Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Radical Cander podcast. I'm Jason Roseoff, CEO and co-founder of Radical Cander.

And I'm Amy Sandler, your host for the Radical Cander podcast. We're missing someone today. Jason, who could it be?

Kim is swimming with the fishes. I mean the dolphins. The dolphins. By the way, I once swam with the dolphin. I swam with Kekkemalu, who was a walfin, which was a mix of a killer whale and a dolphin. And we do like to laugh on this podcast when we think something is funny. And something is often very

funny on this podcast. But often, laughter doesn't have anything to do with hilarity. In fact,

in the absence of an underlying medical condition, laughing can be a stress response, a way for

people to regulate their emotions and avoid being overcome with anxiety.

We have a question today from a listener about this topic, and this person writes, quote,

how do I coach people with nervous laughter habits?

I evangelize radical candor at work heavily, but I struggle with this one.

How do I tell people,

you laugh too much and too loud and it's annoying and it's holding you back in your career?

That was the question this person wants to.

To ask, yeah. And they continue, I'm guessing the answer will be something similar to that, but as much as I preach, I'm stuck.

I've read that people with nervous laughter can get worse, the more they think about it.

How do you tell someone to stop laughing? Help, exclamation point.

There was an exclamation point. And Jason, you're laughing. And I'm wondering,

what kind of laughing are you laughing? Like, can we self-diagnose? I think it is, I'm laughing at the,

how funny it is to think about telling someone to stop laughing. And also, I think I just appreciated

the sincerity of the help at the end of that note. Yeah. And I'm laughing. And also, I think I just appreciated the sincerity of the help at the end of that

note. Yeah. And I'm laughing because I have been in positions like that before. And it's just

sort of funny to think how the human condition can drive us to these moments where we're like,

in the abstract, like, why on earth would I tell someone to stop laughing?
