Chapter 2: How do Tig and Mae feel about adjusting to life off the road?
Catching up.
Related to be catching up.
How are you adjusting to being off the road?
Oh, man, I'm still going through all the stuff that people gave me. And it is wild. And like 99% of it is so sweet and amazing. Yeah. Every once in a while, I get something a little unsettling or that gets under my skin. Like what? Well, Tig, I got this. And I don't know, if someone's listening who made this, I think the intention. They for sure are.
If they gave you something, they're for sure, they're listening. Oh, then I feel bad. But it was strange.

Chapter 3: What strange gift did Mae receive that sparked a discussion?
It was a puzzle. So it was like this sealed, very like escape roomy puzzle that needed a code. And it came with a written clue that was like the code. It's an eight letter word. It's something meaningful to you. And then the clue was like the state of Georgia was one of the first states to like something about civil rights or something. Anyway, so I sat with it for a long time.
I was like, this is very whimsical and enthralling to me. Then I cracked it. It was feel good because George and Georgia, there's a character called George. So I put feel good in, I open it up and it's another puzzle and it's two little things. And, but then this clue was quite strange.
It was like, I was like, I haven't, I'm not a big fan of yours, but it said, I, it was like, I'm not really a devoted fan, but I know you used to do drugs. And this clue is about all the things you were running from or trying to suppress by self-medicating with drugs.
First of all, can you imagine the gift that would have been given if they were a massive fan?
Yes. So I was like, that's a little personal and a little flippant, but also maybe that, you know, People are, you know, and maybe they like the show Feel Good. I don't know. But then I open up these little things that are inside the puzzle, and there's fake cigarettes and fake joints. And I unroll them all, and the joints are made out of biblical passages from St.
Paul's letters to the Ephesians, which is like, man should not lie with another man as he would with a woman. You should not drink wine. It's like the most kind of evangelical... strict stuff. So I'm like, oh, I feel a little uneasy about that. I taped them all together because it's kind of a puzzle. And on the back of it, once I tape it together, it's like addict, shame, regret, trauma.
And I'm like, oh, boy. So at that point, I'm like, oh, wow, I don't know what the intention is here.

Chapter 4: How do Tig and Mae define adulthood in their lives?
Yeah. And then there's another letter in code. And so I decoded that. And also the whole time I'm like, should I just stop doing this? But I can't because I love a puzzle. Sure. Oh my God.
Do you know how quickly that would have been in the trash for me?
But they went to so much trouble, but it was sort of in bad taste because I was like, I now have this jar of fake joints made out of Bible passages. You know what I mean? But listen, and then also in their letter, they were like, this probably wasn't received well or something. So it was like, they knew that I was going to be unsettled by it.
But that's sort of, I've been spending a lot of time going through the 99% of the things are so thoughtful and amazing. And this was very thoughtful, very thoughtful.
Chapter 5: What are the common goofs in movies and TV that Tig and Mae notice?
Yeah. It was sort of eerie as well. Yeah. Yeah.
All it does is remind me of how much I hate a game and a puzzle.
Really?
Yeah.
I loved the puzzle element of it, but it was just seeing addict in big letters. Because it was like all of these things that you're running from, they add up to one thing. And the answer was addict. And I was like, okay, anyway, on with my day.
Moving on to my dream catchers.
Yeah, yeah. But it was, it's nice being off tour. But I do sort of, I'm now daydreaming about how I would do it next time.

Chapter 6: How do Tig and Mae feel about the pressures of social media?
How you would do your tour next?
Yeah, what I would change about it. What would you change? Everything. No, I just would maybe... No bus. I think I might do bus again, you know, but I would just do shorter stints with long breaks in between. Because there is something nice about feeling like you're camping out with your friends.
Mm-hmm.
But yeah, I wouldn't be doing weeks at a time on the bus for sure. I would just do like long weekends or something.
I can't imagine like the trouble I have sleeping when I travel now. If I were on a bus, I feel like I'd be camping. I know. And there are these... friends of mine that I ran into who are the wives of old friends of mine from the comedy world.

Chapter 7: What insights do Tig and Mae share about authenticity in entertainment?
And it was interesting because I've also, I've had some like really hard, stressful work things going on, like overwhelmingly hard, stressful. Oh, yes. We need to catch up off pod. I need to hear all this, but. It's just, it's producer things that I'm just like, I don't know that I can, I don't know that I have the nervous system for these kind of things.
Yes, this like logistical juggling.
Just business, business, business stuff. Anyway, and it's, it's hard. Why was I saying that? Oh, you bumped into the wives of old friends of yours.
Yeah.
And okay, thanks. And we all missed, we happened to be on a flight. We missed our connecting flight. We were delayed.

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do Tig and Mae leave with their listeners?
We were on the tarmac. We were seated by each other. We had such a carefree, it could have been hell, right? But we had this fun, carefree, connecting time in our delayed flight and like laughing and not talking about anything entertainment related, just silliness. And they laughed.
have this yearly camping trip they do with this group of, of women, you know, it's like 15 women that go and they were, they kept saying like, you need to join us, you and Stephanie. And I was like, well, first of all, Stephanie will never camp anywhere. That's not going to happen. It will never happen.
And I was like, I was sitting there thinking like, I would love to do that, but I don't know if I could sleep. I don't know if I could sleep if I was camping. But the joy that they were experiencing, and they do it every year, and the laughs I was having with them, it was so nice.
Maybe it would be worth a couple of nights of camping. No, but sleep is so precious. And then don't you find, like, I really found this on tour and you must find it all the time because you struggle to sleep. Like people, their empathy runs out for it. Like they sort of lose and you're like, I can't explain really that I haven't slept more than four hours for a week. And it's, I feel crazy.
And people are like, oh yeah, sleeping's hard. And you're like, you don't get it. Like, I know I look fine, but I'm hanging on by a thread. Like it makes you so emotional.
And you're expected to... Learn like when I'm touring and then I'm also working up to filming something and I'm having to learn lines and I'm traveling and I'm on different time zones and I haven't slept and I have these zooms about production stuff. That's so stressful. I'm like at a party or a taping or on stage. Like I, I'm giving it all I've got, but I'm struggling.
I'm struggling. Yeah, but my mind is fracturing.
Yeah, you're like deeply fractured. I'm here on three hours and I'm doing my best. I'm doing my best. And also, meanwhile, I've got a great life. And I really don't want to complain because I'm a lucky, lucky ducky.
Yeah, I feel that too. But also you're just one little body, you know?
