Do you ever make fun of yourself? Are you quick to make a joke at your own expense? While not taking yourself too seriously can be a good thing, sometimes people take it too far with self-deprecating humor. That's what Meagan and Lauren are talking about this week (after a quick discussion of Netflix's show Never Have I Ever). Listen to their stories of poking fun at themselves, often unnecessarily. Listen for words of wisdom from an actor in the dessert portion, and hear four tips you can use in the here and now to help deal with self-deprecating humor.
