S4 Ep241: Episode #241 - College, Compliments, and Corn Syrup
<div>Silas’ daughter is officially off to college, and he’s having a lot of feelings about it. Is college still a no-brainer, or a massive financial gamble you should only take when you’re truly ready? He and Samantha talk through parenting a new college student, the realities of campus party culture, and what it means when your kid proudly shows your old comedy sets to her roommates.<br>
<br>
They also get into the kinds of compliments that really land: being told you’re funny or talented versus just “hot,” why recognition for your work hits different, and how our dreams about teaching, MFAs, and creative careers evolve over time.<br>
<br>
Plus: hotel etiquette wars, cleaning services as mental health, water bottle obsessions, sugar panic, and why we’re always one step away from writing a Black & A Half cookbook.<br>
