What’s the funniest sound in English? That’s the totally serious and extremely important question my friend Lindsay and I set out to answer in this episode. Lindsay, a self-titled "comedy nerd," will walk you through the squiggles, pauses, and babbling that makes something actually sound funny— even before the punchline hits. And the best part? These lessons might actually help you in real life. Even when you're not trying to land a joke.
