First time Jim didn't have the last word. Erin Brockovich rocks.
Actually, Jay Leno got the last word in that IDKAT podcast episode. Still, I do agree she is awesome!
Holy hell. Best guest ever, smart funny down to earth.
Phenomenal rack
On behalf of public and environmental health professionals, I give sincere thanks to you Ms. Erin 💯💯💯💯
I could quite possibly be the one guy watching in Turkey - shout out from Istanbul! Great stuff!
Be nicer to Armenia
@@atriyawadhwani5980 maybe they shouldn't occupy other countries..
Yo, I'm British, I'm just here for the Kebabs and Cats. Love to all.@@atriyawadhwani5980
So did you guys commit genocide on your neighbors the Armenians or not?? Let's hear it straight from the boots on the ground!!! All signs point to YES
A lot of people just cant stand an ople
It’s people like Erin that revives my faith in humanity I appreciate her we need more people like her and less people causing problems and slowing down the progression Erin is contributions to better our survival and future thank you Erin
I love these episodes where the expert can connect with Jim, because Jim lets them talk uninterrupted. Episode #11 Navy SEALs was one because the expert was Jim's friend. This one, Erin related things back to Australia as often as possible. It seems like knowing your audience has really paid off for some experts on this show.
lol not always.. depends on how drunk or high he is
as an Aussie i was very impressed with Erin's knowledge of Australia, from our geography to our water
Its almost as if it's *his* podcast 🤔 As much as people pretend that hospitality is key, go check your own home. Is your guest room as grand as your master bedroom? Smaller bed, no on suite bedroom, etc. You can put a candle in there all you want, but be honest; hospitality is fake, the host is the most, and they're lucky to be there.
@@jefflabbecomedy I'd agree with you if you weren't so incredibly sanctimonious about it.
She should be President. It will take a person like her to make real changes.
Better than the last one, he has two left feet and ugly shoes!
The American president is a powerless puppet, they follow orders. Learn that and work from there.
Erin Brockavich, your a legend...... love the passion and the language !!
Erin is a rockstar and f bomb legend
This is why I spent 10 grand on a water conditioning and purification system for my whole house. I'll never have to wonder again. Literally the cleanest most crisp water I've ever had in my life. So smooth too.
Although Jim will likely vehemently deny this, he once held me down and farted into my mouth. Needless to say I was completely stunned and at a loss for words. Pulling up his pants, he shot me a finger gun before saying see ya down the road fart-breath.
You're lucky he didn't charge you. Worst $12 I've ever spent.
You need to work out more Dave so a man can't do that to you
@@jamesenos1929 and you should hit the books dummy he’s clearly joking
i'd like to see this discussed in the next comment world section jack.
@@LouSpowells that's a weird way to spell best!
As a European, I'm always fascinated (or shocked) by the fact that some "developed" countries like the US don't use drinking water from the tap. I've never been to the US, so I'd like to know if it's really that bad. In all the countries I've been in Europe so far, I didn't think about that problem, I always drink water from the tap (in hotel rooms or other public places). It is even one of the most and best monitored "food" we have; many scientists even say it is safer than bottled water.
You used to be able to.... Today I wouldnt trust tap water anywhere in the country. Decades of incompetence and corruption got us broken
Outside of some very notable and awful exceptions like Flint, Michigan, the USA's tap water is very safe. A lot of concerns about it are driven by people who sell bottled water.
Well you said it yourself: developed countries.
We seem less and less like a developed country every day. Seriously, though, it's safe enough in most places, or so I'm told. I drank tap water growing up. My entire childhood was tap water and I'm mostly alright.
Now I have a filter (like many Americans) that I run the tap water through before drinking. I don't trust our federal or local government, but that's just a personal thing. The water might be just fine, but it might be flint.
The only toxin in our water is the dang fluoride put in there by the commies to pollute our precious bodily fluids.
I’m a licensed water distributor in Kentucky, USA and most tap water nationwide is as good, or better than bottled water. There are outliers like the notorious Flint, Michigan. There are premium water bottlers who claim to have a pristine product. Most bottled water here offers no health benefits comparably, and contain exponentially more micro-plastics.
Am I the only one who picked up the irony of brain eating amoebas in a place called Hannibal?
Who doesn’t love a little bit of Jim Jeffries, makes my day better every time. Good job Jim, jack, forest, Kelly and the Spanish fella, keep up the great work
Water is life.
Whoa. My mind is blown. You are deep! And healthy, to be sure.
So true
Living in Cape Town South Africa - listen to Erin, everything is great and you date water for granted, until there is suddenly none... living through a drought taught me take nothing for granted
I attempted to consult Ms. Brokovich on multiple occasions to seek advice on a major multinational corporation due to them putting huge amounts of pollutants into one of the major river systems in Canada and received no response. So I went through the usual b.s channels to report the infraction and the exact fear I'd expressed to her came to fruition. I even drew an extremely detailed map of where to test soil and water and was told by the authorities doing the testing that all samples came back clean. Clearly they took a bribe from the corporation because there was 10 to 12 inches of black foam on the waters surface which when windy outside would float back down from the air leaving an ashy/ oily coating on everything it touched. And I had witnessed absolute tonnage of pollutants improperly disposed of on the property. And upon doing my own rudimentary tests the contamination levels where nearly off the charts. Subsequently the corrupt environmental group also dropped my name to the corporation although they swore over and over again that I'd remain anonymous and then I was harassed until the point I was literally forced to resign and was told to resign or the harassment would continue until they found a reason to fire me from a career which paid one of the highest wages anywhere in the area. This has caused me to lose all faith in people and especially opened my eyes to just how unstoppable corporate greed and corruption truly is. My crime was giving a rats ass about the environment and it cost me quite dearly. Their crimes will be felt for generations and still to this day that same corporation continues to pollute in the same manner as always. It's truly disgusting that it cost me so goddamn much and yet they have had zero repercussions. Lesson learned.... doing the right thing just isn't worth it so you are on your own humanity. Enjoy the yummy pcb water.
With all due respect - it isn't her responsibility and job to fix every water issue for everyone - she gave you the details you needed, she isn't a magician
@@rebeccabroadway9874 she actually had no response despite multiple attempts to plea for any insight or information. It only costed me several hundred thousand dollars though and I learned a lesson that doing the right thing isn't always beneficial for anyone sometimes. I'm not placing blame on her at all. That is all on the giant corporate asshats that continue to toxify an area which houses a great portion of the worlds freshwater supply and is actually located extremely close to the watershed. I just want people to know that reporting environmental infractions which massive corporations commit can be extremely detrimental unless you can receive help from organizations which will not accept bribes like the government does.
Drop the name of this town you're referring to. Leaving them anonymous if they've done something so horrible isn't helping. They need called out every chance you get
Erin is such an exciting and beautiful guest, great show!
In the U.K everyone calls it a wheelie bin
That was very good. I enjoyed Erin Brockovich
Yeah she was pretty cool. Definitely mid western personality.
Overchlorination is a big problem The toxic byproducts then have to be removed at great cost. Our ground and surface waters are quite clean in areas of Maine, but we now have to chlorinate the water, which makes it toxic, which then has to be cleaned up. So water went from $8 per unit and it now is $45 per unit (not exactly, but you get the drift).
As for arsenic in the water, it is the dose that makes the poison, so the amount does matter (even for carcinogenic chemicals). There is no such thing in our lives as no risk. Also some chemicals are readily absorbed dermally, arsenic is one, but others are not. Some chemicals become aerosolized in our bathrooms when we take showers (e.g., chloroform and other chlorinated byproducts).
I think we need to revise our infrastructure nationwide - need the political will though. We could have plenty of jobs in the U.S. for people who didn't go to college if we worked on infrastructure and trained people in vocational colleges for these real world jobs.
OMG the Aussies and South Africans have so much in common, we put the wheelie bins under the gutters too, now we have fancy big rain tanks WITH TAPS nogal !!! - to collect every drop - but still open all the wheelie bin lids when it rains to collect.
Julia Roberts was a great portrayal of her. Voice and all. Really respect Erin!
I'm inviting Erin Brockovich to my next party...whenever the f*** that is.
Great guest. Hope she comes back to say I Told You So
I love Erin Brockovich! One of my heroes
Erin’s got good F-word game.
Love this podcast
I don't understand why they bother grading if Forest just does whatever he wants to the score anyways
😂😂
The Whose Line Anyway Is It Anyway method. Deal with it sucka!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant episode
Make her a regular haha, she mixed in well with Jim!!
Excellent guest.
Lead is in most electronics, in the solder.
Hold on you cant drink solder?!
No - not in modern electronics. EU banned lead solder in 2006 and manufacturers figured out it would be too cumbersome to have two variants for different markets (EU / non-EU). So they went lead free. Rest of the world should in fact thank EU for having safer electronics.
huntron.com/news/comparing-lead-vs-lead-free-solder/
Hell the 3 percent lead in 97 3 solder for your cooper water lines
Just heard Jims Dads wheelie bin with the tap idea!! Bloody brilliant!!
Vet Tech student here! Lead is very important for use in protecting medical professionals from radiation when taking x-rays of patients. We have lead aprons, lead gloves, lead thyroid shields, lead walls around the x-ray room... so, yes, lead is still very useful!
Jim is a legend of true comedy.
Forrest needs to work on his confidence when asking the expert a question, he starts out strong but then he just sort of trails off mumbling. I say this with love.
He's funny and comes across with warm energy and a big heart but I agree with you that his delivery needs work. His tone sounds like he's either sad or angry imo. I fixed this on myself by speaking through a smile 😃 .
This has become my favorite thing.
Just when i was gonna head to bed. Awesome 👌
Believe it or not those wheelie bin taps as you call them would be illegal in parts of America because you cant legally collect rainwater. Crazy.
Just to support your comment, it's true here in Washington state. Widely uninforced if you're not obvious about it but rain barrels ARE illegal here.
Not that crazy, really. If every knucklehead wanted to collect it to water their stupid lawns, the ecosystem would be fucked.
@@murcuryvapor yes and no. We've already fucked our selves by putting tarmac over everything. Watering the lawn with it wouldn't make that much of a difference.
Waaaaaahhhh?
So my lawn can't catch rain water in some places.
Could this be more if a ban on diverting runoff?
I live in Waterloo iowa. have one of the largest underwater rivers. It was contaminated by the railroad system. They leaked a million gallons of diesel fuel sitting on top of it. But they put in wells and pumps to vacuum up the diesel fuel. It just sets on top. Not to bad. lol
That PFOS or whatever that firefighting foam is was spilled at the airfield 1/4 mile from my old house a while back. It remained a secret until about 2 years ago levels started to rise significantly. Of course the city well my house was connected too was contaminated to worst, but it had spread to several other wells around the city. They say the levels are still safe but continuing to rise...
Well, stillborn shark has been stuck in my head all morning!
Everything is chemicals. The dose makes the poison. That said, water issues are very important and we should be very aware of how water resources are managed and distributed. Cutting costs is a very dangerous game to play, especially with the climate change crisis.
Yeah, climate usually make water bad.
I live in New Zealand we get rain water from our roof into a tank slightly filtered tastes awesome
Best guest so far! I would have a beer with Erin!
I love that Kelly called out Tommy. Cut the shit, Tommy!
Love this women
Can we see a Dickie Knee (Hey Hey) character come up every time Jack Talks?
In Sydney, Australia, we literally have coal mines right underneath our major water supply.
There are long wall mines underneath the catchment area that feeds into Warragamba Dam. There is already scientific studies that have shown we are losing about 20 million litres of water per year into the cracks caused by these mines.
They are currently trying to expand the mines further and there is no way to remediate the damage they have already caused.
I had no idea Erin was so beautiful.
Aaah Waterboy is one of my favorite movies...
She's a great guest. So happy to have found this show. Was a bit put off by the stillborn stuff being a young mom but overall fun stuff.
As a wastewater operator, a lot of this makes me depressed.
Missed opportunity not having Incorporated on that Diploma. Having a degree from DUI sounds right up Jim's alley!
This would make for a great game! I dont know about that, app game
I really like that lady
They must have worded the hint in a weird way or something cause I guessed that at the same time. It's weird cause I only saw that movie once like 20yrs ago and know nothing of Erin but that was what popped in my head so clearly with no hesitation.
@facciabella85 but I didn't know she did that. I had no idea what she was. I just knew there was a movie about her which I understand now was ignorance but that's why it's weird so I Don't Know About That
57:20 california might not be in this situation if it had built desalination plants waaaaay back in the 70's.
Jim, Australia has one of the world's largest aquifers
50:50 politics isnt that difficult when you remove the profit motive.
Mack Weldon sounds like a bigger scam then multi level marketing companies
😂
watching from Macau 😀
...English is a foreign language to me, so I had to look up several terms in between - vut it was worth it. 😄❤️
Brita is gonna make a killing on this podcast
Erin is a awesome fucking person
59:30 and weird, most municipalities have made collecting rain water illegal 🤔
Jim giving Brian Henderson vibes with the glasses (only Sydney people will get that reference)...that’s the way it is, goodnight Australia
I’m a licensed water distributor from Kentucky. Don’t judge me as I’ll soon be moving to Denver. Jesus pH Christ this’ll be bloody good.
Iron pipes naturally form a coating from the minerals in the water. This works if the water is somewhat alkaline. The Flint River was more acidic and corroded that coating . That was the horrible color. The acid also leached lead from the coating and pipes into the water. (I used to work as a water chemist. ;) ]
We South Africans also call them wheelie bins. Some of us in Cape Town also collect gutter water in them. Antipodeans.
Ay Jim when is the one guy listening from Pakistan gon get his shoutout? Asking for a friend.
You know Jim is dislexic right?
When he gives you a shout-out he's going to call you Anus Milk for sure...
@@olibrooke-bailey333 in that case perhaps I’ve already had a shoutout from Jim.
@@4000anas Wasn't making fun of your name. Just taking the piss out of Jim.
Watching this again because eria is so damn gorgeous
I'm getting a "TUSHY" !!!!!!!!!!!!
My take: DOJ will exert max pressure on trump, he will fly off with some docs to a country that won't extradite him and we will avoid any possible negative results from a trial. One can hope.
water is a world issue also so hard place and a rock
Fresh guy with the glasses
I was just thinking imagine her at a dinner party then she said it herself!
Lead sinkers for fishing are illegal in Vermont where I live, at least one point for us for that!
I would "NOT" want to piss Erin off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that's just me !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope more people care about water and life and shit~^^
exactly 😉
Fantastic show! I love it when you can hear an expert for an HOUR who is so passionate about their subject. America's problem is it's the middle classes who campaign the most effectively and they're in decline.
Loved the return of the mack reference 🤙
Was good stuff. One of the few pods that make the ads entertaining.
Laughs in Finnish.
Chuckles in Norwegian.
46:32 I wonder how many viewers knew what a franger is?! lol
wow she is so cool, EB
Erin is tidy, Roberts didn’t do her justice
Growing up in Sydney u would think that Jim would know where falafel is made?? Considering there is a big Lebanese community/.middle eastern community??. Or was it sarcasm?? Good stuff group, love your show
Melbourne aust .
Anna Gunn would have been an interesting choice to play her back in 2000.
I'm Brazilian but as Erin said this problem is worldwide. And it's so appalling that absolutely nobody give a darn about it. Because it's not a sexy topic. Better stick to LGBT and BLM to get more clicks. BTW that movie dark waters gave me the shivers because there's a big Du Pont plant nearby where I grew up in Sao Paulo. And using t fal fry pans since forever.
Use ozone to purify the water - not bloody chlorination
we have flouridated water in parts of britain
Jim - Your new eyeglasses are fine. If they're slipping down your nose, try WEDGEES. I've been using 'em for years. They're inexpensive & they work! I have no connection to the company. I'm just a satisfied customer. Check 'em out.
Been cleaning my ass with water for 30 years now and have a hose device with sprayer for $10. Works great and never have asshole problems except for those that think I am. Why spend $80.
I think the world should make the fresh water drinkable. But we never have that again.
Good guess Jim!
The way that person rubbed lube on both of their open palms was really disturbing
All the water is in bottles stored in warehouses ready for sale
Think about all that water out of the evaporation cycle😀
so tired of this podcast. I listen to it when I work out, but I laugh so hard I can't finish my sets. gonna stay fat and unfuckable for ever. thanks a lot Jim
You look a little bored Jim 🤪 And I love her but so am I
