About this episode

Matt Buechele discusses love and relationships before interviewing comedian Chloe Radcliffe about her journey in comedy and screenwriting.

Matt Buechele attends a City Hall wedding and wonders whether love is real and lasting or simply about finding someone to ride the life roller coaster with when the world gets scary. Then Matt sits down with comedian Chloe Radcliffe to talk about her journey from managing soda inventory at Target to stand-up, screenwriting, and her solo show Cheat. They discuss speech and debate, finding comedy after getting laid off, writing a movie for a major studio before knowing how to write a movie, and the terrifying experience of realizing nobody in the room knows what they’re doing. Chloe also opens up about cheating, monogamy, desire, emotional affairs, and why turning the worst parts of yourself into comedy can feel like a form of bloodletting.
