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.

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.

I want to thank you all for purchasing my book, Joyful Recollections of Trauma.

I've been completely blown away by all the support.

We had a completely sold-out book tour and your response to the book has really meant the world to me.

And you can also at your independent bookstores ask them to preorder a book that I co-wrote with Kate Black called Represent the Women's Guide to Running for Office and Changing the World.

Chelsea DeVantes, you heard her on our 50 Shades of Grey episodes. She has a brand new book out. It is called I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, But I'm Going To Anyway. Chelsea is absolutely fantastic. Her book is perfect.

I wrote a comedy gal memoir and that also has some sad parts in it.

And my book it's called I Shouldn't Be Telling You This.

I dated a magician who was an improviser uh wait wait now one of those things is not cool and one is cool.

And yes she is. So hope that helps. I'm still traumatized by the book to this day, but it was a great episode. Okay, bye. Don't be ashamed that you read this book. So many people have read this book, and yes,

thank you for answering the question that we all knew in our hearts is true. Abby was a Virgin.

I took a screenshot of one of Travis's post flight Instagram shots where I noticed some strange Virgin in the book that is addressed?

It's like single white female, but with a monkey.

The movie feels like, and the movie feels to me like two different movie ideas mashed together.

Oh, of course. Powerless and also that doctors are not being respectful in a circumstance like that.

That doctors and medical professionals are being glib and careless.

This guy monologues more than anyone and they're filthy, angry.

The movie feels like, and the movie feels to me like two different movie ideas mashed together.

Oh, interesting. I didn't know that.

They say that's what made this movie a failure because earlier versions of the film, allegedly, we don't know this to be true, contained a bizarre brain surgery scene as well as several abusive scenes involving the small monkey. They were deemed too graphic to include in the final cut.

There are a lot of dogs and ghosts in here. And here's just the French magic man song. It's called Listen to the Magic Man.

The dog who stopped the war is one of the most famous ones.

There's a screenwriting book called Save the Cat! It was very popular for a couple years and the idea was that in the first act you would see your character do something that was nice that you get him on your side that you'd save the cat.

I know I'm a little bit late to the game on this one, but The Wager is a fantastic read. If you don't want to read The Wager, it's a true story about a British maritime ship that is lost at sea. A year later, the survivors of the shipwreck arrive. And then a year after that, another ship of survivors arrive and are like, fuck those first survivors. That's how the book starts. It is great. It's, I think, one of the books of the year, The Wager.

I listen to the books on tape of Twilight, which are-

They are so horribly written, it is shocking.

The first book is written in the first person.

It's written as Bella.

You are listening to it like, it's so terrible.

I know I saw Twilight and New Moon at least 10 times each and Eclipse probably five or six.
