DeepSummary
The episode begins with Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin discussing suppositories and home remedies from their childhoods, including Fortune's grandmother frequently using suppositories as a cure-all and Mae's mother grating apples for her when she was sick. Tig Notaro chimes in about her experience with smoking from a very young age and how she wishes she could go back in time to prevent herself from ever starting.
The hosts then discuss Conan O'Brien's question about what one thing they would go back and stop from happening. Mae considers preventing the extinction of dinosaurs, while Tig laments the industrial revolution's impact on pollution. Fortune entertains stopping the COVID-19 pandemic but ultimately settles on wishing she had eaten more fruits and vegetables as a child.
After listening to Conan's answer about wanting to stop the creation of compact discs to avoid wasting money re-buying albums, the conversation shifts to reminiscing about the joys of CD booklets, listening to full albums, and making comedy mixtapes.
