I like them getting to the guest quickly.

This guys looks exactly what I think the internet in-bodied would look like.

[@jefflabbecomedy]

I too thought that the internet would look like Kirby inhaled Mike Myers and absorbed his powers.

[@emdiar6588]

in-bodied?? You could have used 'embodied', 'personified', 'incarnate', or even ''made flesh'' if you were feeling poetic, but you just went ahead and made up your own word. I respect that.

[@emdiar6588]

Jim, you killed it in Taipei. I took my brother and after the show I said now that is what a real pro looks like. My bitter brother who doesn't like comedy had to grimace and nod his head.

Do an Episode about Brexit ..

[@daisydog388]

You want a comic to learn about and make jokes about Brexit? Sounds horrifically boring, how about tits and guns instead?

[@BobsYirUncle]

Or don’t 🥱

[@ctdieselnut]

...cause that's a comedy rich subject. I'm j/k, but I like episodes with details about little known things. Politics shouldn't be viewed as entertainment as much as it is on social/mainstream media. People either don't give a shit, agree, or get all pissed. I watch stuff like this to get away from the news.

[@nartouzumaki8232]

@@ctdieselnut it's a historic Event and if there is Comedy in the Electoral College then why can't there be in Brexit!? Plus this Podcast is called "I don't know about that"

"The internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck, it's a series of tubes." --Senator Ted Stevens That kind of silver-tongued oratory is comparable to the dazzling imagery of Herschel Walker's dissertation on vampires vs. werewolves!

17:59 ahh I miss that noise

[@sparkywatts3072]

Dinner party fact: Bill Gates was an internet denier. There is a video showing Bill in a Microsoft meeting angerly telling his staff to stop messing around with this new internet thing because it was going nowhere. This happened in the early 1990's. Good luck finding the video. Only Bill could make something like that go away from the internet.

[@dylantindall5573]

'It's all pez, baby.' I'd wear that.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

28:24 - the amount of times Jim has said "power points" to Forrest, Kelly and Jack and they've always thought he meant that platform for making slides rather than those plug/sockets in the wall ahaha... Jeeeeze! I recall him saying many times: "We should all just use USB plug-ins because they're universal".

[@bigwi7613]

This episode was perfect.. one of the unglitchiest stream.. video and sound perfect..aaand theres sun glare in da face 😁🤷😂

[@ConstantineFurman]

Jim is joking when he refers to "Rocky IV," but he's also not wrong. Stallone based that on a real thing. A few years before "Rocky IV" came out, the Russians were indeed "too busy" pumping steroids into their athletes at the Olympics.

I first heard the word internet spoken by Sue Ellicott on Last Call with stuttering John Melendez. With the evolution of the internet, Buffering John Melendez would be a better name.

[@dunkelmonkey]

There were only 8 minutes and 45 seconds of ad reads before you actually got started with the podcast... That's really disappointing. YOU COULDN'T EVEN REACH NINE MINUTES! You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

[@swampy6194]

...nice

[@zac6499]

The first 8:45 is essentially all ads.

[@mellowfire420]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@colbicolbiWTF]

ads end around 1:08:20 LOL jk, im all for getting revenue off of ads, i love the podcast xD but im adhd and had to realllllllly love jim to stay on the video xD almost said fk this idc about this LOL

[@haraldisdead]

Why does Forrest feel the need to do fucking tell Jim the answer?

[@jimbeam4140]

Not enough advertising for me. I need most of the podcast to be advertising before I'm interested.

[@RyoHazuki224]

Its ironic that this discussion started off talking about how future historians might look at the internet and content we have today in order to parse out true history, meanwhile during the video, Jim is in complete denial of what the first thing sold on eBay was, convinced it was a PEZ dispenser because he learned about that at the PEZ museum. Basically showing how even internet history that wasn't all that long ago can get distorted and believed by so many people until a correction is put out, and yet STILL people want to believe their original belief. In like 10 years, the damn Q anon idiots are gonna be so damn lost and confused.

[@pikasnipe1]

Almost as many ads as the internet itself.

[@Arthur_Pendragon2022]

[@DJMOJO85]

8:42 minutes of ads to kick off the podcast seems excessive...

[@TheKarmicRepairCo]

Exactly! I kept fast forwarding, wondering when the actual content begins!

Really tho? An add in front of the cold open completely ruins the cold open. Luke warm open at best. I am disappoint 😞 😔
