      But in his case, he didn't have money at the beginning. And showbusiness is brutal, so who knows what he was going through at the beginning, that he is not talking about, and maybe nevel will. But he always had a specific attitude towards life. And it shows, as yeah... long term stress, worrying, will have an impact on your health and how you look (not talking about something obvious like the impact of long term exposure to UV damage/sun).
      And at the end? You die if you worry and living a stressfull life, and you die if you don't. So why worry. Just live.

    I think Jerry might have won the game of life in a way no one else has. He has spent his entire adult life not taking things too seriously, practicing and perfecting his craft and yet still continues to improve himself. He's amazing. Further, as a podcast myself, I'm such a fan of how good Graham is and how he's built such an amazing practice of his show. Very good interview.

      Very interesting when you think about what one's "purpose" in life might be. I've heard it said in spiritual circles that to heal is to make happy. The perfection and brilliance of his show certainly did that for many, many millions of people, for some segment of time. Jerry certainly seems to have found his true "calling", always seems like a decent guy who doesn't get into any trouble, and has ultra clean comedy style that pretty much can't offend anybody apart from stupid people!

      There's some good advice to be followed in Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, for example, but don't get too hung up on stoicism, because that's not completely healthy either. Sometimes you really need to express your anger and other powerful emotions if you don't want it to build up inside and literally get sick at some point, which has been proven for decades by studying the connection between body and emotions, and how cancer and autoimmune diseases appear, in most cases.
      Stoicism without therapy is pretty much bottling everything inside, which is a bad idea if you're not in control of your emotional state.

      About to save you the TM fees. Sit down comfortably, relax your breath for 1 minute, then start gently mentally repeating your TM mantra (can be found online by age typically 2 syllables ). If you get sidetracked just gently return to the mantra. You'll feel your body relaxing/hands and legs gently going numb. Stay in that state for 20 mins, then let go of the mantra then give yourself 2-3 mins to come back to the present moment and open your eyes. You're welcome

    Jerry, I'm 62 year old homeless vet. And i watch a lot of videos, because I love to learn.
    Like you, i feel younger than i am. Like you, i didn't work after covid for 2 years. I just started exercising 9 months ago. I couldn't walk half a block.
    Exercising, weight training has been my savior. ( my depression is still here, and unlike you i want to not live, but at least I'm physically healthy). Working out is my meditation. I can squat and deadlift very heavy weights because I focus on one simple thing at a time. I do meditate and have taught others. I also do yoga.
    I love how you interview. You do it with humor, mindfulness and with Sincereness. At least that is what i have observed.
    Thank you. I will read up on stoicism. I have read a bit on saint Thomas Aquinas, Buddhism, and others.
    In prison, my friends said to me," is anyone shooting at you?"
    This question is like your current philosophy. If no one is shooting at you, don't worry. Just move on to the next thing.
    Be blessed and Shalom.😊

Meaning, being in the right place at the right time, how harmoniously all the right people came together for that show. That's not to say he did not work really hard in addition, or that he had everything handed to him... not at all. I'm just saying, that Jungian "synchronicities" seemed to happen more with me when I meditated, and I can see how someone like Seinfeld benefited in unseen ways that go beyond what we typically think of as cause/effect benefits of TM.

      @@lynnturman8157 Sit upright, but not rigidly so; keep feet flat on the floor. (May need pillow behind you to support back and/or to allow feet to rest comfortably flat on the floor.) Close eyes and consciously relax your entire body; breathe in deeply and breathe out long (put lips together and push air out through the closed lips); do this about 20 to 30 times. Your body will start to feel relaxed. Then, start repeating your mantra silently to yourself. If you have no mantra (say from a TM ceremony), try repeating something like: "shiva om," or other spiritually enriched words that resonate with you. Keep silently repeating, in your own mind, that mantra or those spiritually comforting words. In the beginning try doing meditations for at least 20 minutes and then increase to 50 minutes or longer, if you feel so inclined. Best is around 50 - 60 minutes of meditation. Sometimes you are really in the zone and meditations can go on for much longer than one hour.

Just made myself relax and meditate at night and, during the day, tried to be as relaxed as possible, paying attention to breathing, muscle tension, focus, etc, went to bed early, woke up early. After a few weeks i attained a state of relaxation that was pure bliss. My mind was super focused, i was seeing more intense colours and more defined shapes, i was hearing more clearly, thinking with more clarity, solving problems with much more ease. Then some personal problems came up, anxiety slowly build up and i was back to my old standard anxious self. I thought to myself that was not too big a problem, cause i had learned how to do it and i would be able to come back to it. Well, its 2024, i still havent been able to attain that level of relaxation again

A friend of mine opened up for him back in the late 80’s (At Mr. Rips in Spring Valley, NY-Remember Mr. Rips Jerry?) I was very envious of him as I would’ve liked that gig myself. Anyway our paths never directly crossed & the show soon came out & he took off. I was a regular at Dangerfield’s & he never played there. Alas, most of my friends in comedy have passed as it is a tough lifestyle, but myself like Jerry-we keep going. Even though I’m not regularly doing stand-up anymore I think about comedy all the time & think about funny stuff. I’m looking forward to Jerry’s MooVee-Unfrosted!!! It looks like it will be pretty funny as people from our generation will relate to it (Jerry & I are about the same age). Regardless of the reviews I’m sure I’ll love it❤️❤️❤️❤️. Keep on keepin’ on Jerry as in these horrific political times we all need to laugh more than ever!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
