love that movie
Rogue One
Because it's just like a war movie
In Star Wars
Yeah
That's why it's so good
Saw that in the cinema
Banging Time loved it
Didn't watch solo
What's the one they're gonna do after this
It's supposed to be three like mini ones
No they've said like we're just not gonna do anything for a while
It's all about
Mandalorian and that Obi-One show I guess
Yeah, but Mandorian is actually good, though.
For the most part.
But better than what we've...
There's one shit episode and two really good episodes, and then the rest.
It seems like Stiles is going to live on as a TV show at this point for something...
It's weird, it's like reverted back into what inspired it.
Yeah, no, it is just a silly adventure serial.
Yeah.
Which is honestly much more fitting than it trying to be a venturing game.
Yeah, because then they're making it with...
the same, like, philosophy as
originally was, man.
You can't hold this shit to just reverence
for no reason all the time.
Yeah. That's the thing they've fucked up with most,
probably. Because, like,
even in Rogue One, they do it, where it's, like,
it can't just be its own thing. You've got to have the
fucking guy from
episode four. Mm-hmm.
Who gets his arm cut off, show up.
You've got to have
Grand Moff Tarkin and Leia being it.
Yeah. CGI.
God, speaking of, there's layer in...
Oh, the layer scenes in episode nine.
I thought they were weird in the cinema,
but I was like, maybe this is only weird
because I know that she was not alive
when they made this movie.
Yeah.
And maybe upon rewatch it, it will be all right.
But, dude, it's probably even weirder
the second time.
It's like, they had to write these scenes around
as just leftover material they had of her.
Mm-hmm.
So it's really strange.
because it's like these people not actually interacting
and you know they're not interacting in real life
so there's no like they're not reading anything off each other
it's just fucking weird
yeah and the way she talks it's like she's become Yoda
yeah
yeah she's got no personality or any point really
yeah it's really sad
it is sad they really kind of fucked up didn't they
they could just like been respectful and just left them
the first one and then said it was just like the shit
they did in the ones after it's just a
it's just a you know
corporate shit
there you go
there it is
boom
boom
oh I've trod on a
fucking tack
that's a horrible way to end part one
what if I was not wearing shoes
I would have trodden on this tack
it would have been like that scene in a quiet place
that I recently watched and a movie that isn't that great
where she's walking down the stairs pregnant
and then she's standing
stand on attack she stands on a nail
like a huge nail
and that actually had me
just like
yeah
she's like fuck
I scream when I do that shit
yeah
I can't do feet stuff
yeah because feet is so sensitive
fuck man
dude
you ever trodden on attack and it's just gone in
yeah
yeah I've done that I stood on a piece of glass
once and I was like
yeah no it's that kind of pain
where you know it's too late
yeah
and it's like now I've got to fucking take this
out. Yeah, that's the worst bit.
It's bad.
Well, that being said, um...
Go away, Jedi.
And never fucking come back.
We fucked you, everybody.
Ah, nice addition for my collection.
Oh, that's gonna fit
nicely in my collection.
I was doing like someone turning on it.
Want a dick on a shirt?
Check the description below.
Yo, yo, what's up?
This is a charm media podcast, everyone.
Welcome back.
You can say good afternoon.
Good afternoon, morning, evening, all night.
You can't fucking ensure it constantly.
There's one chance to intro,
and it belongs to the one who sits in this throne.
That throne shouldn't belong to you anymore.
I will fight you for it.
Well, in my opinion, it should, because all.

Ben.
Sebastian aught's going to get us going this episode with this.
Hello, Sebastian.
In your minds, what's the physical appearance of the average jar listener?
Uh-huh.
Ooh.
Um, monks.
Monks.
Monks.
Like Buddhist monks.
I like that.
I'm not sure how realistic it is, but I like that idea.
five points
James
I want to say
nuns
too similar to Jim's idea
I know I know
So you know that meme
Nuns
Nuns
NUNs
So you think we
So we collectively agree
We attract a kind of philosophical
religious slant
Yeah for sure
Definitely
They've got to get their truths from somewhere
yeah you know members of the cloth type
average physical appearance
is probably a
you know 14 year old boy
it's like you know that that meme
but they're on the laptops
that that's just loads of different jar fans
oh the guy from South Park
the World Warcraft episode at the keyboard
no no I'm one about the really buff guys
like there's four pictures they're really fucking huge
oh that one that's those charm media fans
okay
yeah I think
like Buddhist monks
I think that's fair probably
four points for that
this guy's got a name
I can't fucking say
let me read it
hello I can't fucking say
I'm supposed to say that
big
Big
Big Mike 64
What?
Big Mike 64
That's his name
What's his actual name?
Big
I can't
I genuinely can't say it
Big what
Um
Um
I can't
I can say the question
Say the question
Has Alex played
Ory 2 yet?
If you mean ori and the wheel of the wisps, then yes.
Yes, of course.
I finished it a couple days again.
And...
Out of ten, come on.
Come on.
Out of ten?
Um...
I honestly think a nine's pretty good.
Okay, uh, better or worse than the first one?
Better.
I'd say better in every way
You were big on the first one
I just love that
That feature where you can kind of
Zoom off enemies
You're like pause time
You can launch off them
And there's like a huge skill ceiling
Where you can get like just ridiculous
Traversal through the game
Yeah
And the second one just you know
Does everything better
And it's on game pass so why are you not just playing it
You know what I'm saying?
Because there's other games to play
true
uh yeah
um tomorrow was us recording this animal crossing is coming out
doom's coming out
you know so you can have the wombo combo of playing animal crossing
while listening to the doom soundtrack
which is the only reason to play doom
so just don't play it
just listen to the soundtrack
have you played doom eternal then huh
so who here is getting doom eternal
what do you mean
who his get who my game is ory
because I like weird games like that
who's getting animal crossing
Me
Okay, so I'm Auri
James' Animal Crossing
Jim, your doom
Is Neo
Neo? Neo
Yeah, N-I-O-H-2
N-O-H-2
Ni-O-H-2
N-O-O I didn't know
That was best kind of
Slid under the radar the second one of that
I mean the first one did really
sold pretty well
Yeah, but it wasn't like Dark Souls
It's not revered
I don't think
People love it
What, Neo?
Yeah.
Do they?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I guess I'm wrong.
I guess I'm fucking wrong.
I don't know anything about it.
I get it if it wasn't on PlayStation probably.
Maybe.
It's just I've never played a Soulslike game that comes anywhere close to whatever I'm looking for from soft games.
Yeah.
The gaming industry is very like that.
It sees a trend and then everyone jumps on it.
And you're just left like, well, this is just kind of copy of that first thing that's,
like the best version of it anyway yeah so yeah but even but when it's something to do with
from soft because when they do it it's correct yeah there's there's similar things though
aren't there we're like it's just nailed by somebody yeah yeah yeah why it would be like
someone else making a mario game yeah and they tried yeah like crash bandicoot compared to
marry 64 maria wins by such a
a huge majority.
Gecks?
Why'd you have to bring up Gex?
Because he's actually better than Mario.
Yeah, exactly.
So you kind of just defeated my whole point.
Echo the dolphins up there too.
Glover.
Glover?
Yeah, Glover.
The fuck is...
Everyone remembers Glover.
It's the glove with eyes and it walks around on the middle fingers and it's...
From what?
From Glover.
On what?
Glover.
It was on like PlayStation 1.
Are you serious?
Yeah, Glover
Dan
Glover
Glover
Have you heard of this James?
Yes
Have you not heard of
Glover?
Have I not heard of fucking Glover?
Yeah
Which is spelled like
Glover with an R on the end
Yeah, it was on the end 64
Glover, look, there's a picture of him
I've never seen this fucking thing in my whole life
Glover
G lover
Is this like supposed to be a good game?
No, no
Apparently it's awful
But it's a glove with four fingers
That's disturbing already
Isn't it going to a ball
No, it like rides a ball
Yeah
Yeah because donkey made a video on it
If it's
Why is it not Glover
That's my question
Because he's a glove
But if I saw that written
I'd probably think Glover
Yeah but you only see it written
Beneath a glove
So then you read Glover
And see a glove
riding the ball. Is Glover mean something
or a little double entendre thing
going on? Maybe he's Irish and it's
Clover. Grover?
Yeah, G-lover.
Grove lover.
The music's really good in Ori as well
by the way. Orie 2
and 1.
Okay, which is a better soundtrack?
I think one actually does.
The two so varied
though and it
it doesn't
it reincorporates all the good stuff from the first
soundtrack though so maybe it is too
I don't know it's too fresh
it's too fresh James do you understand me
so they just copy and paste it as the soundtrack
and put it in the second one you're like um I like
I like this one oh god
way to reduce what I fucking said get zinged
boomed
boom dig the head as this
to say
what is each of your favourite ice cream flavour
slash brand bonus points have
James picks something weird to be different.
James, you go first.
He's going to say he doesn't like ice cream.
Fudge Brownie Ben and Joe's.
Damn.
It's a solid pick.
That's my number two, I think.
Really?
Yeah, with fish food being number one.
Probably.
Fish food, Ben and Jerry.
So we all agree Ben and Jerry's then.
Yeah, fuck, yeah.
What even comes close?
No, because it's just like, there's different ice creams of different, like, times.
Like, when I want, like, I want ice cream, let's say, of like, a one.
warm dessert or pudding, like a nice
raspberry one. I normally go with like a
Hagandas, because that's kind of like a dessert one
almost. But then
if you're sat in front watching an episode
of Peaky Blinders, you just grab the
fucking massive pot of Ben and Jays and you fucking go ham.
It's like different ice cream for different
situations, you know? I think Hagandars
is the galaxy of ice cream
whereas Ben and Jerry's
is dairy milk. Yeah.
No, that's either. But dairy milk
is way more affordable than Ben and Jerry's
is in terms of ice cream. That's true.
Doesn't dairy milk do ice cream?
Yes.
How's that?
I had a flake one and the ice cream, the vanilla ice cream tastes a strawberry ice cream.
It's really weird.
That's just a lie.
No, I'm eating one white now.
I know.
I eat an entire pot of it.
I have eaten a lot of those flake ice cream.
And God damn, they're good.
They're good, no joke.
They're affordable.
They're delicious.
When you consider, you can get two of them for one, Ben and Jerry's.
They're pretty good.
Yeah, they're really good.
And they, there's like a.
an Oreo one as well by the same
because dairy milk and Oreo
are surprisingly closely tied
true true
and that's awesome as well
Ben and Jerry's is the best because it's like
fat, filthy just
yummy fucking ice cream also
their like low calorie one
tastes nice
of Ben and Jerry's
yeah it does
yeah it does taste nice and obviously not as nice
but yeah
you gotta
pick your losses as
somewhere.
Yeah, yeah.
It just makes me feel good
that if I ever wanted to diet,
I could just eat those.
See, I don't know if people are hoarding Ben & Jets
because they go in the freezer.
Are people hoarding them?
Actually, that's another thing
that's just been stripped bare of frozen products
because, of course, they actually last.
Mm.
So.
But vegan food
probably isn't being bought.
Why not?
Because, you know, people who mass buy are people who...
What about all the people in, like, San Francisco?
Yeah, but they're going to be hoarding.
No, but I'm about here.
I want about here.
Not in San Francisco.
Vegan food is, like, beans.
No, but I mean, like...
Let's this.
Alternatives, okay.
Sosages.
I don't know if vegans are even allowed to eat some of those meat substitutes,
because loads of them are made out of...
Yeah, a lot of them are just vegetarian.
Yeah.
You know what I mean, okay?
even if I used the one word
you knew what I mean
meant
but the boy
would I demolish a Ben & Jers right now
I went to the shops in the
Pauling fucking Wayne
at night
in a storm
wearing shorts
to go get Ben and Jerry's
and I came out with Flake
so were you disappointed
no because the Flake's nice
you just
you said it wasn't
you're saying up this story
as if it was going to be
like really sad
it was sad because I had
the cravings because you know
I'm a young man
you know I get cravings for food sometimes
you know once a month I really want
one food and I really
fancy you're not pregnant
I don't know I really fancy Ben and Joe's
and I went out and it wasn't
there it's really sad
because of the COVID
yeah no I don't know it just wasn't there
okay and you know
working from home now for like
in everyday everyday work
from home for the next four weeks because of COVID.
Because I'm not active.
I can hate that you can say that and that's actually reality.
Is what?
Saying, oh, I got to stay at home for four weeks because of fucking a virus.
It's fucked up.
It's fucked up.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
But because I'm not working and my mind's not, I am working from home.
It just doesn't, it's not the same.
Because my mind's not active at around like 7, 8 o'clock.
I just get cravings.
And every day, it likes, it's like, it's like,
the sign of me having depression,
and me being depressed by when I go out,
same time every day just to buy shit food.
If I can bed and jones.
7.8 p.m. do you say?
Yeah. In the dark, wearing shorts every time,
in the cold, to buy, like, one specific thing.
You know, you don't have to wear shorts, right?
Yeah, that's something you get to do.
You keep bringing that up as if it's, like,
something to rest of your sorrow for you.
You're choosing to do that.
You're wearing jeans right now.
Let's because I'm out, you know?
But if you're staying at home all day, you're going to wear pyjamas or shorts, because that's easy, it's comfortable.
So when you go out, you're going to wear pajamas or shorts.
If you were wearing pajamas, would you change into shorts to go out to the shop?
Yes, because why don't wear pajamas out?
Instead of just taking your pajamas up and putting trousers on, you put shorts on.
because shorts like pyjamas are comfortable they're airy they're free flowing
they're not they're not sticky and uncomfortable like these so you think all jeans are
uncomfortable sitting sitting on in a desk all day or watching fat fucking TV with jeans is
terrible so people wear pajamas don't you mean like some trackies some loungey
Alex yeah like I'm wearing right now Alex wears trackies 90% of the week yeah if not
95. I don't have any.
I do have some, but I don't wear
them, like out.
Not even to the shop.
Yeah. It'll be on day free
of wearing them, and then I'll go to the shop in them
because that means I've got a recent clean.
Because what?
He says something like, I've got a recently,
I've recently cleaned them. Is that what you said?
No.
I don't like doing trackies, because they're so
slobish. I feel like such a fucking slob.
That's that any different to just wearing
pyjamas all day. I don't wear pyjamas all day. It's why I wear shorts, because I don't feel like a
slob. But if you're doing the same thing but with a different piece of clothing, what difference does it make?
No, but then by wearing shorts, I don't have to change our pajamas into shorts to go out. If I wear
shorts in the first place, I can just go out. I don't feel like a slob. But you said if you were
to be wearing pajamas, which you do do sometimes. I don't ever do that. You said you did at the
start. You said it only makes sense to go in your pajamas or shorts.
Doesn't mean I wear them, that means other people wear them.
I always wear shorts, because then I don't feel like a slob.
I can go outside.
My fucking pajamas are like a weird dickhole.
So if I went to the Tesco with my fucking pajamas on.
At least will be arrested.
Yeah.
Especially if there are stairs, because like, for some reason that hole, if you go on stairs,
like your dick's just poking out every time you either go to the bottom or the top.
I never have their problem
That's probably just as brand then
I wait
Okay
I'll contradict what I've just said
And say I do have
Pajamaed bottoms
That I sometimes wear
After I've come out of a shower
Before I go to bed
I don't wake up in them
Because I don't sleep in them
But I don't wear them out
And I wear them
Once a blue moon
So when do you wear pyjamas
Okay
Let's say
One instance where you walk from the bar
bathroom to your room.
What?
Okay, no.
No, let me explain.
Okay, so...
Let's say it's nine o'clock, okay?
A.m. or PM?
At night?
At night, okay.
You don't know?
Yeah, how would I know?
It's reasonable to be wearing pajamas in at a.m. up here?
No, it's not.
It is.
It's supposed to be out by nine.
What if it's a Sunday?
Oh, church, I suppose.
Let's say, you've just got out the shower at 9.8 p.m.
You want to play a few rounds of war zone or cod or destiny before you go to bed.
But that's not enough time to put jeans on or shorts.
Why not?
Is this after a bath then?
How's in this time thing?
What do you mean?
It's not on a fucking time.
How long does it put it to put chins on?
Let me finish.
Okay, so.
she just got out the shower
it's 9 o'clock okay
you're gonna go to bed at half 10
or 11
so you want to go downstairs and play
a few rounds with your mates
that's not enough time
to put jeans on because you're wasting the jeans
so you put
pytama bottoms on for that one hour before you go
to bed and then you take them off
yes you go to bed yeah
and then when you get up
you get straight into your
shorts?
Yes.
You don't go back into the
projama bottoms once you've
they've had their use.
What, once?
Pretty much it.
So you shower, put them on,
then you put them in the wash.
No, because normally they stay
screwed up on the chair for like four
days.
Oh right.
Is that not unreasonable
to say that, you know,
an hour is not...
Because if you put jeans on,
you're just,
wasting the jeans because the next day you think the second you put on
trousers they become dirty no this is like for me it's a it's a it's a thing to do
like my mood almost my like ethic to do things if I get up and I get
pajama bottoms on I'm gonna have a shit day because I'm not doing anything
it's like the McDonald's thing I've said before right so if I get it's a mindset
thing yeah if I get up and put fresh jeans on I want to go do something I want to go
out, go to shops, buy some stuff.
So for you, it's defeatist to just put on
almost. I respect that a lot
more now that you said that
that makes sense. It's like, it's the same with trackie bombs
because I know I'm going to have a lazy day, it's lazy clothes.
So I will... You see, that's the genius
thing that Alex has done though, by always
wearing trackies. I'm so deep into this that
I actually have different trackies based
on activity. These are my dog ones.
That's why they're filthy.
Because I wear
like a filthier pair
for when I go out walking
or deal with it and shit
so then once the walks over I change
into something clean normally
didn't do that today
because I had errands to run
so it might have taken
a lot of explaining to get
do you understand what I mean now with the short
I understand more what you mean
it's just it's just the time element
that was getting me confused
it's a mood thing
it's like
time
there is something really nice though
about being out all day in jeans coming home
and just slipping on something
comfy but that works because you've been out all day
so going into like a fresh pair of trackies or
pyjolums work because that's when you lays around
because it's after the day of like being up
I do sometimes do that as a
once I've walked the dogs and then I put
jeans on and then
until I'm done working then I've done working then
put on
something.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah, if I
if I can get
into a good routine
and then I have like
a really productive
like week or something
and I'm like
this is
this is thumbs up right now.
Problem is
keeping it consistent
is the thing I find hardest.
Yeah.
Any routine type thing.
So it's like the way
I dress is just
it's just how
my day's going to go
so that's why I don't wear
pushing around bottoms
or trackies a lot
because it's just like
I want to be productive
so I wear shorts
because they're easy
and I can
work on my car with them because the overalls cover them.
So it's just like, I'm not getting them dirty and I'm being proactive productive.
So if you were to book a day off work purely to play cod, what would you put on?
Trachy bombs.
Because that's the one time they come out.
Yeah, usually, because I can go to shops for wanted a fucking Coke and go to shops and it's susceptible.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's like laser on it.
But other than that, it's always part.
black trousers for work or jeans.
And I, no matter what, if I'm going out of six o'clock,
all ways will just clean, put jeans on.
It's just, that's a routine, like, going on being active.
Fair enough.
Pop Tropica-esque name says,
Remove the false veil from Chad James and ask him what anime he's been watching lately.
For fuck sake.
What anime have you been watching lately?
Just because you know I've been watching anime.
this is the time where everyone should be watching anime yeah it's true
I just I was because the one thing that I dislike about anime is how hard it is to watch
like in what sense what just find streaming sites you've got to find a dodgy
streaming site where the quality's not going to be that great buffering times would probably be long
was this if you don't want to pay for whatever the what's it called like crunchy roll
that's why I gave up with anime so it's just like I can't be involved to like it's like effort to try and watch something
What about, like, are there any good anime on, like, Netflix or Amazon Prime, really?
I have a lot of anime I love, and, you know, I want to re-watch things.
It's been like, I've grown a lot since I've watched this on.
I know if I appreciate it.
And there's always one that I want to re-watch, because it's just, like, it's just dumb,
and it's kind of mature with, it's, like, themes.
And then yesterday, I literally found it on Netflix, and I was just like...
What's it called?
Black Lagoon.
I've actually heard of that.
It's about a bunch of, like, um,
pirates in Asia and they just kind of
do shit. It's really great.
It's really high quality. Convenience is a big thing
though, like the only reason I watch Death Note
because it was just there on Netflix. Yeah, me too.
Easy to watch, good quality.
And Netflix is getting a lot more
anime now. Yeah, it is. It's making it convenient for me.
Isn't there a Castlevania thing?
That's supposed to be really good.
Like Castlebania Netflix show.
New seasons just come out. It's really short, but like
it's supposed to be really good. Really, the animation
is like actually insane. I might
I might give it a go.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's been, I've been meaning to watch it.
And my just fucking never-ending, just fucking list of shit.
And it always grows.
It never shrinks.
I think Netflix got the rights for all the Ghibli films.
All of the Glee films.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I was watching Spirited Away the other day and was like,
I've got to just like pause it every now and again
because it was making me tear up just for no reason.
Really?
It's just so, so stunning, that movie.
I only watched that movie like a few years ago, and it's just like...
It's like a modern day, like,
fairy tale. It really feels like something
that has existed for hundreds of years.
Really? Yeah. No, it's genuinely like
I'd forgotten. And that's on Netflix. Yeah. No, I'd
forgotten how fucking great that film is.
The Castello, Castle, Castello. There's so much
on there, and it's like, Ghibli films have this,
like, this heart. No anime's ever
been able to have. It's got such
passionate heart.
It's absolutely wild. I need to watch
what's the other one. Spirit of Domain, there's like another
really famous of years. The Wolf one.
Yeah, I need to watch
Princess Monano.
Yeah, yeah, Princess Mononic.
Is it true that they actually have good dubs?
Yes.
Yes.
Although I was watching it in Japanese,
because I always watched the dubs when I was younger.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's nice to see the voices actually animated to the Japanese audio.
I like seeing that added detail.
And I'm used to reading subtitles anyway.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I know everything that's going to happen,
so I don't need to pay attention.
Those movies have, like, a proper professional, like, voice actors.
Yeah, like Christian Bell was in...
Yeah, that's right, in How I was Moving Castle.
Yeah, no, they do have pretty good dubs, actually, whereas the rule normally is to not fuck with dubs.
Yeah.
Because I remember trying to watch, I think it was the Raid, or the Raid 2 with a dub, and it was fucking unwatchable.
Oh, my God, yeah.
I couldn't handle it.
It's too weird.
You can just about get away in some animation.
Mm-hmm.
But live action is just too weird for me.
Can't focus.
And there's that huge disconnect with live action where, like, you know.
You know that person isn't saying that
Because their voice doesn't connect with
Yeah
Yeah
Whereas you can kind of forgive a few frames
Being in a different place
For when an English voice actor is saying
Instead of a Japanese world
Well in animation
There's nobody actually in that body
Yeah yeah
Who has a real voice
Yeah
It's whoever you apply to it
And with like super stylized stuff
You won't notice it because they won't
They won't
The movements won't try to be human-like
They'll be very creative
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Like some of the studio Ghiblii stuff
Let's end on this one then from a
Fuck
New underscore Juggernaut
I recently realized my village
Box isn't too far from you guys
And I've been talked about on the cast
I was wondering if you have ever experienced a legendary
Sesh in the boomerang play center
In Melcham
I did a few laser tag birthdays
There and I vividly remember my friend
The Birthday Boy slamming his gun into the stomach of a bully
who was part of another party group
and was trying to cover up his censor spot
while shooting at us.
The vanilla ice cream they used to dosh out in the cafeteria area
found its way out of the bully's stomach
and onto most of the netting in the corridor
we were in. Pretty epic birthday party, not going to lie.
Also, what makes slash made a birthday party amazing
and what were the staples of a great party?
I remember past the parcel being epic.
Also, there's little bags you'd get at the end of the party
bag with a bit of cake.
and usually some bubbles and other random shit was always fun well he lives in box
boxes i literally drove through box today i had an interview twice it's a really nice place box
really yeah i i'd always known about box because it's a cool name yeah it's a cool name and i was
like that's a really memorable name for a town but i never knew geographically where it was in
relation to me before i drove it's a tiny place isn't it yeah no but in my sick form there were
a couple people that traveled from box yeah yeah to get there yeah i guess that's why it was
my mind. And I,
Melkham, where this place was, I drive
through every day.
And I don't remember that place, I never went.
And I'll be really sad and say, I've only ever been
to one party as a child. And I got
sick. I'm pretty sure
it was in that. You got sick? Yeah. I ate
something and just vomited everywhere.
It was great. So it's a fond
memory. I, um,
on past to parcel, I get really
upset because I get so anxious about it, because I didn't
want it. Oh, you didn't want to have to be the one to open it?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so I had like a bit, like I get really upset when I had to do it.
And it's like a sign that stuck me forever.
We've actually talked about Boomerang before, but I didn't know what it was called.
You know, the big Mesh play area center thing.
But we had one in this town, didn't we?
Yeah.
I'm really, they were, I remember going to Boomerang.
I definitely went to Bumerang.
I'm pretty sure in this town I went to one.
Yeah, I swear I was in the industrial.
Yeah, because back then it was just a field.
There was no buildings.
It was just one big blue building.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember it.
I mostly wanted to mention that because it's just someone who lives in Box.
It's like such a random, like this so close.
Yeah, that's really close.
It's like, small world.
I pretty much worked really close.
I went to study near Box, actually.
I'm crazy.
Yeah, I don't really remember, like, kiddie birthday parties that much.
I do remember, um, pass-a-past-up bubbles and shit like that.
yeah yeah
we don't want to trampoline
yeah yeah
we're trying to launch each other
really high
the party bag was a good way
of every child
getting a gift out of it
but it must be really annoying
as a parent
I wouldn't fucking do that
on that note
that's the end of this episode
oh fuck kids
don't literally
just
and on that note
that's the end of this episode
Thanks for listening and supporting us
We'll see you as long as the world isn't over or something
Where the internet hasn't gone
Bye
