451. What is Happening and Where Are We? with Catherine Newman

Catherine Newman, [laughs] good morning.

Hello.

I have so...

I have to say something to you right away, which is-

[laughs] Hi

... um, I, I, I, like, love...

I cannot believe that I get to talk to you, 'cause you-

[laughs]

I was introduced to you through my friend Caroline Moss, who was reading, um, Sandwich out loud to me when we were in Mexico.

Like, reading every passage.

Every time she would laugh, she'd look up and be like, "Okay," and then read the book to me, and then I would laugh.

You know how hard it is to make someone laugh when they're not the person reading?

[laughs]

When you're fully out of context, you don't even know the plot of this book.

[laughs] Thanks.

Okay?

I'm glad.

Ugh.

Well, that's the best.

Um, and Nora, you're famous in my house.

I- This is gonna seem less important, but it's not.

You're famous in my house because it was because of a post of yours-

Yeah

... that I bought black Adidas Firebrand or whatever-

Oh, yeah
