Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:20 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.
Starting point is 00:00:52 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.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:43 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
Starting point is 00:02:02 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
Starting point is 00:02:24 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
Starting point is 00:02:38 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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
Starting point is 00:03:08 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
Starting point is 00:03:22 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
Starting point is 00:03:44 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
Starting point is 00:04:04 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
Starting point is 00:04:23 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?
Starting point is 00:04:42 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
Starting point is 00:05:00 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,
Starting point is 00:05:25 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
Starting point is 00:05:45 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
Starting point is 00:06:02 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?
Starting point is 00:06:16 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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
Starting point is 00:07:00 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
Starting point is 00:07:16 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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,
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:15 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah. Again, like, fruit and stuff isn't going to last weeks. Yeah. So I don't really know
Starting point is 00:08:35 why, you'd bolt by fruit. Yeah. It's like, you know, cheap noodle soup pots. That's what you want.
Starting point is 00:08:43 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,
Starting point is 00:08:51 but you can't freeze eggs, can you? No. No. No. No, it doesn't it? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:08:55 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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,
Starting point is 00:09:22 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
Starting point is 00:09:39 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
Starting point is 00:09:56 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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
Starting point is 00:10:19 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
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:51 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
Starting point is 00:11:08 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
Starting point is 00:11:26 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
Starting point is 00:11:42 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
Starting point is 00:12:06 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.
Starting point is 00:12:27 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.
Starting point is 00:12:44 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
Starting point is 00:13:07 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...
Starting point is 00:13:26 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.
Starting point is 00:13:54 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
Starting point is 00:14:06 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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
Starting point is 00:14:34 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.
Starting point is 00:14:56 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.
Starting point is 00:15:16 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:15:51 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
Starting point is 00:16:00 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
Starting point is 00:16:14 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
Starting point is 00:16:48 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.
Starting point is 00:17:07 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
Starting point is 00:17:25 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
Starting point is 00:17:39 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
Starting point is 00:17:58 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:19:05 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
Starting point is 00:19:18 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
Starting point is 00:19:38 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.
Starting point is 00:20:03 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.
Starting point is 00:20:21 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?
Starting point is 00:20:39 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
Starting point is 00:20:53 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
Starting point is 00:21:08 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:21:35 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
Starting point is 00:22:14 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.
Starting point is 00:22:51 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.
Starting point is 00:23:13 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.
Starting point is 00:23:34 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
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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
Starting point is 00:24:23 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
Starting point is 00:24:37 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
Starting point is 00:24:53 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
Starting point is 00:25:06 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
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:25:38 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
Starting point is 00:25:55 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
Starting point is 00:26:10 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:04 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,
Starting point is 00:27:20 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...
Starting point is 00:27:40 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
Starting point is 00:27:54 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
Starting point is 00:28:11 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
Starting point is 00:28:29 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
Starting point is 00:28:45 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
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:15 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
Starting point is 00:29:27 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.
Starting point is 00:29:42 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.

Starting point is 00:32:21 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
Starting point is 00:32:37 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
Starting point is 00:33:03 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
Starting point is 00:33:13 Big what Um Um I can't I can say the question Say the question Has Alex played Ory 2 yet?
Starting point is 00:33:31 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...
Starting point is 00:33:53 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
Starting point is 00:34:10 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
Starting point is 00:34:24 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
Starting point is 00:34:41 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
Starting point is 00:34:58 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
Starting point is 00:35:09 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
Starting point is 00:35:23 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.
Starting point is 00:35:33 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.
Starting point is 00:35:51 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Glover. It was on like PlayStation 1. Are you serious? Yeah, Glover Dan Glover Glover Have you heard of this James?
Starting point is 00:37:08 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
Starting point is 00:37:17 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
Starting point is 00:37:32 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
Starting point is 00:37:45 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
Starting point is 00:37:59 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.
Starting point is 00:38:16 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
Starting point is 00:38:34 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
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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?
Starting point is 00:39:18 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
Starting point is 00:39:36 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
Starting point is 00:39:52 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.
Starting point is 00:40:08 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.
Starting point is 00:40:21 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
Starting point is 00:40:34 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
Starting point is 00:40:50 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.
Starting point is 00:41:02 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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.
Starting point is 00:41:35 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...
Starting point is 00:41:49 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
Starting point is 00:42:03 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
Starting point is 00:42:16 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
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:04 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.
Starting point is 00:43:21 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,
Starting point is 00:43:36 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?
Starting point is 00:43:54 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
Starting point is 00:44:39 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
Starting point is 00:45:04 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
Starting point is 00:45:20 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.
Starting point is 00:46:00 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
Starting point is 00:46:21 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
Starting point is 00:46:33 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
Starting point is 00:46:47 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?
Starting point is 00:47:14 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.
Starting point is 00:47:24 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?
Starting point is 00:48:00 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
Starting point is 00:48:20 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
Starting point is 00:48:36 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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.
Starting point is 00:49:07 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
Starting point is 00:49:25 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
Starting point is 00:49:53 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.
Starting point is 00:50:12 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
Starting point is 00:50:25 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
Starting point is 00:50:44 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
Starting point is 00:51:02 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
Starting point is 00:51:14 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.
Starting point is 00:51:22 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
Starting point is 00:51:31 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
Starting point is 00:51:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:07 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,
Starting point is 00:52:30 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
Starting point is 00:52:58 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.
Starting point is 00:53:28 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
Starting point is 00:53:43 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.
Starting point is 00:53:59 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.
Starting point is 00:54:15 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?
Starting point is 00:54:28 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.
Starting point is 00:54:47 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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.
Starting point is 00:55:17 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.
Starting point is 00:55:32 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.
Starting point is 00:55:53 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
Starting point is 00:56:11 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
Starting point is 00:56:22 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
Starting point is 00:56:32 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
Starting point is 00:56:49 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
Starting point is 00:57:06 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?
Starting point is 00:57:27 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
Starting point is 00:58:00 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
Starting point is 00:58:19 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.
Starting point is 00:58:35 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.
Starting point is 00:58:55 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.
Starting point is 00:59:09 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.
Starting point is 00:59:30 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
Starting point is 00:59:45 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
Starting point is 00:59:58 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
