Anthony Jeselnik stops by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk about The Jeselnik Offensive, growing up in Pittsburgh, working at Borders, being ridiculously good looking, asking his therapist if he might be a sociopath, relationships, finding his voice and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone (click here to see the JMOEs from this episode).

When learning to meditate, having a “flood” of emotion and/or crying is 1,000,000% normal. It’s the same with yoga, especially when in corpse pose, child’s pose, and similar poses.
I could hear Alison cringing and becoming uncomfortable when Anthony answered certain questions and the episode seemed shorter than most. I’m not making a value judgment on this guy, but let’s analyze this a little bit for shits and giggles:
1. He says he cheats to get girls to break up with him (or at least did at one time, I wasn’t totally clear on whether it happened once or only during a certain time in his life or what).
2. He says he hates it when people are afraid of him (i.e. jingles his keys on his way to his car to send the signal “I’m not after you” – I assume to women in parking lots or something?).
3. He says he can’t imagine the commitment of marriage / things would get old / mentions being “stuck” with someone.
4. He says he values the time he had in relationships and thinks the worst thing would be for an ex partner to feel it had been a waste of time.
5. He is 34 years old.
I get that marriage is not for everyone. I also get that some people don’t become emotionally mature enough for marriage, well, ever, but it’s common to be in your mid 30s to 40s before “waking up” to the notion that commitment is doable, it just takes actual commitment (which is very hard), the right partner for you, emotional maturity, the ability to empathize and so on.
I’m not saying it’s good, bad or indifferent, but it sounds to me like he is terrified of authentic failure on his own part and thus avoids it at all costs.
Just sayin.

Couldn’t agree more with your assessment and had the same reaction. Cringeworthy for sure

Too funny – I was wondering if I was just listening with my cranky ears on, because I just couldn’t get into the typical lovely conversational flow between Alison and her guest – but seems like I may not have been the only one… Namaste

I may not completely disagree with the overly-long amateur analysis of Jeselnik, but I’m not sure this is the appropriate place for it.
Good episode.
Also, 100% agreed on the meditation thing- I think there’s actually more risk to not addressing the reason for bursting into tears than the other way around; that is to say, stopping would be “doing it wrong”, not the crying.
