Checking Allstate First could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking for critters when I turn on the outside patio light at night? My bad, guys. There was a little family of raccoons enjoying my outdoor furniture, and now I feel really bad for disturbing them.
Tig Notaro 0:19
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.

Hi, and it's your friend Mae as well.
Fortune Feimster 0:51
Yeah, and we're here on the pretty little episode of The Handsome Pod, just catching up.

How do Tig and Mae feel about adjusting to life off the road?

Fortune Feimster 0:57
Catching up.
Mae Martin 0:58
Related to be catching up.
Fortune Feimster 1:00
How are you adjusting to being off the road?
Mae Martin 1:04
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.

What strange gift did Mae receive that sparked a discussion?

Mae Martin 1:38
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.
Mae Martin 2:33
And this clue is about all the things you were running from or trying to suppress by self-medicating with drugs.
Fortune Feimster 2:41
First of all, can you imagine the gift that would have been given if they were a massive fan?
Mae Martin 2:49
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.
Mae Martin 3:40
And I'm like, oh, boy. So at that point, I'm like, oh, wow, I don't know what the intention is here.

How do Tig and Mae define adulthood in their lives?

Mae Martin 3:47
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.
Fortune Feimster 4:00
Do you know how quickly that would have been in the trash for me?
Mae Martin 4:04
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.

What are the common goofs in movies and TV that Tig and Mae notice?

Mae Martin 4:34
Yeah. It was sort of eerie as well. Yeah. Yeah.
Fortune Feimster 4:39
All it does is remind me of how much I hate a game and a puzzle.
