He is so right. When I retired, at first I enjoyed it but, after a year of not having any purpose, I found myself angry all the time and miserable. I used to play the violin when I was a kid and I decided to get another fiddle and started relearning the music that I always really wanted to play. Now every day there is purpose in my life. Not only do I love learning new songs but, people around me enjoy my music and it seems that I bring them some happiness. I don't always agree with Lewis but he is so right in this vid.
Wish I was retired I've been stuck in a shitty factory job for 8 years so a violin sounds great
Well said and for me the truth.
I’ve gotten through the last 25 years of my life by focusing on golf.
How about spoiling those grand kids of yours if you have any?
If they live from pay check to pay check and can't afford to take any time off, then by all means
Share some of that abundance of yours.
Other than that, I have for a long time held the belief that oldies should retire completely.
Divorces yourself from politics as well.
@@bohemianwriter1
Where did you get the idea that “oldies” drop out of everything and just spend money on grandkids? Did your grandparents abuse you or something?
Lewis Black and his finger - comic genius.
These reality rants are priceless. Best since Carlin.
Carlin was king but Lewis Black is right there at the same level.
Agreed. To me Lewis Black has a great mixture of comedy, seriousness, giving a shit about stuff, and telling it like it is (in his view, at least). What’s awesome is that he doesn’t pick on groups of people for no reason in his rants. Generally any negativity he spouts has a purpose or a point. It’s a good change from a number of other folks’ acts.
@@elp5668
The thing about picking on groups is that a comedian should always punch upward. Go after the privileged and powerful (especially abusers of power).
Comedians whom shit on disenfranchised minorities are just bullies and terrible at their craft; it's like watching a boxer knock out an invalid and presuming himself a champ.
Lies and blasphemy! Lewis Black is fantastic, but George Carlin has his own room in stand up comedy lore, he sits alone good sir.
👍👍
"Fuck. It was so much nicer when I was irritated." Truer words have never been spoken.
I love Lewis Black. I used to live in Elgin IL back in the late 80's. He was in the movie "Accepted" as a College dean. He was great in it. Thanks.
“Find something you really love to do and focus on it.” -Lewis Black 👍
Great line very true.He is right.
Seems to many people focus on the negatives.
He's not the first to say this, and he won't be the last. Jordan Peterson says this too, in his class and in his book.
"We're all gonna die, but it's coo"- Jesus
They do. They focus on being miserable.
Most underrated Stand-Up Comedian since George Carlin
@AC84 my left nut wants the address of whatever the shit SJW is then.. the rest of me is all riled up in a fever of agreement to my nut and relief that finally there are coordinates on the root of the cause. Easy pair of medium ICBMs will be launched immmediately upon recieving said coordinates. Thank you.
@Justin Time That's not because of SJWs, but because no one would fund it.
Mel's humor is very special and shit like that is not really great, from a monetary standpoint.
George Carlin was massively successful and practically world-famous :) This comment is overrated bro! (joking)
He's not underrated is just suppressed by SJW snowflake sensitivities and the media that supports them
DJ ALLDAY best of all time. # 2 Lewis black. # 3 Sam Kinoson. #4 jerry Seinfeld. #5 Robin Williams. And the best of all time, Richard Pryor. His description of when he set himself on fire is the funniest thing I have ever heard. By the way, guess who is not on the list.
Lewis is one of the great angry comics.
Was in the Elgin audience - what a great time! LB is very nuanced in his long form and does different kinds of material than you're used to on TV. The ending livestream event addressing audience comments was an extra little dessert. Had a great time!
I live in Pittsburgh and when we replaced the front door a couple of years ago, we found soot in the door jams. There was a steel mill down the hill below my house years ago. When I bought this house the Mill was gone. But with all the remodeling we been doing we keep finding soot. The roof we replaced last summer was a freaking nightmare under it. Pittsburgh was really bad back in day.
Two friends of mine who grew up in Steel Country have so much toxins in their bodies from that industry they can't do any kind of cleanse because it will come out of their fat and marrow tissues and kill them. Meanwhile, they suffer from extreme lung issues. Just living in Coal Country now (not even working at the mines) means certain sickness from siliconosis, because strip mining tosses micro-particles into the air everywhere. Pollution has ruined their water, their air, and their mental abilities from the toxic effects on their brain tissues. They can't even eat fish from the streams there because it's all poisoned. In Houston, raw crude oil falls from the sky during certain weather patterns. Everyone carries glass cleaner and paper towels in their cars so they can pull over and clean their windshields to be able to see while they drive.
@@m.k.c.5212 God, this is depressing. But thank you and informing us, nevertheless :'(
I grew in the burgh when the mills were still running. My whole family as asthma.
Born in '55.. Duck and cover drills (nuclear war) In elementary school and hearing casualty reports from Vietnam in the '60 's.
Born in 1954. I can still remember the day they first showed the atomic bomb drill in school. In case of attack we were told to hide under our desks and the movie showed school kids doing that. The next scene showed the school building blowing up. I must have been in the 3rd, or 4th grade and I thought to myself, I these people idiots? Turns out I was spot on. Here's the deal people. If you have troubles in your life it's your fault. You, and only you, are responsible for your own happiness. Don't ever put your happiness into the hands of someone else. If you do, you are never going to see it again. It's your life, take control of it and never look back. Today is a new day. Do something good today.
Jeff Antilla ...I was born in 57 and I remember duck & cover drills in kindergarten & 1st grade in Illinois. I also remember finding them scary.
I was born in '52 and did the duck and cover , air raid warning system drills and my mom almost swerving off the road when it hapened 'cause she didn't"t understand the concept of an atomic bomb and she thought her swerving would make us harder to hit !!!! What amazed me was Vietnam officially started in '64 and here i was in ' 71 fighting in I corps .
Lew has a great bit about that.
@@bernie9728 I realized pretty early on that those drills were BS. We were told to pay attention as we walked to and from school to note places we could hide behind on each block, like brick yard walls or metal containers. That way, if we saw a bright blast in the sky that was a nuke, we'd be safe. One day I just stops doing that. I knew that if everyone I loved was gone and we were all going to die the painful, slow death of radiation poisoning I'd rather not be left alive. I decide I would to turn and walk towards the fire ball, instead.
Cholera, smallpox, witch burnings, leaded gasoline. .. Yeah, that stuff was so much fun...
Lewis Black. Such a Legend in Comedy and an all-time great Hall of Famer! Thank's for this Lewis, your perspective on "Focusing on that one thing you love to do" was incredibly impactful to me. I had to rewind it a couple times, such a very powerful thing to say to a Generation, and GENERATIONS!
Your work is such a blessing to the World, and even more so since you developed the ability to deliver it from such an expansive platform.
You are a great man Lewis Black, don't let all the negative shit bother you.
You have your finger on the pulse of humanity, and your great work's of Reality Perspective and finding humor in it are absolutely legendary.
I'm saying this as a fan of your work, but also as an admirer of your Leadership ability and Wise Word's.
Thank's for the laughs and the perspectives Lewis Black.
Sincerely,
G. Foster.
He's picked up the torch from George Carlin
True this. Joseph Campbell said, "Follow your bliss." Lewis says, "Find something you love to do and do it." I say that many years ago I decided to be happy and I found that the decision holds through incurable, degenerative and painful disease, loss of love, attempted humiliation by people who are not stupid, a crazily toxic family, hunger, cold, homelessness, and the list goes on. Do you live your life or does your life live you? Happiness is a capacity which grows through practice, just like everything else worth having. It's a part of you. Nurture it. Get good at it.
There's a great line from a song by Rush called Totem:
"I believe in what I see, I believe in what I hear
I believe that what I'm feeling changes how the world appears . . . "
I remember when the smog was so thick in LA. It was hard to see.
kim wiser do you realize your statement when the smog was so thick in LA indicates that you’re trying to say that it’s better now it’s not better.
Thomas Shook I don’t know your age. I know there is still smog but not as bad as it used to be when I was younger. They changed the fuels used. There are more people living there now so that will have something to do with it.
We older folks tripped over jobs had cheap homes and almost free college and did we preserve that for our children? Hell no!
@@03185212345 you might want to chill out a bit. What started out as a rebuttal transformed into a rant directed at the voices in your head. Unless you know him personally, I believe you have made a significant number of wild assumptions.

True. But reward for having horrible wars to live through. Now just unending wars where we ask is that war still going on-crap it’s been 18 years!!!

dave d You’re full of shit.
"So don't yell at me, godammit." You get me, man.
In 1976 I worked at a Volkswagen dealership in Florida. We would get new cars from a plant somewhere in North Pennsylvania and the cars were sprayed with a thick creosote solution that had to be cleaned off by kerosene when we got them before they can be put on the showroom floor. The creosote served as a protectant to stop the acid rain from attacking the clear coat. It was plenty of work!
I worked at a Toyota dealership, and the cars came in covered in Cosmoline, which had to be removed the same way. That was in the heart of the Midwest, in Kansas, and they were coming from California. I think it was just used to protect the paint in transit, as we had no acid rain. Now they use adhesive film coverings.
@@davidm5707 yeah this was specific to the cars that came into Florida from Pennsylvania. But you are correct that cosmoline was the substance we had to remove was kerosene. I had forgotten the name of it actually. Thanks!
@@porkfied Sorry but you're dead wrong on this. The VW Rabbit, Rabbit Diesel and The Thing all had clearcoat and that was the reason they used a coat of creosote to prote t it. I detailed every car from the Pennsylvania production plant and after cleaning the creosote off the car we rustproofed them with a anti-corrosive called Rusty Jones, and then we had a very small tube of a gel-like substance to finish off which was a Clear Coat Protectant. I remember it distinctly.
Great vehicles back then I remember the muscle cars .
I believe they were from Mount Pleasant, Pa. Just outside of Pittsburgh.
I live in Pittsburgh and he's spot on about the pollution in the 40s and 50s.
& Trump wants to take us

Lewis Black...….. A CLASSIC!!!!
Nice! I tune in for a bit of comic relief, and it closes with some of the best advice ever given! Well done!
I am a baby boomer. We were going to change the world and make a better place. Well it was nice thought.
I had thought there was no possible way we could do worse than my parents’ generation, but we have easily done so. We found new ways to glorify greed, screw the environment and make war on countries that hadn’t done anything to us, despite the fact that we had access to information that should have guided us to better decisions.
Jess Webb yep it’s the assholes of our generation that screwed us
Look at all the shif for brains in Congress around age 70+...and the legal criminals they bought to run the DOJ
Yours was a very privileged generation, that was so selfish that they didn't think to pass on the wonderful opportunities that they enjoyed.
So dumb to think your generation didn't improve the quality of living for many. Sadly it's really made it so easy and cushy that millennials have to manufacture things to get angsty about.
I'm an early Boomer, born in Pittsburgh. I had lung problems (could barely breathe) because the air was so polluted. Doctors recommended that we move away, so Dad packed up the family and moved us to Denver, where the air was clean but there wasn't much of it (mile high city and all that.) Did I mention Dad smoked like a chimney? That's when the old COPD/emphysema bastard found out HE couldn't breathe and the doctors told him to move on to sea level. So Dad packed up the family again and moved us to San Diego, where, when you looked to the north, the sky was as brown as Louis's shoes. That was Los Angeles/Long Beach.
Looking back, Dad wasn't too fucking bright.
andhisband: Are we supposed to be amused that you talk about your father that way? My guess is that he worked hard, supported his family, and was doing the best job he could. You sound like a spoiled brat.
I remember we were close to New Jersey an hour before just by the smell.
Tara Gragg that metallic, strange chemical smell not to far from Manhattan.
It still smells, as soon as you get out of the Lincoln tunnel
This is so true. Haven't been in a while, but as a kid living in Brooklyn, we used to go to the drive in theatre, and we knew we were close to Jersey due to the nasty sulfur odors we could smell. I can still remember 55 years later looking for the damn cloud I was sure was nearby. It was nasty.
Some background: When you ride a m/c and smell that Jersey smell it means there's a plastic bag stuck to your exhaust pipes. You must pull over and scrap it off while it is still melted or it will forever scar your pipes. The true story: The one time I rode my m/c over the Pulaski Bridge. I smelled that smell and pulled over. Upon inspection of my exhaust pipes I discovered no such plastic bag. I realized it was the ambient air quality. YUCK! Also, NEVER ride a m/c thru any of the Jersey tunnels going to/from Manhattan. You will pass out from the vehicle fumes. Avoid the Midtown tunnel from Queens, as well.
pollution? i was in high school in the 50 s - 60s. we had pictures of LA where you couldnt see the buildings. NOW you can really see the buildings now days. so YES some things are better now. and i didnt make it up.
Donora, Pennsylvania had a pollution inversion in 1948. Killed 20, sickened 6,000.
What does that even mean? The smog would have just gone into the atmosphere and the damage is done regardless of smog now, so mathematically, things are consistently becoming worse because the error of yesterday still looms as tomorrow's theoretical disaster.
@WinstonIV yikes
Great depression, no day at the beach, classic
Every generation blames the previous generation...it's just what we do
Neh! We generation X didn't blame anyone for anuyhing,we were too busy playing and having fun.
Isn't that what the Millennials' complaint is, Gen X playfulness is causing their woes? Don't worry be happy doesn't work any more.
@@lafierechienne6921 you guys kind of got sidled 🤣 no offense
Lewis, you are a genius comedian. Whatever you do, keep up the good work.
I’m proudly childless by choice.
I avoided so much grief.
You could do a great Bernie impression, love your humor
I grew up during the Viet Nam war. Ever since the draft was abolished, the incredible change that has occurred in the military has been astounding. My mother was discharged from the Navy because she got married. Now there are women fighter pilots. Millennials have no idea what suffering is.....during the depression, there was an infant mortality rate that it was commonplace for a child to die. No vaccines, no antibiotics, no doctors. Like Lou, I could go on all day. Remember when LA was famous for its smog? It would burn your eyes and throat and this went on for decades. Thats why on weather reports they have an air quality report because in LA, there were days when you couldn't go outside. That all started in smoggy LA.
He is truly a master
Lewis love your rants!!
I remember driving through Pittsburgh from West to East in early 1971. We went from clear air and it seemed like we literally descended into Hell. The smoke and smog was horrific. When we finally climbed out on the East side, it seemed like a reprieve. I will never forget that drive.
Remember Love Canal? Remember when the Cayahoga River literally caught on fire because of the pollution? I was 7 yrs old when I saw that on the news.
Alan Foxman me too
...and then we DID SOMETHING about it! People called us tree huggers and stupid liberals and everything else....yet, look at the air in LA now. Also, look at how certian people want to turn the clock back and go back to rivers starting on fire.
@Frank Parrish Correct your grammar.... "I order" ?? So, if YOU want to be taken seriously...... :)
Larry Drozd ..it’s really simple.
Alan Foxman ...Hey, Ho, way to go, Ohio...;)!
Thank you, Lewis!
AWESOME, come to Philly this year!
Lol! No wonder Lewis Black voiced Anger from Inside Out! 😂
Remember when Londoners died by the scores during a weather inversion that kept all the coal dust and smoke from dissipating after Churchill refused to plan for just such a projected disaster? He didn't want businesses to suffer. Nothing has changed, only the disasters are covering bigger areas.
Most younger people have no idea how bad smog used to be. I can remember NYC in the late 1960s when you could barely breathe or see more than a few blocks. However, London in 1952 (Churchill was PM) was the worst. www.history.com/news/the-killer-fog-that-blanketed-london-60-years-ago

But that's not environment in the way that was used in the video. That person's all was he talking about climate change.
And yeah, by the time we're all dead and the next generation is getting old, it could be ugly because of us.
I forget the exact number, but at a certain level of CO2, nothing we know how to do can reverse it.
And TBH, not only does it not take a very large increase to wipe out many of our food crops completely, but just the slight increase we've had in the last 100 years is costing us billions in Lost crops every year worldwide, and the costs (and losses) are increasing as the temperature does.
All of our grain crops, which is by far the main food source for the majority of the people on the planet, are highly sensitive to temperature changes, and climate change in general, and they have evolved in this environment.
@Jim Alley
TBH, that same smog problem has happened in many countries, and killed many people.
London just happened to have bad weather luck at that particular time.
@@lordgarion514, Mexico City, Beijing, L.A. , Hong Kong, Bogota, Rio, so many others
the ice caps have more than halved. Global warming could trigger a new ice age because of chain reactions over a long period of time. People who are not up to par (intellectually) then think Global warming to be a fraud.
Lovely gems of knowledge and wisdom Sir L' Black
I would love to join him in a rant!! love him
The ending suggestion works for me. That’s all I do is just invest in what I love then work n go to bed.

THAT’S WHERE I WAS BORN!!!! The original St. Joesphs hospital....
The greatest words of wisdom I've heard in the last 5 minutes. Thanks!
Speaking with a Milinial and he said to me, "You came up in the Golden Era. You had great jobs, benefits, and the land was cheap."
I looked at him and replied, "I guess I missed it because I always had two and three jobs just to get ahead. In fact, I use to keep track of my hours on a calendar and I remember one year I counted having four days when I did not have to go to a job."
He looked at me dumbfounded and shocked.
I asked him how many jobs he is working.
End of conversation.
That was the greatest recall of a conversation I am heard in a long time. I have much appreciation for this posting In that I am a baby Boomer and am tired of The rantings of the most Physically docile generation I am witnessed or have historically researched. Their idea of a major problem is a wrongfully done order at Starbucks.
He was dumbfounded because he couldn't believe it was that easy to get a job. You guys had it great don't kid yourself.
@@glenn2canespasiliao164 I agree Glenn. I like these kids and yes it is a bit tougher game on them but they need to push harder.
The year was 1990, when my daughter became sick. I was overwhelmed with medical bills and the pre-Obama perfect healthcare system screwed me into the ground with medical debt. All of my conservative friends tried to get me to file bankruptcy. I refuse to do it. I worked two and three jobs for four years. I pulled one more year to payoff my personal debt so I could divorce my wife. I look back on those years and realized how much I destroy my health.
At age 40 I went back to being a hardrock miner. For eleven years I hit the mining business hard and buying rentals. At age 51 took a hard fall on a job and had my knee replaced. That is when they found I had cancer. Two weeks after my radical prostate cancer surgery my gallbladder had to be removed. I had my near-death experience and woke up a changed person. I cut my daughter off-quit giving her money, I quit donating to charities, and I stop listening to bullshit. The cancer cost me three of my four homes. The banks and creditors were willing to take everything I had until I made it back to work and record time.
I spent the next four years busting ass, paid off my home and my properties.
I came back from a mining project in Central America and got rear-ended by a kid texting his girlfriend. It damn near snap my neck and gave me brain damage. It has been four years since the accident and I am getting screwed to death by attorneys. I now am on disability because of that kids actions and I am lucky, in the fact that I draw 100% disability at almost the highest rate they offer.
I was hit by a business and I will be lucky to get $10,000 out of this lawsuit when there is a million dollars on the table. These lawyers are the most rotten bastard people on the face of the Earth. Had I not worked as much as I did and tried to put away and pay things off I would be financially devastated right now. my hom and propertiesare paid off. This April I will be on Medicare.
With about a half a brain I am challenged to figure out a way to make extra income. I am a workaholic till the day I drop.

I'm a 31 year old millenial and Lewis is absolitely right, especially at the very end. I recently discovered I love to act. And i love being around people in theatre. Keep in mind, I've been a socially anxious wreck my whole life. I never in a million years thought i would be able to go on a stage or in front of a camera and do this shit. I didnt grow up with theatre, i was never in any drama club at school, hell i skipped most of my classes on top of being physically and mentally sick throughout my teens and 20s. No relationships except one bad one and a handful of god-sent friends. Now I'm doing what I love with people I love, who have had very different life experiences from me. And all the bad shit bothers me a lot less. This mud isnt so bad

Love the guy. His rants are as good as Carlin. And that’s saying a lot. I rant like this but I gotta start recording them.
Why does no one ever have anything to say about generation X? We are the forgotten generation for some reason. Everything goes from boomers straight to millennials. Like we don't even exist. Hey, I have an idea for a rant! Lol

How about you consider college tuition has more than tripled since the 80s housing is unaffordable because of inflation When GENERATION x could get a crappy low paying job and be able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment easily and the fact that we have to pay more taxes for your deficit
@@nessfinesse575 you are talking to the wrong person, princess. I was born in the 80s so I'm not of the generation where you claim everything was so cheap. I paid for my own college thus far with every penny out of my pocket without any aid from the government or family. I bought a house after the housing bubble when prices were low. The government helped create those problems. College was cheap because the government was not writing blank checks to the colleges. If you didn't have the money you didn't go. But today you can go and major in anything useless and the government will just blindly and without question write the check. Human nature would dictate that colleges that have shareholders would increase their tuition rates in order to grab more of that government gravy. Same thing with housing. It was artificially inflated thanks to actions from the government. You sound like you live in California. Here's a crazy idea, move somewhere else. I paid $76,000 for my house and it was brand new and no one has ever lived in it before. And it's 1300 square feet with a two-car attached garage, central air, 2 bathrooms, etc. If things are so expensive for you, then be a minimalist and learn how to fix your own vehicles and drive older vehicles and buy a much smaller house just like our grandparents did and did with thanksgiving. Part of the problem is this generation wants to have it as good or better than the climax of where our grandparents or parents made it in life. If they got to the end of their life and had a fancy house, this generation wants to have it first thing instead of work up to it.

In the 1970's, my dad would take me and my brother over to Youngstown, Ohio to watch the trains operate around the steel mills. The sky was orange (I'm not making that up!) and there was a smell in the air that I cannot describe (sulfur?). Today, the steel plants are closed, the sky is blue and there's no smell. I miss the smell when I visit now.
Lewis would make a great. President he tells the truth
oh, the notebooks back, .....great lewis
Very sound advice!
Focus on something you like!
Um.. "... that was before the big thaw" (movie: Five Easy Pieces)
At the very end it's true best f****** advice ever
Even though Lewis Black is incredibly funny and is the best comedian of our time. there is an underlying fact about him, and that is he is absolutely correct in what he says he is totally brilliant.
Nothing was on that ipad. Lewis wrote what he appears to be reading.
It’s true. I’m 63 and I’ve found that sitting on my small patio and staring at a brick wall (this is not made up) is better than caring about what nonsense DC is going to come up with next. I’m a habitual brick starer, but hey, it works. There are the occasional bathroom breaks that are the scourge of my day (more because I’m older than dirt), but I would recommend brick staring to anyone seeking an escape from “Wakadootle World” and the not so fair burg of crazy town.
I truly believe he would have been the greatest dad to grow up with. Love Lou.
Damn when g come to my town?
You are right about the air quality or lack thereof in Pittsburgh, or any steel city, in the 50's and 60's. Don't let me get started about the non random perversity of the draft during the Vietnam war. Every generation complains that they were screwed over by their parents' generation. I started my engineering career in 1970, the year, or one of them when the aerospace industry went to sleep and dumped engineers by the tens of thousands on the job market. It is what it is. It always is what it is.
Damn LEWIS BLACK IS THE BEST COMEDIAN Working Today
Spot on political views and historian.
"None of this shit will bother you" but the problem still remains
He is the best.
Amazing guy - should do a European tour more often
You GOTTA LOVE IT! People that live lives of luxury don't appreciate anything they have. People love to be melodramatic.
Very good advice, finding your calling in life puts bullshit in perspective.
I wonder how this would have been read a year later
Bingo. My father was a depression baby. He had scurvy.
Bing bong is swearing 🤭
Visit Chapel Hill, NC.
Perfect response.
I like you, Lewis Black!
I'm a 90s born millenial. (92) The overwhelming majority of 90s born people don't own property. Globalists are draining our banks with inflation.
Hey, atleast you grey haired people in the comments had the opportunity to.own a house 😂😂
I wish I could find out what I love to do! I only know what I hate!
Genius!
