Hannah - the joke works! Just as you delivered it. No need to narrate or explain it. The mix of reactions from the audience is likely because it is funny and then immediately challenging/thought-provoking.

Chris is your favourite comedians favourite comedian

Amazing episode!!

I just love you guys. That's all. Would listen to a million hours of this.

Love this!

I love letters from love. Good question, Mike, who did it beat and how could they have improved? But they’re the wrong questions. They’re totally understandable questions from a comic, but they’re ego driven. And the letters are ego-less A better way to put it, is that it’s binary. The good ones are the ones where the person fell away and love came through unveiled And to describe the other side of that spectrum, when they’re bad (and it’s not like one is bad and one is good) it’s because you wrote too long. Liz says put a 5 minute limit so the ego doesn’t come in (when you write too long) DISCLAIMER: I should qualify my statement above by saying when I wrote “ego” I really meant “personality”. I meant it neutrally

Great podcast! This has to be one of the if not best ever interview of Bridget Everett. You are both great and I will be watching you whenever I can. Thank you❣️

What a great mashup!

I think Liz crocheted that sweater herself, and I love it. Great chat. :)

Wept with listening the letter from LOVE. I am motivated to do the same. ❤

brilliant ep. liz gilbert is a real one

Loved this podcast. I am a huge fan of Liz Gilbert. Whenever I need a hit of inspiration I listen to Big Magic. BTW, IMHO, the CNN ticker tape line is a sweet tag. Working it out!

Yes! Alone is best!! Especially if you are female, the expectations on us are too much 😊❤

Podcast first, movie second, now take As for me to give too All.❤

Love you Liz, you changed my mind in so many ways. You're were there in my first divorce and now you still there on my way finding my true self. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤

Has she been ill? Why is her head shaved? Always have been a big fan but haven't heard this news, if there was any.

So good to hear this today! I look forward to Mike’s letter from love and writing my own because it’s an excellent idea! Very nourishing episode. Thank you!

God damn I love her soo much.

I had an audible gasp when I saw this in my queue ❤🎉

So cool ! I love your podcast and I love her, read all her books. Love her novels, loved the books she wrote before Eat Pray Love, her creativity essay was so delightful to read… Excited about this collaboration. I’m a self-love coach, I have spiritual experiences on a daily basis and tons of practices in my toolbox and yet I was blown away by her Letters from love daily practice, and so moved by her art when she read it. The presence of a higher energy was palpable. I love artists, I love beauty.

I found a copy of “Eat, Pray, Love” in Jamaica and read it in a day or two. I never understood the hate for it. I thought it was great. I re-read huge chunks of it recently. This is the first time I’ve ever heard Liz speak. Very interesting. Good talk, Mike.

Two of my faves who are both also two of my fave creative/writing advice-givers. What a gem this podcast is.

It's so refreshing when an author, especially one who wasn't prepared for the internet, weathers the toxicity that comes with modern high-end notoriety with such even temper. She has a rare constitution. The goal is for a book like Eat Prey Love to reach 100% of its target audience. But this kind of stratospheric popularity shoves the material into literally everyone's face, no matter how inappropriate the match. So People automatically infer that, if it's in their face, it must be for them. And since it isn't, they assume it's just a bad book, and everyone who likes it is stupid. The greatest book about bird watching in history will be boring to someone who has no interest in birds. And if the whole world is shouting about how great this birdwatching book is, and everyone should read it, a lot of non-birders are going to wonder what the hell people are so excited about. That's apart from the tendency of certain people who automatically assume that if anything isn't made specifically for them and their tastes, it has no worth at all. But really, it's their opinion that's worthless.

I love this pod so much ❤❤❤

Beautiful episode. That's a good leap.

OMG I am thrilled for this collaboration! I have no time to listen right now and I cannot wait for a spare moment later today! 💛

❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you Mam!

Ok so now I’m hooked on you Berbiglia. This was such an open conversation. Creativity and love are intertwined and humor is a way to get at both! Thank you! ❤❤❤

Gem gem gem from beginning to end

Wow Mike this is a tipping point for you and your podcast. Congrats!

Wow, what a surprise, thanks guys 🎉

I think this is the only time iv heard the Sara Silverman glass window story

Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Robert E. Lee's birthday are celebrated on the same day in Alabama and Mississippi

God I love listening to Hannah speak. I've really been putting off this podcast for so long as the both of you are maybe the two comedians I most respect. You're not just funny you both have an incredible ability to take difficult topics and the pain you've suffered and tell it in a way that instead of bitter is awe-filled, joyful, and terribly human. There's an appreciation for life in the way you both tackle your hardships. And it's what we walk away with as well. I am so very entertained and in awe your abilities as an artist 🎶 and a fan. 🎉🎉🎉

Catholicism is how our grandmothers avoided diagnosis lol

Love her ❤

They are great. I love all their specials

MIB is great. This was unexpected, but very much appreciated.

i am a 40 year old straight woman but Tig is my fireman love from Rotterdamn

thank you both for sharing this wonderful conversation.

two more of my favorites!!!!

here's two of my all time favorites!!!!

What are all the colored index cards on the bulletin boards about?

Too funny. Matteo is looking all "Daddyish" these days with the grayish hair and the jacked arms. He better be keeping his husband satisfied !!

LOVE BRIDGET! Somebody Somewhere is my favorite show & I’m already dreading the end of the season. I just love it so much and I think of Joel with Dog in the tornado at least once a week. Joel running through the field yelling Dog - I don’t know how to describe it - I just fell in love with him.

I’m ashamed to say I forgot about Michael Showalter.

These are great Americans. I'm happy to share Earth with them.

I saw her years ago at a festival in Toronto where she was playing multiple nights. I had such an electric experience I had to go back the next night and I brought two friends!

Is it just me, or does Mike look more and more like a young Tom Hanks?!

Todd plays the boss everybody hates on the wrestler. 🤣🤣😑
