      I love to see white people succeed... just kidding, that would be racist, right? I like this comedy, but when you're calling out racism please remember that if you care about the medal winners skin colour then you are being a bit racist yourself. That's a white job, ha.

      ​@alarin612 The Bridgerton sons have many hobbies & fencing is one. It is shown on screen too. However much more screen time is given to boxing & they spectate more than they participate. If you're going to say "this didn't happen on this show" it's best to be caught up with all the seasons and episodes. Now that said, nobody NEEDS to watch Bridgerton. It just strikes me if you want to be pedantic enough to correct people, at least be correct.

      That was for floor. Simone won 3 gold medals (Teams, All Around, and Vault) and got a silver for Floor. She unfortunately didn't medal for Beam due to an uncharacteristic fall, but given that it's usually unlikely for the All Around gold medalists to medal in other events (mostly because they used all of their energy to get the All Around medal, that's normal (it's kind of what happened with Sunisa Lee, and even then she still got bronze in Bars).
      (Though I know this is off topic, the Italians surprised everyone by having an Italian gold medalist for Beam and they won silver for Teams. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but Italy NEVER medals, it's usually the USA, China, Russia or Romania who medal. Both Italy and Brazil were dark horses this year, Italy more so since they don't even have their own Rebeca Andrade and they did as usual in the last Olympics)
      Frankly, a lot of people aren't also talking about how both Simone Biles and even Rebeca Andrade are also outliers since there's not many Olympic Gymnasts who are 27 and 25 and competing at their level. At their age, many gymnasts are retiring and both medalled!

He seems like a really smart dude and it seems like comedy just comes super effortlessly to him and that's why he's been my favourite comedian lately. It just seems so genuine while still being hilarious.

There was no way for me to guess. I did NOT look at the marquee and the people in line said nothing. When the two people came on stage I closed my ears, and then figured out it was comedy. I closed my ears until the HEADLINER came on and it was JOSH. I was excited, I almost screamed. I smiled so hard and laughed even harder. Great show, did not disappoint. The crowd that was there to see him is a testament to how good he is. We were able to met him and he is uber nice. GREAT SHOW from one of my favorite young comedians!!!!!!

    Years ago my husband and I went to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer at a place that served drinks. When we got home he spent the evening trying to do cartwheels. He was in some pain the next day. The last time I did a cartwheel i smacked my foot on a sturdy table.

I know many Americans do not care about fencing (that's ok) and font know anything about other countries (that's NOT okay), but Laura Flessel is a LEGEND in France, and I think she's pretty famous worldwide, as far as "fencing famous" carries you. She's the only fencer most people in France can name anyway.

    Thank You. You had me laughing with tears, at the no lights dinner. You are by far, my favorite comedian. 😂🤣 And it’s a Black Women’s Summer, Fall, and the next 4 years. ❤️🤍💙
