And now he has a new memoir titled Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

It's interesting because you tell these stories that are part of your life and that you maybe have no spin on. It's like, oh yeah, this just happened.

I was like, oh yeah, I never opened the door for strangers because my grandma told me about this butcher who would kill kids and chop them up into chopped meat.

That image, I mean, I know it can't exist by the look who's talking, baby. Is your grandma a Grimm brother?

You've had people say, no, Paul, that's not a normal childhood. That's not what you do.

Glennon was rereading a book about trauma and found herself reading the book from the perspective of the people she planned to give it to, imagining their epiphanies about their own childhood trauma.

"

Babe, I'm rereading a book about trauma right now.

I found myself yesterday, I read books as the people that I love who I'm going to give the book to.

I was reading the book thinking I'm going to give this book to two people that I love.

And then I was reading paragraphs, imagining myself to be the person that I love and what epiphanies they would be having if they were reading that paragraph about their particular childhood trauma.

Because I thought, oh, this book is going to help them so much and they're going to read this and they're going to know that what they're doing in their life is really just a result of childhood trauma.

Joyful Recollections of Trauma is still available wherever you get your books, your audio books, your ebooks. I've been blown away by the reaction to the book. I really cannot tell you what it means to me. It's been overwhelming but keep on posting up your reviews on Goodreads and Amazon because it helps get the book out to different people's hands.

I love the book. Thanks so much. It was a fantastic book.

First of all, thank you so much for loving my book. Secondly, Lee, I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. Right. There are so many cases of this happening with people that we love. You know, my my gut would be that maybe he's walled himself off from human interaction, because that's really the thing that I go to in these movies. This an old it's not the way that people speak to each other. Not even like it's not even like something you would overhear. It's like he's not out in the world. And I don't know if it's an old timey way of doing things or maybe it's like an experiment in being almost very bald in your in your dialogue writing, but it's it is so bizarre that you stop and go this is an alien. This is not a and I don't know what that is. But the only thing I could assume is that he's been insulated from maybe even reading other people's stuff or interacting in the world. Although that sounds insane, because I'm sure he's a lovely guy who's out hanging out in Philadelphia. But I don't know. I mean, it's so bizarre that you're right. I don't think it's just characters. I think it's dialogue too. He's lost his ear for it. But yet he's got these great premises. Maybe it's a world in which he needs to pair up with somebody else. I don't know. What a good question.

Boxes are a big part of your memoir and all the boxes and your collections, but you had a box that was titled, that had a label on it. This is a big, big box that said wigs and mustaches.

I showed you the book very much towards the end and I don't know if you knew what was in there and this joke is not in there, but I do think that part of what was so special was that you felt comfortable enough with me to talk to me. And I felt beyond anything that was going on in our romantic life, beyond anything that was going on as performers, I respected your opinion to hear that and sit with it.

You know, I've never in my life had this experience and you've heard me do it where when someone tells you just happened yesterday, a woman we were talking to, I had met before, but we spent some time with her here on vacation, had shared the most beautiful reading of your book, which was about how she, you know, she's a counselor for kids. And she was saying that a lot of people who have gone through trauma are given books on like how to deal with it and how to move on and how to become resilient and move past it.

And it's very clinical and they're very, you know, prescriptive and how your book tells that story, but it is so in such a different way. And with this narrative and, and, um, you know, the tools that you found as, as a child and as an adult, you know, are so helpful, but I have never felt so comfortable receiving praise for someone else.

I'm really, really proud of you. And I, you know, it's funny, I've never in my life had this experience and you've heard me do it where when someone tells you just happened yesterday, a woman we were talking to, I had met before, but we spent some time with her here on vacation, had shared the most beautiful reading of your book, which was about how she, you know, she's a counselor for kids. And she was saying that a lot of people who have gone through trauma are given books on like how to deal with it and how to move on and how to become resilient and move past it. And it's very clinical and they're very, you know, prescriptive and how your book tells that story, but it is so in such a different way. And with this narrative and, and, um, you know, the tools that you found as, as a child and as an adult, you know, are so helpful, but I have never felt so comfortable receiving praise for someone else. And I, when she said it, I said immediately, thank you. You know, I've never felt so, I mean, it's, I've never taken so much pride in anything I've done, to be honest. And I, as the amount of pride I am taking in your book.

And I deeply love all of those people I'm referring to. And my memoir is called Beyond the Bit.

But by the way, and I just want you to know too, like it's not as if you don't do bits and, and, and are funny in responding to bits, but I could also understand like the only way of communicating for a long time or around a large, it was just through bits. It's like, well, do I know these people? Or is this like, is this person a, you know, above the ground pool salesman? Like, I don't know, you know.

And everybody evolves and everybody changes too. You know, but, but you're talking about my willingness to be vulnerable or be who I am, but that's exactly what you've done with your book is really bear parts of yourself and share such deep, you know, such deep and personal stories about yourself. And I'm really, really proud of you.

Paul expressed his gratitude for the book's success, becoming a New York Times bestseller and being featured on the indie bookstore bestseller list. He encouraged listeners to continue reviewing the book and recommending it to friends.

"

People, thank you. Thank you for coming out for my book tour. You made me a New York Times bestseller. I mean, truly, I am floored by that. You know how hard that is?

I didn't realize how hard that was until I had a book. I came out in a week where there were five nonfiction books released. Three of them were memoirs, and I still got on the New York Times bestseller list. That is an impossible task.

I got on the indie bookstore bestseller list, which means that you've all been purchasing from indie bookstores. I can't thank the indie bookstores enough. From The Strand to Elliott Bay to Powell's, everybody who has been so supportive. Word Bookstore in Brooklyn, I have just been completely blown away. Thank you, thank you, thank you for buying the book, buying the audiobook.

I will ask one more thing and say, if you have not reviewed it yet, please do review it and recommend it to your friends because something kind of crazy is happening with this book, which is I think that people didn't expect this book to be what it is, and now they're really enjoying it. People are excited about that. I'm excited about that. Yeah, let's keep it going.

I just wanted to say though, from the bottom of my heart, one of the best parts of this entire tour for the last two weeks when I've been away was meeting all of you, whether it was in San Francisco or Brooklyn or New York or Chicago. I've just been completely overwhelmed by how wonderful everybody is and I will still get chances out there to meet you and I will be hiding books in stores.

Paul Scheer announced his new book, Joyful Recollections of Trauma, which is a collection of childhood stories. He encouraged listeners to pre-order the book, mentioning a special deal available on Amazon and promising a unique experience for pre-orders, including a website component and a mailed item. He also discussed his upcoming tour dates and thanked listeners for their support in prompting him to write the book.

"

For years you have been asking me, Paul, when are we gonna get more childhood stories? You should write them down. And you know what? I did.

I wrote down my stories and I have a damn book. It is called Joyful Recollections of Trauma. It is coming out in May, but it is available for pre-order right now. And actually that's more important. Pre-order is huge in the publishing world.

I would love it if you'd be so inclined to get an audiobook, an e-book, wherever books are sold.

I've actually invested a lot of money, my own money. I'm not making any money on this, but I've invested some money on trying to make a very cool thing for everybody who pre-orders the book.

It's gonna have like a website component and there's actually gonna be something that is going to be mailed to your house.

Joyful Recollections of Trauma, it is available for pre-order wherever you get your books, your e-books, whatever. It's coming out from HarperCollins. Thank you guys for giving me this push.

And you know what? I'll say thank you in person in February in San Diego and San Francisco, where we just announced two brand new shows. That's right, February 3rd and 4th, we're going back to San Fran.

And then we are finally going back to San Diego, which we haven't done since Top Dog.

Go to HDTGM.com for tickets and info. Movies will be announced soon.

London tour, UK tour, we're adding more dates.

Thank you guys for buying tickets. Everywhere in London, it's been amazing.

UK, Dublin, you guys are bringing it. We thank you. All the information is on there at HDTGM.com. We'll see you on the road.

And thank you once again for pushing me to write this book.

And I would love it if you could pre-order it.

And if you want to make sure your library gets it in stock, do that. It's called Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

It's going to be coming out in May, but if I sell enough books, I can start referring to myself as a New York Times bestselling author.

Again, my book is called Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

I'm going all out here. I'm spending my own money to do some cool things for everybody who buys the book ahead of time.

You can go to my website. Find out how to get it. Or just really go to any place you buy books. Go to use your library. Whatever you want to do. Check out Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

This is not going to be the last time you're going to hear about it.

You can find us online everywhere at HDTGM.com. But if you're not on my Discord or HowDidThisGetMade Discord, you are missing out on really the big conversations that we're having. Go check out the HowDidThisGetMade Discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM.

Or leave me a voicemail at 619-PULASK.

And we are going to be doing a very big Last Looks next time.

We also have some special guests coming up on Last Looks that I'm very excited about.

And remember, tell a friend! This show only exists because of the word of mouth that we get through our listeners.

And we appreciate you so, so much.

And last but not least, let me say a very special thank you to our entire behind the scenes team. That's right, I'm talking about our producers, Scott Sani, Molly Reynolds. Our movie picking producer, Ava Halle. Our engineers, Casey Holford and Rich Garcia. Our associate producer, Jess Cisneros.

And let me tell you this, this is not the last time I'm going to thank them. I'm going to keep on thanking them.

Joyful recollections of trauma, How did this get made on tour? We will see you on the road. Or maybe just here next week. Alright, bye for now.

My book Joyful Recollections of Trauma is now available for pre-order.

You can get it as an audiobook which is going to have some extra special features in it. You can get it as a regular book and it's going to be a little bit different than the actual audiobook.

And people, it's important that you buy this. Honestly, I'm going to be very honest with you. Because it helps me. It helps me because I wrote this book for HarperCollins.

It's called Joyful Recollections of Trauma. And I can't tell you exactly what right now but if you pre-order the book, you are in for a lot of special surprises. No joke. I'm going all out here.

Paul Scheer discussed his New York Times bestselling memoir, explaining that it's a reflection of his therapy, not therapy itself. He aimed for honesty and humor while being mindful of his family and public figure wife.

"

I don't view this book as therapy. So it like, it's a reflection of therapy.

I was remembering like my parents are alive. I must not say things that their friends will take and then drive into them,

It wasn't like, Oh my God, what have I done? You know, I was aware of what I was doing.

It's called joyful recollections of trauma, not just recollections of trauma.

I wrote things when I was angry. I wrote things that I was like, yeah. And then I'd read it back. I'm like, do I want it? It's forever out there. It's locked in amber.

Episode: Some Mic it Hot

Paul Scheer introduced his memoir, noting its title and that it had become a NewYorkTimes bestseller, and explained that he wrote it as an honest, funny reflection rather than therapy.

You have a new memoir. I do. Yeah. It's called a joyful recollections of trauma.

And it was a New York times bestseller.

I got to at least say it every single time I talk about my book.

I don't view this book as therapy. So it like, it's a reflection of therapy.

It was actually something that I felt like empowered to write.
