How am I just now finding this podcast!? Jim's my all-time favorite comedian. I wish he was still pushing specials like he used to. I miss him

[@pauljames2201]

Think he is recording one soon or just has.. just hasn't been released onto netflix or whoever has it yet.

[@AtypicalPaul]

Hands down my most listened to podcast. Great show. Really enjoy that you have video on here for it too.

[@sistermaryelephant6038]

I'd never heckle a comedian... that said does anyone know if you can get Amazon to deliver packages to someone on stage during a performance...

[@resolecca]

Do it, 🙏🏼looolz it'll be the best heckle ever 👨🏻‍🍳😘☠️

[@FitzyyLives]

can you schedule a delivery like that? like down to the minute?

[@sciencefan8867]

Over thinking it. Just Uber a box of crickets from Petco 😎👌

[@jefflabbecomedy]

You can't. You *can* door dash a food order, but then you have to meet the driver at the front door and convince them to participate in the next steps. The whole thing is contrived and you end up broadcasting your intentions by dicking around on your phone, leaving the room and coming back in, generally looking chuffed with yourself and not paying attention, etc.

17:37 "leather jacket and a *F'DORE* " - Jim Jefferies. He's said it this way in a previous episode haha. Adorable ol' Jim :)

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

F'dorable Jim

[@Smokehunt]

After about twenty minutes, I'm done trying to write anything worth reading, but I love all of you, so have a comment for the algorithm

“ *OOONNEE* !” Reminds me of Bill Burrs epic rant that put him over in comedy. It’s a fave in my house so much so, that the husbeast and I quote it to eachother all the time ✨😹✊🏻✨

[@jefflabbecomedy]

"Eight more minutes, go ahead!"

[@johnquid5241]

Jim was on fire for this one.

[@DwayneShaw1]

44:00 - Caesar is a cognomen - which is an, often self-deprecating, nickname. Gaius Julius was called Caesar - meaning "Hairy", which became a designation of 'Emperor', and Germany still had a 'Kaiser' in the 20th century, - - Dr. Thum mentions the Roman tradition of oratory. One of the greatest has come down thru history by the name 'chickpea' = Cicero (Marcus Tullius)

[@joesikic6531]

The joke about the pear and custard is a come dressed as an emotion party

[@mr.christopher8671]

Jims comment about the latitude & longitude of the great pyramid is interesting. Allegedly, the numbers are the same as the speed of light, or something to that effect. I'm not an ancient alien theorist, I'm a right now alien believer 👽 Love the podcast!

[@brei.z]

Jack.. I've left heaps of nice comments on patreon .. this is my favourite podcast. You're all great and Jim was awesome in Brisbane when I saw him recently.. the joke that mentioned the safe word had me laughing Soo much.

[@spinoza5898]

Big like from Egypt my man..

[@Trav_Can]

57:30 "Mummy Brown" That sounds like a pretty cool color. Spooky! I love that Kelly says "recycling"! And then in response to mummy use as medicines, she says "nice". Haha! Love Kelly.

[@glennboyd939]

Jim's knowledge of Egypt is: There's like lots of pyramids and sphincters (but not too many)

[@eazycanna9763]

Best intro to date 🤣

[@v8holdentiger]

Suprised Jim never mentioned the Queen of the Nile, she’s highly popular in pubs and clubs in Australia haha

[@connies.debenedet4255]

Love this podcast! Funny and informative! Awesome 😻😈

[@Phoenix-ug1ru]

huzzah for brendan fraser

[@Trav_Can]

1:09:43 The real reason why not to buy these things, for some reason she doesn't mention this, is that you will be supporting the black market trade in stolen artifacts. Even if you from buy reputable dealers. You will encourage people to loot who will destroy sights and you will have no provenience of this thing.

[@pjsw]

Super interesting episode

[@therealseals]

Saw you guys on somethings burning, super funny haha.

[@congs5192]

Man. Got scheduled on an out of town work thing. Will no longer be able to make the Kelowna show. :( so if anyone wants to buy a pair of tickets, hit me up!

[@paulodas6633]

just leaving a comment to myself for when I watch this a third time. best podcast (to rewatch n re-rewatch). (spoiler alert) Kelly is a great energy/aura... I miss seeing her & she is missed

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

10:55 "Menatolin"

[@barrybeukes]

3:09 Thank you. This made my fucking day!

[@AxeMan808]

"No, I have a REAL question."

[@curtisglover7304]

Hey Guys! Just wondering if Jim is coming back to Newfoundland to do the Moist show? Thanks so much

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

49:23 - I had the exact same thoughts as Jim re: the Jefferey Dahmer Netflix series/documentaries/tapes.

[@BeauMedas]

Jim Jeffrey Dahmer... Just kills you with laughter

[@OfficialFingazMC]

They did call world war 1, World War 1. It was on QI...

[@godfathery2kgaming324]

2nd, make it worse I am from NZ

[@Viking507]

It was a poo with a stick! xD

[@Balltime88]

Talk about babies being eaten again please. That was a real riot.

[@Arthur_Pendragon2022]

I miss Ptolemy

Alexandria was created by alexander the great. A third of the city was dedicated to the royal palace home to cleopatra. It was home to the greatest library in history which was sacked and destroyed in 400ad by the christians. Ps: egyptians were the greatest beer drinkers. Ever.

[@paulclissold1525]

Manuka honey comes from leptospermum squarrosum (australian tea tree) not as those thieving nz bastards would tell you. Ask em about chinese gooseberries.

[@simonturner1]

The longitude/latitude thing can't be true, because Egypt isn't on the equator.

[@shahaneperera349]

for the algorithm

[@brianboyer8903]

7...???

[@haraldisdead]

Australian "pawpaws" aren't pawpaws, they're papayas.

[@jefflabbecomedy]

He literally said "aboriginals used papaya, 'pawpaws'"

[@haraldisdead]

@@jefflabbecomedy yea, but in another episode, they were talking about actual pawpaws, like the ones from Pennsylvania, and he thought they were the same as "pawpaws" in Australia, which are papayas

[@dinhsang9576]

Too bad nobody challenged her on the pyramids construction time... Which is officially 20 years...

[@Paul-jd2bc]

So.... am I right in thinking that egyptologist is really messy fun time dirty? I reckon I am....

[@BeauMedas]

Once again!?!?!... Milo stealing the spotlight at 19:00min into it!!!... Ugh!! I'd call him out on attention grabbing.. but he's my fave member of the cast so I'll allow it

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

Milo?

[@jefflabbecomedy]

I believe his name is Arnie 🐕

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

@@jefflabbecomedy Yeah his name's Arnie :) What sort of breed is he?

[@FOREVERGREEN_MUSIC]

The amount of ads is ridiculous on this..

[@hiltonwhittlewood1572]

These are always great and interesting. But for someone who's hearing isn't great. It's a shame that the expert continually runs out of sound in the last 2 words of nearly every sentence

[@brianboyer8903]

Holy fuk Jim ....your smtater then must off os ....solid Brendon Fraser...

[@brianboyer8903]

Btw spelling mistakes ate on purpose - ish

[@sir-ravikumar]

[@gart9680]

Aww! The should stop bullying Forrest. It's not his fault he's...? I often think verbal bullying is worse than physical. I'd prefer it if they punched him.

[@liveChef]

Dude a nose ring can turn even the hottest to completely understandable.. why is that?

[@HolzerHolz]

Yuck her feet 😂

[@AnonymousanonymousA]

Ancient Egypt connection to illuminati?

[@YortOK]

More like IllumiNUTTY

[@davidtodd3401]

😂😂😂 fucking don't be that person. Don't bring feelings to a fact fight

[@jonathanm180]

wonder if he deceptively edits this show to make himself look better like he did his last one.

[@troybberbs2772]

WTF! Could there be more adds? way to ruin the vibe of a great podcast.

[@johnny207]

Still wearing black 🤮

[@dalelane1948]

Looks like Jim is a true seppo now with that gut. He's solidly in the average among those four.

[@lyy90]

Sometimes I wonder how big jim would've got if he never sold out to the left

[@ChesterPerry187]

What the fuck are you on about?

[@Vaeldarg]

Weird, considering "the left" keeps winning popular votes. Meaning even if that was true, it means he's being viewed by more people, not less. Why don't you stick to Dry Bar Comedy? There's actual right-leaning comedians there, willing to give you the passive-aggressive dog whistling you desire.

[@motosaki404]

Putting meat on a black eye for the iron..

[@dutchrequired]

Jim looks like hes over this fucking podcast

[@FuckingFuckShitBitch]

They built the pyramids in the span of 20 or so years.
