      Picking up the Tarot cards to play. I laughed so hard. Thankyou, from now on, for making me smirk everytime I think or see Tarot cards again.
      Amazing a joke can permanently attach and add itself to a thought.
      Genius to do be able to create that.

      It's true! I grew up watching old movies and I think about people like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and Doris Day who could sing and dance and act. Gene Kelly could even dance on roller skates! They were so talented. You have people like that now but also so many other people that aren't the "triple threats" we used to see. Like singers that are actually better at dancing, or tiktok videos that go viral for who knows why and suddenly someone is famous.
      it's so easy with social media to get famous for something silly.

    I only discovered your work a few days ago. Several hours in, my wife and my 80+ mom are floored by your work as well. You possess the most original stand-up voice I've heard in far too many years. Yeah, you're an entertainer, and a world-class comedian, but you're also a philosopher, and an incisive observer of our world, our culture.
    I'm in my 60s, and I've been listening to the greats of comedy since I was in single digits, since dinosaurs roamed the earth - since the actual 60s. I'm putting you right up there in the pantheon, no joke. Your command of language, your ability to think on your feet, take risks, and faultlessly land a line are all the marks of a champion, and put you in a class well above the simple term 'comedian'; you're the real thoughtful deal. Thanks for shining a little light. Stay fearless - onstage, at least - and keep on keepin' on.

Until that last damn line. When i say laughter burst out of me like a freight train and feels like it took my 3 ribs with it and maybe broke a few more on the way out, I aint jokin. Holy shit he is dangerously funny. That call back hit me outta nowhere. BRAVO Josh!! Everyone else, stay safe.

Your delivery and cadence is incredible, and I love the buildup, the slow payoff, and above all else, the simplicity of your jokes. Everything is so relatable, and even when it’s personal stories you walk us through so we feel like we’re right next to you, watching it happen.
    Many times I have shaken my head with disbelief at how smooth your segues are, and how unique each one is. You’re probably my favorite comedian, not just on RUclips.

    Apparently, according to the comments, goldfish can live a lot longer than we think (35+ years). And I think that makes his analogy even better. If someone is a goldfish, depending on the level of care and attention we give them they could last a week to many, many years. Outliving the dog we had that we thought would outlive the goldfish. We give these people attention online over stupid stuff (even negative attention) the longer that goldfish will be around. 😂

      In the modern world, you could be recorded (without your knowledge) picking up a flute at a flea market as you remember that long ago psychic. At that moment, a criminal snatches the lady's purse who's next to you and, out of instinct, you knock him unconscious with the flute.
      This post gets snipped and shared after the video goes viral. Your story goes viral. A gofundme is st up for you and reaches 100k dollars. You donate it. That makes you more famous.
      Talk show appearances follow as you tell your story over and over, generating further donations to charities. One starts up in your name that gives instruments to children.
      You're known in 36 countries. Keanu Reeves calls you a "cool dude" when interviewed on set for a Cyberpunk short film.
      Two students get instruments from that non profit and start a band cald Wyld Stallyns in homage to Bill and Ted. They eventually save the world.
