The world feels heavy and instead of trying to joke our way around that, this episode is about sitting with it. This week, Penn and I talk about how a post we made about hope turned into a political statement, the process behind the scenes, and how we're feeling. We are very lucky to have a fun job, but it doesn't mean it's not challenging in times like these. Sometimes it's hard to make comedy when you want to cry.We know you came for the humor, we hope you'll stay for the humanity. Penn and I are here for joy, for laughter, and for standing with people who need it. We believe laughter and compassion aren’t opposites. Sometimes humor is how we survive, and sometimes it’s how we tell the truth. We’re all still learning, growing, and trying our best to love our neighbors well. We promise to keep showing up as our full selves... funny, flawed, and deeply human. (And with a cookie cake.) Thanks for being here. We love to hear from you!
