Summary

Tig’s guest is podcast phenomenon and comedian Marc Maron. He talks about going vegan, finding humor in dark issues, and how he’s learned to make interviews not just about himself. Tig and Marc give advice to a woman on what photo to post on her dating profile, encourage a young listener who wants to be the class clown but is falling flat, and help a fan who asks them to name her new variety of tomato which — get this — happens to be fuzzy!
