You can always tell someone’s age when they think a Netflix special is the pinnacle of success for comedians. 🙄

@@CW-rh4jz I never said it was the pinnacle of success, stop projecting your opinions on others. But I know Chappelle had the richest Netflix show deal of anyone in comedy. And I know that Netflix paycheck would be a step up for Josh Johnson.

For real! Maybe I'm too much of an old-head to know, but from where I sit, Netflix is a great platform for a young comic get exposure & build an audience. Traditional network sitcoms only seem to work for Black comedians after they're already famous.

100%. You got it. Learn to love yourself and all your flaws. Learn to look after yourself. Learn when you need looking after. Learn what makes you happy and what's good for you. Etc. Therapy should help you with this, and give you some tools to deal with things. But it's not necessarily to "become a better person". You're already awesome!

🎯 yes!

Yep. Some part of it is to stop masking. It may be somewhat less socially acceptable but if i except myself i will find my space..

Facts!! That's what I learned in therapy. It gives you the tools to manage the areas that are unmanageable ❤

@@micaelawearne I agree. Stop fighting with yourself and understand that having control of things/people/circumstances is truly an illusion.

Yes! I’m so used to male comedians getting so defensive at the idea that guys don’t want to date a woman funnier than them.

Same 😊

Stop calling black comedians "smart", white comedians never get referred to as "smart".

​@@pablot-r9402wtf are you talking about 😂 smart is rare everywhere, obviously lol, so ANY intelligent comedian is complimented for their minds.... like, what shi- are you on, dude?

The next Trevor Noah 😂

as an up and comer hell ya, Trevor Noah not even close

Ditto😂 ..im sorry, Toure is too old to be this giddy🤭

And it’s SO difficult to become a therapist, so even if there were a lot of people wanting to help others the hurdles we’ve set up to be able to do that are insane.

Still to this day, after 25 additional years in therapy on and off, my most favorite therapist was the very first one I had, a wonderful middle-aged black woman named Lucrecia who I began seeing at 12 bc I was being bullied and feeling really alone and alienated from my peers. She comforted me and spoke to my soul in a way no person since has ever been able to. Black woman MAGIC is so real.

Strongly agree, in training to be a therapist. Every accredited therapist I know has a waiting list out of the door and around the corner. At least here in the UK anyway.

Why tho? Not pickin a fight here i genuinely wanna know what u mean. Im from Germany over here funny women are rare gems and we treat them as such so this concept is new to me. Why would it be a curse.i havent gotten to thw part where josh talks about it and i might not get there soon. I watch this in increments.

I'm an 80-year-old white woman and I have such a crush on Josh! Check out his beautiful slender fingers......I know I should be ashamed but I'm not!

@@bonniesomedy1339 lmao go granny!!!

Any therapist who told me it's not science would not be my therapist. It's brain biology and neurochemistry, psychological and social sciences. The word "therapist" is so general, people have to be careful.

​@@anotherinternetidiot6300 your comment says a lot. it very much seem as if you fundamentally misunderstand what a therapist is. a therapist is not a neurologist. youre also ignoring the actual comment youre replying to. they specifically said "science informed" and "not entirely science", so idk why youre pretending they implied a clear and distinct separation of science from mental therapy. their point is that therapy is not universally objective. there are established methods, again informed by science, but that doesnt mean everything works for everyone at all times "cuz science". emotional intelligence and perception are incredibly important. There are many, many aspects of mental therapy that are literally antithetical to raw objective scientific fact. like did you even read their comment or did you just decide to pedantically hyper-focus on the "not entirely science" bit? Seems to be the latter considering OP never said "therapy isn't science". You could have all the science backed knowledge and experience in the world, but if youre lacking the specifics OP mentioned youre simply not going to be an effective therapist for most people. there is no objectively correct scientific method of mental therapy. it is an amalgamation of many concepts, skills, and disciplines including science. therapy is ultimately the opaque navigation of the human mind with goals on a case by case basis. your expectations of therapy are grossly out of line with that notion. honestly not even sure why any of this needs explained lol like this is some really basic and obvious stuff. you're sure doing your name justice though.

If a lot of my trauma stems from targeted hate crimes based on my race and gender, would it be fair to talk to a black therapist, as I don’t relate to and haven’t lived the spoiled/entitled/ privileged life & need people to stop assuming that I relate to a silver spoon fed woman, instead of someone that came from the same circumstances as me? I know not everyone is coming from rock bottom, but I really want to discuss with someone with awareness, the TRUTH about these things, I need blunt and raw honesty, not the cookie cutter & politely judgmental and doesn’t understand sh!t I’m saying. I have honestly hated my white therapists and wanted to just make them tell the truth by putting them in those situations and asking them to keep speaking about it the way they are, I hate people being… low key racist??? I’m learning the hard way you CAN be racist and prejudice towards ANYONE, no one is allowed to abuse me for my race, and the false assumptions they make literally get me violently terrorized in ways no one should ever be able to survive. The only times I’ve ever not been abused by the ‘mental health’ field, was when I was talking to women of color who had actual life experience in the conditions that the white therapists were just…. Honestly so fkn ignorant and abusive towards. They were so foul. They try to frame their mental illness and delusions as mine while being fake professional and undercover narcissistic asf. I can’t handle it. I want someone who knows what I have seen and will not harm me with gaslighting because they’re just??? So delusional and have no idea what real struggle or suffering is.

And the mountains are not Everest anymore. They're easier to manage.

And now you’ve got all this mountain climbing gear so the next mountain you encounter you can climb it way faster!

he'll be as legendary as richard pryor and george carlin

That’s an insult to Josh, Trevor Noah is trash!

​@@CW-rh4jzTrevor is not on the same level. This guy is spontaneously funny.

He worked with Noah on The Daily Show, so, of course.

Trevor is as and just hates America

Well hey stage KREW sis! This is where I find you again? 🎬

@@MaishaOnTop - Hey Queen! 👑 What can I say? 😌...we both have GREAT TASTE in YT content! 😏🤭

Are those the guys being chosen? lol I love how the broken people choose to ignore the actual facts and just say stuff.

@@MrAirnike8 well me and my kind-not-nice guy are planning our wedding so say what you will

I think that's selling him short, though. He is nice as well.

@@MrAirnike8 I chose my love that way. I chose the kindest guy. I was on Tinder dating a professional chef, a Free Mason real estate man from a wealthy area, a guy with two kids, a fireman, a guy from TMZ, an old famous singer’s son (who ended up raping and filming me), and my current boyfriend. There were 5 guys that genuinely were kind. My boyfriend was very kind and sweet and he saw ME the most. He talked to me the most like I’m a real person. The guy with two kids was very kind. The real estate guy was very kind. The TMZ guy was very nice. The fireman was very kind. The chef and the old famous celeb’s son were nice but they faked it. The guy with kids, I saw myself being their mom, but he started letting me do all the taking care, which I understood at the time because he wasn’t used to being taken care of. But at the time, I needed to be selfish according to my therapist. I needed to be seen. Bless him and I hope he found someone who loves him and cherished him. The TMZ guy had a wild life in LA and I didn’t see myself partying with famous celebs late nights at clubs and at intimate celeb parties and attending comedy shows every week. The fireman was 2 hours away, but he was more sexual than conversational. Which was fine, but I was falling for my guy. The real estate guy, I thought got over me, so I didn’t want to be pushy and I didn’t want to force it. He ended up calling me months later, but I was in love with my guy by then. My guy isn’t super tall, he has a skinny build, he wears glasses, loves watching scary movies, anime, Top Chef and he is KIND!!!!!! Everyone that meets him loves him, all his friends and family told me many times that he’s the best person they know. He’s very wise, very kind, a very good listener, attentive, he fixes any problem immediately if someone raises an issue about his behavior or his health. He’s very responsible. He’s very kind about how he goes through life. That is real sexiness. 😍 🙌🏽 He’s my king! I’ve always been around “hot strong sexy” jocks “tall sexy engineer” types and “wealthy dashing handsome” guys. I’ve never been attracted to anyone on of them. Not one. Not because I was biased against them, but because they simply were MEAN. They were mean to teachers, mean to quiet nerds/geeks, mean to their friends, mean to me, mean to girls, mean to strangers, mean to their family. Really sane and altruistically moral females want kind respectful males. Stupid and traumatized females WANT dramatic miserable toxic relationships. Females don’t really know what they want until the worst happens. Same with males. I’d like to add that I was a stupid traumatized female too not that long ago. I was making excuses as to why I should stay in a toxic relationship. I should have gone to therapy to heal instead of continuing to hurt myself and my partner. My partner should have gone to therapy so he wouldn’t hurt himself or me. He started the destruction. Then together, we made it crumble. So, anytime you see someone who chooses anything else over kindness as a top priority in a bond, save a couple lives and let them know they need to heal something inside with therapy.

@@100samanthamarie Girl, you ATE with that essay! Thank you for sharing yoru story. We have to keep reminding young women (and men, if they'll listen) that kindness is the MOST important thing. Everything in society says otherwise, but we link up with other traits at our own peril!

Ha! Careful with your material. ;0)

I did the exact same thing I didn’t know about it, but I’m watching it right now😄👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Josh will own Netflix soon 🤣

And they tend to stigmatize people less.

I would beg to differ here. Older doctors have more experience in the field, and have seen more illness and disease over time, therefore having a wider frame of reference for diagnosis of illness and disease.

​@travelpro23 it is all kind of the individual doctor - from my experience in chronic illness, anyway. But when you think about it, a doctor's experience can work against them because they've built biases. Like, doctors always say, "If you hear hoof beats think horses, not zebras.." - so older doctors are less likely to consider certain things.... Also older doctors will judge you based off these biases they've developed, they become jaded, and therefore they don't listen as well....

@@travelpro23your opinion doesn’t negate available data. Older doctors can have a wealth of experience, but unless they’re constantly keeping up to date on new info, they’re usually behind and stuck in old methods and get phased out. New doctors are trained the most in new data and methods. They have less biases and aren’t generally as jaded with age and repetition. This applies mostly to physical medicine. Psychology and psychiatry is usually different and having longevity allows for perspective and a wider range of approaches

This is so cool. I have conversations with strangers on the bus, train, flights... I've had so many nice mildly pleasant conversations that help me understand people that are way different than me slightly better... but then I've had a TON of earth-shatteringly powerful and transformative conversations because I'm open about my mental illnesses and physical disabilities and addiction recovery (8 years off meth & street prostitution thanks to science-based SMART Recovery tools & meetings)... life seems to be about connecting with people and allowing myself to be changed by others and by experiences... to allow my understanding to shift and expand, to work to stay humble emotionally and intellectually... I feel so lucky each time, just like I feel like this conversation happening and to have been posted for me to watch... I feel really lucky the algo served me this today.

That’s alarming but sadly not surprising. I work at a teaching hospital in surgery. For the most part, these are surgeons are good to all the patients. But I’ve definitely seen micro aggressions.

Running laps

Josh has the patience of Job.😇
