With Marcel de Shell, I was re-watching it this morning,

and what stuck out to me is, like, it's so funny,

and then it's, like, unafraid of being sad.

I'm glad you think that, because I guess that's, like,

I don't want to do that kind of, like,

grad school short story about something really upsetting

so that the story can be serious and good.

But, like, there is something about being

sad essentially like not being acceptable, just like sort of baseline sorrow. I agree. That makes

me feel scared. And I went through a lot of years of like why am I always as a friendly person who likes to have

fun and like likes romance and chilling out why am I so sad yeah like so sad yeah and it just felt like if I couldn't try to talk about that or get into it a bit, it really was as if I was like lonely for that part of myself that couldn't be included.

Working it out because it's not done.

Working it out. That is the voice of the great Jenny Slate.

This is one of our favorite episodes.

This was originally aired last year.

And if you are a comedy fan, you know Jenny Slate.

She does stand up comedy.

She is an actress.

She is a writer. Her latest comedy special is called Seasoned Professional.

It's on Amazon Prime.

You may have seen her starring in the film Obvious Child, which I love.

Of course, Marcel the Shell with shoes on, which she co-wrote and stars in.
