I've never seen such a aggressively wholesome man before.
yeah I know! what an amazing dude
he is so in your face with his niceness :D
I almost teared up when he gave him the talk
Joe is awesome! He really enjoyed helping him to become a better man 🤘
Omg that's an amazing description of him!! xD
Buzzfeed employees: constantly leaving the company due to alleged poor treatment
Vice employees: *consent to getting mauled by dogs*
HAAAAA
Xxc, q
I'd much rather get mauled by dogs in that suit than work 70 hours a week or or have some abusive manager! Good joke though
Buzzfeed for those who aren’t teenage girls
Two things can be true at the same time
And when the world needed him most...he returned
Fucken legend
The man the myth
fucking legend
MVP of Vice.
Who?
Taji: Thank you
Joe: No, thank you
Taji: Thank you
Joe: No, thank you
Taji: Thank you
Joe: No, thank you
Taji: Thank you
Joe: No, thank you
Taji: Thank you
Joe: No, thank you
Taji: Thank you
Joe: No, thank you
What the hell was that at the end
This has strong Tim and Eric vibes
a little cringe lol
That’s the Midwest goodbye.
Thank you, Abraham C. No no thank you, Abraham C. Thank you. Yes, thank you.
Wasn't expecting this to be so wholesome
Right!!lmaooo I even felt inspired by his advice
Word
The most awkward goodbye in the history of goodbyes. 😄
But Ad thank you! 🙏🏾 😂👌🏾
I thought they'd 😘😘
It was cute
@@Return_to_Roots I thought it was sweet & Innocent. lol
Staged
Joe is the type of guy that has enough passion to excel at just about anything he does.
Yeah such a wholesome guy
The ending had me 💀💀, they said thank you and waved goodbye like a 100 times. Great episode, really happy that Taji faced his fear
Oh, perhaps you've never been to Wisconsin before. That's the usual amount 😃
😂😂 So funny!!
No way they didn’t do it on purpose hahaha
Joe is like a proud father and Taji is his son.
The fear of a trained attack dog is a rational fear not a phobia.
The motherfucka would rip most people apart. Hell yeah it makes sense to be afraid
Sort of? I'd actually recommend a greater fear of of UNtrained attacking dogs than trained ones. A trained dog CAN snap - it happens! - but it's a very, very, very rare occurrence. Under normal circumstances the behavior of a police or military dogs is under control - and it is not actually trying to seriously hurt the person it attacks.
@@rather-reverend they're trained to injure and kill lmao wtf are you talking about
Being attacked by dogs while blindfolded*
Well the video is called facing my fear not facing my phobia
It's a shame they didn't get a chance to formally bid each other farewell. Maybe next time.
Maybe that's the fear they both share. The fear of saying goodbye
😂😂😂😂
Your llama picture for some reason makes your comments funnier lol
@@TigOlBitties0000 Good. I like your baps as well.
@@HOWARD963_ LMAO
Never stop with Taji, Vice
Never stop being Taji, Taji
Wow Joe seems like a really good guy.
Most cops are
@@chocolatewheelchair good joke there ....we all need a laugh to unwind sometimes
Kevin Lewis You’re the joker 🃏
@@chocolatewheelchair when you say "most" you win the comedian of the comment section award
Kevin Lewis who hurt you?
Joe missed his call of being a boxing coach.
It’s never too late
He’s a coach just not for humans lol bet these dogs go on to do great work !
No he didn't, doing just great with dogs.
He's got the motivation part down pat.
So to help people over come their fears, beside gently and gradually introducing them to the phobia we shove them into abyss of endless oblivion 😭😭😭
Yes
100%
@@thisfooreallysaid This is NOT the best way. I think it varies from person to person. Some people can get panic attacks in this situation. That wont help. It might cause a trauma and make the phobia even worse than before.
The flooding technique
Joes attitude definitely shows how much a persons happiness comes from a true career when they found the right one.
So when is their second date? Taji and Joe are such a cute couple.
I'd love to go on a date with you, Pedro
Bruh
What the f is goin on here 🌚
This went awkward fast 😯
Vote for Pedro
this guy hollering the whole time is slightly relaxing..
I like how I feel as though the k9 trainer grew from this experience just as much as the reporter did 🙌
Jokes on you Taji. I’m reviewing you now. 5/5 stars. Great job.
The drawn out goodbye..... I LOST IT
Lol imagine Joe as your elementary soccer coach. You'd be ready for the world at 5
Joe seems like a nice guy
He is like a really cool father figure. He is so proud of Taji. Beautiful!
"He ripped it off"
Taji: *visibly worried*
joe yelling at taji how proud he is over and over again made my heart warm
Mine too ❤
I got more fear in Joe and his motivational speeches and me not living up to his expectations than those dogs biting me without the protective suit.
🤯🤯🤯
I liked that there wasn't an awkward review coming at the end. Just bonding. Reacting. Like a dog.
This 👆🏻
almost shed a tear of joy at the end
Lol, "you dance with the b---- you brought to the dance".
That would make a great tattoo.
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣for real
tajis handwriting reflects his personality
This inspired me. It took me 10 years to get over a dog attack.
Hope u are doing better now x
Say thank you to Joe
I'm glad you got over it, dogs are beautiful animals and it must have sucked to have an experience like that attached to them
"You control the search, but you can never control the wind. Bring me a loaded gun." These are powerful words that we should all aspire to live by
HAAAAA LOLOLOLOL.
Best guy in vice sucks without this man.
Lol... yeah, he’s very awkward sometimes, but I still like his videos. Keep Em Comin Taji ;)
This is the most strangely wholesome thing I've watched in a while, thank you.
lololol...AGREED.
if this guy wasn't a dog trainer he'd make a great boxing coach lol, "keep moving your body" "that was one, ready for two?"
hahaha
Why was this so pure and wholesome? Joe seemed cool.
Not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve
My fear is being in a goodbye as long and awkward as the one between Taji and Joe
The end was hilarious where he said bye like 20 times
That farewell is like when me and my mom when i was trying to leave for college haha
😂
The longest, most heartfelt goodbye in TH-cam history haha
The background music in this video gives me an 80's vibe and I like it.
Taji always has the best background music.
Taji actually is the most comfortable I've ever seen him after this
This guy is the king of the dorks. That is why I love him. I always watch his episodes.
The google image quotes had me off guard 😂 cuz it be really like that sometimes but we never actually reconsider our behaviours until we reach a breaking point.
well this video is facing one of my biggest fear, the big long goodbyes
I really expected Joe to be a jerk but was pleasantly surprised to see how aggressively kind he was!
Taji is a gem
Man that guy was so hype. I think I need him screaming over my shoulder everyday!
I am still scared of dogs after watching this.
It's ok to be scared of dogs. I mean there are people who are genuinely scared of cats 😂
frenchfri5106 ive never understood why so many are afraid of cats 😂 I have 2
I've been bit and severely attacked by a dog when I was a kid and had my whole face scratched by a cat that same year, also a hamster bit my finger and hit an artery when I was like 8
But I'm not scared of either of these animals
I too was afraid. Now i just pickup a stone.
Mad respect for Taji. He has really gone above and beyond for Vice. 😅
That ending.....this is how you treat family. This was so sweet and I had no idea going into this that I'd finish with this big ass smile on my face. Absolutely love it.
Taji looked like he actually had fun doing this one. You're a legend bro. Keep up the great work.
The intro with the dog and the reporter though 😂😂😂
Im sorry but what the hell is that handwriting
peak autistic handwriting lmao
@Ann Carr So autistic people can't be smart?
"We found a guy in New Jersey who could help". Seems legit
This is the Vice I've been missing
I like the dogs that try to break through the armor, those are the keepers.
Joe & Taji honestly seem like such genuine nice guys
Watching Taji now for so long and seeing the commenters slowly tiding over to his favor is the most beautiful meta-narrative.
I love you Taji, you do great stuff!
thats fkn awesome lol this inspired me to also do self improvement and face my fears im starating rn rn
I love how he turned his audience around. I remember the comments section was brutal in the first couple vids with Taji but now we're all rooting for him.
Love this mans energy like the dad who would push you to your limits but also know when to stop
This guy is melting my heart with how genuine and sweet he is (the trainer dude ) Taji is awesome as always 😍
Today I discovered Taji Ameen for the first time. Its like a breath of fresh air. Keep doing you, Taji!
Joe won me over with that legendary goodbye! They have fun there :)
This is without a doubt one of the most touching and best episodes ever.
I’ve only been able to watch a few minutes of this guy’s videos usually but I respect him for this one. I think a lot of people fear being bitten by an animal.
Later that day Taji, ready to face the world with his new fearless approach to dogs and motivational words, was mauled to death by 2 pit bulls as he told them about how he couldn’t control the wind while trying to hug them. Rip.
Yo we are watching this man build himself in to a LEGEND!
I know out of all the videos I've watched of him, I've sorta been jealous he's getting to do alot of these somewhat nonsense things, but in the end he ends up way more informed and becomes a better person for having that experience in life.. it's pretty awesome to watch him grow some..lol now I wanna grow some damnit.. been stuck in this slump for months since I broke my leg.. it sucks but hey it's lifestyle of a rider ..
Thank you Vice & Taji! Love your videos!!!
Best way to destroy a fear, is face it head on
Saw Taji and his "roommate" on Tinder - glad to see he's out of his friends dads trailer and living his best life.
That joe guys amazing, glad to see vice is finally coming back
i seen alot of people that say stuff knowing they are lying, but this old man here, i believed every word that came out of his mouth is exactly what he feels, done, and thinks. what a great man!
Best show vice has done yet. 1 star review was good, but this was a masterpiece
I love this guy! He never fails to make me laugh and bring me smiles! The way he was driving off with an ice pack 🤣 no complaints..
This video is awesome I can tell Taji got a lot from this day and it was definitely one of his greatest experiences ever..
“Where you wearing the protective?...” “yeah it ripped through it...” 😂🤣
Love the low key serial killer hand writing 😂
Anyone get strong Nathan For You vibes from that ending? I was cracking up.
THIS IS THE BEST NEW SERIES TO COME OUT OF VICE!
Honestly this my go to song for any situation. Nothing but good feelings when I listen to this
The master of awkward seemed a bit sad and distracted in this episode. Still great fun. I think all his shows should be low-key edited by Vic Berger.
Wow even his handwriting is awkward 😂
Keep up the good work
- secret supporter
Anyone would be lucky to enjoy their work as much as that man does!!
That's awesome
I love Taji
this was touching!
when he gave him the water and made sure he's ok
All the respect
That's how I get over my fears! I used to be afraid of the dark, so I went to walks in midnight on fullmoon without lamps (in countryside so it was dark lol). Used to be afraid of bugs. I got pet cockroaches and a tarantula :)
The editing and sound design in these videos are impeccable
Best video in a while!!! Loved it! Way to go
Next: Facing My Fear of Tigers With Tiger Attack Training
This was good for the soul 🤣
One of your best videos Taji, if not the best. Congrats 👏
Where I come from there is a saying ... "He who says goodbye many times/a lot, has little desire to leave" .... ("El que mucho se despide pocas ganas tiene de irse"). I think this is one of my favorite videos of Vice. Joe seems amazing.
That’s an interesting saying. It makes sense. Thank you for sharing.
Otherwise entitled: How to develop a fear of dogs.
What do you call a fear of attack dogs?
Common sense.
It's good to be cautious and to respect animals but to walk around with fear all day long is not healthy !
Look, how nice and genuine this trainer is? sublime
THE BEST EPISODE YET!!!!!!! Thank you soo much for Being the MAN you are Taji!!! your vids are knowledgeable and INSPIRING! HELL YEAH! YOU ROCK YO!
