Paul Scheer | Trauma, Baldness & the Case for Minivans

Actor, comedian, podcaster, and author Paul Scheer joins Marlon for a conversation inspired by his memoir, Joyful Recollections of Trauma. Paul talks about revisiting a childhood he once thought was "normal," realizing that shutting something down isn't always the same as dealing with it, and how therapy, parenting, and writing his memoir helped him understand old patterns in new ways. Plus: bald representation, some truly terrible celebrity encounters, and a passionate case for the minivan.
