Hello, this is Josh Gondleton. No, I'm sorry, I'm Josh Gondleton, and this is Make My Day,

a comedy game show. The world is a stressful place to be, so every week I play a game with one guest

who is guaranteed to win because they're the only contestant. As we play a game that I designed for my

guest, I assign them points based on how much their answers delight me and cheer me up. Then, at the end, the winner receives a $100 contribution or

donation to the charity or aid cause of their choice, and we each give a pep talk to someone

or a group that we think deserves it this week, because this isn't all about me. It's just mostly

about me. My guest this week is a stand-up comedian and a frequent

guest on The Moth. She's the host of the long-running NPR quiz show Ask Me Another. Welcome to

the show Ophira Eisenberg. Hello. Hello. What an effervescent beginning to this. I feel

like I could quit now and I'd be like, day made.

I, you know, because you were very positive and I was thinking, you know, last night I was

on stage and I was thinking about how when I'm on stage, I am like that energy, hello!

And I'm very smiling.

And I feel like everyone thinks I'm super positive.

And is it true? Question mark? We'll find out.

Who's to know? Who's to say?

I feel like that's a fun energy to put out on stage, though.

I think it's like I always feel like it's too silly if I ever get on stage, and I'm like,

you know what sucks fucking Fucking Rocky Road ice cream.

Although I always look at other comics that have the persona where they're coming in on a much more like,

I'm going to tell you the way it is because, and I am jealous, because I am not threatening.

No, me either.
