Hi, this is Josh. Before you listen to my podcast, I wanted to recommend another podcast

that I think you'd really like. It's called A Good Cry and it's hosted by comedian Michael

Cruz Kane, his awesome. He chats with friends, comedians, other notable people about their grief,

not just the hard parts of grieving, but also the memories that have made them laugh, the

dumb stuff people said to them, the ways they've recovered from these feelings, or the ways that they didn't.

Every episode is a funny, joyful, and yeah, occasionally sad reflection on grief.

The first episode features guest Stephen Colbert, who you've probably heard of, and who

speaks really beautifully about this topic.

So check out new episodes of a good cry every Thursday, starting whenever you like. You can start now. But

listen to make my day first and then start. Or don't. I recommend it either way.

Hello, this is Josh Gondelman.

No, I'm sorry, I'm Josh Gondelman, and this is Make My Day, a comedy game show.

The world is a stressful place to be, so every week we try to make it a little nicer, a little more friendly.

I play a game with one guest or team of guests who's guaranteed to win because they're the only contestant.

As we play, I assign my guest points based on how much their answers to my questions, delight me specifically.

Then at the end, the winner receives a $100 donation to the charity or aid cause of their choice,

and we each give a pep talk to someone or a group out there in the world that we think needs it right now. I hit my lamp gesticulating and maybe that showed up in the audio and maybe it didn't.

I just want the listener to know that's how excited I am for the show.

I'm lamp smack and excited.

Today's guest is one of my very favorite stand-up comedians.

He's appeared on the late show with Stephen Colbert.

He performs his solo show. My dad isn't Danny DeVito at venues all over New York City and October 27th through 30th at Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis.
