Marc Maron: 我坐在堆满垃圾的演播室里，这些垃圾是我一生的缩影。我最近一直在努力筹备我的特别节目，现在我正在努力解决营销和广告等问题。我一直在尝试一种药物，我不确定它是否有效，但我能感觉到它正在起作用。我的焦虑存在于真实的自我和让我发疯的事情之间。我认为药物让我在真实的自我和让我感到糟糕的那部分大脑之间有了一些空间。我大脑的一部分总是想让我对自己感到糟糕。我意识到我的大脑以某种方式构建，总是产生垃圾。我有一个充满精神垃圾的神经通路，我不知道如何清理它。我去看心理医生，他认为我比以前好30%。我想和你探讨一下感恩和自我肯定之间的界限。我对我的特别节目并不感到焦虑，但我意识到我的大脑仍然会制造困难和恐惧。我很高兴你不再害怕你努力了两年的事情，但让我们做其他的事情。药物让我在真实的自我和精神垃圾制造厂之间有了一些空间。我需要找出我喜欢做什么。问题在于，这就是它吗？我很好，我为自己感到骄傲，我觉得自己做得很好，我喜欢生活。

Shownotes Transcript

Carol Leifer has been a standup comic for almost 50 years, but the knowledge she can impart from her lifetime of experience isn’t limited to the standup stage. That’s why Carol co-wrote the new book How to Write a Funny Speech, applying the building blocks of comedy to weddings, graduations and anywhere else one might speak in public. Carol and Marc talk about how to be funny at a memorial, her experience writing for the recent Oscars, and how she’s tapped into the current zeitgeist thanks to her teenage son.
