He's not wrong and to be serious for a moment...modern high speed rail would cut down continental U.S. plane travel, which would be good for the environment...so we won't do it because we prefer to let our outdated rail system have derailments instead.
YES YES YES!!! We need this!! Now, if you can actually save us, please do. Thanks for making this, Nish and Coco (and Tommy and the Jons). Everyone, comment to help The Algorithm.
❤ THIS! I'm sitting here wondering / daydreaming about how sustainable this energy is! I can't recall recently - if ever - grinning and nodding appreciatively for pretty much the entire show. I've always thought of myself as a cockeyed optimist but this recurring Podcastration™️ might be the cynical infusion I've sought all my life. Optimism is nice but can get exhausting. *One serious question* though: can this be done live? or does it require post-production clean up for the (I assume) intercontinental lag? I'm asking bc if done live, a comments section might well provide the powder keg needed for a much needed New Revolution that Jefferson (?) endorsed. 😂
Coming to you from a small town in Texas, LOVING British humor: Nish Kumar is the best! And what an amazing fit in this project!!! I think this is going to be great! And also really impactful! Job well done!
I was watching this video and my husband walked in from work and without seeing the TV said “OMG NISH!” He’s stoked that one of his favorites is joining the Crooked family.
So happy to see you “franchise” your brand! I’ve loved Nish for a hot minute, and I had an inkling from Mash Report that he could really step up into “solid news commentary with a humorous bent” rather than just SNL-style one-liners. Loving all of this for all of you (and all of us).
This is brilliant... Great idea. I really hope Pod Save the UK explains the details of how things actually work...like the house of Lords, first past the post and constituencies etc and then the pros and cons of our system. Pod Save America is really good at explaining the technicalities something that I have never seen in the UK. There is always the assumption that we already know how it works... Though as it's never been explained at school or the news I am not sure how people are meant to find out.
'First past the Post' is, essentially the same set up for how the country chooses the President. Lots of smaller elections (across each state) and if a candidate wins enough of those smaller elections......they get to be President (via the EC confirmation). And in both cases it isn't necessarily the person/party (UK) that gets the most votes who wins, just whomever racks up enough local election wins.
This was delightful. Like watching your two best friends get along. But COME ON! Pod Save UK before Canada. Come on neighbour!!! We need you!!! Typing from Toronto.
I love Nish and have just been introduced to Coco... I think they will do a great job. I loved having the two teams, as it were, on here... please make it a semi-regular thing.
It would be great to see segments contrasting things like US libertarianism vs European libertarianism. The following platform is extremely viable in most developed countries right now: - Electoral reform (UK, US, Canada, other Commonwealth nations) - UAP disclosure - Official release of consistent government Covid statistics
#3 - Doing my part to strengthen Pod Save the UK with the TH-cam algorithm by posting multiple comments here: I swear, humor is always what pulls ppl in. Almost never just facts. Humor taps into the motivational force of emotions. Anger and fear do the same, but those emotions are stagnating and corrosive. Humor frees you up to be creative and kind as well as motivated for action. . . . I am hoping he can pull in the likes of Jon Richardson, Richard Ayoade, David Mitchell, Henning Wenn, Roisin Conaty, Miles Jupp, David Tennent, etc . . . Henning Wenn might be too tart . . . I love how uncomfortable he makes me. . . . . . I think Richard Ayoade does a particularly good job, like Nish, of balancing pointed opinion, humor and sarcasm.
Delightful back and forth. Subscribed and shared your link with a number of like-minded groups on social media. Hoping you make a major go of it and that this was not an introductory one-off, but will be a regular "check-in" on our dear British cohort.
Someone may have said this already, but are none of these people familiar with "talk shit, get hit?" Lol I immediately knew what banged meant bc we say the American version a lot where I live. It's about as common as "snitches get stitches"
11:42 Oh. My. God! That is the best british phrase I've ever heard, *and* the funniest thing I have *_EVER_* heard on a political podcast. Immediate Subscribe!
7:35 On the voter ID age-disparity thing: one form of ID that is allowed is a bus pass **but only for the elderly** . If you are a new/younger voter, _with the same type of bus pass ID_ , you aren't allowed to use it to vote. _Some_ have suggested that the tories are trying to disefranchise voters who would be less likely to vote for them. 🤔
Fantastic! Loving the UK-US political/comedy crossovers. I saw Jon Stewart & Ian Hislop convo recently - SO GOOD! What can be next? My hope is on a Stephen Colbert - Graham Norton chat :)
I hope this happens regularly because we seriously need to organise properly over in the UK to help move towards a green revolution before we pass the tipping point solely down to big business greed
NATO has expanded eastwards because countries newly liberated from the Soviet Union wanted future protection from Russia trying to reassert control over them. Russia is proving them to be correct in fearing it.
I hope the podcast can communicate to audiences when/where policy is England only, and UK-wide - considering the role of devolution. Otherwise risks becoming far too Westminster/southern English focused.
There will be opportunities to highlight snp failires, I'm sure. And also to help explain that the UK is currently being affected by two instances of nationslist separatism: brexit and 'indy' nationalism. 👍🏻
@@Tao_Tology my point is more they allude to voter id in local elections - this only applies to elections Westminster oversees e.g. UK parl and English elections. Not Scottish/Welsh local and parliamentary elections. It's important to clarify these distinctions so that the far too often shorthand of UK = England and England = UK is avoided. Otherwise can feel like tuning into a podcast that doesn't actually understand the entirety of the nation they are discussing.
@@caseysmith4206 There's certainly lots of scope for discussion about the different levels of government across the UK and how the devolved assemblies, council, Mayor-fiefdoms etc operate.
That last surprise message was real sweet. Misery truly loves company. Love it. Good job and good luck, Pod Save the UK (or Pod Save the Queen for the ‘merkins).
Tried to find an email or something so I could email you guys but I freaking LOVED this. I'm born and raised in California and moved to the UK. Which btw as someone who *literally* traded Trump for Boris (moved in March 2020) I would keep Boris
Good idea you two. Nothin wrong with the copy cat thing. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Seems like most trends in most areas from politics, to culture to... Well everything, my country has going on makes it's way across the pond a few years later. Its almost like we are traveling on the same timeline, with the Brit's just a few years behind on that same timeline. Shyt, thats fortunate for you guys. You, " COULD, " learn from our larger fck ups and alter course and do what positive we've done but much better.
Funniest political banter I've seen. Please do a monthly catch-up with each other. it would be fab. As a Brit, I took an interest in US politics as soon as Trump announced his run. As you all said, the spread of right-wing ideas, seems pervasive world-wide. Hearing outsider views on each country can only be positive, especially with such intelligent and hilarious presenters on either side of the pond. I fear Labour have inched their way to the centre of the political see-saw - keen to present a stable and normal alternative to far-right ideology. They seem to perceive strong support of the NHS and other strikes as somehow being too extreme for the average Brit, despite, as Nish points out, the history of the party ideals. I really hope they edge back to their side of the see-saw and have the guts to cling on. It's gonna be a bumpy ride regardless, but a better outcome surely if they can say, 'At least we tried' rather than, 'I think we'll sit this round out."
So happy about this. Save Australia next please. Speaking of....Lovett needs to stop doing his-bad Kath and Kim impression- "Australian accent" (everything else he does is perfect) We say Nahhhh if anything also please no one base an ozzy accent after the fab kook commander in Mrs Davis. He's great but the accent is South African British La.
"and like most trains in America it derailed" is some of Lovett's finest work 🤣
And we’re still smelling the toxic fumes 😆
He's not wrong and to be serious for a moment...modern high speed rail would cut down continental U.S. plane travel, which would be good for the environment...so we won't do it because we prefer to let our outdated rail system have derailments instead.

Not sure I love your capital A on algorithm, but you're only truthing it.
Algorithm,

I want our nephew in London to find this!
This was fantastic- honestly I'd love a weekly podcast where the hosts of Pod save America and Pod Save the UK just insult eachothers country 😂
Agreed. Thanks for articulating that for me. 😃
Dude seriously let’s get that going

Coming to you from a small town in Texas, LOVING British humor: Nish Kumar is the best! And what an amazing fit in this project!!! I think this is going to be great! And also really impactful! Job well done!
So happy to see Nish and get more of an understanding of British politics. So excited for this!
I hope they do more crossover episodes. This is great.
This episode is in the "put it in my favorites that I rewatch once a year" tier. Goodness, that was funny and cathartic.
The teamup I never knew I needed! Been a fan of Nish Kumar since his early appearances on Mock the Week.
👉🏼 Adding Philomena Cunk & Charlie Brooker to my Dream Roster. May also intersect with Paul Provenza / Satiristas. I'll ping him.
Been a fan since he tried to throw a coconut on Taskmaster
I was watching this video and my husband walked in from work and without seeing the TV said “OMG NISH!” He’s stoked that one of his favorites is joining the Crooked family.

Excellent. 10/10. My only note is that this could've been 6 hours longer.
That was great! And Lovett was absolutely on fire here, so many great lines!
Did anyone have a better time than Jon?! Amazing episode!
I don't think I've laughed aloud more at a Pod Save episode, and that's a high bar. We need a crossover at least twice a year!
I love that "chat shit, get banged" played a key role in this intercultural communication session.
😂Definitely needed this! But us Brits are beyond saving!
Fuck I am so up for this. Finally someone to chat through the perpetual eye roll/anxiety/anger spiral with us. Subscribed, let's goooo.
Not found oh god what now yet?
I fell in love with Nish when he wrote the song “I’m always seeing you do cool stuff” on Taskmaster!
Love that this is happening! Will be here for every episode. ❤
Yay, I'm psyched for this new pod. Definitely do more crossovers, this was a damned delight.
Excellent effort, guys! More of this!
Freaking fantastic from all involved. Please do more of these!
This is brilliant... Great idea.

Definitely do this more often! Let's Tommy flex his world-o bonafides. Lovett was on point!
This was delightful. Like watching your two best friends get along. But COME ON! Pod Save UK before Canada. Come on neighbour!!! We need you!!! Typing from Toronto.
I concur (also from Toronto). But at least we have Because News (on CBC Radio).
@@KristineMaitland But but but....I want more!! You are not wrong. I just want the Pod take on Canada to guide us through the next little while...
This was so much fun! 2 of my ‘fandoms’ colliding. I’m Belgian, and I was always a huge fan of Nish on the Mash Report.
We need a Pod Save Canada as well, theyr'e doing the same thing with universal health care here, trying to hand off all the work to private companies.
Yaaaas! When I heard that Pod Save the UK was starting up, I had no idea that Nish would be a host. Hell yeah!
Been a while since I laughed this hard. This was amazing and am looking forward to more
Hi Nish!! So happy to see you again! You're my Romesh. ;)
Wonderful. Will check out the UK version.
I love Nish and have just been introduced to Coco... I think they will do a great job. I loved having the two teams, as it were, on here... please make it a semi-regular thing.
We who are about to consume you (via content) salute you. We need more of this cross over.
It would be great to see segments contrasting things like US libertarianism vs European libertarianism.
The following platform is extremely viable in most developed countries right now:
- Electoral reform (UK, US, Canada, other Commonwealth nations)
- UAP disclosure
- Official release of consistent government Covid statistics
I'd love for Tommy to pop in sometimes and "chat shit". Either way, I'm intrigued by this and want more! Can't wait for James O'Brien to be a guest!
This was so funny! You guys should definitely collab on some more pods!
US Translation: "Talk shit, get hit"
Can we keep lovett
Love this! Thanks so much
Great stuff. Looking forward to this.

Jon Lovett is ON FIRE!!! It's a pity that there were no bread rolls.
I love how sassy Lovett is

I love Nish, he's one of my favorite comedians.
This is great!
I love the idea of Joe Rogan locked up in the British museum with just a plaster mannequin left behind in his podcasting chair.
I hope the podcast can communicate to audiences when/where policy is England only, and UK-wide - considering the role of devolution. Otherwise risks becoming far too Westminster/southern English focused.
There will be opportunities to highlight snp failires, I'm sure.

Absolutely ❤ this ! We need more !
LOVED this!
Pod Save America / Nish Kumar crossover?? YES!
I'm also very glad to be introduced to Coco through this video. Everyone in this episode is top notch!
Lovett had 4-5 quotables alone. He definitely brought his a-game 😂
That last surprise message was real sweet. Misery truly loves company. Love it. Good job and good luck, Pod Save the UK (or Pod Save the Queen for the ‘merkins).

Good crossover intro to the new pod. Will be watching. 💜
Absolutely brilliant!!!!😂
This was so good! I did keep waiting for Lovett to rant about the monarchy 😂
Loved this!! What a great conversation!
Wohoo! Great mash-up!!
Relying on the incompetence of others is a success that labor has had but how well it does for the people is for them to answer.
Nish and Lovett...we are not worthy
More of this please!
Love it!!!
Great show
Great content, thank you.
Absolutely amazing session, loving this.
Dude I LOVE Nish Kumar
so glad for this!
Love them as a team! Excellent
I can't think of better hosts
You made me happy.
I’m finding it so weird hearing English chat dropped into the US Pod’s chat. Such different vibes.
That was amazing
Welcome!! PSUK!
UK needs the Pod, if only to remind normal people that their political class is acting abnormally. 👍 great work
