Jpprice14

I wonder if Miss Catfish actually catfished someone.

chris pavin

Been to the Paris TN festival it isn't that great 🤣

Nina

Fried SPAM with mayo on white bread 👍

Liz Rutherford

Come for the comedy, stay to hear if this is when James has a stroke on mic.

Quinn Locke

Okay, all jokes aside, the memorial at the twin festival makes sense, since losing a twin is a unique experience and you can get some time with people who actually understand. That being said: the people who thought of those puns deserve to be drawn and quartered. And their twin for good measure

Smalls (smallenoughtofit)

Visit Sasasota for a great time at the five o’clock club in Venice

Jimmie- if you find yourself in Southern Louisiana, go to a restaurant called Middendorf’s. There are a few locations- one in Manchac, one in Slidell. They have famously good crispy, thin fried catfish. It is SO good. I am a Louisiana (New Orleans) native- and every time I visit, Middendorf’s is on the agenda. All of the seafood there is great, but they are know for their thin fried catfish fillets.

Nicole Alpeter

I want to see James & Jimmie ride an ostrich 😂

Feet dragging the ground the whole way...

Sarah Zamenski

Absolutely dying at the image of Jimmie sitting on an exercise ball going 40 mph.

Sarah Zamenski

LOVE YOUR SHOWS!!

Dana McCall

From Finland (most towns are small here) I have two pics left for the third episode of these: Mosquito Killing Championship, and since Wife-Carrying World Championship was already covered, the Farting world championship is now the only one not covered 🙄

Miika Niemelä

There's one in Paris, TX too!

Liesl Manone

Spam-a-rama rhymes. I lived in Austin for 9 years. Never went. Spam-a-RAM-a

Liesl Manone

The spam toss is the contents of a can not the can

Lisa DeBruin

I'm with ya Jimmie, catfish taste like dirt lol

Ronny Porter

I'm shocked you didn't cover the Pollinator Festival.

Gina Marie Bongiovi

Hahahaha wtf ??

It’s Ben LG

Does your aunt go? Have you ever been?

It’s Ben LG

Not sure if you guys have ever heard of it, but what about the Walleye drop on New Years Eve in Port Clinton, Ohio. https://wyliewalleyefoundation.com/

Amie Tusin

I HAD to look up Nutria.... 8.8 to 20LBS! wutthaaaaaa.... cute though LOL

Jeremy James

Gotta check out the Boulia Camel Races in Western Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Nicole Sullivan

I grew up in Twinsburg and yes I have a twin sister. We've done the science shit for money. Once we turned 18 it's all we went for. Also you mentioned Olympic Village type shit. One year there was a public WEDDING between 2 sets of twins. They have kids now I guess. They were on TLC and lived in the same house together. Old people thought it was neat and cute. I thought it was creepy. The festival is the same shit every year and gets boring. Nearby towns also get infested with random people dressed alike too and cashiers ask about what the fuck is going on.

Rose Stosljevic

I can't believe I'm googling Miss Catfish at one o clock in the morning. How times have changed. Well worth the money 🤑

Justin Glover

James' pure venomous hatred of puns just made them all the funnier!

Tony Lemek

My aunt lives in Twinsburg and can confirm that this fest brings so many people. Just oof

Kat Sutton

You can also get spam, eggs and rice for breakfast!

Rachel Barters

I Gonna die from laughing 😂

Angela Hedin

Oh God the Spam!!!

Susquito

I just threw up laughing about the camel

Icepickk420

A bunch of "people" with various Camaro pictures? 🤔 Sounds like the Catfish festival is getting Catfished 😜

HomotisRockinDumper

Hey Jimmy, I share your feelings about catfish, however there is one place that absolutely does cook it amazingly! Y’all are coming to NC soon, so I highly recommend you hit up Crawford and Son in Raleigh! You won’t be sorry because it’s absolutely amazing food! Plus, you can expense it for travel (it’s kinda expensive), and enjoy ♥️ See you in Durham 🤩🤩

LouLou Rogers

I found the show (free) on Spotify.

Byron Webb

Definitely doing the Twins Festival. Putting my picture on a tshirt and telling every set of female twins I meet "my brother always wanted a foursome with twins. He left us to soon" I'll update you with the results

Joe Weniger

You had me laughing and gagging talking about the spam festival. OMG you guys are awesome. Another hilarious episode!

Kari Salwey

I hate puns!!! Especially twin puns.

Brenda

My uncle killed an albino nutrarat and it's mounted in his house

Kristie Frazier

The Hickoids are great….

Michael Dixon

Growing up surrounded by farm land in Oregon, nutria are not only eating plants but they burrow and can cause major damage to farm equipment. They also have huge yellow teeth and will charge if they feel cornered, which is all the time. So there was a bounty offered at .50 a tooth. A lot of my buddies made their weed money one tooth at a time.

Beth Sykes

I know a couple sets of twins who definitely attended a festival or two😂 probably not this one but still! The highschool class that was 2-years above me had *6* sets of twins!! It was actually pretty crazy because there were no other twins in our school, but that class in particular was full of them! And I know for sure that at least 2 of these families regularly attended twin-themed events, the senior slide-show was full of evidence 😂😂

Becca Pederzani

OMG! I met Alex Miller at the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville in February. I've never heard him sing, but he's very tall and very sweet.

S G

Guess what else is in Paris, TN….an Eiffel tour 😎

A_lexusterrestrial

Can you guys reach out to podcast carriers? I can only listen on the Patreon app because no one takes RSS feeds anymore. Google podcasts was my go to, but they ended their services this month.

Nunya_bsnss

Goat Fest in Jefferson, WI is another ridiculous little festivial every year.

Tiffnie

The twin festival was definitely started by Yosef Mangla.

Wilma Phist-fit

Yeah it’s a really cool place to visit.

Michelle Brown

I’ve actually been to the Broomcorn Festival. It’s really cool if you like crafts and vendor events. There is a huge vendor fair that takes up several streets!

Michelle Brown

How can anyone eat catfish, that is disturbing 😳 😫

Emma Triangolo

This was so hysterical 🤣 😂 especially about the spam toss

Emma Triangolo

I needed a good laugh while driving home after my fun trip seeing my lawyer, therapist, & getting my teeth scrapped at the dentist 🤣👍

Kelli A Thirsk

I was blasting this while door dashing. Just finished a blunt picked up from Panera Bread. And had to drop off at an elementary school in Middle Tennessee. I was loud and they were dying at the fish fest part

Combos

I also don’t like ham or spam but spam burgers are elite

Andrew VanAlstine

oh god you CAN ride ostriches... https://youtu.be/k_1PxrVeTpA?si=EVc_HQKebrried3Z

Laura Haughey

The PB&K band= peanut butter & ketamine?

Matt Shifflett

You can get SPAM burgers at McDonald's in Hawaii.

Heather Murphy

There's a SPAM museum in Austin, MN. Home of Hormel, who makes SPAM.

Heather Murphy

SPAM and Scrapple are totally different. Both goos but way different

Brent Fox

Farm raised catfish is gross. Fresh caught is best. And smoked chicken a the way to go

Lisa Ann

So quiet you can hear my mom vibin’

Marc Trudeau

Didn't they do the broom corn festival in the first festival episode?

Vintage.Belle

The outhouse race reminds me of the barstool races in Drummond Wi- so funny!! 🤣

Brenda Davey

Precision lawn mowing is a thing?? Wtf

Tony Legg

If the Lil Miss Catfish wins based on whiskers, I'd be a contender! 🤦‍♀️whatever force of nature decided that women need facial hair once they're in their 40s/50s can suck all the dicks🤬!

Michelle Miller

Finland also has bunch of other weird sport events like the air guitar world championships, air tango, swampvolley, swapsoccer, phone throwing, summer ice fishing (with special rafts), etc.! You could do a whole episode only about them.

Siiri Aalto

Close enough! 😄

Eldergoth

Jimmie is 100% right—“nutria” look nothing like they sound like. One of the worst names of all time. The “nonplussed” of the animal kingdom.

Matthew Martin

Y’all should look into Metropolis IL. They have two, a Superman Festival and an Encampment ! It’s a freak show lol

Courtney Bremer

Arcola is in Amish country.

Liz Rutherford

I went to an Ostrich Race. In AZ! The tshirts I bought (had to. This shit was wack) said 22 years maybe 25. But they do this every year. Ostrich Burger n shit. It was fuckin great. We gotta get Jimmie there on a live feed.

Thomas Gallagher

James I love you but if you say kerfluffle one more time I'm gonna lose it. It's KERFUFFLE. ONE L

Ruth Dunlap

Phew! My brother lives in Arcola, VIRGINIA. I thought maybe he was holding out on me.

Eldergoth

Knife right through my Filipina heart 💔 that spamburger eating contest is crossing the line though! lol 🤢

D P

The SPAM toss should have to be done without the can. Just the SPAM itself and the jelly that's on it. I think it would be a lot more interesting 🤣🤣🤣

Barking Spider

It's not a festival, but there's an annual Naked Bike Ride in St. Louis https://www.facebook.com/groups/102320911276/

froggy7983

Torille! Suomi mainittu! (That is the mandatory thing to write or say any time someone mentions Finland.) I did not know wife carrying (or eukonkanto) had made it to the US!

Satu K

If Lawn mower drill team competions are your thing, look up Book Cart Drill Team competitions held at library conventions.

Savannah Davis

I wonder if Dr Mengala had kids, he'd love the twin festival

Dr Phil Goode 👹🌲🔥

Another great bonus episode. Mortimer was the original name for Mickey Mouse before Mrs. Disney got Walt to change it to Mickey.

Charles Jewell

The imagery of James riding an ostrich 🤣

Jen Ward

Anyone have a direct link to the Part 1 episode of "Small Town Festivals"?

Corey

Aren’t catfish bottom-feeders? Like some folks from Tennessee?

Katy Clark

Whoa. Real people eat SPAM!

Katy Clark

Twinsburg is an hour away from me. I go to the festival every year and hide in the bushes and throw Skittles at the twins.

Angelina Marconi

Catfish is great, but you can only get the good stuff in places where you wonder about your sanity for eating there. Like Fast Eddie's Bait & Tackle & Restaurant. Catfish was top-notch!

Alexis Bergstrom

https://susquehannariverlands.com/history-culture/tours-events-2/falmouth-goat-races/ Goat race festival in Lebanon, PA. So on brand for this neck of the woods.

Jennifer Britten

Seinfeld episode 8, Season 8. The Chicken Roaster. One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes! Didn't think I'd ever hear 'nutria' again.

Krissy B

I love that I have lived an hour from Paris for most of my life and this is the first I'm hearing of this fish fry.

Melinda Golladay

When Jimmie said "shoeing cats", all I could picture was a farrier for cats. Itty-bitty little kitty horseshoes.

Ian Barber

Oan, Jimmie, you just need to eat catfish raised in and prepared in the South. It’s one of 2 fish I will eat. Fried catfish cooked right is amazing.

Jennifer Hadad

I know you don’t care, but Belzoni ends with the same sound as Arizona. So it’s really pronounced Bell-zone-uh

Jennifer Hadad

In Brisbane myself but didn’t actually find out until this morning about it. How absolutely fucking horrific!Love these guys and their talent for making us laugh & helping people get through a lot of shit in life.

Justine McNeil

Louisiana fish and game used to pay $5 for nutria tails so that’s why some guys would go hunt them

Jeff Stanton II

I love everything that comes out of the ocean too. 😂

Cory Dyani

I love the side convo about catfish. Haha.

Luella B

Lurch Fest: West Virginia AND a small town festival! Ted Cassidy who played Lurch on the original Addams Family TV show grew up in Phillipi, West Virginia. Every year they have Lurch Fest. Last year they unveiled a life size statue of him as Lurch. https://www.wboy.com/news/barbour/lurch-fest-2023-statue-creators-the-son-of-lurch-and-more-at-one-of-west-virginias-kookiest-festivals/

The socialworker and the bat

Ostrich races are totally a thing, and they look just as amazing as you'd imagine. The ostrich names are WILD. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k_1PxrVeTpA

Molotov_Mocktail

I am dying at the spam hate 🤣🤣 Spam fried rice is in regular dinner rotation at my house. Spam Musubi 🤤 love that shit lol

Leslie Alcantar

Fish fry and Camaro festival 😂😂😂

Carla Walsh

“Whh..what is that?..dog food?!”

Daniel Sandomenico

I live in Sydney and after the awful shit that happened at Bondi yesterday and the constant reporting it's nice to have something else to focus on. Really appreciate you guys when life is dark and fucked up.

The Pudd
