I'm Tig. I'm sorry, I cut you off. No, it's alright. People technically probably know who I am if they're listening to this. I don't know. This might be their first time, and this is a weird way to get to know the show. But if this is your first time, we do have full length episodes with all three hosts, but these pretty little episodes, sometimes or two of us, maybe it's three of us. It's never just one or zero of us, would you agree?

Zero would be hard. It'd be very hard. But yeah, I haven't done one of these in a while, so I'm a little off my game, and that's why I came in and interrupted you. Well, you look amazing. You look like a pretty little lady. Do I? Yeah. Well, this pretty little lady got up at four this morning. I'm still trying to regulate my sleep out here, and it's not going well, fortune.

So you woke up involuntarily at four. Yes. Why do I wake and just why do I couldn't go back to sleep? No, I did my deep breathing exercises that didn't help. And then I finally just got up and I was like, okay, let's get the day started. And so here we go. Do you have trouble sleeping at all? I only have trouble sleeping if I have like a really early flight, like when I'm on tour, and I know I have to get up in a couple hours. My body has a hard time just shutting down.

Yeah, but on the reg, I would say I'm pretty pretty good sleeper. I used to be. I used to be. I give anything anyway. And then it just shifted one day. Yeah, I think it's menopause stuff. Yeah. So people always get surprised, you know, when you look the way I do that, you know, yeah, I still go through menopause. Sorry. Because you got rid of those dumpster tits. Yeah, I got dumpster tits. If you heard our last live stream, you know what we're talking about.

That was so fun. That live stream. Yeah, that audience was off the charts. Yeah, we came out on stage and it was like, holy cow. It was such a cool vibe in there. Yeah, for sure. And then fortune, you're wrapping up your Toronto day soon, huh? Yeah, I'm pretty much done here shortly. I was thinking that we were all going to be on the same schedule out here. It was looking like that. Yeah, Star Trek got pushed so far. Yeah, I'm going to be the straggler, leaving last.

Oh, miss you. Maybe maybe you'll be home at the holidays. Maybe, maybe. So we can come kiss you under the mistletoe. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Oh, we got some questions from our pre-low listeners. And let's get to it. I can't wait. Okay. This question is from BAS. BAS. Hello. I am submitting this question again because I sent it before answering it for myself.

My question is, what would you rather if you had the choice between being 10% hotter, like physically attractive in whatever way that looks to you or being 10% smarter? Hmm. BAS. I like that BAS started his question with a... Yeah, sorry to put you out, BAS. I think it's because he had to redo his question, but still it was funny just to start with... Here's my question. I'm very curious what you have to say about this fortune. Do you have any questions?

This is hard because God, well, I mean, I would feel bad for the world if I was 10% hotter, because it's already pretty up there. Yeah. Stammering hot. This would just kind of blow people's minds like, I didn't think this was possible. And I'm like, yeah, enjoy it. I don't know. I don't think that... I don't want to... I'm always kind of going to be the goofy person. My personality was. So if I was hotter, I don't think the two would fit.

I mean, I'm able to do it. This is true. I would have to learn... Teach me your ways. You know, like when you see a hot girl that's like quirky, it's like... You're like, oh, she... Good for her. Wait, are you saying you're not really into it? You don't like a hot quirky girl? I mean, everyone loves a hot quirky girl, but... I think it would shift my comedy too much.

People would be too distracted by my beauty. Wait, I want to revisit the hot quirky girl, because I've known quite a few hot quirky girls on this planet. And when you think... I love that combination. Yeah. I love it as a person in everyday life. Like, who doesn't like a hot girl with personality? It was starting to sound like you didn't. No, I meant in terms of... I've set it up wrong. I meant in terms of like my profession comedy.

Okay. Like, I think it would affect my comedy too much, and I don't want that. 10%! I'm already so high up there. We're talking 10%. I have to go 10% smarter. Even though that too is pretty high up there. I would want to be 10% smarter, because I think, again, it all goes back to my career. I feel like I'm already married. Jack likes me as I am, which is lucky me. So she'd probably prefer me to be 10% smarter than 10% hotter, I think. What would you want from her? 10% smarter than 10% hotter?

I think she's already hot, so I don't need her. But 10%. I mean, you're obviously already hot. I'm not gonna mess. Okay, then you need to be 10% hotter or smarter. Exactly. So yeah, 10% smarter, so I don't have to use my tip calculator. Things just are a little easier. Wait, you use a tip calculator? Yeah, I know. 10% or do you? I do 20% sometimes more. That's when I need a tip calculator. I can do the 20% plus. Can you do the 20? 10% times two.

I think it would just help with writing and it would help with remembering things. I want to be 10% smarter. I'm hot enough. Oh, you're hot enough. Take old bitties? Garbage tits. I for sure would go with 10% smarter because same married. In fact, right before we got on the Zoom, when I was talking to Stephanie, she truly said she feels 1 million percent confident in her feelings for me. Of course, I assume she did. It's always nice to hear that. What made her say that did something happen?

No, no, we were just talking about different people in relationships and life. She was just like, I am so happy that I found you. Was that kind of conversation? I think also being somebody that failed three grades and dropped out and walking around with a seventh grade education. I know I'm smart, but I think what I would love to have is more knowledge that people have from school. Because there's stuff where I just have to go either completely silent or I'm just like, what's that?

When did that happen? Who is that person? Oh, I didn't know that. I really, there is so much stuff I just do not know. But I feel like I'm very street smart. I've had a lot of experiences in life. I love to have more knowledge. I guess I could just read books. Who else I do that? I don't know that I want to lie around in bed at night reading history books. Geometry books. But yeah, I don't know if that's smarter, but have more knowledge.

I think people kind of assume I'm a little bit of a dumb dumb sometimes because I um, you know, my personality is very silly and I kind of play a little bit of the dude to do sometimes. But I mean, I did graduate summa cum laude from college. I don't even know what that is. I've heard of it. It's the highest one in college. It's like 3.9 GPA or higher. Wow, look at you. So I'm not a dumb dumb. I definitely am smart, but I am not great with math as we've chatted about.

So I'm definitely a dumb dumb with math. But yeah, I think um, knowledge, there's, you're never not done learning. Of course. To be smarter, 10%, even 10% is a drop in the bucket. I think that would be nice to have a little bit more. Yeah, I would just love to have the basics for when people are talking about stuff. And I would have to be like, oh, I don't know this. I'm gonna listen to, I'm gonna listen up right here. I was a closet nerd. I was like very social and out and about.

No one thought I like studied or cared. And then I would go into my room at like midnight and study like for like four hours. Oh my gosh. And, uh, and I remember when I graduated and they said summa cum laude. My mom was sitting around with people that went really? Really? Really? We're all busy these days. If you're a homeowner, you're extra busy. So you're looking for ways to save time and save money.

We here at Handsome want to remind you that all state makes it easy to switch your home insurance policy and save money doing it. Check all state first and you could save $574 on your home insurance. No hassle, just savings. You're in good hands with all state. Not available in every state based on the national average annual savings for new home insurance customers surveyed in 2023 who switched all state and reported savings. Savings vary. But wait, you. Oh, I see.

I was the graduation's bigger. So they had just seen me do this funny silly speech. Yeah. Then I got that. But I was a closet nerd. And homosexual. And homosexual that didn't know. Yeah. Let's hear bads his answer. For me, um, I'd like to think I'd choose to be 10% smada. But I think I'm already in and decently like, you know, smart enough person. I don't think I need to be any smarter to survive in this world. So I definitely choose to be 10% hotter. HOTTA. Thank you. Love you guys.

Send in a picture, BAS. Yeah, really. Well, thank you, BAS for submitting a question. Let's hear what another pre-low listener has to ask. My name is Meg Winter and I am recently married. My wife is incredible. But my question is still, how do you keep that spark alive when you are married or in a relationship over an extended period of time? That's a good question. We kind of dipped our toe into that. Yeah, I'm a little concerned that she's already asking how to keep the spark alive.

She just kind of hearing. You don't even start thinking about that. That's like six years in. Yeah, I have to say when I went to Thomas's wedding, I think things like that really kind of kick you in gear. And yeah, I just feel like weddings just like really help you connect with those. Not that I'm not connected to it, but it really reinvigorates things. Yeah, where you, I don't, do you know what I'm saying? There's plenty of other things that you love, Stephanie.

That doesn't waver, but there are certain moments where love is the focus, where you just appreciate your person even more. And you think, yeah, I'm so happy. Like you said, like Stephanie saying like a life thing can happen and it makes you go, thank God I'm with my person. I think it's also, I think it's good to, I know people talk about this, but I try to do this. It's to practice gratitude. Just Stephanie is a mother that's so attractive.

I mean, I know she makes always the best decisions and she's so responsible with our children. There's never like a fear of why did you do that? Yeah, or like safety or inappropriateness or anything like that. It's like 100%. But I think practicing gratitude is really helpful in keeping things sparked. Yeah, yeah, what about you? Yeah, I mean Jackson, I've been together nine years. This is by a mile and many, many miles, my longest relationship. So I had to kind of learn a lot of this as I went.

I didn't have like a longer relationship to learn from as far as how to keep the spark alive or any of that stuff. I mean, there's no way to be in a relationship for many, many years and not have sometimes where you guys are like frustrating each other a little bit more. Maybe you're not like going on dates as much as and the love doesn't waver, but you're just like busy and you're not like focusing as much as you can.

Then you'll kind of, you know, didn't you'll get out of that space, hopefully. I think if you just focus on each other a little bit more, I have to really be aware of like, okay? You've been working a ton. You're like so focused on so many plates spinning in the air. You can't neglect the most important part of your life. Like this has to be a priority. And I do have to, because I'm such a workhorse that I definitely have to like get out of my way in that way.

So just sort of checking yourself if you are a fellow workhorse to be like, like let's have some date nights. Let's physical touch. Let's cuddle. Because you do kind of take some of that stuff for granted when you just love each other and you know you're with your person, you can't kind of take that like dating part of relationships for granted. Yeah, as far as dating, I think it's also really good to to surprise each other.

And I'll do that for Stephanie like with a present or like an experience or both. You know, flowers for no good reason or an experience like, oh, I made reservations here or. Yeah, I called your mother to see if she could watch Max and Finn and we're going to go here for the weekend or anything like that. And of course, it's not every week.

Yeah, that's a good one for sure. And I would say like Jack really appreciates it because you know there's certain things she has to kind of nag me about like can you just do this. And I will like just sort of like clean stuff around the house like cleaning was. And then like, are you not tidy? I'm tidy, but I'm not like her. She's like scrubbing stuff down. She's like, can you just or I'll like leave stuff in the sink, but I will I always put it away.

But like not in that moment. You know what I mean? Yeah. And when I do finally do what she's been asking, she appreciates it so much. So trying to like hear your partner and adjust when you can. They want to people want to feel like they're being heard in a relationship. And but the beauty of what I like about being married is even if we have like a little tip or something, I'm never worried that like that's it. You know hands. I'm done with this. Right.

I'm like, I'll talk to my wife and you know, like here in Toronto. I'll we'll talk in the morning. It'll be fine. And I like that like piece of knowing like that's my person. We love each other. And yeah, we're gonna work it out. Yeah, I don't know if I've mentioned this on this podcast or not, but one of my my favorite things and one of Stephanie's favorite things that Esther Peral has said. Is again, maybe I've said this, but we're saying it again. Yeah. That with the issue of trust.

It can be used as like almost a threat of like I trusted you. Right. Right. Yeah. Whereas Esther Peral said it should be more like I trust. I know that you're gonna hurt me. I know you're gonna disappoint me. But I trust that we're gonna get through that. That's that's actually where the trust comes in that as humans, you're gonna falter. You're gonna make massive mistakes. You're gonna fumble through so many things terribly make bad decisions here and there.

And the trust has to come in that yes, you fumbled as a human. We fumbled as a couple. But I trust that we'll get through that. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Well, let's hear my ex answer by just being really honest with each other and trying new things. And recently we've started a new bedtime routine where we meditate half an hour before we go to bed and talk about what those meditations might have brought up for us. Nice.

It was great. Well, we wish you all the best and congrats on your marriage. May it be long and prosperous. Yes, indeed. This was fun, Tig. Yes, it was.
