@@staomruel It was John Oliver and it was about the Dalai Lama going to a pizza place and saying, "Can you make me one with everything?". Such a great joke and wildly disappointing that he didn't get it lol
He didn't get it because the western weird ass view of Buddhism is not the same as the actual Asian religion. Americans are extremely offensive about Buddhism most of the time, and seem to think that it is ok to mock it in a way they would never treat another religion. And yes, it has rules & prohibitions & you do not get to decide your own path, there is the same set of proscriptive rules that every major religion has. Also the one-ness is part of their world view, he cannot comprehend the idea of not being in oneness with the universe so it would be like making a joke about duality to us. We only know duality so there isn't much to discuss. Buddhists raised in that culture only know oneness, so it's hard for them to see a joke about it.
The boys blowing up urinals and messing up bathrooms was very likely a trend called “devious licks.” The idea is that a student steals or vandalizes something from/at school. I teach middle school, and we had a terrible problem with that one. The wild thing is these kids videoed it and shared it on social media, often with the public. We caught so many of them because they shared it on social media, and admin somehow eventually got the video! People talk about being worried about this generation for various stupid reasons, but I’m worried that so many were dumb enough to do that.
It's almost like they don't make the connection because they are so comfortable being filmed. I was born in the 80's... being on ANY camera is STILL a big deal to me. I DO enjoy taking pictures of my cooking, though. THAT is something I DO want evidence of.😃 Also...what is the punishment in school for blowing up a whole toilet?! Like, damn!
Nah, if you think about it for a couple minutes, you'll remember we knew plenty of kids just as dumb. The difference is we didn't have a high res camera in our pocket 24/7 and high speed internet everywhere we went. The smart kids are still either staying out of trouble or at least not leaving a clear trail of documentation to themselves. If anything, it's probably easier to avoid getting caught now, because it's easier to be invisible when everyone else is so visible and busy looking at each other.
It was such a problem we ended up putting cages over our soap and paper towel dispensers. When that didn't work, we ended up keeping all but a couple bathrooms locked for most of the day. It sucked. For the kids, I mean. I work there and have a key to the staff bathrooms so... get wrecked, you little shits.
I sure enjoy watching as Josh’s comedy gets better and better. I sincerely believe he’s the best up-and-coming comic of his generation. He has the wisdom of an old soul.
@@AConquerorsVendetta Agree with the OP on this one. Josh Johnson is the best up and coming comedian of his and Taylor Tomlinson’s generation. They’re only a few yrs apart in age -Josh is 34 and Taylor Tomlinson’s 31. +Taylor’s already famous. She’s no longer up and coming, not with 3 Netflix specials and having done the late night rounds. Now Netflix needs to wake up and give Josh Johnson a special. Glad he has his UA-cam channel, and he’s not behind any paywalls this way.🙂

@@kittyspodos unfortunately the majority of students aren't licking anything, most of the students complaining about not having access to bathrooms are not the five or ten kids who think devious licks are the coolest thing.

I haven't been to church in a long while, by intent. But I realize my religious conditioning may be why I enjoy tuning in to JJ. Folks have wondered how he's able to come up with new material weekly, commenting in a timely manner on all matter of social trends, as a comic. But there is a profession that's expected to provide sociohistorical background to contemporary events as a service their community on a weekly basis. And turn out bangers that are as entertaining as they are informative. Thank you brother Johnson for the word you brought to us today on suffering and mindfulness. Amen!
I've honestly never attended a church where your description would be apt. I've tried quite a few over my many years, but gave up 10-12 years ago... I honestly think if I'd found a church that was socially aware and obviously gave a frick (beyond occasional food pantries) I may have stuck around. One place I left specifically BECAUSE they were so insulated from social reality. They had plans to expand, not an immediate need by their own statements but a "growth mentality". That was 15ish years ago, and there was the economic recession hitting HARD. Their ONLY response was to increase the pressure to donate and commit to the specific building project! I brought up what was going on, and all the GOOD that could be done with that money. The pastor's response was incredibly disappointing... still feel my skin crawl remembering it. Talk about ENTITLED... Soooo... yeah. I tried a couple other places after that, but... Oh well. Sorry for the ramble 😂 Ya got me thinking though - I wonder if there's a GOOD one around, that would accept ME.... 🤔 (there's a lot of self-segregation here, and the churches that are NOT out of touch and privileged af are, I think, kinda... a "photo negative" of me, to quote Christopher Titus😅)
You tried friend. The fact that youre so pressed about human suffering and church apathy makes you a better Christian than many Christians. ❤praying with you and for churches to do so much better@KOKO-uu7yd
Try a lutheran church. Mine wasnt too bad, but seeing all the other churches around sure turned me against religion early 😅 Their whole thing was they split off because of corruption and bribing your sins away, among other things, Martin luther was branded a heretic and an outlaw. The tithe is optional.@@KOKO-uu7yd
im still in highschool and memes are starting to speed up around me so fast I'm already falling behind I can feel my cells dying is this what millennials felt in 2011
Memes almost got us the end of all Republican/Democrat political corruption in 2015. But then news pages and Facebook and comment sections from everywhere started taking off the meme-posting ability. Memes have been a part of politics for centuries. It’s not a new thing from the internet. Save the memes. ❤ And Facebook started deleted entire anti-corruption Facebook pages and they started deleting all recorded evidences of Republicans and Democrats being corrupted. (I screen-recorded some evidence). The day they take away screenshot and screen-recording capabilities, is the day we all need to blow the peaceful whistle on corruption and demand thousands of investigations.

For the guys the don’t understand why we ate the demure video up so fast is because she was comically mocking the “clean girls” on tik tok that speak like that and act like they’re doing something so elegant and ✨demure✨ when they’re just condescending and stuck up.
I gave myself a black eye on a bedframe once and my friends basically threw an intervention because they thought my boyfriend did it. And I can understand their concern because "I slammed my face into a bedframe" sounds like a horrible excuse. (I was at a hotel and it was one of those really tall, fancy bedframes.) But I remember the whole thing so clearly because I was pleading with them, "No, I swear, I'm not making excuses for him. I'm just a dumbass." That joke made me realize that I am not alone. Thank you. 🤣 (It was technically the footboard but it was for exactly the reason that you said. I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and didn't turn any lights on. I tried crawling back into bed and...SMASH. Although, my boyfriend did laugh hysterically, so maybe I don't feel so bad that my friends didn't trust him after that.)
I was on the other side of that relationship once. My GF at the time managed to trip over nothing and while flailing hit herself in the eye. Whenever we went out, people gave me dirty looks. We would laugh about it, but I thought I was going to get beaten by dudes a couple times.
Happened to my mom after she had surgery under her eye. After, it looked like a black eye. WHAT DID DAD DO???? I shrieked when I saw her. Was about to fight my old man! 😂
Try taking your 2 year old daughter out in public, including a trip to the Drs... Who you told to sit down in the bath because standing up is dangerous... She slips, hits the area above her eye on the spout, wakes up the next day with an absolute shiner. Yes, that was fun!
Ohmygooooosh!!! I’m the same way 😂 my brother was ready for battle in elementary school because I had a black eye and I slipped in and hit the corner of my eye on the sink 😂 but when I explained he said “ that sounds about right “ and to this day I still keep finding myself in situations where I kick my own ass.
In Thailand it's common for young men to be monks for a year or two. This brings honor to their family. They don't necessarily want to be monks and most aren't planning to be a monk for life. The meth monks were a small group of young men.
@@apcolleenno… it’s not. For foreigners, maybe more a lesson to not generalize large groups of people (even if they are self-selecting) & remember monks are human!
Yeah, Thailand is fairly unique in that young men are often forced to do it, for better and for worse. In other countries where it's 100% voluntary and a lifelong commitment rather than a summer camp, there is obviously *much* less "popping off" :)

Historically there have been a lot of militant buddhist sects in Asia. During the feudal-era civil wars of Japan they'd often pick a side suddenly and show up to battles and start wrecking factions they didn't like.
I found out about Jools from RuPaul guest-hosting Kimmel last night. I knew I could count on getting the full picture from Josh Johnson, the hardest working comedian and newsperson out here killing it these days.
This is the first time I'm listening to Josh's improv shows, and I just love his style of storytelling. Treating it like a conversation, building up his stories in such a compelling (and demure and mindful) way. He truly has taken the art of comedy to another level, I know you won't see this but keep it up man.
The actual but lesser known definition of nirvana is the perfect and flawless end to suffering, which is mind-blowing if you take two seconds to think about it, because of the finality of it and because it's subsumes all of the problems. Shit is clutch.
I appreciate you for being my trusted news source I love me some JoshNN! I dont use tiktok and my internet use is reserved for anime, standup comedy, podcasts, and Kendrick Lamar reaction videos so its nice to know that I can always drop in on JoshNN to stay connected to the rest of the world
I needed your humorous wisdom tonight for courage. I had to cancel a singing gig because I have covid, and I geared myself up to quarantine more by watching a bunch of scary movies. Then at 4 AM, I realized I needed to walk outside to the mailbox and was like I need Josh to help me open the door in the dark. So thanks for that.
This was one of my favorites. I love the bit about Buddhist monks. I spent time in Thailand and even went to a retreat at one of the temples. I did see how things could go wrong there. I love how you merged it with the demure and mindful story. Fantastic as usual.
Haven't gotten to that part of the video yet but many everyday people go to those monasteries for 2 reasons: 1. Kind of a national service with a spiritual base for young people post school. They tell me its not required but you won't really be seen as marriage material/responsible adult if you don't do it. 2. Many people go and stay for awhile for things like after a divorce or addiction rehab. Those times you need to regroup, uplift, and heal... It seems nice because people don't need to hit bottom or have insurance if they feel their lives are going down these paths. But my point is they wear robes and are called "monks" but are not the more enlightened ordained leadership. Just based on this I'd assume people from other cultures would lump them into one, not many everyday people attempting to navigate their life transitions in a solid way. But I think there are posers in every religion that need to heal from being posers.
@@linmonash1244 lol no! Jackass was a series of movies that came out in the 2000s where a group of men would do absolutely stupid stunts. Like. Shoot one of them out of a canon or, as Josh said, one of the guys would go up behind their friend and kick him in the balls. None of these men were professionals or stunt men or anything like that. They were just every day dudes. (They got featured on Shark Week for the last couple of years, and one of their people actually got bit by a shark, if that tells you anything about their antics). Before TikTok, InstaGram, Vine and when UA-cam was a different website (used to be a place where people would share these more “home video” styled videos than the type of content it hosts today) Gen X and Millennials would use video cameras/camcorders to record ourselves doing whatever stupid shit we were getting into as preteens/teens lol. Because this took place in the days pre-internet/before the internet became an invasion of personal privacy (ie people treating social media like it’s their own personal diary, and the internet was seen as this weird, niche thing to chronically use) a lot of the stuff us Gen X & Millennials recorded is still on some physical VHS/DVD/chip somewhere lmao! Basically the Jackass franchise represented the interests of a generation of young boys lmao! I guess they could be like “Influencers” before that was a thing- if “Influencers” filmed themselves head butting a beehive to get some laughs from their friends and had 0 interest in actually selling you anything 😂🤣
@@linmonash1244 "Jackass" was an American television show in which white male teenagers (or young adults who would subsequently never grow past teen mentality) hurt themselves and each other in increasingly imaginative, usually crude ways. It seems to me like a precursor to alpha-male internet culture, and something a lot of American kids injured themselves copying at home in the 90's and early 2000's
They don't know what demure means if bringing pastries to work is their definition! I can see this going wrong so fast - demure is one step away from tradwife. I was told my entire childhood and adolescence (in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community) that a good Jewish girl is demure, meaning stays hidden and silent.
Agree completely @dainybernstein4751 Demure also meant submitting to male authority. Putting their needs above your own. It also could mean dressing "modestly" which controls our bodies and puts the responsibility of other men's thoughts and actions onto the woman. No tradwife! We're not going back! Vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in November for freedom!
the creator jools has made videos about how the “very demure, very mindful” is 100% her dunking on herself and most (if not all) the things she says are not demure are things she has done irl (like wearing lime green eye shadow on her first day of work)
Demure most definitely dinnae mean 'hidden' and 'silent'. Demure represents reserved, modest, shy, mature. Or basically, demure. If you grew up with it, no one needs to explain the definition. Proper etiquette would dictate all people behave demurely.
Jamaican girl, here. Same here. Demure is the law for us...lol. In traditional Rastafarian culture, the women STILL do not wear pants in public. But it is more of an expression of "feminine divinity" ...a little less "be a lady". I even took etiquette classes in school😁 (yes...they have that in America!lol) ....I say, you gotta learn the rules if you wanna break them! 💅🏾
One time I was at a friend's house and someone came to pick us up. I walk up to the passenger door and open it, asking the passenger to get out so I can get in. I bent down and pulled the seat forward and hit the recline lever to lean the seatback over the dashboard. The driver got out and yelled at my friend "WTF?!" and as I stood up and put one leg into the car, I realized everyone was looking at me like there was a payness growing out of my forehead. I ducked and got into the car and slid over behind the driver. My friend opened the back door of the car and sat down next to me. He slid over to me, squishing me and tickling me whilst cackling with the other guys about how high I was. It wasn't until we pulled off and turned around in the cul de sac that I squealed WAIT THIS CAR IS A FOUR DOOR?! 🤦🏼♀️ Ahhh, to be 16...
I’m a psychiatric nurse. Often times I feel like I’m literally drowning from all the bullshit life throws at us, while trying to keep my head on straight at work. “YO STAND UP” will always be a funny story/saying to help me out going forward. Actually brought me to tears after cackling. Thaaaanks!!
Josh, you're my favourite new comedian I've found. First saw you on The Daily Show and laughed my ass off, now the UA-cam algo threw up your channel and I'm laughing my ass off again. I love your style, and you timing, and the substance of your content - all on point. If you ever do a show in New Zealand I'll be there. Much love.
As a Thai person, the turn of topic to those buddhist monks definitely got me on the ground laughing. Oh, they have been really baaaaad. 🤣🤣🤣 Not demure or mindful at all. Wonderful set as always, Josh.
I have been in 1 knockdown thrown down brawl and it was an unprovoked fight with a couple monks, I won’t say what region. I am talking full on brawl and any items such as a sewer lid or otherwise heavy objects came into play. It was a pretty surreal and crazy escalation on an afternoon meeting coworkers, out of the blue. Anyway afterwards we drank some beers together and they invited us to visit the monastery, region and families to show the hospitality and good nature.
I'm a 47 year old white guy from Ohio and I've considered myself a philosophical Buddhist for 40 years. The 4 noble truths and the 8 fold path just made sense to me, but I'm also a child of Capitalism and 40 years later I still struggle with desire, and the suffering it brings.
Josh is making a good point about how most humans are drawn to practical jokes that hurt and cause shame. The Old Candid Camera was great, no one got hurt and even the jokee was laughing.
Some-people become a monk only for the benefit, living of donations, some act like a mega church pastor, preaching the wrong message to trick people in to giving them money, Some even create a spin-off cult and do all sort of evil stuff. It's quite a big on-going problem in Thailand.
My sister 'became' a Buddhist, changed her name and decided she was far more spiritually 'superior' to everyone else in the family, and most everyone else as well. { She was - and still is- all about 'being superior'} After quite a while, of putting up with her and her shenanigans, and her chronic freeloading ( they must have been VERY patient ) they actually threw her out! The final straw, allegedly, was something to do with setting herself up as some kind of 'wise expert' and selling 'teachings'. It was explained to her that these were free teachings to the public and not for profiteering... Which she was quite outraged about. "What! We can beg - but not make a business?!? How DARE they tell me what NOT to do!" Years of Spiritual teachings and none of it sunk in.
That pool thing was so funny. I was actually drowning in a lake at summer camp and my friends had a similar reaction. Like, is she drowning? I think she’s drowning.😂
Buddhism is a practice, not a religion. It is basically a moral compass to live by and being able to find peace within yourself. I get the philosophical meaning behind it. I found it years ago following a really traumatic event in my life and it changed me in such a positive way.
A religion is a set of practices that serve a spiritual or specific purpose, usually related to philosophy, self acceptance, well being, & mindfulness. It may or may not involve a god. Buddhism is a religion
As someone who is Hindu, the religion The Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was born into and followed during his life - Dharmic religions are still religions. Yes, it's a way of life and it guides how we live but that's in essence what a religion is. I've noticed ex-Abrahamic religion followers are so burnt by their religion that when they turn to Dharmic faiths they go "this isn't a religion it's a way of life" which discredits the practices and beliefs we follow. As if only Abrahamic faiths are religions no one else's faith is a religion. I get it from a trauma point of view but it's also very colonialist and makes many of very upset because we've dealt with generations of westerners misconstruing our faiths and what they mean in essence and constantly compare them to their definitions of what God, religion, etc mean when we are completely separate and different from the Abrahamic religions.
@@panjabipanditPart of that may have to do with the fact that (at least in the case of Buddhism) there is contemplative value even without its supernatural components. It's possible to conclude that self-cherishing is at the root of all suffering without having to believe in reincarnation. It's more difficult to find a practical application in some of the Abrahamic lessons. For example, sometimes you may be asked to sacrifice a child to appease the architect of the universe. But don't worry, it's just a test.
@@panjabipandit i appreciate your honesty. It comes from a place of truth and i apologize if how i feel in some way offends you. After reading your very educational response, i will be rethinking how i classify (for lack of a better word) my beliefs and spirituality.
Wait until Josh learns about Cottagecore. Also, when you’re shadow boxing in your head, you’re not fighting your partner, you’re fighting the core negative image of your partner, how you believe them to be at their worst. So of course they win the imaginary fights. They have an unfair advantage in your head 😅

Yes! And my big brother who was into bomb making! { see what happens when you teach boys chemistry!!!) asked me which classes I wanted to get out of in High School. So I told him Math Exams. He said; "No problem!" So, I said; "Yippee!", and didn't study, and he rigged up a box with a ticking clock and tubes and wires and stuff inside - that looked like the real deal. Told me to go hide it in the teachers toilet just before the exam time - which I dutifully did. And then he called the school with the bomb threat, and all the Alarms sounded, and we all filed out to stand for a couple of hours on the the oval. Which wasn't quite so smart - as it was raining. But still thrilling to see a whole pile of Police cars roar up! Also, should have paid more attention to math as 2 + 2 DO make 4 - eventually, and they simply rescheduled the damn exam... -_-

Americans are extremely offensive about Buddhism most of the time, and seem to think that it is ok to mock it in a way they would never treat another religion. And yes, it has rules & prohibitions & you do not get to decide your own path, there is the same set of proscriptive rules that every major religion has. Also the one-ness is part of their world view, he cannot comprehend the idea of not being in oneness with the universe so it would be like making a joke about duality to us. We only know duality so there isn't much to discuss. Buddhists raised in that culture only know oneness, so it's hard for them to see a joke about it.
The boys blowing up urinals and messing up bathrooms was very likely a trend called “devious licks.” The idea is that a student steals or vandalizes something from/at school. I teach middle school, and we had a terrible problem with that one.
The wild thing is these kids videoed it and shared it on social media, often with the public. We caught so many of them because they shared it on social media, and admin somehow eventually got the video!
People talk about being worried about this generation for various stupid reasons, but I’m worried that so many were dumb enough to do that.
Im so glad I was the last generation to grow up without social media, these kids don't understand of not self incriminating themselves😅.
It's almost like they don't make the connection because they are so comfortable being filmed. I was born in the 80's... being on ANY camera is STILL a big deal to me. I DO enjoy taking pictures of my cooking, though. THAT is something I DO want evidence of.😃
Also...what is the punishment in school for blowing up a whole toilet?! Like, damn!
Nah, if you think about it for a couple minutes, you'll remember we knew plenty of kids just as dumb. The difference is we didn't have a high res camera in our pocket 24/7 and high speed internet everywhere we went. The smart kids are still either staying out of trouble or at least not leaving a clear trail of documentation to themselves.
If anything, it's probably easier to avoid getting caught now, because it's easier to be invisible when everyone else is so visible and busy looking at each other.
It was such a problem we ended up putting cages over our soap and paper towel dispensers. When that didn't work, we ended up keeping all but a couple bathrooms locked for most of the day.
It sucked. For the kids, I mean. I work there and have a key to the staff bathrooms so... get wrecked, you little shits.
Seems like Gen Z and Alpha are even more neglected than we were
I sure enjoy watching as Josh’s comedy gets better and better.
I sincerely believe he’s the best up-and-coming comic of his generation.
He has the wisdom of an old soul.
He's the best guy for sure, check out Taylor Tomlinson if you want the best in the current generation 😁
@@AConquerorsVendetta Agree with the OP on this one. Josh Johnson is the best up and coming comedian of his and Taylor Tomlinson’s generation. They’re only a few yrs apart in age -Josh is 34 and Taylor Tomlinson’s 31. +Taylor’s already famous. She’s no longer up and coming, not with 3 Netflix specials and having done the late night rounds. Now Netflix needs to wake up and give Josh Johnson a special. Glad he has his UA-cam channel, and he’s not behind any paywalls this way.🙂
He’s not in the Joe Rogan friend group of comedians which puts him head, shoulders, knees and toes above that group.
concur
He does doesn't he,‽
I love how Josh feels like a cross between a Comedian and a philosopher while bullcrapping with nostalgia. Awesome talent, love seeing him on the Daily Show too.
Josh hitting pop culture topics as they happen is wild. Dude working is Ah off.
He is, without a doubt, the top storyteller, the top improv storyteller, in the world today.
@@edwardallenthree I know it’s a hell of a long shot, but I hope he becomes the host of the Daily Show. This show is a perfect example. He gives me the same feeling that Trevor Noah used to.
@@sgrey9181Maybe you knew it, but Gabriel Iglesias (Fluffy) supported Trevor Noah to shine as a comedian - later on, Trevor Noah supported Josh Johnson on his way :D I follow Josh since he showed up on yt, also I am from Bosnia 😆 far away land
So much movement it helps honestly
This dude is the news reporter. He never fails on keeping us updated on current events.
I dont watch mainstream news because its all theatre but I would watch His news show because it would be relevant!

Rubber banding
Hawk tuah is demure, compared to the arguement you get from someone who frowns on the practice. "i'd never do that" which is the damn problem lolz
She really sucked that off in a demure and mindful way.
Ooooooo someone was paying attention 😂😂😂😂
Josh is the epitome or DEMURE & MINDFUL! 😅 I got to see him in person in ATL & it was an amazing experience. Josh was incredibly humble & thankful taking the time to take pictures with everyone. ❤ Can’t wait for him to come back!
He did the same for his Detroit show, took the time to meet and greet everyone. I'm just so impressed that he comes out with fresh content constantly while doing so many shows and also the meet and greets.
As a teacher, I can certify devious licks were so real two years ago. Some kid stole the whole sink
I have...so many questions???😅😅
The craziest thing to me is that they are still breaking the bathrooms?! Like why??? They then complain about only have one bathroom still availble because the vandalism and destruction that needs to get fixed @MewKage13
@@kittyspodos unfortunately the majority of students aren't licking anything, most of the students complaining about not having access to bathrooms are not the five or ten kids who think devious licks are the coolest thing. Those are the kids who don't need a bathroom to use the bathroom.

Much Love!!!
Over an hour from drop and nearly a hundred people waiting. We all live for Josh's take on the hot gossip and he knows it

I haven't been to church in a long while, by intent. But I realize my religious conditioning may be why I enjoy tuning in to JJ. Folks have wondered how he's able to come up with new material weekly, commenting in a timely manner on all matter of social trends, as a comic. But there is a profession that's expected to provide sociohistorical background to contemporary events as a service their community on a weekly basis. And turn out bangers that are as entertaining as they are informative. Thank you brother Johnson for the word you brought to us today on suffering and mindfulness. Amen!
beautiful comparison 👏🏽
Amen
I've honestly never attended a church where your description would be apt. I've tried quite a few over my many years, but gave up 10-12 years ago...
I honestly think if I'd found a church that was socially aware and obviously gave a frick (beyond occasional food pantries) I may have stuck around. One place I left specifically BECAUSE they were so insulated from social reality. They had plans to expand, not an immediate need by their own statements but a "growth mentality". That was 15ish years ago, and there was the economic recession hitting HARD. Their ONLY response was to increase the pressure to donate and commit to the specific building project! I brought up what was going on, and all the GOOD that could be done with that money. The pastor's response was incredibly disappointing... still feel my skin crawl remembering it. Talk about ENTITLED...
Soooo... yeah. I tried a couple other places after that, but...
Oh well.
Sorry for the ramble 😂 Ya got me thinking though - I wonder if there's a GOOD one around, that would accept ME.... 🤔 (there's a lot of self-segregation here, and the churches that are NOT out of touch and privileged af are, I think, kinda... a "photo negative" of me, to quote Christopher Titus😅)
You tried friend. The fact that youre so pressed about human suffering and church apathy makes you a better Christian than many Christians. ❤praying with you and for churches to do so much better@KOKO-uu7yd
Try a lutheran church. Mine wasnt too bad, but seeing all the other churches around sure turned me against religion early 😅 Their whole thing was they split off because of corruption and bribing your sins away, among other things, Martin luther was branded a heretic and an outlaw. The tithe is optional.@@KOKO-uu7yd
The consistency on these topics is insane

Yes but also, it is okay to fall behind in trends. Adulthood is pretty cool despite the fact that I am not cool 😎
As a millennial, yes.

And Facebook started deleted entire anti-corruption Facebook pages and they started deleting all recorded evidences of Republicans and Democrats being corrupted.

Did we just see a set on the four noble truths?? 😂😂 Honestly it’s great watching someone so good at what they do, so great at what they do, pump out such quality material so frequently. It’s inspiring. We’re watching a genius in the making, love it.
Came for the demure explanation, stayed to learn about Buddhism. Absolutely incredible set as always Josh
For the guys the don’t understand why we ate the demure video up so fast is because she was comically mocking the “clean girls” on tik tok that speak like that and act like they’re doing something so elegant and ✨demure✨ when they’re just condescending and stuck up.
This is an important aspect of the trend people rarely bring up. There was a layer of irony to it that gets ignored
I gave myself a black eye on a bedframe once and my friends basically threw an intervention because they thought my boyfriend did it. And I can understand their concern because "I slammed my face into a bedframe" sounds like a horrible excuse. (I was at a hotel and it was one of those really tall, fancy bedframes.) But I remember the whole thing so clearly because I was pleading with them, "No, I swear, I'm not making excuses for him. I'm just a dumbass."
That joke made me realize that I am not alone. Thank you. 🤣
(It was technically the footboard but it was for exactly the reason that you said. I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and didn't turn any lights on. I tried crawling back into bed and...SMASH. Although, my boyfriend did laugh hysterically, so maybe I don't feel so bad that my friends didn't trust him after that.)
I was on the other side of that relationship once. My GF at the time managed to trip over nothing and while flailing hit herself in the eye. Whenever we went out, people gave me dirty looks.
We would laugh about it, but I thought I was going to get beaten by dudes a couple times.
Happened to my mom after she had surgery under her eye. After, it looked like a black eye. WHAT DID DAD DO???? I shrieked when I saw her. Was about to fight my old man! 😂
Try taking your 2 year old daughter out in public, including a trip to the Drs... Who you told to sit down in the bath because standing up is dangerous... She slips, hits the area above her eye on the spout, wakes up the next day with an absolute shiner. Yes, that was fun!
Ohmygooooosh!!! I’m the same way 😂 my brother was ready for battle in elementary school because I had a black eye and I slipped in and hit the corner of my eye on the sink 😂 but when I explained he said “ that sounds about right “ and to this day I still keep finding myself in situations where I kick my own ass.
Yooo, the amount of times I busted my eye and upper lip as a child jumping off furniture no wonder they called CPS 😂
In Thailand it's common for young men to be monks for a year or two. This brings honor to their family. They don't necessarily want to be monks and most aren't planning to be a monk for life. The meth monks were a small group of young men.
It's like enshitification of religion.
@@apcolleenno… it’s not. For foreigners, maybe more a lesson to not generalize large groups of people (even if they are self-selecting) & remember monks are human!
Yeah, Thailand is fairly unique in that young men are often forced to do it, for better and for worse. In other countries where it's 100% voluntary and a lifelong commitment rather than a summer camp, there is obviously *much* less "popping off" :)
There are weekly scandals about monks. Either stealing money, meth or pdf file behaviour and physical abuse. Sadly it's not a one off.
@@sophief1996 Though I definitely agree, it’s not just a foreigner thing to make/ believe big generalizations and stereotypes about a sad number of certain groups of people.

Christ the craftsmanship of this whole standup session should be shown in schools
He's so casual about it that it seems unplanned, but then it all comes together and you realize it's very carefully crafted. He's great 😊
Josh could teach a Masterclass of how to run a comedy set. His craftsmanship is otherworldly!
Actually, there's suffering in the bad AND the good, because the bad feels like it's going to last forever and the good is actually temporary
And there's the rub. For Buddhists, EVERYTHING on this plane of existence is transistory and impermanent.
I’m just picturing a temple of Buddhist monks sitting there with little notebooks taking notes while somebody shows them demure TikTok’s and gotta say that’s the funniest visual I’ve had in a while

Historically there have been a lot of militant buddhist sects in Asia. During the feudal-era civil wars of Japan they'd often pick a side suddenly and show up to battles and start wrecking factions they didn't like.
Thanks for keeping me updated about the demure trend. I didn’t know about it till now.
I just heard it last night. Rue Paul was guest hosting Jimmy Kimmel. It was hilarious.
I heard it yesterday four times for the first time from various unrelated content creators.
Well, now you'll notice everywhere
Josh is on the pulse of pop culture and it’s honestly amazing
I found out about Jools from RuPaul guest-hosting Kimmel last night. I knew I could count on getting the full picture from Josh Johnson, the hardest working comedian and newsperson out here killing it these days.
This is the first time I'm listening to Josh's improv shows, and I just love his style of storytelling. Treating it like a conversation, building up his stories in such a compelling (and demure and mindful) way. He truly has taken the art of comedy to another level, I know you won't see this but keep it up man.
You mentioning the shadow box fighting happened when I was in fact havin one of those moments. Caught me in the act.
The actual but lesser known definition of nirvana is the perfect and flawless end to suffering, which is mind-blowing if you take two seconds to think about it, because of the finality of it and because it's subsumes all of the problems. Shit is clutch.

I needed your humorous wisdom tonight for courage. I had to cancel a singing gig because I have covid, and I geared myself up to quarantine more by watching a bunch of scary movies. Then at 4 AM, I realized I needed to walk outside to the mailbox and was like I need Josh to help me open the door in the dark. So thanks for that.

This was one of my favorites. I love the bit about Buddhist monks. I spent time in Thailand and even went to a retreat at one of the temples. I did see how things could go wrong there. I love how you merged it with the demure and mindful story. Fantastic as usual.
Haven't gotten to that part of the video yet but many everyday people go to those monasteries for 2 reasons:
1. Kind of a national service with a spiritual base for young people post school. They tell me its not required but you won't really be seen as marriage material/responsible adult if you don't do it.
2. Many people go and stay for awhile for things like after a divorce or addiction rehab. Those times you need to regroup, uplift, and heal... It seems nice because people don't need to hit bottom or have insurance if they feel their lives are going down these paths.
But my point is they wear robes and are called "monks" but are not the more enlightened ordained leadership.
Just based on this I'd assume people from other cultures would lump them into one, not many everyday people attempting to navigate their life transitions in a solid way.
But I think there are posers in every religion that need to heal from being posers.
"we all did jackass btw, they just sat around and became home movies" 💯💯💯💯🤣🤣😥😥
Lmaoooooooo so true!! Forgot about those days 😂🤣
I've never hear of JackAss. Did Josh say it was your 'friends' who did this!?!
@@linmonash1244 lol no! Jackass was a series of movies that came out in the 2000s where a group of men would do absolutely stupid stunts. Like. Shoot one of them out of a canon or, as Josh said, one of the guys would go up behind their friend and kick him in the balls. None of these men were professionals or stunt men or anything like that. They were just every day dudes. (They got featured on Shark Week for the last couple of years, and one of their people actually got bit by a shark, if that tells you anything about their antics).
Before TikTok, InstaGram, Vine and when UA-cam was a different website (used to be a place where people would share these more “home video” styled videos than the type of content it hosts today) Gen X and Millennials would use video cameras/camcorders to record ourselves doing whatever stupid shit we were getting into as preteens/teens lol. Because this took place in the days pre-internet/before the internet became an invasion of personal privacy (ie people treating social media like it’s their own personal diary, and the internet was seen as this weird, niche thing to chronically use) a lot of the stuff us Gen X & Millennials recorded is still on some physical VHS/DVD/chip somewhere lmao!
Basically the Jackass franchise represented the interests of a generation of young boys lmao! I guess they could be like “Influencers” before that was a thing- if “Influencers” filmed themselves head butting a beehive to get some laughs from their friends and had 0 interest in actually selling you anything 😂🤣
@@linmonash1244 "Jackass" was an American television show in which white male teenagers (or young adults who would subsequently never grow past teen mentality) hurt themselves and each other in increasingly imaginative, usually crude ways.

They don't know what demure means if bringing pastries to work is their definition! I can see this going wrong so fast - demure is one step away from tradwife. I was told my entire childhood and adolescence (in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community) that a good Jewish girl is demure, meaning stays hidden and silent.
Agree completely @dainybernstein4751 Demure also meant submitting to male authority. Putting their needs above your own. It also could mean dressing "modestly" which controls our bodies and puts the responsibility of other men's thoughts and actions onto the woman.
No tradwife! We're not going back! Vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in November for freedom!
the creator jools has made videos about how the “very demure, very mindful” is 100% her dunking on herself and most (if not all) the things she says are not demure are things she has done irl (like wearing lime green eye shadow on her first day of work)
💯💯
Demure most definitely dinnae mean 'hidden' and 'silent'. Demure represents reserved, modest, shy, mature. Or basically, demure. If you grew up with it, no one needs to explain the definition. Proper etiquette would dictate all people behave demurely.
Jamaican girl, here. Same here. Demure is the law for us...lol. In traditional Rastafarian culture, the women STILL do not wear pants in public. But it is more of an expression of "feminine divinity" ...a little less "be a lady". I even took etiquette classes in school😁 (yes...they have that in America!lol) ....I say, you gotta learn the rules if you wanna break them! 💅🏾
One time I was at a friend's house and someone came to pick us up. I walk up to the passenger door and open it, asking the passenger to get out so I can get in. I bent down and pulled the seat forward and hit the recline lever to lean the seatback over the dashboard. The driver got out and yelled at my friend "WTF?!" and as I stood up and put one leg into the car, I realized everyone was looking at me like there was a payness growing out of my forehead. I ducked and got into the car and slid over behind the driver. My friend opened the back door of the car and sat down next to me. He slid over to me, squishing me and tickling me whilst cackling with the other guys about how high I was. It wasn't until we pulled off and turned around in the cul de sac that I squealed WAIT THIS CAR IS A FOUR DOOR?! 🤦🏼♀️ Ahhh, to be 16...

I have been in 1 knockdown thrown down brawl and it was an unprovoked fight with a couple monks, I won’t say what region. I am talking full on brawl and any items such as a sewer lid or otherwise heavy objects came into play. It was a pretty surreal and crazy escalation on an afternoon meeting coworkers, out of the blue. Anyway afterwards we drank some beers together and they invited us to visit the monastery, region and families to show the hospitality and good nature.

Josh is making a good point about how most humans are drawn to practical jokes that hurt and cause shame. The Old Candid Camera was great, no one got hurt and even the jokee was laughing.
Some-people become a monk only for the benefit, living of donations, some act like a mega church pastor, preaching the wrong message to trick people in to giving them money, Some even create a spin-off cult and do all sort of evil stuff. It's quite a big on-going problem in Thailand.
My sister 'became' a Buddhist, changed her name and decided she was far more spiritually 'superior' to everyone else in the family, and most everyone else as well. { She was - and still is- all about 'being superior'} After quite a while, of putting up with her and her shenanigans, and her chronic freeloading ( they must have been VERY patient ) they actually threw her out! The final straw, allegedly, was something to do with setting herself up as some kind of 'wise expert' and selling 'teachings'. It was explained to her that these were free teachings to the public and not for profiteering... Which she was quite outraged about. "What! We can beg - but not make a business?!? How DARE they tell me what NOT to do!" Years of Spiritual teachings and none of it sunk in.

Buddhism is a practice, not a religion. It is basically a moral compass to live by and being able to find peace within yourself. I get the philosophical meaning behind it. I found it years ago following a really traumatic event in my life and it changed me in such a positive way.
A religion is a set of practices that serve a spiritual or specific purpose, usually related to philosophy, self acceptance, well being, & mindfulness. It may or may not involve a god. Buddhism is a religion
As someone who is Hindu, the religion The Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) was born into and followed during his life - Dharmic religions are still religions. Yes, it's a way of life and it guides how we live but that's in essence what a religion is. I've noticed ex-Abrahamic religion followers are so burnt by their religion that when they turn to Dharmic faiths they go "this isn't a religion it's a way of life" which discredits the practices and beliefs we follow. As if only Abrahamic faiths are religions no one else's faith is a religion. I get it from a trauma point of view but it's also very colonialist and makes many of very upset because we've dealt with generations of westerners misconstruing our faiths and what they mean in essence and constantly compare them to their definitions of what God, religion, etc mean when we are completely separate and different from the Abrahamic religions.
@@panjabipanditPart of that may have to do with the fact that (at least in the case of Buddhism) there is contemplative value even without its supernatural components. It's possible to conclude that self-cherishing is at the root of all suffering without having to believe in reincarnation. It's more difficult to find a practical application in some of the Abrahamic lessons. For example, sometimes you may be asked to sacrifice a child to appease the architect of the universe. But don't worry, it's just a test.
@@panjabipandit i appreciate your honesty. It comes from a place of truth and i apologize if how i feel in some way offends you. After reading your very educational response, i will be rethinking how i classify (for lack of a better word) my beliefs and spirituality.

I really wanted to tell him to shhhhh! And not give the internet ideas 😂
In many Asian countries, being a monk is an alternative to going into the army. So yeah, it can turn out to be like a frat.
Omg yes because im trying to figure out why this phrase is going around lol
u watching this is very mindful, very, dare i say, demure
ME TOO! 🤣
Wait until Josh learns about Cottagecore. Also, when you’re shadow boxing in your head, you’re not fighting your partner, you’re fighting the core negative image of your partner, how you believe them to be at their worst. So of course they win the imaginary fights. They have an unfair advantage in your head 😅
Thank you, Josh. Every Tuesday evening, I learn something new. I had no idea demur was the new hot thing. So tomorrow I'll go out and be hip and demur😂
I've had a hard day. It's time to relax and listen to Josh Johnson and let the stress melt away
The way he explained the 1st 1st argument before the argument is priceless 💯. It was everything everyone has done before 💯 😊😊
My girlfriend constantly uses this word but I didn't even understand what she was talking about. Thank you Josh😂
People were dropping fireworks in the toilets at school when I was a teen in the’70’s.
In the early days of "The Simpson's" I'm pretty sure it was one of Bart's go to gags, wasn't it? Maybe I'm remembering it completely wrong.
Yeah, I remember that when I was in school, too. It's not new.
Yes! And my big brother who was into bomb making! { see what happens when you teach boys chemistry!!!) asked me which classes I wanted to get out of in High School. So I told him Math Exams. He said; "No problem!" So, I said; "Yippee!", and didn't study, and he rigged up a box with a ticking clock and tubes and wires and stuff inside - that looked like the real deal. Told me to go hide it in the teachers toilet just before the exam time - which I dutifully did. And then he called the school with the bomb threat, and all the Alarms sounded, and we all filed out to stand for a couple of hours on the the oval. Which wasn't quite so smart - as it was raining. But still thrilling to see a whole pile of Police cars roar up! Also, should have paid more attention to math as 2 + 2 DO make 4 - eventually, and they simply rescheduled the damn exam... -_-

I'm one of the people who haven't been alive for the last couple weeks. I honestly had no idea why ive been seeing the word demure being used way more often than usual.
I just found out about this yesterday...🤷🏾♀
Idk what that is either. My buddy posted on FB saying say demure one more time lol. I didnt ask or cared. Now i have to hear it cause our boy is gonna make us laugh, so its worth it hearing!
The internet already got to that word yesterday and changed the definition
Gotta love Tuesdays!
