How do Mae and Tig introduce this Pretty Little Episode and opening ads?

Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking the ground before I get down and do some push-ups? Kind of gross. I pride myself on my daily push-ups, but I didn't realize how dusty it was getting down here. Guess I'm doing some cleaning after this.
Yeah, checking first is handsome, so check Allstate first for an auto quote. It could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Potential savings vary subject to terms, conditions, and availability. Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.
Pretty little episode.
Hi, it's your friend Tig Notaro on a pretty little episode. And I'm here with my co-host... Mae Martin. Hello, Mae Martin. What's on your shirt?
Oh, Toronto Blue Jays. Oh, yes, yes. Of course. I'm a real fair weather fan. I know nothing about baseball, but... It's a good shirt. It's a great shirt. And my knowledge of them is like from the 90s when Joe Carter was our star batter. Joe Carter? Joe Carter. What a guy. He was so hot. And we won the World Series 92 and 93.
Okay.
That's where I stopped. Yeah. How are you, Tig?
Good.
I'm doing all right. You know, just vacationing.
You're switched off. Are you off grid? How's being off all social media?
Oh, it's dynamic. Thanks for asking. Yeah, I'm off social media. I think that there's, I mean, my assistant still, you know, posts things, I think, on Facebook for my shows and stuff. There is some chatter about maybe I should have Instagram still where my assistant can post on there too.
Right.
But you wouldn't have access. Yeah. I don't even to this day. Like, yeah. But I think I told you it doesn't even cross my mind. Wow. It doesn't. I thought it was going to be like, I'd have this burning curiosity.
Yeah. Or withdrawal period or yeah.
I know there are first few days where I had the habit of like, oh, let's see what people are up to. And yeah, but. Now it just doesn't even cross my mind. And I don't carry my phone with me anymore. I just have an Apple Watch. And I have such terrible eyesight, as you know, that the text is so small that I oftentimes, if I don't have my glasses on, I don't know what anybody has communicated to me. And then I just go about my life.
God, that's nice. Look, if it's super important, it'll get to you. But yeah, to be able to just go, well, I got a text, I guess, and then move on.
And there's a lot of terribly unimportant stuff that reaches me. Terribly, yeah. Terribly unimportant. But yeah, I'm just trying to really get... And I think I'm doing it. Like, get very focused. I'm not a perfect person. I do want to always reiterate that. But I'm kind of proud of myself.
Yeah. And it's like none of us signed up for this life where we're reachable all the time. Like, it just slowly happened that, you know, you can be. And 24 hours a day, people know that you got your phone and you should be responding to them. But we didn't sign up for that. No. That's not how humans are meant to operate.
I know I'll sometimes get emails where it's like time sensitive and it's like, whoa, you're just assuming I checked my email. Yeah. You know, like, like truly it's just like robotically time sensitive. We need to hear from you by tomorrow. And I'm like, yeah, good God.
I know. I know. Well, you're, you're training. your life to slow down to the pace that you want and to streamline.
Well, yeah, I just don't want a lot of riffraff coming at me. You know, I want to have the close, important people in my life. I have different relationships with different people and we maintain them in different ways. whether it's as pen pals or we meet in person or we have a dinner regularly or whatever it is. And I just, I don't know, it feels really good. And again, I always want to mention, I could be TikTok Tig tomorrow. But so far, three months in,
What do Tig and Mae say about Tig going off social media and using an Apple Watch?
I'm really digging it, especially making the leap to an Apple Watch. And I have the kind where you don't have to carry your phone with you for the Apple Watch to work. I can just be without my phone.
That's great. I think I mean, I got my brick going.
