Leviathans are COMING (REAL) - JARCast Episode 361

[@Kino-K]

It sounds to me that the "flashbang" you guys experienced was a meteorite. When they enter the atmosphere and start burning up, they emit an immense amount of light, enough to light up the whole sky like you guys mentioned. Since nobody saw it or the trail it leaves behind in the sky, it was most likely behind you. The reason for there being no sound is that it probably never made impact with the Earth's surface, and instead completely burned up before it could reach the ground. I've witnessed one meteroite myself and it pretty much mirrors your experience. It was around 1 or 2am, and it lit up the sky and surroundings in a blue-ish light, to the point where it looked like it was mid-day, but only for a second before it went back to being dark. Look up meteorite footage, it's quite an amazing and rare spectacle!

[@Ignoscaramus]

Love that last episode Alex said that it was the first episode where no one was ill, then ends up getting annihilated in a Looney Tunes style scene of destruction. Leviathans are not just coming, I fear, they may already be here.

[@reckonedabandon3357]

Is "throbbing pain in your finger is nice" James' most bizarre take since "falling over is relaxing"?

[@jonfro-mez]

Throbbing is kinda nice, depending on how intense the pain is that caused it.

[@mara48320]

no hes right

[@seafoob]

Autism can change sensations, if you try hard enough then some pain can feel weirdly nice. I remember when I had a loose tooth and I'd move it around because it gives off a strange feeling.

[@andrewmulhearn1234]

I feel like you can frame it differently in your mind if the pain isn't so bad. Like the throbbing is your blood vessels carrying the oxygen and nutrients needed for your body to heal.

I have heard of small meteorites entering the atmosphere and emitting light suddenly like that when they burn out. It also does not make a sound. Most likely you guys saw that. It often goes by super fast and not many people might have seen it. Maybe it was right above you guys and that is why it seemed like the light was "everywhere". I am Finnish and I have heard a couple of stories like this from northern Finland.

[@theniceguy9332]

Wow cant believe the reveal that alex is secretly randy with contact lenses

[@BorfieKai]

Nuh uh

[@thementalitydisturbedcolli7430]

Lies

[@kosmo5330]

long time commenter, first time watcher. this is not what i was expecting

[@harrydsgn]

I don’t know that I’ve ever had as much fun listening to this cast than hearing James absolutely go off into a special interest rant about the cars he’s driven and ways he’s almost died in them

[@Zellington-o]

I was literally eating my dinner right as James said “I hope you’re not eating your dinner”… Lovely grim stories this episode :) (Hope it feels better soon!)

[@1_f1N_1]

About the "flashbang" its worth googling if there was any satellite launches at the date/ time you remember this happening. I've seen some pretty crazy things happen in the sky due to satellites including a similar thing to what you described

[@dylanmilne6683]

Got flashed by a moto moto's high beam LEDs behind them and it became a core memory

[@PeepingSam]

that Mama Max reference with the title. that's so fucking lol

[@Notlutherr]

‘I am your Mama you listen to me’

[@roydekock656]

Ongezellig fans and jarlings colliding wtf??

[@foxygrandpa8188]

Tummies are sure to be tickled this episode 😋 and I say, let it be so ☝️😃

[@tambettammisto7423]

😃

[@hogsize2540]

I frowned in great displeasure upon reading this

[@noarmsnolife6665]

the word youre looking for with those metal clips is "carabiner"

[@basman5591]

Fun tidbit about orangutans, there have been cases of tourists in what I believe is Indonesia being forcefully taken hostage by Orangutans. They'll simply get up close and grab a person, where they then might flash their teeth while pulling the tourists fingers to their mouths, only releasing if a satisfactory amount of fruit is handed to them. There is a story of a tourist who ended up separated from his group during a walk in the jungle and this orangutan was chasing him, trying to grab him. It was jumping from tree to tree, dropping on him multiple times, making him jump out of the way each time. It must be pretty harrowing to be forcefully held by a creature that powerful. You are effectively helpless. If you resist too much or panic, it might get agitated and obliterate you. Moral of the story, don't feed wild orangutans. Once they connect humans with food, they'll eventually figure out that extortion is the simplest and easiest way to get that food.

[@bilbean]

From everything being described about the light the meteorite theory makes sence. If you look at video clips online it lines up. But hey could be wrong. Have a good one boys.

[@soitssparkie]

Please make a T.I.M shirt, I'd buy it in a heartbeat

[@filmtalking]

Seconded

[@omni-]

Thirded

[@marcusbritt2896]

They’re literally uploading last weeks cast again and seeing if anyone would notice

[@CaJoel]

I would proudly wear a triple leviathan brothers shirt

[@Narwhallimited]

Bro I’ve already watched the whole cast 🫃

[@mitchellodell266]

Obviously the flash of light was Zeus (the god) trying to promote the JAR merch

[@HOOOPER]

I appreceate zeus endosing the mid break ads right after the ancent gods talk

[@Crashpunk]

I'm currently learning to drive in an auto. The way I've been taught is I only use the handbreak for stopping entirely. I just use the breaks on the road.

[@pfeifenderleidender7320]

Who is the important man?

[@CreamJerryCream]

I for one, am extremely terrified of Alex. It mostly comes down to his unknown capabilities

[@dibbydosa7640]

Hi JAR, I have a suggestion for your strange light phenomenon - disclaimer: I am a mere 3rd-year astrophysics student at university, so this is based on what limited knowledge I have. What came to mind for me was that it was a geomagnetic storm, more commonly known as aurora (aurora borealis being specifically the northern lights). Essentially, this is when the charged ionic particles from the solar wind get trapped in the earth's ionosphere and the interactions with the magnetic field that traps them there cause the emission of light. Usually, this only happens on the earth's poles, however, as you mentioned it was around sunset I wonder if it just so happened that a higher density of these particles got caught in the ionosphere due to the fact that they would be traveling parallel to the magnetic field lines of the earth, thus causing the emission of light. The Sun also has slightly more energetic events called "Solar flares", which may be this was, potentially the reason why it was so visible, however, this should have caused some interference with electronics, but maybe you weren't listening to the radio and it was Spotify. Anyway, this is the only thing I can think of, and it amused me how you guys referred to the event as a flare because that is potentially the reason why. However, I am doubtful that this is the case as I do not think it could be so localized, but as I said - the only thing I could think of. Keep up the good cast, and if there are any other astrophysical or physical phenomena you are confused by I would love to take a crack at it!

[@ajkbertho]

I was totally about to say the same thing...

[@tambettammisto7423]

Those bonus moments at the end were pretty wholesome

[@kaceyharper1449]

The sky thing is actually so weird/crazy to me because I swear i saw the same thing ages ago too. I was looking out my window (in Scotland) maybe around 5pm and it suddenly went bright for like 2 seconds. This whole time i thought I was just hallucinating or something or it was to do with the lights indoors. Although it was literally the sky, but no one was with me to confirm it. I completely forgot about this til now.

[@bajscast]

Pet gopro cam would be peak, surprised you haven't done it yet

[@longobongo4402]

The weird light you saw might have been a rare case of "ball lightning", maybe check that out to compare it to your experience.

[@derrekclay7425]

Sounds to me like it was a meteor. They can light up the entire sky like you described. Might even be a record of it, if you guys can dig for some info

[@jayclark5469]

Love the longer cats guys

[@MunchingSawdust23]

I had a dream last night about a piece of JAR lost media. It consisted of a video that James had filmed in his yard of his neighbor acting whimsically. For example, he would hop around his own yard on a pogo stick. However, upon realizing he was being filmed by James, his demeanor suddenly shifted. He turned to stare at James, before ominously marching towards him. The video ended with the neighbor climbing the fence and James lowering the camera and running off toward his house. I know nothing of James’ neighbor or yard situation in real life, so on a scale of 1 to 10, how prophetic would you say this dream is?

[@ajfierro98]

I’ve had this same dream

[@henryh3707]

The only experience I've had similar to the flashbang would be when an electricity junction box on the street blew up a couple of miles away from me when I was walking on a hill at night, I was looking directly at it and it looked like someone was shining a bright torch about 10 feet in front of me.

[@vaterquality]

I think the hand brake convo was interesting, im the only one of my friends who uses their hand brake at all. My friends dont even use it when they park, and they always think its weird that I use it at all. Bear Bear boys, this show makes me look forward to mondays ❤

[@aliveslice]

21:00 easy solution: don't eat onions 26:26 34:08 37:04 47:08 47:45 55:55

[@sandmanbiden9301]

Alex looking like a batman villain

[@Soggysockz]

I've experienced a similar flashbang incident and later discovered I was in a car directly under a broken street lamp that turned back on for a few seconds before turning off again

[@skullo_t]

I dozed off after watching the cast and had a dream that James was driving a Seat Leon and had manipulated Jamie into getting Thai food with him. Anyway, I think we should have a monthly segment where James describes what car he's destroyed

[@MildlyEducational]

James has to promise not to kill himself in a car crash. JAR must go on

[@ShaneyMacPaddyWhack]

Just in case anyone's wondering, you really should have your handbrake on at stop lights AND your foot on the brake, that way (as Alex said) if you get hit from behind and you foot lifts off the brake pedal you won't go flying into the car in front. Use both! Also not using a handbrake for hill starts is going to decimate your clutch, you know James' car stinks of clutch ^^

[@casa-35]

If you don't hold it on the bite for too long it'll be fine, I've done it so much that my timing is perfect with minimal clutch use. So isn't much different than a standard pull away. Haven't had to replace a clutch yet so doing something right lol

[@HOOOPER]

Yo! The leviathan is my favorate ship in Fractured space! slay

[@piecesasterisk]

The flashbang will have been a meteor

[@Isaac_Collins]

Don't know if this sounds stupid, but it could've been a helicopter shining a spotlight

[@Blappyboop]

It probably would have lasted longer if it was a helicopter. It’s most likely a meteorite

[@baconchickenforty-two]

wow right after you guys were talking about gods appearing, zeus himself appeared before me and commanded me to buy a shirt!! (Zeus Proved real)

[@-k-b-]

I think the random day light was a leviathan opening the night sky up for a second. Only plausible explanation

[@walmart_ar1567]

As someone who lives in the netherlands , how these fellows can Own a house, own a car, own multiple dogs, and have the time to go on long hikes in the country in the morning before the age of 70 is Literally inconcievable to me

[@casa-35]

Tbf Alex is the only one who owns a house lol

[@benmartin6644]

And he probably has a lot of that youtube money

[@roydekock656]

Gekoloniseerd

[@stachemallow]

I LOVE THE LEAN EPISODE!!!!!

[@tambettammisto7423]

💜💜💜💜💜

[@haileykate8216]

my first thought was a meteorite exploding high up in the atmosphere, but the weirdest part is that nobody mentioned it!!! stuff like that usually gets documented in some way

[@citrussnacc]

Not if it’s a small meteorite in a meteor shower. Meteor showers are more common than you think! Also in a rural area it’s a bit of a blink and you miss it scenario, so if no one is around u might be the only ones to have witnessed it. Honestly pretty cool (source: am physics)

[@pablojansen2080]

Please bring back the nicknames for the cast members in the intro That would really own the woke mob Bear bear

[@caperlamb1930]

Hypothetical for the JAR boys - if each of you had to have 1 political media figure of any political alignment as a room mate for a year, who would you pick and why?

[@PDocDanny]

It has taken me four tries at finishing this video and I still haven’t

[@jeffrytatum]

I see the chess board acually being used in terms of pieces being moved from episode to episode. would it ever be a chess episode where you play it throughout the cast. or just a video where you play eachother and talk about madagaskar?

[@jamesmccomb9525]

Meteors don't have to be big to make a lot of light, depending on what they're made up of they could match the luminosity of the sun if they're going fast enough through the thick atmosphere, and they'd burn up enough to leave no traces.

[@poppymai5284]

Why is Alex on a pregnancy ball

[@Lreldge]

isnt it obvious...

[@Blappyboop]

27:21 sounds like a meteor was above you guys when that happened. That would cause a sudden surge of bright light at night time.

[@omni-]

Yup that's what i thought too. It being above them explains the light seeming to be everywhere, meteors make no sound when burning out and it is very sudden. It's of course unlikely that nobody else saw it but not impossible. I think it's the most reasonable explanation, since the only thing against it is that they haven't seen anyone else talk about it.

[@Daniel_Rawlings]

God Proof (REAL)

[@cmgk3596]

is james a brightoner?

[@charlieboardman2005]

Don't know what to comment on this one tbh

[@theenigma2897]

James there's nothing wrong with gambling. I think it's beautiful to be addicted to hope like this. 80% of gamblers call it a night right before their next big win.

[@aliveslice]

😅

[@JackJohnson-sz3dm]

I'm guessing a meteorite or something simler burned up and created the light. Or lightning that doesn't make a sound only thunder does.

[@nickomode5624]

Next ep the boys will have a papier-mache doll of Meghan Trainor in place of Alex. Screenshot this.

[@limey2208]

Big if true

[@paintedrhino4381]

speaking of weird occurrences at night, do any of u bearborbells know and urban legions from your aria

[@aliveslice]

I am both squeamish and eating my dinner.

[@LiamTolentino]

Uploaded 20 seconds ago? This is getting ridiculous. Call of Duty: Black Ops

[@BigPapa-fn1mf]

Call of booty

[@andrewmazzarini2742]

Pretty sure Renault & Citroën are owned by Stellantis, the parent company of Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge, which have equally shitty reputations, so it all tracks tbh

[@DemonicDoodles]

I’m so hungry I could EAT A HORSE

[@tonys6620]

Ice Age Ice Age 2 even

[@telekinesticman]

I like James' idea of "saturated white" when this is literally the exact opposite of what colour saturation actually means lol - less saturation makes something more white

[@younanthenzardan]

Alex looks sexy af all bandaged up

[@jeffm.5199]

One of these days I’ll finally learn to stop listening to the cast while I eat. Edit: that was a lie and we both know this will not happen

[@lewismclean9960]

Always knew the jar boys were working with the reapers, subscribed and unliked

I hate the new intro.
