Jim: "let's do some ads" Me: "let's skip some ads"

[@emdiar6588]

Me too. No offense meant to Jim, but only Burr has unskippable reads.

[@mellowfire420]

The adds end at 22:24

[@thomasthompson5613]

I'm legitimately going to cry a bit when Arnie visits the farm. I'm glad he's still getting skritches.

[@vikramsohal7189]

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and this is the only one where I don’t skip the ads

[@derheadbanger9039]

I love episodes on topics that Jim has requested!

[@joeb588]

There has to be a big difference between the “average” engagement ring cost and the median engagement ring cost. Don’t let them throw out $6-7k and make you think that’s the typical.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

26:12 the scoring system had me laughing so hard. So great of Forrest here!

[@haraldisdead]

Probably the best episode. I want that whole Titanic bit clipped

[@lough1959]

Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine Remember that? Great song! That song was in every film and commercial for years! Just think of the residuals!

[@JAMES-my8bf]

You are all extra baked in this one..🤣

[@partpar]

The titanic rant is epic!!

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

48:51 Jim's voice goes *so* high when he says "WTF is going on?!"

[@a7xdunc72]

Buzzing for Glasgow tickets!

[@williambintzer8128]

To anyone wondering, the TItanic rant is at 54:17

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Katrina and the waves was the last time we won Jim mate, in '97.

[@3jplatnum]

I always stay up late to catch the show when it drops!!!

[@Trav_Can]

47:51 Jim learns that hard things are brittle.

[@Trav_Can]

It's the oak vs. bamboo.

[@ChesterPerry187]

Glwnn Wool is a must see. Saw him at the festival this year. (And Andrew Maxwell)

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

jeez. I had to hit the SKIP button when you said that LIAM is a great singer!!

[@kc8203]

I think we need to see Jim to a scene by scene commentary for Titanic.

[@williamcalkins2733]

I think ZALES had a big thing a few years back pushing black diamonds ( maybe around the time of the black Christmas season when everyone was buying black Christmas trees)

[@turnerwright]

Michael Scott: "They say three years' salary" :P

[@erieelusionarts8611]

This was a flawless episode. One of my all time favorites. 💎

[@keifwoki]

Great episode! Bloody pisser 🤣👍

[@kevbruce9191]

Please do an episode on Black Opal. Your SME is Justin Thomas the guru of opal. Australian opal is the most expensive and rarest on earth 🌎

[@buckbaumann773]

Have you forgotten about the town in Germany that's sprinkled in meteoric diamonds?

[@carolyntalbot947]

You sent me down a rabbit hole (an interesting read, really!) I lived in Friedberg as a child, I had never heard of Nordlingen before. It sounds like a fairy tale.

[@FitzyyLives]

Thanks for reminding me of savage garden... haven't listened to them in like 20 years... also, that's weird to say as a 27 year old lol

[@dominicmapstone]

GOODNIGHT AUSTRALIA

[@dunkelmonkey]

Jim, I'm with you, I never knew diamonds could break, we've been lied to by deBeer's

[@carolyntalbot947]

"Diamonds Are Forever...ish"

Why does Dave Chapelle sprinkle diamond dust on his food ? To make his doo-doo twinkle.

48:27!

Good on Jack for having the Seinfeld lego set 👏

[@montegriffo24]

With all the football on at the moment I haven't watched this one yet and there will be another one tomorrow. The last one was a bit meh is this one better?

[@flatlandfreak66]

How are you going to have an entire episode about diamonds and not talk about the exploitation and greed of the entire Diamond trade because of de beers??? Wtf

[@mprador09]

Bruh that was like over a hundred years ago. And they did mention that only 5% of he volumes mined are considered blood diamonds these days. The phone in your hand has more blood on it than all the diamonds mined last year. But hey 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@somethingclever4563]

​@@mprador09 lol well said

[@carolyntalbot947]

In the US, Opals are considered bad luck if they aren't your birth-stone.

[@riannarobinson6727]

You gotta tell the brothel story.

[@jp3102]

kelly bringing it down as usual

[@paulclissold1525]

Lake argyll (in the kimberley) is the largest man made lake in australia along the shoreline you see tortured synclines and inclines. The land is full of iron ore obviously the reason the diamonds are pink.

Jim and I have the same views on romance movies I see

[@jackwalsh7956]

Did Luis leave the podcast completely?

[@toddgoodwin4203]

Is Jim back on the piss??

[@macca9982]

Jim is a diamond 💎

[@DeusExCanis]

Eurovision was an awesome movie. That movie is so dumb and yet it elicits so much emotion. My wife and I say that it has no right to make you feel that much. Then I saw actual Eurovision and loved the movie even more.

[@cd5311]

I got my wife a black diamond for her wedding ring and she loves it. It’s more unique

[@JK_Clark]

Nothing can be 'more unique' - it's an absolute adjective. You could say it's rarer than other colours.

[@cd5311]

@@JK_Clark or I could still say it’s more unique than a plain ole diamond that most other people have.

[@JK_Clark]

@@cd5311 you could, but then you'd sound a bit silly.

Exactly Jim if anything its a dam cake

dance motherfucker dance

[@ramifara]

wow, nearly 10 min midroll ads, what is going on Jim, you low on cash pro? :)

[@jewsco]

Also diamonds aren’t rare . There are plenty of them they just hold them back namely the deBeers family

[@Terminalsanity]

I say just go with lab created sapphires/rubies almost as hard as diamond less brittle and less likely to chip, crack,or break and they can be flawlessly custom made to order on the relative cheap choosing your color, cut and carat.

[@JK_Clark]

@@Terminalsanity I'm never buying a real diamond, even the ones 'from Canada' could easily have been mined in South Africa by the Musk family's slaves.

[@nowxon967]

as an aussie i agree pizza is not pie

[@v8holdentiger]

I never understood it either. A pie is pastry filled with ingredients, pizza is bread topped with ingredients. They’re complete opposites

[@nowxon967]

Tell me you're Australian without telling me you're Aussie that's your KZbin name hahaha but yeah 100% on the pies

[@v8holdentiger]

@@nowxon967 haha I chose it when I was like 19 years old 15 years ago and I can’t change it. I was a writer for a Holden magazine at the time

[@randybrown9151]

The reason diamond sparkle the way they do is because light slows down while passing through them. They literally slow down the speed of light

[@frankcooke1692]

Not literally. The refraction makes it take a longer path. Water does the same thing. So does air

[@JK_Clark]

@@frankcooke1692 So do a lot of other gasses and liquids, I expect, right?

[@frankcooke1692]

@@JK_Clark Yes. Urine. Farts. And if you really want to get technical - light doesn't have a speed at all - speed is distance over time and light is oblivious to time.

[@JK_Clark]

@@frankcooke1692 *Mind blown* Very cool! So the 8 minutes from the sun thing is just our perception?

[@10-AMPM-01]

1:14:34 - You say Californians net $90,000 a year... You're not sure if that's before or after taxes... You don't know the difference between net and gross...? I suppose that's not exactly diamond related. Oh well.

[@birdman5197]

Next time no stutter guest please

[@michaelmcdonald5175]

The Beatles would be a good idea for a show.

[@ericcastiglione]

Diamonds are the original crypto. Inflated value, manipulated, almost entirely useless but at least they're shiny and real.

[@nartouzumaki8232]

So Forrest can be funny huh.. 😃

[@FitzyyLives]

Fun fact, you can make diamonds completely disappear by heating them red hot

[@denverbarspotter555]

Can you do a STEM CELL episode?!!

[@millin-avp-educationav-kin9128]

Hi!

[@angryhairpeice]

Diamonds are intrinsically worthless.

[@JK_Clark]

Nah, they can cut hard stuff. Probably worth about tree fiddy.

[@sdmoparmaninsd6713]

No outtro? Jack's fired...

See you in Finland I don't know do you like card magic but if so I could show you a great trick. Wondering does Jim see this message.

No. Get a life magic dork

Diamonds as jewelry are such a rip off, I wonder how many millions of $$$$ worth have been lost over the years.

[@danielcamacho4166]

[@gusgus8134]

I've never been a fan of diamonds. They lack originality.

[@josephmoe9994]

Your funny er when you talk to a female
