❤ THIS! I'm sitting here wondering / daydreaming about how sustainable this energy is! I can't recall recently - if ever - grinning and nodding appreciatively for pretty much the entire show. I've always thought of myself as a cockeyed optimist but this recurring Podcastration™️ might be the cynical infusion I've sought all my life. Optimism is nice but can get exhausting. *One serious question* though: can this be done live? or does it require post-production clean up for the (I assume) intercontinental lag? I'm asking bc if done live, a comments section might well provide the powder keg needed for a much needed New Revolution that Jefferson (?) endorsed. 😂
He's not wrong and to be serious for a moment...modern high speed rail would cut down continental U.S. plane travel, which would be good for the environment...so we won't do it because we prefer to let our outdated rail system have derailments instead.
As a half breed American-Brit who moved to the UK after 20 years in NYC, this fulfills all my political news/opinion needs. I adore everything about expanding the franchise to these excellent people. And bloody hell, Lovett got some excellent jabs in there. Now get Rhodes on there to discuss the monarchy already.
YES YES YES!!! We need this!! Now, if you can actually save us, please do. Thanks for making this, Nish and Coco (and Tommy and the Jons). Everyone, comment to help The Algorithm.
I can't believe you guys got Nish Kumar. I hope you appreciate how massive this is, for you. I am now going to go and subscribe to everything that "Pod Save the UK" has ever touched.
Coming to you from a small town in Texas, LOVING British humor: Nish Kumar is the best! And what an amazing fit in this project!!! I think this is going to be great! And also really impactful! Job well done!
I was watching this video and my husband walked in from work and without seeing the TV said “OMG NISH!” He’s stoked that one of his favorites is joining the Crooked family.
This was a lot of fun to listen during my overnight shift. Looking forward to it for sure. I also feel like now it's a must to misuse all the UK slang possible
So happy to see you “franchise” your brand! I’ve loved Nish for a hot minute, and I had an inkling from Mash Report that he could really step up into “solid news commentary with a humorous bent” rather than just SNL-style one-liners. Loving all of this for all of you (and all of us).
Doing my part to strengthen Pod Save the UK with the UA-cam algorithm by posting multiple comments here: I love Nish!!!! Because the opportunity presents itself, his political comedy comes out on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown - it's so funny and refreshing. And now we get to see him be on a program where that humor will be a feature! What a treat!
This is brilliant... Great idea. I really hope Pod Save the UK explains the details of how things actually work...like the house of Lords, first past the post and constituencies etc and then the pros and cons of our system. Pod Save America is really good at explaining the technicalities something that I have never seen in the UK. There is always the assumption that we already know how it works... Though as it's never been explained at school or the news I am not sure how people are meant to find out.
'First past the Post' is, essentially the same set up for how the country chooses the President. Lots of smaller elections (across each state) and if a candidate wins enough of those smaller elections......they get to be President (via the EC confirmation). And in both cases it isn't necessarily the person/party (UK) that gets the most votes who wins, just whomever racks up enough local election wins.
11:42 Oh. My. God! That is the best british phrase I've ever heard, *and* the funniest thing I have *_EVER_* heard on a political podcast. Immediate Subscribe!
This was delightful. Like watching your two best friends get along. But COME ON! Pod Save UK before Canada. Come on neighbour!!! We need you!!! Typing from Toronto.
Love the pod save series and can’t wait for what comes next with pod save the uk! What’s next? Pod save China or pod save Ukraine? 😂 seriously love what you guys are doing at crooked and keep up the good work!
Thanks for this conversation. I'm watching this after seeing the first Pod Save The U.K. episode. It's even more better because I've heard them all before, making it more interesting.
I loved this! I was giggling the whole time, and I was not even paying full attention. Paying bills, trying to multi task. (As Americans do quite frequently.) Seriously, do this more Crooked Media.
7:35 On the voter ID age-disparity thing: one form of ID that is allowed is a bus pass **but only for the elderly** . If you are a new/younger voter, _with the same type of bus pass ID_ , you aren't allowed to use it to vote. _Some_ have suggested that the tories are trying to disefranchise voters who would be less likely to vote for them. 🤔
I love Nish and have just been introduced to Coco... I think they will do a great job. I loved having the two teams, as it were, on here... please make it a semi-regular thing.
The vibes between these two, just wonderful! This will make my week so much better. The next referendum would be about Britain leaving the earth's crust 😂😂😂 Good thing that the water, that you drank in that moment and now gushes through your nose, is a lot better than coffee etc.
Delightful back and forth. Subscribed and shared your link with a number of like-minded groups on social media. Hoping you make a major go of it and that this was not an introductory one-off, but will be a regular "check-in" on our dear British cohort.
Omgggg yall dunno how excited i am for this. Ive been keeping up with UK politics for years and as an American watching Donald and BoJo at the same time but no one around me having any idea what I'm talking about when ranting about "THE LIES ON THE BUSES" and only vaguely aware of the US relevant rants, man its been a rough 7years lol so happy to see US reaching out across the pond. I often tell my UK friends that we (progressives but also just moderate lefties sick of authoritarians and populists) NEED to start at least educating each other on whats going on and ideally helping organize, build movements, etc. While we may be able to hold off the authoritarians this go round, i think the only way we'll be able to next time they threaten democracies at a similar scale, it will only be through international awareness + solidarity that we hold the line. 🇬🇧💙🇺🇸
It would be great to see segments contrasting things like US libertarianism vs European libertarianism. The following platform is extremely viable in most developed countries right now: - Electoral reform (UK, US, Canada, other Commonwealth nations) - UAP disclosure - Official release of consistent government Covid statistics
this was fantastic - would love more ongoing cross-national comparisons of politics in the UK and US as it all evolves. also, jon L is just saying what we're all thinking! haha. looking forward to the burns that Khan and Kumar will have at the ready at their next meet up.
Enjoyed this crossover and glad to see a UK focused Pod Save podcast. My sister is a dual citizen in Coventry and can confirm misery loves company when it comes to US and UK politics
Already have the Epi, so I probably won’t be getting the McCarty, but they’re both great. I love my Epi, but I also love the other PRS SE guitars I have and am really intrigued by all the new SE models from PRS. Thanks for the great comparison.
This was fantastic- honestly I'd love a weekly podcast where the hosts of Pod save America and Pod Save the UK just insult eachothers country 😂
Agreed. Thanks for articulating that for me. 😃
Dude seriously let’s get that going

🤣
"and like most trains in America it derailed" is some of Lovett's finest work 🤣
And we’re still smelling the toxic fumes 😆

Algorithm,

I want our nephew in London to find this!
I can't believe you guys got Nish Kumar. I hope you appreciate how massive this is, for you. I am now going to go and subscribe to everything that "Pod Save the UK" has ever touched.
Can't believe they got Coco Khan tbh, she's a great writer.
Now they've got Nish, they need to get Andy Zaltzman on as a guest on Lovett or Leave It.
@@roryowens9703 You beat me to the Zaltzman reference. Now if I can just find my .gif or .mpg of Jon Stewart saying "too Jewy" out of context. 😄
100% my feelings too!
@@roryowens9703 agreed! i want andy to get to a wider audience!
Yes... a rousing Pods Across The Pond monthly, quarterly round-up would be fantastic.
The whole viewership would have laughter induced eight packs
I love that "chat shit, get banged" played a key role in this intercultural communication session.
Coming to you from a small town in Texas, LOVING British humor: Nish Kumar is the best! And what an amazing fit in this project!!! I think this is going to be great! And also really impactful! Job well done!
This may be the biggest merging of political/comedic minds ever. Love Nish and Coco was great! Can't wait to start watching!!
So happy to see Nish and get more of an understanding of British politics. So excited for this!
I hope they do more crossover episodes. This is great.
This episode is in the "put it in my favorites that I rewatch once a year" tier. Goodness, that was funny and cathartic.
I was watching this video and my husband walked in from work and without seeing the TV said “OMG NISH!” He’s stoked that one of his favorites is joining the Crooked family.
Looking forward to this new podcast. Love Nish Kumar. And yes, please do this combined group again soon.
This was a lot of fun to listen during my overnight shift. Looking forward to it for sure. I also feel like now it's a must to misuse all the UK slang possible

That was great! And Lovett was absolutely on fire here, so many great lines!
Nish!! I'm a huge fan! Glad to see you buddy! Learning and laughing in Michigan USA.
The teamup I never knew I needed! Been a fan of Nish Kumar since his early appearances on Mock the Week.
👉🏼 Adding Philomena Cunk & Charlie Brooker to my Dream Roster. May also intersect with Paul Provenza / Satiristas. I'll ping him.
Been a fan since he tried to throw a coconut on Taskmaster
Did anyone have a better time than Jon?! Amazing episode!
I fell in love with Nish when he wrote the song “I’m always seeing you do cool stuff” on Taskmaster!
Yay! Big fan of Nish, and looking forward to getting to know Coco!
Excellent. 10/10. My only note is that this could've been 6 hours longer.
Love that this is happening! Will be here for every episode. ❤

You HAVE to do this again….bloody hilarious (and I’m an Australian) 😂😂😂
Yay, I'm psyched for this new pod. Definitely do more crossovers, this was a damned delight.
I love that they definitely didn’t get the ‘aging knuckleballer’ joke 😂
I don't think I've laughed aloud more at a Pod Save episode, and that's a high bar. We need a crossover at least twice a year!
Excellent effort, guys! More of this!
😂Definitely needed this! But us Brits are beyond saving!
This is brilliant... Great idea.

Love this! Entertaining, illuminating, hilariious. Have to ask, though, sorry, can you please do Pod Save Canada too? Some of us N° of 49 are worried!
Freaking fantastic from all involved. Please do more of these!
This just got better and better. Great content, would love to see more of these crossovers.
Great! I've been wanting to catch back up on UK politics and here you are with PSUK! And Nish is one of the hosts! I'm sold!!!
This was so much fun! 2 of my ‘fandoms’ colliding. I’m Belgian, and I was always a huge fan of Nish on the Mash Report.

I concur (also from Toronto). But at least we have Because News (on CBC Radio).
@@KristineMaitland But but but....I want more!! You are not wrong. I just want the Pod take on Canada to guide us through the next little while...
Fuck I am so up for this. Finally someone to chat through the perpetual eye roll/anxiety/anger spiral with us. Subscribed, let's goooo.
Not found oh god what now yet?
Love the pod save series and can’t wait for what comes next with pod save the uk! What’s next?
Pod save China or pod save Ukraine? 😂 seriously love what you guys are doing at crooked and keep up the good work!
Love Nish. I'm so happy to see him here.
Love Nish! Will be watching and listening to this UK pod nonstop
Been a while since I laughed this hard. This was amazing and am looking forward to more
Yaaaas! When I heard that Pod Save the UK was starting up, I had no idea that Nish would be a host. Hell yeah!
Lovett's jabs were exactly what I was thinking and I cracked up so bad.
When do we get Pod Save Canada?! We need saving up here! … please? 🇨🇦
Yes! 100% here to watch ALL of this!
Add more Pod Save Countries/themes to the family please. 💕
We who are about to consume you (via content) salute you. We need more of this cross over.
Really a good listen and watch thanks so much!!
I hope Lovett will visit the UK show sometimes they're a fantastic match in humor. I love this. Excited for more!
Thanks for this conversation. I'm watching this after seeing the first Pod Save The U.K. episode. It's even more better because I've heard them all before, making it more interesting.
Really happy this has launched. Nish and Coco are amazing.
Hi Nish!! So happy to see you again! You're my Romesh. ;)
"what do you give the woman who stole everything" 😬😬😬 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 dying mate.
Wonderful. Will check out the UK version.
Definitely looking forward to this new podcast.
I loved this! I was giggling the whole time, and I was not even paying full attention. Paying bills, trying to multi task. (As Americans do quite frequently.) Seriously, do this more Crooked Media.

I love Nish and have just been introduced to Coco... I think they will do a great job. I loved having the two teams, as it were, on here... please make it a semi-regular thing.
Great stuff. Looking forward to this.
I already love their voices, can't wait to hear more PSUK
The vibes between these two, just wonderful! This will make my week so much better.
The next referendum would be about Britain leaving the earth's crust 😂😂😂 Good thing that the water, that you drank in that moment and now gushes through your nose, is a lot better than coffee etc.
As a Brit now living in the US and an avid follower of PSTW this is coolest thing I have seen in a long, long time. Go for it guys!
Yay! We get our own pod ! Excited for this and will tune in for
Love this! Thanks so much
Wonderful! Will be very nice to get to the UK perspective.
I am loving all of this energy! Fantastic.
So looking forward to this. Love nish kumar.
This was great, love Nish (from Mash on UA-cam), first time watching Coco, but she’s awesome too! Excited to see the new podcast!
Delightful back and forth. Subscribed and shared your link with a number of like-minded groups on social media. Hoping you make a major go of it and that this was not an introductory one-off, but will be a regular "check-in" on our dear British cohort.
Definitely do this more often! Let's Tommy flex his world-o bonafides. Lovett was on point!
We need a Pod Save Canada as well, theyr'e doing the same thing with universal health care here, trying to hand off all the work to private companies.
This was so funny! You guys should definitely collab on some more pods!
This was amazing, you guys need to do this again!
This is awesome! Nish is back and with Pod Save! Yea!!!
YES do this more often! What great banter you all have, thanks
Ahahahahahahahahah!!! Amazing. Nish and Coco are so perfect! So excited~
Wow freaking LOVE Coco & Nish this is gonna be fantastic!! Can I listen even tho I’m in the US or will the Gazpacho come and arrest me?

Damn but I'm glad Nish Kumar is on this. I can't wait :)
The woman who stole everything was Queen Vickie.
But I think Elizabeth the first got the ball rolling.
It would be great to see segments contrasting things like US libertarianism vs European libertarianism.
The following platform is extremely viable in most developed countries right now:

I love the idea of Joe Rogan locked up in the British museum with just a plaster mannequin left behind in his podcasting chair.
This was HILARIOUS. So good.
