How Was Your Week: Episode 72
“Side of Fries”: Tig Notaro, Steve Kandell
Oh, hi! How are you doing? Okay!
This week’s episode of How Was Your Week features two fascinating and intelligent guests, plus a long ramble from Julie at the top of the show about the tautological and downright Jeff Foxworthian lyrics of the opening number from CATS: The Musical. Where are you going? There’s more!
First, Steve Kandell, the Editor-in-Chief of SPIN Magazine is here to tell a great story about the time Bono blessed his unborn child. Then, Tig Notaro joins Julie to talk about her recent terrifying hospital visit, Butterflies and whether they bite, and the extreme highs and lows she’s experienced in the last few months alone.
Also—Jason Alexander’s impassioned pleas, a warning to take pro-biotics all the damn time. what C-Diff is, the last line of “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” why bacon needs to pack it in, what pretension really means, dogs wearing bandannas, and a sad story about Tig’s loss and resilience.
And finally, in a bid to stay economically viable and (as of now) ad and network-free, we’re asking for PayPal donations to klausnerama (at) gmail (dot) com, if you are so inclined. It’s called “Tip Spoony,” and all the cash will go to me and Chris Spooner, so we can continue to give you Class-A entertainment week to week. Plea over! Anyway.
This is an important and thought/feeling-provoking show! I hope you love it.
