Dale trudges through the emotional and literal gloom of post-election dismay in NYC and finds a pulsing spark of hope in his conversation with comedian, YouTube star, and radio host, Marie Faustin. Marie is the first person Dale’s encounters after a sleepless night watching the results come in and they discuss their immediate reaction to what’s just been decided for the country. The two brighten things up considerably by tracing Marie’s path to comedy, including her childhood in NY, long hours spent in Haitian church services, carefully packaged food, stolen lotions, and a constant refrain of people telling her, “Hey you’re funny, you should be a comedian!” Plus, Dale learns a lot about hair! Dale ends up inspired by Marie and her work and feels ever so slightly better about where things are headed.
