They should do an episode on the Donner Party. It's a brutal but fascinating story of human survival.

[@rathersane]

Gary Larsen once did a single panel cartoon about the Donner Party Monument. It consisted of a statue of a severed human foot between two slices of bread.

[@mikey8915]

I can die happy! Jim the show in London ON was amazing!! I have now been roasted with my fellow Canucks by Jim Jefferies on stage 😂 life complete!! 😂 I was hoping Forest was one of the openers but ohwell I'll catch him another day

[@FourOneThreeOh]

It cracks me up when Jim tells obscure jokes from my early days in the school yard. I live a stone throw from Sydney and it seems we had the same material floating around.

[@tetromiNolz]

This episode was fascinating. Gotta bring Jesse back for some more history eps!

[@FrenchSquareDancer]

One of the most interesting guests so far, full of anectdotes on the subject. Definately checking up on his book.

[@streggiari]

Jesse tells this stuff so interestingly. I would pay to go see a one man show where he just tells this story on stage.

[@kingmarx810]

Jesse Joyce was a great guest. Great stories.

[@rewindsretro1328]

Finally, geeze, i would have thought this subject would have been one of the first ones!

[@jojoe3193]

"He can't see the beauty of a Brinkley"--Ha!

[@AtypicalPaul]

There is so much crazy shit here. Definitely would be a wild movie.

[@danebrazier7337]

This podcast was so fucking good! Definitely need to make a mini series on Netflix about this story!

[@joeb588]

You guys should get other comedians on to talk about topics they’re experts in, some suggestions: - Mark Normand/Joe List: Seinfeld tv show (mark might also be able to do skateboarding) - Bobby Lee: Stardew Valley - Rick Glassman: Magic the Gathering Anyway, think it could be fun, and having comics who are big in the podcast game might help grow the pod.

[@kendriscarborough]

1:07:32 This sounds like the character storyline for Cricket in Always Sunny in Philadelphia 😅

[@natebulb]

enjoyed this

[@AtypicalPaul]

Wow, very interesting. I feel like no one knows about this story. I know I didn't, lol.

[@jasontaylor6779]

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.

[@dickjoe]

Really great guest!

[@72petchicken]

my new favorite episode. you guys never disappoint.

[@BraniusBalki]

Great show.

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

That's crazy, I was literally talking about this subject two days ago to a random stranger.

[@dieubermensch]

It's the simulation brah

[@embracethenoid9085]

It's weird how that can happen. I remember after I found out what defenstrated means I saw it in like 3 news articles.

[@emu_warrior]

It's called the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

@@emu_warrior how?

[@MrReallogs]

ive learned alot from this :) but ill probably forget it i mean i probably knew it before lol.

[@birdmann9197]

There is a recording of Lincoln.

[@jaredfaidley8391]

Holy fuck I just heard Jesse on Probably Science!

[@mattbeeze2786]

Man come to halifax canada

[@iansheppard6735]

Not a YMH fan then Jim - definitely need a film starring Nadav and Enny

[@rem299]

Is he greg kinnears brother lol? his eyes are identical.

[@jaredfaidley8391]

garbanzo JIm. Garbanzo, and that's my joke.

[@clint20040]

yep

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

edwin booth saved robert todd lincoln life.

[@emu_warrior]

I can't believe they didn't bring this up

[@jjaronske6445]

"Manhunter" remake = RED DRAGON. Literally the same script. Definitely qualifies as a "good remake"

[@gusgus8134]

I laughed with Jack. Be nice to Jack.

[@BraniusBalki]

Well I don't know about this...

[@ejyounggun08]

Even by today's standards Edwin Booth's first wife was gorgeous. Mary Devlin Booth. His second wife was pretty too, Mary McVicker Booth.

[@PlayNiceFolks]

Charlie Chaplin will be remembered literally as long as the human race exists. Him and any other big star at the start of "moving pictures". A better example would be someone like James Stewart.

[@jefflabbecomedy]

What... sorry, what on earth is a shinaya twain

[@csbro7045]

2nd, so close lol

[@davidkilzer2462]

Cocaine a helluva drug.

[@andrewrivera1054]

Heroin's much better

[@PlayNiceFolks]

I miss meth

[@lanesumers5080]

How does a show that over an hour long have 44 views in 6 minutes? Lol

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

how do you think YT works?

[@jewsco]

Because you don’t have to watch the whole show to count as a view on KZbin. Usually you only have to watch a few minutes and people watching right now count

[@emu_warrior]

BEcause people get notifications when the show is airing or pops up, and a view is counted as watching a minute or two

[@moodfm5673]

and the award for most yeeted out of their mind guest goes to........ johnny "i cant tell what drug hes on because his pupils are small but not tiny, but hes clearly on uppers of some sort" johnnyson

[@rewindsretro1328]

Finally, geeze, i would have thought this subject would have been one of the first ones!
