I had a scaary experience too at age 19. I was working outside on the farm on a friggin hot summer day (it was like 35° Celsius) and I was a bit dehydrated but I kept doing my thing. Until a wasp got into my shirt and stang be right in the armpit. I never had problems with stings before so I just went in the house and let my Mom check if the spike was out, then I continued working. Suddenly I felt like something was more wrong than it was before, my field of view startet narrowing at the edges. I stopped the tractor, jumped down and sprinted into the house. When I opened the kitchen door (my Mom and my Sis were at home, nobody else on the farm that day) I just said: "I'm having a real problem, I can't see." Because at that point my sight just burst into pieces, like old cable TVs when they're off program. Had a shock from that bee sting and a few minutes in my heart rate went to practically 0, I could've been able to say a full sentence between the beats. If my Mom and my Sis weren't there that day keeping talking to me and getting me ice cold watered towels and a foot bath I might've died that day... Sry for the essay. That never happened to me again luckily but it's definitely scary as hell to have a near death experience at this age (I had motorbike accidents before but those are nothing compared to this). I hope the MOAR powa babbe guy will appear in vids again regularly. Best wishes to the crew 👍🏻

Glad your back James!! Guys don’t stop doing sad stuff! The history is real and needs to be told, and a lot of younger folks wouldn’t know this history if it wasn’t for you guys!! Keep up the amazing podcast. I’m a fan for life. Pop up up and down headlights!! Ugh!

Glad you're OK James. Now do Lauda VS Hunt already!!!! 🤣 🤣

I'm 31 and guess i lived kind of unhealthy like james did in the past, so it's good to know that i have 3 more years to life.

"Blazing and glazing" so that's what the kids are calling it these days

Y’all need to do one on DeLorean.

Nice to see James gettin back Up To Speed again.

It’s possible that Brazil hadn’t adopted the 1 hr time zones in that era. Prior to these time zones, each city would base their local time off when the sun was at its highest using telescopes/observatories to monitor this and drop a time ball at exactly noon to signal noon daily (the origin of dropping the ball on New Years). Unfortunately trains traveling between cities and sharing rails would risk crashing and so the railroads played a big role in standardizing the one hour time zone system in the US. This was in the late 1800s, though. Again, Brazil may have not adopted this system yet or they could be basing the “almost 1 hr” based on the pre-timezone system local solar noon. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Please do the story of Mickey Thompson. Also glad to have you back DAD!

I had to get a pacemaker and defibrillator implant at 25 years old. I've had heart failure four times. I've been shocked by my defibrillator several times. Sucks being young with heart problems.

Watching Nolan fidget with things is quickly becoming my favorite part of these episodes

Damn hearing a story like this makes me wonder how Ford as a brand survives to this day. And this was before the Pinto too

Fordlandia being less offensive than the Mustang Mach E, thank you for giving me one good laugh in the end!

My wife get sooo annoyed because all I do is watch all the donut media shows. I drive 45 minutes to and from work and I turn on donut media and listen I’m my way to and from work. I love everything y’all do!

Best wishes to James!!!💪 And all the best to the whole Donut-Team!!!💪

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I for one am quite thankful that James is alive... its pretty cool that he survived....😂

I get unbelievably excited each time these are released

"I had to spend 2 weeks at home. I got so bored." You caused this JAMES.

Crazy story glad you guys featured this as it show a light on history that people would otherwise forget.

Glad both you boys are here Well glad ure all here

who thinks james and nolan would be better leaders to start a donutlandia

I've been going back through all of your podcasts. The production quality is amazing and the subjects and research behind are brilliant. Thank you so much for this podcast. Literally my favourite of all time.

I'm surprised there was no mention of the wonderful book, by Greg Grandin, Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City. Other wise, great episode!!

Yes!! That's the journey to the first drop sorted tomorrow love donut podcasts and the channel itself obviously

Damn I’m really glad James pulled through. Couldn’t imagine if anything bad happened to anyone at Donut. Stay safe guys and keep bringing us the content!!!

This is a very real and raw James. I’m the same age as James and I can see the genuine emotion in his face at the beginning of this podcast. He hasn’t really put the character of “James” on in this episode and as a long time fan it’s refreshing to see.

History aint always good but keep telling these stories alot of people probably never heard some of these stories

Been catching up on donut I missed, and as late as I may be I’m ecstatic that James is healthy💚

Stay Healthy Pumphrey!!! happy to have you back

Best episode out

i live in a town that use to have a factor whistle that went off at set times, and wildlife didnt seem to care.. saw and still see all sorts of wild animals here... even some that... normally stay higher up in the hills...

Best car talk duo ever y’all hilarious to listen to while driving 😂😂

hope you get better you and nolan are my fav people from donut you guys are funny and chill👌👌👌👌👌

Greatto have you back James! Its only Mo Powa Babeh from here on out

Man, James saying "what a bunch of maroons" really brought back some not so great memories of my grandpa

Glad you made it to the hospital and are doing better James.

"I got so bored. I was home for 2 weeks" well...that didnt age well

Nolan needs a fidget spinner! Also welcome back James!

My dads a mechanic so you are more like the car uncle to me, anyways i know im watching these later but I did miss the episodes you were gone on! Glad you’re back and looking much better now! 👍🏽

I had one of those when I was walking around last year with a brain aneurysm, the wrist through the arteries. Nurses didn’t know how to do it well so I got stuck 4 times due to it

Im glad you have such a great attitude. Keep being badass man. We love u

I am Brazilian, I live in Brazil, city of Jales. Brazil does not preserve its own memory. it's unfortunate. my name is Eliel-Pina

Great episode guys! Great info. Very interested in the subject. @Donut Podcasts, Can I ask what your main source for this info was? Some of this info I have never heard before! Thanks a lot! :)

I had 2 non fatal heart attacks in my life, Im glad to be alive, dont take life for granted, im grateful that it wasn't worse than what it is

Give Nolan a raise!

God, do i love your podcasts

PAST GAS. POD CAST. sounds like WAYNE'S WORLD WAYNE'S WORLD 👍

I also have a stint. Mine is in my aorta. Needed it when I was 16. Hope you're doing well

Some time zones are split by half an hour, and I think theres even a few 15-minute ones.

Me sitting here wandering why they only got 52k on this channel and not at least 500k or the full 3mil like on donut media

😲🤩😲😍 Best Wishes too the QB (James)

My dad recently had a scare with a near complete blockage. Jay Bouwmeester had a heart attack on the bench in a blues hockey game the other day and a couple other people I have heard about with surprise heart issues. I’ve been walking around hyper aware of my pulse lately.

You know the Jame is great when he can say and old meme and it is still funny

I would really like to see a project mini-series dedicated to designing and building and racing a baja 500 car truck or suv. I know that your show doesn't revolve around my wants and needs, but I'll buy you guys lunch anywhere you want if you do it.

Yo thank god you got there in time. 🙏🏾

Can we get one on Soichiro Honda?

James, just gonna point out. Carol Shelby had heart problems in his 30s and he still turned performance into his business. Maybe it’s a right of passage

What a way to close it indeed!!! 😄

good on you to talk about healthy diet. proud of you guys.

When they say "you can't a Ford it." How can you afford not to a Ford it!

He is back.

james is a chief!

James you are beast

Newfoundland, Canada runs on it's own specific time zone, Newfoundland Time, and it's actually a half-hour ahead of Atlantic Time. Fun fact

I think I'm going to the doctor thank you James

The guy from Flipping Mastery TV looks exactly like James without glasses tho

Great episode... wow ... so Ford has a great "E"lectric car name in their stash of trademarks but all they can think of is the poor Mustang. WOW, I would love to watch a similar episode on Jim Haccket

you guys need to show example pics of the thing you’re mentioning pleaseeee!!

I already listened to this on Spotify

Annnnnd that's the last time a new Ford is gonna be on the channel

James, we love ya bro, welcome back! health and godspeed! The Donut crew rox!

if i was in the hospital like that Endurance sports car races, indycar and Flo Racing i still wouldn't get caught up

Timezones are split up by an hour apart on the north and south America side of the globe.there are 4 time zones that differ an hour from each other and 3 hours from east coast to west coast

Time zones are generally 1hr, but there are half hour zones too

Nolan's ADD is showing. Rubbing the edge of the sticker on the back of the laptop lol

The Fire Festival of auto manufacturing.

Additional info and pictures here: www.businessinsider.com/fordlandia-henry-ford-city-brazil-rainforest-ghost-town-photos-2018-12 "Fordlandia residents were fed a meatless diet, modeled after Ford's vegetarian eating, and were served things like brown rice, whole-wheat bread, and oatmeal. They were pushed to attend poetry readings and English-language-only singing sessions, and alcohol and prostitution were prohibited. Many workers railed against those restrictions, and some established a bar and a brothel on a nearby island. They called it "the Island of Innocence." Ford also built a dance hall in hopes that his Brazilian workers would take to square dancing as much as he had. In fact, Ford hoped that Brazilians working in the settlement would adhere to every one of the societal expectations he set. But ultimately, workers clashed culturally with Ford's American vision of idealism. The tipping point came in 1930 when the dining hall stopped its wait service and shifted to a self-serve cafeteria style."

Quit playing with your phone!!! Yeah,,, You Nolan!!!

DADS BACK!!

Newfoundland is 30 minutes ahead of EST.

James get well plssss

The car dystopia is not limited to Brazil.

I had bypass surgery. I had a coarctation of the aorta so the rerouted the artery in my left arm to fix the issue. Now I have a large scar going around Me 👌

Did James have a classic car movie marathon? Did you watch The Mandalorian?

Do the Nissan plant in Smyrna Tennessee

James always try’s to act like Nolan’s teacher

I am going back and starting from the beginning on Past Gas. This may be two of the most painful hours of my life, especially in light of recent events. No wonder Hank the Deuce ends up being such an ass.

Nolan! Stop touching the God damn sticker. Its fucking creepy James. Glad to have you back. Stay well

Baseball, hotdogs,apple pie and Chevrolet!

The time zone thing makes sense because time zones are done on the x axis not the y axis across the globe and because Brazil is pretty much directly south of Michigan it is not far off their time zone.

Mumbai is in a half hour different timezone than it's surrounding areas. Fun fact.

No one is gonna mention NOS?

Get this man a fidget spinner

I'm so sorry to hear your situation bro ❤ Best of luck with your recovery and life moving forwards. Plz take care of yourself, as you 2 as motivated us all watching 👀 😇😇 Down here from 🇦🇺🇦🇺😎❤ Maybe you are no longer the QB, You are becoming MORBUIS the OG

Docking talk just made me shoot coke (the drink) over my desk, thanks guys.

what car did you drive to the hospital??

You know what, I’m gonna say it. NOS shot themselves in the foot. Glad you’re okay, James. Love from Louisville.

"Ford realized he was screwed by Brazilian politicians" Brazilians: welcome to the club dude

Guess who's back, back again.

If James has a heart attack, we all have a heart attack.
