I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying: A Memoir by Youngmi Mayer

Please visit <a href="https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755089">https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755089</a> to listen full audiobooks. Title: I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying: A Memoir Author: Youngmi Mayer Narrator: Youngmi Mayer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 10 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Comedy Publisher's Summary: From standup comedian Youngmi Mayer, an unforgettable memoir written with “raw, enviable freedom that simply floors you,” interrogating whiteness, gender, and sexuality in America, navigating a tumultuous childhood in Korea and Saipan, and coming to terms with her parents’ shortcomings (Michelle Zauner). “Do you know what happens if you laugh while crying? Hair grows out of your butthole.” It was a constant truism Youngmi Mayer’s mother would say threateningly after she would make her daughter laugh while crying. Her mother used it to cheer her up in moments when she could tell Youngmi was overtaken with grief. The humorous saying would never fail to lighten the mood, causing both daughter and mother to laugh and cry at the same time. Her mother had learned this trick from her mother, and her mother had learned this from her mother before her: it had also helped an endless string of her family laugh through suffering. In I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying, Youngmi jokes through the retelling of her childhood as an offbeat biracial kid in Saipan, a place next to a place that Americans might know. She jokes through her difficult adolescence where she must parent her own parents: a mother who married her husband because he looked like white Jesus (and the singer of The Bee Gees). And with humor and irreverence and full-throated openness, she jokes even while sharing the story of what her family went through during the last century of colonialism and war in Korea, while reflecting how years later, their wounds affect her in New York City as a single mom, all the while interrogating whiteness, gender, and sexuality. Youngmi jokes through these stories in hopes of passing onto the reader what her family passed down to her: The gift of laughing while crying. The gift of a hairy butthole. Because throughout it all, the one thing she learned was one cannot exist without the other. And like a yin and yang, this duality is reflected in this whip-smart, heart-wrenching, and disarmingly funny memoir told by a bright new voice with so much heart and wisdom.

Chris Addison: A BBC Radio Comedy Collection: The Ape That Got Lucky & Civilization by Chris Addison

Please visit <a href="https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/797781">https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/797781</a> to listen full audiobooks. Title: Chris Addison: A BBC Radio Comedy Collection: The Ape That Got Lucky & Civilization Author: Chris Addison Narrator: Jo Enright, Geoffrey Mcgivern, Dan Tetsell, Chris Addison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 44 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Comedy Publisher's Summary: Award-winning comedian Chris Addison explores the funny side of human evolution and Western civilisation in two BBC Radio 4 spoof lecture series Chris Addison – the thinking idiot's pretend anthropologist – takes us on a comic journey through the vast and rich subject of human history in these eight hilarious comedy lectures. Aided by Professor Austin Herring (aka Geoffrey McGivern), Dan Tetsell and Jo Enright, who put their considerable talents to use in sketches illustrating the lectures, he examines how Homo sapiens became Top Species, charts the rise and fall of the Western world and looks at what’s next for the future of mankind. In the Sony Gold Award-winning show The Ape that Got Lucky, he muses on the topics of Language and Communication, Social Development, Science and Progress and Man or Monkey. He asks why it’s fortunate the original human language developed in Africa rather than England; tells the real story of why our brains are so big; considers how many things, including penicillin and the light bulb, have been discovered by accident and reflects that a lot of the characteristics we imagine to be uniquely human are really just animal ones. The follow-up series Civilization sees Chris explaining why Western civilisation is on its last legs, and pondering how we can build ourselves a new one. Over four themed episodes – Controlling the Universe, Cities and Laws, A Working Society and A Sense of Identity – he investigates the ways we’ve tried to influence our physical environment; the flaws in our urban democratic system; the rocky road we’ve travelled over the past 5,500 years and how ‘culture’ gives civilisation a sense of identity. And most importantly, he reveals why he chose to spell ‘civilisation’ with a Z… Cast and credits Starring Chris Addison, with Geoffrey McGivern, Jo Enright and Dan Tetsell Written by Chris Addison and Carl Cooper Produced by Simon Nicholls First broadcast on BBC Radio 4, 4-25 August 2005 (The Ape That Got Lucky), 5-26 April 2006 (Civilization) © 2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Title: Magical Thinking: True Stories Author: Augusten Burroughs Narrator: Augusten Burroughs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 30 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Comedy Publisher's Summary: This book was written in an era before trigger warnings. Sensitive readers please proceed with caution. —Love, Augusten. From the #1 bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry—a contagiously funny, heartwarming, shocking, twisted, and absolutely magical collection. True stories that give voice to the thoughts we all have but dare not mention. It begins with a Tang Instant Breakfast Drink television commercial when Augusten was seven. Then there is the contest of wills with the deranged cleaning lady. The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. Dating an undertaker. And much more. A collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal, yet unabashedly intimate and very funny. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.
