    My favourite comedian of all time, Alcoholocaust is the best special ever in my opinion. Can't believe there's a podcast I haven't seen him on, nice one mate.

    You know what's funny is you selling so-called high performance Soap for 10 bucks a bar like it turns your shower into a motivational seminar. It's soap for Christ sakes.

    I’ve watched many interviews with Jim Jefferies, and this is by far the most interesting one I’ve ever heard. Jim is a funny, intelligent guy that one a learn from, if you take the good with the bad. Thanks, very informative and entertaining stuff!

    Jim is a coward and a sellout. Look up what he did to Avi the worst of all look at what he did to Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson is a saint you can't edit his shit because he takes everybody down in real time. It's to the point every time he looks bad people ask questions of how it happened. So if you can still be a fan of Jim Jefferies after you know what he did to Avi and Jordan Peterson you're probably also a fan of Hannah Gatsby

    People in grief do not mind talking about their loved ones. My nephew also died. I call my brother when I am thinking of his son. Conversation starter. "Hey, I just had a wild dream about Billy!" "I remember the time Billy did/didn't fill-in-the-blank" We lost our brother to mental illness/drink/drugs/suicide 30 years ago, so we had a blueprint for this.

    There are so few stand ups because it's still very niche. Stand ups are like poets a couple of centuries ago. It just requires a whole lot of audience training. Other art forms are much less specific. A portrait of a person is recognizable and relatable around the world. YoYo Ma and Bach work around the world no matter who he plays it for (and he's absolutely confident in proving it). Stand up comedy is less than a century old and it has really only barely made it out of its language family. You can't do stand up for people that you don't share a spoken language with. It's very limiting, and it will be for a long time. Keeps stand ups chasing a very limited common denominator too.

    Possibly the only time I’ve ever been cool in my life:

    I was at a Jim Jeffries show with three buddies circa 2019. We were seated behind 4-5 obnoxious drunk guys who were probably in their 20s. They were just getting worse and worse as the show went on. People in front of them were asking them to keep it down, and they laughed it off.
    At one point during his set, Jim starts talking about how his mother had just died a few weeks prior, and he was reflecting on that. The drunks in front of us kept making noise and being disrespectful, which infuriated me. I looked at my friends and shoved the back of the seat of the drunk in front of me. He and his friends turned around and I said “You guys need to shut the f*ck up.”
    The guys looked at each other and fell silent. My friends looked at me like ‘Who the hell are you and what did you do with our friend?’
    The drunks left a few minutes later and didn’t return to their seats.
    I half expected them to be waiting for us after the show.
    My friends still reference the night sometimes.

    I used to think Jim was such an angry and out of touch dude. He just gave off the impression that he’d be offended if you didn’t give him special treatment. Then he had his show on Comedy Central and I saw interviews and realized he was nothing like I expected. He’s maybe as far from that as a celebrity type can be. Kinda refreshing

    Actually a massive liar and during his show here in the US tried to ruin many of his guests lives with bs editing to make some look like they were political extremists. Dude was exposed by Avi. Just so tired of comedy being used to push a political agenda and ideology. It's not even a good ideology or agenda it's total evil.

    The comparison in skill level reminded me of an experience I had with Tie Domi. He was a goon hockey player that always looked like an oaf on the ice. You would think he was only out there for his fists when you see how the other players skated around him. Well he showed up at a pond hockey game for some beer league I was watching. He floated around those guys like a dancer and made it look effortless to get around them with his stick handling. Domi may look like a goon compared to the most elite players but when compared to the rest of us, he's ridiculously skilled.

    He's our man in Amsterdam, our official rep in the US and comedy. Dinky Di, true blue. This was a wonderfully honest and insightful conversation.

    Hello, I've been a fan of JJ for over a decade, and I've been burning through these Blocks talks, Neal. I'm sure you'll both understand my appreciation since you've both done a lot of work with yourselves after bringing raised by an abusive parent.

    I was raised by a single mom with steep mental illness problems, she hoarded, she didn't clean, she was usually unemployed. A lot of psychological blame and control, a lot of expectations for me to somehow be the adult in the house, while hiding my transness because that wasn't allowed, while hiding my autism because that wasn't allowed… and I was still single digits years old.

    It was so good for me, deep in my heart, to hear JJ talk about shit his mother did, and how old he was. I've spent a lot of time just calmly getting all my historical info in order and aired out and it's no longer triggering, etc. Hardest work I've done. It feels so good to see people talk about it. Because it's stuff I can't typically share with anybody.

    Cheers and stay regulated 🩵✌️
