BONUS - INTERNET SALAD!
This week, James and Jimmie make up an internet salad for you! It's anything that comes up on the internet... except for politics. We all hear enough of that crap.

As someone who grew up in a christian household who is now an agnostic I can confidently say I have the same reaction to this “we’re under attack” mentality of american christians. I briefly did some over-the-road work as a flatbed trucker and there were SO MANY billboards across the northeast—no not the south or the midwest but THE NORTHEAST, that professed extremely evangelical christian messages. Were there Muslim billboards? Jewish billboards? Hindu billboards? Abso-fucking-lutely not. The fact that Christians in this country are choosing to see themselves as marginalized because other ideas and beliefs are being allowed in our culture is fucking cowardly and embarrassing. It makes it very hard for me to accept Christians at all, even though many people of faith are close friends and family to me. As James would say—YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL—GROW THE FUCK UP.
God I wanted to be a part of this conversation…it would have been cathartic. There’s a Kevin Hart special where he’s telling a joke then he pauses and does a fake laugh and says “please don’t make me laugh, hahaha” and the dumb crowd eats it up thinking it must be funny because he’s laughing. It is so obviously fake and it made me irate. I’ll give him this - he has a very disciplined work ethic. Also David Cross’ letter was so precise in the bombs it launched.
I don't know and I want to find out
I stand by my opinion that the best ever celebrity roast is the one of Peter Griffin on Family Guy.
You can find Jimmies stand up on YouTube, it’s TERRIBLE. Can’t find any of James’ but if he was any good, you would be able too lol. They are the saltiest ‘comics’ who think they’re experts on comedy, everyone’s a hack except Chris rock and eddie Murphy according to James, it’s a terrible look. Great murder podcaster, terrible negative comedy commentator
Anytime the 3 ninjas gets mentioned it makes laugh because it’s only happened like twice and the names of the kids was my Twitter handle when I was briefly on there and it’s my PlayStation name as well.
Here for the Tony hate ❤️🔥
Love that Jimmy also loves one of my absolute favorite comedians...I love Chad Daniels!!
Idk I'm pretty religious and I believe in the possibility and probability of aliens and even intelligent life in space
Omg. I work with 2 flat earthers, and one thinks that pigeons are robots, because he's never seen baby ones.... 🤦🏽♀️fuckin morons
What's the name of that book 😆
Not my favorite episode but love you guys
I enjoyed Larry the Cable Guy for a while when I was on a lot of drugs. And even on drugs, it got old. Jim Barney WAS created by a marketing company. The character was created to sell shit, but then it sold. Much like Urkel. He was supposed to appear in 2 episodes but America ate it up.
My favorite thing is when you guys make fun of redneck country shit. I live so far back in the country it would make your head spin. But I LOATHE the country music and the redneck shit. Blithering simpletons. But I also can't stand the liberal lies and bullshit they try and pass over, and people buy into it. So idk what I am. But I really love bulldogs and mushrooms. But please never stop making fun of the rednex. They deserve it and I'm here for it
Working CMA Fest the last two weeks through the 11th. I don't feel bad taking these jackass's money.
Loved this bonus and I need more James talking ufos
Beards are not stupid, Jimmie!!!!
What terrible bonus show
Don't sleep on Fazolis lol it's decent 🤣
Love you guys, BUT it’s CRAZY to say “no, it’s just hacky. That’s why we don’t like it”. No. They will tell you they’re offended by your jokes. While simultaneously having no problem offending others with their jokes. The problem with PC culture today is they’re not even consistent with “offense”. They just want you to be ONLY offensive to the people THEY do not like. My personal opinion. Nothing is off limits. It’s okay to be offended. That comedian just isn’t for you. Punch in every direction. We don’t need to be patronizing with our comedy. Love you both, I just think you missed it here, on the reasoning of why “pc comics” are offended. And honestly, why most aren’t even funny!
Hilarious that Jimmie was talking about fazolis opening new locations, cuz our local fazolis that has been around for 25 years has closed lol
I just saw aDoug Stanhope here in San Diego on the 28th. He doesn’t drink anymore or he’s taking a break but it definitely wasn’t the Stanhope of yore maybe it was an off night and I hate to think that can hope can only be funny without alcohol, but we will see
Was Kevin Hartton Chelsea Lately to start? I thought she kinda eluded to that on the Roast? I can't remember either, I couldn't watch her much
Ironic making fun of the cable guy selling merchandise while u guys are selling shower curtains...
I’m so relieved to know that I’m not alone in thinking Kevin Hart is not and never has been all that funny. And he’s still funnier than Larry the Cable Guy.
I think yall are forgetting that internet salad is just Jimmy and James TALKING. They aren’t structuring it because it’s supposed to be easy going. Don’t listen to it. You could’ve stopped the episode at any point in time…
The rib was im gonna get you sucka!
That's the first time I've laughed at the "I don't care any and are that's funny" "bit'. 🔥
First time I visited the states, 2002, my now wife took me to the Route 66 music festival in Joplin Missouri. Lynyrd Skynyrd headlined so you get the vibe. The opening act, in the coveted 2pm slot was none other than Larry the Cable guy. The couple of dozen people there were aggressively ignoring him. How times change
I have never been a Larry the Cabel fan, my parents loved him so I saw everything. I did see him and his wife at a restaurant when I was in high-school. I very politely said. "Hey my parents are big fans, and walked back to my table to eat. He came by after they had finished eating and thanked me for being a fan and not making a big deal of seeing him in public. We took a picture so I could send it to my parents. It was a very cool interaction.
I love it when you two call out bad comics. Your insights are so juicy and spot on. That letter was hilarious - funny asides et al
😭😭😭😭😭😭 he is such a clown hahaha
I am from Sumter county, ga which is where jimmy Carter is from. It’s a shitty small town that I really hope makes the show one day! But I just wanted to comment to say that the Carters were genuinely nice people that over the years gave so much to our county. He paid for the college tuition for the children of all his staff. He built several homes for homes for habitat. His wife Roselyn gave a lot to our local college and is the reason we have one of the best nursing programs in the state. The list goes on. Our entire community mourned when they passed. Love the show guys!
Please please please do the nightmare upstairs!
The Distinguished Gentleman was the Eddie Murphy movie where he became a Representative.
I’m so glad you guys find Kevin Hart unfunny and uninteresting as I do. And I’m just waiting for his “buddy” T.H. to be found in Red Roof Inn with a few underage male prostitutes—that’s when I’ll care he exists! 🤣🤣
Kevin Heart is a hack and his self roast is embarrassing. Larry the cable guy horrendous unfunny hack agreed. David cross in the past including that letter fucking gut busting hilarious but he is now a sell out and doing exactly what he accused Dan Whitney of doing just to a different audience. Tony Is a totally snide asshole and yes his fame comes from hosting his show but he is a solid comedian I’ve been to many of his sets. You two are incredibly funny and I never miss a show. I like Shane Gillis but I also like Chad Daniels and Dan Cummins. You can like different comedians that have different styles and view points not all the ones you don’t like are “hacks” maybe it’s just not your cup of tea.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE when James pulls back from the mic & yells about something. Idk why but it kills me dead💀
I grew up on SNL and Dana Carvey doing ANY president is hilarious! They should be able to laugh at themselves and most of them have........
Katt Williams really does hate him and called him out on everything 🤣
First off, I absofuckinglutely LOVE YOU GUYS, and have been a listener/Patreon member for over 10 years. When I used to sell plasma, (yeah, I was that poor) I always told my attendant that if I laughed so hard I fell off the bed to please pick me back up. No clue if you guys read these, but I have to know why you guys think Toby Keith is a cunt. Never heard him called that before lol I like some of his songs, not tons of them, but I'm REALLY hoping to get my answer!!! Nancy
Loved the David Cross letter, nice nostoliga detour and so funny, but also an interesting analogy for today. I love the comedian inside baseball. I believe in aliens, but have a reverse take. I think it's egotistical to think they've been here. What makes us so special that they'd want to...send orbs to our house or probe our butts? I just don't buy any of it, but I am in a family full of "they've been here" believers. So maybe that's my subconscious rebellion. Perhaps I need to look at some of these reports a bit deeper. I wonder if Patreon creators can boot subscribers... A few folks bringing some bad vibes into the comment thread...episode wasn't for you? Welp. Turn it off or unsubscribe. No one is forcing you to listen. At least there's a block button.
SSSSTTTOOOPPPPUUUHHHH!! I almost got in a car accident for real! I haven’t laughed this hard - to where my stomach hurts - in I don’t know how long. Jimmie - you kill me. Your laugh is contagious. James - you’re so quick & witty - whip smart. Thank you both for making me laugh even when I think I don’t want to.
I really hope at the beginning you are talking about Tony Hinchcliffe. He is cringey and not funny at all. He got lucky by making money off of other people jokes because of hosting shit.
What a difference. 20 years makes.... David Cross would never write that letter today because he is full PC. He has swallowed the progressive movement like ilhan Omar swallows her brother's cock
Yikes.
Only show you guys made that i didn’t like. Felt political around the midpoint.
I love these episodes, especially when I get to hear a James rant! I think Jimmy Carter actually saw a ufo in 1969. He was a great man.
These are the best. Next time can you guys just go for like 3 hours? I promise you, this is what we all want.
I’m glad someone loathes Larry the cable guy as much as I do
I just want to say thank you for normalizing the anger I feel about the constant Christian religion that’s being shoved down our throats. I moved from Canada to southern US and I’m so over being scolded over raising my kids without religion. My middle is on the spectrum and I personally believe teaching ANY religion as the universal truth is abusive as hell. My middle takes everything so literally and if I were to tell him ____ is true it would be so hard for him later to reconstruct his beliefs. Anyways not sure if you will ever see my comment but I really appreciate you two.
I'm in the UK, and I've always found it baffling how a country that makes such a big deal about the separation of church and state also has so much aggressive, performative, in-your-face Christianity apparently dominating politics and public life.
I have always been curious on the guys take on Tony Hinchcliffe. I assumed they didn’t approve and I guess I was right lol
Is it me or was the world better BEFORE social media????
Can we get a redo on internet salad? I love James and Jimmie but sometimes they will get hung up on a particular topic or article and spend the majority of the episode on it. The David Cross open letter is funny, but it didn't deserve almost an entire hour of the episode.
The open letter reminded me of the letters Hunter S Thompson wrote. Layers upon layers of wit, references to personal experiences, and inside jokes. I need to dig the book out for a reread.
Speaking of hacks, what about Bobcat Whatshisname?
Just wondering why I haven’t heard my name on your whole shout out thing yet
👍🫴👎
Down to earth. That the Chris Rock movie you guys were trying to reference.
This was incredible! The letter had me in tears!!! 😂
Love David Cross! That open letter to Dan Whitney was fucking fantastic! 👌🏼 growing up I couldn’t stand Larry the cable guy. Dude was a fucking hack, but my whole family loved him Also what’s Fazzolis? I’m not from the US 😅😂
It's basically fast food Italian. You're not missing out, don't worry!
Interesting that this was labeled as “No politics”. I love James and Jimmie, and have been a subscriber for over 5 years. I’ve known for years that our politics don’t necessarily align, and it’s been fine. This “non-political” episode of Internet salad is embarrassing, or at least, it should be.
I think a 36% approval rating is much more embarrassing.
I'm gonna get you sucker is where he asked for the rib.
I went to the movies to see Head of state, and I promise you, I asked for my money back
Talk the same shit about Ron White boys!!
Damn boys, I hear a shit ton of envy. I am a big fan of you two, but I sense hater in your blood
This is so funny! I love hearing Jimmie gasp for air because he’s laughing so hard!
pro wrestling is just hypermasculine drag.
One of the best episodes of SNL is when Eddie Murphy hosted in 2019. Season 45 episode 10. I watch it every Christmas. Kiddle Diddles #SantaKnew
I love to hear Jimmie and James speaking the truth. Very entertaining podcast.
So, what you're saying here is that Dan is not a comic's comic?
I bloody love Internet salad, thank you guys ....never fucking stop 🤣😘💝
I hadn’t thought about the expression “get er done” for about 15 yrs. Now, for some reason, I can’t stop saying it
My mom said my grandma used to say Jimmy Carter was just too good a person to be president!
I must be crazy outta touch after reading the other comments, but 50 mins on one topic wasn't really what I was hoping for here. More of an Internet Trifle IMO
goodbye !
Enlightening episode.
‘Whatever is in there has a heartbeat.’ 💀💀💀 I’M CRYING
Loved the roast of don or dan or whatever that con man's name was!
Who was the comedian they were talking about who everyone hates and who is more of a host than a comedian?
Tony Hinchcliffe I’m pretty sure. He hosts Kill Tony, a very popular podcast where guests sign up and they draw names out of a bucket and have that person do a 60 minute stand up set on stage and then he and his co hosts roast the shit out of them
This is great
Jimmy saying, “Galileo existed before religion”, was one of the goddamn funniest things I’ve ever heard in my life, because he was being so earnest 🤣
Internet salad, it could easily be called our stupid opinions
I hate the cable guy, the best was Greg Geraldo roasting him, “WHY ARE YOU SO POPULAR!!!! In my opinion Greg was the best roaster. R.I.P. GG.
That David Cross letter and your commentary had me laughing loudly. 🤣
This bonus episode is worth the pay wall of Patreon by itself. Thanks for reminding me that the truth these days can be funny. I love you both.
I’m actually having to pause myself with the David Cross letter 😭😭😭
Love Cross. Thoroughly enjoyed the detour. Made my day. I could listen to you guys talk about comics you love and ones you hate for hours.
There’s been precisely one other person that could maybe rival Eddie in scope of talent and that’s Jamie Foxx 💯
Larry the Cable Guy wasn't & isn't funny, neither is Jeff Foxworthy. In my opinion anyway.
The only good roast I've ever seen was Norm Macdonald's roast of Bob Saget
That letter basically killed Wonder Showzen, as it led to the god-awful Horse Apples segments that were less a parody of Hee Haw and more of a copy of the Hee Haw ripoff Blue Collar TV. Also, we got a stupid puppet who said Texas as a punchline. Meanwhile, roasts were pretty much dead once James Franco got one.
People hate Tosh.0 but he was SO ahead with his internet clips. Too bad it was weekly bc meme fads would last for a week or so... now it's 6hrs max lol
Tosh basically took the concept of America's Funniest Home Videos and replaced home movies with Internet videos. That Dane Cook clone did nothing new.
New listener - this is my first Internet Salad! holy smokes - so glad I’m here!! Hello everyone- this is awesome - love these guys…
Jeff Arcuri? Is he acceptable as a comic? Or is he in a different space? I love listening to you both yak. Feels like I’m eavesdropping from around the corner…
Tell us how you really feel Jimmie 😆 love these episodes
Fuck I love when they go off like this
I would listen to 3 hours of this every week. Hands down my favorite episode type.
Aren't podcasts just talk radio??
Working on my bike. Listening to the boys. Happy Memorial Weekend everyone.
Greg Geraldo's time on stage was the only reason to watch a roast. Just his part, then shut it off, because he couldn't be topped.
Kevin Hart is basically black Dane Cook. He's loud and does physical "comedy" because his jokes aren't funny and he needs something to do on stage. To clarify, this has nothing to do with race. Kevin Hart and Dane Cook are equally unfunny.
💯
I laughed so fucking hard at the David Cross letter! Fucking amazing! And Kevin Hart sucks
Not very good. Couldn’t finish listening, too much complaining and crying.
You're pretty sensitive, aren't you?
Larry the Cable Guy has an estimated net worth of $100 million Kevin Hart, $500 million David Cross…..$10-$12 million. I’m sure that as much as Larry and Kevin are hacks they sleep just fine at night while David Cross hopes they keep reruns of Arrested Development on Netflix for residuals.
LMAO, David Cross is so great, I love that guy. I'm such a skeptic w ghosts but I believe in aliens fully. After my dad died I was walking w my mom smoking a joint w her. We both saw an orange dot at the top of the driveway. I thought it was a cats eye, then it started coming at us fast AF, it was a lil orb that came down between Ius flew up and disappeared. Idk about ghosts but I do think religion makes a lot of ppl think we're the only thing in this giant universe.
Finally!!!! Someone said it about Kevin Hart 😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 this episode was funny AF
Internet Salad and Prisoner Dating Game are my favorite episodes! x
David Cross is a national treasure
The letter made me think Larry the Cable Guy and his audience should have read Jingo by Terry Pratchett. But the message would probably confuse them. Jimmie is not as daft as he thinks he is.
Needed this this week. Hell yeah!
Also, it's wild how you could just change "PC" to "woke" and the right is still bitching about the exact same bullshit in the exact same ways.
David Cross is 62 years old. That's at least 10 more than I thought. Weird.
KNICKS
Kouri Richins be fartin’ - Kevin Hart
Try Roy Chubby Brown if you want tedious, backward, base "comedy". I apologise in advance
Head Of State and Down To Earth mentioned 🙌🙌
"everything I love is STUPID"
Thank you for your words about Jimmy Carter.
Just had a Fazzolis close in my town in Michigan 🤣
Whats funny to me is for all those "personal" attacks they had teams of writers behind all those jokes
Internet salad is great! Love the discussion about comedy. Listening to experts give you insight into their craft is fascinating. People who are talented and good at what they do showing you what makes a bit good versus derivative makes me what to learn more. So cool. Gives me criteria to recognize a comedian versus a hack. Thanks guys.
It’s not that hard to tell who’s a hack. Just listen to their material. If it feels like you’ve heard that joke a million times, it’s because you have.
I lost it when James said Dick van Dyke was still out there "chim chim chereeing"
That was time well spent reading David Cross’s letter to Dan Whitney hahaha I’m really looking forward to them tearing the Shirilla family to shreds soon.
I don't think there's anybody on this planet that hates religion more than James does lol
Love when it comes up
Anyone else like James and just want to know more (about anything)? I often wonder why this southerner didn't end up as dumb as my red hat…uhm…redneck kin? I could be living a life of bliss and only be angry about gas prices.🤐 I digress—thanks for the nightmare fuel, James…and the now irresistible urge to deep dive into things that will haunt me. Fuck me and my inability to mind my own business.🤦♀️ I love Cross and didn't know of the letter—it was fan-fucking-tastic! He's brilliantly wry and witty, quick as a whip. I agree with Jimmie on the ruining part. As bona fide Southern white trash, I can't stand that the “Larrys” of this country who’ve not only profited off exploitation but have made everyone with an accent, synonymous with willfull ignorance. Thanks for a great bonus, fellas!
I like to consume information on pretty much everything too! Kinda like our brains are libraries. Learning and storing that information up there to possibly be checked out at a later date and used for something. Sounds like you're a fairly open minded person and you like to gain knowledge by doing the research and legwork yourself instead of just believing what the person on the screen in front of them is saying. It's a bit troubling to see so many who prefer to accept whatever they're told and smile while getting screwed. Seems like they're good with their lives not improving as long as the lives of people they don't like are getting worse. A very strange mentality but seemingly a growing mentality. Remember...ignorance can be educated, crazy can be medicated but stupidity is entirely unfixable. Good on you for not just accepting getting hammered fucked. Sadly it's happening anyway but keep on striving to fill the library upstairs! Be well!!
Love Doug Stanhope and I miss Richard Jeni. Thank you for calling out shitty comedians.
Stanhope is my favorite comedian. I was in the audience for his No Place Like Home special.
30 years ago, Fazoli’s was “ok” if you had kids to feed and no time to cook. Gave them a try recently and threw it out. Garbage! Not even as “ok” as it was then.
I was listening to a recent episode in which James and Jimie briefly mentioned that constellation names are relatively modern. While true, the core stories are older than we think. An article I saw a few weeks ago, about the Pleiades ("Seven Sisters"), completely blew my mind. While the labels change, the lore belongs to the oldest unbroken oral traditions in human history. Here is why: From Aboriginal Australian and Ancient Greek to Onondaga Iroquois and Islamic traditions, cultures separated by millennia all share the same motif: women fleeing a male hunter (Orion). Scientists found these myths didn't spread by neighbours copying each other. They are a generational inheritance, so structurally consistent, they help map early human migration out of Africa. CSIRO Australia calculated that 100,000 years ago, two stars in the cluster (Atlas and Pleione) were far enough apart to be seen separately, though they now appear merged. This perfectly explains the universal "lost sister" myth, dating the story to before humans left Africa. Check out the full article here: https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/to-glimpse-the-contours-of-star-lore-look-to-the-pleiades
Whoa I just listened to an episode of Sounds Like A Cult where one of the gals mentioned there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on earth.
There’s an estimated 2 TRILLION GALAXIES, in the Universe….not stars, fuckin galaxies You know how long it would take to count to a trillion??… 30,000 years. Yup, we are not alone
I worship in the House of Sagan. We're made of star stuff.
"Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." - Arthur C. Clarke Love the UFO 🛸 talk!!…Seems like James is coming around a bit :)
Enjoy internet salad .
45mins in they are still on the david cross open letter....
Probably because its fucking hilarious chief.
Internet Salad = reading an open letter from twenty years ago.
U know how to unfollow, right? If not, I will teach u
Also, Roy Clark on Hee Haw was a MONSTER in terms of music. The man could play the hell out of anything with strings
David Lindley was also gifted but slightly (lol) different background
Those shows weren't popular at the time, they were the only choice. People of color were kept in very demeaning roles and it made for a complete misrepresentation of they way actual families looked.
You are SEVERELY overestimating some of your audience…..I can vouch for that lol
They know. They just can’t say it out loud.
Internet salad is the only salad I consume 🥗
2006 is when FB stopped requiring a college email to sign up!
So excited.
My fave bonus. And the personal ads
I love the Love after lockup (its been a minute since they've talked about thay show)
Yesssss!!!! LOVE ME SOME INTERNET SALAD!!!!!!
But not this one
YAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!
