"Watch your partner shower the baby with goodbye kisses, repeating over and over “I am going to miss you so much!” then turn to you, quickly say “k bye,” and walk out the door."

I don't have children yet but I think you just fortold my future.

alex!

it's great!

some specific greats include:

-- You rent.

-- Even though you clean it like really well actually, it reeks.

-- Worse...It’s you.

-- that half-bird, half-human beast: The Algorithm.

-- your homes away from home: Zillow.

-- turning every phrase into an acronym just like your dad. (JLYD!)

-- the babysitter is a better parent than you will ever be.

-- the great puppetmaster Capitalism controls your every move

-- a show about Australian dogs that is somehow also about everything?

-- Happy was always just right here, under your nose, you normal little ghoul you.

love it all! love you! thank you! i halloween you!

What's new? I love this. Nothing new.

But I just want to say how refreshing it is to read/listen to a comedian with a heart, or more accurately, willing to show his heart. It's unique and wonderful. 💟

This was so much fun, I'm going to go say "spooky" in a bad impersonation of how you did it.

Spooky! (Yet strangely appealing... where does one go about acquiring such a wild beast? Asking for a friend)

"The fundamental belief of your life - that you must be special so that you can be happy, is false. Happy was always just right here, under your nose, you normal little ghoul you." Truth. When I fall into this space, I'm deeply content. It's easy to go in and out, in and out. Luckily, it becomes easier to find it again and again.

Aging feels like a haunted house! Love the greeting cards. So classy.

My favorite part: Cruise through the demented properties as a familiar voice that sounds like your mother but with a faint echo moans “you coulda been a lawyer, look how good you are arguing with us about it - that’s what lawyers do, they argue - “

More perfection from my good friend, Sasha. YES! Definitely McSweeney’s worthy. If they rejected this, they’re insane.
