Essence D.D.

We saw Ray!!!!!

Essence D.D.

The time it took to spell accumulation is crazy 😅

Essence D.D.

America is an accumulation of everything around us. Which doesn't make sense with our government but food is great 🤗

Essence D.D.

I appreciate James letting us understand where his crazy comes from. We all have our moments but context helps us all understand each other as people getting through 💕

Words that describe how you did the verb is an adverb. Most, if not all, words that end in -ly will be an adverb. Quickly, quietly, slowly. An adjective describes a noun. Red car, blue hat, big house.

If y’all don’t like it then leave. Literally unsubscribe. It’s not an airport, you don’t need to announce your departure. ✈️

Salicylic acid is a chemical exfoliator. A scrub is a manual exfoliator. So yes, you can’t exfoliate then apply another exfoliant. It will tear up your skin you can get chemical burns. You have to use one or the other. The “cream” that dries and then peels off is a peel off mask.

Ricardo

To say “Soul food” isn’t a cuisine demonstrates how little these two understand the Black American story and plight.

Sigurður Pétur

James NGL man ranting about who's the better athlete makes you the worse athlete. I'll put this into context you'll understand: Michael Jordan has never said that he is the GOAT but LeBron has said: I am the greatest player of all time. MJ made his playing, athleticism and titles do the talking and that's why he's the GOAT

Nikki

Y'all need to spend some time reading about the Black American experience, cuz the way y'all speaking? Wild. 🤣

Nikki

I'm GASSED!! I got 4 out of 5 and Nairobi was one of them!!! 😁😁 Adverbs are modifiers providing context to how, when, where, to what extent an action or quality exists. They usually end in "ly" #TheMoreYouKnow ☺️

Marcio Saldanha

Naa these back to schools got me worried. I feel like these guys are lowkey MAD STUPID😂😂

Zalhaty Abasi

being from Glasgow and hearing abt the deep fried Mars bar 🥳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Diamond

Yea as much as I giggle at watching James throw a tantrum REM has to hold the L on that whole Pilates situation 😂

Patricia S

y'all complaining about James on his own platform as if y'all can't SKIP through the video??? weird.

Angel Devyne

“In life, people emulate the end result, not the process.” Jay Z….

Liz Beth

This episode really made me like Rem so much more. His patience is top tier.

Rae Rae

soul food originates in slavery, to understand American is to learn Black American history 🤷🏿‍♀️

Dizzy Dizz

I could've done without the first 25 minutes no lie. Week after week this is getting less and less worth the p. 😂 The free eps are way better

Alannah Mikals

It would be great, so really amazing, if almost half the ep wasn’t watching a horse being beaten. 5-10min: alright. 10-15min: maybe if it was entertaining. But almost 30min: seriously??? At least cut it down in editing. Im not saying James is wrong or isn’t in the right, I even agree with him on points, but as a consumer I’d rather a shorter episode than this. Just let it go and move on.

Christie McCall

Not gonna lie, digging Ray

Sam Wood

This ep was painful •James’ rant went on far too long, FAR TOO LONG •Ray not knowing what a vindaloo was

Jada Samone

kinda got a thing for ray 😅❤️

Brandi E

James is EXHAUSTING!!!!! omg

Navin Suresh Cordano

james is jarring men

milabby

Idk how they allowed that to go on for 20 minutes

Ras Capo

As a Jamaican living in NY I can say soul food is definitely its own category and American it taste very diff from Caribbean food and it also SLAPS

Davinia

1. This sounds like a conversation James needs to have with his therapist. Rem’s better than me for entertaining this! 2. Once I heard Ray say “Bloodclart’ & “rahtid” I welcomed him in. He clearly had black friends!!

Dwysan Williams

Can we do a GoFundMe for James to have therapy? Then we won't have to pay to listen to 22mins of this ever again and everyone will feel better, win win? 🥹

J.

I was in Canada last month (not America, I know!) and tried trail mix for the first time with little m&ms in it... I said ooooh la la lol

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

LOL, 500 comments later and all we needed to do was pay attention 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Alexis Roberts

Seafood boils are delicious😭. Don’t knock it til you try it!

Noriah

Soul food is definitely BLACK American food

Joshua Moore

People on James about his rant, calling a narcissist, didn't pay attention. He literally said that it didn't even matter and that he admitted he was over reacting

Elelwani

JAMES HAS MAIN CHARACTER SYNDROM ITS JARRING TBH

Raju Senthilkumar

Fuhad pronounced conscientious right, why are the producers gaslighting him? 😂

Sam.Houle

"You men don't explore your bodies at all" I died

Alexi

#BBE😂😂😂😂

Tailor Gillyard

Y’all crazy thinking seafood boils aren’t good… you get your eggs and potatoes and corn with the right sauce 🤤🤤🤤

Jahson

James PLEASE read rage of dragons by Evan winters you’d love it

Hazina

strange thing to say colonized and completely forget Indigenous Native Americans

Demi

Oh James, I have second hand embarrassment 🤦🏼‍♀️ let's take some advice from Mr Lamar shall we? The narcissism really be peaking out.

craig

Hearing British people say America doesn't have cultured food when the national dish is chicken Tikka masala 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chocolatecreole_

Raaaaaay Needs To Never Hide Behind The Camera Again 👀😮‍💨💕

Santana 🦋

Seafood boils slap!

Cha P.

Im convinced Rem loves to rile James up!!!!

Coach Carter

Americans got chilli dogs

abesin oluwadamilare

I don’t care what anyone says but that I am better than you to your best friend of 10+ years was pathetic. Let’s be honest he was trying too hard to flex on his friend that he was better, not banter but I am truly better than you. REM is a better man than I am because I would look at my friend sideways after that

hamisi guzo

If you dont get the Capital of Kenya we all leaving patreon. Someone upload the episodes on piratebay

Emily

No babe, James was being a full on narcissist whiny cry baby this episode. The man is over 30 and is still talking about a plaque he got almost 20 YEARS ago in high school, and comparing himself now to that title. It’s embarrassing for him at this age and it really shows how immature he is.

Scarlitto

I made a similar dish but Mediterranean style in a blender some olive oil Dijon mustard oregano garlic cloves onion put the thighs bone in in a zip lock with the sauce over night in the morning in a baking dish cut up some potatoes and put the chicken on top with all the sauce and bake came out fire 🔥

Scarlitto

I just came to say the same shit cuz a seafood boil bayyyyybeeeee it slaps!

Ashley Parks

Y’all have to be ffr with the James hate. This is the James we know and love. This is the dynamic of the podcast. Fuhad is cool, calm and collected. James is animated, opinionated and dramatic. In all things. You can’t love it sometimes and hate it others. James is also honest and vulnerable and those are the moments you get on him the most. Do you want him to learn and grow or do you him to shut up and perform? Like Fuhad said, this whole conversation was literal growth in real time. But at the end of the day this is the dynamic we know and love. If it was everyone being the same way as James or the same as Fuhad, or instigating like Rem (a whole other thing we love to see) then the show wouldn’t be a success. They play off each other and it works. You’re mad it’s this way but you’d be raising hell if it changed. Make up your mind! Also, America is a country of immigrates and slaves so American food is the best of those cultures. True American food would be indigenous foods. Anywho…lllggg

Jube

This ep was cringe af. You're 30 plus bro, it's not that serious

Jube

YESSS

B3thbakes

Im with Ray on the Marmite! ❤️❤️❤️

B3thbakes

Rays laugh.. reminds me of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.. No hate.. Just an observation

Kiana

Hearing them talk about the seafood boil is heartbreaking 😂

B3thbakes

Ray on camera for the first time ive seen i believe.. 👋👋👋

Kiana

James we love you and it’s a safe space but PLEASE go to therapy 😂. You keep taking out your insecurities on your friends and we deserve better content!

Diamond

REM saying the Pilates instructors opinion of James being better doesn’t count was crazy

S. C

Considering it wasn't their ancestors that did the colonising. Like they're new British. I don't think they count. Like I come from a country they colonised but I don't blame these guys cause their family didn't do shit. So I don't think it counts.

S. C

Why are people only picking on james. I get he's usually the reactive one but rem is also behaving petty about the situation. Theyre as bad as each other. I dont think either are right. Theyre both good at their own things and are to competative. But people in the comments soley picking on james is uncalled for. Rem loved this conversation as much as anyone. And people keep saying " this isn't the content we came to see". They're talking about things that happened on the show. This is a safe space if they wanna argue and fix it on the show let them. We're getting more content from this conversation anyway. And they joke about it after.

Lawrence Turner

LMAOOO

craig

James talking about his HIGH SCHOOL PLAQUE at 34 is sad. Sounds like he's living in the past. Its regret. He puts on a facade but then shows vulnerability about his insecurities but it gets to a point

craig

This segment was so boring and embarrassing to watch. James ego is so insecure needing to be considered the best at things. Even cooking. The mentality is gross

wavo

the whole argument that ‘american food/cuisine’ doesn’t exist irks me and I’m not even american lol just a food/history fan. So many foods that are considered ‘national foods’ have influence from other cultures so why is the line drawn at american food? Al pastor tacos, inarguably a mexican staple, was influenced by the lebanese settlers making shawarmas there. Will anyone argue that al pastor tacos are lebanese? no cus you’d sound stupid lol

Chloè 🧡

James is fire as fuck until he loses. Then he becomes a bigger bitch than me 🤦🏼‍♀️

Haley Mc

From your Louisiana girl: all American food is adapted from every country that has settled here. Louisiana food is a combination of Spanish, African, French, and Vietnamese. I think, at least from Louisiana, American food is the way all of the foods come together.

Andrea Maeda

Frybread Tacos are my favorite American food. From the indigenous people of America 👏🏽

Alexis Portillo

PLS 😭😭😭 looking for my comment to delete it 😂😂😂

Cece

First seafood boils are LIT. But the dumping on the table thing I’m not down for that’s savage. Lol. As far as American food honestly there’s not really “American Food”. The best thing about American food is depending on where you are, specifically in a city like I am you can go around any corner and get literally any cultures food you want to eat it’s amazing.

Brogan Coster

I wanna know the onion potato where to find please

KiyaEloise

James’ therapist needs firing because why was this necessary to bring to us and not them? I don’t get paid to hear this 😂 I want to hear jokes and banter

Ineeke Mcdonald

American soul food is unmatched.

Ashley Cherrelle

Also, you guys should probably taste a seafood boil. And you’re right, we put shrimp, crab legs, potatoes 🥔, prawns and yes, corn! It’s covered with a savory spicy Cajun seafood kinda broth and you eat everything individually. The broth mixed with the corn is top tier, the corn is actually my favorite. This derived from African Americans in Louisiana, another southern state. The further south you go ,the fresher the seafood is, obviously since we’re by water.

Ashley Cherrelle

Also, you guys are right. American food is a melting pot of different cultures. I’m from the South (Mississippi to be exact) and this is where ‘soul food’ derives from. Anywhere you go in the US and you see people selling soul food, they’ve taken a piece of the south to their state. It’s actually what we’re known best for. Fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, Mac and cheese sweet potato pie 🥧, chitterlings (don’t knock it until you try it 😆). It’s Mostly made well by African Americans but other cultures try to dabble 😏.

Jenice Brown

As someone who had all honors and AP English classes, James and Rem trying to figure out why “quickly” is an adverb has boiled my blood 😂

Lonnie Rae Baker

I love how everyone’s complaining about not liking james’ rant segment like it’s not going to spawn another rant segment lol

gregory davis

No song or real question of the week just games complaining

Ashley Cherrelle

I understand James. I played college basketball and now I’m a manager at a finance business. It’s just the beginning stages of us getting older. Life goes on and that’s the hard truth for all of us athletes.

Sara Doumani

Fuhad has zero opinion, what James says fuhad nods and says yes…this episode was so triggering and abusive

Sara Doumani

The narcissistic character that this grown ass man carries around and bullies ppl into agreeing with him is concerning.

Ja’Nyia Lacy

no sea food boil hate will be tolerated!!!!!!

IsleChile

Saying "Le Coq Sportif" makes me laugh every time they say it. The translation is nothing like how they use it, but I get it. I also do not believe this will be the last and final rant about being the best at everything. James must win at all times. Whew. Indigenous food is the truest form of "American" food. Barbecue is actually indigeous to the Taino in the Caribbean. Listen to meeeeeee when he asked that tomato question I and Ray said what he said, I said to myself, Where the hell is Ellis??! He don't know what the hell is going on here. LoL! Joookes!

Ja’Nyia Lacy

watch the last patron vid

Daniel Aburrow

I don’t get how James can say he’s serious about growing the podcast, then spend 20 minutes airing his insecurities about athleticism. From an audience engagement perspective, there needs to be more self-awareness around the content choices. Who was that segment really for? It felt like a wasted episode with little value for listeners.

Tayla

Most of this ep could have been an email tbh

Winnie McDonald-Agu

Mind you, I love SNG down but I feel like James needs to be so for real & Fuhad needs to have his own mind & stop doing follow follow. Gets on my damn nerves sometimes 😂

Shivon Smith

Official Amercian food ( that we created not just famous for or improved i.e. burgers) 1. Pumpkin pie (pie existed but we're the first to put pumpkins) 2. Succotash 3. New Englan Clam Chowder 4. Buffalo wings (shout out to NY) 5. Corn dogs (Texas) 6. Chocolate Chip Cookies ( thanks Massachusetts) 7. Peach Cobbler 8. S'mores 9. Brownies 10. Trail Mix 11. Ruben sandwich (NY) 12. Sloppy Joe 13. Trail Mix 14. Cobb Salad 15. Chilli (Texas) 16. Grits 17. Cornbread 18. Root beer 19. Pecan pie

Shanae Mckinney

Its soooo funny to hear British ppl say "THEY colonized" as if it wasnt great Britain itself who tried to colonize EVERYBODY 😂😂😂

Shanae Mckinney

Uhm american here...we dont like "cock" (or any version of it) either. Its gross lol

Ashley Garcia

Rem could do better at this than James and James will make excuses regardless. “I slept like shiiiiit last night” “I wasn’t ready”

Bianco Mobley II

😂😂 they have no idea what they missing with seafood boil and soul food

Vincent Mccoy

Mac and cheese

DeAsha Napier

Nashville hot chicken and Tex mex we have 👍

Joanna

Adjective is a describing word. Adverb describes the verb. Just FYI Verb is a doing word.

Tylan Effenberg

Can someone tell me why Ellis has pulled back?

Joanna

I feel for rem in this one. Literally just listing things he thinks he’s better than him at. It’s a bit mad as friends x

Chelsie Hare

Sea food boil is banging , I never thought I liked sea food boil but me and my partner had one 100% again !!!!

Misha

please consider the intended audience of your content, especially when it comes to patreon episodes that we pay for. If the athleticism discussion really had to occur, keep it offline… because who was this for? I’m surprised this made the final edit. a real hard watch. normally the arguments have an element of humour or entertainment, but this was just embarrassing and boring.

Krissy Hollingsworth

L3 G3 🫶🏾

Xan the Dezigner

Full English breakfast. Yuck

Xan the Dezigner

Yall TRIPPIN bout seafood boil. It’s too too fye

Ann M K

James! Please stop..who is this for!!

Luis King

Fuhad about to burst a blood vessel laughing 😂😂

Apocalipstixk

this is an accurate take. I also agree that James is a hard worker vs Rem who is a natural athlete

Apocalipstixk

James doesn't realise that he bullies (intentionally or not) the people he calls his friends into submission. Like the whole SNG Reacts episode when Rem asked what Portuguese chorizo is made up of and James threw an incredible tantrum because he didn't want to get tricked by a 'trick question'. And Fuhad had to say 'i see your point'. This is worse. It also appeared to me that James inadvertently bullied the Pilates instructor to pick him as the best just because he was being such a pick-me at the end. Treat your friends better. Just because they tolerate you doesn't mean you can be a brat.

Luis King

Run the combine den, I tired of the back and forth. Show us what ya’ll got loll

Ericka Elmore

4/5

Ericka Elmore

Everytime it's a long episode, I'm super excited but get punked. 😐 It's long because of a segment that I don't care to watch Today's segment I hated to watch was ~20mins long

Alyssa Graziano

Boys, what dialect are your accents?

SB

This ain’t it, bro.

Charlotte York

Battered mars bars are banging I agree 🫶

Taisha Husbands

I am glad I’m not the only one who thought that segment was uncomfortable to watch..

Dani Myrie

Respectfully, can we please drop this whole topic of conversation?! It’s getting repetitive and low-key embarrassing at this point. James I love you but you’re an absolute sore loser😭😭😭

Ashley Stewart

I got 3/5

Ashley Stewart

Okay Ray 😍

Jasmine Day

Love the pod, but this was hard to watch. Hope changes are made behind the scenes ♥️

Jen 💙

Its not just Mars bars we deep fry, a deep fried galaxy is top tier. Chippy close to me will batter any chocolate bar for you. Unreal

Aaron

At this point I just forward past James arguments. They’re so exhausting and not funny anymore. Let’s also be real if rem said solar and James got the question wrong he would’ve fought tooth and nail claiming solar wasn’t the same thing as sun 🙄

Alana Pitt

James...you need to stop..therapy please.

Monica Torres

That segment was hard to watch..

Lisa

James is salttyyyyy Also, as a half Scottish person, you’re welcome for the deep fried mars bar 😉

Mauricesa

Love James, but its probably so exhausting being friends with him sometimes. I'd only have a handful of times having this type of conversation before he'd really get his feeling hurt.

Alexis Portillo

I need you to do these breakdowns for every BTS 😂 this was helpful 😊

Ericka Elmore

That was wild

Alexis Portillo

This argument was so weird and embarrassing 😭

Ericka Elmore

*sigh* Remember last when when everyone 'said' they were going to go to therapy? Let's run it back cuz......some need it more than others 🤦🏾‍♀️ It's exhausting To MAKE Fuhad go back and change his mind is crazy. At the time he felt how he felt. Geesh! And if we're gonna vote, I think Rem's the better athlete as well based upon several things that have already been stated. This heavily reminds me of how certain groups of ppl can't handle knowing others are simply just better than them at some things. It's butters for real

Lona

??? The wierdest statement

Kimberley Morrow

Ellis would have won. No tie breaker question needed.

Marissa Hilliman

Tbh, I low key understand where James is coming from with the whole athleticism thing but I do think that Rem is more athletic because, from what I have seen, especially during the snatched period, a lot of the new things that they were trying seemed like it was coming easily to Rem than James and Fuhad. That is why we all think that Rem is more athletic. It is not about how much sports you beat him at. It is about when they all try something thing new, it most of times seems like Rem catches on to it easier and quicker than James and Fuhad. And that is fine.

Ericka Elmore

Fuhad 's looking like a snack. I see it 🧐 C'mon snatched in 60! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Robin Johnson

You watch your dirty whore mouth when you talk about a seafood boil! 😡

Toya Lee

Americans don't have food. They have colonized everything.

Darrel Oates

James is definitely not the best athlete. 😂 availability is the best availability.

tom oyugi

Lol I got first 4/5 (lol spelling) questions, I was a bio/finance years ago and missed the first tie breaker lmao but the second one was obvious idk how the other two missed it

jordan mackay

I ended up skipping through most of it, such an odd discussion 💀

Lizzie B

James should really try to get to the core of why he needs so much external validation. It's wierd that his self worth is so easily triggered. It just gives emotional immaturity and quite an unattractive trait.

Madi

This is when we need Ellis to sigh and tell them “these games are tearing us apart”

Madi

Made a list 😭😂 let it go

Ciaran

james’ stubbornness definitely showed in this ep and yes it was hard to watch, but everyone attacking him for it isnt gonna help anything, i think we forget we are watching a group of friends talking, they dont owe us the specific entertainment we crave

Fentyfab

I think we should get James vs Rems: SNG Total Wipe episode. 👀 whoever win is crowned SNG Athlete of the Year 🏆 But James yapping his way into making his mates changing their opinion however I understand him given the fact he studied sports and was a PT. Somewhat justified but this shouldn’t be a habit lol

David COOPER

Fuhad was right with conscientious pronunciation it's con-shee-en-shus

Ivan

It’s people like you that keep James up at night. You being more childish than him at this point 😭😭 what a pointless comment

Lynchy

Both lol

Amy Willard

Rem seems like such a genuine guy, I like how he comes across as a friend 😊

skylah Bevilacqua

agreed the drama whilst stretching was a shock

Taryn

At first it was quirky or funny for James to be so stubborn about winning. But it seems to have gotten quite out of hand. Like when Fuhad beat him at decodables and he refused to keep playing. Or he fights anyone else’s answers. The point of the podcast is to funny and light hearted. But this episode was so confrontational that it was hard to watch. That whole thing should have been a conversation off camera. No one needed to see that. And it didn’t do James any favors.

Taryn

To clarify for Rem and Fuhad - the placement of the order of a word doesn’t make it an adverb or adjective. An adverb describes a verb (action; in this case “closed”). An adjective describes a noun (a person, place, or thing; in this case a descriptor of the door or girl would have been an adjective).

Deven Wardlaw

James would argue who’s the best at going to therapy 🤦🏾‍♂️. Bro needs help!

Amber

I love this podcast. But James never accepting whether someone is better at something than him or losing is starting to getting really annoying. He’s starting to sound like a giant piss baby. Just accept that Rem is better. Because he is. And move on. What happened to James saying he was going to work on letting it go when he doesn’t win something.

Stephanie Powell

I'm getting second hand shame for James. This is pathetic and embarrassing. 10 mins arguing that he's the best athletes?.... what a waste of the show. This is some deep insecurity and it's ugly to see.

Stephanie Powell

Rem.

Stephanie Powell

Rem is the better athlete. End of.

Christina Fonseca

James’ constant need to be better than everyone at everything, and the way he gets toxic and obsessive when he isn’t, is exhausting. It’s honestly unpleasant sitting through the tantrums every time someone else might be better at something or beats him in a game. He really should seek therapy for whatever trauma he has, because this drags the whole vibe down.

Ryan Grant

I feel like the closest thing that America will have to it’s own food is soul food. Bc obviously there’s heavy heavy influence from Africa and the Caribbean, but the foods and ingredients that black people were allowed to have shaped the current soul food we have today into something almost entirely its own especially with it’s more unique dishes like chitlins.

K

Not saying either one is more athletic but basing athleticism off of “I beat u in this x amount of times” isn’t the best metric for these things. I guess u could say it’s probably the only objective way of looking at it but it ignores way too many nuances and variables. Lebron James is 1-3 in the finals against Steph Curry, doesn’t make Steph a better player or finals player than him.

Joshua Murekezi

Tbf to Ray fossil fuels are the most used energy source on the planet. The question was very vague

Erin

I will not take the James slander 🥲

Liz

These guys are missing out on seafood boils, I’m sorry, y’all have to try it when you come back to America.

Mark Munoz

Nah ray's face at 1:03:00 when they are talking about the shower incident had me rolling bro! 🤣🤣🤣

Creepzilla

American born here and nothing. American is a melting pot and even the food that’s started here like soil food isn’t from here. America doesn’t have its own food like Chinese or Indian foot (correct me if I’m politically wrong) . I am British as well by blood and even my mum isn’t a fan of British food lol not too much i grew up on. She made bubble and squeak, shepherds pie, Sunday roast and English breakfast. Those are our favorite and fish and chips ! ! I think what America does have that’s their food is fast food lol

B✨✨✨

Terrific as always ! Continue to be yourselves ❤️

AA

Agreed, who is this for? It’s giving pick me…

murderbyfires

this is his like 3rd episode, but first physical appearance. they wanted to ease him in they said

Justyn Fitzgerald

The lost me when they said a seafood boil is nasty😭

Jordan Burnett

not too much on the seafood boil ✋🏾

Mia Khan

James needs to heal

Alexia Emziah

an adverb describes a verb. I hope that helps!

Alexia Emziah

An adjective describes a noun

jessss

FACTSSSS. Must be exhausting lol

Jay Richardson

Why don't you two just do a decathlon. That's even how they determine the world's best athlete in the Olympics

Nokwanda Mthembu

Thoughts and prayers to James’ mental health. A list is CRAZY work.

Maariyah

Right? Let the man speak his mind ffs!!

Maiya Henderson

so maybe I missed an ep (or even someones comment) but we aren't gonna talk about how this new guy is here assuming its Ray but no formal intro or nothing wtf

Alexas Pritchard

my moms said “this is why people want grandchildren so we’re never alone when our kids are grown” 😭😭😭

Teflon Sage

Rheem is a better athlete than James.

Marvel Malang

Food doesn’t slap. It smacks. Music slaps and food smacks.

Joy Adjei

That entire conversation was exhausting because why is it even happening to be completely honest if you disagree just disagree you basically forced someone to change their opinion and say you’re the better athlete😂😂

Jr

Damn knocking on a seafood boil is barbaric. That shit slaps! Seafood haters will always dislike but anyone who’s tried it end up loving it!

Annie

Serious feedback, this was so uncomfortable and icky. I start my day with you guys and usually im left up and happy - this has literally made me antsy and ragey like ive dealt with a karen. I think people are actually going to struggle to continue supporting you guys if james continues this being most of his contributions. It may not be obvious internally but its every. Episode. This isnt growth. This was really really uncomfortable to watch an adult be this way. Please let it be the last time James.... seriously. Please.

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Annie

Rem is how you try to stand up and say you're the best at something...with humility. James who fucking cares babe 😂

Maverick's Corner

I think it's more so not what the food is, but what we do with it and how we make it our "own." Like James said, this is a younger country, and we are a combination of a lot of different cultures. For example, folks ain't cooking fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, candied yams and collard greens like black ppl in the US. Y'all may got it, but you ain't making it like us! LOL

Annie

Fr he getting worse

Annie

Flash back to James injuring himself IMMEDIATELY in the athletics ep. This actually went too long guys got hard to watch 😂

Eric Neal

American food: Pecan Pie, Mac and cheese, apple pie, philly cheesecakes, new England clam chowder, chocolate chip cookies, barbeque

Sam Mountjoy

Fuhad is talking about Man U like a swifty talks about Tay Tay

GQ Vega

Rays face at 1:03:46 while James talks about being naked, with his batty turned to Rem as they shower, gives the “wtf am I doing here”. He misses Ellis too. 🤣

Laseon D

BBE!

Darius Williams

Rem was on point with the colonizers coment for sure.

Darius Williams

Such a great response. So well informed.

Esther

James has been saying for years that he’s working on being a sore loser and feeling the need to be best but he hasn’t worked on it.

Antonio savage

Beans on toast is good but a seafood boil is a no🤦🏽‍♂️

Adam Colon

Seafood boils are fire

Adam Colon

Call America colonizers is wild lmao

Afrika Mathis

Honestly the clips are how I found you guys

Inès Leca

it’s hard to define american food because it’s so varied but yes it’s essentially a remix of foods from other countries (tex mex is a good example, but so are things like pizza and burgers). i’d say apart from indigenous people’s foods, southern food is uniquely american food because it’s a result of slavery and slave trade which is a product of a very specific context and environment. btw corn is one of three crops (known as the Three Sisters) that is indigneous to the peoples of America so that might explain why corn is present in a lot of southern & indigenous dishes. (also james, in paella they mix seafood with sausages and sometimes corn too so it’s actually not that uncommon)

Kozah34

Only 17 minutes in and James makes me wanna run through a wall. Having watched all their episodes since their first, I’m not surprised by their success. They manifested some of the shit they have done. It only motivates me. I’m working on being successful enough to end up being in the pod🤣 Big up my fellow Kenyans as well 🇰🇪

Sam

Preservatives and sugar. That's American food. I hate it here lol

Des

James you don’t have to be the best at everything. Being good at one thing is cool too. Also who is this for

Nayeli Cupen

Not gonna lie not done with the ep but James sounds like a bad friend. Why is he so heated over a friend being better than him. Like is no one allowed to do better than him ?

Lucinda Veloz

Adjective: describes a noun Adverb: describes a verb

Maverick's Corner

Very motivational James! Needed to hear it.

Bradders

James argues like my Mrs 😅.. keeps going until everyone just agrees with him out of awkwardness 😂😂🙈

TBK

James hijack this entire episode… I was so excited to listen to Fuhad and the song of the week and what other games they would play and James literally just took over… his ego was super huge today and I’m usually here for it, but I don’t know it was just a little too much. Fuhad Skin was looking soooo amazing

Hayley Bennett

#BEB!!! We miss you Ellis

DeVaughn Burton

Ngl I’m over hearing James cry over shit like this move on man you’re like 35 complaining about who’s more athletic

Kurama Jones

Anyone else miss song of the week?

TJ

Athleticism: Coordination/fluidity in movement, dexterity, power, speed, and quickness, physical conditioning REM: coordination/fluidity, dexterity, quickness James: power, conditioning, and skill which is achieved through practice and perseverance. So to me rem is a more natural athlete, James is the harder worker and the better competitor because he always wants it more imo (Speed I think may be a push, or rem) It’s like the difference between being smart and intelligent.

Dija

every new hire is just more eye candy and I'd like to thank the boys for their service🙂‍↕️👏🏾

Deadstar_xxx

Also James gave major Mac from its always sunny energy in this ep lmao

Deadstar_xxx

This ray guy.....no words lol.

Grace Thompson

Exactly 😂 women are the emotional ones though, right?! 😂

Grace Thompson

This was… painful 😣 sort it out lads

Ezekiel Oyede

If anyone watches the NBA, dont Ray look like Sengun

Myriam

Everyone’s hating, I welcome you daddy Ray

Grace Thompson

My dad was born in Nairobi, so I knew that one 😂♥️

Alexandria Blackwood

Gigi B.

Davalin Jade

not ray a knock off jack harlow lol

Davalin Jade

Ray is alright but fuhad will forever be my heart.

els♡

James bro just shut up get back to the episode

Masedi Maleka

These gents are such a good example of a great mix of friends. For James to whine to Fuhad about being the better athlete than Rem then gets assurance from Rem that he is not pathetic for wanting to do that is actually a tearjerker 🫶🏾💛 and James is valid in that! Love you guys!

Kishan Gohil

LOL oh my

justine brown

I only want to see one white face and this one is not it😩

Kevin

Hamburger, ground beef, is from Hamburg Germany, but the hamburger sandwich is American. The story goes that they used to grill meatballs and one day some guy decided to smash them flat and put them in bread.

larry landin

Rem is the ultimate rage baiter. The its giving colonizer comment as a BRIT! I gasped!

Alexis Houze

Idk if anyone else does it but I'm a 2nd generation pit master. We smoke brisket as a staple. Smoking meat i think is American? But could be wrong.

Prophecy

Omg James 🤦🏾‍♂️

Justin Longhorn

stfu

Kagi

It’s your platform! Go OFF as much as you want 😂 I love to see it!

Cesar Gomez

I WOULD NOT COUNT SOLAR that’s bar for bar in every science textbook and it’s the sun through heat and sunlight so REM is just as right as James. REDO Next Thursday !

Ryan

Iont get why there’s so much animosity towards James here. My level of competitiveness isn’t anywhere near his, but i‘d also feel sum typa way if I was told that someone is more athletic than me if that claim is more so based on assumption (couldn’t find a better way to phrase it) Yes Rem has some arguments for his claim but so does James so I get why he wont just let that claim go without having a say in it.

Rhonda

James spent the entire episode measuring himself against Rem. Dude, isn't that supposed to be your friend? This was painful to watch. The competitiveness here isn't healthy—it's straight-up toxic. Getting this worked up over your friend's success? That's not competition, that's insecurity.

Rhonda

Absolutely bonkers ngl

Rhonda

James is 100% threatened by Rem.. because????

MillieMangolicious

Usa has tex mex which tastes completely different tho similar and absolutely delicious

MillieMangolicious

I'm loving James on this episode. Hope he keeps the energy.

AJ

S'mores 🤣🤣🤣

Cesar Gomez

Now LOCK IN START HYPING UP EPISODE 600 what are y’all going to do ? Do a give away if you get to a certain amount of subscribers ? Idk…. TURN UP do something !

SaqlainM

i miss Ellis😂 i’m sorry Ray lol

Jocelyn Howard

Well I feel no need to blab on about the athleticism convo cuz the comments mostly summed my thoughts 😂 but I will just say... good thing this was on a patreon ep... cuz OH Boy! 🤦🏾‍♀️smdh

Marbdo

Most energy comes from the sun. Solar energy from solar panels is obvious. Wind energy comes from the earth being heated unevenly by the sun leading to wind. Hydro energy comes from the sun evaporating water and raining it in dams. Fossil fuels are just ancient plants that have been turned into oil and coal after millions of years, plant obviously getting energy from the sun. The only one that doesn’t fit neatly is nuclear and geothermal energy. Also conscientious is pronounced with the sh sound not the s sound

Raeann J

The athlete issue is a drag man let it gooo

Makayla Levy

Facts he’s shouldn’t feel so insecure buts it good to get it out. And a reality most can relate to. Just feeling like you peaked and no one sees that you’re still good

Makayla Levy

And you’re bored

Makayla Levy

Crazy that there’s a movie called “HIM” coming out. Goes to shows the psychological aspects of competing

Riki Rae

I don’t know if I could be best friends with someone who is as threatened by me as James is by Rem. And they wanna talk about the pettiness of female friendships. We just spent 20 minutes over WHAT exactly?

Riki Rae

James has literally become *that* old guy mourning his glory days. Babe, we still love you, it’s okay! But it’s over. For the love of this podcast, let it go 😭

Joy Adjei

Also guys, y’all are trying to tell me you couldn’t get Nairobi?! Pls.. 😂 I love every single one of you, but I can’t keep defending you guys anymore

Joy Adjei

Who else skipped the football chat?😶

Olivia Yuhashi

I started watching this pod because it was entertaining and a great way to step away from the harsh realities of every day life. I stay because of the growth of these guys. So many conversations that bring healing and understanding to the entire team allow me to have conversations with men in my life about things men are normally closed off about. Thank you!

Tanisha Arce

I love your podcast James & fuhad I religiously watch episodes every week. But James what was the need to prove that you are the better athlete. Isn’t he your best friend for over ten years there was no need to show off and be petty to make a list.

Esther Sales

I was agreeing with what everyone was saying about James letting that go, etc, but then when we reached the end of the conversation and he explained why it bothered him so much, I got it. Of course, it's not great that he feels this way. Still, all of us have these "dysfunctional" parts of us that just get brought out when something happens that reminds us of some kind of discomfort or dissatisfaction. When you do a more organic type of content, it is only natural that things like these will come up. Obviously, I hope James works on that, as I would hope for anyone else, and I'm sure he does too, but I don't think any of us have the authority or the right to judge this. I actually appreciate seeing this level of spontaneity; it's refreshing.

Nanii Kiahnce

James you pulled your hamstring just by running in that short distance race… it’s ok if you don’t have the most athleticism. They never said you weren’t athletic. You don’t need to compare yourself to another man

troy stanton

Bro, who cares

Steph

Jamessss with the motivation in the beginning 👏🏽👏🏽 I reached that pivot from just working to working hard just recently and I see the difference! When you want it for real, you put in realll work

Destinee W.

Also, rays knew name because he is new to the group... Sweet Baby Ray🤣🤣

Steph

Rem can’t talk forreal but that nigga can spell fasho

Destinee W.

Soul food came from the enslaved people of Africa who had to make the best of what they had, just and fyi. Also, yall slandering a seafood boil!? Yall lucky I love yall🤣🤣 cuz i LOVE seafood and love a good boil lol

DAAKSYD tv

Are we all just skipping over James motivation speaking in the beginning?? That whole was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but yall just love that toxic petty argument shit huh.

MrChai22

Jaaames, brudda.. Rem's more agile. This is what I feel they're all referring to 🤷🏽‍♂️... That "Pathetic" talk needs to tossed though.. We all love you, bruh

Neil Mandimika

I love how James actually knows he’s rich and famous and nobody cares if he’s athletic or not. Amazing growth

Oriana Sierra

Seafood boil slander is crazy 😭😭😭

aaliyah Fuamatu

Can you please stop ignoring that we’re waiting for daddy fantasy!! You even out in there you’ve read BOOKS!!! And no daddy fantasy….

Andi

Hey fellas put the egos aside and made a podcast for us next week 😘

Rita

I do want to commend Rem for being so cool headed and open to hard conversations. He doesn't get as defensive and comes back with level headed points in a calm voice. It's nice seeing a man being able to control his emotions and have a constructive argument instead of a tantrum or shouting match. It's a big turn on. Next I just wanna say... this is their podcast. I understand we pay but we pay to support them as a whole and 99% of the videos they put out are 🔥. James is human and needs to learn just like we do. Makes mistakes just like we do. I'm sure he didn't feel good that this topic stressed him out for so long. But yeah... constructive criticism for the guys... this was purely to feed James' ego and nothing at all about putting out good content to your supporters. It should have been a private conversation, but I understand James wanted Fuhad to change his mind for all of us to hear. It's not that deep and it's enabling this behavior instead of evolving it. It was hard to move on from that sour negative turn that took to then go right back to joking and laughing... Despite all that. Love you guys and look forward to next week's pod.

James Pitstock

Ep was going amazing but can we please let this go, it’s giving so much toxicity (coming from a very competitive guy in a competitive friend group) I hated this second half of the episode

Joel Goodlow

Love ray but where’s Ellis

Neil Mandimika

REM😭why lose your lead. We had him😂😂.

Audrianna Smith

Just a FYI, don't ask google or AI about anything to do with Black America, the government is literally trying to erase black history in every way possible. However, my girl Destaney below expounded upon Soul Food for you all to know. Happy Reading.

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

FACTS! Fuhad busy chatting shit about James’s growth and REM taking the high road🤣🤣🤣. They deserve gold medals for being such amazing friends

Tan

😂thing that I love about Fuhad is this man’s opinion is his opinion once he says it. Like no apology.. just this is how I feel and it’s my opinion. I rate it.

Darlington Igwe

The Alex iwobi thing would have sent me over the line

Audrianna Smith

You saved me a post because I was definitely going to expound on soul food and the unfortunate history behind it.

Raïssa

Oh my gosh, James🤦🏽‍♀️

Arabcanadian101

For everyone who's complaining bout James in this episode. You all pay for them to make the content THEY WANT TO MAKE, not the shit we want to see. We liked their content and wanted to see more, so we paid. Either shut up and enjoy, or unsubscribe. It's that simple

Ivan

#BBE

Auntie Mo

This was hard to watch. James deeper rooted issue seems like no matter how good he is, people refuse to acknowledge his abilities. That's not easy.

Christina

This episode was quite nice and chilled. I think everyone needs to stop complaining about how James feels if he wants to complain then so be it. Not everyday will be sunshine and butterflies 🙄

Auntie Mo

Me too. Go James! Team James

Stella Stephens

I agree with everything you said, I don't follow just for laughs either I love seeing them grow and get to know them for them, I feel like James is misunderstood a lot of times because he acts a certain way but that just him and let not forget that sometimes he feeds into over reacting because he know people love it,

malcolm herbert

James has spent to much time alone and has drank a case of monsters, hyped

Ivan

Literally was on the pace of being a great episode until James started crying

Auntie Mo

ALSO during the race JAMES was in the next town , before ANYONE took one step. Just saying 🥰😂

Joana Inu

Jesus James can let it go man

Auntie Mo

James, you did the editing, the recording, the promo, moved from studio to studio, faced major adversity (people trying to cancel you) and all your personal stuff. SIR, You have a team. Work Smarter not harder. YOU'RE DOING VERY WELL.... AMAZINGLY.

Yan

James baby they're gunning for you in the comments and I don't like it Go have one of those convos with "big" brother Lawrence please 🫂

Shelly Ann F

I have never thought an episode was bust but this episode shouldn't have made it to upload. James, I'm sorry but you brought down this whole episode with his ego, it was a turn-off. LET IT GOOOOO!!! Ps* REM deserves better, you're his friend!!

Danni F

A list is CRAZY.

Ivan

Rem is clearly the better athlete

Jacob Hazzard

James really gotta see a therapist 😭😭

Quentin Stoudemire

As far as james took it rem has to be a better athlete

SharaHeartSixx

i think the way to settle the "who is more athletic" Is a verses Log Cabin episode. Rem vs James vs Fuhad lets gooo!!! Also I hear James. He knows he's him but I can't lie, the cameras, I'd say Rem clears. Prove us wrong James. Make US apologise!

Preston Johnson

Put some respect on seafood boils right now

Ivan

Needed to hear that motivational speech James 🫡💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Emily True

When James is actually the bully #BBE

Emily True

Ya I don’t think we have food in America - we got it all tho lol

Danika

That’s why James looks so skinny - he been stressing about this 😂😂😂

Allie

An adjective describes a noun, an adverb describes how a verb is carried out

Mei Gomez

Patreon ain't the same without him

Joshua Grant

Can we get back to James losing

Trayshawn Batchelor

lol we starting the “rem the better athlete”troll from now on for 😂😂😂

Vinny

Not BBE!!!! He did fine. He gotta get use to the vibe on camera

Emily

James is such a sore loser 🤣 he’s mad because he was “most athletic” 20 years ago in high school, and can’t fathom that people no longer see him that way, that’s pathetic

Shakara

Ewww no this athletic conversation was suuuuuch an ick omg

Clemoï Barral-Bukasa

This episode was painful!!! I’m over James being a sore loser and a rambling old uncle about “athleticism”. REM and Fuhad thank you for your maturity

Jasmine

Native American dish is three sisters soup! and the only new american dish I can think of is S'mores lol

Jerome

James bought the episode down with that dead segment. Let it go bro. Also, no way that is Ellis’ replacement…

Destaney

I can't tell you what an American dish is. But I can tell you about a couple African American dishes that are popular in our culture. That includes collard greens, mac and cheese, oxtail, ham hocks, cabbage, fried cat fish , among others. Although Soul food combines west and central African cooking (because they were brought over to the states due to slavery), the cuisine originated in the south during slavery. Most of these foods were seen as less desirable to our counterparts during that time, so our ancestors made do with what they had (they would literally eat pig intestines and pig feet), and made the less desirable foods tasty. Of course our food has alot of African roots, because at the root we are African. But our ancestors, Black Americans, are the founders of the cuisine (white people weren't thinking about putting those types of food together lol). The term "Soul Food" became popular in the 60s, during the black power movement as a statement of pride. I hope that makes sense, I tried to be a brief as possible with the explanation.

Josi

WE NEED A NEW(replaceable) EP AFTER ALL THAT HONESTLY!!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Brooke Toledo

Low key. Good things James doesn’t read these comments cuz they’re wild lol I feel James on it though. I was a star athlete in high school then all of a sudden you’re an adult and it’s just a weird transition, like you have to prove that you still have it, even though deep down you know nobody actually cares but you. But it’s triggering, so I get that. Personally I always thought James was the better athlete in the first place, but that’s just me.

Yianz

My partner is a Fulham fan and I’m man united. I started arguments next day.

Ro

Ay listen big up Alex Iwobi!!!! 😂😂😂

Leanne Unsworth

Also, if you are a person from Hamburg you are a Hamburger. Same with Frankfurt - Frankfurter

Brandii Linville

Bruh! I can’t listen to James whine about this BS anymore!! Fuhad! Just say it’s James!

Angela Brooks

Sigh. James…. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Emily True

A hard willy is called William

Tarnee

If you watch the entire episode, you’ll hear James say something similar to “this stemming from a different deep rooted issue”, as in his inability to let it go. You’ll also hear him say “it’s actually doesn’t matter. Like what does it seriously matter or change? Nothing”. Which Fuhad expresses is growth versus James previous mentality of “turn the cameras off cause we’re doing it right now”. Much later in the episode, he has a quick laugh and says “like you telling me that I’m the worst at athletics”. Like proper laughing and banter. That sentence is a quick snapshot into how he feels. It’s absolutely not what is being said, but that’s how he FEELS. If anything, he’s being told he is second. But to him, that is basically last. Ultimately, I don’t think anyone will say this but Rem is likely assumed to be better due to his physique compared to James. Rem’s body just looks more athletic, and James looks stronger. Rem is shorter (lol) and seems to have leaner mass. James is bulkier and taller. But James being upset that he’s not getting the credit (worldwide) for his actual abilities - is a fair. James wanted the flowers he was owed for his abilities. Surely you have experienced an instance where someone was rewarded or congratulated on something (award at work, player of the match award etc), and it has made you upset been upset or disappointed that they got it yet you’ve worked harder and have proof you should’ve been recognised? And all your work peers disagree with you, even though you have the evidence otherwise? Most of us won’t go through the process of proving it, but most us would be absolutely upset, disheartened, questioning if you’re good enough or why people can’t see what you’ve done. James is aware of his tendencies. He is growing, and he’s also putting his entire emotional world online… his growth is slow, like most. But it’ll be long lasting. He’ll always have his competitive demons, but he’s openly aware that there is a deeper rooted demon that he hasn’t found yet. Are you following these boys for laughs only? Or to support them, their career, have a laugh, and be on their growth journey that they publicity provide? James - I am the least competitive person ever, but I understand you. Happily help with any mindset conversation if you ever needed a random unbiased listener.

markeisha Thomas

Don’t tell me you DNF the book where the daddy fantasy recap. Yall get off Daddy James.💕💕love all you guys by the way. I get what he is saying though. What he is saying I witnessed this a few times in my life with my own dad who 55 this year. He beat my husband at 50 years old playing basketball 1 v 1. Had him all out his shirt and socks. My husband grew up playing AU basketball and he was 31. I witnessed it again when he was coaching 20 years ago I watched my dad out run a group of 10-19 years ago old boys who were trying out for his team and dusted all of them but 2. It was a requirement to make the team😂. My dad played sports my whole life so did I. So I get what he’s saying. Your still Wham amongst your peers James 💕

Becky

I know it was James and Rem in the shower but why did Fuhad walk in? James is actually the innocent party in all this.

Darian Mcclelland

How did James start the pod off with good energy only to bring this pettiness in half way through

don

i don’t like seafood or seafood boils either (from america) but i know a lot people who do and they said it’s like the best thing ever. i’ve tried the spice with the corn and it BANGS other than that (for me) fuck it all and it’s not that expensive, maybe $30 for the whole thing

don

half the epi james was trying to get validated by fuhad even tho he changed his decision. nigga brought a list out 😂😂😂 that’s me too tho lowkey

Minty

James is showing his vulnerablity in a safe space... The hate here is crazy...

Katherine Acker

The comments are literally rage baiting you, James. Don't give in!

Queen T

I like this new white boy

Gavin McFarlane

Marmite is disgusting… HOWEVER, dip a little in your beef gravy. Thank me later

Lynchy

James is hard work at times eh 😅

e lyons

James were your feelings really hurt or were you just mad because Fuhad didn't take your side? The fact that you harbored this for two weeks at least, made a list, and presented it when no one else prepared (even cared) is crazy work. You could not accept Fuhad's perspective 2 weeks ago which came from his POV, but accepted the pilates instructor's POV (because you "were the best of the three"), is also telling. Would you have argued her down if her response was different? We know you don't like to lose, but by arguing your points for this segment of the show in this way for something that generally should have been for fun, you lost. Growth opportunity for sure and hopefully you will reflect on it.

Chimére Soltis

What kinda beans and what kind of toast?!

Ganiyat

Oh James!!! It’s okay to watch others win. Did it hurt your feelings because Fuhad said it??? Sometimes let sleeping dogs be. REM is mature and I love it

Chimére Soltis

American here… seafood boil… “Slaps!” That’s a southern dish- from Louisiana. What’s a true American dish, I haven’t a clue… maybe a fucking hot dog? 😂😂😂

Adeva

I just stopped by because I’m flabbergasted that they don’t remember the vindaloo and Red Bull is a call back from one of the EARLY episodes about dates 😂

DLCACT

Not an argument. It def is.

chloe kelly

I agree he’s abit over bearing at times, I love them all but I struggle with James sometimes 🙈

chloe kelly

I really feel like lately there’s underlying issues between James & rem, I’ve noticed a few episodes that they have both been at each other like this, I can’t decide whether it’s banter or borderline aggressive competiveness 😂😂

Alicia Barrie

James: you hurt my feelings x3 Fuhad: im sorry you were right James: oh dont apologize! WHAT DO YOU WANT BRO😂😂

Jake Ross

Petition for Ellis to come back….nowwww

Jessica

This episode made me uncomfy. James is so immature and it's crazy.

letaya liles-moses

There are actually a few food items that are uniquely American and not a remix of another country's cuisine. Corn dogs, chocolate chip cookies, and hamburgers (the sandwich not the meat patty named after the German town of Hamburg, but the burger as a patty with cheese lettuce tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, etc and 2 sesame seed or brioche buns)

Alicia Barrie

James your value is more than how athletic or good at something you are. Youre a 34 year old man. Who gives a shit who is the top athelete? You literally created jobs for them. Youre value isnt ranked on fuhad or anyone else thinking you're tough. Its inherent. Youre better than this daddy ❤️❤️❤️

Mo

As an American, the only culture we have is capitalism, racism and genocide. Its trash here 🤷🏾‍♀️ Soul food is african-american culture. Its comfort food. Southern origins.

Alicia Barrie

Britan colonized America 😂

Jhunelle💕🏝️🇯🇲

Whew Chile😩….. This is why I love Rem to pieces. The grace he gives MUST be studied. That’s maturity and emotional awareness 🙌🏽. Love ya papa 💜

Sammy

I love James but I am tired of the same arguments.... Whenever someone does not give him his medallion he gets upset and throws a tantrum. you cannot be the best at everything and thats okay. Also I am paying for patreon and I just want to laugh, I dont want to see a grown ass man attack his friend because his other friend called him a better athlete. The whole vibe has been off lately between the boys. come on guys lets not take everything so serious.

Amelia

Fuhad is such a good friend. Going on minute ten of listening to James just like mm hmm. Mm hmm. 😭

Sammy

i agree with you! even I am getting tired of this

Alicia Barrie

I got chloroplast. Just saying 🤷

Sammy

nobody is hating but people are tired of him always bringing stuff like this up! If james is not seen as the best he throws a tantrum

Emily True

I came in here to say they need to just learn the parts of speech eg adverb and shit, but apparently there’s more important shit coming

Jess

This episode could have been an email. 😒

Ashley Ressler

Ray is fiiiiinnnee

Xiomara

Damn. James just about ruined this episode for me. 😥.

Emily Bachmann

James getting eaten alive in these comments! Hot damn.

Marina

Im 25 mins into this episode but I scrolled through the comments about James and to be honest, this is the first time I didn’t finish an episode. I don’t want to witness the argument 😭 just want to have a good time.

Hfrenchmontana

There's no reason to fight the truth. We already know. This country is built off of colonizers. They completely tried to eradicate what the native people of this land were already making which was mainly veggie based and they want to act like we have no culture only because Spain allowed Columbus to do all the stuff that he did and kept putting more money in his pocket to do it again and again. So no we don't have " American food"

Freddie Evans

James talking about working hard not working a lot, has honestly made me think about what I’m doing as a musician, am I working hard? Or am I working a lot? Appreciate James and his one in a lifetime inspirational conversations!

Freddie Evans

I just wanna say, I beat them at back to school! Can’t share pictures but I got 3!!

SaqlainM

i don’t know why, but i love the way Rem talks and explains himself lol, i seriously do not have the patience lol, James you really need to stop comparing to Rem, ngl i’m starting to feel like it’s coming a problem, i get James is very competive , but it’s getting too much now 😂 people are allowed to be better then you at things and ITS OK!!

Georgia

Amen! Who edited this and allowed it to air 😂

BiteDaBull3t

How James wanted a point for his imagination 😂. Dude said “I would’ve won” but you didn’t bro

Sinbad_Deity

Don't we all

Georgia

James man you just have to learn to let go. Because of what you’ve said about yourself it’s easy to understand why you’re like this but wow does it come across as the most egotistical and childish behaviour ever

Nicole Feig

I miss Ellis 😩

Rebekah

Rem deserves better than this. I love James but this is just sad now.

Hfrenchmontana

Also, we kind of have to think about the fact that if James felt like he wasn't going to be good at something or be the best at it that he just didn't try. So for me that showed a lot less athleticism than REM has ever displayed. Regardless of actual ability....we saw you give you more often

Julius Greene IV

Looks like James has been watching some Alex Hormozi content lol

Jenieva McIntosh

I adore James, he’s so human😩

shakirabera 🇿🇦

They just told James what he wanted to hear so he can stop

shakirabera 🇿🇦

James needs a stronger therapist

Tacy

There’s a difference between open vulnerable conversations and what ever the hell the first 20 min of this ep was. I never leave comments but I pay and I don’t want this podcast to tank lol the amount of patience they have with James is admirable

Ryan Thomas

I totally agree its not that big of a deal

Leah Hunter

All this James hate is crazy. If you worked on/towards something your entire life and believe you’re the best at it in the room and someone disagrees with you, you have a right to ask them why and plead your case. It’s basically a debate and he was very self aware through the entire thing. I honestly enjoyed it! Everyone loves to say that James is petty and has a big ego and the boys must be real patient to deal with his antics… at the end of the day James is entertaining and passionate. The boys love James for who he is and if they didn’t they would have stopped being friends with him 15 years ago 🤷🏾‍♀️

Imani Constant

As an American I want to say seafood boil is good even though it looks gross. If you have a seafood aversion or allergy that food is not for you.

Maria

"I did not was you piece of shit" Had to re-wind and watch that bit again because fuck did i laugh 🤣😂 And I need "Jesus christ, I left it in" and " Fuck my ass it's good" on a t-shirt 👌🏻😁😆

Tifa

I just came here to say Ray is a handsome guy!

Nicole Feig

Guys I love y’all but that rant James went on was hard to watch

Naomi Lee

James rant reminds me of uncle Rico in Napoleon dynamite “back in 82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile”

E Hudson

Americans don’t have dishes, everything is something remixed from another culture.

Reyna Javier

If literally everyone thinks Rem is better then he is. Idk why he’s so offended lmao 😭

Alejandro Ford

4/5 -> with tiebreaker for fun (cell wall, oil, 4/7)

Vanessa Kintaudi

I’m sorry I’m really turned off that they spent minutes on how James is better than REM because fuhad didn’t have the opinion he wanted fuhad to have. I know this is funny and we’re just laughing but there’s a much bigger problem in their friendship and I won’t be surprised if Rem leaves the pod…..

Alejandro Ford

Conscientious Skip Adverb Oxygen 80

Georgina

I seldom comment but this is exhausting...like let it go James!!! Not everything you need to better in than others. Legit have 30 mins of this show I needed to skip or fast forward through. It's exhausting.

Hannah Alicia

I'm gunna need James to grow up a bit cos we don't want to keep hearing this conversation. Rem is a super secure, quietly confident man, James knows it and I think is secretly a little envious of that, which is why he competes so hard against him.

Erica Harris

Soul food is definitely an American food. There is a Netflix documentary about it (High on the Hog). But the thing about American cuisine is that there will always be influences from other countries because we are a nation of immigrants. It is just how we adapt foods or recipes, for whatever reason, that makes it an “American” dish.

Daedra

James about to ruin the episode. Let it go!!!

Brittany Jade

Dude ya’ll tripping about the seafood boil…that shit is 🔥

Natalie

We are hear to laugh. Come on guys

Bee Ashley

This irked me so much lol because neither of them even eat seafood!

Bryan Xavier

If they keep their recent form it’s kinda possible bt the chaos that would ensue afterwards!!!! England wouldn’t be the same😂

Berta

Also Rem is too nice

Alyssa Zmudzinski

I personally love that James had an issue, went over it and actually came to the conclusion as to why he feels really bad when people talk shit about his athleticism. He even said “who even really cares” that is growth and I’m really happy to be a cult baby and to witness such growth over the years. Thank you SNG fam for being authentic 👏🏼

Deidra Bruce

LOVVVVEEEEE JAMES DOWN…but he gotta sit on that ladies couch and talk this through

Berta

James why is it so important to you

Christina Janellé

Ray’s face when they were arguing.. Also, we learned more details about that shower incident🧐🧐😆🤣😂

Vanessa Kintaudi

James ugh it’s exhausting how bratty you are!

yann sebastien sanon

Can anyone be pettier than James?🤣🤣🤣🤣

ItsLargeDad

Not gonna lie. If you want to go into pure athleticism, just do the Ninja warrior thing again. Out of everything they have done it’s the purest form of true overall athleticism. Also James, we are tired of this and now just wasting time on the show. Another side note… calling what he did growth is kinda disingenuous. That was more enabling him than anything else. Just my opinion

tatiana galarza

our “beans on toast” is the ghetto french toast (bread with sugar and cinnamon on it, it’s a broke people thing)

Christina Janellé

Naw bruh, Seafood boils are where it’s at!!! I personally don’t eat corn really so I can do without the corn, but don’t come for the seafood and potatoes!!

ItsLargeDad

I get why he gave the answer to James but solar in this context is a wrong answer. Then again they didn’t know chloroplast so fair. Have it

TEE T

I agree. They wasted so much time with that

ash

had to skip through james' entire fitness rant. it's gone over the line from funny into cringe at this point.

Bruce

The math test analogy was a BARRRRR

Katherine Acker

This 💗

Megan Nicole Williams

I know he recognized this a few weeks back and he acknowledged he needs growth in this area, but James' ability to harbor animosity against his best friends to the point of posting an episode that people exclusively pay for to present another argument and list of victories he had over his friend needs to be studied lmaooo.🥴 I JUST WANT TO LAUGH AGAIN YALL!!!!

Taner Tuncer

James should’ve known there was a high level of risk going that hard on the sprint

Arthur Wells

Wait Rem lol I get that America is all about colonizing now but I feel like the Brits were the OG colonizer were they not? Didn’t they control like most of the world at one point?

Lawrence Turner

Ray is cute. Fuhad looking daddyish per usual. Rem giving James grace for his massive ego. James per usual is in his feelings because he cant be the best at everything. It’s an OPINION not facts. If you feel you are better then stick to your truth and move on. You will drive yourself crazy trying to change someone’s mind about you.

I think “American” food is whatever indigenous people eat since they’re the natives 😭😭 everything else other cultures brought over

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

Damn James with the looooooong list 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️Really shocked that he went that far, hope it’s just CONTENT! They are both very athletic and the evidence favors James a bit more than REM . However, people tend to choose REM any day coz overall, he seems like a more WHOLESOME secure human being. People side with what gives them a good feeling despite evidence. Still love you James but STOP!

Josi

James we love you but yeah if you bring it up again I think there should be some type of consequence… homie you are 34…not just the audience but also your friends are tired of arguing 🫣🤣

Krys

#BBE !

Zaria zaria

First of alll. RAY is a baddie Hoowee

Nay bird

Let it go James

Faithy Dawson

When he showed up on screen I choked on my French fries

SunnyDae

James is having another quarter life crisis 🙄. Just let it go, you are not in high school anymore.

Chimére Soltis

So…. I’m hearing a log cabin episode here….

Matt Sparks

Well timed motivation, let's start some shit. Fuck yall haters!💪🏾💯

J.

James, your attachment to these kind of things is strange. With love, please do therapy. There's something deeper here. Your friends need accolades for their patience. Rem, your tolerance and humility is beautiful x

Monica Sallis

James talking and obsessing about someone else being better than him is starting to irritate me. Rem is your damn friend not the opps. f**k what we say, we are paying to watch you not the other way around so stand tall my guy.

shahd Badreldin

Grow up man

Bee Ashley

This episode had me like 😍🙄🤨🥴🙄😒

shahd Badreldin

James rant is a huge waste of the episode time! Boooooored!

Danyaal

I actually can’t stand to hear James talk about this athletics thing again. It’s getting so weird. I understand ppl have kind of ran with this joke but I feel like every time he’s taking it out on Rem. Like why does everyone have to bend their opinions to fit within his narrative regardless of who is a better athlete. As a viewer we have heard a lot of stories of Rem being a bodybuilder + being really in shape during their uni times, not just from Rem but Fuhad and James too.

Maria Laura Mella

James, I love you but this was way too petty 😭

Raeye

Lmao seafood boil is DELISH. Try it before you judge it

Cashala Thomas

The way how the team tends to James Ego is wildddd. 😒 this coulda been on YouTube

Unagi Yojumbo

Bubble and squeak?! This are garbage patties. And you’re criticizing seafood boil? At least it’s fresh.

Kim

American foods (all unhealthy af) Buffalo wings Corn dogs Baked Mac and cheese Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Sloppy joes Smores Grits Clam chowder Cobb salad Fried green tomatoes Chocolate chip cookies Brownies Banana splits Red velvet cake

Nick B

You could argue that Cajun or soul food is American.

Jessica Benjamin

Please let me know your thoughts once you see the demon slayer movie.ill be seeing it tomorrow!

Nick B

Seafood boils are gas

camila rojas

“French fries” are actually Chilean

Nick Youngdahl

To add to the beginning of the video "Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die"...think on that...

Kayla

Ray fine as hell…. Easy white chocolate 😌

Sarah Moon

Seafood boil is amazing. Obvs not if you are allergic or don't like seafood. Sweetness from the corn, depth from the butter, all the seafood (I usually do crab legs and shrimp) cooking in its own broth with Old Bay seasoning. Then add the salty meaty kielbasa and mini potatoes for the heavy depth (no pause). It's amazing.

Taylor

The only foods I’d consider “American” are barbecue & Thanksgiving-type dishes which are usually soul if done well (i.e. collard greens, sweet potatoes, mac n cheese). Unsure about cornbread and pound cake tho. Everything else is either authentically introduced through immigration (thank goodness) or washed up, sugary imitations with any healthy benefits/ingredients stripped away.

Keith

Ray low key looks like the illegitimate offspring of Tom Aspinall

Shynice Shanell

Ray is soooo fine wow

Ali Dawood

#BBE!

Karlos

bruh

Inès Leca

I think this athleticism debate is missing a key point. Athleticism should be measured as a continous assessment, not just on one day in one event. If you’re an athlete, you don’t stop being athlete once the event is over or the cameras cut. You’re an athlete on and off the field/court/stage/room (whatever it is). It reveals itself in how you recover, how you rest, what you eat, how you eat, how you move through life. Do you take stairs and get winded? Do you properly stretch after workouts or sessions? Do you train your mobility? And this isn’t to pick a side or skew the narrative, just some food for thought. I think both rem and james are athletes in their respective rights. It shouldn’t be about who’s better, ya’ll are just DIFFERENT. Cause you could take a professional basketball player and they wouldn’t be able to swim like michael phelps or tumble like simone biles or breakdance like the jabbawockeez yet they’re still an athlete. They’re all athletes. It comes down to what is your goal, what’s your intention, what are you looking to get out of said exercise/sport/practice. And i completely hear where James is coming from — if you’ve defined yourself and been defined as one thing your whole life and you’ve built yourself around the identity, for it to change is tough and for other people who don’t know you to judge you is even more frustrating because like you say they dont know! anyways, sorry for the long rant. love you guys L3G3

Kayla

James defending himself for being the most athletic is giving me the ick. Shouldn’t have to defend yourself. Just be about it and let the results speak for themselves. He needs to let it go, it’s giving insecure. Don’t like the narrative then work harder to become a better athlete.

James Wilson

#BBE 🙏😂

Bryan

I hate when they have to they cater to James feelings cause they really could do a combine and settle all of this

Inès Leca

This right here. They can both be athletes! There’s enough room for everyone!

Lawrence Turner

❗️❗️❗️

Vicky

Please can we have more food related topics? I love hearing about you guys cooking etc. Also, more food challenges would be good to see too! <3

theprinceir7

I need James to let it go. It is ok for your friends to be better than you at stuff. No big.

Jolie

nawww i love rays giggles

Roje Anderson

Still think REMs the better athlete. Come @ me James ! ( pause! ) 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️

Kesha Samuels

James Duncan! Jesus!!! 😂😂😂😂 #spoiled

Brianna Gordon

REM this episode has taught me how to handle hard situations. Even though the narrative is that James is better than REM in athletics REM handled and spoke so kind and calmly to the gents. The whole group knowing how to communicate with James and not escalate the situation, is so nice to see. James, even though we don’t see you every day, over the years, I feel like you have grown. Love you all 🤍

Kyle Walker

James pettiness is on another level 😭

Lawrence Turner

Losing or the narrative of him being lesser than in any way seems to really attack his ego & pride. Its interesting to see. I'm glad they've all managed to stay friends for so long

Jenn P

I just live in America looool. Dominican and Puertorican food is a staple in my house 😌🙌🏻

Jenny

I feel bad for James, to be so good at something and have people just say someone else is better, without having a proper comparison of the two. People just like to hate/wind him up. He’s an emotional soul, be kind to him 😭🥺

Lawrence Turner

Im glad he acknowledged that taking it to that level was drastic & a lil ridiculous.

Inès Leca

loveeee the beginning of the ep!! thank you for the words of encouragement <3 :) also crazy that james used pull ups as an analogy because those are literally the only exercise preventing me from passing my school entrance exams 😭😅 also adjectives describe nouns, adverbs describe actions (so verbs)!!

Kasey

No one actually cares who the better athlete is, it’s fun for challenge narratives but god. Move on & make up! It’s crazy to see how James used to speak so highly of Rem but lately I don’t get that same energy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sarah Moon

Rem is more athletic, where James is the better Athlete. Those words mean 2 totally different things and can't really be compared so you're both winners LOL

Jack Gunnell

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdbbHwPu/ - have a watch of this, guy sings like liquid gold and I feel our music tastes our similar lmao

Justin Spencer

I got 3/5 in Back to School…. I want a shot at the crown!

Lola

Am I the only one that gasped when James pulled out a list? He was seriously hurt 😕

Jonathan

Fuhads such an enabler to, every time James has a rant like this fuhad goes and calls it growth smh

Goose

Also hearing guys from England say “it’s giving colonizer” it’s hilarious 😭😭💀

alexander Moore

I made it to the final question and I wrote the sun so technically James I believe I won this round

Kristin Acord

Adverb describes the verb (how you do something) Adjective describes the noun (color, shape, size, etc) I also hated grammar with a burning passion growing up, this is one of the few things I remember 😂

Jere Karujärvi

James’ Athleticism rant has to be how Lebron feels about the GOAT debate.

Harley Ali

Americans have meatloaf and they have the audacity

Krystal

im here speaking for the white folk in america bc i was raised eating only jamaican food. we don’t got shit of our own over here, but yalls food is still dead tho no lie 😂

MizDanni

Ray's face when you guys were going back and fourth anout the shower incident is hilarious 😂

Goose

James go back to therapy bro 😭😭 yall are brothers, it’s cool at a competitive level but now you sound like you’re just chasing high school glory and the past a little

Anita Boyd

The whole athleticism conversation drained my soul.

Georgia

James’ poor little face when Fuhad said “that’s how your mum feels” someone please give daddy a hug 🤗 Also nice to meet Ray 👋🏼

Harley Ali

James hates Rem pass it on

Kyle

James crashing out over the shower memory is JOKES

Tamerah Jones

The question is, why does it matter who is the better athlete??

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

Aww, Nairobi; my UNI home town❤️❤️. Go visit boys, you have loads of fans there

Tamara

Ignorant footbal question from an American: would or could Man U ever be relegated and drop out of the Premiere League? I'm not putting bad karma out there; it's a genuine question.

Mark Woods

"Didn't want an apology" but had to prove why he's the best 😂 gotta love it from james 😂

Indigo

James…breathe

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

I had to pause too and give reverence to James’s speech at the beginning, he came in with🔥🔥🔥🔥

✨

FR like its fuhad’s opinion.. let it go and respect it

Sarah Moon

Adjectives describe nouns (blue house), Adverbs describe verbs (quickly ran)

Lilly 🌻🇰🇪

You boys have MOTIVATED me sooooo much, I love that you’ve given your all for this dream. From the time I started watching you I am on the verge launching a gym clothing brand for women on Amazon. It’s hard work, planning, designing, actually working out at the gym, walking to test products!! I looooove it when James goes on a MOTIVATIONAL rant!! So so proud proud of what you have accomplished thus far 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Hfrenchmontana

Ray!

BreeCat

James' pettiness is getting us another 'fitness' episode.i'll take it 🤷‍♀️

lee

I'm a graphic designer and digital marketer that dropped out of uni (third year in). I'm working for a corporate branch now and I've been thinking ALOT about that showing up v. hard work situation myself recently. It's disciplinary to show up everyday, it's the bare minimum and I was realising I was getting comfortable rather than pushing myself within the office everyday to the point where I could one day freelance. It's an amazing thing to be determined and aware of your flaws, it's the first step to success 🙃🤞

Tori Williams

Loving Rays getting it correct face go on king! X

Lawrence Turner

That whole debate about James v Rem felt... weird to me. Idk... interesting that this was brought to the pod. Glad you boys got a week to get recharged & energized again! 🔥

Amber Bernacet

its my birthday today and ive been in a down mood as of late but the way this episode started was exactly what i needed to hear 💛

Adam Sardo

only 14 mins in but had to pause to write this comment. WE NEED MORE of these business/entrepreneurial based content and discussions. james is in his fucking bag here, he’s right on so many levels, and you know he’s spitting because we’ve all literally seen them go from 0 to where they are today. the shit about “you can work a lot but it doesn’t mean you’re working hard” is so true, and even though i know he didn’t even intend it to land this way, it genuinely motivated me to think deeply about how i actually work as a founder myself. maybe im alone here but i love hearing the boys talk about the entrepreneurial side of their journey, because seeing that they’ve actually *done it* and achieved so much is so fucking inspiring. if james or the team do read this, just know that even though i almost never see it directly spoken about, the journey to where you are today is inspiring to so many people watching. it’s as if we’ve seen a friend grow and crush it right in front of us. any way imma get my tongue out of everyone’s ass and hit play again lol

BreeCat

Ray is cute but damn do I miss Ellis.

Tai

Love y’all man!

Philipp Kühnert

Every german person ever starts counting the "one" with the thumb😂

Nessa V

Where’s daddy fantasy? I’ve finished all the fourth wings books & I’m on the 3rd book in the acotar series. James put me on I need daddy to catch up

ThatCrippledArtist

Yooo Back to school: 1. Conscientious 2. No idea. 4 out of 5 already lol 3. Adjective. Damn how'd I fuck that up too? Lol 4. Bring oxygen through the body 5. 80° 3 out of 5 again. I'm still slacking Tie breaker just because: 1. Chloroplast 2. I started over thinking and didn't answer lol but the answer was obvious now that I know it
