Nerdist Presents: Puppets Understand, featuring Kate Micucci & Tony Thaxton

Everyone says the holidays are when you get the blues, but what about those bleak January mornings when work’s piling up, Friday seems miles away, and you’re feelin’ awful lonely? Well, sing along with Kate Micucci and Tony Thaxton, ‘cause they know the truth: puppets understand.

In today’s all new Nerdist Presents, the Garfunkel and Oates singer and fellow musician/Feliz Navipod host gather a few of their pals together to explain why puppets make the very best friends. Had a bad day at work? Puppets understand. Gave up on your new years resolution two days in? Puppets understand! Need a fuzzy shoulder to cry on? You know the words… ♪♬ puppets understand. ♪♬

    Tara Nitz is the puppeteer on the right in the back with the orange puppet! Can you get her name on here?

    Fun song, awesome! Now if only Nerdist would bring the Feliz Navipod podcast onboard that would be perfection.
