Miranda July - “All Fours” | The Daily Show

[@michaelbayer5094]

I really appreciate Desi. She's funny, intelligent, and tonight reveals another layer of depth. And I hope this does not sound silly, as I'm a 58 yr old male, but I liked that two women were having a conversation about things I'll never experience or know. But I can listen and learn.

[@mr.ch4rli3_]

There's nothing silly about being open to listening about others experiences. It's mature. Which is a rarity among men these days

[@MrBrock314]

@@mr.ch4rli3_ It's probably less rare now than it was back in the day so this is a bit misleading.

[@weave_of_k]

Big fan of Miranda since her Portland days in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Desi is the perfect interviewer for her.

[@ExosLife]

Miranda July is one of my favourite creators alive today; whenever I find myself wandering into her world, I am constantly shocked and amazed at how after these experiences, I am utterly and forever changed.

[@petrafranklin]

Desi is a riveting interviewer! Take us there Desi! You are knocking it out of the park! Thank you. I love how well you take us to what actually matters to us. Your ability to draw out your subjects is gorgeous! Well done!

[@gomeze8230]

I always love Miranda's work and her interviews. I feel her way of expressing herself and the unique ideas she expresses are very relatable for an introvert experience

[@THMILLER]

Sounds like a nice book. It is weird why some things are not talked about in the USA, my daughter had the luck of being able to grow up and learn here in Germany (German/American) where that is taught in middle-school and i had a conversation with her where we talked about what is NOT taught in the USA. She was shocked. I also told her about the fact that she knows more about US history than more than 60% of US born US citizens.

[@El_LocaLoca]

Just came back to watching daily show recently and finding Desi here was a pleasant surprise. Just like a long time ago people will always have a preference but I think she's an incredible fit for the show. Josh Johnson too, I enjoy his stand up alot and had no idea he was here. 😂

[@aleximishkin6351]

There should be rites of passage to share and celebrate this time ❤

I know how important this book is for women, but as a 36 yr old man, I have to say - THIS BOOK IS FOR EVERYONE!!!! It's for every being experiencing the human condition. If you've ever in your life had inside thoughts that you're afraid to say out loud- this book is for you. ❤

[@cadebritt8001]

Wasn't going to bother, but it is a serious subject and rare honesty.

[@murdiesel]

Miranda is gorgeous and carry's herself from this as quite an extraordinary lady! Love her energy!

[@hdnft4633]

[@WalkingmanPattaya]

So interesting to hear this discussion, with the Comedienne Desi doing her intro jokes. Am a guy so different path , yet same questions, anxiety, , need for exploration, intimacy, etc.... on my journey as well. Still happening 20 years later. Haha Thank you Miranda, Desi, and Daily Show cast crew, Peace, Love, Loving Y'all

[@isaackitone]

Miranda is intense. She looks like she can see inside your soul.

[@jlynnallen]

Thanks for this, have been looking for an unexpected birthday gift for my wife & this book looks the goods after watching this convo. Once again Desi proves there's more to her than comedy & looks, great interview 👍

I watched this and immediately listened to the audible sample. I will be reading it as soon as next month’s credit drops unless I break down and pay for it early. The author reads it and her narration seems perfect

[@michaelavolio]

I just finished the audiobook last night, and it was amazing - the writing and the performance. July being a great actor and performer helps, of course. Hearing her read it makes it even more intimate and powerful. So yeah, definitely get the audiobook!

[@ataxius86]

Lovely and funny interview

[@walkingstick6655]

Women, men, everyone, are eventually led by age to the point of the fear-driven feelings of irrelevance, of feelings of mortality, feelings of falling short on accomplishments. Of course, there are no love songs or poetry written about this stage of life, because those songs and poems associated with young hormonal changes are socially and biologically intended to support feelings at that time in order to perpetuate the acts required to continue the human species. That noted, there really should be more explored and expressed about the further end of the arc of life, what men and women endure as they age into the sunset.

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

*To The Author…* What if a person is the correct age but not married and or doesn’t have kids? I know many women that fit one or both things. Has anyone read this to know that? Maybe the author might see my comment and let us know? Thanks!

[@JillKnapp]

It's not her job to write a book for us. She saw that books were missing for *her* experience and the shared experiences of her friends, so that's the book she wrote. Maybe you or one of your friends can write that book for your experience-- there's definitely a market! Or... maybe you can read her book and take away insight about people who have many similarities to you without the book being specifically about your experience. After all, isn't that one reason we read books? To learn to understand others' experiences, even if they are fictional?

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

I think the author knows who might most benefit from her writings. If I wrote a book and someone asked if their particular situation would benefit from reading my book I’d have absolutely no problem being honest about it. Authors love getting questions and don’t really need defenders. No offense. Some of us are better readers than others and or might not even be able to afford a book over a meal. Finding out about a product and how it can help you or those you love isn’t a crazy thing to do.

[@jrcastillo2824]

It's a fiction story, not a self help book. 😊 Peace be with you

[@crisfer22]

From what I've seen, many women have enjoyed it regardless of their family situation. I'd say a factor that will play a bigger role is if you have read or seen her work before and felt her style and sensibilities spoke to you. She has a very specific voice.

[@TurtleTimeVoiceOvers]

@@crisfer22 Thank you! I REALLY appreciate that!!

[@ErichGundisalv]

The question remains, will men in the 20s want to marry women, KNOWING, they will have a 180 degree change and risk the kingdom they build with someone, their children, and THEIR happiness? Or will men walk away? I think that is why this "change" goes "upspoken".

[@femchud9255]

They are using menopause as an excuse to be selfish and hedonistic. Many will later regret the destruction of their marriage

[@leapintothewild]

Why is this like walking up to two people in the middle of a conversation and not ever being able to figure out what they're talking about... ? What the heck?

Imagine such an interview, but instead with a male author and interviewer in a mid-life crisis looking for guidance: Question: I like how you dealt with "How often should I wash my car in the driveway now that the kids have moved away?" Author: Yeah, I wrote this book after reminiscing about how much better sports bars used to be before they banned smoking.

[@ChrisSmith-lo2kp]

women deeply resent it when men even contemplate actually discussing their own feelings like this openly
