Summary

🎴🎴🎴 THIS IS PART 2 of Paul and Stephen’s wild time with Amy Sedaris -- which finds them debating the definition of a few choice sexual terms, discussing their love and appreciation of the grotesque, and hearing about the southern charm she’s cultivated in her home of New York City. Her thoughts on Marie Kondo’s book, which she ALSO got rid of during her great purge to raise money for Diabetes research. Explore the reasons behind Paul’s manic collection of books and why he wants a human skull. Also learn what she thinks of astrology, psychics and talking to dead people, and how she fact-checks brother David Sedaris’s stories. BONUS: Amy’s two favorite movies (both animal-themed!), and oh yeah, that time she took speed and learned to read tarot cards. BONUS #2: Paul’s sports-phobic except for one sport - can you guess which? Hint - it’s really violent! Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. Amy Sedaris is a comedian, writer, talented crafter and actress.
