I personally love the long stories. I enjoy just listening to stand up comics talk even when I'm not necessarily laughing (which I usually am with Josh) they're still entertaining to hear.
That's what I like about Josh, he tells a really long story and peppers in little rants and jokes on the side.
Well then you need more Norm Macdonald in your life. I suggest you look up norm macdonald moth joke.
thank you!!
good parenting advice too
What happened to that $20?
The story doesn't have to be a joke or end in a joke. Being a good storyteller is an undervalued skill these days.
It kinda does when you’re a comedian 😂
Dave Chapelle 🐐
I get what you’re saying. It really is. some people can’t tell a story or hold attention for shit, or they ramble about unnecessary details.
its about the journey not the destination so they say
It's a totally overrated skill. Comedians should learn to write jokes again.
The man turned his audience into his own personal therapy session and yet made them laugh and learn along the way. That was awesome.
The guy is a master craftsman
It's nice to know there are celebrities who have actually struggled. Knowing they struggled, in this case with having very little money and 3 kids to feed, is comforting. Especially knowing he's open about it and is fine now.
I knew I had it great as a kid when as an adult, a friend told me he ate sugar sandwiches to not go hungry. I tried one. It tasted like depression. But just before the rock bottom part.
You'd be surprised how many actually have struggled like this.
@@laughingfurry Yeah, I know the guy who played Hawkeye had a studio apartment and often went without heat and electricity until he made it big as an actor. He was humbled by the world, and as a famous actor now, he is thankfully still humble.
Idk if I'd call him a celebrity.
that was a fake story no struggle if he was a dad of 3 making only 1k per month he was giving no effort at all at life because minors at mcdonalds make more than that that was riddled with fake sympathy bs
I like sugar sandwiches.
"F**k I GUESS I'M GROUNDED TOO" 🤣 🤣 🤣 that is EXACTLY how it is! I'm a mama of 3 boys (7,10 & 14 yrs old) and I absolutely LOVE all of your stories bc I relate to them SO much!!! Thanks for another great video Josh! 💜
It's funny, I don't have kids and I relate bc I have siblings lol
Nah, as a gamer, I'm fine with grounding. They stay in their room, I get to play PS4 or Xbox still. Got consoles in my room and the living room. 😁
I can relate to him with weed. 😂
I have an 11 and 17 yrs old niece who also happens to live next door to me and I’ve been there with my niece. I relate so much!
For real girl! single mom to a girl and I’m like damn I’m in the doghouse too right with you 😂😂
The real irony would be if he earned that $20 renting out his Gameboy at school to surprise his dad for his birthday.
These are children around the age of 8. I doubt many of them are spending $20 to rent the Gameboy and I can 1,000% guarantee you that when you share that Gameboy with another kid, there is a chance that someone will take it or steal it.
That’s what I was curious about! 😂
And if the kid was saving up to buy a 2 player game to be able to play with his father? Oops now your just destroyed his trust in you his faith in goodness and his wish to be kind... Well done! good job all knowing parent! Haha
@@skylergardner2792 taking it is stealing it
@@diogolourenco60 You sound like you make up reasons in your head to hate people. Cause that's exactly what you just did. Quit being a presumptuous asshole.
The “i know what i want for Xmas” has me dead lol
He didn’t hold for the laugh long enough he just jumped right In with the dumpster diving part
im 39, and as soon as he mentioned tossing it. Was my first thought. Making xmas or b-day easy lol. But sadly yes kids need to learn. and spankings dont work for all kids, and def not all situations. speaking, treating them like young adults goes a lot further. yes it takes patiences and understanding, self control. sadly most of the adults cannot do that......
I felt everything about this to my CORE ! 😂😂😂 From one poor parent to another thank you. That was hilarious 🤣
Your impression of Jacob is always a light in the darkness
“I didint wanna bust him cuz he’ll hide it better next time” Thas fken good parenting
This dudes story makes me think of my stepdad, ill never forget the first lesson that i soaked in. I was 9 and my mom caught me riding my bike where i wasnt supposed to and she was PISSED, but my stepdad sat me down and asked me if the short bit of fun was worth the hell that was about to reign down on me. Of course my answer was no, then he explained that from then on i really need to learn to weigh my options, ask myself if its really worth it. It was the first time anyone had treated me more adultish instead of a baby. Im in my 30s now and have tried passing it on but he has absolutely no interest in actually hearing it. He gives me a blank face and an “uh huh” lol
People are different, for better or worse. He simply values his bike time more than your "hell".
You said it,
He heard it.....
Rest is on him (y)
The right thing has been done :)
As a single dad... Dude. You're amazing. And so honest. A true humorist.
Whatever uh say ..single dad r really hot for me ..coz they take responsibility.. I'd be down to date a single dad any day ..tho I'm only 21 yrs old
And they have kids ..I'm scared to give birth ..but i do love babies
I love kids more than dogs ..coz dogs love their own puppies more than human babies ...ours is the only species that thinks more good for other species then their own babies
Comedian* dipshit
@@archangelmichael8209 Don’t be scared to give birth. It’s natural. Pain is only temporary 💪
Most ADULTS need to learn that you get to pick your actions, but don't get to pick the consequences. It would remedy a lot of trouble in the world if people would stop doing things that they're told will result in them or others suffering, but because they have good intentions they think that maybe it will work out anyway. If Jacob had that sink in, he'd definitely benefit from it. Next time, he'd hide the Gameboy better. I know his pain, though... I had a similar sort of thing happen to me. It's one of those "if this happened today, I would have ended up in an institution" stories. A kid that was only sorta a friend of mine in junior high school asked to borrow my Gameboy with the understanding he would only have it for a couple classes, then he'd return it in the next class we had together. I agreed. When he got to the later class, he didn't have it. He claimed his older cousin took it away from him. As class was conducted, I wrote this kid a letter. It detailed how easy it would be for me to figure out where he lived, and that I knew he couldn't keep his pets inside ALL the time, and houses can very easily catch fire. I let him know it would be in the best interests of himself and his whole family to return my Gameboy to me. I got it back after my next class.
Good job. 👍
That's a stupid story an if it's not fake your a psycho. No thumbs up to be a real f***** person.
[applause] So many of societies ills are the product of thinking we get "do overs" when we make a bad decision.
Damn this guy straight up had the crowd by the balls!! It's rare to see a crowd react so strongly! Good job, man!
josh wolf is basically my dad personified on stage. i love him and watching his content really made me reconnect with my dad. (not getting into it)
i love my dad too btw lol
Haha so true on the 20 dollar bill. My boys walked home from school and one held up a freaking Benjamin and said he found it on the sidewalk outside the store and wanted to know if it was real. I took it, examined it and said I was no expert but it looked real and we should all go to the store and try it out. Luckily though, I've raised my guys with integrity and they had no problem with it. The fact it was brought to me showed the integrity and we all got some new clothes anyway.
That was some quality parent talk right there!
I immediately went and wrote that down bc I appreciated it so much!
There’s times when I try to explain things to my daughter like this but don’t know how to word it and you hit the nail on the head! So thank you!!!
You’re one hell of a dad and comedian!!! ❤
Their punishments are your punishments... So relatable. Their joy is your joy
I can't believe you waited to tell that story. I love the long stories and the insight that you get from the comedian. You let us in your world and it felt so real with me when my kids were younger.
Dude, amazing story. I subbed a while back but hadn’t seen much until this one. I never had a dad and my mom and eventual step dad sort of put me on the back burner. I never had a really solid person that I could talk to and look up to. I’m 21 and I now have two beautiful babies. Watching this helps out so much as a new parent and definitely helps define what it means to be a great dad. Keep up the inspiring and hilarious story telling. I’ll be looking out for it.
Considering there's a GameBoy that survived a nuke Jake's probably survived the fall.
Wasn't a nuke, But it was a bomb
That was the original Gameboy, their hardware durability has declined drastically since then (particularly the Joy-Cons on the Switch).
I was about 6 when this took place. One day brother (4) did something wrong and dad punished us after asking the questions. He went on to tell us if we did something wrong and were honest and told him we would not get punished. So one day dad is working outside on the lawn and brother and I found what to us was a big rock, maybe 2 or 3 pounds
We put a space between us and start tossing the rock back and forth, let it land on the grass then toss it back to the other. Well about 5 - 10 feet to my left was the house and the laundry room window. Dad came around the rear of the house and saw what we were doing " You boys stop that before you break a window." and continued to the front of the house to work a flower bed.
Well it was my turn to toss the rock to my brother. CRASH the rock went through the laundry room window. Brother and I knew we were in for a spanking as we walked to the front of the house to tell dad.
Me: " Dad."
Dad: " Yes."
Me: " You remember when you said if we were honest and told you the truth we would not get spanked or punished?"
Dad: " Yes."
Me: " Did you mean it?"
Dad: " Yes, why?"
Me: " I just through the rock through the laundry room window."
So we follow dad into the house to the laundry room and there resting on top of the washer was the rock resting among shattered glass. Dad told the story years later to some friends after I got out of the navy. He would end by saying: " I knew I was trapped and could not punish them. Yes, me a 37 year old man out smarted by a 6 year old boy."
LOL
@@mikeyreza, Not really.
@@mikeyreza, Dad put money before children and everything else. Mom and dad divorced and mom had a job where her medical insurance paid for an operation I needed, no cost to dad. Well dad refused to sign the consent claiming he might have to pay something.
My brother in the story decided that he wanted to live with dad after the divorce and mom allowed it. During the school year brother had one tshirt and one pair of pants for the whole year. After school everyday brother would wash the tshirt out in the sink and hang it to dry before school the next day. The pants he washed every Friday and would wear throughout the week.
There's more but you get the idea I'm sure.
@@mikeyreza, Brother became a fireman through his own effort yet dad would say how he was the one who got brother the job.
Brother bought a Ford Ranger extended cab and what happens? Dad goes out and buys the extended cab Dodge version of the Ranger. Later brother trades the Ford in for a full size Chevy extended cab. What does dad do? Trades his extended small pickup for the full size version of the Chevy extended cab.
I was in the navy and was married to a Filipina when dad came up to visit with his white wife for the weekend. So they go back to his house in Indiana and I thought nothing of it. Few months later he shows back up without his white wife and is talking to me.
He says he is divorcing his white wife and starting to talk to a Chinese woman at work. Not long after he did divorce the white wife and married the Chinese.
He just could not stand for brother and I to have something he did not have or we had something better.
@@mikeyreza, Dad was married 4 times and my mother was his second wife. With his first wife he had one son and daughter that I know of which he gave up for adoption to avoid child support. That was in the late 1950's. In the mid 1990's said son showed up out of the blue wanting his name back and found dad.
Dad dropped brother and I faster than a fart disappears in a hurricane. Dad always thought he was the greatest thing around, expert at everything he ever did and nothing was ever his fault.
In 2016 karma showed up and bit him when he was in Florida with his 4th wife. Dad was on a 4 lane road east going west when he came to a 4 lane going north and south. Dad pulled out in front of a full size extended Dodge Ram which hit him in the drivers side door and he died on the scene.
What makes this interesting/karma?
1.) In 1962 dad was driving when he crossed a 4 lane highway resulting in an accident. In that accident mom and dad's first born son was killed ( 6 months old). Mom suffered broken left wrist and ribs.
2.) Dad's 4th wife suffered broken left wrist and ribs in the 2016 accident.
3.) Dad was in his 2002 Cadillac and was killed by the same version of the truck he last owned, a 2002 full size extended cab Dodge Ram pickup.
Dad's passing is a good thing. Brother and I got our asses beat by him for what the daughters of his 3rd wife did. He would tell us when 3rd and daughters not around that he knew the girls did it but had to spank us for it in order to keep the peace.
@@mikeyreza, He was the only one killed in the 2016 accident but both cars totaled. The baby in the 1962 accident was my older brother and the only one to pass in that accident. Mom refused to leave his side and refused medical attention until he passed. Mom was at his side in the ER while she sat there helpless as it took him 30 minutes to pass from head injuries.
Mom was the opposite of dad, nothing came before her children or grandchildren or great grandchildren. In the 1990's mom got the lung cancer and was given 6 months max to live. She took that 6 months and turned it into just over 20 years " I raised and watched my boys grow into men and have their own families. I'm going to stay around and watch my grandchildren grow up."
Mom watched her eldest granddaughter give her 3 great grandchildren before she passed from the cancer.
She told brother and I " I have spend my life with you boys. When I die I want to be buried as close as possible to Tommy D ( son killed in the 1962 accident) and be with him for eternity." Mom passed in 2014 ( cremated per her request) from cancer but the courts refused request to open Tommy D's grave and place her in with him. But we had it set up so she is as close as possible with a large headstone on a hollow base and she is inside the base under the headstone. We took Tommy D's headstone and made it part of the larger one.
Great story. Love long form comedy. It really helps increase our attention span in a world where everything is 60 seconds or less Tik Toks.
Great parenting! It sucks that you had to do what you did but at least you had the balls to back up your word and teach him a lesson
I don't think that children should suffer long term consequences, it's adult's job. It was a save with that Christmas gift.
@@nati0598 I don’t think kids would suffer from something like that. At the end of the day the kid disobeyed his parent and he learned a valuable lesson and eventually got his toy back.
@@Unchartedadventures94 That's why I've said that the Christmas gift was a save.
For real parents are just as grounded as kids when they get in trouble and grounded! 😂🤣
Lmao I love your Jacob stories it makes my day!! 😂😂
He just talked about my childhood almost word for word
IKR except he’s the male version of my mom. Yep, she was that tough.
You're such a decent guy! Funny as hell.....a good parent......and soon to be king of the comedy world
You can actually hear someone in the audience say “oh god!” Right as he’s saying “the cars a trouble free zone”.
Best parenting story EVER!
Bravo sir, bravo.... 👏
hes so funny hearing him tell stories about his family. his sons crack me up.
Josh is such a great father. I hope to one day be as great a father as him
For real. Josh and Jacob have such an awesome relationship.
he tells his sons humiliation in front of millions. and his friends. great father :)
No, that’s pretty fucking toxic. The punishment far exceeded the crime, and the age of the kid
@@jendubay3782 aw sounds like you still live with your parents
@@seanA416 no, just have a degree in early childhood education. But sure, “I live in my parent’s basement.”
I’m a new father and that is a true life situation that one day my son is going to learn. Thanks for sharing, I got a laugh and a tear out of it cause I grew up broke as well.
I love how the age of the kid changes every time lmao
I'd bet that gameboy still works and survived that trash chute, considering a gameboy survived a bomb blast and is still working.
He's The TRUE DEAL, Amazing and Hilarious With His Delivery... Luv ya My Friend 😘
You had me enthralled in the story man, great bit!
Obviously the kid is hustling and renting his gameboy to his classmates during breaks.
"I forgot about your xray vision..." 😂😂
I love watching Josh wolf high!
Are you the one that’s high or him?
@@cheezywizard5292 yes
@@cheezywizard5292 lol i was thinking the same thing
Josh Wolf is the real deal! Thank you for coming through A Mediocre Time studios when you have a chance. You’re a class act and I’ll support however I can.
Single dads get overlooked so much
As an adult, I still do dumb dances
For good reason tho, it's so my sister gets second-hand embarassment
This dude is legit funny, and great storyteller!
that was such a great story telling experience! and that beat at the end was fire!
What I got from this story is your kid respected you enough to not lie at the time lol
It's so funny when just a regular parenting story is also comedy! 😂
I get so much parenting knowledge from you. It hasn’t failed me yet! 😁😁
That was my first comedy show. Thanks for coming back to Portland. My lady and I love your stand up.
Related to that so much. Such a great storyteller & sounds like a great dad too. Funny man 😂
Such a GOAT at story telling and a father lol
probablly one of my favs from Josh, absolutely wholesome and yet hilarious. Poor Jacob, but I bet Josh would be pissed if he knew how much original gameboys sell for now lmao
The problem with expecting kids to remember that you've told them not to do something is that because they're much younger, time is a lot bigger for them than it is for you. Something that happened to you a week ago as an adult is a short amount of time, but to a young kid, even a preteen, a week is a lot longer to them than it is to you because it's a much larger percentage of their lifespan. Young enough, and a week feels to them the way a month feels to an adult. (Heck, I'm 40 and a month feels simultaneously six months long AND like a week.) Also, kids are constantly inundated with new information, so something you tell them once is going to get lost in the noise.
So with that in mind, if you're told something once when you weren't really paying attention, how likely are you to remember that a month or more later? Especially if you were told it while you were very busy taking in a bunch of other information at the time?
And that is why you HAVE to have patience with kids, and tell them things multiple times, until they memorize it. Also, kids are just as intelligent and logical as adults can be, and if a rule doesn't make sense, they often need it to make sense before they'll obey it willingly. If you hold a kid to adult standards of behavior, you're going to be constantly disappointed. If you react to this disappointment with anger, you're going to cause them all kinds of trauma.
This thing about time is so true. My 6 year old daughter got an advent calendar to open with milk chocolate in it. She was so excited about opening those little doors she asked when she could open the next one. I told her "tomorrow". She responds with "well how far away is bed time?" "six hours" I say.
Her response was something along the lines of "6 hours? thats like FOREVER" The fact she wanted a single piece of chocolate so bad she was actively wanting her night to be over before it had even really begun still makes me chuckle.
I can still remember feeling like even a few minutes was an impossible amount of time to wait. If I was told five minutes for something I didn't wanna wait for I would count.
My parents would just take said object and never say a word. Laugh hysterically as they watched us kids look all over for it.
My dad grounded me from tv for a week but failed to specify how long it was for so I went 6 months before I asked if I could watch tv again 😂 I was just like alright I guess I’ll play with my Lincoln logs lmao
How old were you to not know how long a week was?
@@michaeldaniels642 "Of course you can, it was meant to be for a week only."
He should have said “ I’m going to take it away.” Then place it in a drawer until Christmas. Or the fun punishment.. start playing it in front of him.. say you broke it a few days after, then wrap it up as a Christmas gift
You may not listen to the speeches when they give them, but they do stick in your mind. Had that happen to me once. I used a line that my mom always used on me once and it was an eye opening experience.
You're a good Dad, brother. I'm gonna show this to my kids when I have them. The amount of men who can't do what you do is staggering.
You shouldn't throw your kids shit away, especially if their emotionally attached to it. They'll just stop making emotional attachments.
Sounds like you have issues, maybe see a therapist.
@@chuckybang nope, my parents didn't do that. So I make healthy emotional attachments. But I've met kids who have had their parents do that, and apathy is the result
I mean, being "emotionally attached" to a Game Boy is a but of a problem in itself.
@@BobbySacamano no it's not. People emotionally attach to things they use or have all the time. It's basically nor different than a kids favorite stuffed animal.
I literally loved everything about this clip! 😄
I love the way Josh tells stories
If you don’t get that laugh at the end of that story then that’s a Effin TEDTalk. 🤣👍
My husband passed when my kids were 8 and 5. I can completely related. OMG the grounding is sooooo true 😂😂😂
Oh I love it man so freaking funny I could just picture it.its so much fun when you can catch them off guard.
Josh and Jake need to write a movie based off of their stand up. They always make you, and me, feel worthy and so fucking normal. If not boring in comparison.
Love these stories of Josh and his kids ❤
I love your hilarious story telling. It is completely relatable
I find it funny that people will throw their money away destroying things they bought because they're petty and selfish. If your response to a child disobeying is to destroy the things they love or hurt them, then that will stick with them their entire lives, and you'll keep building those moments until you're sitting alone at home wondering why your kids hate you.
I love this dude! So relatable, reminds me of my pops
No, we listen, just not in the way you'd expect.
Years later the kid has a decoy bong, he learned..
I learned to hide things in with my little brother's stuff 😅
Honestly I’m very against snooping. As someone who grew up with parents who always went through my stuff, especially without me knowing, it makes it very hard to trust them or be a normal person
Story telling in comedy is that hardest. He's right, you have to get those laughs to make it worth it. It's a big challenge
I live in Ontario, Canada and whenever my daughter and I were on the highway we saw giant storage facilities that were shaped exactly like huge beehives.. Whenever we passed one I used to tell her (she was really little like 3 or 4) that giant bees lived in them. To this day she still brings that up (she's 42 now). She was really upset with me when she found out. (I thought it was funny. Anyhooo, love your channel, keep up the good work!
Lol that's a good one. I'm gunna get mine
My mom taught me that type of lesson in the 60s. I approve. It's a non violent lesson you remember VERY clearly.
Ye tbh I remember the teachable moments more then the belt💯
Ye tbh I remember the teachable moments more then the belt💯
Loved it!
What else did that kid learn that day?
Stealing money is fine, so he coulda got a new gameboy a lot sooner than christmas
That first thing he learned? That was him saying "I learned you're a man worth respect."
Keep your word. No matter how much is sucks...keep it.
Beautiful touching story 🥰 haha and be proud because u are the consistent and fair parent Many of us would like to think we are.
At the end when he said he knows what he wants for Christmas, I would’ve said: “Okay, but I’m not going to be the one buying it for you.”
This is what I needed today
Why didn’t you just take it away from him for a week?! Did you learn anything Josh?!! 💗ya!!
the IOU's got me lol
I needed a good laugh today and this one did it
The experiences as a parent are comical and universal.
Josh is the GOAT! Man ur funny and inspiring!
Just discovered you , now gotta share everywhere- your very talented🎉
Bro I love this guy
Great punch line, hit beautifully
My son(6) just got student of the year certificate and medal. Two days later, shit his pants. atta boy
Im sorry student of the month
You're a great father and cracked up through the whole thing. Excellent story man.
Fantastic story, I bet he still remembers the noise it made going down the chute
That was really good.
Tf is this lil scene at the end omg thats hilarious
I'm dying listening to this. 👍
Definitely relatable
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’re not in too much pain.
Awesome Josh💓
Sent this to my mom lol love it
My son got grounded for the first time today so he didn’t get to pick the show we watched as his mom put his brother to bed. Put on an LPGA documentary and punished myself with how boring it was 😂
Brilliant
God I wish I knew you personally you are one of my favorite comedians and to be perfectly honest your an amazing person to hear all the story's you have would be a experience to say the least your one of the only comedians I listen to with my dad except for Josh blue I think that's his name but either way your great and I hope you keep up the great work
my mom did this type of shit to me and now i dont talk to her anymore so keep that in mind
Always love the stories. Although, the thumbnail brought back both good and bad memories, the good old OG brick Gameboy that always had SOMETHING broken with it. Even if you never accidentally drop it or hit it on something, something on it will just not feel like working anymore after a couple weeks to a month
