Key Quote: “When Mark and I were hatching this idea, we were sort of talking about the idea of what would happen if we lost each other. And I was like, ‘Well, I’m still gonna be there, and we’re still gonna make fart jokes.’ I feel like you would continue laughing with someone even after they’re gone, and the idea that a part of them is always with you and stays with you, and hopefully that’s a part that just makes your heart burst and still brings you joy, even if you’re going through grief,” Aselton told us.
