heheh, great show! The bachelor party stories were most funny (Jesse Joyce wiping a glitter card on Christian Finnegan's face was an act of evil genius! )

Question: Why does Jesse Joyce have such a big bug up his ass about Britain? Was he bum-raped by a Beef-eater in his youth or something? There must be some history there?

AAAaaaaand his British accent sucks giant monkey balls. Did he go to the Dick Van Dyke / Keanu Reeves school of crappy accents and mispronunciation? At least practice a half-passable accent before ripping the piss - it would lend your mocking a sense of knowledge and authority.

So, yeah, poo to you with nobs on, Jesse Joyce!

Christian’s comment about pussy journalists not following up on unanswered questions reminded me of some classic interviews I’ve heard in the British media. Journalists in Jesse’s favorite country are definitely a lot more hard-hitting than their American counterparts. But British politicians give as good as they get -- it helps a lot that they are constantly honing their debating skills in the House of Commons, I suppose.

Listen to this interview from about the 3:20 mark to get an idea of how British interviewers and interviewees go at each other gloves off. The interviewer is John Humphrys, a renowned pit bull. The guest is John Prescott, who was then Deputy Prime Minister, so note that we’re not dealing with some low-level nobody here:

True dat. Also check this classic Paxman where he asks Michael Howard the same identical question about 12 times. He don't let 'em off the hook...




I think we'll take that as a 'yes'

That version of the video has gone down. There's another one here.

The constant questioning starts at around 4:15. The rest is pretty dry.

When I lived in England I was pleasantly surprised to see how the news and media would dig and pry to get a legit answer from politicians and public figures. Channel 4 was very good at this, often interviewing one person in studio, with an opponent appearing on-screen — both sides of the story right there on the nightly news.

I was also impressed that Tony Blair, then Prime Minister, would take his own questions from the press once a week. Yes, the American president talks to the press corps, but only during a signing ceremony or some crap. I respect Tony Blair for his ability to defend his own actions, and not put a stand-in or spokeman to do it for him.

Regarding Parliament, yes, they get much more practice debating, especially with the jeers from the opposition. Interesting fact: the only word banned from use in Parliament is "liar." I think US Congress would be more interesting if the other representatives and senators were allowed to heckle during arguments.

Having these two together was hilarious. I hope there's an aftershow!
