Allison! I sent this video to my mom because she's a huge Inspector Gamache fan and she sent the video to Louise Penny through her monthly newsletter and got this response from Louise's assistant: "Dear Joanne Linda from Scotland here, replying on Louise Penny's behalf. Louise wanted to say thank you for passing this video along to her. The interview was so funny. Love that for the sake of their marriage they limit her reading Louise to the month's of Dec and Jan ha! This made us laugh, thank you! Best wishes Linda" Love the videos! Hope this brings you a bit of joy :)
My favorite part of this video is Gabe unsuccessfully trying to hold in laughter during these stories. I can't. Thanks so much for your content, you make my life so much better!
In 2022 when I was admitted into the psych ward at Beth isreal hospital in Boston the only source of entertainment I was given was a donated copy of A rule against murder. It was a great comfort so Allison I completely understand
Last summer I visited the town that inspired three pines with my family and the entire time I was thinking about how Allison would lose her mind. It’s a very charming anglophone enclave in the Eastern Townships, 8.7/10 would recommend
I love both your character arcs. Gabe, your transition was wonderful and suits you so well (not that I have any right to judge that anyway). You somehow feel at peace and you honestly make me feel more relaxed while watching you. Allison, I don’t want to pretend like your broken engagement was a good thing, but it has been lovely watching you add many more layers to your already beautiful personality since then. It’s amazing when your role models grow with you, I can happily keep looking up to you guys.
My mom brought up the Inspector Gamache books the other day! She also loves them. Also I deeply relate to Gabe’s dad only talking abt Come From Away, that is how I acted after watching that musical
I've heard tell of Allison's love for Inspector Gamache on the podcast and I totally get it as a fellow cozy mystery lover, and yes, it's on my list of series to try! It's so funny to hear John's perspective, and definitely makes me reflect on my own relationships 😂
As an autistic woman myself, I agree with Gabe, are we REALLY sure Allison is not autistic? I’ve been watching you guys since buzzfeed and I have thought that for a while but in this episode it really shines through lmao
i’m obsessed with allison’s obsession with louise penny bc my boomer mother is a huge louise penny fan girl & that’s the only reason i know anything abt these books prior to allison coming out as a louise penny stan 😂
Absolutely do not let Alison at the murder mystery vampire knitting circle book series, it’s so shit and so cozy and engaging at the same time, I still dream about it regularly, and have bored my carer to tears going on about it
Long time fan but i haven't seen JBU on my feed in a few years so this is my first video in awhile, and yeah there are changes, but I don't think I'm surprised by them. The "tv show arc" is flowing nicely ;) Also of course Allison got married. Congrats!❤🎉 I'm so happy for both of you.
Maybe the solution here is: Allison keeps reading her books as much as she wants BUT- agrees to be more cognizant and give space to John to also talk a about his day and ground outside of the books? Idk lol but I hope they find sum nice balance where they are both happy ❤❤
i don't really like reading mysteries much myself but i do enjoy the plot breakdowns my mom will give me of the mysteries she reads. basically a little personal podcast!
I was 100% on John's side until Allison brought up Three Pines and I realised I know who Inspector Gamache is. He is the nicest human in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know Three Pines was based on a book series. I'm stopping the episode to go read them. I've lost interest in the discussion because all I want to do is talk about Inspector Gamache. Allison's obsession is 100% justified. Gamache is the BEST!
This is one of my comfort videos for a good cathartic laugh-cry. "I keep hearing about this son.." 😂 Another one is coming at the end of October so I foree a Three Pines holiday season. Thanks for the content!
It’s not a mystery but I’d say my cozy equivalent if Allison would like to expand her repertoire is Jenny Colgan’s “bookshop” novels. They seem very twee but they’re really not.
I'm so delighted, I thought I just wouldn't be able to hear your lovely voices ever again because I can't afford to sub to the podcast but HERE YOU ARE!! With your beautiful faces FOR FREE
I'm with John, Rachel Cusk is incredible! Describing the plot of literary fiction makes the books sound so boring, often the books I read can be described as "a sad woman goes about her life"
So often great books are not heavily plot driven but are more about the characters and their thoughts and feelings. I'd even go as far to say most great literature is..
10 minutes and 30 seconds into a 11 minute and 24 second video to realize John’s just got his dogs out on display. Phantom and his bare feet. I looked down once and now I just gotta say I think Allison should be allowed to read those books all year long.
I imagine this is how my husband feels about me telling him about the Untamed 😅 Also I laughed so fucking hard through this whole video! Please have more funny marital problems 😂
Stop limiting Allison! All Gamache, all year long. Girl - if you need to come to SoCal to read, let me know. And, I LOVE "Come From Away" too! You guys are great. Xo
A LGBTQ+ person watching heteronormativity is hilarious. Let her be!!!! Let her books be!!! Let her be obsessed!! Let her express her love like that. Idk - I agree with Gabe’s face.
Allison 10000% says "hot doggity dog" John said it and I heard it in her voice so clearly
Allison! I sent this video to my mom because she's a huge Inspector Gamache fan and she sent the video to Louise Penny through her monthly newsletter and got this response from Louise's assistant:
"Dear Joanne
Linda from Scotland here, replying on Louise Penny's behalf.
Louise wanted to say thank you for passing this video along to her. The interview was so funny. Love that for the sake of their marriage they limit her reading Louise to the month's of Dec and Jan ha!
This made us laugh, thank you!
Best wishes
Linda"
Love the videos! Hope this brings you a bit of joy :)
And Louise put a link to this video in her monthly newsletter, which is how I found it
Did Allison plan this whole video just to get public permission to read the new book out of season?
😎😎😎
Ok, guess I'm going to start reading Inspector Gamache
Allison is an inspector gamache influencer
We should do a JBU Inspector Gaumache book club
Have fun!!
As a French Canadian, thank you for respecting my culture with Inspector Gamache
And also Come from Away
If someone says "tata la teetoo" on a regular basis, they 100% say "hot diggity dog"
Gabe’s outfit is very Todd from Bojack horseman
I once performed the entire musical dreamgirls for my boyfriend with character voices etc. and, quite frankly, I ate
My favorite part of this video is Gabe unsuccessfully trying to hold in laughter during these stories. I can't. Thanks so much for your content, you make my life so much better!
In 2022 when I was admitted into the psych ward at Beth isreal hospital in Boston the only source of entertainment I was given was a donated copy of A rule against murder. It was a great comfort so Allison I completely understand
John makes Allison sound like a cartoon character. I love it
Last summer I visited the town that inspired three pines with my family and the entire time I was thinking about how Allison would lose her mind. It’s a very charming anglophone enclave in the Eastern Townships, 8.7/10 would recommend
Also, HUGE day for Canada!
OMG the dream!!
John does a great Allison impression
I love both your character arcs. Gabe, your transition was wonderful and suits you so well (not that I have any right to judge that anyway). You somehow feel at peace and you honestly make me feel more relaxed while watching you.
Allison, I don’t want to pretend like your broken engagement was a good thing, but it has been lovely watching you add many more layers to your already beautiful personality since then.

Mr. Gabe’s Dad’s obsession with Come From Away is supremely relatable
This is a particularly great episode 😂 I'd never even heard of Inspector Gamache!
His impression of Allison is perfect 😂
okay but Come From Away is SO good, Gabe's dad is 100% correct to never shut up about it
My mom brought up the Inspector Gamache books the other day! She also loves them. Also I deeply relate to Gabe’s dad only talking abt Come From Away, that is how I acted after watching that musical
John’s wiki feet rating just skyrocketed lol 😂😂😂
I've heard tell of Allison's love for Inspector Gamache on the podcast and I totally get it as a fellow cozy mystery lover, and yes, it's on my list of series to try! It's so funny to hear John's perspective, and definitely makes me reflect on my own relationships 😂
I hear Inspector Gamache is just a really, really good man
As an autistic woman myself, I agree with Gabe, are we REALLY sure Allison is not autistic? I’ve been watching you guys since buzzfeed and I have thought that for a while but in this episode it really shines through lmao
Yo I think this husband is a little jealous of inspector gamache
Lol why isn't Allison reading this on TH-cam! Imagine the views it would get!!
i’m obsessed with allison’s obsession with louise penny bc my boomer mother is a huge louise penny fan girl & that’s the only reason i know anything abt these books prior to allison coming out as a louise penny stan 😂
"hot diggity dog!"
Allison is not real lol
Congrats, Allison, you’ve totally convinced me to read Louise Penny. I can’t wait to torture my boyfriend with this lol
Yes Gabe! THAT'S WHY I summarize the plot of the books I'm reading to my husband, because I love him!
Absolutely do not let Alison at the murder mystery vampire knitting circle book series, it’s so shit and so cozy and engaging at the same time, I still dream about it regularly, and have bored my carer to tears going on about it
i had no idea these books existed but i think i need to read every single one now
Long time fan but i haven't seen JBU on my feed in a few years so this is my first video in awhile, and yeah there are changes, but I don't think I'm surprised by them. The "tv show arc" is flowing nicely ;)
Also of course Allison got married. Congrats!❤🎉 I'm so happy for both of you.
Chief Inspector Gamache IS such a nice man!!! I can't stop reading, I love all of the characters sooo much😊😊😊
I might try one of the Gamache books
From Newfoundland! Took me by surprise when you started talking about Come From Away
fun vid!
i miss when I had a fandom that was taking over my life
John and Allison are a hoot together. Of course Gabe as well! Just a silly goofy time.
I agree that Cusk's Outline is magnificent!!!
this might be my fave jbu video
I love how even after 75 years the music over the title card is still too quiet.
Maybe the solution here is: Allison keeps reading her books as much as she wants BUT- agrees to be more cognizant and give space to John to also talk a about his day and ground outside of the books? Idk lol but I hope they find sum nice balance where they are both happy ❤❤
i don't really like reading mysteries much myself but i do enjoy the plot breakdowns my mom will give me of the mysteries she reads. basically a little personal podcast!
Lost it at “this is the plot of Misery” 😂
"I read it on an evil device" 😭😭😭
I was 100% on John's side until Allison brought up Three Pines and I realised I know who Inspector Gamache is. He is the nicest human in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know Three Pines was based on a book series. I'm stopping the episode to go read them. I've lost interest in the discussion because all I want to do is talk about Inspector Gamache. Allison's obsession is 100% justified. Gamache is the BEST!
🤣🤣🤣 this is amazing
🤣🤣🤣 this is amazing
so much canadian representation in this video we love it
This is one of my comfort videos for a good cathartic laugh-cry. "I keep hearing about this son.." 😂
Another one is coming at the end of October so I foree a Three Pines holiday season. Thanks for the content!
Love Gamache! I’m with you, Allison
Glad to know I'm not the only one with parents who were absolutely obsessed with Come From Away.
It’s not a mystery but I’d say my cozy equivalent if Allison would like to expand her repertoire is Jenny Colgan’s “bookshop” novels. They seem very twee but they’re really not.
I'm so delighted, I thought I just wouldn't be able to hear your lovely voices ever again because I can't afford to sub to the podcast but HERE YOU ARE!! With your beautiful faces FOR FREE
Our Monday podcast is also free!!
What I’m taking from this is that I need to read these books
Based on her praise of Inspector Gamache, I bet Allison would like Detective Perez from the show Shetland (who is also a lovely man)
John's feet...for FREE!?
This convinced me to read these books lol. Also i have always thought allison could be autistic hahaha
Petition for Allison to get to read these books year round, Gamache sounds like a cool guy
I'm with John, Rachel Cusk is incredible! Describing the plot of literary fiction makes the books sound so boring, often the books I read can be described as "a sad woman goes about her life"
So often great books are not heavily plot driven but are more about the characters and their thoughts and feelings. I'd even go as far to say most great literature is..
Ok more book talk please
Allison is Sugar's evil twin
10 minutes and 30 seconds into a 11 minute and 24 second video to realize John’s just got his dogs out on display. Phantom and his bare feet. I looked down once and now I just gotta say I think Allison should be allowed to read those books all year long.
Ok, I've been doing this to my partner with the new Brit & Zal drama. 😅
I get this way when I watch Hercule Poirot
We've been watching the tv series, with Alfred Molina as Gamache. There's not a lot of episodes--it's a mini-series--but it's really good!
I imagine this is how my husband feels about me telling him about the Untamed 😅
Also I laughed so fucking hard through this whole video! Please have more funny marital problems 😂
They are great books and very immersive!!!
John put those tootsies away
Johns going to be on wiki feet now
Kitty Confidential has 4/5 stars on good reads so people think it’s above average/good.
i love the implications of the highbrow/lowbrow comment😂
Oh Haunting on the Hill House is sooo good! Favorite show on Netflix!! Enjoy the book :)
Ok to be fair come from away is amazing.
this microphone situation is not great but love the video!
How much gore is there in those Books?? Just to know if its for me or not 😂
Stop limiting Allison! All Gamache, all year long. Girl - if you need to come to SoCal to read, let me know. And, I LOVE "Come From Away" too! You guys are great. Xo
INSPECTOR GAMACHE
The new one is coming October 29th!
john’s showing us his feet for free ?!
what is the tv series john is envolved in?
So what do you think of the show Three Pines which is based on the books?
A LGBTQ+ person watching heteronormativity is hilarious. Let her be!!!! Let her books be!!! Let her be obsessed!! Let her express her love like that. Idk - I agree with Gabe’s face.
How long did John and Allison date before getting engaged? ❤
Ok but has Allison seen the series?
Shout out if you were here when Allison died.
Hilarious and sweet
Omg I do this too. 😂😂😂
What on earth are you even talking about
Fun, thanks, but if you're going to hold microphones bring them close to the mouth. ("Bad sound makes good video look bad.")
