[@mehdimakraz9058]

Hi fellow humans!! I am the guy in the hat !! This is not a hippie commune. Honestly, we are just a group of friends that go camping together and play music, sing, swim and dance. Taj asked if he could join us and film his journey and we said sure. We had no idea it would turn out like this. But life does its thing as it flows and what ever needs to happen just happens. But none of us are actors or reading a script... just breathing nice nature air and being together ♡

That is honestly so cool. I need a friend group like yours to just vibe with. I hope you all stay chill and safe during these crazy times.

I’m struggling to watch it because of how uncomfortable the whole video feels. I get that’s the humour they were going for and it appeal to some people, but I personally think it’s rather disrespectful to the community the video is about. You can see everyone featured is really trying but all he’s focused on is making backhanded sarcastic comments and poking fun at the beliefs of the community

[@PalCan]

You mean rather disrespectful to the ventriloquist community?

[@moneer7139]

Have you seen his other videos he always makes it look vicariously embarrassing for him and the featured person/group which is why he is funny af

It's rare to see any piece of art or media strike such a sublime balance of earnestness, satire, discomfort, ease, artifice, and honesty. So human, so clever.

[@henk8105]

These people seem so chill, I don't like how this video is put together in a way to make them look goofy.

I don't even have to watch the video to know it's a banger with Taji in it

[@NoahNobody]

So this was a touching video. It was good to see that community, as it kind of reminded me of how people can be, or what we are capable of. It also taught me about self forgiveness, which to me meant experiencing, instead of thinking, experiencing instead of fearing.

This is genius, and adding the breaking of the 4th wall with the outtakes is great

I got the impression he was on it. It seemed scripted, maybe they agreed the awkward exchange would be funny.

[@YaleProductions]

The idea to use the ventriloquist podcast conflict as the hook to play-off a spiritual healing episode is journalistic genius. Would love to imagine it was thought of before they even had those guys on the podcast - elite level trolling

Taji! You're looking great my dude! I hope you're happy. because you deserve it! I love watching the episodes you're in. you seem like such a genuinely good guy!

This is the first video I've ever seen of Taji's. I subbed to Vice as a result. But I GENUINELY thought the ventriloquist was in on the absurdist humor of this video... Then I did research, and WTF?! Is it ACTUALLY stunning to some people that Jeff Dunham isn't Jesus and he CAN, in fact, be pretty offensive? Wow XD

Taji and Vice have reinvented journalism, this is amazing, the fact that they can document experiences and journal for information and at the same time have the viewer laugh, is amazing. Really good job, very well done. I give this series and Taji himself a 5-star review.

this isnt journalism though...more like a chronicle
