It’s that perspective of the comedian to find the joke from experiences that are the most mundane to the most tragic that represents the simple paradoxical Truth of life. And of death. The comedian knows this. They share of themselves. They are vulnerable and reveal insecurities and short comings.

Like the food at Lilian's soul food restaurant, this episode is packed with soul and flavor. It's tender with a perfect blend of spice, and finger looking good, too.
