0:00Pod Squad, welcome back to We Can Do Hard Things.
0:03Congratulations because we're bringing back our best of conversation with the one and only Samantha Irby.
0:12Because in this moment, I keep thinking, if we don't laugh, we will only cry or rage or go numb.
0:18And also, you can also laugh while you cry or rage.
0:23And I recommend that.
0:24If we lose our ability to laugh at the absurdity of being alive right now, they've won.
0:30Because maybe laughter isn't an escape from reality.
0:33Maybe laughter is resistance.
0:35Maybe it's survival.
0:36Maybe it's how we refuse to let this moment take our joy, our weirdness, our delight, our ability to point at the chaos and say, this is ridiculous.
0:45Sam understands something wholly.
0:47Humor is not avoidance.
0:49Humor is finding the absurd thing and holding on to it long enough to make the next five minutes bearable.
0:57And in this conversation, she gives us exactly that.
0:59We talk about the lava beneath the jokes, the grief, rage, and heartbreak funny people often carry under the surface.
