That whole um what's her name Skyla Skyla white is there's usually like per show there's an a character that gets unreasonable and the character and character that gets an unreasonable about of like online hate you know I feel like that's I'm starting to see that a little bit with um Adam Eve Atomive yeah yeah which I guess it's spoilers to talk about it anyway yeah um I just don't really like it when women do things
media. I just kind of don't like it when women aren't hot. Five, two, four, two, let's go.
Good up to the morning, evening or night. Ladies and gentlemen, ah, ah, ah, um, I'm welcome to
Brocast Season 7, Episode 16. I'm Alex, joined by Jim. I'm, um, off-camera.
remixing. No, I was pretending to do the voice. Oh, okay. No, you could do that. Someone had a good
suggestion where they were like, you know, invite Boogie onto Jha and just have Jim pretend to be
me for the whole interview while I'm just sat here like in silence. Hey, boogie, how you been?
I heard you got cancer, Boogie. Was that totally real and above board? Did Boogie have real
cancer? I think he had like
really fake
version. Oh.
I don't know. I hope he's okay now.
Boogie.
I hope you're okay out there
in this harsh world. There's a harsh world
for boogies like us.
It's a harsh word for boogers
out there.
Buggy neck.
It's not a harsh world for booger necks.
But how about this? How about this?
How about we do one of the old day
type of routines.
An old day.
Let's do one of those old day routines.
What's an old day?
You're looking pain.
What's happening?
Oh!
You're having one of those panic attacks again?
Fuck.
It's okay, Mario.
Okay, out of nine, how do you rate
the panic attack depiction
in a merry galaxy?
Out of nine?
Yeah.
Like seven? It's sensitive.
Really? Wow. That's quite hard.
Yeah.
He's like, mama, me
My mushroom made me too big.
I hate too many mushrooms.
Yeah.
I'm freaking out, dude.
Um,
okay,
here's a really valiant question for you.
Yeah.
7 out of 9 equals what out of 10?
7 out of 9.
Divide the 6, carry the 4.
What's happening, dude?
We didn't even get to the bit.
We haven't gone...
I feel like the first few minutes is just, like, building up to the...
Well, the thing is, we started talking about...
And then you said that we aren't allowed to do that.
You can beep that one.
So then it kind of puts me in a position where I'm like,
I don't know what I'm allowed to say.
Well, the censorship.
The problem is with the beeping thing is that some jarlings have learned to read lips
so they can read the beeps now.
So we've got to get more invent tile.
Okay.
Beep it and use CG graphics to make my mouth look like I'm saying the end word.
Okay.
That's a good idea.
AI it.
Yeah.
Do you know what every episode of Jal feels like for me?
What?
You know like when Circee Lannister's like stripped naked and has shamed.
Shame.
Yeah.
Ding.
Shame.
Why are you doing this to be Jarliggs?
Why are you throwing your nice rotten fruits at me?
Yeah.
Why?
I don't even like tomatoes.
Um, right, before we get too deep into the show, let me shout out the patrons over the Jiam Media.
Patreon.
The most powerful people of all.
They are demigods on their way to becoming gods.
That's the tier system.
Once you pass certain tiers, you, you know, demigod to Uno.
God, Una God.
Una.
Una God.
Yeah, they make the show
and audio version of possible.
You get the raw, unfiltered
MP3, ad free,
which you can sort of
upload.
You can click on the list.
Stop looking at me like that.
You can click the link. No, there's no click-clinking.
There's no lick-linking.
Fucking
dude um
oh
what was this
I'm like completely
stunned locked
that was some
I'm like a power move
yeah
I'll give you some
credit where it's due
normally you're like really good at
the like
you know the the
patron segment
yeah that was the worst one
ever
the Una god
yeah
no but I think
I think
Unagod combined
with a picture of your face
doing that
yeah
yeah
that's given this
some form
you know
but that
from me was kind of
involuntary
it was like
unagod
yeah
reacting to that
and then
when you have someone
looking at you
like that
you do just
kind of like
you're on the spot
all of a sudden
yeah
like
yeah
Yeah. So I guess what I was trying to say is that you can see Paisley's chance.
You can see Paisley's chance, but also, you know, put it on your podcast host of choice, your Spotify's or Podbeens or whatever, as well as your patron names being read out in the first or second week of each month, if you're a debby tier or above, as well as Jaffter hours, the supplementary weekly show.
two weeks ago
I did miss an episode
even though we'd recorded two
so there was a week of having two
which was the
planet sounds
like reaction
scary kind of video
as well as
Rugrats theory
and I feel like I'm missing one
I haven't written down
what did we do
Paisley's chance
Paisley's chance
Argy's chance
Billy's chance
Dark Souls 3?
Oh yeah, of course.
Is Dark Souls 3 as great as they say?
That was like a chunky,
what was it, half an hour or something?
Yeah, it was about...
Discussion.
It was like half of two half an hour's.
Half of two, half an hour.
Carry the four.
And last but not least,
the John Media group chat is a group chat
where we pluck certain things when they are
relevant to the question segment in the second half
and housekeepers.
I don't have any for housekeeping this time, but I do have some comments from last episode.
I got five.
One, two, three, four.
Carrey the four, five.
Um, you ready for housekeeping?
Once I caught official life, six, seven, eight.
Who actually wrote that?
God.
Then I let it go again.
It's in the Bible.
Euna wrote it.
This is how you must count.
One, two, three, four, five.
Yeah, but what if we had seven fingers?
One, two, three, five, six, seven.
We have ten fingers?
On, yeah.
What if we had ten?
What if we had one hand, 20 fingers?
Would we still count the same?
No, we would not.
We would not.
We would count in twenties then.
Yeah.
That would be normal.
That would be normal for the one hand.
The dogs count in fours.
They count in pores.
Zing.
Bada bang.
Woof.
Hur.
Um,
why are you in such a weird mean today?
What do you mean?
That's a fucking rude way to start a conversation.
No, it's not.
We've got some crazy stuff to talk about, but first let's do this housekeeping then.
Dude, I'm...
Starting with this one from Twy-A-T-7.
What do you think is T-W-Y?
Tw-Y?
Twyuna.
What?
To demonstrate our commitment to perpetual regression,
I propose that all jarlings pair up and rank off each other.
It's what James House would have wanted, hashtag, hunt the beast.
Yeah.
Hunt the Beast.
Do you remember Hunt the Truth for Halo 5?
Halo's actually going to come up in a little minute.
Really?
And everyone in the audience goes, yes.
Yeah.
Finally.
Herman Carrison
9214 says reset the ad each season and add new sound effects
Maybe let us vote for our favourite bit to carry over
To the next season Bear Bear,
So this was a suggestion in relation to the ever-growing
Midbreak Rankers ad with the T-Rex roar
That just keeps adding little sound bites
I quite like that as a suggestion
What do you think?
What do you think?
Give your thoughts unpack that, please
I believe there's such a thing as too many cooks
Too many cooks
Too many cooks
What do you think about this one then from
Max and Jones
9040? We need to get some megapine
glasses for the yorks
Oh, that's true
So goddamn true
That's so goddamn true
That should be standard I think in most pubs as well
Yeah
I'm sick of having to order
a fresh pint every 15
goddamn minutes. If it was like
what do you think the tier system
would be like megapine
Uber pine? Hyper pint?
What's a hyperpine? Like five?
Yeah.
A backpack.
Yeah, it's like one of those sacks
with a tube.
Straight to the mother utter.
Deboose
6353 says
this was in relation to there was like a question last episode about like
the nostalgia critic fighting someone called shad diversity
and neither of us know who that is yeah but this comment says shad diversity
was a cool YouTuber that made videos about medieval weapons and shit
then transitioned into being a grifter who complains about how the new
Game of Thrones show is woke or whatever
ah one of them well that is a problem how woke things have gotten
the thing is too there is a
issue with wokeness in in the marketplace of ideas I think we need to get
Dave Rubin to clear this up for us I think I need to give Dave Rubin a hug and
say you don't have to do this anymore you just say but I'm a classical
liberal over here yeah I'm too being classic freedom ha ha ha and last one for
this section from Timu Trent troggers troggers yeah Jim on capturing Homer like a
Pokemon that's that's what the very early Rick and Morty Pokemon rip-off pocket
morties did you were going around capturing Morties to have fight just make a
Simpsons version and it will be better for longevity it can have a few old
characters like Homer and Marge to catch up for the diehards and anyone else
from older era for updates of course.
Lenny?
What are we, morons?
But your starters can be the lovable modern faces
like Mike Wegman, Mrs. Payton and Shawna.
It would also be the only Simpsons game on the App Store
since Tapped Out was annihilated by EA.
So we're thinking long term here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Agreed?
Yeah. Whatever, man.
I say agree.
I'm on it agree.
So we're going to go.
three main things to talk about we got um you got options right i said halo's coming up in some
form so you have a halo related thing we have this unhinged no palantera related thing
okay and we have something to do with songs that i want to talk about which one do you want to do
first can we do a halo first okay let's start with that then some some more halo news has dropped
and finally actually sorted it
It's actually time to get excited folks
It's really happening
We're so back
Down, right
So yeah there's a rumor apparently
Personally, it's a quote
I'd be open to a Halo extraction shooter
Halo Studios reportedly abandons battle royale
And pivots to a different style
Here's what that means
A new report suggests Halo's battle royale
Ambitions fell short
with the project evolving into an extraction shooter that may now be tied to the next mainline release.
So the Battle Real rumor is like, that's not even a new thing either.
That's...
I thought that was going to happen with Infinite.
Yeah.
Like, this is a six plus year old rumor, I think.
The Battle Real thing has been like...
That must have been tinkered on forever.
And that would be...
That was foolish to release around the time those first rumors started, you know, being shared.
Yeah.
Like, it would have been stupid.
Um, in the latest report from Mr. Rebs.
The fuck is Mr. Rebs?
You don't know Mr. Rebs?
We got some details on Haley's Battle Royale, what it became and what may have happened next.
As always, it's worth taking this with a grain of salt.
Nothing is officially confirmed.
But Mr. Rebs has a solid track record.
So with that in mind, let's dive in.
Um, oh yeah, it was called Tatanka.
Um, a code name that was believed to be a battle royale mode,
Taitailo Infinite and its multiplayer story narrative.
the report the project was actually a separate experience developed by certain affinity and 343
industries now Halo Studios built using halo slipspace engine which is now no longer in use the
mode would have featured maps based on classics like blood gulch and Valhalla with players dropping in via drop pods
however the project was ultimately dropped as the battle reall wasn't working and the space became
increasingly oversaturated rebs also states that while some elements worked well the overall concept
did not land with developers surprise surprise development was paused in 2022 before the project
evolved into Project E-K-E-R-E-K-E-R, E-K, and moved over to Unreal Engine, something Halo is already
transitioning towards, with efforts like Project Foundry and Halo campaign evolved.
Project E-K, according to Rebs, was a PVEE extraction shooter, with the last confirmed
development status being back to 2023.
Its current status remains unclear with conflicting reports.
Some suggest E-K-E-K- is now a solo Halo multiplayer project, while others believe it has been
folded into the next mainline Halo title, which I assume will be Halo 7.
That's all the report covers for now, but it does raise some interesting possibilities.
Personally, I'd be open to a Halo extraction shooter, especially if, like, Ark Raiders,
it leans more into the social side of the experience.
I disagree with that bit at the end there.
It's just...
I disagree with all of it.
Yeah.
If you want to make an extraction shooter, make a new IP.
Make a...
That horse isn't just dead.
It's like a skeleton.
No.
dust.
Yeah.
There's nothing to kick anymore.
Yeah.
You just slept.
Yeah.
It's just an old bit of wet.
Yeah.
To clit an icon, you done fucked it up.
Ooh.
You done fucked it up.
Microsoft.
Yeah, you don't fucked it up, to be fair.
Who wants this?
Nobody wants this.
It was risky.
Like, look what's happening with Marathon right now.
That's not working out.
Sure, Hela is a bigger brand than Marathon.
on um but arc wasn't a brand they just made a good fucking game yeah it's almost like the key is to
like make something good make a game like not chase trends which the entire time that they
have own took over halo like that's all all they've done they've never made a halo game
they refuse to do it some yeah yeah why halo four halo five halo infinite
am i missing anyway yeah like all
them are just trend-chasing bullshit.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I...
I mean...
That's gonna bomb, obviously.
You can't trust a studio
that couldn't even re-release games that were already made.
Yeah, they didn't even make, it had nothing to do with...
Like...
But like the Master Chief Collection.
They managed to fuck up games that were already good.
That should have been the like we need to do something about this point. Yeah, we need we got to disband this and like start again type thing
Yeah, let's give it to us two years like this is not good enough this is supposed to be your like
It's their main thing like yeah there's that old quote anymore no
I guess it's like minecraft and like forza
I don't ironically like fourser came out on PlayStation so millions and millions of copies I was gonna say now that Microsoft
then's
um
Activision, but
like they've...
No one gives about
called anymore. I guess it's like Minecraft
really and shit like that.
Yeah. But there's an old quote of Phil Spencer saying
like, like,
if we don't get Halo working, then we don't get
Xbox working or something like that.
That's like...
Come on, Phil. Don't say that, man.
Yeah, you kind of... The die was cast
in a way.
Yeah, nothing surprising really
about that.
It is what it is.
Yeah, hopefully
it all just,
just gets cancelled and
yeah
actually disband them and just put it to bed please
yeah
it's just getting sad in our memory
yeah that's fine
yeah let it be a memory
yeah stop tarnishing the memories
yeah you know
yeah they're doing they're
they've done a pretty good job
with tarnishing the memories
to be honest
yeah
like if I think of like my top five
like video game franchises
I don't know if Halo would even make
the top 10 at this point.
Yeah, I don't know.
Because it's all like so like memory hold for me and like
all these like silos of like yeah,
there's this time period.
There's the broader like brand and like how much of it sucks now compared to it
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, they're shitting over it.
They're genuinely like ruining it.
And then like what is there to even ruin at this point?
Yeah, like you say, there's more shit than good now.
Yeah.
The cope.
Let it go, people.
Let it go.
Let it die.
Yeah, I think my current feeling is the...
I'm not going to buy that remake, the Halo One remake.
I don't think it should get any sales.
Mm-mm.
I think that was decided for me the second I saw the Hidden Experia video
where he explained the...
Fuck, what was it?
It was like a fucking monster munch skin for...
for that.
Nice.
I do like Monster Much, to be fair.
What's your favorite Monster Much flavor?
I like classic, the onion one.
Yeah, I like classic.
Pickled onion.
The spicy ones are quite good.
Yeah, they're good.
I like the, I like the beef one as well, the gold one.
I haven't had those in for a lot.
Yeah, I haven't either, but I've got good memories of those.
Yeah, I've got good memories of those.
What about the aliens?
Fuck the aliens.
What are they called?
I hate the, it.
Nobody knows.
They were just aliens.
This is when they, like, never existed.
Space Raiders.
That's right.
Yeah, there was something going on with those guys.
Yeah.
I always felt like they had the vibe that there's...
They were actually made by aliens,
and there's something, like, going on
of, like, controlling you through them.
Yeah, they're trying to do.
You know, all the toy shops had those weird little aliens in, like, a tube.
And you could stretch them.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know, a kid's still into, like, toys that you just, like, stretch?
That was a thing, yeah.
That was a thing, yeah.
Stretch on stretch.
Stretch Islandstrom movie, let's hear.
Yeah, there's that monkey that stretches as well.
Yeah.
People love that thing.
Yeah, they're like guerrilla guy.
Yeah, the gorilla guy.
You can test your strengths.
Yeah, and he's kind of based on Gorilla Grod from Flash, I think?
Buck, yeah.
Hey, I'm Gorilla Grod.
I've got some sort of brain device to help me intellectualize.
That was my impression of...
Anything else on Halo?
Or Alien Crisps?
Um...
chips
I'd say
pre-order
pre-order
the special edition
um
if
you are a fucking idiot
I'd say
yeah
that's all I'm gonna say on it
okay
unless you find it on the floor
conveniently then don't
yeah
or if you're really into
monster munch as much as I am
yeah
um
so do you want the song one
or the Palantier one
next um I think the Palantir one okay this is I'm still kind of wrapping my head
around this is a fucking dystopian um so on where's the date here April 18th 745
p.m. in the UK the Palantier Twitter account tweeted like a manifesto basically
saying because we get asked a lot,
full stop,
the technological republic in brief
and then has a list of like
jar commandments, 22 of them,
like tenants kind of.
I think this is like a book.
Let me just double check the technological republic.
Yeah.
I don't like the sound of this.
Yeah, published 2025.
What is the summary?
The technological republic examines the profound impact of tech on governance and society, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations and cooperative frameworks to balance innovation with the preservation of democratic values and human rights.
But now I hear about the way they phrase it.
Number one.
You could give these like a cringe-based up.
Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible.
The engineering elite of Silicon Valley have an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation
That's terrifying
Isn't that just kind of like justifying their power? Yeah, yeah
Because they've been allowed to exist and kind of gather that power, right? It's kind of yeah, they're um
Part of their cult
The the Silicon Valley
Uh
Murder billionaires
Is the belief that like
they
they need to be on top
like they
they need to have
they should have that power
the like gold complex
yeah leading this
arms race it's on arms race basically
it's like a lot of this is weirdly similar
to like the nuke stuff
um
number two
we must rebel against the tyranny
of the apps
is that iPhone our greatest
creative
if not
crowning achievement as a civilization the object has changed our lives but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible
through what your AI systems what does that mean okay three free email is not enough the decadence of a culture of civilization and indeed its ruling class will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public okay these are all cringe
Number four, the limits of soft power of soaring rhetoric alone have been exposed.
The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal.
It requires hard power and hard power in this century will be built on software.
That's the nuke argument.
Yeah, it's like a deterrence type kind of concept.
That's what the hard power of having nukes is, right?
It's like it gives you a diplomatic advantage kind of.
You can like swing your...
Yeah.
And they, they, um, these, these,
these, Baleenar people,
they don't want countries to be run democratically.
They want them to be run like businesses with a CEO.
Uh-huh.
You know.
Number five, the question is not whether AI weapons will be built.
It is who will build them.
And for what purpose?
Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing
technologies with critical military and national security applications they will proceed.
It's quite similar to the previous one.
Yeah, and it's again like you were saying with the nuke argument.
It's like, well, they're all doing it.
Yeah, we need to destroy every small town in America to justify us being the winners,
I guess.
And all of the taxpayers need to pay for it too.
You need subsidy to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Number six, national service should be universal deal.
duty. We should as a society seriously consider moving away from all volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the same risk and the cost.
What is their motivation behind that one?
Surely they profit from war?
Yeah, yeah.
Seven, if a US Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it.
And the same goes for software.
We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad,
while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm's way.
What?
It's posturing.
These last few seem to be under the same kind of banner, really.
I don't understand how they can...
It's kind of scary they're equating it to a gun as well.
Yeah, yeah.
It's all like through the ends of weaponry.
They're acting like what they're doing as noble.
Because I genuinely think that's their perspective.
They think they're doing like a utopian like, this is evolution.
Like this is the next step of humanity type of thing.
Number eight, public servants need not be our priests.
Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
So what, they want everything like private, I guess.
number nine we should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life
the eradication of any space for forgiveness a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and
contradictions of the human psyche may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will
grow to regret I didn't feel like giving them more grace is the I think it's actually the opposite
that sounds to me like um that sounds like it's written by musk you need to me
But it's like woke bad
Is that what they're saying?
It's like council culture has gone too far
Yeah
It's like nobody gets cancelled
Like what do you mean
Because they speak in such like
vague generalities
Yeah
Yeah of course I want people to have more grace
And for people to delve into the nuance
But that's not like
What it means when they say it
You know
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah may leave us with a cast of characters
At the helm
We will grow to regret
You mean like the situation
where we have 20, 30 people that like own the whole world.
Yeah, who have all been to Little St. James.
Number 10.
The psychologization?
That's a difficult to say.
Psychologization of modern politics.
Psychologization must be, yeah.
Of modern politics is leading us astray.
Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self who rely
too heavily on their internal life finding expression
in people they never meet
will be left disappointed.
But they're the ones
crafting that
landscape though. Yeah.
Aren't they? Aren't they directly responsible
for that attitude? Read it again.
Those who look to the political
arena to nourish their
soul and sense of self who rely
too heavily on their internal life finding
expression in people they never
may never meet will be left disappointed.
What the fuck, dude?
He was pulling up like the ladder type shit.
You can't like create the landscape.
You're being led astray by this mystical.
Yeah.
What?
11.
Our society has grown too eager to hasten and is often gleeful at the demise of its enemies.
The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.
And that's incredibly rich coming from.
Yeah, what the fuck?
Yeah, it's so like delusional.
In terms of...
Too eager to hasten, you mean like jumping in the deep end with
artificial intelligence technology?
Yeah, and fast-tracking like a surveillance state where you own all of our
private info.
Oh, here they directly address it.
Number 12, the atomic age is ending.
One age of deterrence, the atomic age is ending and a new era of deterrence built on
AI is set to begin.
That is scary that they see it so much through the lens of weaponry.
Yeah, it is something to be like pointed at people, kind of.
13.
No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one.
United States is far from perfect, but it's easy to forget how much more opportunity
exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation
on the planet.
Is that true?
I don't know
I would
like to
someone smarter than me to look into that
because I think that's whole shit
I mean yeah
how you defining that
a country that like
doesn't have any
like
security
safety net
no social safety net
has never had a woman as like a president
Yeah.
There's no, like, healthcare's fucked.
They get one black president and have a fucking meltdown and flip so extreme in the other direction.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I just feel like that's not true.
It's this weird thing in a American dialogue and American media where it's like, I know that we're the best country in the world.
It's like based on what?
Like what do you mean?
You can't just say that
Because it's your experience that that you've lived there your whole life
Yeah
You know like you can't say that based on nothing
Because that's it like sure
In theory your country is the wealthiest
It has like the most money
But other than that like what are you leading in?
I guess a military
Well done
Well done you can you can kill the most people
Cool.
Yeah.
But like how are your, you know,
misfortune?
How are your people who need a helping hand?
How are your veterans?
Yeah, when I saw, yeah.
You know the big, beautiful bill shit?
Mm.
Where they, I think, I'm trying to find the exact figure.
I think it was 90 billion has been committed.
to ice
specific just ice right 90 billion
that's taxpayer money dude
um 90 billion taxpayer
money just for ice let alone
everything else the military is doing like yeah
yeah um
yeah so that they're prioritizing
uh
a
a militia that execute
civilians in the streets
over uh
the like social security nets
um number 14
American power has made
possible an extraordinarily long
peace
too many have forgotten or perhaps
taken for granted that nearly a century of some
version of peace has prevailed in the world
without a great power military conflict
at least three generations
billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
have never known a world war
it's not that simple though is it
no that's that's ridiculous that
that genuinely
makes zero fucking sense.
It's like,
A, wrong.
Wasn't it like,
it was the unity and coordination
of a bunch of different countries, right?
Yeah, there's been,
yeah, the main difference now
is that there's a way bigger
gap between
has power and doesn't.
You know, that's changed things.
Yeah.
That's why there hasn't been a world war
is because nukes exist.
You know, and that's,
that's not through virtue.
you?
Yeah, it's a really disingenuous framing.
15, the post-war neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone.
This is a really fucking weird one.
What?
The defanging of Germany was an over-correction for which Europe is now paying a heavy price.
Put a bit in that.
A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained,
also threatened to shift the balance of power in Asia.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, what?
What do you actually mean?
like the neutering of Germany and Japan
when it was done
not only was fairly reasonable
considering the circumstance
but also look at them now
like
well plus look at
look at Japan now that place hasn't been
neutered enough
but like these are two of the biggest economies
in the world now
like yeah yeah yeah
um
like what are they trying to say with that
they haven't been like
they have they've barely even been
defang though because like
Japan
is still incredibly, like, socially conservative, and they still kind of view the world in the
same way.
You know, like, they have politicians.
They don't teach in school how, you know, that's weird.
It's kind of the inverse of Germany.
Yeah, yeah.
I think Germany's done.
Germany's a shining example of what you should do when you go a bit too fascisty,
you know?
Yeah.
America takes some pointers, though.
What an absurd thing to say.
And funnily enough, when Germany is less focused on, you know, just growing its military and conquering the world, it actually becomes a way wealthier, more successful country.
I'm trying to figure, is there arguments something to do with World War I?
And that, like, leading into World War II?
Well, no, because Japan did.
Yeah, they didn't mention.
Yeah.
The implication is World War II, saying Germany and Japan.
It's crazy to say we were two.
Nice.
You're too,
too mean to those nasty, nasty.
You were too hard on the Nazis.
Yeah.
Too hard on the fascist Japanese.
Like,
yeah,
that's so,
like,
what does that have to do with this?
Like,
what the fuck are they talking?
Like,
it's,
it's like a fucking unhinged,
like,
it's unbelievable,
though,
because,
like,
Peter Thiel,
the guy who owns Palantia,
right,
grew up,
in a Nazi
sympathizing environment
so when his
company that has a scary
amount of global power
international power
like our police has
in this country
in the UK
has deals with Palantia
so does the NHS
yeah like
so they have this global power
and this guy who grew up
in a Nazi sympathizing environment
his company
that has all this power
is saying we were too nasty to the Nazis.
With this being posted on a social media website
bought and owned by another
South African weird links to apartheid
family. Weird links to apartheid, weird links to straight up Nazis
and did an actual
sigile.
Yeah.
What?
Number 16, we should applaud those who attempt to build
where the market has failed to act.
The culture almost snickers at Musk's interest in grand narrative as if billionaires
ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves.
Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed
or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.
You know, it's so, like, dick-sucky of the tech elites, you know?
like
yeah
they're over exaggerating too
of like all the
all the credit
he's getting for these things
I just don't believe
it can't be as directly linked to him
as him being the genius
of him coming in
Tony Starking
it's not that like
if you actually look into
Elon Musk
and I think we lightly touched on it
on a job after hours
um
Elon Musk
yeah Elon around
but um
people he worked
with, like, they all have reported that he's, like, dumb.
I mean, maybe not actually, like, stupid, but, like, he's...
There's something going on with him.
Yeah.
But just look at, um, people track how often he tweets.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like, he doesn't sleep.
And where he is in the world and, like, the timings of it.
And it is really weird.
Like, yeah.
He must be, like, medicated on something.
He's always just, like, yeah.
Yeah, we know that.
Brain dumping on Twitter, I guess.
And Trump does the same, which is very weird.
Very strange.
This one's really scary, actually.
17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime.
Many politicians around the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime,
abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.
That's fucking scary.
That's robocop shit.
that's like yeah yeah straight up because like when you actually look at like a lot of these
stats like the UK is much safer than it's been in decades America I'm pretty sure is the same
yeah as far as violent crime is concerned unless you're um on the receiving end of like
unless you see a YouTube short or ice like uh yeah um yeah that's fucking crazy and they they they
God, that's scary
They don't address
the root cause ever
No
I feel like
The news and stuff
To this day
Still kind of exists in this
This space of
Like
60s comic book
View of the world
Yeah it's like
There are badies
You know
And it
It's binary
Everything's fucking binary
especially in America, it's so like
amplified like that. It's always
the Republicans, the Democrats,
the... Yeah, I've heard
some interviews with like
ex-military
like dudes
talking about their experiences and
conflicts and stuff.
And they always refer to the people they're fighting
as the bad guys.
Yeah. They always use that term
and it's like, this is
this feels like brainwashing.
This feels like you're framing it in such a way.
You have to dehumanize, right?
Yeah, and dehumanization is
maybe like the most dangerous thing.
Oh.
The most dangerous human weapon.
It's so easy to weaponize.
Yeah. Yeah.
18, the ruthless exposure of the private lives
of public figures drives far too much talent away
from government service.
The public arena and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves
Has become so unforgiving that the Republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual empty vessels whose ambition
One would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within
So like pointed like the way that this is written
It seems like someone like an Elon Musk who's pissed off
Are like getting hate thrown their way
Does that much deserved hate
Um, if that was, I've thought about this kind of thing before where it's like maybe
that joke of like, if you're like a hot, if Kiyosthama had like a cool voice, like I feel
if he just had a cool voice, he'd probably have way more support. Like people have fickle and like
really, uh, what's the word? Like, judgmental, you know, when it comes to like political
figure, but they care way too much about superficial shit, you know? Um, well, see, I,
because how much of it is with Trump
it's like
well that's what I didn't get with Trump
he's a lad, he's just like
yeah he's playful
he you can imagine having a drink with him
but when it comes down to it
he's a businessman and he puts his
businessman right on and he gets the job done
um
it's optics but
with Trump I don't get it
because like he's not cool in any way
he's got that stance
he's got the
centaer's stunt
yeah
he's got the
skin color
um
he's got orange
yeah the
the like orange skin and white eyes
thing is fucking weird
um
because I wondered that before if like
a government where you're like
your outfit basically covered your face
in some way
um
you had like a mask like the court of outs or some shit
so then like
it's just like
the red guy from the white shirt.
But then it would remove that kind of bias you'd get that like allows populace to like like
Nigel Farage to whip up support.
Yeah but um it's it's a tricky thing with populism because it does work both ways.
Um and it's it's like you can't to to counteract Farage.
You can't just become obsessed and
see like Zach Polanski as Jesus.
You know, that's, that's not going to get you into a better position because, like, if,
as a general rule, I mean, it's the, the age old absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
If you become, if everyone becomes obsessed with this one guy, that one guy or woman or
whatever is going to abuse that power and that position, you know, the, like, everyone's fallible.
Yeah, yeah.
19.
The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive.
Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.
The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive.
They're saying what?
Like the temperature's too high as a culture.
Which like it, I mean, yeah, it is, but like it's partially the fucking fault that that's
One, but I'm more getting the, like...
Unwittingly encourage, caution in public life.
What you mean through sensationalized, fucking aggressive algorithms?
I think it's another anti-cancel culture thing.
It's like people should be free to say what they want.
And I disagree with that.
But then they'll say something like this one, 20,
the pervasive intolerance of religious beliefs in certain circles must be resisted.
The elites intolerance of religious beliefs is perhaps one of
most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.
So presumably they're thinking about that and through the lens of like some idea of like Christian persecution in the US probably.
Right?
That's what like.
Yeah, I guess.
Because like Peter Thiel's religious, right?
In certain circles must be resisted.
I don't know because it's all like, it's clearly coded kind of.
Yeah.
And like.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean that I would agree with just based on like
I think any prejudice based on religion is stupid
Yeah, like on paper there's yeah, I thought it was one of the core tenets of America, wasn't it?
Like freedom of religion was supposed to be.
21, some cultures have produced vital advances, others remain dysfunctional and regressive.
All cultures are now equal, criticism and value judgments are forbidden,
yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures have produced wonders others have produced middling and worse regressive and harmful i just don't get what does this have to do with their their tech movement yeah we'll say what and yeah and this kind of the twenty two is similar as well we must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism we in america are more broadly and more broadly the west have for the
most part, sorry, for the past half century, resisted defining national cultures in the name of
inclusivity, but inclusion into what?
And these are all excerpts from the number one New York Times bestseller, the Technological
Republic, hard power, soft belief and the future of the West by Alexander C. Carp and Nicholas W.
Zimiska.
That's so fucking insane that they just like posted this on
Twitter they thought this was something that like and this is like legit this is their real
X account they thought they were cooking is this god even their um they're like bio on
Twitter is software that dominates is that is that fucking real software because like dude
software that dominates is this going to be like a troll account
No, because I've seen a lot of people talking about this, this crazy, the tweet.
The tweet.
Yeah.
And this weird manifesto.
Planta manifesto.
Yeah, here we go.
Yeah, I mean, it's real.
There's like loads of articles about it.
Ew.
But they're like already embedded into the NHS and shit now.
Yeah, yeah.
they're too big to fail
some funny reply
is 22 points on how to save Western civilization
written by a defense contractor
who profits from the wars they're describing
totally unbiased manifesto
we saw what you freaks did to the children in Gaza
go fuck yourself
preach
yeah preach
so when you want permanent war
it's George Orwell's 1984
verbatim
psychopaths.
Oh yeah, and then it always just leaves back around to that fucking image of Saruman with his hand over the Palantir.
Yeah, yeah.
That was the starting point.
That was your inspiration.
Why did you start with Palantir?
Like, it's evil.
It's just fully depicted as an evil thing in the book.
What the fuck, dude?
Yeah.
So that's one of those things that's like so beyond parodies.
like so just like
what
this weird like
Silicon Valley like
philosophy
so like evil
it's it's
it's beyond evil
it's
it's
it's crazier than the fucking Joker
yeah it's way worse than
than Joker
I would prefer if the Joker
I'm Palantia
genuinely like
I think he would be less evil
shit
who is the like
the closest equivalent
Peter T or Batman villain then
I mean not Batman but he feels like the closest thing to Lex Luthor
right in real life
yeah they all do actually kind of yeah
I think he's the closest one
like Palantia is crazy
yeah that fucking
that is a super villain
shit that's like
come he's like
Mysterio from
far from home
yeah
and like
if I was a bit of money down
I probably think they're the winners
they're like when you cut
to the Blade Runner like future
they're the ones with the buildings
the Palantta
yeah yeah the pyramid
it'll be like a big org
they'll live in the Vegas
the 58th like clone
of Peter Thiel
he's like Jared Lato's character
and Blade Runner
these weird drones and shit
cool man
because all these people are obsessed
with
um
giletto and having islands
cults
well i was going to say living forever
um
yeah
which they share with epstein
Epstein
was obsessed with that
idea as well
and they were all friends with Epstein
including pizza teal
and on that note
we'll see us
these messages
rankers on
BS5
out now
This is wild.
Some actual legend.
Simpsons theme.
Simpsons thing.
He cooked with the Simpsons thing.
Ging, gung, gong, gong, gong.
Absolutely legend.
I was practicing my jazz scales.
Yeah.
Doing some simp.
And then I found the...
Simp.
Really?
Yeah, because I played a wrong note, and I went,
duh,
duh, do.
And I was like, uh-oh.
And then I, like, worked it out.
So then I jumped on the guitar and I was like,
damn, damn, damn, damn, down,
damn, damn, damn, damn, dion, d'em, d'em, d'em, d'em,
you know, turn the electric guitar up to the max,
play with Green Day on the lake.
Do you ever listen to Oingo Boingo?
Huh?
It's like his band.
No, I haven't.
It's like a rock band, I think, from the 70s.
Yeah, Danny Elfman.
Good music's.
Men in Black.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Give that to Danny.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, welcome to the second half of the cast.
We head over to the suggestion thread over on the Jail Media subreddit
and plug some questions to talk about.
Well, if they're good enough on the group chat, I sometimes pluck them from there as well.
I've got three of those first.
You mean the great, the group chat over on, over on Patreon?
Oh yes, on the patron, of course.
On the patron, wow, where patrons get to interact in the group chat and leave us questions and bits and bobs.
If you got this far, leave a comment saying what Jim's about to say.
Frontside bill will prevail.
Frontside Bill will prevail.
Frontside Bill will prevail.
Frontside Bill is one of my Dark Souls 1 saves on my PC.
Really?
Yeah.
Front Side Bill, but side spell S-Y-D.
People have been enjoying your airport gym creation.
Really?
Yeah, with some even saying they've been stealing it for themselves.
Really?
Like they say their name, like airport.
Yeah.
Yeah, I figured.
Hey, I'm Airport Alex over here.
Wow.
I just kind of live here.
I wonder why.
I wonder why that's specifically resonating.
Something about it is emotional.
Can I tell you where it came from and then you edit it out?
Yeah.
I actually will.
Will you actually?
I will.
We had...
Right, let's do some comments then.
Let's start with this one from...
It's just two Japanese symbols.
From the group chat.
Updated thoughts on...
I knew I'd have nothing to say about this.
Nine-inch noise.
Now the album is out.
I genuinely think I prefer some of these versions to the original.
especially closer.
Yeah, I listen through this, the Coachella album.
Yeah.
Let me just say I wasn't impressed.
It's fucking amazing.
It's so good.
Some of the versions of these songs, heresies are real standout for me.
They mentioned the closer version is also amazing.
It's like an impeccable album, some great, great versions.
Yeah, it's just absolutely on fire.
this combo of boys noise
it's just really working out for him
can't wait to see what they do next
um
I'll absolutely fire
um
Hooper says
so are we not getting a Devon
trip report
as the only exit to Jalling
I'm disappointed
um yeah we did go to Devon
it was a few weeks ago now
yeah um
we didn't do that much
there was like a storm
it was like the inverse of when we went
yeah to um
we were
surrounded by um a bunch of like wind turbines yeah uh it was like it felt almost more remote
than the previous it kind of did yeah um saying that though the other one was super remote um
it was remote but there were more like people staying in the same like section yes yeah you're right
and see other people where this was no one what we saw it's just like a random dog and some sheep
yeah and one person well
one person who didn't even say a single word.
Yeah.
He just had a wheelbarrow full of wood for the hot tub.
And it was like, we were just unlucky with like there was a storm basically.
But it was cool.
Yeah, I don't have an issue with that personally because like we had.
Yeah, I'm glad that we've now had both.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, obviously last time we just explored outside more because it was like sunny and like 20 degrees.
Yeah.
Whereas, yeah, it was freezing and like the wind was so powerful.
The wind was insane.
Um, it took like.
Yeah, because the, the, the wind turbine.
should have been like a warning they were like a yeah true they were like a tease for
what's to come yeah because the wind went insane yeah and it was rainy and shit um
it was cozy there in the like little wood cabin with a wood burner and like yeah there just
wasn't that much to report yeah yeah well we went to beude on the last day which is a really
cool that's true yeah um i'd never been before you went when you were a kid i went in like year eight
For some character building thing.
Yeah.
Surfing or whatever.
Yeah, and but we got really nice weather this time.
Yeah, that day was good.
On Bude the last day.
Yeah, so I'd recommend Bude if you're ever.
Seaside Towns just have impeccable vibes.
Yeah, this one in particular is one of the better, less like, uh...
They can be tacky.
Less tacky.
But there is, I, there's almost a space for that as well, though.
Oh, for sure.
I'm sure fondness for the kind of tacky.
The, um, Newkey.
Yeah, Newkey's like that.
I love Newkey.
Yeah.
That shit's hilarious.
So yeah.
Definitely like going down there, though.
Yeah, same.
Lovely.
It's Trowbley.
So have you heard anything?
This one's from Thunder Slug.
He says, I imagine you'll already talk about the Bloodbourne animated movie.
Ha ha.
With potential of accompanying remaster, maybe.
And lame Eldon Ring live action movie.
movie. Um, let's start with the bloodborne one.
With the most noticeable thing, with it being like attached to Jack Septukeye,
of some reason? Yeah, I think that's funny. Quite weird. I think, um, he's just a producer.
Yeah, he is. Um, I saw an interview with, like, or part of an interview with him where he's
talking about it. Because there's been a lot of memes where it's like, people are excited for
a bloodbore movie. They hear Jack Septica is attached and they're like, oh, it's going to be shit.
Yeah. Um, which I think is kind of unfair.
I think...
I don't get it.
I don't get the association.
I understand that he is a huge fan.
Yeah, outside of that.
I think it's like he's obviously fucking rich as fuck.
And he's like, I just want to pay for this to exist.
Yeah.
Like, if he's a fan to that degree, he should use his power and influence to get Vati video involved.
He should be a producer.
Yeah, shit.
If he was like attached, then I feel like the confidence level would be very high, you know?
I mean,
to be honest
I kind of
if these movies come out and they're good
I will want a Dark Souls movie
I will and if
like Voughty would be the guy to go to
because he knows that shit
you know and he'd need to like
be a he'd need to read through the script
before because yeah yeah if he's against
anything then it's like
yeah that's not gonna be like he's like you know
like they have basically law masters
for like big franchises that have
basically their Bible and like
um
He's like got the Bible.
Yeah.
Yeah, Vati is from soft Jesus.
Yeah.
And Thunderslug seemed to find the Eldon Ring live action movie lame.
Yeah.
I kind of have an inverse thing.
I wouldn't put money on it being good necessarily at the moment.
But Alex Galand...
I can trust him.
Writing and directing, I think the production is at least going to be interesting.
Yeah.
Some of those leaked things look like...
I don't know, there's something, especially from like 28 years in Civil War and some of that stuff.
If you have concerns about the Alderman Ring movie, watch the 28 years later movies.
Yeah.
Because he's attached to those movies and...
He wrote the script, so...
Yeah.
And he's obviously a...
And he's a producer as well.
Yeah.
But I think visually, there are moments in 28 years later, specifically the first one, where they, they pass through some like,
old ruins and stuff.
Yeah.
They stay in a church at one point.
And I remember watching that movie and there was first talks about the
Elder Ring movie happening by Alex Garland.
And I was like, oh shit, maybe this could work.
Yeah.
Don't know what they're going to do on a plot level?
Like how Lucy's going to go with that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I kind of like the idea of it being Vike.
Vike story.
Vike is the guy like on the Elder Ring front cover who's like nearly.
Yeah.
he
gets hugged
he gets embraced by the three fingers
um
and gets corrupted by like
yeah
so it has to be weird
and I guess the fact of like
824 in these people
yeah it's it kind of has to be somewhat vague
I don't think you should come out of it knowing
yeah everything
um
but also has to have some level of like spectacle
to the visuals
Yeah.
Atmosphere.
Do you think the Bloodbore movie is going to be Spider-verse animation stuff?
Oh, fuck.
Probably.
It's like cheaper at this point to do it that way.
It seems that way.
That's why they do it.
Like, generally.
Unless it's Spider-Bus.
Yeah, then it's way more.
They actually have to, like, have production lines of people being tortured, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Get it out.
They actually just need the blood of tortured.
I was thinking about that when I was driving back from somewhere yesterday,
and I was thinking about the Spider-verse art style trend thing.
And it was like, what would be the most unfitting, like, combo?
Because, like, this month we're getting, like, a Stranger Things,
Spider-verse-style TV show.
What the part?
It's like the cast of characters except they added this, like, fucking O-C that look.
It's so crazy.
Of course they do.
Okay, that's going to be good.
The Palantia movie in Spider-Vist.
Yeah.
The Peter Thiel biopic in, um...
Just called Peter.
The sequel to be teal.
And they can have, like, the devil horns hidden, like, in the past.
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
Wow.
So, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know about the flood bomb.
I'm kind of excited.
for both. More Eldon Ring,
I'll be honest. I have more hope
in the Eldon Ring one having a level
of quality, but
annoyingly... As long as it's animated.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think doing Sakero as an anime
is cool.
Yeah.
I'm sure that's going to be good.
Bloodbourne, I wonder if it would
have... if it would
be
fitted more to live action.
You reckon?
Yeah, I wonder.
It would just need such a high budget though, with all the like creatures and scale of it really.
You know, the environments and everything, it's kind of like gothic.
I feel like the environments, like if you can do Batman.
Yeah, but they're like so expensive.
Yeah.
You know?
What would be, right?
Well, they're spending like a hundred million, I think, for the Eldon Ring movie.
Which is pretty considerable for A-24 to be putting down.
Is it?
I don't know what, um, like, budgets are these days.
But...
I wonder what the budget is, because they're doing that fucking stupid, um...
The Zelda live action movie.
Yeah.
That, that I truly think is gonna be dog shit.
Yeah, why would you not just animate that?
Yeah, that's one where it definitely should be animated.
But like, you really have it.
It's mona-okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, likely exceeding 100 million dollars and potentially reaching up to 200 million or more.
For Zelda?
For Zelda.
Right.
The director of the Maze Runner movies and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
We're in good hands, my friends.
He's going to make one hell of a normal movie.
Yeah, it's going to mean there's normal movies.
Yeah, I don't know.
I as a rule I think video game movies are fucking stupid
I'm a I am a little bit concerned
seeing like you sent me the the dung eater leaked thing
yeah they're like throwing poop at the dung eater
and it's like dude he's just gonna eat it
so like seeing that leaked thing actually kind of was
for me was like uh okay
well to me it's like a big ass production
well I thought does this mean like they're filming
the intro cut scene
and then just like doing
Eldon Ring like
the story
it'll be impossible in two hours to do
to get through all these locations
contextualize any of it
is it going to be following just like a nameless
tarnish doing like the first
dungeon or like beating
more got
I don't know
or Margit. Spoiler alert
but how do you even that's what I mean
it's like I'm sure you could do something if you
if it was based in a different time period of the universe
you know and like have some drama going on with
yeah i don't know about because the the
plot of eldom ring that you play in the game
there isn't all that much going on
it's designed around being a game
so like making a movie on that i don't really understand
if it's like vike story
so like vike
all the all the vike stuff happens
like relatively shortly
before the main game.
Like that's cool.
Like you can flesh stuff out there
and make a movie with themes and shit.
I don't want to,
I don't really want to just see.
Yeah, one-to-one thing seems stupid.
Yeah, and it would just beat the whole point
because the whole thing is that
Oldham Ring is like the most open game ever made.
Uh-huh.
So what would be the point of then just
Yeah, yeah.
Telling that story in as linear way as possible.
Yeah, I'm...
I can almost see a Dark Souls movie even more.
I can see like a shape of that more than an Alderman one, you know?
There's more like of a structure.
There's like a beginning, middle and end to Dark Souls.
But I guess Outerring's just like bigger.
I sold more copies than any Souls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
Well, because Spooky Wagons also said, I was wondering what you last think about the upcoming.
Eldon Ring movie adaptation, as there have recently been photos of a really convinced,
looking church of America in the south of the UK. I really, really hate the recent
phenomenon of video game movies, but Alex Garland seems to genuinely care about the game and
personally pitched it to Miyazaki. Do you guys have any hope at all? I know Alex is pretty
down on the recent onslaught of video game adaptations in general, but would love your
thoughts. Yeah, I largely agree that just mining it for IP is like the main
motivation for it happening. Like now the superhero kind of stuff is like the bottom's
falling out. It's like shit, we need a new thing to mine.
As in like video games in general.
Video game IP.
Yeah.
You know, Mario uncharted, fallout, whatever.
And I think most games do not lend themselves to adaptation that well.
But there are, I think there are some that actually could work, but it would be hard.
It would be like, you actually have to do the work.
In the same way, like, when you're adapting a book, like that's a process.
There's like a really important thing going on there that's difficult and challenging.
and you're changing mediums and the like the path of least resistance is often taken with them you know
like uncharted having like a papa john's like sequence you know it's like fuck you like how anyone
is that actually a thing and yeah there's a whole like scene where like Mark Wahlberg's like
stuck in a Papa Johns and it's like bro it's it's fucking unwatchable i don't know how anyone like forgives
that film like yeah
Yeah, that film nearly made me turn on Tom Holland entirely.
Until he was like, like, I'm never doing a film like that again.
He knew that shit was donkey.
Yeah.
The religious jarling says, what would you do if God came down one day and said,
it's pronounced Jode, then left.
What is goad?
J-O-D-E.
Jod.
Oh, God, goad.
Jod.
Oh, Jod.
It's pronounced Jod.
Um,
you've all been saying it quite wrong indeed.
I'd start saying Jod, I guess.
Hmm.
I still wouldn't believe in him.
No, I would.
I'd go full.
Really?
Peter Thiel, you're my God.
Peter Jode, you're my God.
Flesaken Village says,
thoughts on Stroud. I recently re-listened to a COVID-era episode, I believe it was episode 210, and got whiplash when Alex mentioned how at one point he wanted to live in Stroud, why? That's all.
Stroud's cool. It's not even necessarily that I wanted to live there. It was that that's what I was going to have to do.
I think Stroud would be a cool place. I was going to go to college there was what was going to happen. I was going to live with our Nana.
Hello, Nana.
Yeah, Stroud is cool.
Nice hippie vibes.
Yeah, I think it's...
A goblin shop there?
Yeah, that's a nice...
It's always good when you stumble upon a goblin shop.
I'm going to say something kind of...
Crikey.
Go for it.
I think Stroud is like the coolest place I've been to in this country.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't know what I'd give that, to be honest.
I don't have to think about that.
it's cooler than London
for sure
I think it's cooler than Brighton
I think it's cooler than Bristol
I need to go back to Brighton
yeah
yeah I don't know
I think it's cooler than
um
oh I was gonna say the end
from Minecraft
but the end of Dragon is kind of cool
nothing's cooler than that
um
it's probably another good one
uh
a J Hunter
yeah
Says Bear Bear.
Bear.
What do you guys genuinely think of the Jowling of the Week phenomenon,
wherein multiple people, or the same deranged individual,
tries to make themselves a JAR meme?
And which of these twisted individuals are the worst?
Evil Jarling, Final Afternoon, Saurin, Lover, Captain Jackoff, etc.
Do you find it funny or cringe or just sad cringe,
or perfectly done, somewhere in between?
Give each one of those a C, B, or T, cringe-based or tough,
evil jarring.
Oh, but like, do I have to assign one each?
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're assessed individually, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Evil jarling.
Evil jarling?
I think is tough.
Really?
I think evil jarling is tough.
Final afternoon?
Final afternoon.
Final afternoon is kind of an OG.
Let me skip final afternoon for now.
Sorin lover.
Sorin lover is cringe.
But what about the song and everything?
The song's goaded and stuff, but, um, you know, I'm pretty sure in GTA 5, our, like, clan was the Sorin lovers.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
So, but that's kind of clever on their behalf, because there's already the conspiracy theory that I make all of these and they're just my alts.
So that was actually quite a play because it makes it seem even more convincing than something I would pull.
But that's also cringe.
Yeah.
I'm going to stick me a cringe and then give final afternoon
base.
And Captain Jackoff?
He's a new one.
He's a new kid on the block.
He can be another cringe.
And then they got, in their replies under this question,
they got into a fight with each other.
Who investigative replied saying,
love that half of these are just Alex on his old account.
Captain Jack's off said,
I am unrelated to the past people, I swear,
and I try not.
to say Captain Jack off. That's crass
and just plain wrong. I often
say Captain Jacks off
to a new journey perhaps.
But seriously, it is sad, cringe with
nuggets if funny, but at least there's something else to talk
about other than Halo or MCU Netflix
shows. Then Pawnee perfectly
done, replied to that saying, he's lying.
He is the evil darling. It is
foretold in the ancient Pawnee scrolls.
The final afternoon comes in and shuts it all down.
Fair for the others, but I ascended
freak of the week a long time ago,
cummy. My quest spanned
years and my mentions were in the
dozens. Not to mention the quality
of the questions. The others are all
copies and frauds. I am the original
not that I don't enjoy the exploits
of others, of course.
Imitation, good flattery or whatever they say.
Kind of
fucking
excuse me, kind of a Thanos moment there.
Yeah. You just
like, Captain Jacks off's like the Hulk
and Thanos is like,
Boom.
Who's Luke Cage and who's Jessica Jones?
If we're talking MCU Marvel shows.
Luke Cage is, I think, Dreamoff or 2-1-4-2.
Jessica Jones is, let's think about the characteristics of Jessica Jones.
Kind of fiery.
Noble.
Noble.
Kind of, no, noble.
Heroic.
No, vindictive.
Jessica Jones
Crass
She's not
In aggressive
Yes she is
She's a hero
She's crass
She's badass
Well I'd never deny she's a badass
Ha
Ha ha
My voice keeps raking and it's making me
Her letter
So someone like
Someone made like a million different accounts
And just
I assume it's the same person?
Because there's like the slippy jarling, ocean dwelling jarling, gentle jarling,
review tech media.
Do you want any of those?
I want the review tech one.
Okay, they say, what's up everyone?
This is rich of review tech jar.
Today news story comes in from Cranker 95 on Xbox.
Police report that a violent boy in small town Arkansas set fire to a local church after his pastor told his mother to tell his father
not to let him play rankers on PlayStation 5 for 24 or more hours in a row daily.
Authorities arrived at the scene and gave him a harsh verbal scolding for his actions,
though doctors now believe he'll now make a full recovery.
But who's really to blame?
Now, on to the question of the day.
What's the craziest most insane thing you've ever done for a game?
This is Rich of ReviewTech, JAR, signing out.
Have a good one.
Thank you, Rich.
Thank you, Rich.
Thank you, Rich.
Thank you, Rich.
you rich, thank you rich.
The most insane thing I've done is
I think that Rayman game.
Ooh, yeah, that was crazy.
I've never done shit like that.
Rayman Legends was it?
You were logging in on the daily.
Just for five minutes a day.
Yeah, yeah.
But that was like your priority.
Yeah.
At the time.
I can't remember if it was Rayman Legends or Rayman Origins.
Origins, the second one.
Yeah, the second one.
had like a
challenge system or some shit
what a belter of a fucking game
though no it was like
PVP
yeah you're like
race ghosts ghosts or something
Ghostses
Duty ghostss
I don't know if it was origins
I think it was the other one
Rayman Revelations
yeah
yeah
and they just have this crazy music
and everything
yeah
I can't believe that they're over
fucking hell
13 years old
Rayman Legends
No
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Um
So true
Insane thing you've done
For a game
Uh
For the love of the goddamn game
Crair
The craziest thing I've done for the game
I don't know
I don't think my feet
You got Enduro
In Halo ADST right
That was easy
That was hard
That was for children
Um
I'd say like
The furthest I've gone
Is just like all the riddler trophies
In all the Batman games
Yeah that's a pretty good one
That's a classic multiple times
That's a classic
Multiple times is crazy
Multiple times is crazy
And I don't like
Yeah
I just had to get the fucking riddler
I do like in
Um
It's mad disappointing
In Arkham Asylum when you get him
So you just get like a
cool just like it was clearly all just like added at the end yeah yeah oh no i've been caught type
shit and batman doesn't even say anything um but in arkham city you get to like explode his
fucking head and then you attach him to the bomb thing that he attached all the doesn't he get like a
meck at some point that's in night yeah hello i've got the fucking normal meck i've got crazy
feelings about arkham night man we don't like it just um you replayed it recently yeah yeah a lot
of mixed feelings. The whole game? Yeah.
Not the Ridler Trophies.
Is it mixed feelings as in lots of gameplay encounters,
awesome, story stupid? Yeah.
And annoying? Yeah, the story is really
annoying. Um,
mostly, like, I don't really like how it ends.
Because, like, it did the thing that, like,
that Christopher Olin started, where it's, like,
Batman isn't a guy. He's,
He's a legend.
He's like, he's more than a guy.
He's, uh...
The Spider-verse movies do the same thing, kind of.
In a much more elegant way, I would say.
The concept of what Spider-Man is as a hero and like, who can be-
Well, no, I feel like Miles, like in those movies, um, it's like, Spider-Man is this thing.
Miles is still Spider-Man, but he's doing it a different way.
Yeah, you know, and he's still
Spirre, and it's, isn't that kind of why it's saying, though?
It's like, it's, yeah.
It's more than just this one dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whereas the Batman thing, like, the ending of Arkham Knight, spoiler alert.
When he, I can't actually remember.
Well, he, he, like...
You get, like, poison.
His face...
Yeah, I like the shit.
If, like, I'm cool with him getting poisoned, getting the venom.
Because the Joker shit.
And then he has the Joker shits.
I'm cool with that.
That's fun.
And then his, like, helmet gets taken off.
off and then everyone knows
he's Bruce Wayne and then he just goes home and
explodes
um
like literally and then everyone's like oh I guess
he's dead
um but Batman's still like doing stuff and it's
like oh no he's just like full
timing Batman
I don't remember that at all
yeah really
and then it shows at the end
like I never gave the shit about the story in that game
yeah it's it's pretty disappointing
um
Yeah, it was just too reminiscent of that, that wrath of Khan bullshit with J.J. Abrams, you know,
where, like, we're not going to do this thing with the story.
Oh, right, yeah.
And then they just do that thing with the story.
Yeah, because that whole Red Hood stuff just doesn't land.
Like, because before I played that game, I watched the animated movie under the Red Hood.
Yeah, yeah, same.
Which is, like, the best animated movie Batman shits in recent.
It's like the best animated DC movie.
other than like the old school shits.
What about the, um,
I can't remember how dark night returns.
That's good, yeah, that is good.
I see any other one I can think of really.
But Dark Night Returns has its own issues being like a,
it's like an else world story.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I get what you're saying.
It's not like a Batman Batman story.
Whereas under the Red Hood is,
that's actually worth.
I just thought it would be cool if they just did that story or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why not just do your version?
Do it with like the emotional impact.
like that it just doesn't land when it's like you're playing the third game in a trilogy
and you're establishing something that happened before the first game in the
yeah to then be incorporated into that story and it's like that doesn't really work it's
weirdly like um kind of member berryish where you need to like it's the joke of when like
franchise and things get so deep where it's like you're on phase four of marvel and they're
referenced some TV shows yeah yeah i'm not i can't keep up with all this shit like yeah
yeah
Yeah.
But equally not like alluding to anything is,
it feels raccony.
It feels like it's being made up as it goes along.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting an Arkham Knight.
Yeah, I don't know why that popped out, but.
Sure.
I've been watching a little bit of the animated series again.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I finished the, the Two-Face, like, double episode.
um good ship
good shit
rest in peace cav
rip
and on that note
we'll leave you with a little xd
equals
what is it equals three
equals three yeah
equals three makes uxd
equals three does make uxd
to be fair
