Why are you completely silent for much of the time that Jimmy is talking to you? There's no verbal encouragement or acknowledgment and it feels almost like he's talking to himself at times.
@@cjojay Not everybody needs a cheerleader in order to talk. When a host notices a confident speaker and recognises that the speaker's contribution is consistent and valuable, the best thing for the host to do is be quiet. Jimmy didn't say much that needed challenging or a push. He either gave his opinion or gave facts, and never tried to demand that his opinion was fact. People are tainted by news networks being mostly opinion and argument and have forgotten about what journalism (small J) is. And yes, I know that most such people haven't or can't read this far.
❤🎉@@cjojay
@@cjojayI kind of think that he's obviously doing something right! Where are you in this life? Can you say the same?
@@peachesandpoets Go back and listen to the interview, especially the first 20 mins. It's odd. In normal human communication, your listener makes subtle sounds of acknowledgment when you are speaking to them, especially when you sort of ask them questions, like right? Things like that. We give small gestures and sounds like mmhmm. Do you know what I mean?
"Every man has two lives; the second begins when he realizes he only has one." That hit a nerve. Great interview!
Yeap. Great quote by Confucius
Jimmy for President.
Yeah, my hubs is currently having a very hard time transitioning into the second one.

I saw this quote on a kung fu panda video..
" People don't want to live longer, they want more memories " hit me in the chest ❤
Yes!
Agree!
Yeah, i want to live fully. This may sound off but i plan to create a death meditation in my breathwork meditation class, just to be AWARE of my mortality and live like I could die tomorrow. Stop wasting time you know?
The only way to create memories is experiencing something new. We must keep traveling the unknown road
I scrolled over your message at the exact moment he was saying this. That was pretty crazy. But yes I completely agree!
His comedy style isn't something I go for but listening to him talk here is completely eye opening. Wise, thoughtful, warm. Great interview.
Exactly what I think as well.
Bro supports policies that have literally enabled this epidemic. Don't be fooled by grifters like this. All celebrities are good at lying to your face and telling you what you want to hear. ALL OF THEM.
I agree 100%, Jimmy's comedy doesn't really work for me. However he talks a lot of sense. I enjoyed this conversation very much.
Jimmy said that gratitude is the mother of all virtues. Addicts have been living by this and recovering for decades using gratitude.
What s the is the focus of the gratitude?
@@kingcosworth2643 Everything you already have.

Grateful for: Being sober Having a shower Personal relationships A roof over your head Central heating A sunset A sunny day A cup of coffee with friends Good health Peace of mind Paying all your bills Having a phone An unexpected gift Friendship Eyesight Having a job The sunshine on the hills A walk in the woods Etc..........
Jimmy Carr's comedic style was never my cup of tea, so it is such a pleasure to find out what an interesting, insightful, and intelligent person he is! Thank you!
Bruh it’s been uploaded for 45 mins, you haven’t even seen it yet, calm down
@@churnetvalleyrunner3635right? Ridiculous of people. 😊
😂😂😂@@churnetvalleyrunner3635
It’s not your comedic style because you’re a dull person
@@churnetvalleyrunner3635 I never heard Jimmy Carr in an interview before, and when he was at Joe Rogan I didn't even listen because as I wrote I never liked his comedy style. I started to listen and in the middle I realised how incredibly insightful he is. I was so positively surprised so I decided to comment. If you find this to be annoying, well, good for you! Enjoy it!
14:55 "They're jealous of what you've got, they're not jealous of how you got it." - J. Carr 💯🖤✨️

That's right I have never heard a more truthful statement
They don't see all the sacrifices made on the way😢
Yeah and he implied that Mao was one of the "worst people". I lost a lot of respect for him there, not that I had much respect for his pseudo-enlightened platitudes anyway and his quasi-posh bourgeous persona.
@@john.premoseMao has done many many dirty deeds. He ordered all educated people to die or take laborious jobs and become farmers instead. Let alone burning all the books containing knowledge.
i regularly rewatch Sean Lock clips and despite the loss we feel i am always conscious of how Sean's family and friends feel. seeing Jimmy break at the mention of Sean speaks volumes. a wise and thoughtful man is Jimmy Carr.
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Jimmy is always brilliant but the interviewer( I don't recall the name right now,I apologize)is perfect. He's not talking over the guest,he's asking just enough questions and giving the answer time to breathe and keeping things going. Absolutely fantastic. I agree with so many things here. I'm a construction worker,46 from the states and last year decided to say fuck it and move to Europe. Not a great time to do it with the state of the world but I did it anyways. It's been difficult to say the least but I'm still grateful that I've done it. I've learned a lot about the world and myself and I've learned real gratitude for people. Most people don't speak English where I am so it's been a tough journey but even with the language barrier,everyone has been amazing to me. I didn't expect that at all. I never thought I'd be here but I'm glad I am. Just like this interview. Never thought I'd hear it but I'm glad I did and that's how life is. It's tough,it's easy,it's in-between and that's the beauty of everyday... I'll be subscribing for sure
I'm 20 minutes in and Jimmy has already dropped so much valuable wisdom. What a guy.
Agreed, in awe of the wisdom, far surprising many other "experts"
I needed this podcast perfect timing
honestly the outlook on life he has is amazing. I think the same way but couldn't articulate how I thought about life but Jimmy did a great job.
I'm in the f***ing intro and he's already dropped some :D
He's so wise remember when he believed the government about vaccine and belittled people with a different opinion
'Confidence without competence is madness', what a quote.
that confidence is the narcissistic self-delusion
Dunning-Kruger effect...look for the graph.

Omg ! I’ve never heard Jimmy Carr talk “off stage” … how incredible is he!!! So wise! Love the part about imposter syndrome … 💕💕
I work as a Nurse and specifically a hospice nurse for quite a while. Gave me a whole new perspective on life. Makes you want to go home and give your mom and best friend a call. Its easy to be driven by stuff, but sometimes we lose sight of all the important people we have.
" It's your quality of life, minus envy, that's how happy you are " ...wow that hit true
Too simplistic by far.
@@banedon8087 It is reductive but I'm not sure it's simplistic to the point of being incorrect - I feel it does pretty accurately sum up how happy someone generally feels. You can have very little, envy even less and feel generally pretty happy so long as your survival isn't in constant ambiguity. Vice versa you can have everything a person could want and still perceive the world as needing to give you more to be satisfied, and live eternally unhappy. Obviously most of what we envy is subconscious, but if we can work out why we're chasing what we're chasing, we might realise we're on a bunch of wild goose chases and everything we actually need is a lot simpler to attain.
@@pootytang69 It does not take into account the despair of seeing what you love in society being destroyed in the name of "progress" and watching things go into clear decline.
@@banedon8087 I believe that would be covered by envy - though he's using envy in the sense to mean you're wanting for something you feel denied of. Another applicable quote he used in regards to what you said is the Nietzsche one "If you think someone ruined your life, you're right, it was you." In your example it's the perspective that "things aren't as they ought to be" that is harming the individual.
@@pootytang69 Still too simple. When I look around and see that others - many others - feel the same way as myself and we all started off independently, then it's not just a "me" thing. In addition, these things matter at the core of people. This isn't envy or jealousy, but watching what is happening with the newer generations and seeing them despair, seeing people taking advantage of that and radicalising them against themselves and society. And that's just that start of it. Sometimes the issue isn't the individual.
"You cannot have an easy life and a strong character at the same time." So true. It makes me feel so proud of everything I have gone through.
I can think of an Austrian painter who developed a strong character from a hard life.
I know that's not true
@@007nadineL do you know anyone with a strong character who’s had an easy life?
Totally agree with this statement. You'd think this wouldn't necessarily have to be true, but this is exactly what I observe in the real world (I'm 65). I've travelled the world and my favorite women are Filipinas. Know why? Because they have it rough compared to Western women. They are tough. Mentally and emotionally. They have character from their hardships that I never found in any American woman.
I would much rather have an easy life. lol
It says something that the standup comedian who tells the most meaningless jokes has the most meaningful philosophy.
SO MUCH WISDOM about life from comedian. I would never thought.
That is the point in modern day comedy... It's the only place where truth is allowed
Top comedians are the most intelligent people. Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry...
To be a successful comedian you MUST have life wisdom. Humor is directly connected to common experience. Things become instantly funnier if we can personally relate to them.
So much wisdom yet he supports policies that have enabled this epidemic. For all his supposed wisdom, he still supports mass immigration. He's a grifter.
As a boy I wore calipers on my legs for 3 years, I did not learn to swim until I was 9 about 5 years late for an Australian boy. Every day I get to stand on my own 2 feet and walk or run I say thank you. Gratitude is the most underrated mental posture a person can have but only if you don't confuse gratitude with being complacent about what you should change.
Yup - lovely share - glad for your insight.
My cousin wore calipers, quite cumbersome looking things. Do you mind if I ask why you wore them? My daughter has castings put on her leg, it’s to stretch the Achilles’ tendon shortened as a result of a tethered spinal cord - I’m wondering if casting is the modern form of calipers.
thank you
I'm 43. I recently had an experience with my sons friends popping round. And they were absolutely jaw dropped. I spent the day fixing a car, mechanically then did a bodyshop worthy patch repair to a panel. Came in, and told them to quiet down I need to do some work on my dissertation. The confident one piped up and proclaimed how??? How can you do so much stuff! I replied. I grew up poor. But with a dad. I had to become self sufficient or...metaphorically die. And I guess the hardships I look upon as perceived trauma while growing up. Actually. Make me who I am and are to be celebrated. What a privilege. To not need bank loans. To never need a mechanic or a bodyshop. Never need a builder, a plumber or an electrician. To never need much more than myself. What a gift. Now...many will see this as a pointless comment. I'm sure. It's not about setting up a business having passive income and a ferrari. But. I think it's key to be thankful and celebrate who you are and what you can do. Not be depressed about what you can't. Jimmy touched on being thankful. And that's a rewarding mindset.
Vv yum
This comment isn’t pointless. Appreciate you sharing 🤙🏽

I wanna see the Jimmy Carr podcast! That was absolutely brilliant! He interviewed Steven
Steven, yes we want three hours of jimmy Carr talking about life. We demand it! Brilliant stuff
Very re-watchable, unlike many other guests...
Yes! ❤
After hearing other intelligent people speaking then hearing this BS, it definitely wasn’t what I expected
Jimmy is a great guy. To be honest I dont really enjoy his stand up performances, but I love listening him talk on podcasts
@@yellowmellow7814So help us out here. What was BS?
My Dad always worked, 3 jobs sometimes, because he had too. I didn’t see much of him as a kid. When I was older (late teens maybe) he mentioned how he feels he missed everything, just off the cuff no real emphasis on it, while we were chatting and cooking. I stopped him and said “Even as a kid I knew why you did it, that you had to, that the reason I had food and a roof was because of you. Thank you for what you did. You didn’t miss my childhood, you made it possible.” I think he let go of years of guilt and tension. I’m sure he wanted to stop and help raise me one on one, but he couldn’t. You aren’t a bad person because you cant.
The fact you acknowledged that shows that it was worth his sacrifice. Well done you
That's lovely, I bet your dad is proud of you
@@teomosu The poor guy broke down. I think he’d been told by numerous people he had “neglected” us or not supported my mum raising us, I think even told by my mum. I know they had their differences but they are both great parents. But everyone always praises the mother as having the “hardest job in the world” while Dads often work work work, never get to spend time with their family then get demonised for “Not being around” I know which kind of life seems hardest to me. I couldn’t imagine hardly seeing my kids then spending the rest of my life wondering if anyone noticed what I had to do, cared, was grateful, wanted me around while also saying I never helped.
You're a good son.
@@CasMullacno fault divorce means you don’t get to see your kids all the time
He’s a very thoughtful dude! I appreciate him more now after listening to him speak frankly.
"The opposite of gratitude is resentment. If you think someone has ruined your life, you're right. It's you! Mike drop" -this piece of wisdom, I'll remember forever. Thank you!
As a retired teacher, I really felt our education system fails our people, especially males. There is hardly any emphasis on what makes a healthy human being. As a teacher, I just felt we were churning out sausages. Some would gain skills to be employed in the labour market, others would fail. There is so much more our education system could do to raise well adjusted individuals, and members of society.
Yes I agree, I recently went back to working in a nursery school and it's the same there, kids can not be kids or learn naturally anymore, all need to be doing the same, not given room to be imaginative, it's all a bunch of box ticking and paperwork that takes precious time away, I saw the same in my sons education In primary school, homeschooled him in secondary and he thrived without the limitations and being told how to think
Wow thanks for sharing your insight!!
That stuff is supposed to be parents job, but hardly any of them bother these days.
@@booshank2327It's impossible to raise a well adjusted individual when you're not a well adjusted individual. Abuse, neglect and emotional issues run through families because it becomes learned behaviour. People only break the cycle when they are exposed to people who are emotionally intelligent and that's usually someone outside of the family unit.

@@roxannelilymaria2581 did you just assume my gender?
This was unbelievably good stuff, and I'll watch Jimmy's stand up with new eyes from now on. Solid work, guys.
Everytime I think this podcast has served up the most incredible wisdom, I'm amazed that you manage to surpass yourself! Kudos to Steve and JImmy. I am 76 and have learned a lot over the years. For me, life is more of an adventure than ever and it just thrills me to hear men, years younger than I, who really live on a different planet from me, recognizing the pain and effort life requires but continuing to strive and learn and find even greater satisfaction and insight every day. I am so grateful, Steve, for what you provide and Jimmy, for sharing yourself so completely. It gives me a lot of hope for the world.
What a lovely soul he is! As a psychiatrist I was very glad to hear that Jimmy acknowledges that depression is a real disease and his thoughts on grief and personal development. Beautiful interview!
Depression is a real syndrome. We need to take it seriously, absolutely. Is it a “disease,” as defined by the medical community? No. It’s some combination of symptoms observed in patients over a period of weeks by psychiatrists. In one person, the cause may be a thyroid issue. In another person, maybe it’s a lifetime of loneliness. For another, they need to overcome a lifetime sense of powerlessness. For another, they may well need lithium to function. There is a reason why meds don’t work 60% of the time. Depression is not one “disease” any more than abdominal pain is a “disease.” We’ve barely scratched the surface of helping people overcome their misery.
Shame he’s a tax-dodger. Can talk about mental health issues all day long, but he intentionally siphons his cash away from the public services that rely on them.
He's a pharma shill too
@@dfr3035Well said
Ok, I had to stop the podcast numerous times just to let the way Jimmy’s brain work sink in. The guy is just genius. Feeling grateful to both the CEO and Netflix for giving this man a podium.
OMG I did exactly the same thing. I rewound it, listened again, paused it.. and let it marinade. "Your quality of life minus envy - thats how happy you are" really made me stop and smile.
Me too had to go back a few time. Brilliant.
Agree, I was doing the same. Definitely an interview I'll revisit a few times.
Isn't this the guy that was mocking those who refused the jab(s). He lost all credibility in that moment.
@@Epoch-vu8cj Only lost credibility to people whose credibility no one needs or values. Nothing of value was lost.
I love how clear and sharp this guy is. And he manages to be respectful. Nice convo.
The idea that life is about the happiness of the Pursuit hit me hard, and it struck me that I have been chasing the wrong things for nearly my whole life. Something clicked in me when I heard this, and the concept kept playing in my mind, and as it did, I felt a huge weight lifting from me, as a sense of my priorities changed I then had the best night's sleep that I can remember for some time... This new mindset is so liberating.
You my dear have had an epiphany 💜
Think bigger. Life is about the journey. Run with happiness.

Out was great how he snapped him back to the real world like that. It was an arrogant, entitled dream and he immediately stamped it out. Bravo

One of the best podcast episodes I've seen in years. Jimmy Carr is amazing.
What an insightful and intelligent man. Thank you for this interview. I’ve never seen this side of Jimmy. And I must say he has depth and excellent perception. Enjoyed him talking about very important issues. Explained so well.🇨🇦
I met him in the Amsterdam's aiport , we were on the same flight to London , and he talked to me for 20 minutes while we were waiting , and he was so nice . And his humour was really dark at the time , it was amazing to meet the person behind the mask . Oh and he was really surprised that I knew about him because I am Canadian , and I told him people were uploading his shows on You Tube :)
oh wow that's really cool. How fun to meet him
‘At no time in human history have the good guys censored stuff’💥 SO MANY pearls of insight Jimmy! Thanks! Standup comedy is a vital index of how ‘humanity’, culture and society is tracking.
Like the vaccine he pushed and the government censored any critical opinions. What a fraud
When the truth gets buried under a spam-flood of bullshit, then I think a good case can be made to find and stop the parties responsible.
Y t censored my comment
Jimmy supports government censorship
The presumption there is that people who don't censor things are inherently good. It isn't true. In a world where regardless of who was or wasn't censoring things, the worst atrocities were still able to happen, holding up the past as some ideal is not only dangerous, but extraordinarily disingenuous. If someone's comedy relies on hurting those who are already measurably marginalised in society, then it isn't comedy worth hearing. It isn't original. It isn't revolutionary or brave or unique or special. It's just ugly, petty and negative. Allowing hatespeech to have free reign has also never been a feature of a good or just society. It's really fking easy for people with privilege to make the arguments that men like Carr, Gervais, and even Chappelle are making.
The topics of this episode might have been quite broad but, that was one of the most inspiring ones I've watched. What a guy Jimmy is. It definitely does make you reflect back on your philosphy of life. Thank you!
30 minutes in and this guy is BLOWING ME AWAY! Such a good convo so far, I know the rest will be great!
I'm a first time listener and generally i "listen" to you tube while working. At 52 minutes in I caught myself fully looking at the screen and looked back at my work monitor and noticed that it had gone black - after 30 minutes+ inactivity. This is really engaging and I think I might have found something to listen to - and look forward to - on long drives. Bravo.
Mate, if you feel compelled to watch the screen, maybe this shouldn't be your commuting companion?!?
I agree. Jimmy is a terrible co-pilot.@@triggerking135

@@wastelander1015its much easier when you learn the bad guys will always win because they dont have to worry about anyone else but themselves.

I am currently halfway through the podcast and I am finding this episode to be amazing. Thank you for providing such a great podcast.
this is the first one ive properly watched, and i been mental health therapist for 10 years and ive loved watching this. jimmy was right keep doing this, this is what is very interesting and relatable. the internet needs this kind of content. well done and keep it up. really good
"Life dysmorphia" goddamn that's such a great way of framing this issue!
Totally! Really makes me grateful.
I sometimes forget how smart a comedian has to be. I especially liked his thoughts on energy and STEM college being free, passport included, nice touch.
I watch most episodes, plus a lot of other podcasts….this has to be the best one I’ve had the pleasure listening to. Raw, honest, inciting, eye opening and the rest of it. Great, great stuff
I sporadically listen to the show, I love it! But I listen to so many things on the go at once. I couldn’t believe how insightful this conversation with Jimmy Carr was, I’m going to go back and listen to his other episode. I’ve listened to most of your BIG BIG guest episodes and this conversation is probably my favourite. Seriously thought provoking!
I watched a few interviews on this channel with amazing people but this one is by far the best, Jimmy shared some amazing wisdom without sounding pretentious and condescending.
This is truly one of the best interviews I've seen on this program.
Thank me yesterday. So apt. He’s brilliant. And so is the interviewer to choose and be able to banter wuicky and intelligently with these individuals
Absolutely brilliant thank you both for such a wonderful space to listen to the words and the message. Everything comes at a time we need it but it relys on us listen and observe ourselves, sitting here waiting for a life changing phone call on something I would wouldn't normally do and the started listening because I got I needed to and still waiting on this call. Very moving and thought provoking in one of the toughest times on my 45 years journey, thank you so much both of you

Powerful stuff from Jimmy and really resonated with me as I've been a bit down in the dumps lately, just work crap and I'm normally all about keeping perspective, but we all have a trip time to time. It's easy to forget I define my life and who I am, not my place of employment and those I work with. Cheers to you both for the reminder.
This interview was really something special. I've been going through some tough times lately, and this really lifted my spirit. It was very insightful and got me thinking about priorities in life. I thank you ❤
It's crazy how the best comedians are often the ones who are the most serious and insightful.
Deep thinkers to find the funny side of reality
this phony pushed the vax LMAO - be careful who you consider to be intelligent my friend
And great actors
I would expect the very best at anything to be serious and insightful.
Remember when he outcasted the unvaxxed 🤣🤔🧐
Wow Jimmy Carr’s messages are tearing me up! He’s dropping so many gems 💎 what an inspirational person ❤
Totally this! The saying with the "14 year old kids used to babysit, now they need babysitters" is one of them.
what about the message of him pushing the vax? was that a gem? he sold his soul - he ll be banished to another realm
7:40 I like this. I have some pretty bad ADHD and often find myself forgetting what I've done and not yet done, so when I come across something which I've done ahead and forgotten about, I happily exclaim "Thanks, Past Me!" I need to do it more often, and more purposefully 😊
Wow 1st time in evers that I've listened to ANYthing for 2 hrs in a row! Movies included! Color me impressed! Thank you! Love& Prayers
Jimmy is so insightful and I love how Steven gives him so much space to elaborate his points!
I am only 15 minutes in and i am loving this. I have never seen this side of jimmy carr. He is brilliant and this conversation is so organic. Thank you for this.
Ive always been in awe of people who collect cool sayings and quotes. When im in a conversation i rarely remember the topic let alone a great, deep poetic phrase to sum it all up.
This is superb. I am in the UK struggling with my pilot exams, wishing I was back home in Africa on the beach. The first 20 minutes hit hard, in a good way. I never knew Jimmy Carr was such a thinker. It always sits a bit wrong with me the hate that video games get though. I see them as essential to wind down after a long day. I genuinely look forward to them and enjoy them. I guess it's a balance of them not taking over life.
This made me well up. I remember when I was working at a customer's house and my father called me to let me know that my brother had been killed in a traffic accident while he was driving his lorry the night before. And all I can remember is starting to laugh and cry at the same time. My poor customer's didn't know what to do. Ah fook!!!.....I'm crying again just thinking about it and this was 15 years ago. 😪
Yeah, there is no right reaction. When my sister was killed, I went out and had a one night stand and then partied all summer. It took months before I could process it in a direct way. Everyone reacts differently.
I'm so sorry. Grief has no script.
Neither does time . I’m sorry to hear this . Sending you best wishes 👍
@@lindamacgregor8039 thank you.
@williammorris1384 thank you.
The way Jimmy explains anxiety in this episode has just blown my mind with clarity on my own anxiety. I’ve written it down - thank you Jimmy 🙏🏻

I've watched a few of your recent interviews, but Jimmy Carr is far more genuine than I expected.
One of the best podcasts i have ever listened to. Who would have known Jimmy Car was this deep. Jimmy, thank you for sharing some real truths. I can completely relate to a lot of what you have said. I needed to hear this. To know I’m not the only one who thinks or feels these things. Made such a huge difference to my week, where things were not quite going my way.
After watching the first interview with Jimmy Carr I was so inspired, I even checked his show tour and wanted to buy tickets to his show in Edinburgh in 2023.... I didn't in the end. Now, it's the second part, maybe the Universe is giving me a second chance, haha❤
Here's your revised post: Mr. Bartlett, thank you for having Jimmy Carr on your podcast. I could replay his dialogue countless times without getting tired-he's so genuine, humble, and relatable. His insights really help me understand myself and navigate my inner struggles. Kudos to both of you, I'm truly grateful.✨
Love that he mentioned showering! That, and vacuuming are the two things where I find myself being super grateful & thanking God. The thought of how lucky we are to have vacuums to clean and showers!😅
And washing machines
@@LR-vx4vr Amen! Especially top loading, analog ones:))
Sean Lock is a legend. I have begun to feel sort of warmer towards Jimmy Carr, the human behind the entertainment, ever since he has spoken about Sean Lock's passing! We didn't ask for it from Jimmy (or even expect Jimmy Carr to be so moved by Sean Lock's death)... but really appreciate the warmth of friendship in their ties!! Love is warm ❤
I may watch, but it's hard to reconcile this with his heartless, puerile comedy.
I have NEVER sat and watched anything like this before. This absolutely blew me away. Some really incredible thought provoking conversations, which I both relate to and hope to emulate in my personal life/ career. Loved it
One great thing about this channel is that Stephen continues to try and figure himself out, and he kind of measures and qualifies his guests by looking how applicable and tangible their stories are by measuring them on himself. It's something that Nathaniel Drew focuses on on his channel, it's a very authentic thing to do, and people easily feel engaged with it.
I hadn't expected so much wisdom here. Well done you two!
Wow! I've been a big fan of Jimmy's for years and it is so good to see and hear the man beyond the comedian. Thank you both so much and thank you Jimmy for sharing so generously.
I want to say I thank you for interviewing people like this. If it wasn't for you I would have never discovered that Jimmy Carr is a mentor that I never knew I needed.
*I love Jimmy, I also love that he’s become a reoccurring guest😂💕*
Recurring. I agree.
@@moisturisedgnome1181 He's not wrong you insufferable jacka$$ Reoccurring and recurring can both be used as a verb and an adjective. In general, they can both mean “occurring again” or “happening again.” However, there is a difference in how they are typically used. Reoccurring is typically used to simply mean that something is happening again. He is becoming something that happens again.......after a few more times he will be recurring!
This has to be one of the best interviews from this series. Jimmy Carr what an inspiration you are…I feel I have just had a therapy session on life ..loved it you spoke so much sense and truth
I love how insightful and cathartic your podcast guests are. It's like a dopamine spike, interest, intrigue and well spoken guests makes for binge listening! Jimmy Carr's stories and wisdom have really expanded my previous perspective, struggle bussing is one of the universal human experiences.
Jealous of what you've got, not how you got it - this is the most correct thing I have ever heard.
So is: the sun is yellow Do stating obvious things = great insight ????
@@007nadineL I think you missed the point.
@@007nadineL The sun isnt yellow, its more orange to me, good work on your 'fact'.
"Thankfulness is the Mother of all Virtues." What a great information message!
KZhead algorithms brought me to this by playing it after something else. I was not expecting to find Jimmy Carr to be wise & so philosophical. I have already recommended this to others as I genuinely think what he says is truly valuable. Brilliant stuff.
Simply lost for words.. pulled me out of a spiral and away from the edge.. Thank you Jimmy and thank you Steven for this platform and amazing content
Jimmy Carr doling out some of the most heart felt wisdom was not on my 2024 bingo card.
"Having stuff isn't fun... Getting stuff is fun." I can so relate to this.
Yes it’s a succinct way to describe how dopamine works
I took care of my stuff because I never knew when I would get it again. The family has disappeared.
Can you give me a specific example. What stuff is not fun ?
That's just simply not true. I have a motorcycle that I enjoy riding. I have fun on it. I also have a house. I like having a house as much as getting it. That line is only true for rich people who can have anything and only get excited when they first get it.
@007nadineL exactly... if you think about it, that line makes no sense.
Just saw this in my feed, and was taken aback, as my own father's name was Jimmy Carr, and I have never seen another with it. 😊 Have a great day y'all.
wow ive never heard jimmy talk to seriously and honestly how humbling and honest is the guy in this video. I truly think he has so much more to give people then just comedy he is really a great spokesperson and he really has dealt with a lot, what a legend and great comedian. Keep doing what you do Jimmy.
Incredibly thoughtful interview. I wasn’t expecting to feel so many emotions. Seeing Jimmy talk about Sean got me for sure. Much love to you both
My friend had a bad accident, 26 years old,can’t use 3 limbs ever again. I will never bitch about having to get up for work ever again, everything is perspective if you walk around a high dependency ward, somehow any depression you may be suffering from melts away and seems like trivia that really isn’t that bad anymore for a lot of cases I think….
Jimmy Carr - always knew he was super bright but wise and good too… can’t believe two hours was such a pleasure!
This is one of the most insightful things I've ever listened to.
Relationships with others make us happy and we don't have that anymore.
Absolutely!
I think animal living together! So what happened to your environment and people? Don't loose your hope....
Great to hear Jimmy talk about his friend Sean Lock. I just love to rewatch episodes of 8out of 10cats. Belly laugh through many episodes. Thanks for the memories
Rectum of the year. 😂
This is one of the best interviews I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. There is so much amazing content and wisdom I definitely need to revisit this in the future. Thank you for this video.
I’m 45 minutes in and I have already jotted down some of this wisdom on some post-it notes. I need to distill this and hear it every day. Holy smokes what a valuable lesson 😊
This might be my favourite episode yet. The critical thinking of these 2 together in a room is fantastic, I feel like I've learned so much!
I got the *exact* lesson in gratitude Jimmy mentioned whilst depressed and broke. I realised there are people that would give up billions of dollars to trade places with me in a heartbeat. Really puts into perspective how much power and beauty we have, and how little money really means in the grand scheme of things. I'm still overwhelmed by material concerns and struggle to keep that gratitude in my heart day to day, it's great to be reminded of this by Jimmy.
Life sucks but someone else has it worse. Well thank God lol
There should be some kind of swap your life thing, I'd want to try the billionaire thing for a bit
Whicb billionaires do you think would take up your offer❓️
I'm about halfway through and I am hooked, the number of pithy but accurate life advice quotes is amazing... The only thing I think they have both ignored (at least so far) is that not everyone who tries will succeed, even if they dedicate their life to a particular goal, failure is not just a possibility but a likelihood. From the perspective of someone who put the work in and succeeded I can see where they are coming from but I also recognize that for every Jimmy Carr who decided to pick a path and try to become the best there are thousands of people who picked a path and still exclusively play to disinterested rooms for £50. Most people will fail by virtue of the numbers, and those people may well have been better off choosing a good life over chasing a great one.
