EPISODE 64: DALTON
Episode description
"Feelings really aren't me," Dalton told Renée about halfway through their conversation. In addition to making Renée laugh, his sentence sums up the problem he brings to the podcast. Dalton has suffered more than a few tragic losses in the 28 years he has been alive, and the experiences have left him less than friendly with his emotions. It is often said that comedy comes from tragedy, and in Dalton's case, this idea holds true. He has managed to retain his humor - and then some - but loss after gripping loss have stranded his more tender feelings. Renée goes on an excavation mission to find Dalton's exiled emotional self, and in the process they touch on issues from pet loss to parenting. In the end, Renée gives Dalton a plan for stepping back into his feelings, and Dalton leaves Renée with a stomach sore from laughing.
