Hello and welcome back to uh fucking i started jarvis johnson gold intro let's just do it welcome to sad boys a podcast about feelings and other things also i'm sleepy gold let's go let's go to the gold go to the gold i can't talk about pokemon go i can't stop playing this fucking game i was struggling because i've thought about more than once starting a channel called jarvis johnson go i can i'm not fucking kidding you did the same idea last night just deliriously i because you know sometimes you want to play pokemon go but you're lying down yeah and then you do and you're like i wish the guys would come here that's where that's where i've started um i've been playing the go battle league, which is like the PPP. So I can do that while lying down.

And I also just hope that people in my Discord invite me to remote raids. And I can just tap, tap from my phone. Shout out to the Pokemon Go League for empowering my thumb. The strongest thumb user in the galaxy. Yeah, I was going to say, so we got to get the Pokemon Go talk out of the way. We're still playing. And we have now played in person. We are gathering a cohort of people.

Yesterday, there was Minky Spotlight Hour. Yeah. And Jordan slept through it. I did. It was pretty early. Yeah, it was super duper early 6 p.m local time um and uh uh we got a good group together and we walked around um we walked around town and i did catch a shiny manky respect um so shout out to me yeah i saw that i saw him

yeah another one yeah and uh it was good we had like six people um and there's a photo i don't like being photographed or seeing people that recognize me and stuff when i'm playing pokemon go because i'm not it's almost like being caught with your pants down when somebody like opens like a bathroom stall that you're inside of because there's a small level of embarrassment and i'm like a heavy sweater so i'm usually like sweating and like not in my best form for meeting someone and uh yeah i'm at my least capable yeah i think it's like drunk driving i don't know what way that's fun yeah it should be it should be allowed pokemon smear to the road reality blending reality blending my god around a bowl

um but i also this weekend watched this is a pokemon go cast it's a podcast about pokemon go and other things also um i go go i watched uh pittsburgh regionals because now so i follow pokemon tcg i watch the the tournaments that they have and I play. Not as much as I'd like, but I do watch the regional tournaments and the international tournaments in the worlds. And so there was an international in Pittsburgh. There was a Pokemon Go event. I did watch it. And competitive Pokemon Go, very similar to the go battle league a lot of people

think i need to like go on a pr tour for unpaid pr tour for pokemon go where i explain that like even though the competitive battling looks like tap tap there's like because you're just like tapping there's a remarkable amount of nuance to the to the to the play where i'm learning it now and i'm like impressed you know what i mean i'm impressed with like how much dip there is to how simple it appears for a pvp that's supposed to be accessible to a lot of yeah yeah they probably don't play any PvP in any setting. No, 100%. Even in any other games. Yeah, no, so it's cool.

I mean, like... And yet they beat me all the fucking time. There's, yeah, because there's, like, there's the speed at which you're gathering, the energy, there's... When do you play your shields? When do you play your shields?

There's baiting. Baiting, there's switching. There's safe switching, which is, like, the con... There's different lineups. There's, like which is like the con there's different lineups there's like abb lineups aba lineups there's uh what is it called charge move priority there's just like a lot of stuff and uh i do have i want to give a shout out to um the people who listen to the show and play pokemon go i've gotten a few people who are like really high,

like ranking PVP people. And I've just been hitting them up in the DMs and asking them dumb questions about stuff. And they're being very helpful to me. And- Was Jesus real? Yeah, the questions are not about Pokemon Go. Not even closely related.

A big human skull. Yeah. But anyway, the month is packed full of pokemon go events there's so much coming they just announced the psychic event so there's going to be a bunch of psychic pokemon i'm boned genesect and raids i'm excited about the legendary beasts are coming back to raids for the first time entei raikou suikun are coming back to raids the third week of this month for the first time in like many years.

So I'm very excited. And they're shiny eligible. So. Did I tell you I missed out on a Zapdos? Really nice. Rare Zapdos. Rolled out. Shiny Zapdos.

Shiny? Guess who dropped the bag? It's Vizivili. Oh no. Yeah. It sucked. It was in Glendale. Oh no.

That's very sad. Yeah yeah it was bad for me um i i will say um i don't want to talk about yeah i'm actually not pissed i'm actually laughing it was so funny yeah it was hilarious okay on the bright side on the bright side the shiny rates for those raids are 1 in 64 and they are coming that zapdos will be in raids for every weekend for the next 80 days oh my god really so yeah so for this entire season that shadow zapdos is in raids so we will have like lots of opportunities to get it oxy got uh the shiny zapdos when we were out this weekend in little tokyo cool nice goodbye well she always gets the fucking shiny yeah all right so anyway i'm hitting my excellence but like i guess that doesn't mean it doesn't

mean anything i guess yeah i just i talk about them on the show i get for no money i uh the i have unironically said I did everything right when I used a golden raspberry and hit an excellent throw what do you want from me? I'm doing everything right and you were running away from me I am flying to Japan today

what is happening? so now I cannot wait until we have to travel for something because getting all the foreign Pokestops I've been like evangelizing i'm fucking i you i won't talk about in the show because i don't even want to get into it but there's like for bad reasons i might need to visit the uk yeah and it the one little shining light is like yeah it's some look i don't know what's available in the greater rural area yeah

this is just a man hello there me lovers you didn't you didn't trap me in a bowl they would they would be fine with it

um good me lovers yeah oh yeah that's hey look we've been doing this show for a long time come on hey dude we contractually blights keep doing this um yeah no oh wait this is the last

thing so russell uh my friend russell who i grew up with who lives in new york city i'm like you live in new york city you need to be playing pokemon go and uh and you need to play this game which really puts you at risk of getting hit by traffic yeah he's he lives in your city which is incredible and so he went into the office because like he works in tech he's an android developer he um uh he went into work like it's like he works from home some days of the week he He goes in some days. And today was the first day he walked into work after starting to play Pokemon Go regularly. And he just realized how good the area that he's around. Oh, my God.

That's not... Oh, my God. I know, dude. It's crazy. I will say, anybody sees us having a little sit down at the Glendale Philzil's coffee i can record i can recommend it four poker stops in sitting range i did so i was we had the making spotlight hour i show up to the phil's which was our meeting spot which might change so don't get luckily we don't none of us live there so like or do we or do we hey now. Maybe we live inside of the film. I'm even behind you right now.

And I was sitting down. You just kissed the back of my head. I was sitting down with my... Oh, I have a gift for you. A shiny Zapdos. I found him. Close your eyes. Oh.

God, I hope he's still here. Okay, so... Hi, kiss me in the back of the head. Okay, open your eyes again. I'll give you the your eyes. Oh. God, I hope he's still here. Okay, so. Hi, kiss me in the back of the head. Okay, open your eyes again. I'll give you the gift in a second. But anyway, I was sitting down in the fills with my Go Plus, which is my like Pokeball stop spinner thing. And I was resting my eyes because I knew I was going to have to stare at my phone for

an hour. And I was like, let me just like not strain my eyes right now sometimes that happens i'm just gonna put some like cold stuff on my eyes let me just chill and then my pocket was buzzing because it was spinning all the polka stops and then the three polka stops were forward that are right there it just like kept buzzing every five minutes and i was like oh this feels so good i was like watching a true crime video about a horrible murder and uh and that while the the polka stops were buzzing and i was getting the ultra balls and gray balls needed to complete my quest it is a really weird uh game to like hybrid play well i mean i very rarely

am i playing a game or really doing anything without some secondary media yeah you know a vaccine against spending any time with my own mind you know what i mean been there there and they're currently there right now i'm laughing i don't know what i said i did the podcast with airpods in i'm like watching hasan stream while like uh talking fake socialist oh man did you hear about the lives in our house what the heck can be one of those people in the chat that's funny, but it's hard to tell if they're joking initially. It's like, nice face, you

fucking idiot. And then he looks and it's 40 months subscriber. Hassan's house way smaller than I thought it was going to be. Not because of... It's a lovely house. No, it's an incredible house, but the internet made me think

he bought a chateau the way it's pitched i literally thought it was like a 15 room yeah no literally it's just a hot like it's such a normal house it's just a nice no it's a nice house and no if i'm not trying to like shit on his house but when he walked in here he was like you should be canceled for this because I got cancelled I get cancelled for my renting yeah for your rented apartment because I'm a rentoid yeah because you're a rentoid and you live in a

place that has a lot of similarly shaped rooms and units lock me up oh what I'm so are you serious what at least it's worth it all right here's your gift let's go oh fuck yeah i i mean maybe i'll start to the camera

if i remember correctly java says two of these devices they basically function as a um hey you playing pokemon go really really actively would you like to be playing it even more even those milliseconds where your phone is in your pocket yeah it's like it so basically it spins poke stops and can throw pokeballs and catch pokemon with you passively so like if you're like driving in the car or something where your phone's like in your pocket or whatever away from you it's just like you casually are getting items and getting like pokemon you might discover a shiny that you caught like i did the other day i wasn't keep track of your sleep with the press of a button oh yeah i

also do that it works with pokemon sleep and it and it works with a pokemon. If you connect it, you can, if you start tracking your sleep, there's a few benefits. But one of the best ones is you can get Snorlax with a sleepy hat. What the hell? Yeah. How is that fair for me not having that? Yeah. I never get, I do everything right. Yeah.

So now they're indicting you. Yeah. I'm a box with Pikachu printed on it. Yeah, I do everything right. Yeah. So, and now they're indicting you. Yeah. I'm a box with Pikachu printed on. Yeah. I'm actually, I so imagine I'm like a dinosaur. Okay. But,

uh, you know, some people may not, I'm good at this. What people may not know is, well, some people mentioned it in the past. There's a very decent possibility that a lot of dinosaurs had feathers,

which is funny. True. Yeah. Cause cosmetically, it's just not what we think of. Yeah. so also what do we talk about when we do this asmr sometimes people think i think usually it's like a role play situation or something right but anyway um i'm a diet a lot of people a surprising amount of people think that dinosaurs died from a meteor hitting them.

Like hitting them all at the same time. Like a shotgun. Maybe because they haven't really given much thought to that. Impacted the atmosphere and stuff. It made it inhabitable for... Changed the capacity of the climate. Yeah, they just... It was no longer able to breathe and stuff. They made it inhabitable for... Changed the capacity of the climate. Yeah. It was no longer able to breathe and stuff. I actually don't understand it much myself.

I just know they all stick it in. Like a shotgun blast of asteroids. A guy coming up to a TED talk holding just like a fifth of vodka with a straw in it. He's just like, yeah, i don't know if that's fucking i don't know a lot about it myself um you see jurassic park yeah i haven't watched it yet

but i saw the second jurassic world not good but yeah sorry i didn't i'm not the guy this i got lost so i'm just on stage now Would you do a TED talk? Would I ever? Yes I would You know him right? Ted yeah he's coming on the podcast It's actually Ted Nivison That will be a TED talk But I don't have anything good to say I think I would just have to talk about

I would probably have to be one of those people Who tells a personal story about their life I could be Big Lear style. Because I don't think I could really be like, here's how you become successful or something like that. Like, I couldn't do that because your mileage may vary. But I could be like, hey, here's the life I lived. If that helps you. Yeah.

Here you go. I won't forget. Because I was like, where's my label maker? By the way, big fan of label makers. The best. I was like, where's my label maker? Because we will mix ours up of label makers. The best. I was like, where's my label maker? Because we will mix ours up. And I already.

Oh, the bowls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to mix our bowls up. I just want to say to the audience that I have a pair of left-handed scissors because I'm left-handed. And if you are a left-handed person, I recommend getting left-handed devices so that your right-handed friends have to experience what your life has been like. Because every time I use right-handed scissors, my hand hurts. Oh, my hand. Uh-huh.

Yeah, that's the sound of somebody who doesn't. I give it to you and you're like, ow, this fucking hurts. Let me try it. Oh, my hand. I guess I could go for the old uh the kind of hendrix you know i did try to learn guitar upside down because i'm left-handed and i just like the inconvenience of it all i didn't want it bad enough you know i got the kindest message that said hey i think i saw you at santa monica Beach last-ish week.

You did. I was playing Pokemon Go, but we don't have to talk about that. I really wanted to say hello and tell you I really enjoy your videos and maybe ask for a pic together. But being a native New Yorker in that moment, I knew better than to approach public figures who were just trying to live their lives. And I was like, this is an example of how considerate our audience is but it's okay to come up to me yeah no i like it i still i just find it very flattering unless it unless i'm like in the middle of something where in that case i may have looked really intensely into something which is entirely possible like if i was fighting a raid boss or something and you came and talked

to me which did happen at santa marica pier one time and i did take a picture with someone i was in line while doing a raid they came up to me they were talking to me and so i took the picture and i just put my phone behind my back and continued tapping hell tapping that thing because i wasn't about to flame out of that request requaza raid um you're up past your bedtime and it's time to stop gaming so you just have to be like really quiet oh boy did i do that big mistake getting me the game boy lamp foolish you know the little like the little light that like would plug into the game boy we're too old yeah like that little light that looks like an angler fish yeah yeah um and i have such vivid memories of just refusing to

get off the toilet because i was playing this mario like luigi superstars i was like under the covers playing pokemon and i was like i don't think my mom was gonna like come in you know what i mean it'd be like ha this is a random test of whether or not you're asleep man i miss every now and then i think to myself like what it's funny how when i was a little boy and then you know i wasn't responsible didn't take care of myself and i say like that has not at all changed i am the same way it's just that what will the reason i don't eat as much fast food as i would i would have as a child given the option is because now I feel like I'm dying. Yeah.

That's, yeah. I did pull a Canadian Jarvis move. Yes. I ordered Maccy D's early in the morning. Oh, yes. I see what you mean. And I fell asleep early. Oh, the real Jarvis gambit. Fell asleep at 5 a.m woke up at 8 30 a.m

realize i'd missed out on it and i don't know what the i don't know if this is how this fits into the the five second rule universe three or four hour rule yeah i yeah i did chow down yeah oh yeah hey i've been there i this happened in um when we were in canada this is why it's a canadian driver's move i don't know if we talked about this on the show we may have i got a a couple like dessert items from canadian mcdonald's because they were different and i was like i want to try them but i ordered them at night and i fell asleep before they arrived and then when i woke up it was so cold outside that i was like this is basically a refrigerator so i i did something even riskier which was i drank chocolate milk that had been sitting for four or five hours outside

but it was like 50 or 40 degrees fahrenheit so i think it was fine if that's bad i guess you can't eat cheese that's old dude freaking yes how about use your brain people yeah i'm just throwing up you can't eat cheese i'm so sick i love cheese and i don't know what to do about it like it's a problem yeah like i um i think i just love the consistency of specifically what's the let me give a little shout out sargento which sounds like the guy who did the whip and nene song sargento it's silento but yeah anyway sargento not sponsored like mozzarella or string cheese sticks oh yeah i've seen reduced fat because i want to eat more of them and i want to feel less guilty about it right so if i get full fat then it costs me and not cost me but i think it's like i got yeah i got the reduced fat ones for guilt

reasons and uh i just i'm num num num num num num num so good eat them with crackers eat them without crackers chomp on them don't pull the string cheese just go full feral with respect yeah i'm i'm personally i'm a big advocate for eating foods in a way that bothers annoying people. Biting straight into a KitKat front on. Grow the hell up. I don't care. Grow up, dude. If you're chewing all the sides off, you're having a worse culinary experience overall.

Oh, you're getting chocolate all over your hands so that you can individually break off a piece of that KitKat bar. Grow the frick up. Grow the hell up, dude. It doesn't matter. You don't listen to our it doesn't matter dude just sign up for the patreon that's all we ask okay five dollars a month and you get every episode but don't listen don't even listen dude actually go for the 15 and don't listen the more

you pay the less you listen dude i was thinking maybe like one time we do a like a pilot for the pokemon go boys or something oh that would be fun i i wonder if you would be interested in that yeah it's one of those things where no way in hell we could put it out publicly but maybe if there's like super invested people once a month go boys have you seen how well so first of all irl streamers that are um what's the word what's the word for like a person who's viewed poorly by society yeah like ice problematic yeah scum in the case like like ice beside and i believe got started with irl streaming streaming pokemon go oh interesting yeah wow is it i thought he said longer than that i guess yeah but i think it was 2016 yeah um i don't know that for sure maybe i could check like a bad famous birthdays

esque website um yeah shout outs to a different famous birthdays related site that decided to one up how wrong famous birthdays vanilla was about me and has bumped my age to four years older than i am thank you for that uh glad i look like that could be viable. Doesn't hurt. I'm actually laughing. I will say that IRL streaming. So obviously he did old school RuneScape first. But when he did IRL, it began with Pokemon Go. Dude, I don't. What is with the, I would say the percentage ratio of IRL streamers being sociopaths is a lot higher than any other.

Yeah, which has made me second guess my own thoughts about IRL streaming or about myself IRL streaming. Though we do have more friends who have done more IRL streaming stuff like Sandwich. Yeah, we have people, but usually it's people who are like it's supplemental to that the thing they've been doing or they've been doing right like if you're an irl streamer by trade like it's all you do i do think it can create the feeling of viewing all of life as a game yes oh yeah dude it feels like uh you know all those there's like a bunch of movies and tv shows from the 80s where people were doing satanic panic. And there's just movies about people getting so obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons. They don't know what's real anymore. That makes me so mad.

It just feels like that, but it is completely right. Yeah, where you're like protesting Dungeons and Dragons. Yeah, because a world of wizards, that sounds like a world of the devil. But then it's like, but also here is a gun. You can have it. Yeah. Shoot it left hand. My left eye is sharp.

It's sharp, baby, dude, like an eagle. Like an eagle scout and eagle, but bird. Of prey. Which you are of mine. All right, take his gun away. Actually, I changed my mind.'ve gone true no i've never shot a gun in my life nor do i want to well i mean if the situation like presented itself then maybe a duel yeah like if aaron burr hit me up and was like yo meet me on that island

outside of new jersey i'd be like okay but he's from the past so we'd use a drone drone strike a 10-based thunderbird yeah um i did i'd shot i did some legally dubious uh shotgun shooting in france whoa i don't really know if you're allowed to have those yeah but they were there wasn't even like a double barrel farmer's shotgun, which you can sometimes have depending on like the recent lease in England. This is like a, it's like a riot shotgun. This is like a military shotgun.

Oh, snap. Peach schnapps. Oh boy. I want to do it again. Me and Katie were thinking about going and doing something like that, you know, to bring us closer by spinning a revolver. I think we were both in this boat where like the unregulated Internet probably showed us at like a very too young age, like horrifying.

Oh, yeah. I don't even know if it's it's it's I don't know if it's just because I was a teenager, but the, somehow the ecosystem like showed me content I have not even seen anything close to these days. I don't know if it's like better regulation or the portals that I now have. Yeah, you just have to go to like LiveLeak or something like that to see it. And like. Yeah, I guess that my portals for content now there's really like four websites yeah that's well that's another problem which is like consolidation of attention to like a murderer's row of annoying web addicting websites of murderers content yeah um but thankfully elon's got our back

so if anybody gets banned for it he'll come in and be like what about free speech here's it bigger i caught up with friend of the show early guest of the show alexis gay whoa who was in town this weekend for a very wild reason the reason was that she was doing stand-up at a conference. So there's this podcast called All In Podcast, where it's three billionaires and one 100 millionaire. That sounds fucking insufferable. Yep. And it's, I think, do you know that Indian dude who Nick is hometown's friends with?

Oh, yeah. That guy listens to that podcast. That was where I first heard respect and uh and so they have a conference that people pay like fifteen thousand dollars to go to the podcast yeah wow jesus yeah because it's and then the guests uh the the guests at the podcast so alexis went on on saturday at uh.m., was opening, did 15 minutes of stand-up. Following Alexis were a few other people, including Mr. Beast and Elon Musk. Respect. The Avengers.

Yeah. Oh, my God. And she told me they also did a Q&A with her after her set, The Billionaires did. What is their standing energy? Do you know what I mean? Who knows? When the momentum's not going. New iPhone got announced.

Did you see the little short film they played about Mother Nature? No. For the Apple Watch? No. Because the new Apple Watch is like apparently carbon neutral. And so. I always. Apple's like environmental stuff.

It's like I think that if I'm to take what they say at face value, it's good that they're making an effort. But something. I'm like, it's hard to believe that it's hard to take them at face value. Because it is one of the biggest corporations in the world. And it has Octavia Spencer as Mother Nature. Oh, what? What? It was interesting.

What? Oh, no. Welcome to Apple. Welcome to Apple. Oh, no. It's Tim Apple. I'm going to do the offices already carbon neutral. Right? Yeah, all yours. Oh no. Gucci belt. What?

Let me just Is that Keith Leak? From Smosh? Yeah okay I'm glad other people are saying it Yeah that's definitely Keith Leak Damn Shout out I guess

Big time's over here Essentially yeah though It's like them sitting down And explaining that like Their offices are like Powered by clean energy and stuff. And then that sounds really interesting. And then she makes it sunny for them because they're doing good.

I want to see you do more of this. You will. When? By 2030, all Apple devices will have a net zero climate impact. All of them? All of them. They better. They will. This energy is weird. zero climate impact all of them all of them they better they will

this energy is weird wait that is piss yeah it will i said i feel like i need that like reaction gif of just like holding sternly okay so yeah it's too self-congratulatory man i mean i don't don't it's nothing but cynical marketing no that's the thing it's like i think that any positive um work that apple is doing here is like undercut by the like holier than thou like patting themselves on the back of it all because they do talk about like it's almost a meme at this point that all their presentations they have like a slide about sustainability um and it's like but it's a good thing if it's um really happening the way they say it is but i need i need some sort of independent third party to like yeah to tell me if i can believe them or not because i can't just take the propaganda

from the company itself about the work yeah and like and ultimately there's not that much utility to it like the actual impact it will have is pretty minor, relatively speaking. So it is only, and they know that, right? So it is only in its heart, it is purely cynical. Well, it's like we will continue making billions of dollars, but won't be contributing negatively to the environment. Don't worry. Which is a real bare minimum move by the way

right yeah i'm actually gonna i'm going to become a millionaire but i'm not going to hit any homeless people with my car so like the thing is though it's like i need but i i just i need you know like i think you know mkbhd who i trust said like um i think he said something putting words in his mouth i think he said something along the lines of like it's cringe but like more companies do need to be doing this and i'm like i think it's like if if they're to be believed that their impact is like what they say it is, then yes. If I could flip a switch that made all companies like not. But then there's also the stuff that like carbon neutrality and stuff is or offsetting carbon emissions is could be viewed as like propaganda from like the oil industry because uh it's just a way to like pay money to like continue doing the bad stuff without pushing for any kind of change in how

we generate and use power right in but i think the difference with apple stuff to be to if we take it uh in good faith is that they're like using a lot of recycled material, like 100% recycled materials in a lot of cases, which is good. But then what is the exhaust from that process of recycling? And how precise can you even be? Yeah. And what are the chemical processes used?

What are the, like, I just don't know. I don't know enough about the environment, about environmental science, about, like, what they are, like, doing. Like, I'm completely out of my depth, so I just need to, like, research more about the, like,

from the experts. It's kind of like being someone that's like, hey, I'm colorblind versus actually being anti-racist. Like, proactively being like, hey, there needs to be systemic change versus like, hey hey i'll hang out with anybody hey i actually uh i'm actually race neutral i've offset my race emissions if i hang out with someone white i will you know i'm actually willing to see someone that's black

like nearby um sorry we have ufology how do you say that we have an ad on this npr page um that says oh no it just changed oh that the book on crypto that reads like a high-stakes financial thriller an instant new york times bestseller it's isn't it your best seller like 10 000 copies in a month i think it's less i genuinely do think it's less less than that it's nothing too many motherfuckers writing books can i say there's enough board not enough and they've been doing it for fucking ages like there's books that are like 100 years old i i keep hearing from friends who are writing books and stuff um i keep hearing wild stuff about the publishing industry just because it's so old and how hard it is to do things

it's like if you still could only publish like i don't know if i could talk about this but like this is like i had a conversation with her and uh and just she was talking about the publishing industry. And I was like, yo, this sounds awful. Oh, wait. Before we move on. Do you know Luffy's birthday? I don't. It's May 5th.

Yo. Isn't that insane? I think. Okay, that explains something. It's always ours to people that don't know. Someone brought that up. Someone casually mentioned Luffy and my birthday, but I didn't think anything of it.

Yeah, a couple people replied. I don't even remember. Yeah, wait. It was a reply to something related to both of us. A couple people were like, yeah, Luffy day. Oh, I tweeted a thing about Karl Marx also being made fair right yeah I mean hey look

what can I say I'm a pirate at heart apparently the show is good yes I it's I mean people like it I've watched half of the first episode and it's's definitely very campy, kitschy.

But I'm excited to watch more because, yeah, people seem to F with it. I'm very curious about it. The only thing is it's like the 50th things on my prayer list. There's a lot. I finally watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 last night how was that it was okay okay i love to okay i i don't i couldn't i think i've seen two three it's okay it's all right i think it's a pandemic movie i go through the whole i go through the same like emotional arc with all of those movies where i'm like this is cool i like this this is good haha that's funny and then i completely forget everything i want

yeah i got burned on a few of those damn things oh my god the shows loki is pretty good all the other shows i yeah i do i do like loki and the um season two is starting soon i'll dabble in that just because it's something else but fuck me that falcon and the winter soldier show is one of the worst oh really i didn't even know there was it has uh one of the most embarrassing endings to anything i've ever seen which is it's kind of like there's clearly a lot cut out of it because it came out like middle of 2020 and there's a bunch of bioterrorism related con like there's that seems to be one of the storylines is like they've got this disease that they're going to spread and it's clearly been cut out like the main villains are like we're going to get this thing and like what is it is it's just a weapon it's just something like you know it's so aimless and like clearly something's missing and there is i'm not shitting you dude

the final part of that show spoilers for a stupid shit show there is falcon in his embarrassing new outfit to be hybrid captain america the like goofiest looking jacob we pull up isn't anthony mackie okay so he's in the show he is in the show he becomes captain america not a bad arc at all but the costume is appalling oh no and he the show ends with him he's just saved like some people from the the uh big senate event or whatever big big meeting big international political meeting and he literally just stands around with them in a circle with a bunch of uh press crew and it's the most lib coded wrap-up it's literally vote harder the ending he's just talking to these like these these you know in real life psychopaths

like senators they don't care that's why things happen right and instead he's like you've literal quote is you've got to do better senator and he's like telling them off waggling his little finger like you know what you got to give money to the poor and the the guy's like, yeah. Oh, I'm real sorry, Falcon. I'm sorry, Captain America. It's just like so amazingly bad that I felt like I was becoming a crazy person. That's kind of where I'm at with Marvel stuff. I'll watch one, I'll dig it, watch another.

This is like appallingly bad. Like, Dog Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, one of the worst movies ever. I was confused that people't complaining about it being it's really like if there was just a turd on a plate and people like it's okay it's like not the worst meal ever bad like no it should be you should have hated this um you're wrong let's uh go to the game and then i we may have to reconvene and do the bonus later, because I have to attend to something, I think. It's all good.

I didn't sleep last night, so I'm frazzled. Okay, so the name. Jacob has created a game, everyone. Jacob has created a game. It's called Name Those Boys. Name Those Boys. those boys now am i correct in assuming that this uh the contribution you made to the show is in some way your attempt for me to forgive you for the profile picture fiasco of 2023 if that makes you feel better okay it's because i it does not i'm still furious about it i don't want to get

back into it listeners no jacob chose a profile picture on slack and a company slack and um it was a big booty luigi it was big booty luigi and it was really cool and when i got him forward he did change it and i'm pissed about it i decided it was time for me to um just take a step up in professionalism um yeah we sent you one of those, like, sociopath. Every day I wake up at 1 a.m. and I work out for nine hours. While I'm doing that, I read a book and I'm in the cold plunge underwater. Yes, in other words, I've been grinding. Yes, you've been rising and grinding.

Absolutely. So here we have essentially just like 12 boy bands. It's a lot of boys. And you're going to take turns naming them. Ooh. And I've decided that you get two points if you name them from the photo. And one point, you can ask for a hint, and I'll play a clip from their third most popular song. Okay.

All right. We have to take turns though yes how do we determine for our I guess Jarvis was born first sure yeah Jacob I like the premise of this game I do feel like we're not accounting for Jarvis expertise well I don't know there's a lot of these that I can also click on them to make them bigger okay cool all right so do so we just have to go one at a time? Yeah. Do we have to start from any...

Do we have to start from A1? Nope, you can pick whichever. Alright, well I'll take the gimme, which is D1 in sync. Jacob, can I please have D2 in detail? Give me a click. Oh, yes.

Yes, sir. Those are the chain smokers. Absolutely. That's two points for Jordan. Can I have another point? Alright, A1's the Backstreet Boys. Fudge. God, man. It looks so much like Joba.

Hey. Can I have A2 in detail please? Initiate A2, enhance. Okay, de-hance. I don't know. I've been enhanced too much. They didn't do it for me? Oh boy. Oh no.

Oh, I did Can I have B1 enhanced, please? Initiate enhanced Go ahead, hit me with the third most popular song, please Okay Can I guess? Oh, no, wait, no. Not yet. What's their name?

Just out of interest? I mean, okay, here's my thought process. This is, combined with the track, this is some chronically 2000s fashion. Early 2000s. Maybe before the event. I... Jacob, I have no idea.

I'm going to go ahead and call them. Oh, man. That's the. The. Busted. Busted. Oh. Can I.

I like. I have other things I'd rather guess but can i steal like do we have a mechanic about that or i'll just hold on to this for later um yeah yeah we don't we don't yeah i'm not gonna get it uh big time rush is my guess for that absolutely no come on, man. Big Time is in the song that gave it away to me. Oh, rats. But my real turn is B2, Imagine Dragons. B2 is in the fact of it. No, come on. They're not imagining anything. What are their songs?

They're like, imagine there's a fucking dragon. Look out. It's a fucking dragon look out it's a whiffing in the sky there's a dragon in my dragon i'm waking up the dragon in my bones oh shit i shouldn't have did it welcome to the dragon age Origins Okay Alright A3

I'm hoping that when Jacob please enhance A3 Ah okay I'm so bad at this Um Go ahead give me this one I know this one I think Is it Muppet Intent?

It's not Okay Can I steal? Yeah Is it the Black Keys? It's not Damn Black Keys get the fuck out of. Is it the Black Keys? It's not. Damn. Black Keys.

Get the fuck out of here. I don't know what they look like. Right on. I guess since you didn't try to tell you what it is. Oh, yes. Neither of us got it. Those are the Lumineers. You're kidding.

That's what the Lumineers look like. I thought there was more. I thought there was a bunch of Lumineers. Can I do C1, Boys to Men? Absolutely. Congrats. I thought there was a bunch of limited can I do C1 boys to men absolutely congrats Motown Philly's back again is this no way who's this

Macklemore looking fucker in C2 wait a minute there's no chance that's Chris Martin is there no no too young is this a well known band Jacob do you think

yeah what's the like name just something that rhymes what's the like name of the like just something that rhymes of the band

yeah like rhymes I don't know but I could play a song for you what are the letters of it in order I can't tell you I can't read

yeah play me a song give me the beat boy I imagine a dragon oh i'm such an idiot it is chris martin i suck okay that's that's coldplay fudge dude he looks weird he does look weird here when you said is it chris martin i like focused in and i was like i think it is but he does look weird here. When you said, is it Chris Martin? I like focused in and I was like, I think it is. But he does look weird. It must be De'Ara. I mean, to be fair, I think the last time I saw a photo of Chris Martin, it was like on Ricky Gervais' show Extras 20 years ago. He's cute.

Oh, bottom right. Oh, no, I know what the bottom right is. Could I get D3? No. This is Red Hot Chili Peppers. No! Come on! Why didn't I see that earlier?

Because Flea's so little. Yeah, Flea looks so young. So then we have these. I don't know who those guys are. Give me, show me a three. Um, which would be three.

Actually, wait, wait, wait, wait, show me a C three. Oh, I got in the middle. Really?

I thought it was Julian Casablanca. It doesn't help. I was going to say the strokes, but that I thought was Julian Casablancas. That doesn't help. I was going to say the Strokes, but that's not the Strokes. Yeah, okay, I don't know that one at all. Give me B3. Is that Mumford and Sons? It is. Are you kidding me?

No, it's Mumford and Sons. I did. There's four of them? It beats me. How many of them are Sons? Which one's Mumford? I guess, yeah, I don't know them? It beats me. How many of them are sons? Which one's above? I guess, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that was a raw guess.

I tell you what. Okay, great. That's great. That helps. God, that Chili's one really hurts. All right, so then we have these two. Did we get A3? And C3.

A3. Yeah, A3 was Lumineers. Oh, you guys didn't get that one. See, I can't even hold onto it now. And C3. A3. Yeah, A3 was Lumineers. You guys didn't get that one. See, I can't even hold onto it now. I don't think I know any of the remains. We didn't get B2 yet, right? B2's a magic dragon.

B2's a magic dragon. Magic dragon. Yeah. Yeah, could you just tell us? Do you want to hear either of their songs to help you get this? Oh, true. Yeah, give me... Give me... Oh, no, it's your turn. Give me C3's song.

Third most popular song. Hmm. Oh. Wait, hold on. Oh, you. I love you. Plain white tease. Absolutely.

So that's one. And the voice came in too. I've never heard that song, but the voice is distinct enough. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, I too. I've never heard that song, but the voice is distinct enough. Yeah, yeah. I was like, I've heard the song before. Is it that? I probably wouldn't have known that that was the song. Bollocks. So it's just B2 left, right?

B2's the Magic Dragons. You literally can't hold on to it, man. Just A2 left. Oh. Damn it. Oh. Damn it. Oh. I have a guess, but I don't know.

I have a guess simply the era of the music. I think you can pretty safely take a steal on this one. I mean, okay. My guess from the era is New Kids on the Block. It is.

Absolutely. What? What's the number one song? I couldn't tell you. I just knew that New Kids on the Block was like a boy band. The only reason I could guess that is because of... It was like in the 90s. They were like kind of a new kids on the block.

A lot of hits, you know, like that type of stuff. Or, you know, for example, there's the Eminem lyric, which we will have to censor. New kids on the block. A lot of boy girl groups make me sick. And so that I just and it's like something about catching you out in public and it's catch me outside wow and there is none of them were imagined dragons um all of them were matched it does add up of course yes dragons yeah it is uh it's depressing to me that the chain smokers were the first ones that caught my eye. Is there an episode of Sunday Conversations?

I found them interesting. I will reveal that I did also know that that was the chain smokers because they performed at a VidCon party two VidCons ago. Oh my God. Interesting. It is like, it's weird the blind spots sometimes that i feel like i have and i i do think a portion of it is like some of these uh american groups did did pierce the veil did pierce the european veil and i'm never sure if i don't recognize some because they didn't can we just imagine dragons

for once have you ever imagined dragons that moment when i imagined dragons dude how i'm thinking too much of dragons that name is so stupid why is it called i genuinely before the imagine dragons hate train started uh i listened to their first album and i liked it i listened to that single at the time oh yeah i thought it was cool but they're like very like big very theatrical very like like Very theatrical And then I think They started to lose me when I would see the live performances And they'd just be like hitting the drums Oh yeah

I think that what do they call concert pop or something like that It's like a very specific Is it like arena pop or something Yeah yeah yeah It's like explicitly for that kind of environment Hey man I 99% of the time i feel like when i hear hate

for a musical artist it's just a bad take because it's just it's just like one of those fun yeah i don't care if it's connecting with someone that's fine whatever the maybe the like occasional exception i'll make is if it's just also like morally yeah or like that um i know he said like i'm actually a misentrist for that stupid song with like the rich man above rich oh that guy was confusing yeah like the song is mid but the point is dumb what who was what's his name Oliver Anthony I think it's imagined oh yeah it's imagined Mumford

well this has been sad boys we end every episode of sad boys with a particular phrase um yeah I think we love you and uh hypothetically we're sorry I hate this character

boom he's right boom behind me he's he's right boom behind me isn't he gucci girl gucci girl how you doing how you moving girl moving girl how she's delicate that future girl future girl yeah we are now take my money go away all you want it I'm out.
