I remember at times when I've been at my most depressed, sort of asking the universe for something good to happen.
Like, please, I really need this one.
Please let something good happen to me.
And then when it does happen, there's a certain gratitude or maybe a sense of being heard, being recognized as you talk a lot about, you know, that seeing aspect of understanding between people, that mutuality that occurs that makes things even funnier.
Yeah.
You quoted a line from the writer Nora McInerney, who states that grief is so uncomfortable, especially if it's someone else's grief.
And I also thought a lot about that in relation to joy, that sometimes seeing somebody else's grief can not only make you feel uncomfortable because you're worried that it might happen to you, but on the flip side of that, it could also make you feel very grateful that it hasn't happened to you.
Do you have any advice for getting more comfortable around grief, whether it is ours or someone else's?
Yeah, I think that's some of the power in the whole Me Too movement.
Just acknowledging that, hey.
Totally.
I'm in that camp as well.
Oh, my God.
When you finished writing your book, Chris, did your view of humor change at all?
My last question.
If you had to distill the deepest thing writing your book taught you, not only about comedy or humor, but about being human, what would it be?
for Stuffy.
Thank you so much for making so much work that matters.
And thank you so much for joining me today on Design Up.
Thank you.
