I watched Jigsaw with my husband knowing we'd both enjoy it. After we saw it we felt so much happier in our marriage because we fell in love with our true selves. Not the idea of him/her or whoever He or I made up in our heads but the woman/man in front of us. I told him every dark thought and secret I had and he loves me more for it. I married my soulmate on our 7yr anniversary. I loved him more that day then when we celebrated our 1st year. We're going to celebrate 5yrs married and I love him more now then I did when I married him. 12years of true love. -from someone who didn't believe in love and who doesn't know a single person who hasn't gotten a divorce.

Really interesting hearing Daniel Sloss in this podcast episode, the contrast in his affect and dialogue is remarkable compared to jigsaw explained. As you say in the intro, really quite humbling to hear him talk about true love, therapy and meditation. A real heart warming episode.

I live in Argentina, the country with the most psychologists in the world. Everyone talks freely about going to therapy and most people has gone at leats once in their life. I went a couple years ago and i want to start going again. And it's not just for privileged people, most medical insurances cover it and there are a lot of ways to get affordable therapy through volunteering

I think one of the reasons why unemployment scares us so much other than the obvious if course (need money to live) is that we attach our worth to our jobs. If you're a lawyer that's your identity rather than something you do. It's actually only a part of your life not your whole life. Just like relationships. You are not the girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/father/mother etc. Who we are is much bigger and grander than that. It all comes back to self-love. Bring your highest self into the driver's seat. There are only five really important qualities that you need to practice on a daily basis especially during covid times. Love, compassion, gratitude, empathy and forgiveness. Use these five things in how you treat yourself and others. I promise you that most of your problems will go away if your intention is towards practicing these things.

19:15 the bit where he talks ab ticket prices and how he has issues with taking money directly from his fans has me in awe. Even tho it's decent thing to do not everybody, actually majority of comedian do that but here we have lovely, intelligent, straighforward, honest, and damn funny man saying it, wow he really is worth of every ounce of attention he's getting🖤🖤"comedy should be affordable for everyone, any comedian who makes prices over 100 quid is dishonest, you can't relate to the audience if you tell them give me two weeks worth of your money in one show and for the same reason i don't sell merch, u already gave me your money , like i don't want to take anything more from u""🖤 i LOVE him. There is no better comedian for me

Daniel Sloss Teenage Kicks...I took my not quite teenage sons to their first comedy show! So funny. We were late due to a ticket trauma.. and he roasted them! We've seen him every year at the Fringe since, bar one. Again, they got teased in 2015 in the audience. Daniel is very funny and can be very dark too. My boys are grown up too, and they are still fans and watched the Netflix shows. I havent yet but I will! It's been interesting watching him from so young on stage to the man on the couch!

@shwetanavani480 3 жыл бұрын

I'm so sorry for all that you're going through. I know from experience that it's not easy. 2018-2019 were very difficult years of my life. I got fired twice, went back to school and changed career, discovered being cheated on, left that relationship and then 2020 came along. At that point I understood that for me to live my best life I have to be willing to change direction when I'm not happy or else the universe will create difficult circumstances and force me into it. So I know it's really hard but try to think of it as an opportunity to do a self evaluation. Ask yourself some uncomfortable questions that need to be asked. Pay attention to the answer that comes from your subconscious and decide where to go from there. I can safely say that 2020 has been a wake up call from the universe. Let's make the best of it. I wish you good luck and I hope everything works out for you. In fact I have belief that it will. Take care

Daniel just made a point about looking back and liking the changes that make him who he is today verses back then. That's interesting because a shit-ton of people looking back experience the exact opposite feeling and perception. I do like Daniel's comedy including the cussing, although that is usually a turn off for me. Maybe it's because he comes off as genuine rather than affected. Whether or not the sense of authenticity is based on reality or not doesn't matter to the comedy because it's still very enjoyable to watch.

I think a lot of fans watching knows we're watching a 21year old, or 23 year old or whatever it is and that he will grow and learn things he doesn't know yet, when watching those sets. Even if he is wrong on some stuff, that's his perspective at the time. Even know when he's talking about his relationship, he does seem naive. I think jigsaw and the effect it had did make a valid point of people staying in a relationship when they shouldn't. Still, long term relationships does take work, all relationships do(friends, family etc as well) but if there is love there you want to do that work.

Good relationships, marriages, take more than love and willingness to work at it. It is possible to love someone deeply but recognize a continuing relationship would be a detriment for both people no matter how much work you put into it. Being too scared of loneliness to leave a loving relationship that makes you both mediocre is pathetic was his point. And after 30 years of my own relationships and marriage, and witnessing other's, I absolutely agree. Those relationships make the participants comfortable yet stagnant and mediocre people. You may think a relationship like that is acceptable, but I don't, Sloss doesn't, and it's an opinion. We're all subjectively correct, even though we don't agree. That's how subjectivity works.

Both of these men look masculine but their body language / expressions are mostly effeminate. This odd characteristic is the direct result of being highly-urbanized, drug-addled and totally-dependent on the work of better men. Men did not evolve to be "comedians" nor "talk-show hosts". Men evolved to hunt and work and defend the band / community. Urban culture cripples and often destroys masculinity. Daniel sat around and played video-games and smoked pot all day because he couldn't find any gigs. Think about that for a minute ....
