I wish Fresno CA was a better destination 😢

Thanks I needed thathis information. Hope we can make it 🤞🏼

You are comedy gold Josh Johnson! Hope to get to a show when you're in town! Love seeing you on The Daily Show!!! Hope they keep having you as a regular!! 💕

Damnnnn I missed Grand Rapids I'm gonna have to keep a closer eye out from now on

Well I'm glad I didn't do your poll the other day on which city to come to, you were already here.

That’s a pretty beautiful (and accurate) analogy

😂😂😂😂😂perfect😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I hope he sees your comment. 😂❤

Outstanding

😂😂😂 THESAURUS! So accurate! #Roget 🤓 I truly hope his Mom & Grandma aren't disappointed in him! He makes me laugh & brings me so much joy!

Joke that make you feel good. Yes, exactly 😂😂😂

Could not have said it better😂

I have the biggest crush on this man! But like a friendly crush.. such a great friend to have around

Word!

Idk how that makes sense but it makes perfect sense. Lmao.

I'm from this part of Michigan and you're 100% correct. The funniest part is people will come home afterwards and say "sorry I'm late, I had to help a guy who was lost which took a little while" like it was an absolute requirement. I'm pretty sure it's because every one of us has been stuck in a snowbank at some point and one of the unwritten rules is that, if you see someone stuck, you have to slow down and ask if they need help. People also talk about that like an annoyance as well which is great. "Sorry I'm late, I had to help some idiot out of a snowbank" is a perfectly acceptable excuse to almost anything. The best part is when you get the people driving small cars with no tow straps or chance in hell of being able to pull the other car out who still stop and offer help in the way of a shovel or offer to use their phone. Those people are great because 9 out of 10 times they drive by again later to make sure you made it out ok.

Enough Irish to adapt the Irish Goodbye

Funnily enough. You are actually being helped by ghosts most of the time.

​@@lweismann??

Midwesterner here. While I can't say whether I've startled anyone by disappearing (I wasn't there to see), I have accidentally startled people by appearing suddenly (usually customers or staff at the grocery I used to work at when I'd offer to help).

Wish we had that over here on the east coast….it starts to get a little crazy over here😅😭I’m not proud of it, there are nice and friendly people..just a really really small portion of

And they weren’t soliciting you for something? Weird

Omgosh I feel like people are so friendly and talkative in the south it would drive you crazy 🤣

When I moved to the south from NYC, one of the hardest things to get used to was strangers saying hello to me. I've been here for a few years, and it still isn't completely normal to me.

I'm the opposite. I moved to Chicago from St. Louis. I was smiling at and nodding at people and they looked down and didn't make eye contact.

I'm from Mississippi and I moved to Ohio, and ppl always give funny looks when I smile and nod at them. Now I just look straight ahead. I honestly think it isolates us more.

In michigan? 😅 that person was prob having an off day. Go ANYWHERE n ask a question aloud, there will be a human to stop n check out.

Can You Blame Them?

Probably because the pandemic wore them out. Fighting with people everyday to wear mask and getting assaulted physically/verbally.

​@@deemaeeYep, damn right I can. Maybe if they'd stop relying on self check-out and just open up a check-out line with an actual cashier, then they wouldn't have to worry about retail theft so much.

​@@bigfootpart4therevengeancing ^

Im glad the crowd appreciated it

😂

I laughed so hard at that. The NYer in me said yup you ain't from here.

Yesssss😂😂

what kid?

Wait till you see Oregon sometime, random folks will just go "Oh shoot, your shoe's untied. Want me to take care of that for you?" Like T_T So sweet but I got it. Oregon is like the slightly younger sibling of Michigan in terms of niceness; being just as nice, but we're all not sure where the line is drawn with being helpful.

If you don't know where you are how can you help another lost person?

@elsvaughn7959 That's why I don't stop and try to help

As a New Jerseyian... What happened to you to make you so friendly?

@estefencosta1835 That's like asking what happened to make you not friendly. I think it has to do with things not being so crowded elsewhere, it's also not so overstimulating nor do you have to on your guard as much. Plus, it's not super loud all the time so it's more likely that people can sleep.

Me too

Welcome to the best part of each Tuesday! We are happy to have you (like I'm from Grand Rapids. LOL)

Same About to light up and get some laughs on

Welcome to the party!

Josh 'Antidepressant' Johnson 😂😂

People watching at its finest

😂😂😂😂

​@@tiffanyanderson9437it's my favorite past time as a NYer 😂😂😂😂

As a michigander, we needed to hear this 😂 I'm still this human "too friendly" is a frequent assessment I receive to this day. Resting friendly face goes real sideways in the south. (Send help)

Lol

For real. We got three Joshes in our timeline😂😂

Louisiana is that way somehow. I grew up there & swear I had more life by the time I was 17 than I've had since moving away at 23 & I'm 45. 😂

Oxsnif from Mars lmao

Dragging a lil’ story, adding some taste and color here and there,building up slowly, making the most out of it; it is his strength. I grew up my dad doing the same so I really love when Josh is like this. No rush, no stress, just a feel good story.

Right?! He literally has to be a genius!

He definitely is a genius. I'm not even convinced that he wrote some of this stuff. The Grand Rapids stuff might have been purely extemporaneous observations of his experience there.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly improvised just off the cuff thoughts

magician do what magician do. automatic writing ✍🏾

Sometimes it just comes to you.

I mean.. doesn't it though? lol I was just laughing with my partner last night about how that's just kinda how it always works. You do stuff until something happens and it makes you do stuff until something happens and then........

I even screenshototed you comment, lol

Mmm… cant really have goat conversations about artists, and cant really say goat then more goater or just as goaty, and Katt?!? C’mon man - its whatever blows your hair back - but Katt? That third sentence is an enigma too. @richkraft2787 i likes you!:)

😂

I discovered him yesterday and had my headphones on listening while cleaning out my closet and all my husband could hear was me cackling every few seconds. He thought I had finally gone mad.

​@@EffSharp this comment made me laugh too

@@WouldntULikeToKnow. we were able to get tickets to his so cal show! It was amazing. So grateful the algorithm finally did something good for my life. 😂

Awe ♥️

God bless you, too, and hopefully you get a nice break from working 16 hour shifts.

Bot

Totally!

Is what he said about Grand Rapids true? I want to visit!

​@@PetroBlownapartif it was the Michigan version... They are pretty friendly people...

Can confirm Mich GR is Midwestern nice. I'm assuning Wisc and Minn are as well. ​@PetroBlownapart

@@PetroBlownapart More to do down over here in Detroit. Best Museum in the US or live music whatever your style *eh???

tbh what helps me is praying for no dreams when I go to sleep cuz I steady have weird as$ dreams or nightmares.

Hey friend, I used to have nightmares and really bad sleep paralysis. Now I turn on KZfaq stories or a comedy show or something to play continuously while I sleep. It helps a LOT. On more stressful days I already know whatever I’m obsessing about will manifest into a nightmare in my brain, I’ll download an audiobook and let it play so even when I wake up it’s kinda like a grounding thing. I hope this helps! Oh and counting pulls me right out of sleep paralysis. Normally I don’t even make it to 20!

I smoke weed so like, having dreams isn't even supposed to be a thing lololol Thanks for the advice guys. I do listen to long KZfaq videos or movies while I sleep to try to give my brain something to vibe to. Brain just needed to act up and revisit some trauma for funsies lol

Compared to nyc all of Grand Rapids is mister rogers neighborhood

@@richvisser7563 fair enough but we definitely have a hood. I hear gunshots every night. But it’s overall nice.

🫂

Subway tile camo lol

Now see, once I would would've just assumed they were very sweet people stuck in parenting mode. But the Internet has taken my innocence. 'Cause now I think they just have a foot fetish. 😞

@@kerrychristensen7204 I never thought of that💀 Also I was wearing sneakers....

Yes but did they tell you the good news about Oxniv from Mars?? 🤣

In sorry. We have trauma🎉

Is Oxnerf an actual thing or did Josh just make it up?

Well I’m not going out THERE that’s for sure 😅

I'd like to know that answer as well!! I was just telling my bf about how Josh was going to be on that show. I found Josh a few months ago and have wanted almost ALL of his videos he put up on YT 😅I just love him and how funny he is! I laugh a lot when listening to him. He's great & I can't wait to watch him on that show.

@montecristo1845 said he has already seen him on the daily show. So it's up somewhere lol. I'm gonna look for it 👀

His Daily Show clips are on KZfaq

I had the opposite experience sorta. Nyc has been good to me, but I’ve heard it’s a lot safer than it was back in the 90s and prior.
