Jim talks about having a medical emergency in Canada, getting morphine, finding out he had a huge kidney stone, still doing a stand-up show in Ottawa that night, being in extraordinary pain on the flight back to LA, and finally getting rid of it.

I’m 42 and I do nothing healthy. I’ve been playing Russian roulette with a kidney stone for too long and my luck has got to be running out.
ReplyOnya Jimbo!
ReplyYes, women DON’T like men saying a kidney stone is more painful than childbirth. I had one 33 years ago, and blessedly none since.
ReplyAt that size, I wouldve thought they would have used ultrasound to break up the kidney stone.
ReplyJim is one of my favorite humans, comedians ever!❤
ReplyHe looks so good since he gave up drinking it gave him that20% of star power he had covered up
ReplyAs an Australian I am proud to say that Jim is an absolute legend ❤
ReplyHis manager is a monster.
ReplyHell yes to morphine! Breaking your spine in two places = 6 months of bliss 🤣
ReplyJimmy Kimmel is full of Jims. I had a gallbladder stone once. I screamed a lot too. Not like my wife though. I was present at all our three kids births. Love you J.K. and you J.J too. of course,

ReplyYou poor thing. Only Jim Jefferies can make a kidney stone story fun.
Replyi’m surprised the hospital in Canada didn’t use lithotripsy (either shockwave or laser) to break up the stone. i had shockwave lithotripsy done, felt like small electrocution (or snapped by a rubber band continuously) until the area felt kinda numb. and then back in the room i just drank a lot of water, jumped up and down for a while to help(?) push the pieces down, and peed. i didn’t feel the pieces going out.
ReplyKimmel has the worst audience
ReplyThis guy crawled back from the shadow realm?🙄
ReplySmall urethra and wee-wee…stones aren’t that painful to demand that kind of attention. And yes..I have passed many stones.
ReplyJim’s stories are the best. Still missing Legit. Jim is looking great and healthy. Underused talent – we want more Jim.
ReplySomeone give that guy a new sitcom.
ReplyNow that’s a showman! Performing while birthing the mother of all kidney stones. Dang Jim! Thanks for literally giving us your all! 🫡❤ Canada loves ya, mate! ❤🎉 (also shout out to Kingston General Hospital & “Dean”!!)
ReplyFunny how he implies that Canada has few criminals and international drugs aren’t often smuggled into to The US through Canada… Drugs are the #1 thing that both governments look for at the US/Canada borders. You’d be surprised how many illegal things the US Coast Guard intercepts in the Great Lakes alone… (I assume the Canadian Coast Guard has the same problem, flowing the other way).
ReplyKidney stone came out of me pepe and it was not fun
