Today my good friend Meryl is interviewing me. She is an established comedian, not to mention one of my funniest friends. We discuss the differences between our breakups, dating in LA, and we then deep-dive on almost every date I've been on in the past year. So to tie this into grief, we are grieving our past romantic selves. Close enough! Part 1 gives the context, and Part 2 gives the tea. YODO!
