What a delightful episode to be part of! Hope I got everything right. 😄 Thanks for having me back on!

[@gnosisisongoing574]

This was a great episode, good to see you again, Guy. This is twice now that your topic is shit I was already a little familiar with. First off - IT IS THE DAMN BIRDS. I don't know where you grew up or where your people come from, but you're absolutely right. These Cornish hybrid aint bred right. Theyre bred to get so big so fast their legs can't hold them up and they can have heart attacks if they are not slaughtered before theyre like 7 -12 weeks old. You can't get any flavor into a bird on commercial feed in 10-12 weeks, thats why its all tasteless.Different rant.. Enjoyed the Disney episode. My family was in Central Florida before Disney, my grandad was a teacher and started working weekends at the Magic Kingdom a few years after it opened (and his kids were about out of highschool) He worked Main Street, guest greeter, crowd control, that sort of odd job for a while. He had been a Cpl. in the Army Transportation Corps, was a bit of a train nerd, and eventually he got trained and certified to operate the steam trains at the park - The "WDWRR" So - if you rode the train at the Magic Kingdom on a weekend from the early 1980's to 1998, or any day between 1998 and 2003, there is a good chance my grandfather was either the Engineer or the Conductor. Back to this episode: My grandma is a cousin of a guy named Lee Cummings, who was Harlan Sanders nephew (The Colonel's sister's kid) and he started his own chain later called Lee's Famous Recipe. I haven't had it in a long time, it was good when I was younger. It got sold to Shoney's at some point, and Artemis Restaurants bought it a couple years ago. I haven't figured out exactly how Lee was related my grandma - but Henryville Indiana is within a 50 mile radius of a whole herd of Cummingses along the Ohio River - they were all over "Kentuckiana" between Evansville and Louisville. They give out the Colonel title in Kentucky for all sorts of things. My great grandfather was a Kentucky Colonel and I think he got it because at one point he was the Superintendent of Ashland Oil refineries, who make Valvoline.

@@gnosisisongoing574 awesome! And thank you!

the look on jacks face when he makes jim laugh always makes me smile

The craziest thing I learned about Colonel Sanders was that from 1964 until he died in 1980, he lived in Mississauga, Ontario.

[@user-kp7xg1yi6k]

I liked the Norm McDonald' Colorel Sanders impressions. He cracked me up!

The best!

Every time I see the Colonel's face on the KFC logo cant help but think it looks like Rolf Harris

White pepper is like white rice. They take black pepper and remove the outer layer. As with brown rice they remove the outer layer and you get white rice.

i can't belive you didn't try KFC in Iceland when you had a gig here which i by the way went to see and was great! but i was smashed on beers still awesome, i'm a huge fan of yours for years!

Drunk Icelandic KFC sounds soooo good.

40:19 Kentucky wanted to make Hunter S. Thompsom a Colonel, and he said he would only do it if they made Johnny Depp one too. They agreed and they were made Kentucky Colonels. They both were born and raised in Kentucky (the dark and bloody ground). It's funny because Hunter always had a bit of a grudge against Kentucky. He felt they ran him out, and made him join the Airforce, or face jail time. Then all these years later they wanted to honor him. He took Johnny for the ride. I wonder what HST's 11 herbs and spices were.

[@PointlessNostalgia]

Wow, that is super cool! Great knowledge!

[@AtypicalPaul]

Reba McEntire even played him, lol.

[@PointlessNostalgia]

Yes! Great one!

[@40ofchips]

Used to love KFC. Could live with the fact it is overpriced and sometimes the pieces are tiny like they came from a pidgin.And they only half fill the chips. But when they shrunk the size of the gravy to the size of a thimble that was the last straw. Haven't had it since, and I tell the kids it's poison when they ask for it. Thats KFC Australia.

[@AzureRook]

Never knew why Japanese Christmas always included chicken like Turkey at Thanksgiving, very interesting lol

[@badad0166]

He sold the rights to Canada for 1 million (say it like Dr, Evil) dollars. For some reason, it was called "Scott's Chicken Villa" for a time, in Ontario. I did an essay for him in Junior High (Middle School?). Compelling individual. In his 20's or 30's he drove a car across a wooden bridge that was not up to the task and ended up in the river with a head gashed open to reveal some major skull. He hushed concerned onlookers and held his head together for a couple of hours till everything gelled up. Yup.

[@Trav_Can]

1:11:43 That's so damn cool.

[@killum109]

Australian nationality came into existence on 26 January 1949, So George Lazenby was born as a "British subject". The words "British Passport" were on the covers of Australian passports until 1967. So he counts as a British James Bond.

[@emu_warrior]

that's not even true, they were made in 1901, and issues australian federal passports in 1912. stop spreading misinformation

[@paulwheatland7306]

I've never been out of Australia, but I have heard that our chocolate is the best in the world, and I bet you can't get a good feed of fish and chips in Greece or Cyprus because all the best fish and chip shop owners migrated to Australia years ago 👍

[@resolecca]

Hey, the yes vote lost and we are not racist 😂😅😂

[@potkettle9020]

Lived in England in the mid 2000’s and used to love the rip off KFC’s in London Suburbs. Reckon every state got a jersey. Tennessee Fried Chicken, Louisiana Fried Chicken, etc. while Chicken Cottage was a small time franchise cause def more than 3 of those bad boys. Anyways they were always good for a late night fight between English Afro/Carribean Youth in the finest matching tracksuit and an Angry Polish guy. Many times mayonnaise and other condiments entered the fray. Good memories or maybe it was just the cocaine. Love ya work Jim 😂🎉❤

[@aliengranpa]

Unfortunately there's no Wisconsin fried chicken.

Might have been the coke, always turned me into Evel Kaneval 😂
