Mike unlocks two interviews from the vault featuring comics who navigate the cultural minefield with very different styles. First, Sarah Silverman discusses her evolution from "arrogant ignoramus" character comedy to earnest podcasting, reflecting on her blackface controversy, her embrace of the "Bernie bro" label, and why she believes being wrong never feels shitty if you're willing to learn. Then, Kyle Kinane joins to talk about his special Loose in Chicago, the specific pain of being a Cubs fan (pre-World Series win), and his low-stakes conspiracy theories about Trader Joe's parking lots.

And what I want to do in this show, since I'm playing a lot of funny you should mention, funny you should mention is the proper grammar, attorneys general, and so forth. I want to excavate some comedic episodes from the past before there was even a funny you |
| 0:23.5 | should mention institution. |

| 0:35.0 | I went in loving one and being a little not suspicious of |
| 0:39.4 | the other, but is his comedy, is it really gistworthy and by gum it was? So first up, you will hear |
| 0:45.4 | my interview with Sarah Silverman. That was when the Sarah Silverman, not TV show, but podcast, |
| 0:52.4 | was getting going. |

| 1:12.0 | Two, back to back with a break in between interviews from the vault, Sarah Silverman and Kyle Kinney. |
| 1:18.6 | According to the National Institutes of Health, |
| 1:25.6 | as many as 30 million men in the U.S. experience something called |
| 1:29.0 | E.D. Imagine the number of men in that category who are also named Ed. It must be |
| 1:35.3 | horrifyingly compounding for them. But it's really not great for everyone because confidence |
