Handsome records a song!

Summary

Handsome – "Handsome records a song!" (December 31, 2025)

Episode Overview

In this festive and experimental episode of "Handsome," comedians Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin leave their usual format behind to fulfill a running joke: they form a band, write and record a holiday song from scratch, and build a website to host it—all in real time and with their signature irreverent humor. Fueled by holiday spirit (and a Squarespace partnership), the trio mix banter with bouts of creativity, producing a hilarious, oddly heartwarming musical collaboration.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Setting the Scene and The Premise

• The Setup: Mae Martin introduces the special episode and explains the impetus—the joke about starting a band and recording a hit single became reality thanks to encouragement from their sponsor, Squarespace. (01:46)
• Meta Moments: The hosts repeatedly reference the episode's self-aware specialness ("It's a holiday miracle, guys" – Tig, 02:01) and their sense of comedic destiny ("This is why we have to be really careful what we say on the pod, because sometimes it comes to life." – Tig Notaro, 02:01).

Brainstorming the “Handsome” Holiday Song

• Band Goals: The crew delight in the specificity of their mission—writing the “greatest song ever written and recorded” (Fortune, 03:06) and making it a holiday classic, aspiring to the heights of Mariah Carey and George Michael. (03:12)
• Musical Talents (or Not): Banter ensues as the hosts joke about their dubious musical chops: “I’m one of the best out there. Why are you laughing?” (Fortune, 04:17), poking fun at each other’s skills and establishing their trio as comedic first, musical maybe.
• Emotional Touchstones: Conversation shifts whimsically to childhood, holiday wishes, Sister Act (with Mae and Tig passionately debating sequels), and the importance of bringing their unique perspectives to the lyrics. (05:10–06:06)

Songwriting Process: Structuring and Content

• Inclusivity and Uniqueness: The group agree on each having their own verse in their preferred style, plus a shared chorus (09:07). They riff on being “unique” and how everyone (even listeners) is special—“It’s so good to be uni–… unique. New York.” (Tig and Mae, 09:06).
• Laugh-out-loud Digressions: Mae and Tig get sidetracked by Tig’s recent fingerprinting appointment (“He put on rubber gloves, I guess this doesn't sound intimate”) and the odd intimacy of bureaucracy, showcasing the group's penchant for absurd tangents. (10:22–11:13)
• Romancing the Audience: Tig suggests the song should include a flirtatious appeal to the listeners, “like a little Boyz to Men, actually” (12:11), adding a layer of tongue-in-cheek sensuality to their holiday endeavor.

Recording “Holiday Wishes”: The Big Musical Moment

• In the Studio (or Living Room): After a break to write their verses, the team jumps into their (hilariously minimal) recording process, each taking a turn:
  • Tig opens: “The hollabobs are that time of year to keep it handsome and spread good cheer…” (15:56)
  • Mae’s wishful verse: “To sing at church next to an exec on a big talent search...” (16:37)
  • Fortune/Tig channel rap and trivia: “My name is Tig and I’m here to wish / to always be handsome… I’m gonna wrap my part while we hear a Mae fact about Bonaparte.” (17:17)
  • Bonus: A spoken interlude about Napoleon’s romance novel adds quirky trivia (“In 1795 Napoleon Bonaparte wrote a romance novel.” – Tig and Mae, 17:36).
• Chorus Magic: The chorus underscores themes of togetherness and podcasting kinship:
  • “Making handsome holiday wishes while you wash the dishes and listen to the pod / Keep it handsome with you…” (16:11)
• Celebratory Reaction: Pride abounds after playback:
  • “Damn, we’re good!” (Fortune, 18:09)
  • “What a podcast.” (Backup chorus, 18:11)

Building the Handsome Band Website

• Jumping Into Tech: They turn their attention to building the Squarespace site—admitting their collective lack of tech savvy and relying on Thomas Willette’s guidance (19:01). The mood oscillates between giddy, lost, and self-congratulatory.
• Choosing a Domain and Template: “It’s handsomebandsome.com” (Thomas, 20:35). The group debates site layout, theme (aliens vs. album cover), and color scheme—living up to their “chaotic” brand. (21:01–22:45)
  • “I like the black with flurries” (Fortune, 27:12)
• Meta Commentary: “Why didn’t we do this sooner? …Nobody asked us to.” (Fortune, 26:02)
• Final Touches: Playful wrangling over copy (“We hope it fills your hearts with joy and stuff and things” – Fortune, 30:20), selfie quality, filters, and favorite snowflakes, all while celebrating their “uniqueness.” (28:14–31:19)

Episode Tone and Style

Throughout, the episode is marked by the hosts’ warmth, lightly chaotic creativity, and unscripted fun, with much of the joy coming from jokes-at-each-other’s-expense, half-serious brainstorming, and playful emotionality. They readily poke fun at their musical abilities, Squarespace tutorials, and even their teamwork, always looping back to their affection and the theme that what makes them (and the show) special is their uniqueness and togetherness.

---

Final Thoughts

For listeners who want a dose of Handsome’s signature chemistry, wit, and community spirit—plus a peek at their “musical” side—this episode’s a winner. The band may be tongue-in-cheek, but their celebration of friendship and creativity rings sincerely, making their "Holiday Wishes" song and shiny new website a genuine (if only slightly absurd) holiday treat.

[Narrator/Host]

On a Wednesday.

[May Martin]

On a.

[Fortune Feimster]

On hump day. On hump day. Marie. Marie.

[Tig Notaro]

It's a holiday miracle, guys. This is why we have to be really careful what we say on the pod, because sometimes it comes to life. It becomes real. Yeah. And that's what's happened today. I'm really pumped. I feel like we're finally, like, taking something off the list in a way.

[May Martin]

We are very much ticking something off the list. We said we wanted to start a Handsome band.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, a handsome band. Do a song on a Wednesday.

[Fortune Feimster]

We wanted to start a band on a Wednesday.

[May Martin]

Very much on a Wednesday.

[Tig Notaro]

On New Year's Eve, no less.

[Fortune Feimster]

That is very specific.

[May Martin]

Starting the new ending. The new ending.

[Tig Notaro]

The ending the year.

[Fortune Feimster]

We know what you mean.

[Tig Notaro]

We know what you mean.

[May Martin]

Starting a new year and checking something off the list.

[Tig Notaro]

Our friends at Squarespace heard this, and they've now kind of are very good friends. Are very, very close. Friends.

[May Martin]

We love our friends at Squarespace.

[Tig Notaro]

They've now corralled us into actually producing a song.

[May Martin]

And I said, if you guys make a song, you can build a website on Squarespace that will host this song for people to listen to.

[Tig Notaro]

What's the point of making a song if you're not going to try to get the people on board?

[Fortune Feimster]

They also did specify it has to be the greatest song ever written and recorded.

[May Martin]

A lovely holiday song, too.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

They wanted a holiday classic Y, which is a Deliver Allah.

[May Martin]

Mariah Carey. Yeah. Allah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I feel like George Michael.

[May Martin]

I feel like we're going to be able to create something pretty magical. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Not a doubt in my mind.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

No, no. We all waltzed in here today. Like, all right, let's get this done.

[Fortune Feimster]

First of all, we learned to waltz.

[May Martin]

We did learn to waltz.

[Fortune Feimster]

And. And we waltz in here, actually.

[May Martin]

Which they didn't get it on Waltzer.

[Fortune Feimster]

I am too, actually. We did it on Star Trek. You did waltzed on Starchild season two. Just hold on to your ponti.

[May Martin]

Maybe you and I can waltz sometime.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hey, Fortune, what about me?

[May Martin]

You too?

[Fortune Feimster]

Is there a three person waltz?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God. Why isn't there any three person ballroom dance where you have your arms like this?

[Fortune Feimster]

Rubbles are popping up left and right.

[Tig Notaro]

Left and right and center, I guess. Okay, well, that's also on the list.

[May Martin]

Okay, so we're gonna have to today write a song. We're gonna have to come up with a Holly Bob's holiday song.

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You have any ideas?

[May Martin]

Do you like singing, Tig?

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

I love it.

[May Martin]

You do?

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm one of the best out there. Why are you laughing?

[Tig Notaro]

I feel like I've heard you say before, I don't know, that you don't like singing.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, well, things change.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow.

[Narrator/Host]

You.

[Tig Notaro]

You found your voice.

[Fortune Feimster]

I did. I found my voice. I've been working, I've been waltzing, I've been singing. You know, God, I feel like we.

[May Martin]

Are a triple threat here because we all bring something different to the table.

[Fortune Feimster]

In every category in life.

[May Martin]

All of them. I. You are a musician and the number.

[Fortune Feimster]

One person on Star Meter.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've been tracking you still.

[Tig Notaro]

And you've been paying bots to keep voting me up, right?

[Fortune Feimster]

Keeping the bots.

[May Martin]

I sing at church. We all know this every Sunday.

[Fortune Feimster]

And by the way, can you imagine.

[May Martin]

If that's what I did every Sunday?

[Tig Notaro]

I would not be that shocked.

[May Martin]

My mom would love it, but I don't.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you love the movie Sister Act?

[May Martin]

Oh, of course.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, that's you gotta make a sequel.

[May Martin]

But do you like Sister act one or two better? Two is like, very close to my.

[Tig Notaro]

Heart, I think two. That might be one of the.

[May Martin]

That's where we found Lauryn Hill.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you like Sister Act 3?

[May Martin]

Is there a third one?

[Thomas Willette]

I don't know.

[Fortune Feimster]

I was just wondering if you do. I think there's a third one.

[Tig Notaro]

There's gotta be.

[May Martin]

But that movie was very instrumental in my high school years.

[Fortune Feimster]

Sister act threesome.

[Tig Notaro]

Sister act threesome.

[May Martin]

There else. Yeah, I don't know.

[Fortune Feimster]

But wait, are you hearing my new sister act threesome?

[Tig Notaro]

It's a.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's be like three musical nuns hook up.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Really? Yeah. This sounds dirty. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, anyway, look who's being dirty today.

[Thomas Willette]

I know.

[May Martin]

Well, it's New Year's Eve, this one.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, I'm turning over a new leaf.

[Tig Notaro]

Tig Marie and the Underside is filthy.

[Fortune Feimster]

Absolutely.

[May Martin]

Pig Marie is the dirty bird on New Year's Eve.

[Fortune Feimster]

Dirty bird gets the worm.

[May Martin]

I guess so.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Well, if we are going to create this song, which. Which we are, we are going to do this. All the faith in the world.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's why I got up, took a shower, and headed over here.

[May Martin]

Well, I'm so glad. You smell so fresh.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night. I was too excited. Do you guys remember that I asked you what your holiday wishes are?

[Fortune Feimster]

I do, Yeah, I remember that.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I feel like that's what we should base the song around. My holiday, which has already come true because it's just to sing with my dear friends to spend New Year's Eve. Can I get my angels?

[May Martin]

Remember that time where when may. Like, I. If I could, like, make time.

[Tig Notaro]

If I could freeze time.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

Peace time.

[May Martin]

All I wanted to do is hang out with you.

[Tig Notaro]

I think I need to write about it.

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

Stopped us in our tracks, actually.

[May Martin]

We stared at you like, I need.

[Tig Notaro]

To write like a Bryan Adams style song that's like, fuck it. Stop Time. And it's about you guys.

[Fortune Feimster]

It felt like the moment in a relationship of mine years ago when the girl I was dating said, what are we going to do for Thanksgiving? And I thought, oh, wow, she thinks we're gonna be together.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

For Thanksgiving.

[Thomas Willette]

You know what?

[Tig Notaro]

I feel like it was, like, early enough in the pod that you knew me pretty well, but maybe you didn't know where I stood in terms of, like, how I felt about you guys.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you didn't know where we stood and how we felt.

[Tig Notaro]

I know. You were like, I would never.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, cowboy, you know we adore you.

[Tig Notaro]

I Know it.

[May Martin]

We do adore you.

[Fortune Feimster]

I feel supported.

[Tig Notaro]

I feel loved.

[Fortune Feimster]

And when we walk into the same room together, it's a giddy love fest. Let's be honest.

[May Martin]

It's a giddy love fest.

[Fortune Feimster]

Please, Fortune, do you like.

[May Martin]

Don't we love Tigs? Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at. I love. See, I've got real hairy legs at the moment. Because I'm trying to.

[May Martin]

We'll see what legs over here.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

Look at those little tiny legs.

[Tig Notaro]

Beautiful.

[Fortune Feimster]

Smooth. They're not tiny legs. They're just legs.

[May Martin]

They're little.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, you know what?

[May Martin]

They're like hanging off the couch. I love it. Well.

[Tig Notaro]

It'S really good.

[May Martin]

That is delight.

[Tig Notaro]

They do actually. They don't actually reach the ground.

[May Martin]

No, no.

[Fortune Feimster]

It takes.

[May Martin]

Gets back like this.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Okay. I got us off track. Holiday wishes.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[May Martin]

Holiday wish. There's so many holiday wishes.

[Tig Notaro]

We could all. We could build it into the song.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Everyone can think about what their wishes might be. Yeah, I like that. I. I want our song to be very positive and upbeat because I feel like, you know, there were some ups and downs this last year.

[Tig Notaro]

I was thinking of kind of a Leonard Cohen style.

[May Martin]

Super. So we're keeping it positive going into this new year.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you think this is symbolic of anything?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that's a message. Wow. About the bottom falling off this pod.

[May Martin]

Okay. Well, I think we should get all.

[Tig Notaro]

Of our unique styles into it.

[May Martin]

I think. Okay, here's my idea.

[Fortune Feimster]

Isn't it so fun to be unique?

[Tig Notaro]

Just to be ourselves?

[May Martin]

Just to be ourselves.

[Fortune Feimster]

I had a great feel.

[May Martin]

I think it's amazing.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's so good to be uni.

[Tig Notaro]

Unique. New York.

[May Martin]

Here's what I think. I think we should all have our own verse.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Okay. In any style you want.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

And then obviously some sort of chorus.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm shy.

[May Martin]

You're not.

[Narrator/Host]

I am.

[Tig Notaro]

Nervous music, really just.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

It's scary singing in front of people.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you like karaoke in general?

[May Martin]

Love.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. So fun. Do you like it?

[Fortune Feimster]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

I bet you. Oh, wait, you do shoop.

[May Martin]

I do shoop.

[Tig Notaro]

You know the lyrics to.

[May Martin]

Oh, no.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, you rap.

[Fortune Feimster]

I do Marky Mark and Funky Bun.

[May Martin]

Oh, that's right.

[Fortune Feimster]

Or I'll do Burning down the house.

[May Martin]

Where?

[Fortune Feimster]

365 degrees.

[May Martin]

Burning down the house.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Okay.

[May Martin]

My house.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, I can sing that. Okay. I mean, I wouldn't tell David Byrne that I said I can sing that, but I do sing it.

[May Martin]

I think we can find a way to bring your unique style.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Because that's what we have to remember is we're all unique.

[May Martin]

We're very unique.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. We're so unique. And it's special to be unique.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Not everyone is.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, no.

[Tig Notaro]

Actually.

[May Martin]

Are they.

[Tig Notaro]

They are.

[May Martin]

They are.

[Fortune Feimster]

They are.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

We take that back.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Fingerprint. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's unique.

[Tig Notaro]

I had to get my fingerprints done recently.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, boy.

[Tig Notaro]

Applying for my. I got booked.

[Fortune Feimster]

All right. We could go either way with you trying to get citizenship or prison, but. But that's what's unique about you.

[Tig Notaro]

That's what's unique about me. It was cool seeing my little. My fingerprints. I had to go into a notary because I'm applying for my green card. And then the. It was very intimate. He put on rubber gloves, I guess this doesn't sound intimate, actually.

[Fortune Feimster]

What did he do?

[Tig Notaro]

What is intimacy?

[May Martin]

Where did the rubber gloves go?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, he put on a rubber glove.

[Fortune Feimster]

Are you sure? He followed protocol.

[Tig Notaro]

And then he, like, took my hand, and he gently hold it.

[Narrator/Host]

Held it.

[Tig Notaro]

And he rolled my finger in the ink, and then he rolled it on the page. But he was in a terrible mood. It was, like, annoyed that I even came in there, but we don't like that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Did you ask him what was up?

[Tig Notaro]

I should have said, hey, man.

[May Martin]

Did you. Did you ask him what his holiday wishes were?

[Tig Notaro]

That's what I should have asked him.

[Fortune Feimster]

Way to bring it back into, so what I do.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's like you've been in the biz for a while.

[May Martin]

The biz?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

How are your voices warmed up? Hey, I. You know, I'm single, so I'm trying to find a wife.

[Fortune Feimster]

Are you?

[May Martin]

That's part of your holiday?

[Fortune Feimster]

Why not a husband?

[Tig Notaro]

Or a husband.

[Fortune Feimster]

But let's be honest.

[May Martin]

I think May's gonna end up with a lady.

[Tig Notaro]

I think it would have to be such a special man.

[May Martin]

It would have to be a dainty man.

[Tig Notaro]

Not necessarily, but just very emotionally.

[May Martin]

I think you're gonna end up with a Laney. My opinion.

[Fortune Feimster]

Listen, I think you are, too.

[Tig Notaro]

I think you are, too. Yeah. Really?

[May Martin]

To be honest. Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's where I see things going for you.

[Tig Notaro]

But maybe build into the song, like, kind of. I can try to romance the audience listening. They can.

[May Martin]

Oh, like a little Boyz to Men, actually.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Boys to men. They were so.

[May Martin]

They. They're still. I think they still perform. Of course they're.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, when I stop listening, then groups and bands are done.

[Tig Notaro]

Actually, when you leave a room, everything evaporates.

[May Martin]

Speaking of karaoke, a couple years ago for Jo Koy's birthday. Yeah. When he and Chelsea were together, she threw big.

[Fortune Feimster]

Chelsea Clinton, Chelsea Handler.

[May Martin]

She's doing my big birthday weekend. And we went to a bar that had, like, a sort of band, live band, karaoke.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I like that.

[May Martin]

And two of the guys from Boyz II Men were there.

[Tig Notaro]

No way.

[May Martin]

And we're.

[Fortune Feimster]

Why didn't you call me?

[May Martin]

It was, you know, it was so cool.

[Fortune Feimster]

I didn't stop listening to boys to men until, like, a year ago.

[May Martin]

They're amazing.

[Tig Notaro]

And did they sing their own songs?

[May Martin]

I guess they can't remember, but. And then they also sang Joe, Happy Birthday. And it was very soulful and sexy.

[Tig Notaro]

When a boy band sings Happy Birthday or like an acapella. Boy band. Happy Birthday is something that pops up a lot.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you say acapella?

[May Martin]

Acapella.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Acapella?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. You say acapella?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Like pasta.

[May Martin]

Yeah, but we say pasta. Discovered that the Canadians do it differently.

[Tig Notaro]

Acapella.

[Fortune Feimster]

I would say do it wrong.

[Narrator/Host]

Wow.

[Fortune Feimster]

Dare you.

[Tig Notaro]

But wait. Isn't okay. English is called English because it came from the English. And then isn't Canadian, like, closer to English?

[May Martin]

We don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

Anyway, I think.

[May Martin]

Here's what I think.

[Tig Notaro]

Acapella.

[May Martin]

We're gonna take a minute. Go. Each writer, own verse, and let's come back. Bring it. Bring what you got. Do it.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, do this.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's just do it. Guys, stop not doing it.

[Tig Notaro]

[May Martin]

We're about to make the best holiday wishes song ever.

[Fortune Feimster]

Whoa. I've done this before. I've been in a studio before.

[Tig Notaro]

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You're like the George Martin of the group.

[Fortune Feimster]

For sure it's not the Teddy Templeman.

[Tig Notaro]

Who's Teddy Temple?

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know. Produce Van Halen.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh.

[May Martin]

Love it. Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

[Tig Notaro]

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

The hollabobs are the time of year to keep it handsome and spread good cheer Pretty ladies and ladies staying warm by the fire Ask yourself what do you desire?

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

Making handsome holiday wishes While you wash the dishes and listen to the pot Keep it handsome with you Making handsome holiday wishes this is what our bliss is Chatting with friends we'll keep it.

[May Martin]

Handsome with you My holiday wish is.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

To sing it to church Next to an exec on a big talent search. They'll hear my voice and then my plan is to sing on the stage with May, Ting and Alanis.

Making handsome holiday wishes While you wash the dishes and listen to the pot we keep it handsome with you Making handsome holiday wishes this is what our bliss is Chat with friends and keeping hands with you.

[Fortune Feimster]

My name is Tig and I'm here to wish to always be handsome. You better work for my holiday wish I'm gonna wrap my part while we hear a May fact about Bonaparte.

[Narrator/Host]

Hey, girl. I know you've been lonely this year, but this holiday season, I just want you to remember, in 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte.

[Tig Notaro]

Wrote a romance novel.

[May Martin]

Oh, that's so interesting.

[Fortune Feimster]

Matter of fact, yeah.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

Making handsome holiday wishes While you wash the dishes and listen to the pot we keep in handsome with you Making handsome holiday wishes this is what our bliss is Chat with friends Keeping handsome with you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Damn, we're good.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

What a podcast.

[Thomas Willette]

Whoa.

[May Martin]

Nice, guys.

[Fortune Feimster]

Nailed it.

[May Martin]

I mean, we are good at what.

[Fortune Feimster]

We do, and we are unique.

[Tig Notaro]

Come on, God, we're unique. You guys, we really might need to.

[May Martin]

Keep this handsome man going.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my.

[Tig Notaro]

Serious?

[May Martin]

I think it might have to go beyond the holidays.

[Tig Notaro]

How do we follow that, though?

[May Martin]

Well, I think we have to get this up on the website.

[Tig Notaro]

We're going to burst onto the scene with this as our first single.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, and Valentine's Day is the next Holiday.

[May Martin]

So we could do a sexy song.

[Tig Notaro]

Like a Marvin Gay style.

[May Martin]

That's a good idea, girl.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. I'm really nervous to build this website. Okay.

[May Martin]

Thomas is going to help us. We're going to build our Squarespace website because we want this song to just be available to whoever wants to partake in holiday wishes.

[Tig Notaro]

I wouldn't describe us as, like, the most tech savvy. You're pretty good. Fortune.

[May Martin]

I've never built a website before, but I like that this just sort of walks you through it. And anybody that wants a website can build one.

[Tig Notaro]

Like Tig. And I struggle to even record the pod sometimes even to get out of bed. Yeah. To get the sound right. So many times I'm like, no one can hear me, and I can hear no one. And I have no idea.

[Fortune Feimster]

But, you know, it's like life, you know, Half of it is you just.

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

You show up.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And that's what we've done. We've shown up with an intention.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And it. And we're gonna. We're gonna go through this manifest, this website.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, people say it's easy on Squarespace, so we're gonna find out.

[Fortune Feimster]

Squarespace says it's easy.

[Tig Notaro]

That's true.

[May Martin]

I did love this process of singing that song with y'. All. I giggled a lot, like a little school girl.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, me too. It's very joyful.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's great to have that feeling. It's hard to get that feeling when you're an adult sometimes to go have a childlike giggle.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it really is.

[May Martin]

Those are some.

[Fortune Feimster]

Am I right?

[Tig Notaro]

You're right.

[Narrator/Host]

Thomas, how are you feeling about helping us do this?

[Thomas Willette]

I'm excited. So the first thing I did was I got us a domain.

[May Martin]

What is it?

[Fortune Feimster]

We have a domain.

[Thomas Willette]

We have a domain.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

Girl. Thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

You're welcome, Thomas. Boy, should we. Girl, does it work to go?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God.

[May Martin]

That's a. That's a. So start.

[Tig Notaro]

And what's the sort of. I guess we're gonna have to decide, like, the home page or picture or banner or something.

[Thomas Willette]

Yeah, you'll see it all up. Do you guys see it up on the tv? Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

What's your site about?

[Thomas Willette]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

So bringing handsome.

[Thomas Willette]

What do you want to type in?

[Narrator/Host]

Bringing Handsome.

[Tig Notaro]

Music to the people.

[Fortune Feimster]

Sex.

[May Martin]

Comedy. Comedy. Music. Entertainment.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, it has to be one of those categories.

[Thomas Willette]

Music.

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah, music.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, that's a great idea.

[Thomas Willette]

There we go.

[Tig Notaro]

Bands. Musicians.

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

That's us.

[Tig Notaro]

That's us.

[May Martin]

We're a band now. Yeah, we're in a band. Let's send invoices.

[Tig Notaro]

We've got to start taking this seriously.

[May Martin]

We want to just sell on demand videos. We want to showcase our work.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Showcase our work.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

And build community.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Narrator/Host]

And we want to sell access to group events.

[May Martin]

And I'd love to get appointments.

[Tig Notaro]

I would love to get some appointments.

[May Martin]

I think that's good. Showcasing our work. Yeah, we don't need get appointments. That will confuse it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Get appointments.

[May Martin]

All right.

[Fortune Feimster]

We also do nails.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Choose a template.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, look at the aliens.

[Thomas Willette]

So these are all customizable, but it's sort of like this is our starting point.

[Fortune Feimster]

I like that person with the sunglasses houses.

[May Martin]

Aliens One. Hello down there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, yeah. We could be three aliens. We could put our backs up.

[Tig Notaro]

Goth styling. Dumb.

[May Martin]

These are all beautiful, I'll say that much. My God, we're gonna be a very good looking band.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God.

[May Martin]

The handsome bansom.

[Tig Notaro]

If you go back up a bit, Thomas. We like the alien one because there's three of them. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hello down there. We could be talking to grandma's problem area.

[May Martin]

And we just put. Where it says hello there. We just put handsome. The handsome band.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And then underneath it's like.

[Tig Notaro]

And we could probably pick a different photo than the aliens.

[May Martin]

Oh, actually, you know what? The alien one seems like a different vibe. I think we should focus more music. Oh, yeah, that one says new album. Yeah, let's do that one.

[Thomas Willette]

Sydney.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I think keeping it simple.

[Thomas Willette]

Okay.

[May Martin]

Keeping it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Keeping it handsome. Yeah. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Okay, that one. And then click that. And then grab that. Drag it over that.

[May Martin]

Drag it. Yeah. I think we put.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, that's good.

[May Martin]

I think we put the handsome band where Sydney is.

[Thomas Willette]

Let me show you guys.

[Fortune Feimster]

Great idea.

[Thomas Willette]

Okay. This. This is something cool. So under colors, I can go to customize it.

[May Martin]

Oh, yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

And then I can go to edit palette.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wow.

[Thomas Willette]

I'm gonna upload the actual logo. And then these are all actually colors that are from our handsome logo.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God.

[Fortune Feimster]

You think?

[Thomas Willette]

We're sure. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

What do you want this to say? It doesn't have to say a day. It can say by the handsome band.

[Tig Notaro]

No, because that's going to be the big writing. Right. So maybe. Maybe.

[May Martin]

Unless it. Unless there. You put the. And then handsome band big.

[Tig Notaro]

[Tig Notaro]

What I want is, like, what do you want? If I ever, God forbid, pass away, then I want.

[Fortune Feimster]

You will, by the way.

[May Martin]

Oh. One day. Hopefully not.

[Tig Notaro]

I want, like in my biography, I want this band to be the number.

[Fortune Feimster]

One thing known mainly from the hands and band.

[Tig Notaro]

Holiday Wishes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

One of the singers from Holiday Wishes.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Look at that.

[Fortune Feimster]

That looks awesome. I love that. I honestly can't believe how easy this is.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, why didn't we do this sooner?

[Tig Notaro]

Why are.

[Fortune Feimster]

Nobody asked us to.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Nobody asked for this. But we are delivering.

[May Martin]

I just love that we're gonna have a website up and a song out immediately.

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love that we have a band.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

So I'm just gonna create a nice handsome green here.

[Fortune Feimster]

Green's my favorite color. Have you seen me travel with green jacket and green suitcases?

[May Martin]

It looks really good. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Has it always been your favorite color, bean?

[Fortune Feimster]

No. I used to love black and red.

[Tig Notaro]

Not everyone can pull off wearing red. You could. You could wear like a. I can see you in like a red matching sweatsuit. That'd be nice.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

Why don't we do this? Because this is going to change the whole look is change the bat, the actual background away from this. Because this isn't really?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

Holiday.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. We need a new background.

[Tig Notaro]

We don't want this mustard seed or whatever.

[May Martin]

So perfect.

[Tig Notaro]

I love it. What options do they have for backgrounds?

[May Martin]

Oh, we need to. Let's look up winter or snow.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, Fortune, that's a good idea.

[May Martin]

Thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

Really good. Oh, wow. Look how magical that is.

[Fortune Feimster]

I like the black women.

[Tig Notaro]

I like the black. The black with the flurries.

[Thomas Willette]

Which one?

[Fortune Feimster]

Black with black with flurries.

[May Martin]

The second. Maybe the second.

[Tig Notaro]

Black with flurries for 500.

[May Martin]

That one.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

That's nice. And then we would just change the writing to.

[Fortune Feimster]

You don't want them. The writing black.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

You guys like that one?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I like that. And then if the writing's green or the.

[May Martin]

Or the writing's red. Red.

[Tig Notaro]

Red. Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

Red riding.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Red riding, red writing.

[May Martin]

Red writing. The writing.

[Fortune Feimster]

This is.

[May Martin]

Now we're talking.

[Fortune Feimster]

Now we're talking.

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

It has kind of a cool 90s feel.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's so us.

[Tig Notaro]

That is so. Which snowflake are you, girl?

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God.

[Squarespace Ad Voice]

Girl.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm the one right under the H. I'm. I think that's obvious.

[Tig Notaro]

That's just half tucked away at the top there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Huh? Fortune's not even on there.

[May Martin]

That's right.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Make that red also. There you go.

[May Martin]

Are we able to get the enhancement closer together? Oh, there we go.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's a good idea.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune, fortunately, is. You've got a marketing brain. Like, she's good.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

It's like you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Have you done this before? Have you made a squarespace?

[May Martin]

I've never done this.

[Fortune Feimster]

What about a band?

[May Martin]

Have you remembered? Never been in a band either.

[Fortune Feimster]

Never written a holiday song.

[May Martin]

Never wrote a holiday.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hot potato.

[May Martin]

I have not done that either.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, if we find out that you have another band.

[May Martin]

You guys, I would never. I would never betray you like that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Look me in the eye and tell me.

[May Martin]

Tig.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

I don't have another band.

[Fortune Feimster]

Look me in my droopy eye and you tell me.

[May Martin]

Hey, droopy eye.

[Fortune Feimster]

Does my eye. Is it drooping right now? This one.

[May Martin]

It doesn't seem droopy. I thought you got a fix.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, I can't until March.

[Thomas Willette]

Oh, okay. Now we should add the song.

[Backup Singer/Chorus]

Yeah, we should.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's add the song. What if we forgot to add the song?

[May Martin]

Don't do that. That girl. Girl. I like a. Listen up. I like the top left one.

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah. Simple.

[May Martin]

Keep it simple. Keep it handsome.

[Tig Notaro]

We'll keep it handsome.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I like that we're yelling at listeners.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Listen up.

[May Martin]

Listen up. Or we just put listen, listen I'm.

[Thomas Willette]

Gonna put this one under. So now when we scroll down.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, girl. Well done, girl.

[Tig Notaro]

We are cooking with gas.

[Thomas Willette]

Okay, do you want to put a little message here to the listener?

[Fortune Feimster]

How about, like, listen with caution?

[May Martin]

Check out the handsome man's first ever single and final.

[Tig Notaro]

First and last single.

[Fortune Feimster]

Final.

[Tig Notaro]

[Fortune Feimster]

With joy and stuff.

[May Martin]

Are we keeping listen up?

[Tig Notaro]

Maybe we lose the amen.

[Fortune Feimster]

What about with joy and stuff and things?

[May Martin]

Yeah, and take out Amen and things. Do we want to put listen or listen up?

[Tig Notaro]

Check it out, check it out, check it out. That's very modern. And check it.

[May Martin]

There we go. Check it out. Oh, we do say it twice.

[Tig Notaro]

No, no, it's too aggressive. It's making me feel sweaty.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love it.

[May Martin]

Do we want check it out twice?

[Fortune Feimster]

If you're naughty, you're nice.

[Thomas Willette]

This could be listened to.

[May Martin]

Yeah, there you go.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wait, you guys don't, like, check it out.

[May Martin]

Whatever.

[Tig Notaro]

Listen, May. It's what makes you do drugs.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you won't let us say, I.

[Tig Notaro]

Was the politest drug addict of all time.

[Fortune Feimster]

Check it out.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, okay.

[Thomas Willette]

Make this red, too.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Okay, Thomas, now you're.

[Fortune Feimster]

And why are we taking the eye out?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that's good.

[May Martin]

No, I do like that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Thomas Willette]

And then this. I will add the song in once it's mixed.

[May Martin]

That's right, because we gotta mix it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Should we put in, like, a mug full of soynog?

[Thomas Willette]

I have a pitch, which is that you could all take a selfie right now and then send it to me and I can upload it to the website.

[May Martin]

It's that easy, man. Who wants to take it?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I thought it was individual selfies.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, a group.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Thomas Willette]

I think a group.

[May Martin]

I have a big old zit on my face.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, well, it's. Then you're like Rudolph here.

[May Martin]

Hanson's behind us. May, come over here.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

We could do it like Charlie's Angels.

[Tig Notaro]

How are our droopy eyes?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Host]

Happy with that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let me see.

[May Martin]

Yep.

[Thomas Willette]

Okay, so let's replace this with Santa Claus.

[May Martin]

Santa baby.

[Tig Notaro]

Krampus. Krampus is like the sort of evil version of Santa. Right?

[Thomas Willette]

Anyway, with this.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, put that in there.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my gosh. I cannot even believe how cute we are.

[Tig Notaro]

We should have, because we just filter on that.

[May Martin]

Oh, guys, do you want me to put a filter on.

[Fortune Feimster]

Look how shiny.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my face.

[May Martin]

Shiny.

[Narrator/Host]

Wow.

[Fortune Feimster]

No one can say we didn't shower.

[May Martin]

Thomas, put a filter on that later.

[Thomas Willette]

I'll do a little tinkering later.

[Fortune Feimster]

Thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, but this is really nice.

[Fortune Feimster]

Can you take my gray out my yellow teeth?

[May Martin]

This is just us judging ourselves now.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I love it.

[May Martin]
