Summary

Sarah Silverman is working on her Broadway show and shares that in doing so, she's examined her relationship with her mother. She now realizes that many of her memories may be distorted.

Sarah takes a call from a fan who is bipolar and wants advice on dating with a mental illness. Then, she gives an amazing tribute to the band, Frightened Rabbit, and one of their leads, Scott Hutchinson, who tragically committed suicide. Sarah also responds two calls about female comics.

And… do you know, which is the correct expression: "to have a beat" or "to have a bead on" something. Sarah finds out, once and for all! And even sings a song about it!

0:00.0	Hi everyone, it's your best friend, Sarah. You know, we did a final workshop, our fourth
0:20.0	workshop of the musical The Bedwetter before we start rehearsals in March. Just to see
0:27.2	it on its feet, you know, with actors and everything and figure out what we need to cut and
0:34.1	songs we need to change, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it was really good. It was, and it's,
0:41.4	it's just so interesting because the characters in it are, I'm not in it, you know, it's about
0:47.7	the year I'm 10, so it's a little me and a little Laura and my mom, you know, at like 40 and my dad,
0:57.0	and my Nana. And it's weird because I'm doing research on my mom, my own mom, to like
1:08.1	fill out this character, make her three-dimensional and you love her and in real. And to do that,
1:17.3	I have to depend on a lot my memory. And my sisters help with their, you know, that what they
1:25.6	remember, and it's just so interesting how siblings have just completely different childhood
1:33.9	experiences and that our memories, all of us, are distorted, you know, because they're,
1:43.2	they're a child's perception of what happened. And then kind of interpreted through our now adult
1:50.9	eyes. And it's some things we see things more clearly, you know, as adults, when we look back,
1:59.7	like for instance, when I grew up and I was little, my friends' parents would always assume I was
2:07.3	from New York or ask if I was from New York and I'd say, what's New York? I'm from here, you know,
2:13.7	New Hampshire. And as an adult looking back, I know that that's because in New Hampshire, you know,
2:21.5	young parents just thought like, oh, Jews are from New York. And they're not wrong entirely. Most
2:28.2	Jews in the world, I think, live in New York. So it's not like anti-Semitic, but it's a little bit,
2:35.6	you know, maybe ignorant. But it's just funny looking back on it and realizing, oh, of course,
2:42.4	that's why they thought I was from, we're from New York, even though, you know, my families from
2:47.1	New England all the way, mom and dad. And sometimes our memories are just completely warped, totally,
2:55.6	total cognitive distortion, you know, just by the time that's gone, the emotion connected to it,
