Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

I think, okay, the most honest answer is sometimes probably like more than I like to an embarrassing degree.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

I feel bad about myself.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

And I am a creative person in a profession where there's lots of ways that you can, if you're so inclined, you can find to feel bad about yourselves.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

There's always a list you're not on, always a sales number you didn't reach, always a pitch that didn't get accepted.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

And Matt is here acting like you're an alien from another planet or something.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

Yeah, totally.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

A few days ago, Heather asked me if I was proud that she jumped in Lake Michigan when it was cold.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

And he was like, nope, not proud, not interested.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

Wait, Matt, but you don't... Do you feel immune to all of these problems?

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

I maybe like to kind of sit in my self-loathing a little bit more.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

I've been a party to that in the past one time or another.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

Yeah, I've witnessed that.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

I think it's like the seeking out of a sort of affirmation and compliment feels like a means to maybe feeling good.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

And I don't necessarily believe in...

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

The kind of project of the sort of goal of trying to feel good.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

But I mean, I don't think it's like that weird that I want to feel better about myself.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

No.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem

Like, I think the question of like, how might I feel better about myself is pretty normal, like kind of about as normal as it could be.

Radiolab
You and Me and Mr. Self-esteem
