BONUS - HOSTAGE SITUATIONS

Picking on you, James, because of your “don’t complain about a problem without a solution” mentality. How should people rebel against a corrupt government without costing YOU money? When every process the affected government would go through is based off YOUR money. There is no way. Even a peaceful letter goes through government lawyers. A coup goes through government soldiers. Don’t pay your taxes if you don’t want to contribute to the problem.

You guys need to do more in Quebec. I laugh my ass off trying to figure out people's names, towns and cities based on your pronunciation. One of your first Crimes in Sports the athlete robbed the Laurentian bank, took me a beat to figure it out. And his hockey team was, you said, "hors fang". I was on the floor laughing at work. My co-workers thought I had finally snapped LMAO 🤣 please keep it up, I love you guys

Ohhhhh Jimmie❤️ Accidentally encouraging revolution!! I’m with you, Babe:)

They only talked about 15% of the Patty Heart kidnapping...The guys could do a fully or multiple part episode on Patty Hearst

Love hearing James mispronouncing something, about time!😂

Idk. I'm trying. But these hostage situations are hitting too close to home

They really stop cause its too cold? 🤣

I'm a PhD candidate in public admin/social policy and it is hilarious watching James and Jimmie sort out the Kingdon Garbage Can Model in real time

My friend lives in Zwolle, wonder if she heard about this?

Re trickle down economics: My job deals with early 1900s probate records and a few days ago I handled a pre WW2 document of an economist's article in their local newspaper advocating for exactly this. I took one look at it and knew what I was reading but the further on I went the less I paid attention. It was the same old horseshit.

That is not just “political commentary.” Saying people in a region should be shot in the head because they are “stupid” is ugly. Even if they think they’re joking, that is vicious, dehumanizing language. And casually talking about attacking a financial institution like it’s some clever protest fantasy is reckless as hell. The stock exchange is not just “rich people’s money.” It is pensions, retirement accounts, payrolls, markets, businesses, ordinary workers, mortgages, jobs, confidence, supply chains — the whole system ripples. People love to pretend destruction only hurts the people they resent, but it never works that cleanly. The “we’re the smart compassionate ones” tone while they sit there saying hateful, violent, ignorant things about whole groups of people. It’s contempt wrapped in comedy. They’re doing the exact thing they’d condemn if the target were different. America has problems. Every country does. But people can get so drunk on complaint that they forget the scale of freedoms, comforts, opportunities, and protections they still have here compared with places where dissent can cost you your life. Loving your country does not mean pretending it is perfect. It means you can criticize it without wanting to burn it down, and you can be grateful without being blind.

I like that Jimmie is getting more radical lol he was basically like “all political power comes from the barrel of a gun” and I think that’s beautiful

Jimmie, check out what happened in Ludlow, CO in the 19teens. Essentially a 10+ civil war in southern CO. Unionists vs Johnny Rockefeller Jr and private militias. You are right. Nothing changes without bloodshed. And even with bloodshed, sometimes it stays the same.

Can we get more into Jimmie getting kidnapped? That was a crazy story drop, my brother in octopus

Anyone mention the Canadian stock exchange is more likely about cattle than finances.

Of course Fidel let the Canadians in. He hoped he could bang Margaret Trudeau one last time.

The Moluccans is a real sad story, during ww2 they fought on the Dutch side ( Indonesië was a dutch colony and they fought for their freedom) the Moluccans were promised their own soevereign state in return... only they needed to give the Dutch government a moment to work this out... Meanwhile they were brought to The Netherlands, housed in the former concentration camp in Bijlen (wtf???), they were at a complete standstill not encouraged to assimilate.. no cause they would have their own country soon.... inhumane how these people were treated. Then in the seventies the next generation had enough of all the lies and chose terrorism as a means, very wrong and very sad, but the were desperate.... the Dutch prime minister made the official excuse only a couple of days ago. Too little too late, but still... I remember the train hijacking and the other things, as a small child we watched it on the news in black n white. The Dutch have been absolutely ruthless towards their former colonies, anyways, not often can I share some background to a story and I hope you like the nuance!

There's a great movie about the JRA

I remember when Celine Dion refused to say she was Canadian and would only say she was Québécois because she was a separatist 😬 Now we’ve got the same stuff going on in Alberta, but with actual Nazis.

I love the boys. so articulate about the issues in our country rn.

As a Pakistani it was hilarious to hear James's frustration pronouncing those names in Kashmir.

In regards to the political talk at the 40 min mark; it's not that We the People actually forget that trickle down economics doesn't work every 15 years or so, it's that the rich/ruling class either reuses old ways or figures out new ways to trick the People into voting for a "newer version" of trickle-down economics that is just the same old shit that doesn't work with a new coat of paint slapped on it. And it always works because the same bad actors of the rich/ruling class perpetually defund the education that would give The People the ability to discern that the politicians are full of shit! Which is why I question how much of a "free country" we actually are, because from my POV it's always been a "freedom for me but not for thee" kind of situation in the U.S. It's an endless vicious cycle that leads to ruined, shattered, and unlived lives, and it's why my heart and soul will forever burn with hatred for the U. S. and its People.

Patty Hearst, in a true Bodyguard moment, ditched her fiance after she was kidnapped and married one of the cops from her security detail.

You can't vote your way out of fascism. I'm glad the boys know this, I wish James would study up more on NK so he doesn't believe lies the CIA tell him about that country.

Listen, Dutch words are ridiculous and the pronunciation rules incomprehensible. 10/10 would listen to James attempt them for hours.

South Moluccans are primarily found in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia.

f is in Francs,their money.

There is definitely a rich vein of kidnappings from the Troubles in Northern Ireland. In the musem I work in in Dublin we have a small statue that was given to businessman Ben Dunne by the IRA after they released him from being kidnapped by them. Has his name, the dates he was in their custody for... and the bullets they told him they would have shot him with if the Irish government had not paid for his safe return.

I like how James understands that America suffers from toxic masculinity and immature contrarianism masquerading as individualism and exceptionalism aka "Nobody tells me what to do!"

She is hot though

Jimmie needs to be allowed to attempt to pronounce the names James has with. 🤣

James fucking up these French names is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽😂

Crazy stories! Hopefully this will become a regular rotation item!

I enjoyed listening to Jimmy get in touch with his revolutionary side.

~40min mark the most political they’ve gotten. So cut the crap and bring back the political stats in small town murder lol. People embarrassed about their town’s voting behavior? Oh well

I think we have another, “James has Super Cotton Mouth” episode :)

Oh thats only for TX lol i agree w the rest lol

Ok lol hillbilly?? I mean i ll give Hicks lol but Hillbillies lol come on lol

I know the fellas don’t care, but in case anyone else is curious, it’s Mah-YORK-ah. 👍 carry on.

I think James is thinking of Brian Wells. He was in on the pizza bombing with Marjorie Dihl Armstrong.

YAAAAAYYYYY
