This is truly some like Greek mythology shit. This is like biblical the way that you just she's flying too close to the sun.

She is tempting fate. We know it's gonna end in disaster.

Hi and welcome to Normal Gossip. I'm Kelsey McKinney. In each episode of this podcast we're gonna bring you an anonymous morsel of gossip from the real world.

This week I have with me Matt Bellasai. He's an American comedian and writer. He hosts the unhappy hour podcast and he hosts weekly web wound up on AMP about internet news of the week.

He formerly starred in BuzzFeed's web series Wine About It and he's the author of everything is awful and other observations. Not welcome.

Oh my god. Thank you so much. When I tell you this has been a shining beacon on my calendar that I've been looking forward to. You have no idea.

Oh my god. Thank you. That's such a compliment. How are you doing? How's your day going?

It's great. I mean it's it's getting much better. I just got a puppy last week. I'm saying this in every meeting that I have in any interview I do.

I have to mention the puppy legally. It's the first two weeks. That's important.

Great. I just yeah. I mean that mode where I'm like any move that she makes is potentially fatal. And that is on me.

Because now it's not a fish. You know, if she dies, it's like not a fish. Yeah.

Did go into our classic questioning. What is your relationship with gossip like?

What if I was like, I hate I don't believe in gossip. I've been waiting honestly for somebody to come on here and be like,

I think it's a moral and a sin. Yeah. Actually, Jesus said that we shall not talk shit. And so obviously I think of the

thing of that Jenna Moroni quote all the time that's like drama is gay man gatorade at replenishing.

I thrive on gossip. I quit my office job in 2016. So it's been six years that I haven't had an office job.

And the biggest thing that I miss about working at an office is office gossip. I'm like, I there's a hole in my heart that is not being

What is it about office gossip that it makes it so like seductive to you?
