[@ejyounggun08]

Jack's vending machine joke was underappreciated. I heard ya, little man.

[@herbiedurbie3923]

I like the idea of the expert responding after Jim's had a chance to answer each question.

[@GLENC0C0]

Agreed, would be an interesting take

[@gregbeck906]

Also, agreed. That would keep the guest in the conversation the whole time.

[@dawleymatthew]

They did it on the jay leno episode

[@gregbeck906]

@@dawleymatthew I have not seen that episode yet, thanks!

[@Leftyotism]

Glad they said it and then totally did not forget about it. xD

[@JJJCHEVY]

Maritimer in Canada, I've eaten 4 whole lobsters in one sitting. Family buys 40-60 of them from the fishermen for an August feast every year when the local season starts. Can confirm, shits are a bit pinkish after.

[@pjsw]

This was a lot of fun didn't expect to enjoy something on the royals so much

[@OfficialFingazMC]

I live how shocked Forrest and Kelly are about how much Jim knows. I'd say most people in England knew all of this and I'm not Royalist or anything. I think it's just really interesting.

[@stevelaffan7307]

Jim we need you to come back to Toronto, love you man.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

1:22:24 "Much HHAAAARRR- *DERRRRR* " ....good lord.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

33:42 "She lifts up one cheek..." hahaha, oh Jim :P

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

33:33 - The Queen's body language question ahah

[@Studeb]

I know the joke "Poorfearia - The fear of being poor" may seem obvious, but I didn't think of it, and laughed out loud.

[@colinmackay4681]

Hey Jim in Canada, for each province the Union Jack is used in these flags still to this day.

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

Revisiting this episode just now and picking up the little gem at 1:01:41... that was a funny exchange!

[@mitchellandrews984]

Forrest rocking the South Sydney Rabbitohs hat!!!!

[@jefflabbecomedy]

59:08 "Your mother" 😱😱😭🤣🤣🤣

[@Mexon20]

As a Sydney Roosters Supporter it grinds my gears to see Forest in a Souths hat.....

[@crisrobinson3092]

Haven't listened to this episode yet but know I will love it. That is how you know a great podcast!! Well done Jim, Forrest, Kelly, Jack, and everyone who is a part of this. Joining Patreon.

Jim always provides excellent comic relief

Favorite episode so far! Though I love them all

[@resolecca]

49:44 Forrest is correct in New Zealand we were going to adopt a black flag with the silver fern which had been our defacto flag for awhile but then ISIS came and the prime minister (at the time) said the flag looked too much like the ISIS flag (which it didn't) so then we had a referendum. The problem was the referendum drug on for a year a half everyone was sick of it and there wasn't really a clear winner everyone liked so most people just said f**k it, we'll stick to the original flag. Now ISIS isn't really in the news so much I think we should adopt our defacto black and with silver fern. The referendum we are currently having (not sure if its official yet) is whether to officially be called Aotearoa, stay with New Zealand, or be hyphened to Aotearoa-New Zealand

[@jethrocruden1925]

Aotearoa is way better than being compared to a part of the Netherlands.

[@northcountrybhoy]

I've got a massive Lazer Kiwi flag ready for when Glastonbury is a thing again.

[@resolecca]

@@jethrocruden1925 i agree

[@danielpoissonnier]

The New Zealand flag nowadays might as well just be the chinese communist party.

[@AuntyAwesome]

@@danielpoissonnier grow up and read something

[@chewbaccasaw5232]

On the smoking going outside Jim is totally right Some of my best work was done outside in those areas

[@GREY666KILLER]

At the very end I thought the guest's gonna show us his british weewee! 😂😂😂

[@AJ-ut8cz]

My country tis of thee was actually the US national anthem before the official adoption of the star spangled banner, and yes it did rip off the tune for God save the queen but that was supposed to be a figurative middle finger.

[@emdiar6588]

The plagiarism was down to a lack of originality and the need for a familiar tune which every one knew already. It was not a middle finger. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,

[@NovaLegends0]

i think you might've mixed up the super bowl teams. i believe it's the Los Angeles Rams VS Cincinnati Bengals

[@Jippa_33]

Dr. Jeremy was great! And I’m glad to see he was wearing pants 👖

[@saar144]

Professor

[@turnerwright]

"BOB SLED THE QUEEN!"

[@grahamcullen5329]

The guy is talking out his arse regarding royal costs. Monarchy keeps £70million of the crown estates income. Plus tax payers cover all security & travel cost & some of the "household" upkeep, approx £35+million per year. Plenty abolishment supporters in the UK.

[@AtypicalPaul]

Rock shop "Get your rocks off" lol

[@drmojo5439]

I love the fact that he brought up the need for a nice hotel in Fort Myers. I saw him there 6 months ago or so and shortly thereafter had a meet and greet after the live idkat podcast. Almost the entire 2 minutes, Jim was talking about how bad we needed a good hotel as if I could afford to erect one. Fucking awesome. Forest: if you were there, why the hell didn't you open for Jim?!

[@lough1959]

Ft. Meyers, FL? Yikes! Stuart is just as bad! FL is the 9th ring of Hell!

[@mattkno9199]

good show. is that a platinum rolex? keep up the good work guys.

Just a note: Presidential libraries are built via private fundraising.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. a 2 or 3 pounds of lobster...mmnmmmmm.....heck yes!

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

The interaction at 1:01:41 is extremely British ahaha

[@jennklein1917]

It was the then PM of Australia when she visited Australia Sir Robert Menzies a loyal monarchist

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Can someone explain what a red eye is? I've never been abroad...

[@jcrodri1003]

Why don't they Remake King Ralph with Jim as Ralph?

[@zeewhat]

Jim knoes a lot about this!

[@TheSteveBoyd]

Porphyria is the reason Prince wrote "Purple Rain". 🤣

[@williambintzer8128]

Well, we've done WW2 stuff, we've done British Queen stuff, I think we need some Churchill stuff.

[@ChesterPerry187]

An episode on a utter prick, can’t wait.

[@matttrafton2725]

Aussie sting rays are to DIE for.

[@lemmy9942]

So strange seeing the Aussie with a baseball hat and the American with an NRL hat

[@petew4101]

Is Forrest wearing a Rabbitohs hat? Respect!

[@griffinpeddicord2914]

Which hotel was referenced (not the discount lodge)?

[@colerieger7300]

Live in a Commonwealth Country and you just know this shit. I played along, I knew a lot of the answers too, about as well as Jim. It just seeps in.

[@ceasarcruz7211]

I watched this last night and I woke up today and the queen was dead RIP

[@61percentodicarica]

They really should give the host more time

[@AtypicalPaul]

I like king Ralph too lol

[@Activemeasures2023]

The melody for God Save the King is also the same as the old German Empires national anthem.

[@549BR]

Some countries are part of the United Kingdom, like Ireland, but are not a British Commonwealth. Or, so I've heard.

[@thescr]

Forrest rocking a bunnies hat! Hell yes!! Up the bunnies!

[@jennklein1917]

I'm an Aussie and I knew most of the quiz correctly, we are a colony of theirs after all

[@emdiar6588]

We tend to think of you not so much as a colony; but affectionately as our cooler, younger siblings who went backpacking somewhere nice and liked the weather so much they stayed. You send us a post card now and then, and we're happy about that.

[@scott9751]

That's one Kermit the Frog sounding dude

[@bloozee]

It was Menzies ... no later PM would EVER say that.

[@bloozee]

Hawaii flag has a union jack in the corner.

[@cmcculloch1]

If Ray Romano/ Kermit did lobster rolls

[@allenlord3679]

We almost need a I KNOW ABOUT THAT because I'm starting to wonder what Jim does know.🤔😂🤭

[@warren52nz]

Every time I hear a price that ends in ".99" I think *_"these guys are selling to morons so it's probably crap"_* because only a moron would think that $9.99 isn't *_TEN DOLLARS!_*

[@bloozee]

Have you guys swapped hats??? Is that a South Sydney cap?

[@davidtodd3401]

Is Forrest wearing a South Sydney Rabbitohs cap? ❤️ Forrest, you're the fucking man

[@lough1959]

I thought AU hated rabbits. Considered them crop-eating pests. Isn't that why they tried "Rabbit-proof Fencing"? You really didn't think that would work, did ya?

[@ddmarsh21]

What kind of doggie is that? My adopted pooch looks really similar but with black fur. We are always wondering about her breed.

[@VHShit]

I hate it when the big white guy with the glasses interrupts. The dog is cute.

[@asmondhawk1124]

Yaaaaay

They are not kidding about America's best value inn. I live in FL and those hotels 100% are all crackmotels. This is definitely one of the best podcasts. Comedians just bullshitting gets kinda old pretty quick

[@jool7793]

Any hotel where your door opens out to the parking lot is a crappy hotel.

[@michaelthompson5967]

I'm a disabled veteran. Am willing to be pa for whatever money.

[@rlud304]

The US national anthem is also ripped off from a British song. Look up the melody to "The Anacreontic Song," a drinking song.

[@backseatgamer7367]

Sorry Jimmy I think you were eating seafood extender??? Ask him what it is...

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

how can one buy a baseball cap like Forrest is wearing?

[@MoNercy]

It's team merch for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, a rugby league team in Australia. Give them a search.

[@cheg4070]

What breed of dog is that ??

[@gart9680]

What's a lobster roll? A roll with lobster filling? So, a lobster sandwich? *Also, that professor,* has a middle/upper middle class southern accent. Still pretty posh. He's not, by any stretch, working class.

[@jool7793]

It’s a sandwich with shredded cold lobster drenched in mayo. It taste like mayo. Fat American food.

Get that god damn bunnies hat off Forrest’s head.

[@DivXDemonRik]

So, What is the superbowl, is that like the F.A cup?

[@jool7793]

It’s a yearly competition . The fattest Americans gather at a stadium and eat soup.

[@lough1959]

@@jool7793 WRONG! It's body painting yourself as a bright orange, shirtless ram while barb-b-q-ing drunk out of the back of your 4X4 Dodge Ram truck in the parking lot (tailgating). It's also the time of year when Budweiser spends millions of $$$ to air a 30-sec commercial w/ Clydesdales that will never, ever be seen again. Meanwhile... Inside the stadium 2 teams of large, athletic men wearing shoulder pads, helmets and VERY TIGHT PANTS line up and face each other. When the ball is snapped, the opposing teams attack each other and do their best to chase down the guy w/ the ball before he gets to the other side of the field. The NFL Prod. Co. films the action w/ numerous cameras, from every angle. The slo-mo replays are great! Love the American Football!
