And the moms are like eyeing each other and like, oh, I hope my daughter's better at being homeless than yours.

And it's like, this is so, what is this world?

It's so weird.

Uh, but I-I am able to now kind of look back and see the-the humor in it, and I think it is a very absurd reality, but I do think there's a lot of inherent, um, ironic humor there.

It re-it really seems... It would be so awful.

Oh, my God.

Oh my God, what a big, good question.

That's such a deep, this is what I spent 10 years in therapy to be able to now say on The Daily Show.

That's so cool.

That's really awesome.

Well, I'm glad you initially, you know, you were speaking of kind of the humor, and I do think it's a great coping mechanism, and I try not to use it as a defense mechanism.

I used it that way for a long time initially when I was first kind of trying to grapple with everything, and I think that led to really unfunny choices, and my sense of humor is just sort of overcompensatory and kind of flailing and obnoxious, to be honest.

But I think finding humor in those really intense moments and those tragedies can bring levity where it's necessary.

I hope I've done that.

With my mom...

I haven't gotten to a place of forgiveness.

And I was trying to get to a place of forgiveness for so long.

In therapy, I would sort of plead almost with my therapist, like, why am I not able to get to this place?

What's wrong with me that I'm not able to forgive my mom for this abuse?

Why am I so terrible that I can't get to that place?
