Hello, this is Josh Gondelman.

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

The world is a stressful place to be, so every week I try to make it a little more pleasant, a little more fun.

I play a game with one guest who is guaranteed to win that game because they are the only contestant.

As we go through the game, I assign them points based on how much their answers delight me and cheer me up.

Then, at the end, the winner and only contestant wins a $100 donation to the charity or aid cause of their choice,

and we each give a pep talk to cheer up someone or a group out in the world that we think might need it this week,

because this isn't all about me. It's just mostly about me. Today's guest will be appearing

in a play called Fairy Cags off Broadway, opening in October, which is so exciting, but this is great.

I'm so happy he's here. Welcome to the show Mo Rocca. Josh, thank you for having me.

I'm always up for a pick-me-up and making myself and other people feel good. This is exciting.

Thank you. Oh, I'm so glad. This is like exactly the right attitude to come into this.

How have you been feeling recently? It waxes and it wanes. Sometimes I'm the stress level.

So sometimes I'm stressed out.

But I'm feeling really good right now, not just because I'm with you, but because I finished a writing assignment earlier today.

And then I could treat myself to a really nice walk outside, a walk where I was really enjoying myself rather than thinking about all the things I had to do.

Yep.

Oh, that's such a good feeling when the walk is for the walk and you're not like,

if I walk for five fewer minutes, I can be done with work five minutes sooner.

That's so well put.

It's like walking versus pacing, right?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, right.
