Shalom Auslander gave voice to something Marc was thinking for most of his life: That he’s been living in a world of Feh. What that Yiddish word means and why Shalom believes it’s an organizing idea that’s been forced on human beings, particularly Jews, for thousands of years is the subject of Shalom’s new book. Shalom and Marc talk about breaking the cycle of Feh, how Shalom did so by completely breaking away from his family, and why the nonstop news cycle is one of the biggest causes of collective misery.

All right, let's do this.
How are you?
What the fuckers?
What the fuck, buddies?
What the fuck, Nicks?
What's happening?
I'm Marc Maron.
This is my podcast.
Welcome to it.
How is everybody today?
Seriously, how are you?
Nervous, excited, relieved, I would imagine, if you're listening to this show.
And to me, wow, what a fucking weekend.
I don't know about you, but I, as you know, on this show, was getting pretty.
Not despairing, but just accepting of something that seemed more awful than I could ever imagine.
And now there's some other thing happening.
I don't know if I'd call it hope, but I'm.
I'm definitely excited.
