“I want to be 80,” says comedian Tom Segura. “I think I’m perfect for that. Staying home, wearing sweaters and being anti-social.” The comedian, who grew up in Cincinnati, has been busy pitching projects in Hollywood, touring the country with his stand-up and doing a weekly podcast called Your Mom’s House with his wife and fellow comic Christina Pazsitsky. “It’s been huge for us,” he says. “I wish we could do an episode more than once a week.” The podcast is actually helping both get folks to their respective live shows (they tour separately). The show’s success likely stems from the fact that the husband and wife really enjoy working together. “We talk about whatever we want,” he says. “It’s silly, loose, and that’s just what we want it to be.” Being married to someone who is also a stand-up might seem like it would present some challenges, but Segura says that’s not the case. Sure, they’ll notice odd stuff at the same time, but, Segura says, “Once someone makes a joke about it, it’s their joke. We’re not like, ‘I was going to say that!’ ”
