    Jim was one of the first comedians I really loved. "I Swear To God" was the special. It's been a while, but he had a joke about 9/11 and how Muslims can't drink or eat pork. I think he said "You take bacon and beer away from me, and I'll fly a plane into a fuckin' building"

    As Jim here skilfully explains it's about a balanced drug diet. Alcohol without coke makes you sloppy. And coke without alcohol is like too much coffee. It's when you combine these two that the magic starts to happen :D

    Jim’s method of quitting smoking is the same method I used to finally kick the drinking habit. You just tell yourself “why in the sweet fuck would I willingly drink ethanol? Or put anything in my lungs other than fresh air? I’m not a fucking moron, and that’s moron shit”

    my buddy won tickets from a radio station to see Jim at Constitution Hall back in 2017. the station apparently gave the same tickets to two winners. the attendant told us they were already scanned then walked us to them where there were two ladies already there. we were like alright bummer but they can have them so somebody at least sees the show. the attendant had us wait at the box office area and we assumed we were probably SOL. after like 15 minutes just as he got on she came back and walked us down to floor seats way better than the balcony seats from the radio station and it was probably the funniest 90 minutes of my life.

And that those side wings and extra hair he has act as an ANCHOR for his wig to be attached.

    Accountant here working and interacting with multiple current and prospective client leadership members (CFO/VP/ Controller). I was able to perform my tasks, but it kept taking a toll on me when needing to communicate with clients as a sole subject matter expert for my company to clients. I always concerned myself about choosing the exact specific words in order to not say the wrong thing. My smartwatch would track just how intense meetings were for me even though nothing negative was happening. Always been introverted but able to operate within social interactions (also a server/bartender for years). But i was able to mask myself by compartmentalizing my work and being good at whatever work I did. Learning a bit more about Asperger's/Autism, and I'm identifying some traits that potentially put me on the spectrum. I'm thankful for content such as this helping myself and others to understand themselves better

    I "met" Jim at a bar in Atlanta. My buddies and I walked into "The Pool Hall" at the Buckhead Bars in 2014 and there stands Jim, alone at the bar... 1000 yard stare engaged. BLACKED OUT.
    Anyhow, I walked up and said "Hey man, sorry to bother you, but I'm a big fan and just wanted to meet you". He looks at me, eyes crossing, barley standing, one arm on the bar holding himself up (he's literally mouth breathing) and says... "You got any blow?" I shook my head and said no. He just sorta grunts and turns back toward the bar.

    I've had plenty of American and British chocolates, and the chocolate itself basically tastes the same. I got so hyped to try European chocolate after hearing all these Europeans bashing American chocolate, only to find out that there's really not much of a difference. I've even ordered some "nicer" Belgian and French chocolates, and they basically just taste like... chocolate. American chocolate sometimes has a bit of a pukey aftertaste because of that one preservative, but that's pretty much the only difference I noticed (and you only really notice it in the standard Hershey's chocolate bars - those are definitely shitty, to the point where they shouldn't be looked at as the "standard" of American chocolate in the first place). I tried all of the popular British candies, and was underwhelmed by all of them.
    Granted, pretty much any chocolate is gonna be better than the simple Hershey's chocolate bar, but I try to avoid that one unless it's Halloween or something. Otherwise, our chocolate basically tastes the same as the British chocolate, and our major brands like Snickers and Reese's are wayyy better than any of the popular British chocolate bars.

      Mate, I did not know how much I missed Talkin' Shit until your comment just now. The golden age of podcasting when it was still on iPods.

      They had some awesome guests back then too. I remember hearing Bobby Lee for the first time on there with the whole darker than oprah's nipple thing. Plus heard Miss Pat on there too. What a career she's had!! @@timothywright5369

    I love how Jim does multiple great different American accents/impressions, and despite Mark having been to Australia and Sam having been Jim's friend for fifteen years, they just can't help but fucking annihilate Jim's accent every time they do him
