Class Clown & Testosterone Level

Loic and Miyoko are back from their live show at the SF Playground Comedy Festival, and wasting no time getting into it. Loic shares some very exciting news from his morning physical (hint: his doctor used the words "model patient" and "testosterone of an 18-year-old"), and somehow turns it into a meditation on the manosphere. Miyoko reveals she was voted class clown in high school, which surprises exactly no one once she explains it. From there, the conversation goes deep on where the comedy instinct actually comes from, French TV sketches, Buddhist household humor, tragedy as fuel, and the surprisingly thin line between a love language and a roast. They also recap the live show, talk about laughter as a coping mechanism, and float the idea of the world's most unexpected podcast sponsor. Culturally Distressed is the podcast where a French gay millennial and a Japanese American baby boomer figure out what it means to belong, one culturally distressing moment at a time. Hosted by Loic Pichot and Miyoko Sakatani.
