relistening to this while working on my assignment for my english language degree and it hurt my heart to hear jack say that a mug is a proper noun

melobugs

fancy seeing you here

Jorja-Rose

not having seen happy gilmore is a crime

Paige Dear

i would definitely buy the vinyl

maya francis

Tommy's face when jack was talking about siblings made me bittersweetly cackle

my favourite album is darkness on the edge of town - it's phenomenal, i can't even give words to describe it. if you don't want to listen to the whole album though, i'd recommend badlands, candy's room, the promised land or racing in the street. i would also consider checking out the movie blinded by the light. perfectly captures the energy of listening to the boss' music. (also, on the off chance you're especially interested in german/soviet history - read about his 1988 concert in east berlin. he opened with badlands, had an audience of 300,000 and gave an appeal for freedom that contributed so significantly to the need for liberation in east berlin at the time that modern historians have called the concert one of the factors for the fall of the berlin wall in 1989.) i know this is a lengthy reply, but it makes me really happy to see new bruce fans. hope you enjoy the recs!!

Another comment lol, but “why” always will be more important to “what”, in my opinion. There is no what without a why, because then there’s no drive to create the what. WHY do we need something? For a task. The what comes later, as a question to identify something in order to figure out its meaning. Think of language & tools we’ve used as children. We need to know why we have something before we know what it is. If anyone’s ever been to a hospital or like in complete panic attack mode, you will always know why before what. I know why I need something, & in that moment, I don’t care WHAT it is; be it a hand to hold, painkillers, a doctor, maybe a shower. It’s what leaves you vulnerable, to be in a stage with little ability to do anything yourself or to ask questions & use that knowledge on your own. Another example- when I learnt English, I learnt the language before I knew what language is. I subconsciously knew why I needed it (for communication & thus survival), even though I discover new reasons of why I use English through new experiences. Also, if scaled by importance, why is still more important in my opinion, because without why, we’d never learn. We always need to ask why, because it’s how we learn. It’s how we are individuals who have thoughts independent of others that may use us. Also, knowing what something is can’t satiate the question of existence. If you think of existing as nothing but dark emptiness, then the pondering of “why” is existence enough in itself. You can fill a void with thoughts of why, though to be fair, I suppose this goes for all the questions there are to ask. But, a thought, or idea, can exist as a why or if, always before anything will become a what. Also, I think if you ask why enough, you get to the root of nature & existence itself. Why is the big question that people try to answer with religion- which is such an important part to many people’s lives- too, for instance. Think of the “why?” game kids play; kids do this & it appears (& may be intended as) obnoxious, but there’s also genuine curiosity in the unknown when you’re a kid. You could argue that we do, in fact, ask or learn the what before the why. But it doesn’t change the fact that one way or another, the necessity of a why will always come first. Sure, you may realize the why after the what, but its relevance surpasses what. In other words, we may 1st learn what and then why long after, but why, whether we ourselves knew it in the moment or not, was still the catalyst of what.

Paused this episode to listen to Bruce Springsteen after about 13 minutes in. I know who he is, but never really listened to is music. Every single lyric. Of “Streets of Philadelphia” resonated with me. It was like hearing the thoughts & experiences of myself & so many others being described so beautifully. Thanks for inspiring me to give him a listen. I love it. Mr. Simons, if you like Bruce Springsteen, maybe try Johnny Cash. Different style, & roughly a decade before Mr. Springsteen started gaining popularity, but really powerful messages about self-discovery & commentary on how broken society is. The guy was ahead of his time. If anyone else has any suggestions on what to listen to, or has a favorite song from Bruce Springsteen, feel free to share!

for how much is stereotyped about americans' geography skills asking if mexico is in south america is crazy

Miri Nannestad

...lowkey i would not buy the vinyl unless its like ... narrated "best moments" ... random audio clips together would be so odd lmao. tbh i think a list of the "best worst moments" would be a good one for a vinyl/cd or the 1 yr anniversary

L4UNDRY_BE4R

oh if Jack is struggling with booking the appointment... I dunno if it works the same in the UK but you have to call EVERY month for Adderall, you can't put it on auto refill; and you have to see the doctor every 6 months for the prescription to stay active

L4UNDRY_BE4R

HAHA i actually never finished this episode the first time because i went and played the stimulation clicker game & now I see Jack mentioning he got sucked into it. It's an ADHD mind melt, I fear

L4UNDRY_BE4R

i would so buy a suit vinyl man

judeprintz_

Oh my god yes 😂

Kai

I would love a SUIT vinyl, but I want all of the different intros scattered throughout it. Because theyre so fun

Kai

i would buy the SUIT vinyl. that was be brilliant

aidan

I would so buy a shut up I’m talking vinyl

Daisy <3

Bella Iris

Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups" is only surpassed by Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups 2", fuck you

Aurelian

I'd deffo buy the shut up im talking vinyl tbf

wwoodrow

I think you should have a new segment called song of the week where you say the song of the week and fight over whos song is better

Liv

got sidetracked and stopped watching pod to play stimulation clicker - 10/10

Mirp

My Uncle buys me a vinyl every Christmas and Birthday. Pleaseeee allow me to ask him for a vinyl of my favourite podcast.

Jemima Branson

i agree that what trumps why, but i think where trumps what

Feli

Tom seems scared of intellect, which checks out

emma

SPY KIDS MENTION??

bella!

What is so much better than why sorry jack

Jack Johnson

Lactose Intolerant Chocolate Hack: All chocolate that's 70% or over cocoa is dairy free and they replace the butter with cocoa butter

Bea

"there's no culture there" - Jack about Antarctica, not be being offended on behalf of the penguins 😂

Bea

the life checklist is just the Sims 4 milestones

Hope

st.aelphaba

give us an “i’m just tom X the internets getting worse X Philza minecraft song” vinyl

Josh

spy kids 2 reference?

5k0rpion

Tom argues like a conservative and its fascinating

Byyrds

Adam Sandler is horrible

Madeleine Carson

over recent episodes i have come to realise jack is actually very philosophically smart and scientifically smart, meanwhile tom is very appreciative of the simple beauty in life - makes for some interesting and entertaining discussion (i loved the mug question btw)

WarlockTin

fuck yeah comedy vinyl sounds sick

angel

pleaasseee do the comedy vinyl

Lu

just want you guys to know the who, what, when, where, why segment was my favourite

Wilbur Bonham-Carter

Jack would really rather go see an island of moss and rocks than a jungle with new species literally anywhere you look????? I've been to both and I dream of the jungles whilst Iceland was tbh depressing and empty and cold

Starlight

I love Tomas “Tomska” Ridgewell

HAII

I went to a couple places in South America last year and omg Uruguay was amazing!!!!

HAII

Do the vinyl, my grandpa has a few comedy vinyls and it is such an experience to listen to

nullus

Ealainez Beckett

Olivia Pittman

This whole episode is one big deja vu lol

Plinky

i usually find myself agreeing with jack but film over music is insane

Holly s

the zero gravity idea sounds really cool. would love to see a video/stream around that :D

ur mum

A podcast vinyl would be the actual best!!!

Honey

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉wooooo

ur mum

I beg please get Tomska on the podcast he would have such an interesting insight on leaving YouTube and also the amount of insane stories he has would be brilliant to hear

Toothless

Damn, 3 weeks in a row where Tommy calls Jack stupid and dim for having an interest in science? I'll say again, Jack has the patience of a saint.

harlizard

Shirt up I'm talking was Right There

lucia

The greatest moments podcast vinyl would be iconic

Lasweeni

Why, What is why without what

Leighton hendon

the patreon noise is kinda why i paid my $7 (only half joking). it just feels incomplete if i only listen to the first part

Alfie WC

week 4 of asking podcast jingle to be sung by jack (jazz edition)

spaxuko

Podcast vinyls should be a thing for every podcast ever

Tuesday

This was talked on the main but i feel like it's more likely it'll be seen here by ppl: I can confirm that as a college student i listen to this podcast while commuting and while making architecture models. It's the best thing to have playing in the backround.

Kat

tommy i would 100% buy a shut up im talking vinyl !!

Layla

we NEED shut up im talking merch

votejuno

would purchase a vinyl of all shut up I'm talking moments

rinnthepooh

Rare Tom debate win

Hannah

Question about who, what, when, where, why question: what is exactly is 'who', is that like introspection or psychology? Cause my answer is 1. Who 2. Why 3. What 4. When 5. Where, but I might've misinterpreted.

charles 🐛🫧

jack you actually look like feyd rautha from dune 2

Emma Effinger

YES VINYL PLS

alyssa

the a side would be all of tom’s best moments and the b side would be all of jack’s best moments, maybe have a deluxe version with best guest moments? (the dnp worm bit better be on the guest vinyl)

ultravioletbutch

eagerly awaiting the SUIT vinyl and the tom simons comedy vinyl

ultravioletbutch

we finally got the letterboxd mention i’ve been waiting for god bless the patreon

ultravioletbutch

Im with Tom on the what VS why debate and I almost feel like a moron because of it

The_Rey_Rey

TEAM MUSICCCX

raven

Can blame maggie for that one

Eth

I feel like having anything over music is crazy because of music literally being everywhere

Alastair Cortez

shut up i’m shirt 😭

skysatlas

Ik this wasn't on the patreon but for tom's lactose intolerance, NOMO brand chocolate is the nicest dairy/milk free chocolate, and it is the closest to what I can remember real chocolate to taste like (i became allergic to dairy at 11 and I'm 20 now so take that with a grain of salt), and the best dairy free cheese imo is morrisons own brand, and it kinda melts! (which is impressive for fake cheese)

Shirt up I'm talking

Barneyve1

Loved the spy kids reference! That melody goes through my head when ever someone says “who what when where why”

Max Clark

yesss adam sandlers awesome. i had a bucket list to watch all his films. uncut gems is by far the best

raven

the vinyl idea is actually so sick though, would definately want that in my collection lol

Eyrún Huld

Hahaha train prices are absolutely insane at the moment!

liz f

I collect vinyls and I would 100% buy one

cal

i would love to get a shut up im talking vinyl!

Lee or a Bee

if you wanted you could even be the podcast to bring back cassettes! that would be a cool unique merch idea, i cant think of anyone off the top of my head who sells cassettes as merch and it would really suit the aesthetic of the office and the wardrobe and the overall vibes of the podcast. SUIT, warriors of physical auditory media!

alf

the vinyl idea does genuinely have merit. however, if you go through with the idea, could you please consider doing CD alternatives as well? record players are quite hard to get a hold of and CD collectors like myself would love to have physical media of the podcast! it would be fun to have a SUIT CD with the little booklet inside with a poster and extras

alf

why is tom dressed like a roblox bacon hair

juunohs

can y'all watch the hunchback of notre dame and talk about it next episode thanks 🥶

Budgie Imposter

Some of the ideas mentioned at the end (like zero gravity) if Jack doesn’t make it an actual video, could always have it as a nice patreon video 🤔

Valerie

great episode boys!

noeywoey

What > why > how > who > when > where (trust me I thought about this way too long) ..... also how is very important

Papaya

You guys mentioned about how both episodes last week were just arguing and then continue argue about random shite hahaha I do enjoy paying £5 a month to watch you both argue

Valerie

shirt up i’m talking when?!

Amelia Comber

i’d buy the vinyl tbf

Amelia Comber

you guys have got to stop talking about death lmao

Finn Hapgood

what > why because u can say. "what does this do"

CraftyCole

get rid of films i say. music is just everywhere

CraftyCole

i agree

CraftyCole

Genuinely it would be really nice to see merch that isn't just shirts/sweatshirts/hoodies cause those are overdone to hell and back, always good to see some more unique items!

Jay Ridge

actually heavily fuck with this arguing you guys keep doing every episode. please keep it up. terribly enjoyable

lovisa

pleeeeaaase can the next guest be james marriott id really like that x

eddie yourstodesign

Josh

"music is the best thing ever" may i unapologetically promote a (very) short story i wrote that i got a 1st for in creatibe writing about a man struggling with ghe loss of his girlfriend by using music as his escape to battle his feelings

lil mason

i nearly went to uni in aberdeen. Went to visit aberdeen for an open day and the train itself (8hours there and 8 hours back) was £200 not worth it bc i ended up going somewhere else lmao
