  Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking whether I brought my sunglasses before driving west at the end of the day? A learning moment. I'm gaining confidence in my driving, but it helps when I'm not blinded by the sun beaming directly into my eyeballs.

  Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking the program before sitting down to enjoy a school play? I'm in shambles. Turns out there's no intermission during this three-hour Shakespeare adaptation, and I really need to go to the bathroom.

  Pretty little episode.

• 2:19Mae Martin?

  Welcome to a pretty little episode of the handsome pod. I'm Mae Martin, joined one on one.

• 2:26Tig Notaro?

  With your very dear friend Tig Notaro.

• 2:30Mae Martin?

  Hello.

• 2:31Tig Notaro?

  Hello, May.

• 2:32Mae Martin?

  Hello, Tig.

• 2:34Tig Notaro?

  Hello. How are you doing?

• 2:36Mae Martin?

  I'm good.

• 2:38Tig Notaro?

  Are you?

• 2:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I'm having I had an apple. I'm gonna go to the gym after this.

• 2:42Tig Notaro?

  I I truly and almost literally have an apple a day.

• 2:48Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 2:49Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 2:49Mae Martin?

  Yes, I thought you were gonna say something about the gym, but I love that you have an apple a day.

• 2:55Tig Notaro?

  Ah, I have an apple a day. I love it. I love it. I love it. And it always happens that when I sit down and have my apple, Stephanie calls me.

• 3:04Mae Martin?

  No way.

• 3:05Tig Notaro?

  Or she or she walks into the room and her imitation of me is.

• 3:12Tig Notaro?

  But um, it doesn't seem to keep the doctor away for me, though.

• 3:16Mae Martin?

  Right, right.

• 3:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 3:17Mae Martin?

  Who knows? You could be the doctor even more if you weren't having.

• 3:20Tig Notaro?

  That's very true. It is very true.

• 3:23Mae Martin?

  What's your poison apple wise? What are you? We're talking gala, pink lady?

• 3:28Tig Notaro?

  Honeycrisp.

• 3:29Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah. Yes.

• 3:31Tig Notaro?

  Honeycrisp. And I think I mentioned it on here and and somebody said, I can't even remember the name, but Gothic crisp. I don't know what it was.

• 3:42Mae Martin?

  Gothic crisp.

• 3:43Tig Notaro?

  I don't know. I'm wrong about it. But I just really love a very crisp, crisp apple.

• 3:51Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 3:51Tig Notaro?

  I mean, I can if it's even slightly off. I mean, the the mealy kind of apples, I really, I cannot do.

• 3:58Mae Martin?

  Oh, no, no way.

• 4:00Tig Notaro?

  When something's mealy like that, I I I will eat the skin off of it and then toss it, but.

• 4:07Mae Martin?

  Sorry?

• 4:08Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you heard me.

• 4:09Mae Martin?

  You'll eat the skin of the apple?

• 4:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I'll go ahead and eat the skin because, you know, there's a lot of nutrients in that. But um, yeah, I'll toss the mealy part, the the white insides.

• 4:20Mae Martin?

  Really? So you're taking little nibbles?

• 4:22Tig Notaro?

  I'll just I'll just like run my teeth a lot, you know, like really pull that skin off.

• 4:27Mae Martin?

  Oh, cool.

• 4:28Tig Notaro?

  Because it's not mealy.

• 4:30Mae Martin?

  I'm always scared that there's, you know, pesticides and stuff in the skin.

• 4:34Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, well, there probably is. I do eat organic ones, but that's not always guaranteed organic.

• 4:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 4:44Tig Notaro?

  But you know, also, I've, I've heard it's, it's better to eat any fruit or vegetables, um, whether it's conventionally grown or organic, as opposed to not having them at all, whether there's pesticides or not. I mean, it's,

• 5:00Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 5:00Tig Notaro?

  It's, it's a real toss up with what's going on and the food going into our bodies, but.

• 5:07Mae Martin?

  What level of ripeness of banana are you working with?

• 5:11Tig Notaro?

  Oh, well, it's my understanding that the less ripe, the healthier the banana, and the better that it helps absorb other nutrients for, um, other foods that you eat. So I'll go, I'll, I'll have some green on the yellow.

• 5:30Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 5:30Tig Notaro?

  For sure.

• 5:31Mae Martin?

  I, I really don't trust people who like very ripe bananas.

• 5:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, like when it's mushy?

• 5:37Mae Martin?

  Yeah, or just like brown speckled all over the,

• 5:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:41Mae Martin?

  That's a whole other flavor.

• 5:43Tig Notaro?

  Well, and you know, if you see a banana that has green on it with some speckly as well,

• 5:50Mae Martin?

  Hmm.

• 5:50Tig Notaro?

  that hasn't naturally ripened.

• 5:54Mae Martin?

  I see.

• 5:55Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, they've used, um, technology to ripen the banana. So steer clear of those.

• 6:02Mae Martin?

  No, I like like a slightly green banana for refreshing. Um, a mild banana flavor. Yeah.

• 6:09Tig Notaro?

  But you need a mushy banana for banana bread and,

• 6:13Mae Martin?

  Absolutely.

• 6:14Tig Notaro?

  And I feel like I'm a little more flexible with, um, smoothie bananas.

• 6:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah, sure, sure, sure.

• 6:22Tig Notaro?

  But I, I never like, uh, I remember my mother would be, you know, when there would be like little bruising on the banana, she'd be like, oh, that's the sweet part. And it still never tricked me. I was like, well, you can have that.

• 6:35Mae Martin?

  I know. And then they asked for my rider when I was on tour, like, what do you want in the green room? And then I felt like such an asshole, being like bananas, but slightly green. Like, I don't want ripe bananas.

• 6:49Tig Notaro?

  And you say bananas, like you sit down before, after a show and have more than one?

• 6:53Mae Martin?

  Well, there's, you know, I had band, bandmates.

• 6:56Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yes.

• 6:57Mae Martin?

  But yeah, I would normally have one before, one after.

• 7:00Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm. Okay.

• 7:01Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 7:02Tig Notaro?

  Good. Good for you, May.

• 7:04Mae Martin?

  Thank you. You gotta splash out.

• 7:06Tig Notaro?

  What?

• 7:07Mae Martin?

  You have to splash out in life. You gotta treat yourself.

• 7:09Tig Notaro?

  Splash out? I haven't even heard that before.

• 7:12Mae Martin?

  Splash out?

• 7:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 7:14Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 7:15Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Thomas, have you heard splash out?

• 7:17Speaker 04

  I have never heard that. That sounds maybe like a British thing.

• 7:21Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 7:23Tig Notaro?

  I mean, I'm picturing you, of course, like doing a cannonball into a pool and splashing like in a celebratory way.

• 7:30Mae Martin?

  Like splurge. You know, splurge.

• 7:32Tig Notaro?

  Sure, I've heard that.

• 7:33Mae Martin?

  Okay, so.

• 7:34Tig Notaro?

  Nobody's told me to splash out in life, but you think I'm not gonna start? I mean, I feel like I splash out in certain ways in life, but I really like this.

• 7:46Mae Martin?

  When you tread water, you're splashing out in a way. But no, splashing out is like, yeah, just, just treating yourself, I think.

• 7:53Tig Notaro?

  Going for it.

• 7:55Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 7:55Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, all right.

• 7:56Mae Martin?

  Are you gonna, maybe try to splash out once today? And then let us, let me know.

• 8:02Tig Notaro?

  I don't know if I have room in my day for a splash out. Stephanie and I have to go to the notary to get some documents for Max and Finn notarized. Cause she's gonna be bringing them out of the country without me.

• 8:16Mae Martin?

  Whoa, so you have to go authorize that?

• 8:19Tig Notaro?

  I have to sign a paper saying that I approve Stephanie taking them.

• 8:26Tig Notaro?

  Over the border without me. I mean, hopefully they'll come back.

• 8:30Mae Martin?

  Hopefully.

• 8:31Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 8:32Mae Martin?

  I mean.

• 8:32Tig Notaro?

  I really hope.

• 8:33Mae Martin?

  Maybe you can, on the way back from the notary, splash out with like a nice coffee or something.

• 8:40Tig Notaro?

  Well, but I have a conference call right after the notary.

• 8:45Mae Martin?

  Oh, no.

• 8:46Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I mean, let me look at my calendar. So we're gonna go to the notary. You tell me where I can splash out.

• 8:53Mae Martin?

  Yeah, cuz maybe at the notary.

• 8:55Tig Notaro?

  Oh, I know where I can splash out. I haven't taken a bath yet today. So after the notary, I need to take a bath so I can just splash out in that.

• 9:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 9:04Tig Notaro?

  And then I have my call and then I have to start hair and makeup cuz, you know, I've got an awards show tonight.

• 9:11Mae Martin?

  Oh shit, what's the awards show?

• 9:13Tig Notaro?

  It's not gonna line up with when this comes out, but Stephanie and I were nominated for the movie Am I Okay? at the GLAD Awards.

• 9:22Mae Martin?

  Oh, the GLAD Awards, yeah, yeah. So like the way that you could make a, like, is there a way to make the bath a bit more luxurious than usual? Put a couple flower petals in there, a drop of-

• 9:31Tig Notaro?

  Maybe, but I'm not really, I don't want things floating around in my water.

• 9:36Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 9:36Tig Notaro?

  Now, I was asked to splash out in the outfit tonight with the tickets that they email. It says to make sure to add bright colors to your, to your outfit. And I was just planning on wearing black.

• 9:51Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's a little prescriptive.

• 9:53Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I, I don't listen to that stuff, you know, cuz in those moments, I always think, if I was Kurt Cobain or Slash.

• 10:01Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 10:01Tig Notaro?

  Are you, no, you're gonna put your top hat on, you're gonna put, put your raggedy jeans on, you're gonna, you're gonna go to the event. You're not gonna follow-

• 10:11Mae Martin?

  Totally.

• 10:12Tig Notaro?

  Any sort of rules about your wardrobe. I know.

• 10:16Speaker 04

  You should splash out at the event.

• 10:18Tig Notaro?

  Well, that's what I'm saying is like, well, splash out, you mean outside of my outfit?

• 10:23Mae Martin?

  Yeah, like, like splash out, like, um, like, you know, walk up to some celebrity that you admire and say, hey. That's not really splashing out. It's more like- Ask the waiter, say, I know that there's, you know, free wine on the tables, but I would actually love an espresso martini or something like that.

• 10:45Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay. All right. Without the

• 10:49Mae Martin?

  Alcohol.

• 10:49Tig Notaro?

  Or the espresso.

• 10:52Mae Martin?

  Yeah, decaf espresso martini with no alcohol.

• 10:57Tig Notaro?

  Drink. That'd be way splashed out. So that's even more than just an espresso martini. That is really the drink I cannot have is an espresso martini.

• 11:08Mae Martin?

  That would really mess you up.

• 11:10Tig Notaro?

  Oh, man, would I be leveled for weeks.

• 11:15Tig Notaro?

  That's so pathetic.

• 11:21Mae Martin?

  But that first hour would be electric.

• 11:24Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Well, speaking of electric, should we get to our question?

• 11:27Mae Martin?

  Yeah, let's do it.

• 11:28Tig Notaro?

  Let's do it.

• 11:29Speaker 05

  Hello, Handsoms. My name is Carla from Columbus, Ohio. Love your show. You all keep me company in the car a lot. And I love it. My question for you is, what is your favorite love story, either fictional and/or in real life?

• 11:48Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God, that's good.

• 11:51Tig Notaro?

  Yes. You know what?

• 11:53Mae Martin?

  You and Stephanie, that's, that's one of my faves in real life, you and Stephanie.

• 11:58Tig Notaro?

  Oh, that is so nice to hear.

• 12:02Mae Martin?

  And because I'd watched your documentary before even meeting you guys, I just was very invested.

• 12:07Tig Notaro?

  I was gonna say, I, I love my love story with Stephanie as well. I do, I do. I, I, yeah, I, I love it. And I hope we can maintain it forever and ever. Amen. I would say the love story that I love is Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.

• 12:32Mae Martin?

  Oh, I don't know about that one, really.

• 12:34Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay. I mean, these two, well, I mean, you know who Jimmy Carter is, huh?

• 12:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 12:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 12:41Mae Martin?

  But they were just obsessed with each other?

• 12:43Tig Notaro?

  I don't know. I, they just felt like a decent pairing of human beings that loved each other throughout the ages and they met. Oh, wow. The couple who met when Jimmy was three years old and Rosalind was a newborn.

• 13:01Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 13:03Tig Notaro?

  They wed on July 7, 1946 and were married for 77 years.

• 13:10Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 13:10Tig Notaro?

  And they were such, um, I don't know, just giving to the world and their community. And, um, when I, when I looked at, at them raising a family and going through the, the White House as the president and first lady and, um, and just staying so active in their lives. And I just, I, I'm so envious of 77 years. I mean, these people, they both lived to be like 100 years old.

• 13:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:45Tig Notaro?

  I mean, it's crazy. That's so appealing to me. So appealing.

• 13:50Mae Martin?

  I watched the, the Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward documentary. That was pretty beautiful. And they had their ups and downs and, you know.

• 13:58Tig Notaro?

  As you do.

• 13:59Mae Martin?

  Yeah. But, oh, man, like fictional, because they're all so sad, the fictional ones. It's all Romeo and Juliet and, you know, uh, we'll get back to you about that one. I don't know.

• 14:12Tig Notaro?

  I mean, even though I, I, I didn't, um, want this relationship, but I was very fascinated by the Sid and Nancy story.

• 14:21Mae Martin?

  Oh, yes, totally.

• 14:22Tig Notaro?

  Sucked in to that.

• 14:25Mae Martin?

  Yes. Yeah. Buffy and Angel for me as well. Like Buffy and Angel.

• 14:28Tig Notaro?

  What is that?

• 14:30Mae Martin?

  Oh, so Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then Angel. You thought it was one word, Buffy and Angel?

• 14:36Tig Notaro?

  No, I thought it was two people, but I just, I was like, I, I thought maybe it was like a real, not Real Housewives, but like, um, You know, where you pick your bride on TV, like The Bachelor or something. But anyway.

• 14:50Mae Martin?

  No, Buffy is a vampire slayer and Angel is a vampire who has been cursed with a soul by a group of traveling people who he ate a woman, basically, okay, so like 400 years ago, Angel ate this woman.

• 15:06Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, start from the beginning, please.

• 15:08Mae Martin?

  And Angel was a bad guy. He was a bad vampire and he ate this woman. And so.

• 15:14Tig Notaro?

  Named Angel?

• 15:16Mae Martin?

  Um, yeah. Isn't that ironic?

• 15:18Tig Notaro?

  Wow, yes.

• 15:19Mae Martin?

  And then he was cursed by her family to have a soul so that he had to feel the grief of what he'd done because he didn't have a soul before. And so then he was a good vampire for 400 years. And then he met, he met Buffy. But guess what, Tig?

• 15:33Tig Notaro?

  What, May?

• 15:34Mae Martin?

  Part of the curse was if he ever experienced a moment of pure joy, he would lose his soul again. So he couldn't come. He couldn't have an orgasm. So he meets Buffy and they fall in love and he's like this sweet, caring vampire who just drinks like cow's blood, you know, to get by.

• 15:54Tig Notaro?

  As you do.

• 15:55Mae Martin?

  As you do. And then, and then, of course, one night, they have sex. Buffy loses her virginity to him. She wakes up in the morning and he's evil. And this really warped my sense of relationships and sexuality. When I was a kid, I was like, if you have sex, the person will leave and never love you again. Cause he turned evil. But then, you know, he's back and forth across the series, evil, not evil, evil, not evil. But it was a very romantic and tortured tale.

• 16:23Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Wow. And that's good. You like, that's your story that.

• 16:29Mae Martin?

  Well, I just was deeply invested.

• 16:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's kind of your Sid and Nancy, I guess.

• 16:35Mae Martin?

  It's, they're my Sid and Nancy.

• 16:36Tig Notaro?

  Okay. All right. Well, should we hear what Carla has to say?

• 16:41Mae Martin?

  Yes, please.

• 16:42Tig Notaro?

  Carla from Columbus. I love Ohio, by the way.

• 16:45Speaker 05

  My fictional fave is Morticia and Gomez Adams. I love the way they love each other. My real life one is me and my person, Molly. We sat two seats away from each other in homeroom for all of high school and then took many, many years to find each other again at 45. So Molly, when you hear this, let me know if you would do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me.

• 17:10Tig Notaro?

  Thanks. What?

• 17:13Mae Martin?

  Oh my god.

• 17:16Tig Notaro?

  What is happening?

• 17:18Mae Martin?

  Carla, Molly.

• 17:20Tig Notaro?

  You snuck that in? I mean, I didn't even know what was happening and then now I have chills.

• 17:26Mae Martin?

  Me too. I just got chills too.

• 17:28Tig Notaro?

  That was delayed, your chills.

• 17:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I was, I had, you had to say.

• 17:33Tig Notaro?

  I was more invested. Carla and, is it Molly?

• 17:36Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 17:36Tig Notaro?

  Wow. I know a Molly in Ohio.

• 17:40Mae Martin?

  If it's the same Molly.

• 17:42Tig Notaro?

  No, I doubt it. Molly's my first girlfriend. So if it's Molly, Carla would know that and she would mention it. But wow. I, I hope that Molly says yes, Carla.

• 17:54Mae Martin?

  We're gonna need an update. Yeah.

• 17:56Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 17:57Mae Martin?

  God.

• 17:58Tig Notaro?

  Mind blown.

• 18:00Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's amazing to be a conduit for this proposal, to be a part of your love story. We're honored.

• 18:07Tig Notaro?

  Well done, Carla. And welcome to the family, Molly.

• 18:11Mae Martin?

  Very, very cool.

• 18:13Tig Notaro?

  All right. Well, gosh, can we even?

• 18:16Mae Martin?

  I don't know how we're gonna follow that.

• 18:18Tig Notaro?

  I don't know either. Do we do another question or we peace out there?

• 18:22Speaker 04

  We could do one more.

• 18:23Tig Notaro?

  Mr. Thomas says we do one more. So let's do one more.

• 18:26Speaker 06

  Hello, handsome. This is Melody from Oklahoma City. And my question for you guys is, what is a smell that will transport you back to a time in your childhood or teenage years? And it just brings back all the memories for you?

• 18:44Tig Notaro?

  Yes, I have it immediately.

• 18:46Mae Martin?

  Really? What is it?

• 18:47Tig Notaro?

  Coppertone sunscreen lotion.

• 18:51Mae Martin?

  Oh man, yeah, that thick, white sunscreen.

• 18:56Tig Notaro?

  Coppertone, Coppertone, Coppertone. I'm right back in Mississippi. Coppertone. What about you?

• 19:04Mae Martin?

  Oh man, that sounded like song lyrics. Coppertone, Coppertone, Coppertone. I'm right back in Mississippi, Coppertone.

• 19:10Tig Notaro?

  Well, write it for your next album.

• 19:14Mae Martin?

  I, for me, the first thing that came to mind was my, my grandma, in her kitchen, it smelled like sausages. She always had sausages in the fridge. And so.

• 19:24Tig Notaro?

  Grandma's sausages.

• 19:25Mae Martin?

  Grandma's sausages.

• 19:28Tig Notaro?

  In her problem area?

• 19:30Mae Martin?

  No, in her fridge. And it was a cold kitchen, always very cold and the smell of cold sausages in my grandma's kitchen.

• 19:43Tig Notaro?

  The smell of cold sausages in grandma's problem kitchen.

• 19:47Mae Martin?

  Yeah. You gotta write that song.

• 19:50Tig Notaro?

  You write it. You lived it.

• 19:52Mae Martin?

  I did live it.

• 19:53Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 19:54Mae Martin?

  What else? Like, I mean, cigarettes, kind of, because my parents both smoked in the house and then.

• 19:59Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh, yeah. My parents smoked not only in the house, but in the car with the windows rolled up. And if we complained about it, which my brother did, I mean, I already smoked, so I couldn't, you know, really complain. But my brother would complain. And I remember my stepfather, when my brother would be like, can we roll down the window? Rick would be like, no.

• 20:20Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. Rick.

• 20:23Tig Notaro?

  Because we had the air conditioner on in the car, so nobody knew yet that we were being killed.

• 20:30Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. Also, peanut butter cookies baking, that's my only memory of my mom's mom, really. She died when I was like two and I vividly remember so much about her house, even though I must have been two. Yeah, but I swear it's not from photos. It's like the smell of peanut butter cookies baking and then cinnamon hearts.

• 20:53Tig Notaro?

  Oh, peanut, okay. I was thinking of Nutter Butters. I was like, why were you baking your Nutter Butters?

• 20:58Mae Martin?

  Oh, wait, what's that? A Nutter Butter is like a vegan. Oh, a cookie, yeah.

• 21:03Tig Notaro?

  Well, it is vegan. It's one of those accidental vegans.

• 21:06Mae Martin?

  Right, right, right.

• 21:07Tig Notaro?

  Well, should we hear Melody's answer?

• 21:09Mae Martin?

  Yes, please.

• 21:10Speaker 06

  Mine is the smell of fresh coffee grounds and cigarettes. When we would go on vacation with my family and my grandma and my aunt, you know, everybody smoked back then and smoked everywhere.

• 21:28Mae Martin?

  But the combination of coffee and cigarette smoke reminds me of being a kid and watching my grandma and my aunt, my mom sit around and drink coffee and just talk about our plans for the day. So that's a smell that will always take me back to that Motel Six.

• 21:51Tig Notaro?

  Hmm.

• 21:52Mae Martin?

  Of my youth.

• 21:53Tig Notaro?

  Love it.

• 21:54Mae Martin?

  Thank you, guys. Have a good week.

• 21:56Tig Notaro?

  You too. Thank you, Melody.

• 21:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah, coffee, coffee grunts, that's pretty evocative.

• 22:03Tig Notaro?

  It is, but it just reminds me of every day now, you know?

• 22:08Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 22:09Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I don't, I don't always get to have copper toner on me.

• 22:15Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 22:15Tig Notaro?

  Well, that was fun.

• 22:16Mae Martin?

  That was fun. It's always lovely. I just can't get over the Carla proposal.

• 22:21Tig Notaro?

  I know, and how crazy if it was Molly following up right after, if it, if it hadn't been Melody. As soon as I heard, "My name is Mel," I was like, "Is this Molly?" But it was Melody.

• 22:34Mae Martin?

  I know, and I kind of, if I'd known that something that monumental was gonna come, I probably, we probably would have been a little more on point with our answer.

• 22:43Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, and I would have worn something different, rather than a

• 22:46Mae Martin?

  I would have worn a gown, yeah.

• 22:47Tig Notaro?

  A little denim western shirt that I've had for 30 years, has holes all in it. Look at that. I've had this for so long.

• 22:55Mae Martin?

  That's perfect, though.

• 22:57Tig Notaro?

  It really is. I'm sure Molly and Carla, or is it Carla and Molly?

• 23:03Mae Martin?

  It's, I mean.

• 23:05Tig Notaro?

  I don't know. We don't know these people, but I can't wait for their wedding.

• 23:09Mae Martin?

  Same, I'll go.

• 23:10Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 23:11Mae Martin?

  You love Ohio, you already said it.

• 23:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I do. I love Ohio, and I'm open to them hiring me to officiate their wedding. I've done that before and happy to do it again. So give me a ring-a-ding, and if the price is right, I'll be there.
