Susan Yeagley Pt. 1: Coping With Self Quarantine, Grocery Shopping in Costume, Big Hair & Getting Over Our "Self"

Welcome to another episode of the Modern Moron!  Have I got a treat for you during these otherwise tough and troubling times, an optimist to my pessimism, a glass half full to my flask half empty, a yin to my Moronic and yang.  Speaking of Yang, I miss Andrew Yang. Remember when we had a democratic primary going on with a historic diversity of candidates that dwindled down to two old white guys?.... Ah, those were simpler times. My guest!  My guest!    My guest is a long time friend Susan Yeagley form my days in L.A. with the Groundlings Theater.  We were in the Sunday Company together which is kind of like comedy boot for stretches of 6 months at a time.  It's pretty much a 24/7 affair, rewarding and emotionally brutal at the same time. And I'll speak for all Sunday company alumni in saying that regardless of the outcome I don't know of many people who regret the experience. I'm really digressing today.  Maybe it's Cabin fever.   Susan and I cover a lot of ground… so I've decided to break it up into two parts… mainly so I can get you to come back for another episode. We're going to talk about the corona virus and the self quarantine of course,  we also talk about ways to cope…. Like therapeutic plate smashing and ax throwing…  Not only do we talk about Covid-19 we will learn from Susan about the Self Quarantine Covid-15 which you're definitely going to want to hear about. She tells us what it's like to grow up in Nashville, Tennessee and not be able to sing.  Apparently that's a given, that you'll sing and play 5 different instruments. I said this last week and I'll say it again that this is NOT a place to go for advice or information about this pandemic and I guarantee you that we will try to make light of this situation so, this is not the podcast for you if you are sensitive about the corona virus as a topic.  I do wonder if stores are selling much Corona beer these days. It's definitely a temporary solution. You probably have seen Susan play her character Jessica Wicks on NBC's Parks and Recreation.  which you can still catch on Netflix AND Hulu. What a great show to binge watch while you're stuck in the house. Lot's of good vibes and tips from Susan Yeagely, and we hint at the possibility of her running for public office… It's a Modern Moron exclusive and as always, thank you for listening.
