Checking Allstate First could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking the depth of the hot tub before getting in? Oh no! It's about a foot too shallow and now the upper half of my body is shivering in the cold air.

And I'm one of your hosts, Mae Martin, joined by... Tig Notaro.

54.183 - 67.838 Unknown

How are you, Mae? I'm well, thank you. How are you? I'm good. I'm curious. Yeah, I was just thinking, like, you've been on your bus for a while. And maybe it's driving you a little cuckoo.

67.818 - 71.805 Mae Martin

Yeah, a little kookily dookily. Things are getting weird, yeah.

72.166 - 79.88 Unknown

So what do you do to fill your day? Like today, what is on the docket for Mae Martin today on a bus tour?

80.2 - 96.343 Mae Martin

Thanks for asking, Tig. Well, today I didn't plan anything. I'll probably go for a walk and then... I slept from maybe 5 a.m. to 11, and then I wake up, I have a coffee, and now I'm podcasting, go for a walk, go to the venue.

96.363 - 120.751 Mae Martin

But yesterday I was in Concord, New Hampshire, and I found an arcade, and me and Matt, who's touring with me, went to the arcade, and we were the only people in the entire arcade. And then we did laser tag, and we were the only people in the whole laser tag arena. So it was just me and my friend hunting each other through this maze. Wow. And I won every round. It brought out a dark part of me.

Chapter 2: What activities does Mae Martin engage in during her bus tour?

273.136 - 279.984 Mae Martin

Yeah. So it's cathartic. Anyone like put it on your house and just sing along, but I'm going to keep singing it.

280.444 - 283.247 Unknown

How many songs do you do at the end of your show?

0

283.888 - 301.388 Mae Martin

If I'm doing a double show day, then I'll do three. But if I'm, I'm really enjoying it, the song, the music part, probably more than anything. And sometimes I do five. I'll do like one of mine and maybe an Elliot Smith song and maybe Martha Wainwright or

301.368 - 304.341 Unknown

And how long is your stand-up set?

0

304.523 - 318.042 Mae Martin

So I do about 50 minutes, then an intermission, then improv with Matt, and then music. You do an intermission? I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for this live. I didn't, yeah, but I do do an intermission.

318.062 - 325.933 Unknown

Who's telling you to do an intermission? I don't know. The venues, I guess, to sell drinks. Wow, I have not run into that, except in Europe.

326.413 - 352.523 Mae Martin

I think the way you tour is the way I will be touring, which is like no intermission, no meet and greets. Not that I'm not loving the meet and greets, but it is like the thing that's pushing me over the edge, I think, into madness. Yeah. Because it's like a whole other act of the show. You know, it's another 45 minutes and I love meeting everyone, but it's like, yeah, it's tiring.

353.024 - 353.705 Unknown

Yeah.

354.126 - 356.991 Mae Martin

Anyway, I'm very grateful and humble and lucky. Yeah.

Chapter 3: How does Mae feel about competitive games like laser tag?

437.814 - 460.38 Tig Notaro

It's like a five second window that I would be seeing this. And I, I, it happened to me like two days in a row. And it didn't happen Wednesday or again today, but, like, that means something, right? Like, what? Help me out. May, tell me what that means. I love the pod. Thanks so much, guys.

That was perfect timing because you were nodding your head like, yes, let me take this. Let me take this.

468.358 - 484.145 Mae Martin

And then she's like... Well, okay, eagles are very symbolic of a lot of things. And that is wild that you would happen to look up in that little window. I mean, maybe that eagle lives around there. But... Let's see. I've Googled.

484.245 - 504.43 Mae Martin

A powerful symbol of freedom, strength, perspective, divine connection signifies a need to rise above challenges and gain a higher perspective and embrace personal growth or new beginnings. I think it's a very positive sign. It says eagle flying overhead is a sign of encouragement to rise above challenges.

505.111 - 505.812 Unknown

Hmm.

506.112 - 515.968 Mae Martin

Wow. I saw one in Big Bear on a romantic weekend. I saw a golden eagle flying in circles above me.

516.469 - 518.653 Unknown

And what came of that?

520.756 - 526.045 Mae Martin

Well, we broke up pretty soon after, but now things are looking good, so...
