Cazzie David | Spiritually a Boomer | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out
Mike welcomes author, actor, and filmmaker Cazzie David to the podcast and right away, Mike challenges the notoriously misanthropic Cazzie to list five things she loves. It takes a while. Then, Cazzie breaks down her new book of essays, Delusions, which she says her mom found “disturbing,” and Cazzie talks about co-directing the indie film I Love You Forever. Plus, Cazzie’s close call with a rabid bobcat, and why Mike wants his journals burned after he dies.

Cazzie definitely has the personality/attitude of a Gen X. She reminds me a little of Janeane Garofalo.

I got introduced to Cazzie through her first book, which I bought on audible and I highly recommend. But be prepared to be filled with an overwhelming desire to just give this poor woman a hug!

Her deal breaker: You can't look through my phone. But, I can look through your journal. Um, no, that's not right. and also: Who cares? so toxic and unfunny. She would be boring her co-workers at Zara if she wasn't the child of rich and powerful parents. Typical American un-exceptionalism. Mike gets points for persisting and staying positive.

Proof that personality is hereditary. She is exactly her father.

"Disturbing" has changed so much since I was a kid. In the 80s/90s, a sketchbook full of daggers, skulls, and the like could get you convicted of premeditated murder, but nowadays, a T-shirt covered in cartoonish daggers and skulls might be considered cute, paired with a red hair ribbon, some ripped jeans, and a pair of Converse sneakers.

What you enjoy about the Gilmore Girls is that it's mostly episodic. Whatever happens you will return to the status quo by the time the next episodes comes around. It's something we've lost in the last 15 years or so of television. Everything good has to be serialized to such degree that you can't skip an episode now, and while that is great for some stories, sometimes I just want a story that gets resolved within the hour so I don't feel like a junkie all week waiting for that next injection of The Pitt!

Oh… I'm just surprised Larry David had a daughter… She oozes the same kind of staunchness. She seems like a staunch person.

Cazzie, if it makes you feel better. The rabid bobcat would be long dead by now. Put down the air horn.

Cazzie's camera makes her look six foot six

Cazzie David has the most beautiful vocal fry I’ve ever heard.

I haven't heard of Cazzie, but the introduction doesn't bode well.. "Doesn't like music… Likes reality TV and Cats."

I've only recently learned about the existence of Cazzie David and I think her sharpness is such a joy to watch. I could listen to her have smart, subdued insights into her own insecurities and her place in the world forever. I can't wait to be her biggest fan.

Mike, why is your guest both on the left side of the frame and facing the left side of the frame? She's talking into a void.

Social media's not so bad if you don't read the comments. You probably shouldn't be reading this, Cazzie.

Cazzie I'm glad you have confronted the reality, the gravity of having a bobcat living in your backyard!!! with cats as pets!!!! I'm not envious!!!

If she moved to the UK nobody would even flag the self deprecation, she would just be normal here 😀

She’s kind of insufferable no? Or is that the point?

I’m about to be 31. Every sentiment about feeling like an old man or not finding your audience totally resonates. Book purchased.

That's Larry David's kid, right? Damn she's married!

Thanks for championing women, Mike! I know that you champion FUNNY, but some DO NOT champion funny AND female. You’re the best. 🎉
