Carr On Comedy | Jimmy Carr | EP 233

[@cornelbaluta]

Two things I have to say about this topic: 1. I had the delightful opportunity to pickup Dr. Jordan Peterson in 2018 from the London Heathrow Airport and drop him at his hotel in London. With Dr. Peterson I had the most amazing conversation for more than two hours because: a) Being from Romania he was very interested about the years I lived in communism and how I end up living in the UK. b) I had no idea at that moment who Dr. Peterson was. After we said goodbye in front of his hotel I've googled his name but the shock came next day when KZbin recommended me his videos and the famous interview with Cathy Newman. Dr. Jordan Peterson is a such a wonderful and humble person and he has my gratitude for life for helping me understand the wrong things I've done in my life and to fix it and to make peace with me and the world for a better future. 2. I had the same delightful opportunity to pick up Jimmy Carr from a BBC tv show in London in 2019 and drop him home. He is the nicest, coolest and clever guy I ever met. Totally different from what you see on the stage.

Agreed 👍🏼

[@zybch]

So many truly great comics and comedians have this same 'other' side that Jimmy is demonstrating so well here. John Cleese is another comedian who has a deep and some would find surprising understanding and interest in the mechanics of humour.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

He's wonderfully, refreshingly - courageously even - honest, especially when he speaks so articulately about the impact of his mother's death on his entire being. That's hard to do for most of us. However, "unexamined" was a word that came up in this conversation, though in a very general sense. I wouldn't want to be privy to any conversation where those things, whatever they are, might be examined. That's private ;)

[@unclebensrice4702]

Good to see this side of him didn’t know he was this articulate

[@psilo5623]

''the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety ; it's purpose'' -Jimmy Carr and Jordan Peterson I sat down 4 days before this video came out. I spent a couple of hours and mapped out what I wanted for my life. I've since stopped two nearly life long addiction WITHOUT EFFORT, where as before I could barely last two days. Funny that I stumbled upon this quote. It is true, and the biggest revelation of my life so far. When you take the time to produce a believable, precise vision of what your life could be, your urges to continue harmful habits will crash on a wall of steel.

[@victoriousjoy9338]

Brilliant

[@daedra40]

Inspiring stuff and a truly powerful shift in thought. Sobriety is merely the vehicle for the smoother journey without the addictive substance or behavior.

[@hebrews6915]

Wow, thank you for this!! I recently I signed up for a coaching course and wrote down the vision for my life. For a long time I've struggled with going to bed and getting up in the mornings, or wanting to do anything. I'd lie in bed with the laptop on my stomach, knowing that I can't face God at the end of my life. But I am catching glimpses of what it was like as a child.

[@Richard-cm3pl]

This is one of those pithy sounding quotes that people repeat without thinking it through. A serious addiction trumps purpose, that’s why addictions are soo tragic.

Most people are not that different from eachother, regardless of religion or politics. Generally all it takes is having some basic decency, respect for others and a modicum of common sense imo Combine that with keeping an open mind and not thinking that your opinion is per definition better than others and you have the ingredients for some very interesting conversations

Such an accurate statement by Jimmy; "You can joke about anything but not to everyone."

[@Goraiders75]

Just like you can/ should only tell certain people what's in your heart and certain people will only pretend to care

[@andersmadsen2145]

He's totally right about that when it comes to a social context. But when you are a comedian, you have a certain brand. Carr's brand is dark and offensive humor, if this is not your cup of tea that's totally ok, just don't go to the show. It's a problem when people who aren't going to the show, wants to change the show for the ones that enjoy it.

Wow, I never thought I'd see Jimmy Carr on here! I bumped into him in Exeter, England. It's great that Jimmy is doing this interview!

Jimmy dropped a gem. Comedy is like a conversation with like minded people. I was at a show and Eric Idle was in the lobby. I had heard a rumor he was going to be there, so I asked him in front of the club owner if he was going to be there that night, I was immediately part of a improv skit with him and the club owner had to clue! Eric completely got it!

Gervais says the same boring shit in every interview. He spends most of it moaning about how "you can't say anything on twitter" even though he says whatever he wants on twitter regardless of how offensive or unfunny it usually is. Then he moves on to summarising society by quoting an apprentice contestant saying "I'll do anything to win this, I'll stand on/ crush the opposition". Then he'll bullshit himself and the interviewer that AfterLife is the best show he's ever done, even though we all know that it's nothing more than overly sentimental, saccharine shite.

Although many would not expect this pairing, it really makes perfect sense. Jimmy Carr says things that many would not, as does Jordan Peterson. They both offer few to no apologies unless there is an honest mea culpa with no connection to phony media pressure. They both skillfully elaborate arguments that confound dogmatic ideologies. Apart from Dave Chapelle, Joe Rogan, and a few others, there aren't many big names putting themselves out there like this. And it's not left or right; these people cover the spectrum of reasonable thinking. Reasonable thinking. Just saying.

I loved the last question at the end about why Jimmy wanted to interview with you! We all feel we need the voices of truth but mostly wisdom...you not just a great father figure for young men but all ....the conversations you have are so generous and genuine 💕 I loved you ask such beautiful questions that open people's hearts and things you never knew about them ....like Jimmy's mums narcolepsy (personality this is the reason I think he became a comedian nothings more funny that making your auntie with it laugh so much she collapses in her food...once on a bicycle..Got a right telling off that time). The fact that Jimmy answered his favourite comedians and one was Shawn Lock was so heart warming Shawn in my eyes will always be the comedians comedian. I will never forget how I was tricked into thinking Jordan was a villain by MSM but great full for it as it has opened my eyes at a time that was needed.

[@streglof]

"we love each other so much that even the worst blows don't really matter" I think maybe a more accurate way to describe this phenomenon is like this: when people of a certain culture are capable of taking the worst possible kinds of insults then this is an indication of a high-trust society. In other words, the more people distrust their fellow citizens, the more dangerous any form of insult is regarded and vice versa.

[@jonathonshaw6688]

Yeah, I would say it's that we are able to trust that the person appearing to insult us doesn't really mean it.

[@streglof]

@@jonathonshaw6688 That or if he or she does, that there's no actual real threat behind the insult. If you don't see your fellow citizens as a potential threat, even a really meant insult doesn't carry much weight. But these days we're telling kids that even words and ideas are an actual existential threat to their existence so I guess that explains the recent increase in demand for censorship these days.
