So we sent you out with a couple to look for a dream couch,
and I think it went really well.
Do you?
Yeah, I do.
OK.
Let's take a look.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Hi, I'm Tig Notaro.
You might know me from my TV show, "One Mississippi,"
or from the title card they just put up.
Today, I'm going to help a couple find their dream couch.
It's similar to "House Hunters," but with a very,
very, very, very, very small budget.
I told them to meet me here.
Hi, I'm Tig.
Hi.
Who are you?
I'm Erica.
Justin.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Erica Hernandez.
I'm Justin Hernandez.
And we're looking for a new couch.
So this couch, it's really worn.
It's a bachelor couch that I had when I was single.
There's like, worn stains, like someone's head has been
sitting there for a long time.
My head.
[LAUGHTER]
What do you want in a new couch?
Something that's going to be comfortable, for sure.
Yeah, something that holds my beverage.
Ooh.
Something that's durable for the kids.
How many seats do you want?
I mean, there's four of us in the house.
And then our--
So three?
--dog.
No?
No, no.
You want the whole family to sit down?
You want the dog to have a seat?
Yes!
Five seats.
What if you have company over?
I was thinking six.
Do you want-- oh, you only invite one person over
at a time.
[LAUGHTER]
No.
A couple people is good.
So seven?
You want to seat seven people on one couch.
Sure.
OK.
I feel like I know exactly what you're looking for.
And in unrelated news, I just drew this.
[LAUGHTER]
Nice.
Maybe we can have this framed and hanging above your couch.
[LAUGHTER]
Now I've done a lot of research, and I've
picked out three couches that I think will fit in your budget.
How I found these couches is I went on Craigslist,
and I typed in couch.
[LAUGHTER]
This area has a lot of good couches.
Wait, wait, there's one.
There's one.
Wait you're-- somebody else is going to get it.
Go back.
Go back!
Hi!
[LAUGHTER]
There she is.
Need we continue looking at this point?
Do you want to sit down and see--
Not really.
We didn't think we would be looking at couches
in the middle of the street.
Yeah, it kind of smells.
It has a weird smell to it.
I feel like they really liked that couch.
I can't believe they sat on it, though.
Very dirty.
[LAUGHTER]
Gross.
If this is the style you're looking for,
I'm happy to just wrap it up and head home.
I have babies that I need to deal with.
Or if you--
I feel like Tig is trying to push us towards a couch
as soon as possible so we can get this done.
Guys, I can hear what you're saying about me.
[LAUGHTER]
I'm sorry.
It's all right, it's just I am standing right here.
OK.
I mean, we like the couch, kind of.
Do you like me?
Very much so.
I like Tig a lot.
Yeah, actually, she's very cool.
Thanks.
Very fun.
Thank you.
Is this it?
This is the couch.
Wow!
This is nice.
Let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
And then you have your drink holders.
Right.
I know, dreams do come true.
[LAUGHTER]
Can you tell us more about the couch?
We watch a lot of shows right here.
OK.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
So a lot of the show and magic happened right here.
This is where--
Magic happens here.
Yes.
Yeah, not the kind of magic that--
Magic?
Well, you know that saying, this is where the magic happens.
Not that magic.
OK.
I don't know about the quality of conversation here, and--
You can't cover it up now with quality conversation.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
[LAUGHTER]
What did you think about that couch?
I don't have enough people in my life to fit on that couch.
[LAUGHTER]
Tell us about this couch.
We've been living here for about three years.
Where are we right now?
Just east of downtown Los Angeles.
Oh, OK.
I wasn't paying attention while we were driving.
And when I got out of the car, nothing looked familiar.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
[LAUGHTER]
You guys wanted to be able to seat seven, right?
Right.
Mm-hmm.
Looks like we nailed it.
[LAUGHTER]
I really did not like this couch at all.
I didn't the color.
I didn't like the comfort.
When I sat down, I think I sat on a piece of wood
or something.
So we saw three couches.
What do you feel like would be the best option?
I would say the second one, definitely.
Couch number two.
Couch number two, for sure.
You seem thrilled.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
I mean--
We're just--
Just what we were looking for, actually.
So I mean, we're--
well, not 100% what we're looking for, but--
It'll do.
It will do.
Yeah.
And that's what I mean by thrilled--
[LAUGHTER]
--when it ends with it'll do.
So we got the couch home today, and we're
really excited about it.
It didn't fit.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
So Erica and Justin, I don't think you
were really satisfied.
That didn't even fit inside, right?
No.
No, not at all.
That's a shame.
Well, lucky for me, I have a furniture line,
and we're going to give you $5,000 so you can go and get
yourself whatever you want.
[APPLAUSE]
