Look Martha up...

First, lemme be clear. I enjoy the hell outta yer show. I even go back and listen to programs I've already heard, which I was doing tonight. Tweet nothings? I remember liking that, and it's fun to listen to again. I was sure enjoying the part with the guy from Georgia, who writes like he talks, 'cuz that's the way I like to write too. I was basking in the warmtn of hearing language being well and imaginatively used.
Then the snow fed waterfall crashed upon me. And I remembered the same thing happening the last time I heard this program, but this time, by god, I'm gonna say something. "Look Martha and I up"! "Look Martha and I up"!
Would you say "Look up Martha. And look up I as well."?

I don't wanna come down on ya too hard. I've done lotsa worse things, but not grammatically.
