5 Things I learned from celebrating New Years with my bright friends

[@redskin4040]

What makes all of his comedy so funny is because it's true lol. To heck with pc. I'm white and if you can't laugh at this there's no hope for you. Keep'em coming Josh.

[@redskin4040]

@Jesus Christ thanks Jesus Christ

[@bethshadid2087]

Yea this should be mandatory for all self hating whites to watch in school 😂😂

[@lauram3115]

redskin4040 Exactly!!! If we can’t find humor in the differences and laugh at ourselves, we are doomed. I love this guy! Cracks me up. 😂

[@redskin4040]

@@lauram3115 you're right. This is the way things use to be. Heck when I was in school all of my friends from all different cultures use to cut up with each other like this. We all laughed and nobodies feelings got hurt. Still friends with them today. Even though I don't get to see most of my friends anymore because of jobs and bills lol. Most of them moved all over the US.

[@evilal20]

Exactly, I'm white and I've literally laughed my ass off

[@sharonw.9091]

I'm an old southern white woman and I still honor my mom's tradition of blackeyed peas, turnip greens and hog jowls on New Year's Day. It is supposed to bring prosperity in the coming year. The peas are symbolic of coins and the greens of paper money. We never wash clothes on New Year's Day because of the superstition of washing a family member away. I know it's rediculous because we lose loved ones anyway but I now believe it was mom's way of taking the day off from doing laundry. I guess different people have different tradition but unfortunately I believe some are dying with us old people. Thank you Josh for putting a smile on this old woman's face. I still believe you need your own sitcom. I just might start watching TV again if you did. God bless and Happy New Year.

[@lyndajaeger4477]

I am a not so old southern white lady and i still have black eyed peas and ham hocks every new years day. With greens on the side.

[@sharonw.9091]

OMG! You get funnier and funnier. I have binged and laughed all day until my sides hurt. The guns are redneck fireworks, hon. I still laugh when I remember working under a lady from New York on her first Southern New Year's Eve. She came in the next morning asking, "Why was everybody shooting guns at 12 o'clock?" "Well, fireworks are illegal here, so if you can't get to the neighboring state to buy some before New Year's Eve, you shoot off redneck fireworks". "Damn," she said, "I thought we were being invaded".

Black-eyed peas are pretty much standard New Year's Day good luck fare for most people who reside in the southern portion if the United States. The one year I didn't eat Black-eyed Peas on New Day could rightly be called the Year from H*** - so I am now officially superstitious about the tradition. P.S.: If you really want to blow people away next year memorize the 2nd verse of Auld Lange Syne, as well as the 1st verse.

[@asphodelale]

There's a second verse? Now if you REALLY want to freak out people, sing the second and third verses of The Star-Spangled Banner. (Though, TBH, so few Americans know the rest of it, you might have people thinking you're an over-studied foreign spy if you do, LOL.)

[@leslieshafer6343]
