E235. Comedy Is Kat Timpf's Religion

Kat Timpf, co-host of Gutfeld! and author of You Can't Joke About That , sits down with Bridget to discuss writing a book about some of her most intimate, traumatic, and gut wrenching experiences. They talk about the importance of being able to joke about your own trauma, why humor is healing and we have to be allowed to joke about everything, people who try to police your grief, how grief is so misunderstood in this country, and the weird things that can happen when you’re grieving. They also cover why safe spaces aren’t real, expecting the world to revolve around your feelings, the idea that intention doesn’t matter, being able to talk about the people you’ve lost, the reality of watching someone die, outrage culture, why erasing things we find offensive from our past is not the answer, why coming after the arts is sinister, and why art is a necessary tool for reviving humanity.
