As a Scotsman, I couldn't be prouder that foreign nationals get proper healthcare from my tax money. The NHS is the greatest thing the UK has and I'm more than happy that its care first, everything else second.
awnnerd That, simply, is a comical lie. Our NHS is 100% devolved so the Scottish government can decide where to allocate funds. England makes more money from its NHS because you let your Government privatise large parts of it, hence there is overpriced, profit driven services. The Barnett formula means that when new funding is allocated, devolved policy areas such as NHS Scotland, receive a proportionate share. I'd love to see where you get your information from, Mr Englishman.
What on Earth makes you think somebody would have a preference for their taxes to be spent on somebody who may have been born in the same geographical vicinity as themselves over another who was born further afield. With your attitude, I for one would put you at the back of the queue!
You brought back a memory I had not thought of for years! When you talked about your name change and how all three of you have different last names. I had gone across the border into Winterpeg with my six year old son to take him to a planetarium show. We were whisked right across the border into Canada. On our return there was a problem getting back in to the states. I did not have any identification for my son. We had never needed them in the past. They said we need to take the child into an interview room because we need to assess that he is your son as you claim. The border patrol escorted him away from me into a room and I was standing there trying to figure out how I was going to prove he was my child and that I was not abducting Canadian children to whisk into the United States. The next thing I heard was loud laughter from the room and the entire border patrol gob smacked. Apparently the first thing they asked was “Are you traveling with your Mom?” He answered “yes.” Then they asked how do we know you are telling the truth and that you are not from Canada? He apparently snapped to attention, placed his hand on his heart, and began in a serious, firm, loud voice to flawlessly recite the entire pledge of allegiance. They burst out laughing and said “We can rule out that he is Canadian!”
I've been a Jim Jefferies Fan for years now, Not a lot of people know it but he is truly the sweetest man and has a huge heart. He's absurd and says ridiculous shit but its all in the name of Comedy. He deserves the best and I hope his career continues to grow. If you don't like him, then you just don't get it and you're missing out ;) Love ya Jim. I still side with you on doing the Glory Hole Challenge lol
Wow someone else who knows what the glory hole challenge is! I have to agree I've loved Jim for years, I'm not a fan of his comedy central show, but I'm English, nor am I interested in politics so not much appeals to me on there. But his stand up, interviews and podcasts are always gold. Wish him and Eddie would make up and wish Legit came back for season 3.
Fantastic show as always. One of your best interviews yet, Jeffries is brilliant in this format and on stage. Love the show and thank you for posting them for everyone to learn and enjoy.
around 1 hour 6 minutes. I'm a British citizen and this story about the NHS made me proud and contrary to the hosts strangely certain statement - I did like hearing that story. Very much
+Goodererful it wasn´t the host but his stupid sidekick nontheless an incredible stupid thing to say i´m german and we have pretty much the same system and never understood the resistance to public healthcare theres hardly any better way to spend tax money than on public healtcare
Omg I can listen to that guy talking for daysssss!!!!! :) He's so charismatic, smart, cute, funny and ADORABLEEEE.. :) He definitely should be waaaaay more famous! :)
@@mrartboy1Check out his Alcoholocaust show, it's amazing stand up. If you like risky comedy and good stories he's amazing. The bloke you'd be happy to be left with in the pub alone, just so you can let him ramble on.
I no longer believe this, I believe it's human deceny to provide for yourself rather than getting the state to tax people who made good decisions to make up for you bad ones, also the NHS is dreadfully inefficiant, the care is horrible, in 2017 we should be able to have something better.
1:06:45 - I'm British, and I think most other British people are pretty happy to spend a few pounds a year providing emergency treatment anybody that needs it. Be pretty embarrassed if we had hospitals that turned away or tried to charge people who needed seeing.
I'm far too scared of their sense of reason. Every country has their idiots, a vast majority of British people seem to be very proud of what the NHS does and has done for people.
I wanted to write a comment on the same thing. Americans don't seem to understand these type of things. I explained a Canadian once the benefits of Government controlled health insurance. He was so surprised. He actually sold health insurance to companies as an employee benefit. He questioned the socialist system of government controlled insurance as if often the case in Europe. I explained him I was happy to pay a bit extra to have the European system, because I want good health care for everybody. So when I would be in a need of extra care I would be happy that I could rely on it. I don't want insurance companies be occupied with evaluating peoples risk profiles and determining if health care is related to pre-conditions. Insurance companies should accept everybody blindly, because then it becomes a risk factor that is calculated for everybody and they don't spend money on pre-screening and lawyers. For a young healthy person he might be able to get a better deal, but in general everybody is better off. Seriously, he was quiet. So I am totally with you. I would be proud too! Its interesting how religious Americans are and how little they care about taking care of their fellow human beings. All for one and God for us all.
Seriously, what is with this woman? If she finds swearing so offensive, and heavy accented opinionated Australians so offensive, she needs a new career.
Fantastic !! Jim rocks. not everyones cup of tea but he is mine and i think hes brilliant! although Jamie looks a little unimpressed with a few comments lol
It took 7 tries and 1 and a half hours before Sammy got a laugh from an interjection. nearly derailed a great interview at 2 points. go higher on the shelf man.
So, I'd really love some answer here, if anyone could: Why Bayonne? I grew up there and it's so small and 'unknown', but comes up in Hollywood/show business reference more often than it should. War of the Worlds was partially filmed there, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, as well. Bayonne High School from that one music video back in the 90s, American Reunion had FInch working at the Staples in Bayonne, NJ and now Chatshow brings it up on the Kevin Pollak show?! What's going on here? Seriously, I just don't get it, despite spending the first 23 years of my life there. What's the Hollywood/show-biz connection to Bayonne, NJ? PS. Incidentally, if Jim was seeing the Statue of Liberty (technically in NJ waters, by the way) he was likely in Jersey City or Hoboken, especially with the Weehawken Ferry right there in Port Imperial (though, that might technically be Edgewater city limits).
Thanks, that could be it. Because when Kevin says it, he gives that knowing look to someone off camera, as if checking if they get the reference. That's why I figured there was some significance to him saying Bayonne and not just picking it randomly. This could be it, though I'd still love an answer from someone on the show if they knew for sure. Still, your answer is much appreciated and will definitely sate my curiosity for now haha.
Hey just wanted to chime in coz I'm a Geordie so I'm from Newcastle England. was cool to get a mention being such a tiny little city but jesus, Jim cant do the accent, he sounds Welsh. which is actually cool coz I pride myself on being able to do accents and I'm fucked if I can do an ozzy one haha!
Cool interview. But it would be even better if Kevin had a better sense of when NOT to talk. His guest gets on a roll, and he interjects - crap. Or his own thoughts. This sort of show is not about the host. Again, still enjoyed it..but just saying.
+Carl-Fredrik L yeah cause she's probably one of those gals who think cooking is still the only proper occupation for women...........................smh
How about this? The reason why "dead babies" get into heaven is because God could foresee they would accept Him when they are old enough to have the free choice. In the Bible there are no child baptisms.
Seriously, what is the point of the 2 other people? They add NOTHING to the show even, dare I say it, take away from the show. Always chipping in, interrupting the guest or Kevin, with a story or comment that has nothing to with what they are talking about. They're not so bad here, but they were awful in the Bill Burr one. If they are researchers or producers to the show, keep them off the show. They're a background function. Anyway, Jim Jeffries was good. I always like his stories. But the stories about his family make me uncomfortable. It sounds like he reveals too much about them....!
