Yeah the issue wasn't the validity of the statement. It would be less jarring coming out of the mouth of an adult. But a 6 year old shouldn't be having such profound thoughts.
I like the throw away line "on wednesdays a guy with a dress comes in and tries to fight everybody" lol Like the joke wasn't the guy in the dress- that was just how you recognized who to take cover from.
yeah i liked that joke too! sort of subverts expectations on what you think the joke will be while still being funny, what it actually was is better, anyway.
"Naps don't help when your soul is tired" That is the most adult thing I have ever heard... the fact it came out of a child in a class who was supposed to be napping... If I had been the teacher I don't know if I woulda holla'd "PREACH" been in such agreement and shock that I just walk away wordlessly, or burst into a puddle of tears right there... Jesus...
@PrinceJoshTheGreat yeah, but kids be saying wild shit though. Even if it's a made-up story, spend some time atound kids, and you will hear some wild shit.
@@PrinceJoshTheGreatyou'd be surprised. I used to work in a preschool and the things those kids said were really shocking, both good and bad. Naptimes also did have a weird effect on kids, you could tell who had problems at home by the kid's sleeping patterns. There was one kid who clearly came from a rough home and would not only never sleep, he wouldn't let other kids sleep and would get eerily angry, we often had to remove him to let the other kids sleep because he would just get up and forcefully wake them up. He eventually got kicked out for hitting another kid in the face with a brick. He said some really scary stuff with a totally deadpan look on his face that would give you chills. I still wonder about him, 15 years or so later, I can't imagine he had an easy life. His mom definitely had issues and always seemed distracted, on the phone, would drag him by his arm without paying attention to him, he often had wrinkled, dirty clothes. Other kids knocked right out with smiles on their faces every day. You can tell what kids are prone to anxiety, deep thought, superficiality, etc., their personalities are there. He could have made this up, sure, but after the things I've seen and heard it wouldn't surprise me if it were real.
That conversation with the security guard was the most real shit ever. As a former grocery store employee (not even in a bad neighborhood) that is exactly how we would have handled that situation.
@alicemakarevich6762 in a typical neighborhood you would call the police. I worked at a grocery store too, the police were called a few times and they were always there pretty quick. But I imagine it's much different when it's an everyday thing. You're not going to call the cops every day to come usher the weirdos out of your store. Especially if you have hired "security" on site. We also had hired security from a third party at our store, and they were laughably incompetent, but grossly underpaid so I never blamed them too much. I'm wondering if he worked at the same store. Menards is huge in Chicago too. But most stores operate basically the same way so probs not
I'm a black girl and Barbie had me militant as hell afterwards😂 especially Gloria's monologue I was in tears and furious for like 10 consecutive business days💀 So Caitlyn here doesn't think we're stupid, I didn't share all the details of what happened after because, who cares? It's a comedic comment.
Josh is just so pretty. His skin and smile and those delicate hands. He's so funny while never being mean spirited. A kind of comedy angel. And yes, I know that sounds like some weird hyperbole.
Why did I laugh at "So I was constantly in danger"? That wry delivery is just so damn funny, but I don't want this man in danger, Josh Johnson is a national treasure!
I am loving all the new content being released on the regular. As I live overseas, this is the closest I get to seeing Josh live and in person. Great job, dude!
Wish I could relate, but even being nearly homeless as an adult does not compare to the intense soul-crushing stress of my childhood. Adulting is the best thing ever and nobody can change my mind.
Hi, I don't know your situation, but I hope this helps: There's a behavioral psychologist on RU-vid named Patrick Teahan. His videos are hard to watch and the work is hard. To be honest, I can only do it once a month. But MAN, is he effective! I'm slowly healing, and being my own parent. There's also a neuroscientist who has a channel called Therapy in a nutshell. Those 2, comedy and kindness are very powerful. So glad we're not children anymore. I wish you well.
I agree! Wow I never hear anyone else say this but you couldn't pay me to go back to my childhood. It was the most unsafe I've ever felt. Ran away at 17 and even living in a boarding house and working at a pizzeria for $1 an hour was better because I was in control of my own life. I worry about people who wish they could return to childhood, the more I get my life in order, the better it gets, I love that. ❤
I don't think the pigeon story is crazy. In Finland is where I first noticed birds are militarized. They have a captain, 2nd in command and squadrons. The commander calls out to the squadrons when to go after people with food. They are highly organized!
Can I tell you how I felt "Naps don't help when your soul is tired" all up and through my spirit! My soul is so tired. Thank you for putting words to what I was feeling. #comedyistherapy
This is the third clip I’ve seen from Josh. Somebody out there in entertainment land needs to give Josh a lot more exposure. This is really rich and insightful storytelling. Good work, Josh!
Bro is just dropping bombshell after bombshell. I've never seen a comedian hone themselves and their craft this quickly. Bound for greatness if he keeps this up.
Montessori school. Nap time. Trips to discovery zone when the teacher was sleepy. Being the first kid there every Monday morning and having to go to the pet store with the principal to pick the Guinea pig who most resembled the one who tried to swim in the toilet over the weekend (side note: Guinea pigs can’t swim). Good times!
Josh usually makes me laugh so much I replay his sets. Like I'm still replaying his Craigslist jokes and laughing, and that was years ago. That last bit was so funny it's going to replay.
Damn, I think me and Josh might be the same person. I also graduated with a design degree and I'm currently working as a manager at grocery store with some weird ass regulars, in the Chicagoland area.
Totally brought back memories of "nap time" I didnt know what that was at first and totally recall that was the most scariest time of the day. You never knew what the other kids might do
Pigeon man could’ve gotten vindictive. Imagine a parking lot full of pigeons just power shitting on rude dude’s head, groceries and car. Dude got off light.
I just love Josh Johnson! I love everything about his set! His delivery, the casualness of his voice, i live his look, he’s got IT! I expect HUGE things out of him!
I don't understand comedic styles very well so I have no idea why i find him so hypnotizing. I thought it's just bc he cute but the comment section praising his skills made me rethink, maybe he just is amazing
To be fair he was already funny, but as a writer. But he worked on the Daily Show, so got tips from Trevor Noah, Roy Wood, Rony Cheng, and Lewis Black. Originally he was a super shy guy who worked backstage. But Dolce Sloan catfished him into doing a podcast with her. They'd pick polar opposite takes on what should be very minor issues like spaghetti vs lasagne or mittens vs gloves and an hour later you're wanting more even though the completely exhausted the topic lol.
Josh you're doing an excellent job. I saw you on way up and started following your RU-vid. I follow you on FB and IG for a while. I love your laid back, easy going delivery. Don't rebrand too much, I almost fainted when you used the n word 😆 💕
Naps don't help when your soul is tired is something a kid says that is here from a prior life. There is definitely an old man that got reincarnated into that kid.
You're a Montessori baby!! Why haven't I seen more material on Montessori v traditional schooling from you??! I have a boatload, and I'm not even doing stand up! 😂😅
