Best WW2 story ever: I grew up hearing my grandfather fought in the pacific in WW2 and was shot down in a plane by the Japanese, spent 6 weeks in a coma, came out, was sent home and discharged. Well, turns out he actually got drunk with some buddies, STOLE a plane, crashed it and put himself in a coma for 6 weeks. Grew up my entire life thinking my grandpa was a war hero. Turns out, he was just a stupid 19 year old drunk who pounded too much whiskey and stole a fucking plane. I personally prefer the real story to the fabrication.
America took two years before they got involved and wouldn't help Australia when getting invaded by Japan and Hitler killing jews but Japan bomb pearl harbour before they decided to be involved and now you all by Japanese products so who do you really think won? Americas war history is all lies
After WW2 was call of duty was played on gforce graphics card when duo und bak den quad was kinda gimmick cuz other parts werent yet updated to cater quad easily........ i use excessif emojisss in my thesis like comments merely to give eyes bit of break cuz 20/20 suddenly blind bat dbl visions🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i ask which of u be trolling here ..i smell a fella troll😁😁
@@gingercat777 I am guessing you are talking about a bullshit covid death toll with that 770,000 dead Americans "statistic". You do know that Trump is the one that cleared the red tape to get the vaccines produced? On top of that he didn't do a mandate that is entirely against the constitution. The few times there have been vaccine mandates you could opt out for money and that opt out fee was ruled unlawful. So thank Trump for your vaccine. If that isn't some idiotic covid statistic enlighten me. Freedom over safety every day of the week.
Yeah, he's been deleting comments, just as he's been blocking people who question him about it on Twitter. It's bad enough being dishonest, but he needs to add cowardice to the mix too.
The last battle of WWII was Operation Obe, the Australian invasion of Borneo. Which was also the last major amphibious assault of WWII. Come Jim, stick up for the Aussies.
I'm have a lowly B.A. in History. I have to admit being surprised at what our learned friend doesn't know considering his education. He should at least have acknowledged that he was fuzzy on some details (which he does later), no shame in that. A few glaring ones: 1. There were 5 landing beaches on D-Day. 2. The Australians landed troops on D-Day. He seems pretty solid on the American stuff as you would expect, maybe to the exclusion of other countries' participation. A common criticism of Americans' recounting history. While MacArthur took centre stage for the signing of the Peace on the USS Missouri, there were representatives from UK, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and The Netherlands. Only fair, since they had been fighting the war with Japan for more than two years before ole' Doug showed up. The discussion about "The Great Escape" is enlightening. There were no Americans in "The Great Escape" in reality. It was an accommodation in the movie because Hollywood knew Americans wouldn't watch it otherwise. The real people who were involved in the production were okay with it, because they wanted the story told. The guy who was depicted by Charles Bronson - "The Tunnel King" - was actually a guy from Toronto: Wally Floody. Still, I'm thrilled "people of a certain age" are taking an interest in and talking about this stuff. Atta go Jim!
Bit of info from The Netherlands: The Dutch were run over in 3 days. This wasnt because we welcomed the Nazi's, but we tried to pull off a "we are neutral" (feel free to do the accent). The Dutch army was poorly equiped with WWl weapons and the finishing blow was a brutal bombardement on the port city of Rotterdam. Still there are German Tourists in Rotterdam asking where the 'Altstadt' or historical city is. The average Rotterdam dockworker does not respond well to this question ;)
Jim is the ultimate C student Wow I commented this before the exam story. I was strictly referring to the 6s and 7s he gets every time but that story has proven me right
@@fandyu69 .. Well Stalin himself said WW2 that they could not have won the war without the millions of tons of Military vehicles, food, ammo etc etc provided by the US and I'm pretty sure that US D-Day landing and liberating from the West helped quite a bit, and those couple of big bombs on Japan forcing them to immediately surrender unconditionally helped.... So I can make a pretty good argument that we did ... PS Your Welcome!!
Fun Fact: During World War II, future actor Christopher Lee hunted Nazis while part of England's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. After WWII ended, Lee continued hunting Nazis in Europe to either execute them or haul their sorry asses back to justice.
Joke's on him I was just about to buy a ticket to go to his show. He made that comment and I realized I didn't have a date so I canceled... I guess the joke is still on on me.
Hello guys! A few years ago, I was in a bad car wreck, got disabled and suffered from horrible depression. Then I watched Jim’s Freedumb special on Netflix and been following him ever since! Watching your comedy specials and show has really helped me get through massive depression. So, thank you Jim for helping me in my life. My wife, Holly, and I watch your podcast on RUclips every week. We love each and every one of you guys and wish you all the best. It’s actually our anniversary this weekend, so if you could tell my wife “Happy Anniversary” for marrying this big dumb idiot, that would mean so much. Thank you for your time.
In my small town, Narvik, Hitler had his first defeat of WW2. Our harbour is the only all year round ice free harbour in the North that can transport iron ore from Sweden, so it was extremely important. The battle went on for months after Norway had surrendered. Aided by English, French and Polish soldiers there was heavy fighting here. The nazis took it back in the end though, but their fleet paid a heavy prize. Our fjords are littered with warships.
@@supernovaleftover1812 That we did. But it is not all so black and white. We could have easily been on the other side. The British had plans to invade Norway because of my town and its ability to transport loads of iron ore to the war effort. If the Germans hadn't taken action first, history would look a lot different here.
I met Kerry King in an hotel bar one afternoon and offered to buy him a drink. We ended up drinking tea and talking about how hard it is to get your kids into good schools! 😂 A totally normal, lovely lovely guy
The part saying there were 4 beach landing's on D-day got me!! There were actually 5. 2 American, 2 British, and 1 Canadian. Utah, Omaha, Gold, Sword, and Juno!!
Other podcast I will end up closing down before the end just because they get a bit rambally at the end. Jim and the crew does a good job at keeping it interesting all the way to the end.
And the Canucks made it the farthest and completed more of their objectives than anyone else on day one, despite Juno beach being one of the deadliest beaches to take.
I was at the Eddie Izzard show in Paris, everyone who said anything to anyone on the way out, spoke English. There are enough Anglo's in Paris for 2 shows, BOOK THEM, THEY WILL COME...
I always found it mildly confusing when english speakers referred to “Das Dritte Reich” as “The Third Reich”, why translate only 2 of the 3 words? It’s meaning is “The Third Empire” and as far as I have learned it referred to the previous big mainland Europe empires: The Roman Empire and The Holy Roman Empire. (The latter of which had nothing to do with Rome or Romans and if I remember correctly was mostly germanic) Also another fun thing about not translating things, english speakers saying “The Führer”, which basically just means “leader”. They still have some führers, but these days it’s mostly chill guys like a “Bergführer” (Mountain Leader) which is a mountain guide. Also had a chuckle while typing this when I translated “Panzerfaust” for no reason at all and thought to myself that “Tank Fist” would be a hilarious title for a Porn where girthy lesbians punch each other in certain parts of their anatomy. But that might’ve only been funny to me because I’ve watched too many Jim Jefferies specials on repeat…
I effing love Jim Jeffries loved to go to your shows when you lived in England every time my guts hurt for laughing so bloody much went to 4 shows just Brilliany funniest Aussie comedian ever.
Jim, there's a great biography on Teddy Roosevelt, and he actually encountered and killed 2 grizzly bears. Not a softy when it came to bears 😂 I interpreted that after the loss of first wife, he went into the Badlands to hunt, and seemed to have a serious death wish. But yeah, he was a prolific animal killer/hunter. Great book, would recommend it!!
The Mighty Mo is moored in Pearl Harbor and you can go walk around on it. The USS Arizona Memorial is there as well, you have to take a ferry out into the harbor to get to it. The memorial spans the sunken ship and oil is still leaking out of it.
Oh man the Hungary show was bonkers! All the posters were gone and I asked a dude on the tram - who was on a date - if he could give it to me. For good points in the eyes of the girl he gave it to me but man he had a vicious look towards me
I'm so happy this podcast exists, I'm so tired of comedians just sitting together going 'Hurrdurrr our special comedy brains work different, normal jobs and people are so cringe'
I recently watched on a site the death counts during WWII by year, moving and changing over the years. I knew Russia had the most losses with over 24 million but China came in 2nd with huge losses too of about 20 million. China actually had the top losses for quite some time, until Russia's count eventually surpassed it. Germany came in 3rd with almost 9 million and Poland 4th with about 5.6 million. The Dutch East Indies had a surprisingly high number and India had about 2.5 million. Japan had about 3 million. Then you add up all the other countries involved, it is a shockingly high number.
I don't think the battle of Okinawa was the last battle in the war, it was the last American battle in the the war. It took place in June 1945. The Russians didn't invade Manchuria until August 1945. There were about 2 million troops involved and a number of battles, so the last battle of the war would have been fought between Russians and Japanese in Manchuria or Korea, with the fighting lasting up until the end of the war on 2nd of September 1945.
English speaking French people like me just think you're the best! But yeah, realistically, you wouldn't fill an arena because unlike in Germany or other European countries, most French people either don't understand English well enough or wouldn't grasp your (lovely) accent. It's not just about us, though, I bet you'd have the same issue with Spain or Italy.
@@sativarosegold3604 It's not about basic academic understanding, I'm sure you realize there's a big difference between what were taught at school and the knowledge you need to understand a podcast with someone speaking in anything else than the standard English accent. Jim is not hard to understand, but he's not what basic learners are used to
Any bet a Channel 7 producer saw that John Cleese, legend though he is, never misses an opportunity to drop some pro-Brexit rant in to any appearance he makes. Old mate manages to drop that shit in the middle of birthday messages on Cameo. It would be amazing if the French Chef interrupts AGT broadcasts to do the same.
Talk about when surprises happen, How could a multi-storey building that was damaged in one of four integral supports fall in a completely vertical fashion
I watched a documentary about Normandy and they said what happened on Saving Private Ryan with the bullets was true because the Germans were using guns with less firepower than what was used to test the theory on Myth Busters. And because the rounds were fired slower, they didn't shatter on impact with the water and were able to penetrate further into the water.
Hey guys, loved the show! The city hall in my hometown of Norwich was never bombed during the blitz in WW2 because Hitler heiled it's Germanic architecture. Will you be doing any shows in the UK before you retire?
What are the lyrics to the judging a book by its cover song? My boyfriend and his friend think it’s yesdo and I say it’s yes no. This argument has been going on too long. Thanks love you jack
Clearly it's yes no. Not only from the very clear and repeated enunciation, but also from the context and grammar. This is not a remotely close-run thing. Sorry to hear that you need to dump your boyfriend, but there are plenty more fish in the sea (or, as your boyfriend would say, "There are plainly more automobiles in the forget").
Four Lions is a movie tangentially related to the war in Afghanistan. It's about four bumbling British jihadists who try to join the Taliban. It's actually brilliant even though it sounds like it could be a disaster.
The Dutch where clapping ? Are you insane ? They bombed the shit out off is cuz the allies where still eating hotdogs in Belgium instead off helping out the Dutch. They fought for 5 days in a country that is 150 km long.. hundreds of people including my family died during the bombing off the Rotterdam port so , no , we were not clapping for the Germans .
Now I’m gonna be an angry dutchman for saying this but look up “Kazematten”. We surrendered when Rotterdam was bombed, but before that there was quite a lot of pushback against the Germans.

The Dutch East Indies had a surprisingly high number and India had about 2.5 million. Japan had about 3 million. Then you add up all the other countries involved, it is a shockingly high number.
I don't think the battle of Okinawa was the last battle in the war, it was the last American battle in the the war. It took place in June 1945. The Russians didn't invade Manchuria until August 1945. There were about 2 million troops involved and a number of battles, so the last battle of the war would have been fought between Russians and Japanese in Manchuria or Korea, with the fighting lasting up until the end of the war on 2nd of September 1945.

Hey guys, loved the show! The city hall in my hometown of Norwich was never bombed during the blitz in WW2 because Hitler heiled it's Germanic architecture. Will you be doing any shows in the UK before you retire?
Cool story. My hometown in New Jersey was overrun by Hessians and pillaged by King George's Redcoats.
I literally was that backpacker at a show in South Korea back in 2019!
For Afghanistan comedies check out Bluestone 42 a British comedy its great! Got Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter in it!
Was Castle Itter not the last battle?
Their was 5 beach landings at Normandy, sword gold Juno Omaha Utah. 2 American beaches 2 British and 1 Canadian.
What are the lyrics to the judging a book by its cover song? My boyfriend and his friend think it’s yesdo and I say it’s yes no. This argument has been going on too long. Thanks love you jack
Clearly it's yes no. Not only from the very clear and repeated enunciation, but also from the context and grammar. This is not a remotely close-run thing. Sorry to hear that you need to dump your boyfriend, but there are plenty more fish in the sea (or, as your boyfriend would say, "There are plainly more automobiles in the forget").
I thought the first reich was Rome, the second was Charlemagne...
Holy Roman Empire is very different to the Rome
See you next Tuesday, Jimmy
Love, from a former fan
Who lost the most lives? I'm screaming RUSSIA by like soooooooo much
U were in Slovenia... damn i missed it fuck
A couple of the Doolittle raiders were killed, a whole lot of Chinese were killed for helping them
Four Lions is a movie tangentially related to the war in Afghanistan. It's about four bumbling British jihadists who try to join the Taliban. It's actually brilliant even though it sounds like it could be a disaster.
Come to Canberra

Uboats were found abandoned around the world after ww2 1 was in the Delaware River near Philadelphia
Bert Chrysler! Ha classic !
You have to come and do a show in Paris
Omaha, Utah, sword, gold and Juno

There were 5 beaches on d-day
The Dutch where clapping ? Are you insane ? They bombed the shit out off is cuz the allies where still eating hotdogs in Belgium instead off helping out the Dutch. They fought for 5 days in a country that is 150 km long.. hundreds of people including my family died during the bombing off the Rotterdam port so , no , we were not clapping for the Germans .
is this guy high? his facts are all over the place
Now I’m gonna be an angry dutchman for saying this but look up “Kazematten”. We surrendered when Rotterdam was bombed, but before that there was quite a lot of pushback against the Germans.
