Hey everyone. We got another great reheat for you this week. After rummaging around in the deep freezer,

we've decided to thought out our episode with Maria Bamford, one of my all-time favorite comics,

and this is one of my all-time favorite conversations.

Maria published a memoir a few months ago called Sure I'll Join Your Cult,

which deals with a lot of similar themes around mental illness that she and I talked about on the show.

And remember, you can submit a request for a future reheat. What

classic Sporkful episode do you want me to pull out of the deep freezer and

reheat to serve? Drop me a line let me know at hello at sporkful.com.

Thanks and enjoy my conversation with Maria Bamford.

Please note this episode deals with eating disorders.

I had surgery this past year and I won't go into detail except the fact that they said

it was okay for me to leave the hospital and suddenly the car seat was pooling with

blood.

And I was like, I think I think we might want to go back.

This is comedian Maria Bamford.

We met up for lunch at Four Cafe in the Silver Lake neighborhood of LA.
