This week, host Liam McEneaney visits the home office of comedy superstar Jim Gaffigan, and his wife and collaborator Jeannie Gaffigan. We discuss  Jim's latest special Noble Ape, how Jim and Jeannie met, how they work together, how writing a joke about Trump is a lot like writing about religion, and a lot more. Jeannie also talks about the pear-sized tumor that was removed from her brain stem, about how the work helped speed her recovery in a year's time from surgery to directing/producing/writing on Jim's latest special. In fact, she wrote a book about it available for pre-order RIGHT NOW; When Life Gives You Pears: The Healing Power of Family, Faith, and Funny People. All this, and storytelling legend Kevin Allison of the RISK! podcast tells a hilarious and true story about the search for love in all the usual places. All this, and Liam regales us with one of his road stories. Support TYF! at patreon.com/radio

Helen has written a new article on Medium about freelancing called "The Starbucks Factor: Apply it to Every Freelance Job You Do." Read it here. Jim Gaffigan's Noble Ape is another funny turn about middle America, and Amy Schumer shines in Growing, both one-hour specials on Netflix. If you've never watched Turkish cinema you should try it! Eksi Elmalar means Sour Apples, a beautiful movie by filmmaker Yilmaz Erdogan. "God Knows Where I Am" is a documentary on Netflix that asks important questions about how we treat and look after people with serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia in our society, and tells a mysterious true life story about a women's preventable death.
