• 2:10Mae Martin?

  Pretty Little Episode.

• 2:19Tig Notaro?

  Hello, Mae Martin.

• 2:21Mae Martin?

  Hi, Tig. How are you?

• 2:23Tig Notaro?

  I'm doing well. Welcome to the Pretty Little Episode.

• 2:27Mae Martin?

  Thanks for having me and welcome to you as well.

• 2:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, thank you for having me. It's always a pleasure to be here.

• 2:35Mae Martin?

  An absolute pleasure. It feels like there's like, if there's a movie of The Handsome Paw, then the B plot is this relationship developing in the Pretty Little Episode.

• 2:47Tig Notaro?

  What is the A plot?

• 2:49Mae Martin?

  Um, just the regs, you, me and Fortune hanging out.

• 2:52Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh, yeah.

• 2:53Mae Martin?

  Yeah. And then I guess there's a C plot I don't know about of you and Fortune.

• 2:58Tig Notaro?

  Exactly.

• 2:59Mae Martin?

  Shit.

• 2:59Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And then there's the you and Fortune.

• 3:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah, you have no idea.

• 3:08Tig Notaro?

  And then there's the E plot of Thomas just running around nuts.

• 3:12Mae Martin?

  Yeah, trying to get everyone organized.

• 3:14Tig Notaro?

  Putting things on lists and stuff, doing nothing with the list. Yeah. I'd watch it.

• 3:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I'd watch it.

• 3:22Tig Notaro?

  Why not?

• 3:23Mae Martin?

  I went to see Gladiator last night.

• 3:25Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 3:26Mae Martin?

  Gladiator two.

• 3:26Tig Notaro?

  Didn't know that was out.

• 3:28Mae Martin?

  It's out and it is so gay, kind of. I mean, it's just glistening men fighting. It was really, I loved it. I had a great, a great time, but there is one part.

• 3:39Tig Notaro?

  Were you hot for them?

• 3:40Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah. I mean, come on. It's like, they're the two hottest people around right now.

• 3:45Tig Notaro?

  Who are? Who, who's in the movie?

• 3:47Mae Martin?

  Paul Maske and Pedro Pascal.

• 3:51Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 3:52Mae Martin?

  I actually had a sex dream the other night about a, an older gay man who said to me, he could rescue me from execution. I was gonna be killed by the government, you see? And he said, I can, he said, I can rescue you, but I'll have to.

• 4:11Mae Martin?

  Cover you in oil and then you'll stay young forever. And so he did this to me and then, and then he gave me an enema. This was my dream. It was crazy.

• 4:22Tig Notaro?

  Well, it feels like a dream that could easily come true in your life.

• 4:26Mae Martin?

  I'm up for that. Sure. Why not? At this point.

• 4:30Tig Notaro?

  You're having that dream. Meanwhile, I'm tossing and turning with my eye mask on and earplugs in.

• 4:36Mae Martin?

  Desperate to get even five minutes of sleep. While I'm smiling. Yeah, I'm getting an enema from like a hot.

• 4:43Tig Notaro?

  Loving it.

• 4:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah, but there is a part in Gladiator where, and this is, I don't think a spoiler, because it's not like a big plot.

• 4:50Tig Notaro?

  Good.

• 4:51Mae Martin?

  But there's a big fight where they fill the Colosseum with water and they, and there are sharks in there. So the gladiators are fighting in boats in the Colosseum. And then there's sharks that they've put in there. And I thought that was so insane. And I don't know if that, I don't want to find out if that was really a thing that happened. I don't, how would you even collect sharks?

• 5:14Tig Notaro?

  Well, I don't know.

• 5:17Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 5:17Speaker 04

  They did flood the Colosseum, but there were not sharks. Is what I heard.

• 5:22Mae Martin?

  Okay, well, that's crazy to know that they would fill it with water. But yeah, shark seems like a stretch.

• 5:28Tig Notaro?

  So why did they put sharks in?

• 5:30Mae Martin?

  To make it scary, I guess, in the movie. But they were also, yeah, I like a shark in a movie. I'm really scared of them in real life. Are you?

• 5:38Tig Notaro?

  Well, you know, I've gone swimming with sharks.

• 5:41Mae Martin?

  Oh, yes. Fuck, of course.

• 5:43Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, like not in a cage, just out floating, free floating with bull sharks, which apparently are the most aggressive sharks.

• 5:54Mae Martin?

  That's so out of control. Yeah.

• 5:56Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah. I won't do it again. I don't know if you remember, but I called Stephanie to tell her, like, it was exciting, good news. And she was not amused.

• 6:07Mae Martin?

  Right. She was like, you have a family.

• 6:10Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Yeah. So I, but I am scared of sharks.

• 6:16Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 6:16Tig Notaro?

  Definitely scared of sharks. But it was really crazy to full on face that kind of fear. And that's not like a roller coaster face your fear. That's like, I don't know what my fear is gonna do. My fear is coming up to me. And there's bloody chum in the water.

• 6:37Mae Martin?

  Chum.

• 6:37Tig Notaro?

  And, yeah.

• 6:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah, it's not like an irrational phobia either. It's like this is an apex predator that could easily swallow a little tig whole.

• 6:48Tig Notaro?

  That's right. I mean, I was reading in the news the other day about how people are so scared of sharks and bears when actually they should be more scared of deer.

• 6:58Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 6:59Tig Notaro?

  That's, that's who's gonna kill you.

• 7:02Mae Martin?

  Why are the deer gonna kill you?

• 7:04Tig Notaro?

  Jumping out in the road.

• 7:05Mae Martin?

  Oh shit, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 7:08Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Everybody has all these other fears when Bambi is frolicking.

• 7:15Mae Martin?

  And isn't it, and cows as well, like the, like if you actually look at the number of deaths caused by, it's like the cute, you know, it's probably a lot of gerbil deaths and stuff, but we're scared of like.

• 7:25Tig Notaro?

  Wait, hold on. What are you talking about? You were talking about cows and then you said a lot of gerbil deaths. What?

• 7:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 7:32Tig Notaro?

  Explain.

• 7:33Mae Martin?

  Well, I was just thinking, we're, we're, we're exposed to gerbils quite a lot. And I'm sure there's more.

• 7:40Tig Notaro?

  I never see gerbils. Where are you seeing, what is happening?

• 7:44Mae Martin?

  I feel like they were big in the nineties. All my friends had gerbils that kept dying and.

• 7:48Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my friends had them in the seventies and eighties too. But what, how are we, I haven't seen one in decades.

• 7:55Mae Martin?

  That's a good point. Okay. Should we write some observational standup about that? Whatever happened to gerbils? But I just mean, there's probably more accidental gerbil related deaths.

• 8:08Tig Notaro?

  Like gerbils are dying or people die because of gerbils?

• 8:11Mae Martin?

  People die.

• 8:12Tig Notaro?

  Like they trip, they trip over the little gerbil ball that the gerbil's running around in?

• 8:16Mae Martin?

  Yeah, or the gerbil bites, it's your jugular or, I mean, look, I'm beating around the bush here, but I'm, we're all thinking it.

• 8:24Tig Notaro?

  What?

• 8:26Tig Notaro?

  What, May?

• 8:27Mae Martin?

  The gerbil of the bum. That's a thing. That's a real thing.

• 8:32Tig Notaro?

  It, it can't be a real thing.

• 8:35Mae Martin?

  Didn't Richard Gere do it?

• 8:37Tig Notaro?

  This is the dumbest thing in the world.

• 8:41Mae Martin?

  It's a thing.

• 8:42Tig Notaro?

  Richard Gere. I have heard this rumor, but there is no world Richard Gere had a gerbil in his anus.

• 8:52Mae Martin?

  I don't know. You get so famous at a certain point and nothing excites you anymore. You might, you're like, oh, I guess I want to feel something.

• 9:01Tig Notaro?

  And wait, are, okay, let's remove Richard Gere.

• 9:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 9:05Tig Notaro?

  And the made up story about the gerbil.

• 9:07Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 9:08Tig Notaro?

  I mean, and to quickly go back to him, the poor guy, like what a weird story to follow you around and you're still putting it out there, May. Okay. So removing him from the conversation, where did this come from? People are not putting gerbils, right?

• 9:25Mae Martin?

  I don't know if it, it must've come, where there's smoke, there's fire, right? It must've come from somewhere. It must've been a thing. Maybe, I mean.

• 9:35Tig Notaro?

  But how would that even work? How do you get a gerbil to go?

• 9:40Mae Martin?

  Look, the problem is not trying to get it to go in. It's trying to get it to come out. That's the problem.

• 9:45Tig Notaro?

  Both seem like a problem. But like, if you, if I walked into the room and you had your pants down and you're trying to lure a gerbil.

• 9:56Mae Martin?

  Oh, man, you're, you're right.

• 9:57Tig Notaro?

  How would you get the, how would you get the gerbil in there?

• 10:00Mae Martin?

  You'd have to put some food in there first or something, but you're right. As we've actually broken it down and started thinking about it, it is so much more horrific than I just imagined.

• 10:09Tig Notaro?

  I actually think it'd be easier to get it out because you just reach in there and pull the critter out. But like to get it to go in to. A closed cave.

• 10:22Mae Martin?

  How easily are you reaching in there to pull it out there? I think you'd have to have a little

• 10:26Tig Notaro?

  Well, it has a tail, right? Don't they have tails? Or are those just rats?

• 10:30Mae Martin?

  They have little nubbin tails, I think.

• 10:32Tig Notaro?

  Okay, well, I'm going to push for, well, nobody should be doing this. I was gonna suggest people do this with a rat, because then you could at least keep the tail within reach. But like, what terrible vegan would I be telling people use a rat rather than a gerbil?

• 10:50Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 10:51Tig Notaro?

  I don't believe that people really did this. Thomas, can you Google to see if that's like, a thing that has really happened? Because the gerbil would have to be using its little claws and open it, like, how?

• 11:06Mae Martin?

  It's for sure happened, though. It must have.

• 11:08Tig Notaro?

  Are you speaking from experience, Meg?

• 11:11Mae Martin?

  Absolutely not. No, they freaked me out.

• 11:12Tig Notaro?

  From one of your gerbil orgies?

• 11:14Mae Martin?

  No, no, never.

• 11:16Speaker 04

  Wikipedia says there is no evidence, first of all, the entry is called "gerbaling", and it's also known as "gerbil stuffing" or "gerbil shooting", and Wikipedia says there is no evidence that the practice has ever occurred in real life, and its existence remains highly dubious, as all rodents have long nails and teeth for digging or burrowing, and naturally try to burrow out of any small spaces.

• 11:41Tig Notaro?

  I rest my case. I rest my case. This is the dumbest conversation to ever happen.

• 11:48Mae Martin?

  This is, my whole world, my world is crumbling, because like, isn't it crazy how, I feel like in the 90s, just, we didn't even have social media or anything, but we somehow managed to spread rumors across every high school in the world.

• 12:03Tig Notaro?

  And poor Richard Gere. Is his face at least in that Wikipedia, and saying, "Leave this man alone"?

• 12:09Speaker 04

  It's, he's not, but I did find this by searching "Richard Gere gerbil".

• 12:15Tig Notaro?

  You search "Richard Gere", and it immediately goes to Wikipedia, "Gerbil anus entry"?

• 12:21Mae Martin?

  That's so funny.

• 12:27Tig Notaro?

  Oh my God. Well, should we just transition on over to our first question?

• 12:35Mae Martin?

  Yes, let's go.

• 12:37Speaker 04

  I have a great question.

• 12:39Speaker 05

  Hi, Handsoms. My question is, if you could fluently communicate with an animal, what animal would you choose? And what question would you ask it?

• 12:51Tig Notaro?

  Love that this is teed up by Thomas's. Now, this is a good question.

• 12:55Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, Thomas loves this one.

• 12:58Tig Notaro?

  Oh, man. I mean, I feel like my lazy go-to would just be my cats.

• 13:04Mae Martin?

  Right. Just to find out what-

• 13:06Tig Notaro?

  Our son, our son, I call him little son, but our cat, Linus,

• 13:13Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 13:14Tig Notaro?

  I have given him a voice that makes him sound maybe not so smart.

• 13:18Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 13:20Tig Notaro?

  And so I would definitely love to know what, if anything, Linus is thinking.

• 13:28Mae Martin?

  Yeah. I mean, my first thought was like, you know, a White House dog or something that could tell me all the secrets about aliens and stuff. Then I thought, is there maybe a bird who lives outside one of my ex's houses? Could tell me whether it's worth me still holding on?

• 13:44Tig Notaro?

  You could also have like a stray cat in your ex's yard.

• 13:47Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's true.

• 13:48Tig Notaro?

  Or a little mouse that's living in the house.

• 13:51Mae Martin?

  Now I feel like I'm being creepy and spying. Something about the bird just felt a little more innocent. I just, I don't, I don't need to know what's going on. I just want to know, should I still have hope? And I want to know what else you see him from up there. A bird would be really interesting to talk to, like one of those, the fact that monarch butterflies migrate across the ocean with those flimsy little wings. I want to know how they're doing that.

• 14:16Tig Notaro?

  Butterflies are remarkable.

• 14:19Mae Martin?

  Right?

• 14:20Tig Notaro?

  Absolutely remarkable.

• 14:22Mae Martin?

  Would you like to talk to a mountain goat?

• 14:25Tig Notaro?

  I already do. They haven't answered back, but oh my God, I'm like, how are you doing that? How are you doing that, Mr. Clovenhoof?

• 14:35Mae Martin?

  I noticed that neither of us have said Biggie. It's because, look, in the safety of this pretty little episode, we know, we don't need to talk to Biggie, you and I. We know Biggie would just be like, hello.

• 14:46Tig Notaro?

  Yep, I love Fortune. I love Jack.

• 14:49Mae Martin?

  I love Fortune. I love Jack. I'm sleepy.

• 14:52Tig Notaro?

  I'm hungry.

• 14:54Mae Martin?

  Oh, it would be pretty cute, actually.

• 14:56Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh. Everything, all things Biggie is, is the cutest thing.

• 15:01Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 15:02Tig Notaro?

  Well, should we hear Jacob's answer?

• 15:04Mae Martin?

  Yes, please.

• 15:05Speaker 05

  And my answer is, I would choose ravens, specifically this group of ravens that lives in our yard. We recently moved just outside of Toronto, and I would ask them what the most interesting thing is about the area that they think is interesting.

• 15:27Speaker 05

  Okay, thank you.

• 15:28Mae Martin?

  That's a good one, because ravens and crows, um, intergenerationally carry grudges against humans. Like, they'll tell, a crow will tell their child.

• 15:38Tig Notaro?

  For years.

• 15:39Mae Martin?

  Yes, like that. So that would be interesting. They really remember stuff. Yeah.

• 15:43Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Good answer, Jacob.

• 15:45Mae Martin?

  Very good, very strong. What if the crow was like,

• 15:48Tig Notaro?

  I saw a murder.

• 15:49Mae Martin?

  And then you had to decide whether to take the information to the cops and tell them where you, what your source was.

• 15:56Tig Notaro?

  Hmm, hmm. Only you can answer that, May.

• 15:59Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I'd go to the cops, but I'd probably be committed, you know.

• 16:06Mae Martin?

  Should we hear another question?

• 16:08Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  Hi, handsome. My name's Lucy and I'm from England. I'm from the southwest of England, um, just near Bath, if you know Bath. It's where they filmed Bridgerton. My question for you is, what is the biggest thing that somebody has spoiled for you? So it might be, uh, the plot of a movie, or a book, or something, a surprise that was gonna happen for you. Um, but something that really sticks out in your mind of, oh, you ruined that.

• 16:38Tig Notaro?

  Well, my life.

• 16:39Mae Martin?

  Who ruined your life?

• 16:43Tig Notaro?

  No, it's so funny. Um, we were just talking about how Max and Finn are eight and a half.

• 16:51Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 16:52Tig Notaro?

  And we have the reverse problem for most people where we can't get them to stop believing in Santa.

• 17:01Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. Like, you've told them and they're like, no, he's real.

• 17:04Tig Notaro?

  We haven't told them. We just show them movies because we're kind of like, oh, my God, they're almost nine. And they are all in. And we're just like, oh, my, like, we are so ready to just be done with the Santa and the eating the cookie and the carrot.

• 17:26Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God, they're gonna be at college and leaving cookies out.

• 17:32Tig Notaro?

  My gosh. So we're trying to spoil it for them, but it won't take.

• 17:37Mae Martin?

  I had somebody spoil Titanic for me when it came out, that Jack was gonna die. That was bad. I mean, I knew the ship was gonna sink because I knew it was based on truth. But, um, I didn't know that Jack died and that that was a bummer.

• 17:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry you went through that.

• 17:54Mae Martin?

  Thank you. It was my first date maybe ever with Dalton Dane. We went, we held hands.

• 18:01Tig Notaro?

  Wow.

• 18:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah, our parents picked us up. It was a really romantic date, actually. We also went skating and we went to McDonald's.

• 18:09Tig Notaro?

  My goodness. How old were you?

• 18:13Mae Martin?

  Twelve, thirteen, maybe twelve, twelve, yeah. Um, have you ever had a movie spoiled for you?

• 18:20Tig Notaro?

  Well, people spoil movies for me all the time because they know I'm not gonna watch them.

• 18:24Mae Martin?

  Right, right.

• 18:24Tig Notaro?

  They're like, is it okay if I tell you? I'm like, tell me everything. It's fine.

• 18:28Mae Martin?

  Did you know, did you, have you seen The Sixth Sense?

• 18:31Tig Notaro?

  I haven't. In fact, Stephanie was just talking to me about it the other night where she was like, it's truly a masterpiece. Like, a movie like that will not shock anyone like, or you can't.

• 18:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:44Tig Notaro?

  She was talking about how unusual it is to be absolutely blown away.

• 18:48Mae Martin?

  It was so great.

• 18:49Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 18:50Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Um, okay. Well, I won't spoil it for you then.

• 18:52Tig Notaro?

  Well, I mean, she spoiled it for me.

• 18:54Mae Martin?

  Oh, she did?

• 18:55Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:56Mae Martin?

  What? Stephanie?

• 18:58Tig Notaro?

  Well, I mean, I can say, no, I want to watch it, which I want to. But she was also talking about how cool it is that a movie like that, you watch it and then everybody wants to go see it again to view it.

• 19:14Mae Martin?

  Yes.

• 19:15Tig Notaro?

  Different eyes.

• 19:16Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's very cool.

• 19:18Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 19:18Mae Martin?

  And a tough writing puzzle. You're like, it's like a math problem.

• 19:22Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 19:22Mae Martin?

  You're trying to write something like that. Should we hear Lucy's answer?

• 19:25Tig Notaro?

  Way too lazy. Yeah.

• 19:26Speaker 03

  And my answer for this question, I have a very, very clear memory of being probably about fourteen. And one of the big Harry Potter books had just come out and I was so, so excited. And I was one of those people that would go and buy the Harry Potter book at, I don't know, midnight and then read it all day. But whoever, this guy that was in my class obviously read faster than me. And I had just almost got to the end of the book, but not quite. And I remember him standing up at the back of the school bus and shouting down the whole thing, Sirius dies. And I just could have, I could have killed him. Yeah, that was the biggest spoiler. I was a huge, huge fan. I'm still a huge fan. And yeah,

• 20:11Speaker 03

  it just kind of really, that really sucked. But anyway, I love you guys. Thank you. I listen every week. And yeah, you just make me really happy. Bye.

• 20:20Mae Martin?

  Oh, thanks.

• 20:21Tig Notaro?

  Well, thank you, Lucy, but you did just ruin Harry Potter for me.

• 20:26Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 20:27Tig Notaro?

  So now it's been ruined. Yeah, ruined.

• 20:30Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. Yeah. What kind of personality do you think it takes to be the guy that stands up at the back of the school bus? I mean, I think if he's looking for like infamy, it worked because she still remembers it to this day.

• 20:42Tig Notaro?

  I'll never forget.

• 20:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:53Tig Notaro?

  Truly less than a week ago.

• 20:59Tig Notaro?

  Less than a week ago, Max told us that he was lying in bed just before he was falling asleep and he saw Santa fly by outside, it went eight and a half, fly by with his sled and one reindeer. And he said he thinks he was doing a practice loop for like all the new people that have moved into new houses and yeah, yeah.

• 21:23Mae Martin?

  Who are we to judge? Maybe, maybe it happened.

• 21:27Tig Notaro?
