Political Polling | I Don't Know About That with Jim Jefferies

The consensus is in: Jim doesn’t understand how polls work. Luckily our expert Joshua Doss knows enough within a margin of error (that’s a polling term!)

One of the best experts I've seen on this podcast. Excellent episode, learned a ton.

[@philthall]

I’m from Australia 1 it’s not a day off for voting 2 No free sausage sizzle 3 I just got a fine of $160 for not voting 4 License suspended if you don’t pay your fine

[@zac6499]

Joshua is a great guest!

[@Vimmz]

Statistics and skewing of those are always interesting, but this dude even dipped his toe into linguistics and etymology. Smart expert!

[@Mexon20]

Voting in Australia typically happens on a Saturday!!

[@williamgodin1110]

Love the podcast!

[@ReallyBama]

Voting that doesn't matter "Oh yeah, primaries" 😂💀

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

26:05 wow, Jim's really struggling to hold down some food! Hahah. For a second I thought perhaps a whole olive and potato chip were going to fly out!

[@wulfgold]

Good guest, interesting + informative + pretty good for a general lack of bias + the dude did state near the start he "leans to the Left". Would have been good to get more on media bias + I really wanted to know what his best/funniest "F-off" response from someone being polled was?

[@AxeMan808]

This is actually super good info from Joshua!

[@ChronosNoova]

As a Pole, I just find it funny when someone tries to insult me by calling me a "Polack". This word sounds like an insult in English speaking peoples' heads, but in Polish, word "Polak" (pronounced the same) means actually "a Pole". How could I be insulted by someone accurately naming my nationality in my own language? :)

[@dash-x]

*Jimmothy, I would wager your kiddo knows a lot of those songs from gaming. I learned that from my baby brother. I was shocked how he knew similar era songs you were talking about, and when I asked HOW he knew these bands he said from various games he played* 😹✨🫶🏻✨

[@ozsuncoast]

Hey everyone - IDKAT you mob are great mate.

[@jeffblackmon5016]

Hank is going to become a Johnny Cash fan and Jim's going to hate it.

[@edwardlowrie2735]

Well done good sir..

[@ozsuncoast]

Farrk it's 12.55am in Oz.

[@panisavva9066]

Respect to Bill Burr that always makes a good showing on every recent podcast.

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

What a cliffhanger!

[@williamgodin1110]

Jack looks like Dave Grohl if he was calmly taking part in a podcast. Forest looks like he should try intermittent fasting.

[@preston9189]

Fantastic episode

[@qwertyuiopgarth]

Polling often misses the 'why' someone holds an opinion. I do not like quite a bit about [Politician], but that person is far more supportive of my interests than [Other Politician], but too often a low rating for one politician is all too often assumed to mean that the other politician has more support than actually exists.

[@josechung7713]

Veep is probably the most accurate show about politics.

[@thomasthompson5613]

Jack gets a 10 in confidence this episode.

[@przemek120281]

Next episode: Poland and poles

[@AxeMan808]

Frontline & NOVA. I liked MacNeill/Lehrer Report and MacGlouphin Group too. Amanpour & Co is pretty good - more international in scope.

[@stewdude1857]

i doubt JIm iwll see this or hear but the local news here dod a story last night on the ADF helicopter crash that claimed his nephew last year. it was about the and might be worth a view. Channel 7 brisbane ran it. Condolenses and looking forward to see the show later this year.

[@mdimo77]

I hope the fine is only $20. I haven't voted in a decade

[@meelismagi2043]

Estonia has been doing their voting through apps/online since 2005 and it works sublimely. It's all connected to ID/Passport.

[@skoll_2024]

Couldn’t happen in the states “The machines are rigged!”

Now you could say, ‘I haven’t been screwed since the Trump Administration , that’s why I’m looking forward to the Election, looks like I’m gonna get screwed again!’. Just a Joke people, not a Political statement. 😅

[@user-kinggreatalmost]

Is IDK dying?😢 I’ll keep watching if y’all keep posting!!

[@Jim674the18]

Feels like it really

[@BasedGod-ey5ee]

its never been huge....people just dont want to learn things anymore

[@joshalsea]

So you're gonna stop watching if they keep posting? 😂😂

[@user-kinggreatalmost]

@@joshalsea exactly you get it

[@emdiar6588]

@@BasedGod-ey5ee Or maybe people don't want to learn things from people who think Lapland is fictitious.

[@khazbaruk5996]

Hey yall could take a poll off these comments. Look how many people just don't give a shit about politics. Theyd probably prefer a jet fighter guest. 😂

[@93Enthusiast]

Narcs for the 1%

[@williamcalkins2733]

I've worked at polling places in Los Angeles and on the till we closed the polls at8pm and the drop off places for count and really in a 6mile drive and somehow the poles had counts for that day. Before I made it there . And I'm like how did they get that count for LA that fast their would be a line of cars just to drop them off and I would still till 11pm and they would say all the counts are in and their will be aline of cars that have not dropped them off .. and I'm not talking mail in votes

[@jared6981]

First!

[@nartouzumaki8232]

​@@missthang4982 I bet you haven't rolled your eyes like that since the Reagan Administration

[@BasedGod-ey5ee]

is this the first black expert lol

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

There was Astrology featuring Ricky Williams, back in episode #40. When you see the words "expert" and "astrology" in the same sentence though, I feel the world's really falling apart...

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

I guess you'd also have to "identify" which races count as "black". So, people of colour but not necessarily African-American, they've had guests like Dr. Anupam Bapu Jena, Dr. Ayanna Thomas, Dr Allen Kamrava ...? For the "Credit" episode, they had Tiffany Aliche on and I think she's African-American.

[@BasedGod-ey5ee]

@@liamnevilleviolist1809 wow, a real fan here, ive watched every episode, but i cant remember cuz of alcohol....but....if they ever did a black/african studies...u should very well BE the expert🙌

[@MrMurraypants]

One thing you guys didn't touch on was about how honest the actual poll workers are or are not when conducting the polls. I can imagine there being workers that get tired of getting incomplete results that just fill in whatever they like to say they've completed the poll. The fact is, none of us know how honest these people are or where their own biased lean.

[@ykook7000]

🙄

[@Nun3n]

Why? Come on, let's get some better topics Mr. Jim.

[@Rona44]

The whole premise is that Jim doesn't know the topics 😅

[@khazbaruk5996]

Broaden your interests.

[@cirick1696]

Yea, silly topic its not like theres an election or tons of polling info flying around.

[@johnjerby]

This was actually much more interesting than I anticipated.

[@thomasthompson5613]

Thank you. Like, "there's a fucking election"
