David Sedaris #6

David Sedaris joins Dax to talk about strange turns in his life and work, from discovering his name in the Epstein files to crossing state lines after midnight for a tumor removal that ended with him feeding the tumor to a snapping turtle. They cover his process of testing and rewriting essays onstage and granting relatives veto power over his stories. The conversation shifts to why he moved from life's biggest moments to writing about almost nothing, and why he thinks talking to strangers creates real connection. David explains his views on treating words as violence and argues that comedy should be as tasteless as possible.
