Ahh now my addiction is complete. 3am a bunch of weed and my favorite people on earth. Jack, Jim, and Kelly. Even Forrest. Try to smile bro it's not illegal.

My Tuesday evening addiction in New Zealand. Hackett. Blackheart and friends. Coffee, Bong and tissues ready to pull.

[@JBond-zf4dj]

Omg... Canadian here...I watched your NZ Taskmaster and absolutely loved it! I want more NZ!! The second season, I think they were all potheads. 😂 And most of them from the first season. I feel like we're all cousins from another continent.

[@BoldRam]

@@JBond-zf4dj Hahaha, Kia-ora my Canuk cuzzy!! It's easier to count the kiwis who aren't potheads. NZ Taskmaster is excellent isn't it? I'm so happy they cast comedians who understand what it's all about!! Stay safe and well 🙏❤

You guys should add the link Jim first talks about, for tickets for the virtual event, to the description. I know some people are too lazy without it🤦‍♂️

[@Salty_fenrir]

I would love a cut of all of the intros to these podcasts. They get me everytime. Great content, hilarious and a ton of interesting info.

[@dash-x]

I’ve had the nettle rash. I grew up living my summers in England and was playing kick ball with the other kids. No one told me. Though I did learn that there’s a leaf near it that helps. I find it a bit unfair because I warned my English family who stayed with us in the states about the goats head prickers. They’re the worst!

[@thathabsfan1431]

I love this podcast so much, I like the new studio guys, I can't believe it's been 70+ episodes hopefully there will be many more!

[@jaffar386]

and if god loves us all equally, none of the next episodes will suck even a tiny fraction as bad.

[@AJ-ut8cz]

I went to get checked out for a hernia and when I got the test results sent to me the specialist had written that my testicles were "unremarkable" And that hurt my feelings a bit.

[@AJ-ut8cz]

My entire family has always called it Jack in the crack.

[@kcc-karenschroniccorner9432]

Great episode. I’m doing my PhD on the use of plain language summaries as a way to communicate health research to a lay, non-expert audience because I saw so much misinformation in Facebook groups for people with chronic illness.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

I hope your PhD is going well. I think plain language is very important. I'm a teacher/tutor and quite recently I was teaching a 7-yr-old boy violin and when he played many wrong notes over and over he got frustrated but suddenly spoke up to his mother (who was sitting in on the class) and said "Mum, I'm getting my anxiety attack!". He then ran over to her and she gave him his water bottle and gave him a hug and a moment to breathe.... I just thought that *that* was a little bit too much to be coming out of a 7-yr-old's mouth. He'd obviously heard the word elsewhere... and it's also completely normal to be frustrated with a task that you can't quite achieve. Literally everyone goes through these times. To call it "anxiety" though, just straight off the bat. I wasn't completely comfortable with that. Another instance was (just as a little experiment for myself): I put my coffee cup on a table during a lesson and asked my (9-yr-old) student if that was okay and they said 'yeah that's fine'. I then put my cup on the very edge of the table and said "what about if I leave it here?" and they replied, "UGH! NO! That's giving me anxiety, I wont play if you leave it there the whole time!!!". I moved it back of course. I think young children are using this word a little too much and at points when it's totally unnecessary. The world is changing and I'm not liking it.

[@jesus_walks_]

The face Jack made when he finds out about the meat pies in the crust in Australia , is the same face we’ll make when there’s an announcement that there’s no more world hunger.

"The freakonomics of medicine." Love it!

This was a great episode! The guest was so personable and knowledgeable without being condescending.

[@jaffar386]

i honestly dont have the time to come up with a better thing to say than i hate you.

[@jordanlatimer2101]

I'm pretty happy for Jack standing up to Forrest! I've been listening to this Podcast since November and Jack has taken a lot of hits from Forrest haha Congratulations Jack! What a great Podcast! You guys have helped me and my transition from Ohio to San Diego, CA! I use to deliver for Fedex and listen to this show while delivering. Now I landed my dream job here in San Diego, where I can work from home and watch your KZbin videos! Awesome Work!

[@CycleInLondon]

One of the best guests. Very good knowledge and as funny as Jim

[@detdatho]

I would like to see an episode on Money Laundering. As an AML employee it would be awesome to spread awareness of stuff like how young people are being used as money mules and stuff like that.

[@stevedeans8773]

Brilliant podcast! Love your work.

My first ever podcast I've ever even found. And Jim is so awesome! And my son is called Forrest , so awesome to hear someone else called Forrest (were in the UK) Looking forward to watching it and all the others you guys have done yay 😀 thanks

I'd like to participate on the live event, unfortunatelly it's during the week and I'm on GMT (2 a.m. here). Great iniciative nonetheless, good to know USD 2 go to charity, thinking of buying it just to support you guys. Keep it up!

[@teusvandermeij7287]

Wow, that intro raised the bar!

[@embracethenoid9085]

I hate you for making this joke. Not really, but that should never have been said by any person.

[@embracethenoid9085]

On laughter being the best medicine, I was getting a wart cut out of my finger and I'm wincing. The doctor asks if that hurts, of course I said yeah, and he says, "that's strange I didn't feel a thing." I laughed and he went back to digging the root of that thing out.

Speaking of COPS, highly recommend the podcast "Running from COPS". It's about the show cops and they did a full blown study on it watching like 800 episodes. It's pretty crazy.

Liking the dog. Still hating Forrest and his monotone voice. Like the antithesis of Jim.

Jim are you sober from the piss cause it's got me interested what time I book the perth show. It's either 7 or 10. If your drinking then I'm going the later show. Other wise sober there earlier one so I can then head out drinking. Ps. Jack your a legend, Kelly the show wouldn't be the same without you. Forrest you grumpy bloke, nar you're alright.

They just opened a Taco Bell in midland in perth Jim, and people lined up overnight for the opening of it! Piles of people were turned away because they were told there was no chance they’d be served before it closed. So much for it not lasting a minute here.

All it takes is one moment of humiliation and the annoying prick act is over. It shouldn't be hard to outwit Forrest and make him look like an idiot. Half his brain isn't there. Yeah I'm an arsehole, but I know how to deal with other arseholes. P.S. this is what you call advice, take it or leave it. Keep up the good work Jack!

They eat more dog in China than South Korea. Far more. Also, in the UK, *Subway legally can't call their subs/rolls, bread.* Due to not meeting food standards & *Hershey's can't refer to their bars as being chocolate; only chocolate flavoured.* Same reason.

How many people do you think that believe misinformation watch something like this are going to go "oh, i guess ive been wrong all along, i need to do my own research from now on!" Rather than "my worldview doesn't support this, must say something about liberal socialists rather than face my cognitive dissonance!" Im gonna say 0.

FACTS 💯

[@AmayzArt]

fantastic

[@paulmundt3990]

Many journalists also report on self-published academic preprints, which have not yet undergone any kind of formal peer review, and are, until peer-reviewed, no more reliable than some idiot ranting on a blog. Dressing it up as a paper doesn't magically bestow any kind of merit upon the findings. This can be especially problematic, as often the initial claims and conclusions are made as fantastical as possible by new researchers and only later dialed back in when it's clear there's insufficient evidence to support them. It's as Jim says, the whole method of reporting on scientific findings needs an overhaul.

[@buildfear9507]

You're right - from now on I'll take my medical advice from Paul Mundt on KZbin comments.

This guy thinks the FDA takes too long to approve medicines, AND is pro-medical advertising? I have a feeling this guy is paid by some of these pharmaceutical companies (which is why he gave a word of defense for propaganda). Now, to be clear, I am not saying that my feeling is correct -- just that Jim would be wise to not change his mind so quickly when faced with this one person's opinion. It's noble to change your mind when faced with new information; but be careful that the information is correct (which is an ironic point for this episode).
