Mr. Thomas
This is really great.
May Martin
It's the first time it's happened.
Mr. Thomas
I've never been to. I walked by this building a lot.
May Martin
Oh, well, that counts.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, that counts.
May Martin
May has walked by the building.
Mr. Thomas
Walks by this building. So in a way, it's like I've recorded a bunch of podcasts here.
May Martin
Exactly.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
It's very cool because we've all been filming out of the country since April.
Mr. Thomas
Oh, my gosh.
Fortune Feimster
At different times. We got together for a Holly Bob show.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
But this is it. It's been so long.
May Martin
It really has. And I just wrapped season one. Starfleet Academy.
Fortune Feimster
Wow.
Mr. Thomas
Starfleet Academy.
Fortune Feimster
You got to be so happy to be home.
May Martin
I am so happy. I mean, and not to say I didn't enjoy my time. I absolutely loved the cast and the crew. I mean, I don't need to do, like, a rap speech or anything right now, but I had a wonderful time. But, my gosh, am I happy to be home with my wife and my cubs and our kiddie city. It's just like. And just to be able to also get back in town and come over here and be in person with everybody. It's a real dream come true.
Fortune Feimster
Cause you kind of have to put your life on hold when you do these shows.
May Martin
I am trying to grab a lot of minutes. Like, I'm still not touring. I'm gonna try and push this, like, two or three years.
Fortune Feimster
Really?
Mr. Thomas
Really? Okay. You're just gonna chill, do stand up.
May Martin
Like, I mean, do stand up. Work on material locally, whether I'm in LA or Toronto, and then, you know, be in my space suit and podcast with my. My buds.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, I love that.
May Martin
My handsome, handsome buds. And Mr. Thomas. Hopefully he'll understand how to work the knobs over there.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, that's doing my best.
Fortune Feimster
Is it going good?
May Martin
It's going pretty good.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
Tig Notaro
I'm learning as we go. We're at Headgum.
May Martin
We should talk about that. That we're at Headgum Studios. We did.
Fortune Feimster
We did mention that.
May Martin
Oh, my God. You'd have to listen. I can't listen and do the cameras at the same time.
Fortune Feimster
We do have a special guest today.
Mr. Thomas
Oh, yeah, we do.
May Martin
We do. And our special guest is Kronk Biggie.
Mr. Thomas
Is there any way to zoom in on his Biggie?
Fortune Feimster
I had sitting by me, and right when we started the pod, he went all the way to the other side of the couch.
May Martin
He made a decision. Some time alone.
Fortune Feimster
Okay, Tig, I have a bone to pick with you. Ever since you dubbed him, Happy to work it through, you called Biggie Dead Eyes.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Right.
May Martin
Because he is.
Fortune Feimster
And so now whenever I post a picture of him, half the people go, there's old dead Eyes.
Mr. Thomas
There's old dead eyes.
Fortune Feimster
And then the other half goes, he doesn't have dead eyes.
May Martin
Well, I've increased engagement on your face.
Fortune Feimster
You have?
May Martin
Yes.
Fortune Feimster
You have.
Mr. Thomas
No wonder he's distancing himself. He's.
Fortune Feimster
He's tired. Yeah, yeah, he and I had a. Jax is out of town this weekend, so he and I. I've been running errands and partying.
May Martin
Where's J. Where she. Is she vacationing?
Fortune Feimster
Yes, she's vacationing in old Chicago. No, she had to go. A friend had a family member pass, so she went out there. Yeah, sorry to hear that. That's all.
May Martin
It's all right. I was expecting a fun, like a vacation.
Fortune Feimster
I was like, I don't want to.
May Martin
Bring it down, but nothing can bring us down.
Mr. Thomas
Nothing.
Fortune Feimster
Well, what if I was just like, yeah, she would. She's looking at timeshares in Chicago.
Mr. Thomas
What is a timeshare?
Fortune Feimster
Oh, you own like a.
May Martin
Wait, are we trying to kill the podcast? Sorry.
Anna Kendrick
Sorry.
May Martin
Yeah, you know what?
Fortune Feimster
Oh, man. I know.
May Martin
But you can also say our whole pod. Who gives a shit?
Fortune Feimster
Is he snoring? Sorry.
May Martin
Okay, explain to me. Timeshares.
Mr. Thomas
Is it really dry, though? Can I tell you what I think?
Fortune Feimster
It's a quick answer.
Mr. Thomas
Jeez, guys, I can tell you what.
May Martin
I think it is. I know it's taking so long.
Fortune Feimster
Well, you've interrupted.
May Martin
Okay, well, tell me.
Fortune Feimster
It's like you. You're basically buying like a couple weeks out of the year. You don't own it outright. The. Like a condo or something.
Mr. Thomas
Huh.
Fortune Feimster
So like, for like four weeks out of the year, you can go have the. Or a couple months out of the year? It depends on the.
May Martin
And you told Jax, Go get us one great plan.
Mr. Thomas
I have follow up questions, but they're so boring.
May Martin
Oh, let's hear them.
Mr. Thomas
Well, it's things like, if the place appreciates in value, do you get a return on your investment? Can you believe I'm using language like that?
Fortune Feimster
I know. Well, you're a homeowner now.
Mr. Thomas
I feel like I'm growing up.
Fortune Feimster
Made it.
Mr. Thomas
Almost started growing.
Fortune Feimster
You did?
Mr. Thomas
I don't want to be like, just thinking about. I want to be thinking about whimsical delights, you know? I don't want to be thinking about.
May Martin
Like, the Pete Pan that you are.
Mr. Thomas
Pete Pan?
May Martin
Do you think Pete Pan. Peter Pan ever went by Pete Pan?
Fortune Feimster
I think so.
Mr. Thomas
Petey.
Fortune Feimster
I never thought about Petey Pan.
May Martin
Pete Pan. Hello, my name is Pete Pan.
Fortune Feimster
Because Peter's a grown up name.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, but if you're. If you're like, working in construction or something.
Fortune Feimster
Thank you.
Mr. Thomas
You're gonna go call me Pete?
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
May Martin
Do you think Peter Pan worked construction?
Mr. Thomas
I think.
May Martin
I don't think so.
Mr. Thomas
When he came back from Neverland and he had to grow up and he had to fly, and he slowly forgot everything and he couldn't fly anymore. Fortune. And then he probably had to think, well, I built that treehouse for the lost boys.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
So I guess I'll put those skills. What else is he gonna do, call me Pete?
Fortune Feimster
I was trying to remember what Peter Pan How. How it unfolded.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, well, sword fights.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Captain Hook.
May Martin
I do think it's your pitch in Hollywood.
Fortune Feimster
I do think you can own a home and still be Pete Pan.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my home is filled with whimsical items.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
May Martin
Chris. What?
Mr. Thomas

Fortune Feimster

Mr. Thomas
And I saw Jenny sleep the other night at a show, and I need.
May Martin
To get Jenny on here.
Mr. Thomas
We gotta get her on. And I didn' tell her that I have a Marcel the shell that's like. It comes in a little box and it's like, got instructions on how to care for him and it's so good. And I keep him in a plant and I got these plants and.
May Martin
Why'd you withhold that from her? Didn't want her to feel any joy.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, I thought you got enough going on.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to lift her up tonight.
May Martin
Jenny Slate down a notch.
Mr. Thomas
Well, I also at the moment have both of her books by my bedside table, so I was like. Because you live in the same.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, you stan Jenny slay.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, well, I just started reading the new one.
Fortune Feimster
Okay, that's great.
Mr. Thomas
Anyway, whatever.
Fortune Feimster
Didn't you just have your bathroom redone? And. And weren't you in a situation that you were going to tell us about?
Mr. Thomas
Did I tell that on that?
Fortune Feimster
No, we did. We. We saved it.
Mr. Thomas
Okay. Because I also saw a comment that.
Fortune Feimster
Was like, on our bonus episode.
Mr. Thomas
On a bonus episode.
May Martin
I was like, I know my memory's not great, but May was going to.
Fortune Feimster
Tell us about their experience moving into your new home.
Mr. Thomas
I've only been there a couple of weeks, but when I moved in, the bathroom was, like, demolished.
May Martin
Like, somebody went in there and, like, just trashed it.
Mr. Thomas
They're renovating it? Yeah, it was covered in came with the house, but no, there was no toilet.
May Martin
Okay.
Mr. Thomas
And so the toilet was in the, like, garage Back house.
May Martin
So you got the house in this condition?
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, well, no, I'm having it renovated.
May Martin
Oh, okay.
Mr. Thomas
But it wasn't done, so. So I was like, okay, I'll just pee in the back house in the night. But I was too scared in the middle of the night. And so I. I woke up, I had to pee. I was awake enough to go all the way to the kitchen. And then I peed in a kettle that I peed, that I brought into my.
May Martin
Were you asleep?
Fortune Feimster
Wow, that's great. I was awake. I don't know if I could have made it into the kettle.
Mr. Thomas
I was too scared to go outside in the cold. Then I got kettle, like a kettle. And then I peed in it in my room, went to bed. Then I woke up and I'm faced with what I've done. Like I'm horrified of an animal. And it was just like, curb your enthusiasm. Like, I bring it into the kitchen to dispose of this kettle. And then the contractors are arriving and are like, hey, can we have a coffee? And I'm like holding a kettle of piss that they don't know about. I had to throw it away. Oh, it's been crazy. It's been.
May Martin
Maybe you aren't ready to own a home.
Mr. Thomas
I'm like peeing in a potty.
Fortune Feimster
But you had no recollection that you did it.
Mr. Thomas
No, I remember.
Fortune Feimster
Okay.
Mr. Thomas
But I just. You, you know that like nighttime logic where you're like, I'm too tired to go outside, so I'll just go get this kettle.
May Martin
Can you believe people? I mean, people still do have outhouses, but that was the situation.
Mr. Thomas
That's insane.
May Martin
And like cold, cold winter, like in my warm home, like totally comfortable to get up and go to the bathroom in the night. I. It is a full on mission conversation with myself. Like, I can hold it. I probably go back to sleep and I don't need to get up right now. And then I'm lying there going, no, this is going to keep me awake.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
May Martin
And. And it's just right there. The bathroom is just right there. Imagine me with a candle. Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Bonnet.
May Martin
Well, you know, I love a bonnet.
Fortune Feimster
Of course you have a bonnet on.
May Martin
Of course.
Mr. Thomas
God, yeah.
May Martin
I mean, what people have gone through.
Mr. Thomas
But why can't.
May Martin
And now you're urinating into a kettle for no reason.
Mr. Thomas
No good reason. Why can't we bring back.
May Martin
Did you heat it up?
Mr. Thomas
Bed pans?
Fortune Feimster
The piss?
Mr. Thomas
No, I didn't heat up the piss.
Fortune Feimster
Anybody want a spot of tea? A pee?
May Martin
A spot of pee.
Mr. Thomas
I'm still getting to know, like, the ins and outs of the house. And I. So two nights in a row, I've been. And I hope my. I don't know if my new neighbors would listen to this podcast. I'm gonna say, let's hope they don't. They seem super nice.
Fortune Feimster
Let's hope they do. Two more listeners.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, that's true. So two nights in a row at, like, one in the morning, I've been out back, like, having a cigarette or pottering around. I have a concrete cat that I found back there, 100 years old, that has an alt. I've made an altar, so I've been going to tend to the altar. Anyway, so two nights in a row, I've seen this light in their garden, like, cell phone light, going like, wee, like that, arcing up high. And I was like, what is going on? And then I looked, and I see the trees shaking, and it's someone on a swing at one in the morning, swinging.
May Martin
You have a whimsical neighbor.
Fortune Feimster
Wow. And they're.
Mr. Thomas
I know. There's no kids that live there.
May Martin
It's a lady.
Mr. Thomas
I can't see it.
Fortune Feimster
It's a witch.
Mr. Thomas
So I was trying to. And then I thought, are they filming, like.
Fortune Feimster
And then shy.
Mr. Thomas
So I was telling. Actually Lisa Gilroy, this friend of the pod. Yeah, not yet.
May Martin
I mean, we're friends with her, but she's never been on it, and I don't want to have her.
Mr. Thomas
So I was showing her the cat altar. And then I go, oh, my God. Yeah. So my neighbors, they have a swing, and I've seen them, like, they're swinging at night, and, like, I. I wonder if they'll swing tonight. I hope. You see, they're. They're like. And then I realized if they heard me, they'd think I was being like, my neighbors are swingers.
Fortune Feimster
That's right.
Mr. Thomas
I hope they swing.
May Martin
And they're saying that about you.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, probably.
May Martin
Like, I think. I think there's a swinger over there.
Fortune Feimster
All these people just living on the edge of a cliff.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Being a whimsical.
May Martin
And are you liking your house? Aside from the fact there's no toilet. And you, you have.
Mr. Thomas
Oh, there's so much going on.
May Martin
You have this possum.
Mr. Thomas
Did I tell you about.
Fortune Feimster
I think you did.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah. There's a possum.
Fortune Feimster
Don't let Tig not hear this.
Mr. Thomas
Well.
May Martin
Oh, I don't want to.
Tig Notaro
No, no.
Mr. Thomas
I, I, I. Okay. If you listen to the maze.
Fortune Feimster
Connections to animals. Random animal.
Mr. Thomas
Well, okay. When I moved in.
Fortune Feimster
No Judgment.
Mr. Thomas
I'm outside, and all of a sudden I go, oh, my God. There's this huge, like, chunky possum that looks like a cartoon possum. Like, cute. Not like a ratty possum. Like a. And it stops and looks at me, and I immediately got out my phone. I start filming it, and then it runs away. And then I was so filled with shame. I was like, why couldn't I just have a moment with this possum? Why do I have to pull my phone out? And then I remembered, like, the previous owners told me there's a possum that lives around the house.
Fortune Feimster
They said, there's a chunky possum.
Mr. Thomas
I think they said his name is Eric, but I don't know if I invented that. And so I can't text him and go, hey, is that possum's name Eric?
Fortune Feimster
I think you just decide. I also.
May Martin
Yeah. If you have the wrong name, I think it's.
Fortune Feimster
I think it's okay.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Okay. Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Let's just say it's Eric.
Mr. Thomas
But I felt bad for not being like, hi, I'm May.
Fortune Feimster
You know, you felt bad not telling the possum. Hi, I'm me.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Okay.
Mr. Thomas
And not being.
May Martin
Well, maybe he's listening.
Mr. Thomas
Maybe he's like, I'm Eric.
Fortune Feimster
I don't appreciate you calling me a chunky possum.
May Martin
Yeah, I heard you on the podcast calling me a chunky possum.
Mr. Thomas
Oh, my God.
May Martin
If he listens, my name is not Eric.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah. Do you have any wildlife living around your houses?
May Martin
Like, oh, good question.
Mr. Thomas
Coyotes.
May Martin
We have.
Fortune Feimster
I don't like those.
May Martin
Yeah. I see signs around my neighborhood every now and then saying coyote sightings and whatever. But we have just recently gotten two cats in the neighborhood that come and hang out in our backyard.
Fortune Feimster
No.
May Martin
And drive poor little Linus nuts. He's like, oh, my God. You know, he's never seen any other cats except Skip and Fluff. And then he's seen us, and then these two cats have shown up, and we had a weird issue where Skip started growling at Linus, and Stephanie did some detective work. And I guess there's, like, sometimes a transference of, like, Because. Because Skip saw the other cat out there. That there can be, like, some confusion around Linus because Linus was, like, by the window and, like, you know about.
Mr. Thomas
The other cat, and he's all pent up. He's got nowhere to put it as well.
May Martin
And so when. And they're siblings, and when Linus. And they always sleep together, and they're so affectionate. When Linus went over to be with Skip, Skip was like, really? Yeah. And we were so scared. At least. Ruined the dynamic of Kitty City because all three of our cats travel in a pack. But now it only lasted two days.
Mr. Thomas
Oh, really?
May Martin
Yes.
Mr. Thomas
And the cats come back.
May Martin
The cats still come back. Fluff doesn't care at all about what's going on out there. Skip kind of doesn't either. But Linus sits looking for these two cats. So we don't have wild animals other than.
Fortune Feimster
But you have someone trying to ruin your cat's relationship, trying to get a.
May Martin
Part of Kitty City.
Mr. Thomas
Is it possible that, like, Skip noticed that Lus was checking them out and. And then was jealous? Was, like, maybe punishing Lus? Like, I saw how you looked at.
May Martin
We'll never know.
Fortune Feimster
I mean, God, jealousy. That's happening.
Mr. Thomas
Do you think we should get a pet psychic?
May Martin
A handsome pet?
Mr. Thomas
Oh, my God.
May Martin
Thomas.
Fortune Feimster
I would love a pet psychic psychic.
Mr. Thomas
To see what Biggie's.
Fortune Feimster
I would love to know what he's thinking.
May Martin
Let's get animals, like, whatever animals we see out in the world that we think are cute. We'll adopt them. We'll keep them at head gum.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, okay.
May Martin
And they will deal with our parrots and our parrots and our gerbils.
Fortune Feimster
Awesome.
May Martin
Awesome.
Fortune Feimster
Like, can you guys come help with these?
May Martin
No, we are busy.

May Martin
Why foster it? Why not keep it?
Mr. Thomas
Do you think? I mean I travel so much but I guess I could get you really.
May Martin
Custody with someone or do you travel so much? I would say fortune travels so much.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true actually. Well, yeah, like I'm about to be away for. Yeah, I have like seven trips on the horizon.
Fortune Feimster
Seven trips on the horizon.

And. And I'm put putting on the Ritz horizon Eisen Sizing.

Sizing.
Mr. Thomas
And I'm thinking about up.
Fortune Feimster
Love that song too.
May Martin
I've never heard that one. That one is brand new to me. Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
You could ask a friend if they want to share a. A pet.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
So that when you go out of town, they're watching it. I don't know.
May Martin
Do friends share a pet with me? You know of friends that share pets?
Fortune Feimster
I don't know one personally, but I feel like.
May Martin
Did you just invent that?
Fortune Feimster
Well.
Mr. Thomas
But I feel like that's where we're headed in this modern world. It's. Next it's gonna be Kids Sharing World.
Fortune Feimster
You heard that song.
May Martin
It was in the 80s. Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
So was your reunion good when you got back with the, like, when you came home? Was there? Did they parade? Yeah. Did they come running degree?
May Martin
Yes. Well, I was. I. My flight was canceled. I hate that there's a massive snowstorm.
Mr. Thomas
In Toronto.
May Martin
And hope everyone's okay. But, yeah, I was. I was all ready to go, and then it got canceled, and then. And then I flew out the next morning, and then Max and Finn came home from school and I was. I was there, and, you know, I got some mare, like, running, and they're like, how long are you going to be home? And I was like, six months. And they're like, yes. And then I just thought, that's really not that long. You know, it's a lifetime for them. Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Would you remember, though, when you're a kid and, like, the summer feels like. Oh, yeah.
May Martin
Or for Christmas to come around again? It seems impossible.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah. But do you like being picked up at the airport by loved ones? Yeah.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
What if you were like, no, I hate it.
May Martin
It's the worst. No, I love it. And I enjoy picking people up, too. Like, I'm not somebody where I'm like, oh, there's too much traffic. Or like, I don't care about that. I'll come get you. Not everyone.
Fortune Feimster
Yes.
Mr. Thomas
I'll be hitting you up.
Fortune Feimster
No Biggie. Biggie needs a ride.
May Martin
Will you check his heartbeat? But yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, he's good.
May Martin
It was a. It was a great homecoming.
Mr. Thomas
That's nice.
May Martin
But it's also weird because I call my apartment in Toronto my little hovel.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
May Martin
And it's a perfectly nice apartment.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
May Martin
Very comfortable, clean, all of that. But it's not where I want to be. I obviously want to be home with my family. But then when I left, I also felt a little like, oh, bubble.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, I know.
May Martin
It's so. It's like being, like, starting to, like, your prison cell where you're like, wow, this is so weird.
Mr. Thomas
There's this poem that goes. It makes me think of you and it goes, at last. It's about a guy who's in jail, and he goes, at last, men came to set me free I asked not why, nor reck not where at length it was the same to me Fettered or fetterless to be I'd grown accustomed to despair. So he's like, they took the chains off.
Fortune Feimster
Reminds me of you.
Mr. Thomas
They took the chains off.
May Martin
Who do you think of? Who do you think of? Yeah, that's right.
Fortune Feimster
The last part is despair.
Mr. Thomas
No, but like, they took the chains off and he just was like, I. I sort of forgot why I wanted to leave now.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, look at that. Deep. Yeah. Is that a May fact?
May Martin
No, I feel like it's a poem. It's a whimsical poem.
Fortune Feimster
Do you just have a lot of poems in your head?
Mr. Thomas
Maybe a couple dozen. My grandma was really big into it. She'd had one poem.
May Martin
That's great, man. We love that.
Fortune Feimster
That's great. Hey, I know one poem.
May Martin
Let's hear some.
Fortune Feimster
My poem is, I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree. And that's it. I mean, there's more to the poem, but.
Mr. Thomas
No, that's all you need.
Fortune Feimster
What's that? Joyce Kilmer. Anyway, everyone.
Mr. Thomas
That's beautiful.
Fortune Feimster
Thank you. I mean, there's more to the poem. I just don't know it.
May Martin
Oh, you don't?
Fortune Feimster
I don't. I'm not like, May.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
There's no poem as lovely as a tree. Do you think that's true? I think there's poems lovelier than trees. Is that controversial?
May Martin
It depends on what kind of tree.
Fortune Feimster
And how much you love tree.
Mr. Thomas
About like a runt.
Fortune Feimster
How much you love coins.
May Martin
Runts stump. What do you really think? We were talking about a runt stump. We were talking about lovely trees.
Mr. Thomas
Like, there's degrees. There's, like, poems that are for sure more beautiful than a rump stump.
Fortune Feimster
But I wish I knew. I wish I knew more to the poem. I know it's. It gets good.
May Martin
Why don't you make up more?
Fortune Feimster
No.
May Martin
Okay.
Fortune Feimster
I don't want to ruin her po. Or, wait, is it that. Is that a man? Is Joyce a man or a woman? I think it's a man.
Mr. Thomas
Oh, like Joyce Carol Oates. Is that a man, too?
May Martin
Do you think?
Fortune Feimster
If Google.
May Martin
If Joyce.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, it's a man.
May Martin
If Joyce was reincarnated, would it be Rejoice.
Mr. Thomas
I didn't see that coming.
May Martin
And with that, should we go to our guest?
Fortune Feimster
Yes. I was about to read you more poems.
May Martin
Oh, well, our guests can wait.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
A poem. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed against the earth. Sweet flowing breast. Whoa.
Mr. Thomas
Okay.
May Martin
It's so inappropriate.
Mr. Thomas
So horny all of a sudden.
May Martin
It's like triple X.
Fortune Feimster
Also, a tree that looks like God all day. Does he religious.
Mr. Thomas
A tree that looks at.
May Martin
Oh my God. Fortune. Fortune.
Fortune Feimster
And lifts her leafy arms to pray. A tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair.
Mr. Thomas
That's nice.
Fortune Feimster
Upon whose bosom. Now we get horny again. Snow has lain, who intimately lives with rain.
May Martin
Wait, you say a line and then we'll try and guess how it ends.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Well, this is the last line. We're at the end. Poems are made by fools like me.
May Martin
Wait, in the poem they're talking about poems.
Fortune Feimster
Poems are made by fools like me. But only God.
Mr. Thomas
I knew it was going to be only God really could make a tree.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Wow.
May Martin
I never would have guessed. Where's the headed?
Fortune Feimster
That's the only point.
Mr. Thomas
I can't believe it was like.
May Martin
And you don't even know it. No wonder you blacked out on the rest.
Fortune Feimster
I didn't remember the bosom.
Mr. Thomas
And then what I didn't like was like the. The tree's hungry, sexy mouth. Like, what mouth is on a tree?
May Martin
Would you have an. Or an orgy with a tree?
Mr. Thomas
No, guys, guys. Well, I say that there. There's. I wouldn't.
Fortune Feimster
But under a tree you would.
Mr. Thomas
I remember when I was in middle school, they told someone, some kid was like, have you heard of Dendrophilia? That like you want to bang plants? And it just stuck in my mind so much, it freaked me right out. But no, I wouldn't have an orgy with a tree. Would you?
Fortune Feimster
Because only God can make a tree.
May Martin
I'm not even interested in human orgies. I'll be honest.
Mr. Thomas
I thought you said that you'd.
Fortune Feimster
There's too many people I would be.
May Martin
Okay watching in a corner.
Fortune Feimster
There's too many holes. You did say that you and I would watch.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, this podcast.
May Martin
Me and Fortune in a corner together watching you have an orchard.
Fortune Feimster
You did say it, but in reality, I don't think you'd want to be there.
May Martin
I don't think.
Mr. Thomas
I don't think any of us.
Fortune Feimster
Well, if I don't think wants me watching either.
May Martin
If I. You're holding Biggie, I'm kissing you on the cheek. Yeah. If we could talk or be like, oh my gosh, what are they doing? What is that move? Right?
Fortune Feimster
That would be fun in the mug.
May Martin
Guys, guys, we have got to make.
Fortune Feimster
That like a best in show.
Mr. Thomas
Done that with porn where they do a commentary over Top.
May Martin
That's what I'm just sitting right. Like, wait, is this our next venture? Yeah. Like, I'm looking at these cameras going, guys, we need to film an orgy and do commentary.
Mr. Thomas
This is not good. Don't look at me. I. I'm not going to be involved in the orgy. I'll be a commentator.
Fortune Feimster
Okay.
May Martin
Okay. May will be able to tell us what's happening. May.
Mr. Thomas
We'll be able to be like this point. As you can see over there, it.
May Martin
Looks they're gonna be bringing in some lube now.
Fortune Feimster
I will bring snacks.
May Martin
You're just, like, eating.
Fortune Feimster
You just hear Ruffles.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Crunch, crunch.
May Martin
I love Fritos.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, so good.
Mr. Thomas
All it took was that one little about a tree to get us all riled up.
Fortune Feimster
We're all horny now and all.
May Martin
Now we're all the way back to Fritos.
Fortune Feimster
Well, before it gets hornier, we should probably get to our question.
Mr. Thomas
Yes. I am so pumped about this person.
Fortune Feimster
Today's question Asker is an Oscar, Tony and Emmy nominated actress and producer. Known and loved for her roles in tons of films, but including into the Woods. Woman of the hour.
Mr. Thomas
Pitch perfect.
Fortune Feimster
Pitch perfect.
Mr. Thomas
Up in the air.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, up in the air. Anna Kendrick is today's question asker.
Anna Kendrick
Hi, handsome pod.
Fortune Feimster
Hi, Fortune.
Anna Kendrick
Hi, May.
Fortune Feimster
Hi, Tig.
Anna Kendrick
It's your pal, Anna Kendrick. I have a question for you. If you could be the best in the world at something but nobody could know about it, what would it be? And no cheating. No. Like, oh, I'd be the best at fast math, but I just wouldn't tell anybody. You can't do it in front of other people.
May Martin
People.
Anna Kendrick
You can't benefit from it. It's just something that's for you.
May Martin
Wait, what'd you say? It can't be. What?
Mr. Thomas
You can't do it in front of others.
May Martin
Yeah, but I thought she said it can't be. Fast mouth.
Mr. Thomas
Fast math.
Fortune Feimster
Fast math. That's a real thing, like counting cards and stuff. Like, you can't win at poker.
May Martin
Yeah, I was gonna say, I feel like she's winning at fast mouth.
Fortune Feimster
She does talk fast.
May Martin
She's a fast talker.
Mr. Thomas
I met her for the first time the other night, and where. It was at a fundraising show that Natalie Morales did and. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Natalie was interviewing Anna on stage in a very, like, between two ferns kind of way.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, nice.
Mr. Thomas
And Anna was so funny. And, you know, you just get a good vibe from certain people. And I knew. I was like, I want to be friends with her because she really understood the significance of the bear story. She was like, what? And she kept coming back to him being like, I can't. Something about the bear story.
May Martin
I was like, you told her the bear story?
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, I told her the full bear story in May. I spared no detail. She was really monopolized her time.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, she's. I. I went on a trip that, that we both were on in December and got to know her. And she's really cool. She directed her first film this past.
Mr. Thomas
Year, Woman of the Hour.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
And. And hearing her talk about it and how, you know, much work she put into it and the details of it was really cool. And I hope she directs more because she has that brain.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
That, like, sees everything.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
She was. She had what? She had talked about my specials and saw things. I was like, that's so cool. Like, I would, you know, that she just notices these things.
Mr. Thomas
Same deal with Feel Good. She had, like, really niche references to it. I was so, like, honored. I love her work, but she had, like, she has, like, a director's eye.
Fortune Feimster
And we did have a fun moment in an Italian restaurant together where it was almost closing time and someone in the restaurant cranked up the Natasha Bedingfield Unwritten Song. And the seventh step is for you bringing up something. The rest is still unwritten.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
You know what I'm talking about.
May Martin
And this was a good memory.
Fortune Feimster
Great memory. And for some reason, when it plays, I know all the words in this moment.
May Martin
I don't know.
Fortune Feimster
I only know one word. But our entire table started, like, scream singing the song because a couple of the Pitch Perfect gals were there too.
May Martin
And does she have a good voice?
Fortune Feimster
They all do. They're incredible. Yeah. Cuz she sings in Pitch Perfect. All three of those movies. And we stood up and we're dancing and everyone was singing. It was like one of those, like, such fun memories of, like, we're all on the same page. We're all having a blast. The restaurant cranked it up even more. It was like, really, really funny.
May Martin
Boy, I would have ruined that moment.
Fortune Feimster
Everyone.
May Martin
I feel like it. What is this song?
Tig Notaro

Mr. Thomas
Now let's break it down.
May Martin
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy.
Mr. Thomas
Bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and the drinks. Sound good?
May Martin
Ba da ba ba ba.
Mr. Thomas
I participate in restaurants for a limited time. Were you the only people in the restaurant?
Fortune Feimster
There was like a other part where more people were, but the main part, like everyone was kind of gone. There was one couple that was just kind of staring at us like it's the entire Pitch Perfect cast and fortune and me.
May Martin
Now walk us through how you end up on vacation with her and you don't know her and it's just a mutual friend.
Fortune Feimster
It was the three of you? Yes, just the three of us. Anna went on a trip with Jacks and I. We have a mutual friend and there was this event in Aspen and he invited.
May Martin
What was the event?
Fortune Feimster
What is it called? Winter polo.
Mr. Thomas
Whoa.
Fortune Feimster
Snow polo. That's it. Snow polo. Yeah.
May Martin
I didn't know you were that rich.
Fortune Feimster
I'm not.
May Martin
I did not spend winter polo.
Fortune Feimster
I was invited.
Mr. Thomas
Has like a secret life of going to Aspen for the winter ball for a winter.
Fortune Feimster
Our friend plays polo and invited us.
May Martin
So you both. Is this an actor comedian that you're both friends with?
Fortune Feimster
He's an actor.
May Martin
Oh, okay.
Fortune Feimster
Sterling, shout out.
May Martin
What is up? Sterling?
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, and he just invites his friends.
May Martin
To like come, hey, come watch me do my thing.
Fortune Feimster
I'm gonna Anna and like Rebel Wilson and Chrissy and Kelly, like all these awesome people from the movie. And me randomly. Me and jags.
May Martin
I think I'm gonna start inviting a gaggle of people to fly out to see me do something.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, why not?
Mr. Thomas
Hey guys, I'm gonna Be. Yeah, I'm gonna be going bowling on Friday.
Fortune Feimster
If you guys want to come, just invite a gag.
May Martin
I think it's fun to do, like, weird curveballs like that.
Mr. Thomas
Well, at one point, Stephanie and I were talking about, is there a way to rent my wife? Yeah.
May Martin
Okay, let's hear it.
Fortune Feimster
My wife.
Mr. Thomas
My wife.
May Martin
Let's hear your plans.
Fortune Feimster
My wife.
Mr. Thomas
We were talking about, is there a way to rent out an arcade or a. Or a laser tag place or something like that? Like, just rent it out for the day. And I'm sure.
May Martin
I'm sorry, Stephanie was asking, well, if.
Fortune Feimster
Who is my wife?
May Martin
But I mean, like, I can't even imagine her being like, God, could we get this arcade?
Mr. Thomas
Well, now.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, you could literally rent out any arcade.
Mr. Thomas
I'm trying to remember now if it was more me being like, hey, we should.
Fortune Feimster
It probably was.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
I knew she was into it.
May Martin
Yeah. In fact, she dropped me off here to record today. And while we were driving, because we just wanted to spend a little extra time together. Yeah. So we're driving along and we were reminiscing about when we were younger. Not that we were together then, but how much time we spent in the Silver Lake area.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
May Martin
And how we like. And that we would be out till 2 and 3 in the morning. And now 9 o'clock, I have my sleep mask on. And there's no place I'd rather be than in bed with my sleep mask on.
Fortune Feimster
Can I tell you that when I did see this polo situation, I got a straight crush on a polo player.
May Martin
Wait, on a man.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Can I ask what polo is?
Fortune Feimster
Oh, no.
Mr. Thomas
Is it on board?
May Martin
Don't tell me.
Mr. Thomas
Is it on?
May Martin
Well, you can Google that.
Fortune Feimster
You can either know what a time here is.
May Martin
We already explained a time. Sure. Yeah. But wait, I want to hear about this.
Fortune Feimster
His name is Nacho. He's like one of the best polo players in the world.
May Martin
Nacho Time.
Fortune Feimster
I don't know if it's his last name. Nacho. Figures.
Mr. Thomas
And did you make your feelings known?
Fortune Feimster
Yes. He's married. I'm married. It can never be. Nacho.
May Martin
I don't think the marriage is what's getting between the two of you.
Fortune Feimster
Nacho. It can never be.
May Martin
Leave fortune alone.
Fortune Feimster
I loved him so much.
May Martin
Was it his personality? Was it.
Fortune Feimster
He's Argentinian and a very quiet at first, kind of like, who are these people? And then I won them over because we were at dinner and.
May Martin
Did he see your. Your calves?
Fortune Feimster
He didn't even see my calves. But he was at the end of the table. So the food was never getting to him. So what is an argument?
May Martin
Anyone pass the fridge?
Fortune Feimster
Oh, no.
May Martin
I have had people. People at a dinner that are at the other side of the table, and we still pass the food down to them.
Fortune Feimster
I don't know this, but what an Argentinian man loves. And boy, do I know what an Argentinian man loves is for you to feed him. So I kept. I kept like Nacho. I was getting food and giving it.
Mr. Thomas
To him and did you cut it up and.
Fortune Feimster
No, I didn't do that. But then he. Then he loved me. And then he walked Jax and I back to hotel. I bet he did. And then when he was playing, he came by on his horse and kissed my hand.
Mr. Thomas
No way.
Fortune Feimster
Yes.
May Martin
Oh, wait. Now you let May know that polo.
Fortune Feimster
Is horses or you really don't know what polo is?
May Martin
May. This is May needs to look up.
Fortune Feimster
You've never heard of polo?
Mr. Thomas
I think I thought polo was water polo. Swimming. But then now I'm thinking, have you ever seen Ralph?
May Martin
You can lead a horse to water polo, right?
Fortune Feimster
Marco? Polo.
May Martin
Polo.
Fortune Feimster
That's in the water. There are horses. Is. That's it? It is a rich people sport I've never been to.
May Martin
You kidding? In Aspen.
Fortune Feimster
It's like a whole world.
May Martin
How'd you get there? Greyhound.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
May Martin
How'd you get there?
Fortune Feimster
Don't worry about it.
May Martin
How did you arrive?
Fortune Feimster
I went by horse and he. He made me swoon out for sure.
Mr. Thomas
He. He what?
Fortune Feimster
He made me swoon.
May Martin
Did Jax think he was hot?
Fortune Feimster
Jags thinks no man's hot, but she likes Nacho a lot.
Mr. Thomas
Okay, if you could be.
Fortune Feimster
Okay, back to the question.
May Martin
Anna.
Mr. Thomas
The best in the world at one thing or be amazing at one thing, but you can't. No one can know.
May Martin
Ever.
Fortune Feimster
It's hard because who doesn't want to show off on Instagram?
Mr. Thomas
You can't do it in front of people.
May Martin
Who doesn't want to show off on Instagram? It's so hard.
Fortune Feimster
I have this talent that no one can know about. But that. That would be me on Tick Tock going, I wish you guys could know how amazing.
Mr. Thomas
Something secret. That's such a great tell you.
Fortune Feimster
But just know I'm incredible.
May Martin
So good at this.
Mr. Thomas
That is so grade 8. I would like something. Really?
Fortune Feimster
I have something. I. I would pick. It would kill me that no one could see this.
Mr. Thomas
Okay. Okay.
Fortune Feimster
But I know that I'm ne. I could technically take lessons and learn how to do this. Yeah, but I don't feel like it. Okay, But I want this skill really bad. I would love.
May Martin
Is it tumbling?
Fortune Feimster
It is not tumbling. I would love to be like. Like play any song in the world on a piano.
May Martin
But you don't want anyone to know.
Fortune Feimster
I think I would at home. Just play all the time and sing.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah. It would bring you.
Fortune Feimster
It would bring me a lot of joy. It would kill me.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
That I couldn't post videos of it. But it would be for me.
May Martin
But maybe I'm not understanding this question. Why wouldn't you want people to know? Like. Cause. Is there shame around it?
Mr. Thomas
No. Just in the question.
Fortune Feimster
That's just the question.
Mr. Thomas
The question is if you could be amazing at something, but only you know that. And it's a secret. You can only do it in private.
Fortune Feimster
You can't share it with anybody. That's. It's Anna's rules.
Mr. Thomas
It's Anna's rules. We didn't make them. We just live by them.
May Martin
Anna didn't have rules. That was my understanding about Anna. That's what everyone in Hollywood said.
Fortune Feimster
Anna, no rules.
May Martin
Yeah. Anna plays by her own rules.
Fortune Feimster
She does.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Okay. I think I know mine. I think it's. And it would be hard not to talk about and tell people, but either astral projection, where when you sleep, you leave your body and you go out to space.
Fortune Feimster
I swear to God, I'm not being dirty. Don't yell at me. I really thought you said asshole projection. Projection.
May Martin
Did you not.
Mr. Thomas
Asshole projection? Is that what it sounded like?
Fortune Feimster
And I was like astral.
Mr. Thomas
Astral. Astral, yeah, Astral.
Fortune Feimster
This is a stars thing.
Mr. Thomas
This is like when you sleep, you project your soul out of your body and you go into space and you can zoom around. Oh, it's legit.
Fortune Feimster
Okay.
Mr. Thomas
Or meditation, because I've talked about before. I just can't do it. And I wouldn't have to tell anyone. It would just be. Anytime I was alone, I'd just be like.
May Martin
I don't think I understand why it has to be a secret again. I just. I'm like, this word is out. You can meditate.
Fortune Feimster
Well, so what can tickle the ivories? So Anna's the boss of us today. And in this world. We can't tell anyone.
May Martin
Okay, here's mine.
Fortune Feimster
Okay. Here we go. And no one is ever gonna know about it.
May Martin
Okay. That I could throw on some high heels and a. And some pantyhose.
Fortune Feimster
What?
May Martin
And a skirt. And I can just. I don't understand the question clearly because it's like. I feel like if I put that on, I'd do Fine.
Mr. Thomas
No, this is a. This is actually really. I think I relate to this, because if you went out to Largo dressed like that, it would be. Oh, that's hilarious. Oh, my God. Or like, what the. And you couldn't just be a sexy little lady.
May Martin
Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
Because everyone would be like. Like, Tig. What?
May Martin
Yeah, Tig's a sexy little lady.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah. So you could do it alone. Do this alone.
May Martin
But I've also thought about doing that, like, on a special too. Like, for real? Yeah. To, like, dress like that and just not acknowledge it. Please run a late night show.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah. Oh, that would be good. Like an hour.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Walking through carpets.
Mr. Thomas
Do you think you'd be able to be as funny or would you? Because I just did a show with Lisa Gilroy, and as a joke, we dressed up as each other. And so she was like, I'm May Martin in a hat. And I wore, like, a tight black dress, and I haven't worn one since.
Fortune Feimster
Did you post a picture? No, because in that. In this world, you can share with.
Mr. Thomas
People in the real world. But I actually was like, fortune loves.
May Martin
To brag on social media.
Fortune Feimster
Apparently, you did this for yourself.
Mr. Thomas
But I found it, like, surprisingly hard. Like, once I got on stage, I was like, anyway, joke's over now, guys. I'll probably just go change.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, you didn't like it.
Mr. Thomas
It couldn't be funny. I don't know.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, interesting. Interesting.
May Martin
Yeah, I just.
Fortune Feimster
I would never have guessed that would have been your thing.
May Martin
Again, I don't think I understand the question. I'm just gonna say in the privacy of my own home.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
May Martin
I'm gonna dress like a little lady, and I'm gonna look up YouTube videos of how to walk in heels.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah. And you're gonna, like, strut your stuff.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
That is so funny. Can you please do this for a late night?
May Martin
Yeah, maybe next time I do Colbert.
Fortune Feimster
I was about to say Colbert would probably be the. A. A good one for that.
May Martin
And he is the love of my life.
Fortune Feimster
And so somebody. Oh, okay. What the.
May Martin
I kissed your cheek today.

Mr. Thomas

All of a sudden you want to kiss Stephen Colbert's cheek.

No. That you had had a male crush.
May Martin
Well, yeah, that and him and Pitbull. We already know this.

It would be funny.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Okay.
May Martin

Fortune Feimster
Is anyone listening?
May Martin

Don't tell him.
May Martin
Like, if you work at his. At his show.
Fortune Feimster
We do have producers of people's show.
May Martin
Listen, and we will find you.
Mr. Thomas
But didn't we think about when we host the Oscars wearing black dresses? All of us are gowns, tuxedos. Oh, yeah. And we're gonna change, but we could.
Fortune Feimster
Go into another bit at some point in a dress.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be good.

His tongue didn't used to do that, but he had teeth pulled. And now the tongue. His tongue.
May Martin
When did his teeth get. You pulled all of them out just to see his tongue.
Fortune Feimster
Like 15 of them.
May Martin
15 teeth.
Fortune Feimster
He had to get 15 when? Like eight months ago. Six months ago. Oh, man.
Mr. Thomas
Would you rather. Aw, yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Stretch it out.
Mr. Thomas
You've got to have no teeth or you have one big tooth.
May Martin
Well, I'm always gonna go for the one big tooth and big feet.
Fortune Feimster
Did you say no teeth are one big tooth?
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, yeah.
Fortune Feimster
I think I just had to have no teeth.
Mr. Thomas
Really?
May Martin
I'll take the one big, too.
Fortune Feimster
You're eating like this.
May Martin
You know, today Stephanie was like a beaver. Who would you rather date?
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
May Martin
Billie Eilish Chapel, Roan. And then there was somebody else. And I was like, all the young les.
Fortune Feimster
Lesbian.
May Martin
Lesbian. Lesbians.
Fortune Feimster
Young lesbians.
May Martin
And I was like. And I was. I mean, love these people as musicians and singers. But I was like. I mean, I said, who.
Fortune Feimster
Who would you.
May Martin
And she was like, oh, I wouldn't date any of them.
Mr. Thomas
I was like, well, I'm not gonna.
May Martin
Date any of them either. What are we doing? She does that to me. All the. We'll go to a dinner, an intimate dinner, and we'll leave. And she'll be like, okay, okay, if you had to. She always wants to know who I would date out of whatever three. And then I say it. I fall for it every time. And then I ask her, and she's like, oh, none of them. Every single time that just happened on the way here, I thought the rules.
Fortune Feimster
Is that we had to name someone.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah.
May Martin
Yeah. Who? Oh, the other one was Sabrina Carpenter. She said, Sabrina Carpenter. I said, I've never heard Sabrina Carpenter talk. Talk. So that I, you know, these are all attractive, talented people.
Mr. Thomas
They're so.
Fortune Feimster
They should all ask us questions.
May Martin
They are so young.
Mr. Thomas
They should all ask us questions.
Fortune Feimster
Billy.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Billy Chapel and Sabrina. Sabrina, we'd love for you to submit a question. Thank you.
May Martin
I know Billy's mom pretty well.
Mr. Thomas
Do you really?
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Maggie. I used to teach at the ground lease. I. I've never met her, but I, I. People love her.
May Martin
She's awesome. And she is, like, the vegan guru.
Fortune Feimster
I've met Phineas. Their whole family, like, loves comedy.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Because they grew up, you know, with the ground around the groundlings and stuff.
Mr. Thomas
But I didn't know that.
May Martin
Anyway, I need to understand somebody's personality. Who would you date out of Sabrina, Billy and Chapel?
Fortune Feimster
Oh, gosh, I don't know. Billy's so cool. I feel like I'm not cool enough for Billy.
May Martin
Billy is so cool.
Fortune Feimster
So cool. I would be. Billy would find me incredibly boring. Sabrina, too. She.
May Martin
Sabrina would find you more.
Fortune Feimster
I think so.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
I think Chapel.
May Martin
I think they would all probably find you boring.
Fortune Feimster
No, no. They would be into me.
May Martin
What about sexual? No, we're finished with you. Wait, who would you be into Chapel?
Fortune Feimster
Because she's a demisexual.
May Martin
Which is a demisexual.
Fortune Feimster
It is. You have to have a connection first right before anything romantic.
Mr. Thomas
Well, that sounds kind of like.
Fortune Feimster
And I can win her over. My personality.
May Martin
I figured it out. I figured it out. I would be Chapel as well. And let me tell you why. My friends Beth and Rick had Stephanie and I watch this video of Chapel and her parents.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, that was really sweet. You've seen it.
May Martin
It was really great that I already loved Chapel round. And then I was like, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, you gotta see this video. I'm like, in the car. I know. And I was truly like, yeah, we'll see it late. Okay. I don't wanna watch the video. They put it on.
Mr. Thomas
It's so good.
Fortune Feimster
It's really great.
May Martin
How do people find. It's carpool karaoke, but it's not carpool karaoke.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah. Yeah.
Mr. Thomas
How do I like.
May Martin
The guy takes her to her hometown and she shows him around. It is the most charming, touching, inspiring thing.
Fortune Feimster
Supportive.
May Martin
Oh, my God.
Mr. Thomas
How do we get anything accomplished when there's so much to watch? On the Internet. That is. Is such good.
May Martin
I find it hard to get anything done. Just looking at myself, like, I'm, like, an attractive person.
Fortune Feimster
And how do you get through the day without looking in mirrors?
May Martin
Yeah, it's hard to pull myself away from a mirror.
Mr. Thomas
But I heard that you're supposed to every morning look at yourself in the eyes and say, I love you 10 times. And I tried it the other morning, and it felt very weird. And I realized I never look at myself in the eyes. I was, like, embarrassed. I was like, oh, hey.
May Martin
I only look at myself when I'm brushing my tooth. My one big tooth. And then I head out for the day. I catch glimpses and reflections in windows, and I'm like, oh, boy.
Mr. Thomas
Right?
Fortune Feimster
Do you know what I do? I look into a mirror and I say, God, what have you done? You're a Pink Pony girl and you dance at the club oh, mama, can you hear? Just having fun on the stage in my heels it's where I belong down.
May Martin
At the Pink Pony Club Keep on dancing the Pink Pony Club who would you choose out of Chapel?
Fortune Feimster
Billy?
May Martin
And to be clear, these are all attractive, cool, talented people. I just think I know this.
Fortune Feimster
And to be clear, they don't want us.
Mr. Thomas
And they're so young.
May Martin
But there's three of them, and there's three of us. But we both are gonna fight over Chapel.
Mr. Thomas
I feel like this podcast, if we were three guys, it would be, like, so bro y.
Fortune Feimster
It would be, like.
May Martin
Growy. But then it's like, I need to understand her personality. I know that's true, but that's where I feel like I started to understand Chapel personality and her parents.
Mr. Thomas
I am gonna say Sabrina Carpenter.
Fortune Feimster
That's who I thought I knew you.
Mr. Thomas
Were for the following reasons. I heard that Chapel Roan dates, like, femme women. That's what I heard. Oh, I heard that on the streets. Word on the streets. You guys are out.
Fortune Feimster
I'm out.
Mr. Thomas
I know Chapel Roan's music better than that.
Fortune Feimster
I love that we're talking about this as if it's. As if it's a possibility out. Then.
Mr. Thomas
Sabrina Carpenter. Is that who dated Barry Keegan?
Fortune Feimster
Yes, it is.
Mr. Thomas
And I feel like I could. I don't know.
Fortune Feimster
I'm.
Mr. Thomas
Yeah, I'm going Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah. I have no. Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
In this fantasy land, it can be whatever you want.
May Martin
So you're saying Chapel's not going to be into my flannel and mustache?
Mr. Thomas
Well, never say that.
Fortune Feimster
If she.
Mr. Thomas
She's a maybe. If the connection is strong enough, she's.
Fortune Feimster

Also, all four of these people are really not comparable. Like, they're so different, and we're supposed.
May Martin
To, like, date them.
Fortune Feimster
I already know it's Celine Dion. My hands down. I could listen to her sing for hours.

May Martin
Yes, you must do things like this.

Fortune Feimster
So how did this become the most random?
May Martin
Also, we have Anna Kendrick's face on pause.
Fortune Feimster
We gotta.
May Martin
Anna, what have you got for us?
Anna Kendrick
If I could be the best in the world at something and nobody could know about it, I would want to be the best in the world at dancing. I not a good dancer, but I would love to be like, like. Like a ballerina. You know, like the turns and the leaps and whatever. And it would be my preference to do it in front of people and have people be very impressed by me. But I like it so much. The idea of that, like, that ability to do that with your body, that I think that would be very satisfying.
May Martin
Anna. No, you're satisfying her on the rules now.
Mr. Thomas
Ting's like, no, those aren't the rules.
Fortune Feimster
Ting's very upset that we can't tell.
May Martin
Her because Anna and you know, give me a ring, a ding. We need to talk about this because why, if you can't dance and then you learn and you are nailing it, would you want to keep it a secret?
Mr. Thomas
No, you don't want to keep it a secret, but you have to.
May Martin
Why?
Fortune Feimster
Because that's the only way you get that power.
Mr. Thomas
That's the only way you get that power.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, with great power.
Mr. Thomas
But also I really desire to. Like, I've always wished I was one of those people that was born and was like, I just gotta dance.

Podcast Summary: Handsome Episode featuring Anna Kendrick on Secret Talents
Release Date: February 25, 2025
The "Handsome" podcast, hosted by comedians Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin under the Headgum banner, welcomes listeners to another entertaining episode where they delve into a question posed by a guest. This week's episode features the acclaimed actress Anna Kendrick, who inquires about the hosts' secret talents.
Fortune Feimster opens the episode by expressing excitement about recording the podcast in person at the Headgum Studios, marking a return after months of remote recordings due to filming commitments abroad.
Mae Martin shares her recent work achievements, including wrapping up Season One of "Starfleet Academy," highlighting her joy in returning home and spending time with her family.
The hosts enthusiastically introduce Anna Kendrick as the episode's special guest, acknowledging her illustrious career with nominations across major award platforms like the Oscars, Tonys, and Emmys.
Anna Kendrick poses a thought-provoking question to the hosts: "If you could be the best in the world at something but nobody could know about it, what would it be?"
Fortune reveals her desire to master piano, emphasizing the personal joy it would bring her despite the inability to share this talent publicly.
