"A 14yr old boy's idea of what masculinity looks like". Spot on.

I was not even remotely ready for Jimmy Carr being so profound, sharp minded and wise! Always loved the comedy but never really saw him speak in a serious manner. Absolutely blown away!

I've suffered with mental health since being 14 or maybe even before, I'm 36 now. Nice to hear Jimmy being so understanding.

Jimmy Carr is such a fluent speaker with interesting insights. Sadly not that many people know this side of him - it's not the first talk I've seen him being part of, that was a great listen. Amazing stuff.

I'm 50 and this is the first time I've heard Jimmy Carr speak seriously.... and Wow I want to hear more of that Jimmy! He really hits many nails on many heads! Do you want to just 'exist' or do you want to 'live'?

"It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem." When I left home to commit suicide, the only thing that stopped me was the fear of not seeing my daughter grow up. That permanent solution there is no coming back from. I chose to hang in there another day, a few years later I couldn't be happier.

You don't learn to shave from your father. You learn it from a KZfaq video. This resonates with me, as I watch how to behave from Jimmy on a YT video !

Jimmy Carr, a stand-up comedian teaching youngsters to be stand-up people. And how to banter like a boss. Thankyou.

I like how he dismisses andrew tate with one line, and moves right on. That's the way it should be, Jimmy Carr is a champion

That's pure gold . I'm the father of two teenage sons, there is a dearth of good advice to young men on what being a man is these days. This conversation should be being had more often, more openly . Well done both of you.

Listening to guys like Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais and others speak so profoundly about such serious topics must get us to think what a strong correlation is between humor and intelligence.

I love this side of Jimmy Carr and hope we see more of it. Be a mensch.

Enjoy your presentation enormously. No shouting, no over talking, no ego trips, just conversation conversation. Thank you.

I met Jimmy one day in Belfast at the airport, he was an absolute gentleman. He had me laughing the whole queue to the flight. Lovely fella!

It's rare a video leaves me awestruck. So much wisdom and insight packed into 9 minutes, and a lot of it I felt at my core. I don't think these words will leave me, and I have some introspection to do about my own life, and the life I want for my kids.

Excellent excerpt. I haven't listened to the show before, but I'll check the full episode. This was a lot of insightful takes on important topics.

Blown away by Jimmy Carr’s depth of mind here. Well done lads.

"14 year olds used to be babysitters ...now they need babysitters" ...OUCH. TOO TRUE.

Fantastic video!!

What an absolutely amazing video. So insightful, I had no idea Jimmy Carr was this brilliant.

We need to see this side of Jimmy more.

''Andrew Tate is like a 14 years boy idea of what masculinity might look like'' This.

Thank you gentlemen for this Video . Well articulated .

Incredibly profound. I needed to see this today. Thank you. To the both of you. I'll do my best.

Jimmy needs to do more serious talks like this, he's very good!

I never liked his comedy that much but seeing him in interviews over the past few years, I am blown away by his breadth of knowledge and insightful observations.

Stumbling upon this video has just made my day. Thank you. That was delicious to hear such common sense and wisdom. And Jimmy Carr just went up massively in my estimation. Happy to suscribe and hope to see more of this quality. (More of Mr Carr too, please).

Absolute gold from Jimmy. Insightful & telling it like it is not how we'd like it.

Wise, profound, informed, intelligent, aware, human, genuine, honest...... We done and well said Mr Carr

I am very impressed with jimmy Carr. I didn't know he had such depth to him. Great conversation.

Thank you for talking about this. Cheers

wow, i love Jim Carr even more now. never heard him talk seriously, and he is amazing.

Jimmy's so smart and articulates things brilliantly

So many valuable lessons here, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Comedians are the modern day Philosophers ❤

Nature abhors a vacuum. You know who else abhors a vacuum, my dog.

Comedians are often the key go to people to cut through the nature of the fabric of society as they spend most of their time trying to find the humour in it, great to hear Jimmy Carr talking like this - first time i ever saw him was in Up the Creek, well before he was on the telly.

I enjoyed watching these two discuss so lovely

Jimmy's analysis of where we are today is spot on. I think kids should always be given the time to be kids, to be carefree and to play. That being said, we also need to acknowledge that your kid doesn't go to bed as a child one night, then wake up as an adult. Turning 18 might mean that they're legally an adult, but becoming an adult is a process that starts before 18 and crucially, continues after they are 18. If we're not giving them responsibilities, testing their capabilities and their limits and trusting them with at least some decisions, then they are not going to learn. If you're not actively parenting them and getting involved in their life, they will get their influences elsewhere and from people who are less than ideal as role models. Maybe the most important starting point is to ask ourselves how we felt as kids? How did our parents do? Can I apply the good parenting skills my mum and dad had, and make sure I pass that on to my kids? Equally, can I also use my experience of any negative aspects of their parenting as examples of what not to do? Even the best parents make mistakes, but using them to do better is how we all become better.

I love video games, always have. But, I had a rule that I’ve always stuck to. If I was playing on the PS and a mate messaged or called (back in the day) to go out, play footy, basketball and later go the pub. I’d always go, I’d never let video games get in the way of real social interaction.

The description of Trump and Tate were spot on ! That’s the difference when an intelligent and insightful person takes charge. God bless Jimmy Carr

I really enjoy jimmy's comedy. What I enjoy even more is catching comedians I like have real conversations and realizing how intelligent they are.

Sorry , I have to comment again . Jimmy's second half of this conversation is so accurate . The modern 'online' environment can be very damaging if left unchecked . Thank you again .

As a Gen X teacher, parent, mentor, I found this insightful and resonant.

My friend is a priest, he once told me the church cannot answer your questions, but being a part of a community that attends church might help you meet people and in doing so give you a group where your questions might be answered.

I have been PREACHING exactly what he just said. Comedians see the tragedy that is life and comedy is really the only true copium to outlast the negativity. Bless you both

WOW! I've never seen Jimmy Carr in this light and with this much sincerity and insight. Great conversation

Nice Christopher Hitchens reference

Jimmy Carr is the intelligent comedian Russell Brand wishes he was. And for all of Jimmy Carr's rude, racy, raunchy, and politically incorrect humor, Jimmy isn't out here full of hate, or prejudice, or trying to actually punch down - unlike some comedians out here, including ones I previously respected. When it comes to Jimmy Carr, it really is JUST A JOKE. And the more I hear him speak in interviews like this, the more fond of him I grow as person - as does my respect for him.

Jimmy's a very wise man in this interview. Great conversation.

Excellent. I didn't know Jimmy was so wise with this stuff, but not surprised. It seems like many of the best comedians are incredibly sharp thinkers, too.

Tons of gems in this

One of the best breakdowns of what is wrong with the modern world. I have a new respect for Jimmy Carr. I always thought he as a good comedian but this, as well.

I wasn't the biggest Jimmy Carr fan until I heard him not doing comedy. What a wise and humane person he is. I've gone back, and I actually better appreciate his comedy, oddly enough. He mocks his more bone-headed hecklers for not understanding that it's comedy. How humbling to find out he was talking to me!

Jimmy puts it really well! So much insight and truth in what he says!

Never heard him be sincere before. This was really nice.

that was a great point about sadness vs depression.

Finally! I was wondering what Jimmy Carr's opinion on Andrew Tate is for too long! LOL

It's good to see a professional psychologist commenting on mental health issues. Only his contrast between depressed and sad does have a psychological terminology - "indogenous" depression when it's caused from the inside and "exogenous" depression when it's caused from the outside. Obviously, in many cases, the two are interrelated as in someone who cannot cope with bad things happening to them. I was reminded at one time of some research done about 20 years ago that showed that children who are always "supported" by those around them and not criticised find it difficult to live independently when they are older. Jimmy almost touches on community, being part of a group - research once showed that going to church every week caused people to live two years longer, but was superseded by research that showed that being part of any group/community once a week (night school, art group, writers group etc.) meant you lived two years longer. But if Jimmy sees the advantages in life of being religious, it makes sense to be be religious even if you don't believe in G=d. Don't ram your beliefs down your own throat, get into ways of living that give you a better life. It's only stupidity that stands in your way. Toxic masculinity is generally part and parcel of a toxic society, and people should start thinking about the advantages of a society that is based on community and not individualism - the real battleground of "left" and "right". And that is why 14 years of Tory misrule - as well as the reduced human contact because of the internet - has led to a massive increase in youth mental health issues. LoveLifeGoodness&Freedom, Andy

Was great to hear Jimmy Carr talk some truth about Andrew Tate. A 14yr olds idea of what masculinity looks like - BANG ON!

This conversation encapsulates everything I've been thinking about over the last few years regarding where we're headed as a society. Wonderful clip, very thoughtful, thank you.

Wow. So much wisdom in 9:45 clip. Well said Jimmy.

Right. He's on my list of people I'd invite 'round for a dinner party. I Really enjoy listening to people who have clarity of thought

this was one of the best yet jimmy is brilliant.

Jimmy Carr is one of the funniest comedians of all time. But it is times like this when even the funniest people out there get serious when you realize the importance of something. That's what I like about him. He knows when there is a serious issue and gets right to addressing it.

Brilliant. More of this, pls

This is such a wonderfully productive conversation. Massive respect for Jimmy for his takes here.

This man is spot on! Wow! I’m sitting here, at 8am, on a balcony watching the sunrise and this video pops up. Just marvellous 🤩

Great conversation. Jimmy Carr is so intelligent and really sends a great message. Love his humour too!,,

Great discussion, thank you

Wow, some people can explain complex things thaughts so easely. It's an art. Wonderful to watch

that was the first interview I have seen with Jimmy Carr, which was on a more serious note. I really enjoyed it, props.

Honestly, gotta admit that I was expecting a different type of video reading the title. Very glad that it turned out to be a very reflected and smart conversation, I enjoyed it a lot!

Watch the whole interview,it's awesome

This quite helped me to make sense of myself, I could never define myself by myself (I didn't know how to feel about this); but I always defined myself by the people around me, especially by my parents. Thank you Jimmy Carr for the help.

I need to listen to the full episode, this is an interesting episode. Dropping gems 🎉

It's exactly what Jimmy said. Tate is like a teen's fantasy of what a man is like.

Perfect. Thank you.

Deep. Thanks for the insight

I listened for the first minute and YES! I’m so glad to hear someone influential talking like this and taking the action to actually correct the claim ”depression is thinking yourself too much”! Thinking yourself too much is a syptom of depression (illness), not the reason.

Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. My respect for Jimmy Carr just shot up!! I completely agree with him. Live in the moment. I’m 30 now and 2 years ago I deleted Facebook and instagram and started living now! Luckily I’ve never been into video games My life rules are respect others, look after yourself and love your woman.

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen 👍

Always liked Jimmy and his takes on life. I think he's spot on about young people finding proxies for things rather than focussing on the real world. It's a shame though that he chose to dismiss Andrew Tate so quickly, especially on the subject of depression, as Andrew has been one of the very few positive role models for young men in getting their life together. All the things that Jimmy said were important in society - having a purpose, a sense of togetherness with those around you, doing things that improve your mental state - those are exactly the things that Andrew demonstrates to young men so it's a shame that he doesn't seem to see past the obvious brash and outlandish persona, which, if you actually listened to Andrew, you'd know is just to get people's attention.

When he’s had enough of doing the one-liners, Jimmy has a serious comedy career ahead of him as a philosophical social commentator.

Really fantastic and thought provoking interview. Jimmy Carr’s appearances on DOAC are always great.

Wow, “Thoughtful and Insightful” would not have been how I would have described Jimmy Carr before now. Going to find the full video.

This was the best and most insightful conversation I've ever heard on this topic. I feel like this is what's really going on with men my age. If I was working on my own life the way I work to level up my character in whatever game I'd be a badass.

Great video, really appreciated the level of directness and it was exactly what I needed to hear today. The world is a pretty brutal place, we fundamentally need each other to survive and if we're not equipping our kids with not only the tools to function in life but also the wisdom that going it alone isn't the answer then we're doing them a massive disservice. I think that is one of the root causes of where we are at the moment societally, the current generation of young adults have not been given the tools and wisdom to be able to function. I especially thought the comment about "14 year olds used to be baby sitters but now they need baby sitters" was excellent and tragically true. Also agree with the fact that becoming a parent is like starting a completely new life, it's amazing but I'm a completely different person now! Thanks for sharing, this message needs to sink in for more people.

I loved how Jimmy explained the issues that kids are experiencing, including myself (a 26 year old kid lol) who are using KZfaq to learn how to do things such as shaving. We should be learning these tasks through our Fathers, how to tie a tie correctly, change tyres, build etc. My Father is an alcoholic narcissist, he taught me how to tie my shoe laces so I'll give him props for that... My son just turned 1, I've been self teaching all the "man" stuff (along with lots of teachings from my Father in law) and I am excited to teach my son everything I know. Should there be things I don't know, then heck we'll both watch KZfaq together and bond through laughter and learning.

That part about religion is spot on. I was never a "faithful" person but I enjoyed the sense of community and support in a church even though I stopped going before I turned 20. Now, over 20 years later and four years into working from home since the pandemic, no office to go to, that sense of being alone can be pretty overwhelming and isolating.

I've always enjoyed Jimmy's comedy. I never really look him up, but when it shows up, I listen. But listening to him just talk for this short video made me really like him as a person. He hit a lot of nails with 10 different hammers. I feel like he will be one of those comedians who ascend into a philosophical role that we never seen coming.

This clips is potential the best thing I’ve ever seen on KZfaq!

Jimmy dropping serious gems everywhere 😮

I can listen to this for hours. Great minds gents. Primo

Great reflection / summary

I watched this clip 3 times because I enjoyed it so much and wanted to take it all in. Fabulous!

That explanation by Jimmy of sadness vs depression, of being sad because things aren’t going like we liked vs serotonin imbalance… a few weeks ago I went to my brothers for the weekend and forgot my antidepressants, on the second day without them I was catching myself almost crying from time to time for no reason (well, there was, imbalance), just like I was before starting them. Yeah, that explanation really hit home.

I wasn’t ready for this. Damn.

What a remarkably insightful video. Made me look at Jimmy in a different light.
