In classic Handsome style, the conversation zigzags through wild LA fire stories, haunted hotels in Banff, comedic asides, and heartfelt anecdotes—before landing on a spirited debate about food snobbery, “problematic” palates, and why strong mayonnaise convictions might make you untrustworthy.

The Question: "What Food Opinion Instantly Makes You Distrust a Person?"

[38:54] – Segment begins with Fortune teeing up Kristen Kish.

Kristen Kish’s Food Red Flag

[43:57] Kristen Kish:

"What food opinion instantly makes you distrust a person? Really think about it."

Hosts' Answers & Spirited Discussion

Tig Notaro’s Take: Judging Veganism

• Announcing her veganism as “breaking news” ([43:46]).
• Dislikes people who have strong, uninformed opinions about vegan diets, especially the baseless "protein concern."
  • Quote: “People are convinced...you can’t get protein on that diet, and it’s just not true.” – Tig ([44:26])

Mae Martin: Fast Food Deniers

• Distrusts people who claim to dislike any and all fast food ("You just want to sound superior.”)
  • Quote: “If people are like, ‘I don’t like any fast food,’...you’re just trying to be kind of…” ([49:00])

Fortune Feimster: Dessert Shamers & Picky Eaters

• Calls out those who say desserts are “too rich” after a single bite ([52:34]), and people who refuse to even try something unfamiliar.
  • Quote: “It’s a dessert. That’s what it’s supposed to be doing for us...It’s a treat!” ([52:54])
• Recalls her own evolving palate: “Growing up in small town North Carolina, I wouldn’t eat, like, onions or tomatoes...but as I got older, I would allow myself to...just try it. You might like it.” ([54:09])

Food Palate Evolution & Stories

• All agree: taste buds change over time, sometimes dramatically (e.g., Tig on vegan mac ‘n’ cheese, Mae and Rice-a-Roni) ([51:04]-[52:28]).
• Tig shares the infamous "bad cappuccino at the Oscars" incident, where at least 15 people tried her notably awful drink. ([56:01]-[58:55])
  • Quote: “It became this joke where everybody was in and they were like, ‘okay, I’ll do it.’” – Tig ([58:43])

Kristen Kish’s Mayonnaise Ick

[61:01] Kristen Kish:

“It is the people that don’t like mayonnaise, and when you say, what food do you really hate? ‘Oh, mayonnaise,’ and then they start immediately, dry heaving...How old are you?...Also, the people that say, I don’t like mayonnaise, but they love aioli. Come on, give me a break.”

• Condemns dramatic, childlike reactions to mayo; calls out hypocrisy (aioli fans who hate mayo).
  • Quote: “Mayonnaise is delicious. It’s a vehicle. It’s fat…it is delicious. It’s oil and eggs, and then sometimes maybe a little acid and some salt...” ([61:32])

Comedic Mayo Tangent

• Mae and Tig recall a comedian eating a full jar of mayo on stage as a challenge ([62:35]-[63:28]).

• Comedic, casual language (“quack quacks,” “scandalize,” “the Boss bear,” “mayonnaise weirdos”).

---

Summary for New Listeners

If you missed this episode, you’ll learn:

• That trust issues can often be traced to intense food opinions, especially about vegan diets, fast food, mayonnaise, and desserts.
• How irksome a performative anti-mayo gag reflex can be (Kristen’s pet peeve).
• That the Handsome crew is as likely to dive into stories about LA arson and haunted hotels as about quirks of the palate.
• The line between honest taste evolution and foodie pretension is thin—and hilariously ripe for debate.

Memorable moment: Tig’s son—stuck in a sea of older girls at volleyball camp—opts to dig his own lunch hole, and Kristen Kish’s scathing, heartfelt defense of mayonnaise.

---

Final Thoughts

This is a quintessential "Handsome" episode: a warm, chaotic, and wickedly funny journey from crisis to comedy, all while getting (mostly) to the heart of food-related trust issues.
If you ever dramatically pretend to gag when someone mentions mayo, just know Kristen Kish is watching—and judging.

Handsome.

[Fortune Feimster]

We're handsome.

[Tig Notaro]

We are handsome. And we talk like this.

[Fortune Feimster]

I just took a shower. Do you like my slick back hair like I'm in the Outsiders? Yes, except you're coming, pony boy.

[May Martin]

I love it. And then I saw. I mean, Tig, you won't have seen this because you're not on Instagram, but I saw that Fortune posted a picture of her with straight hair and it is something to see. It is something to behold.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, can you pull it up, Thomas, and give me a peek?

[Fortune Feimster]

See?

[Tig Notaro]

And why is it recent that you had straight hair? Or is this.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was for Keenan Kenan Thompson sitcom this. So this would have been like 2020

[Tig Notaro]

and that's how your hair was on the show.

[Fortune Feimster]

They straightened it. So unfortunately.

[May Martin]

Should I bring this back. Should I do this again?

[Fortune Feimster]

It was like a. It was. They straightened it, and it was kind of a mullet.

[Kristen Kish]

And it was.

[Tig Notaro]

Every time you were on the show.

[Fortune Feimster]

Every time. There I am.

[May Martin]

Wait,

[Fortune Feimster]

there it was. There it is right there.

[Tig Notaro]

That is good.

[Fortune Feimster]

Looking at that mullet. It was a lot on my hair, though. It doesn't like to be straightened every. Like, every day.

[May Martin]

It takes a lot of heat.

[Fortune Feimster]

Pressure.

[Tig Notaro]

It's a lot of heat.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay. And these curls are, like, screaming at me.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

But they thought it was hilarious. Who?

[Tig Notaro]

The listener. Your followers know the.

[Fortune Feimster]

The show. That's why they. Oh, it was their idea, not mine, to. To have that hair.

[Tig Notaro]

And what brought it up for you? To put. Put it on your Instagram.

[Fortune Feimster]

Every now and then I'll do like a throwback to a show that I did.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And that hair style made me laugh. So, yeah. Just wanted to give it a little moment.

[Tig Notaro]

And your followers were delighted.

[May Martin]

I was delighted.

[Fortune Feimster]

May was delighted, which is all I long for. And I. You know, some people were like, that's hilarious. Bring it back. Other people are like, don't ever do that again.

[May Martin]

That's terrible. And then they're probably. There's a contingent of people who have that hair that are like, great. That looks great. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. What's the problem?

[Fortune Feimster]

Myself in you. Yeah,

[Tig Notaro]

that's for sure. How that person talks. Yes.

[May Martin]

Well, you're not gonna believe this. I just. I just woke up. I slept from 11pm until noon today.

[Fortune Feimster]

You were a tired little cowboy.

[May Martin]

I have not been able to do that in, like, years. And normally I can't. Like, I just wake up. But something. I was deep out because there was a lot of drama at Casa Cowboy.

[Tig Notaro]

I was gonna say. Is there emotional stuff? Is there emotional?

[Fortune Feimster]

Emotional, Baby.

[May Martin]

That's like my theme song.

[Fortune Feimster]

What happened?

[May Martin]

Well, I mean, it's not actually funny, but I. So I. I was having a massage. I get out, I got a text from my friend Matt. Oh, no, not a horny massage.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, not a horny massage. Okay. Regular.

[May Martin]

A regular rejuvenation, ex platonic massage. And I get out and I have a text from my roommate, the Matt who lives here. And he's like, hey, buddy, are you home? And I'm walking up to my house, and there's a fire truck.

[Tig Notaro]

And your house fell off.

[Fortune Feimster]

I thought he. I thought he was going to say the guest house fell off the mountain. Hey, buddy, you up?

[May Martin]

No, but the brush beside my house, like, had lit. I mean, had gone up and it almost reached my wooden gate and. Oh, this is the second time it happened like a week ago, but a smaller version, I guess. There's unhoused people that live in the brush there and they were cooking something.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

But this time it really. Three palm trees went up. Then the firemen came. Two of the firemen had to go to hospital. One smoke inhalation and one got like an allergic reaction to a plant. Anyway, it was wild and what the heck. And before the fire truck got there, like, we were just taking little buckets of water. Well, they left and then it was still on fire. We didn't know what to do. We called them back. It was so crazy and so close to my house. Like, I can't even tell you, able

[Fortune Feimster]

to reach where the flames were with the yellow buckets of water.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it's right. It's right.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't even understand how an unhoused person could even spend any time back there. Because it's a cliff.

[May Martin]

There's a little. There's. It's like three feet probably on one section in the brush. But now it's all burned out. And the crazy thing is. So I was. After the fire trucks left, I was like dumping water because it was still smoking and. Yeah, because they had got it out. And then it kind of came back.

[Fortune Feimster]

What happened with the Palisades fire? It like laid dormant for a week?

[May Martin]

Yeah, for a week. Oh, fuck. Okay. But then my neighbor came out and he was like, yeah, it's an arsonist. I saw a guy with a lighter come and do it and he said, it's the third time recently. And he said, I saw this guy. I know, I'm really freaked out. And I went, I. I called them back and I was like, the neighbor saw a guy lighting it and they were like, well, if you see him again, call. Call the police. But, yeah, pretty freaky scary.

[Tig Notaro]

That is terrifying.

[Fortune Feimster]

These things get out of hand.

[May Martin]

I know. So I've ordered like a big hose.

[Tig Notaro]

So your body was like, there's an arsonist behind the house. I'm going to sleep.

[May Martin]

Yeah. My body was like, well, goodbye.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah. I didn't.

[Fortune Feimster]

This.

[May Martin]

I didn't come here for this.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wake me up when this nightmare is over.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Seriously? Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

So that is really scary.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I know.

[May Martin]

There's something really unsettling about an arsonist.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's when it's very dry in California and California can just go up and smoke at any second.

[May Martin]

I know, I know. It's so dry.

[Fortune Feimster]

I. I don't understand this. That crazy ass compulsion to do that. Well, I Heard of several sexual fires have been started by arsonists.

[May Martin]

Apparently a big part of it is like a fire fetish, like wanting to. And then when we were putting the buckets on and I kept thinking, is there someone like watching us somewhere? Like watching the reaction and enjoying it? So that was really creepy. So I'm not really sure what to do because.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Can you like coat your house in some anti fire spell or.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, just from watching all the fire footage for the two weeks last. When was that? Two years ago? Yeah, some people buy one of those.

[Tig Notaro]

The.

[Fortune Feimster]

There's like a sprinkler on a stand like they put on their roofs and stuff. I mean, but that's like.

[May Martin]

I bought four fire blankets, two extinguishers and one big hose. And I'm just.

[Tig Notaro]

Did you use the fire blankets for your nap?

[May Martin]

Yeah. Then I got real cozy under there. They were so cozy.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it seems like something. I mean, I would join forces with your assistant and do a massive Google up about what the hell to do, because I. I would. That's really concerning. And so Matt was home when that happened.

[May Martin]

Thank God. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. So he was freaking out. His text was very calm, though. Hey, buddy, you coming anytime soon?

[Fortune Feimster]

The hill.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you also on fire?

[May Martin]

But I really thought, when I saw the firemen, I thought they are. You know, I have like a. A bit of a distrust of police, like a healthy distress. I was like, firemen, they. They're just doing it to do it.

[Tig Notaro]

Headed towards danger to save others the time.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's why Tig has a fireman fantasy fetish for firemen.

[May Martin]

Well, the one that had the smoke inhalation, he took off his shirt at one point and I gotta say, he horny. He was ripped. It was. I. I was like, you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you give massages?

[Tig Notaro]

And how was his face? Was it mustache, rugged and handsome?

[May Martin]

No, to be honest, he looked about 21. He was like baby faced, hairless, ripped chest. Not to objectify him, but.

[Fortune Feimster]

But he wasn't.

[Tig Notaro]

He wasn't handsome at all.

[May Martin]

Oh, he was deeply handsome. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, he was okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

Kind, deeply handsome fella.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[May Martin]

Anyway, so that's my drama. But I slept really well, which is. It's weird that. That's the night that I slept.

[Tig Notaro]

Very odd. Very odd.

[Fortune Feimster]

You just bought you a house right in the woods and on a. On a ledge.

[Tig Notaro]

I know. We thought for sure you had purchased a safe home.

[Fortune Feimster]

I, for the record, told me, don't do it.

[May Martin]

I remember.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let the record show.

[May Martin]

Well, I'm hoping now I can Tell the city I'm pressuring them a lot. I think I can say it's a fire hazard, like if. Because if that had been covered by concrete, that wouldn't have happened, you know, but it's all just dry brush. But, yeah. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Weird.

[May Martin]

Weird times. LA is weird.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hello, city. It's May Martin.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you like la, May?

[May Martin]

I love it, but I don't. Yeah, I do. I love it, but it has a

[Fortune Feimster]

little danger to it.

[May Martin]

You know me.

[Tig Notaro]

And so do you prefer it over London or Toronto or.

[May Martin]

I loved London, But I think 12 years, I. I think I had done my time there. I just one morning was like, is

[Fortune Feimster]

it all the rain?

[May Martin]

Yeah. And being there during COVID and it was like the sky was so low and gray, and I just was dumb. But. But LA is pretty wild. I mean, the constant, like, well, the big one's coming. Who lives in a city where people say that? That's crazy.

[Fortune Feimster]

They've been saying it for 23 years, which means it's. Well, really 25 years now.

[Tig Notaro]

It is really a coming.

[Fortune Feimster]

Trying to think when the last big, big one. Was it Northridge?

[Tig Notaro]

I think so.

[Fortune Feimster]

I can't remember what year that one was. I believe it was longer than 25. Oh, 94 then.

[May Martin]

I think in my future. In my future, I'm gonna go out to the woods one day and just live like a hermit.

[Tig Notaro]

But, yeah, just make sure they're not on fire.

[May Martin]

I know.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like Henry David Thoreau.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you have that fire app?

[May Martin]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, yeah. You should get watch duty.

[May Martin]

And it's.

[Tig Notaro]

It's in your backyard.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I'm looking at, like, the biggest thing, like, oh, it's right behind me.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I. I, you know, I have trouble sleeping. It's getting better, though. And I was in Toronto working. I think it was on season one, and I don't know. I was not on fire. My apartment building was not on fire. But for some reason, I guess it was just pure exhaustion. I slept for over 12 hours, and I woke up so confused. I was like, what? Like, it made absolutely no sense because at that point, like, two years ago, I was going on, like, three hours on average, and now I'm up to, like, five to seven on average, which I would say five and a half to seven, which is so much better. I can work with that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Betty White used to sleep for four hours a night.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Really?

[Fortune Feimster]

So if she could do it, Tig can do it.

[Tig Notaro]

And I'm getting better all the time. Like, I'm. I'm really working on it, and it's It's. It's showing some results.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because at night, you're like lighting a candle.

[Tig Notaro]

No, I don't want the place to burn down.

[Fortune Feimster]

Getting yourself in the mood?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Well, I think it's partly. It's the first time in a long time that I knew that I didn't have anything until 1:15 the next day. So my brain let me. You know.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

How interesting.

[May Martin]

I don't know, but I feel like a human being again. But also, maybe the tiredness takes the edge off the anxiety because you're just a little out of it. So now I'm. Now I'm. I'm lucid. I'm present, and I'm anxious as well.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're like, may is back. You're like, I'm fully full of energy to be anxious.

[May Martin]

Ready for the Canada Qatar World cup game.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, when's that?

[May Martin]

Are you pumped tonight? Yeah, it's in a couple hours o'.

[Tig Notaro]

Clock. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Whoa. Oh, that's right. Well, my show's starting.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Where are you? I was gonna ask.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

This curtain.

[Fortune Feimster]

I am. This curtain is unknown. I'm in Port Maine, right near my brother. Oh, yeah?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. My brother lives right outside of Portland, Maine.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I'm doing two shows here, two nights. Which is rare to be in a city for two nights.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's also Gay pride weekend, so lots of gay flags around here.

[May Martin]

Oh, nice.

[Fortune Feimster]

[May Martin]

I'm going.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm going to. I'm going to. I almost did something really dirty.

[May Martin]

What did you almost.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm taking my ear buds.

[Fortune Feimster]

I almost said I would go down on a lobster roll.

[May Martin]

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Do you use that romantically?

[May Martin]

No, it really can't.

[Tig Notaro]

[Tig Notaro]

No, yeah, you're right.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Why? Because I get my little quack quacks in line.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

[May Martin]

I love when someone's a street crossing guard. Is that what they're called? Like a. Yeah. And my favorite is when it's a street that doesn't really need that. Like, it has a stoplight and, you know, and they. People take such pride in that role. And I love to. I love to say good morning. Thank you. And then.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, Toronto has a lot of those. And I would chat with those cross crossing guards.

[Tig Notaro]

Really?

[May Martin]

Toronto has a famous one on Queen Street. She likes to dance.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, really?

[May Martin]

Yeah. She's really.

[Tig Notaro]

You like small talk with a stranger?

[Fortune Feimster]

We would chat as they. As they were walking me across the street.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, sometimes I don't want to brag. They were familiar with my work.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, with your straightened hair.

[Fortune Feimster]

So we were chatting about that. You know what I mean?

[May Martin]

I. I went to Banff I just got back from Banff.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've never been great.

[May Martin]

Bamf. What a great word. I know.

[Tig Notaro]

It's so good.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've never been.

[Tig Notaro]

There's like that kind of word where you're. You start saying it and then all of a sudden your mouth throws all let at the end.

[Fortune Feimster]

Bam, bam, bam.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so beautiful there. Have you been there, Tig?

[Tig Notaro]

I have not.

[May Martin]

It's like Disney mountains, rivers. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

My friends Shannon and Jason, they went there. They went skiing, I believe, for their honeymoon.

[May Martin]

It's very romantic.

[Tig Notaro]

And they split up, too, so.

[May Martin]

Oh, great.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I. But they're friends. Everything's fine.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, good. That was our follow up question.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah, good. I was staying in this hotel that's like a castle and it's haunted. And first of all, I'd be going in the elevator and I'd hear, hi, handsome. Like, it happened like three times. And it was so nice, and it was just handsome listeners. And then. So I. I met this guy. We had a mutual friend or something, and he was like, hey, yeah. He said, I know. Brett Goldstein. And he said, last night I went to a seance in the hotel, and he was. I mean, this. The hair on his arm he showed me was standing up, just talking about it. He said I was holding this, like, divining rod that they gave me and it was spinning. He showed me videos. He was freaking out. And I was like, wow, I wish I'd been there. A few hours later, I start talking to this guy. He says, yeah, I held a seance here for people last night. And I was like, oh, my God, I heard. And he goes, we tricked them. We pranked them so much. I was like, you're kidding. The guy was all, man. Yeah. He said, we had the lights going. We had these fake, like, sound recording things. I could not believe it.

[Tig Notaro]

And. And do you think you would have fallen for it? You would have fallen for it?

[Kristen Kish]

May.

[Tig Notaro]

Of course.

[May Martin]

I would have been telling that anecdote

[Fortune Feimster]

on the phone like, ghosts are real. I'm 110, sure.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And what about you? How would you have handled that fortune?

[Fortune Feimster]

I would be, like, open to it and a little suspicious.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it sounded like it was really well produced. Like, and. And the. The hotel is famously haunted. And it sounded like they scared the shit out of these people. They went to all, like, stairwells and were like, I think they made it colder in one stairwell and things like that. Like, they really went, oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

I think I would have been open about 25% and suspicious. 75. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Because I'm always. I'm. I'm interested in. Let's. Let's see something. I. Absolutely.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, there's usually one cheesy moment where you're like, okay, yeah, yeah.

[May Martin]

Where they go a little too far.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like they're. They're killing it. And then suddenly it takes a turn. You're like, well, I know that's not real.

[May Martin]

Yeah. I mean, the seance was hosted by a former Playboy bunny who has a podcast on Paranormal Activity. So that would have been my first red flag, I think.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, yeah, ghost titties.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my. I forgot about. Yeah, ghost.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

People yell, yeah, ghost. During my show because I make a ghost reference at one point and I've had several people go, yeah, ghost.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, I would remember it if somebody yelled, yeah, ghost.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

But just in my day to day, I wouldn't hold that up.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, ghost titty situation.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

You weren't in it. I was in it.

[May Martin]

But did you. Do you ever have a thing, guys, where you're on stage and then someone yells, like a handsome reference and then you have to explain it to the rest of the audience. You're like, I do.

[Tig Notaro]

It was totally familiar with it.

[May Martin]

I find it's a mix sometimes.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, no, for sure.

[Fortune Feimster]

I leave it be. I'll let it float up there.

[May Martin]

Yeah, that's smart.

[Fortune Feimster]

Or I'll say it back to them and just not make a reference to it.

[May Martin]

Right. And just move on.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like when they can go either way. Oh, yeah, ghost. I go, yeah, ghost. And just keep going.

[Tig Notaro]

There's some people in the audience where it's like you're a little too eager to talk, you know, and so you have to kind of. I do. I. I feel like I have to steer clear, else they'll, you know.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Get to.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Get a little too.

[May Martin]

I always go. I always forget. Like you said that most of the audience might be familiar. So someone goes like Mae Marie or something. And then I spend 10 minutes going, oh, I have a podcast. And Tig Notaro is also on it. And Fortune sometimes says things that Tig has to say.

[Tig Notaro]

Thomas is the producer.

[May Martin]

Me, we're now on Hulu, but yeah,

[Tig Notaro]

you can stream us a day earlier. And so, of course, this is also a may fact. And. Yeah.

[May Martin]

So, Tig, have you been home quite a bit? Are you settled?

[Tig Notaro]

I got home like four days ago, maybe.

[May Martin]

And I guess the boys are on summer break, right?

[Tig Notaro]

I got home three days ago. Yes. And they're doing sports camps. Like they each Did a week. Yeah, you know, like Max. Yeah, Max did a week of volleyball camp and. Yes. Oh my gosh, so cute.

[May Martin]

Do they lower the net for these kids?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, here's the cute part.

[May Martin]

Don't tell me there's no net.

[Tig Notaro]

No, there is. But he was so excited for volleyball camp and he had never played in his life. But it was something he was convinced was his new passion. And he shows up, Stephanie drops him off and well, the rest of the class was 12, 13 year old girls with iced coffee and hair down to their waist and wearing ugg boots.

[Fortune Feimster]

What?

[May Martin]

Iced coffee.

[Fortune Feimster]

Quite a departure.

[Tig Notaro]

And yeah, Stephanie was like, how, how is. Because she was like, oh my God. Oh my God. As these like young girls are showing up.

[May Martin]

But because is it one of those like age. Age 9 to 13 and then something.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't really.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was all.

[Tig Notaro]

All girls. Well, I guess there's one little boy that was his age, but she was like. And you'd have to know him. But she was like, how is volleyball camp? And he goes, well, I ate my lunch in a hole I dug.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh my God.

[Tig Notaro]

So cute. I ate my lunch a hole I dug. Yeah. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Oh my God.

[Tig Notaro]

So yeah. And then Matt Finn has been going to baseball camp this week. I mean, I'm sorry, basketball and. Yeah. But it's good.

[May Martin]

That's really.

[Tig Notaro]

Things are good.

[May Martin]

I love what the things kids say

[Tig Notaro]

that like all of this interest in volleyball. Then it's like, well, I ate my whole. My. I ate my lunch in a hole I dug. Okay, good. So it went well.

[May Martin]

Oh my God. Picturing him digging that hole and then settling in there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Do you think that the two of them like. Because you and Stephanie are both funny but you have a different sense of humor in certain ways. So that your boys pick up on one of yalls styles yet?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean Max is very dry.

[May Martin]

Okay. He's very dry, but intentionally like he's trying to be funny, but he's dry

[Tig Notaro]

and he is funny.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And he wasn't trying to be funny about his lunch that he ate in the hole that he dug. That's just his personality. But yeah, he's very, very dry. And I talk on stage about how he was born 60 years old.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You know, just like when he talks and he's not being funny, he, he just is. He just. His delivery is just. It's just so it's accidentally funny, you know?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And then when he's being funny, it's, it's. The delivery is really there. That's it's good. Like today, when I was walking through the dining room, there's this box with an award I had gotten for Star Trek. And. And he was like, hey, Mayor. Or no, Was it him? Oh, yeah, yeah, Max. He goes, hey, Mayor, what. What's in this box? And I said, oh, just an award I won. And he goes, oh, yeah, no big deal. I just won an award.

[Fortune Feimster]

You know, like.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, you know, he gets. And he's. He's just. Yeah, just like, making those kind of comments to me as I'm walking off, heading upstairs to record. I'm like, you know, Max, it's no big deal. I'm just like, a big star.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm gonna go record.

[Tig Notaro]

Handsome.

[Fortune Feimster]

Just like everybody else.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, just like everybody else.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm just getting a leg in at a time.

[May Martin]

That's so good.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And then, does Finn have a different sense of humor?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, you know, he said something last night that Stephanie and I thought was so funny. He's kind of funny more accidentally because he's such a little character, but it was such a funny observation. I said something like, oh, I forgot, I have a show tonight. And then he goes, that's so funny. He was like, you're saying, oh, I forgot I have a show tonight. And then there's people that bought tickets and they're excited to go to your show. And you're like, oh, I forgot I have a show tonight. So the thought that he was like, he imagined both sides of that. And it's not that I wasn't looking forward to my show. I mean, obviously I forgot. But doesn't that happen during your day? You'll be like, oh, God, I have a show tonight for sure. And so he was teasing me about how casual I was about that. And he was like, there's people that, like, bought tickets and they're excited to see you. And you're like, oh, I forgot I have a show tonight. And so, yeah, that was really funny. Yeah, he's. He's definitely just an amusing character.

[May Martin]

Yeah, for sure.

[Tig Notaro]

Because he's very type A, very on it, very organized, very everything. And we just marvel over his. His organization. Yeah. And like, if somebody's like, what's your favorite meal? And he's like, oh, kale and water.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God, you're joking. Kale and water.

[Tig Notaro]

Kale.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. It must be cooking that kale nicely.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's raw.

[May Martin]

No, sir.

[Fortune Feimster]

It is.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it is raw. I mean, it's massaged. It's softened.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, thank God.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, boy. And it looks like Mr. Thomas has a little visitor.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Beautiful angel. This is a little pup we're fossil fostering. Her name is Honey.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Honey.

[Fortune Feimster]

I was like, I didn't know you had a dog. Look at her.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I mean, you have a dog.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And then he. One of his dogs passed recently.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, no.

[May Martin]

That's so nice that you're fostering.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And so would it help that the pup is on the podcast and maybe somebody can be like, I like him.

[May Martin]

I think we're gonna adopt her.

[Tig Notaro]

So I was about to say, I

[Fortune Feimster]

was like, this dog seems really sweet, well behaved. This dog might not be going anywhere. I think we might have to keep her.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at her. She is foster fail.

[May Martin]

Honey is settling in. Thomas, if you need. If you ever need a dog sitter, I. I want to get into fostering and I want to see what it's like to have a dog around. I would love. Place is called Wags and Walks. It's really great.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, I've heard of that place. I miss my doggy so much.

[Tig Notaro]

Sh.

[Fortune Feimster]

But that's fine. I'm glad you have a dog.

[May Martin]

How old is honey? 2.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, that's a good age.

[May Martin]

Yeah. I was thinking, like, if I was gonna get a dog, I could get an older dog because I'm away, you know, or. And I'm. I'd be new to it. I don't think I could handle a puppy.

[Fortune Feimster]

But the puppy stage is tough. Yeah, sure. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And is Honey beyond that is too beyond the puppy stage.

[May Martin]

She's like, look at her puppy energy. But she's is.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's way better biting inside.

[Tig Notaro]

God, she's so cute.

[May Martin]

Look at her. Where.

[Fortune Feimster]

What kind of dog is that?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Mix a what?

[Tig Notaro]

She's a terrier.

[Fortune Feimster]

Mix a terrier.

[May Martin]

She is a real dog. Like, she is classic.

[Fortune Feimster]

I can see the terror, but I see something else in there.

[Tig Notaro]

Is it May?

[May Martin]

Her face?

[Kristen Kish]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

That the face does not match the terrier, but the body does.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, what a sweet little pup.

[May Martin]

I would love to see that little

[Fortune Feimster]

treat for all of our lesbian watchers.

[Tig Notaro]

Maybe you should start with a goldfish, May.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, maybe.

[May Martin]

I think maybe you're right. I have a lot of fun to

[Fortune Feimster]

get a friend to share a dog with. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah. I could do. I'd love to do that.

[Tig Notaro]

I know you got a lot of love to share. I mean, so much give or whatever.

[May Martin]

So much. Yeah. I saw some elk in Banff. Big, beautiful elk.

[Fortune Feimster]

To give them hugs and kisses.

[May Martin]

No, they.

[Fortune Feimster]

They.

[May Martin]

They can charge you. They're very aggressive. But then I went on a bike ride. You can rent a bike. And I went way deep into the woods, like, oh no. Where it was just me in the forest. And I could hear like my heart beating.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, cowboy. But aren't there a lot of bears around there?

[May Martin]

Well, I see a pile of poo, like fresh bear poo in the middle of the road. I was convinced it was bear poo. And so I pick up the pace on my bike and I get back and then they said, oh yeah, there's someone saw a bear today just around there. He's called the boss. He's £700 and he had a tracker on him, but he ate it off. I was like, why didn't the hotel

[Fortune Feimster]

tell me that when I have a hundred pound bear?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And when I rented the bike, no one warned me.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, well, I mean I, I think it's just common knowledge that that area is full of bears.

[Tig Notaro]

Don't make me feel bad about them.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm so going deep. Famously known for bears, but whatever there were alive knows. Handsome is supported by Squarespace.

[Tig Notaro]

Leave them be. Should we get to our question?

[May Martin]

Let's do it.

[Tig Notaro]

Question.

[May Martin]

Hey bear.

[Tig Notaro]

Hey girl.

[Fortune Feimster]

You guys, this is a treat. Literally. Today's question Asker is a chef and TV host who won season 10 of Top Chef and went on to host the show herself. She's gone on to host other shows like Fast Foodies and Iron Chef. Quest for an Iron Legend. Her memoir, Accidentally on Purpose is a New York Times bestseller. Kristen Kish is asking today's question. By the way, Kristen is a badass. I have done two shows with Kristen now. I did fast foodies where they take they would take your favorite fast food dishes and make it like chef. This chef version of it, which was nice. Incredible.

[Tig Notaro]

That's awesome. That's an actual like long running TV show or it was. I don't just like an episode.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't do it Anymore. It was. Was right. It was in Covid times.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

And her dish, I think Panda Express was one of my fast food choices. And they did, like, their version of it, which was, like, unbelievable. And then I recently did an episode of Celebrity Top Chef, and it was a. I was a judge with kids, but I was like, you know, I love food, and I love, like, really, Like, I'm foodie food.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I was so pumped. I was like, oh, my God, I get to be on Top Chef. I'm gonna eat this incredible food. Like, these chefs are gonna, like, blow my mind. And then they were like, you're gonna be judging with kids. And I was like, oh, I'm gonna be eating pizza and ice cream. It was so fun. But I did, in fact, eat pizza and ice cream. But Chris is awesome. She was also on Traders and was a very smart player on there.

[May Martin]

Yeah, she was. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I would lose. I don't even know how to play Traders any game. I'm like, I don't get what's happening. I just want to go home.

[Fortune Feimster]

If I had to be the traitor, it would kill me. Kill me.

[May Martin]

I feel like if someone looked you in the eye and said, fortune.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

I would be like, okay, yeah, I'd be. I would be the end of my career, because it would show such a dark side of me.

[Tig Notaro]

No, Fortune wouldn't say, yes. Fortune would be like, I don't know. I don't know. What would I say? I don't even know.

[Fortune Feimster]

You just be like, I don't want to be here. The food's terrible. I want to go home.

[May Martin]

You'd be like, now, am I not supposed to say if I'm a traitor here?

[Fortune Feimster]

Here would. Your interview would be like. They would interview you, you know, where you, like, talk crap about people, and you'd be like, who cares? What are we doing here?

[May Martin]

And also, you wouldn't know who any of the people were if you.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't even know who she is. Which one is she?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Now, wait. Am I. Was I. Should I have said that I was. That's exactly. I don't even know. Again, I don't know how the game works, but that I know. I would be trying to understand because Stephanie called me today on her way home to ask me about these different options in redoing our house, and I was like, you know what? Can we. When you get home, can we sit down? Like, I can't even. I can't track any of this right now. Like, we have to say this is the option. Then this is the option. Then if we don't do that. Yeah. Or just like, I can't just take it all in quickly and go, oh, yeah, let's do that. One thing.

[May Martin]

You know, the traders have to choose someone to murder in the night. And I feel like you'd be choosing yourself. You'd be like, get me out of here.

[Tig Notaro]

That's like. As a kid, I told you I'd write an F at the top of my test and just slide it on the desk and put my head down. I would just grade my own thing. Didn't I tell you that?

[May Martin]

I don't think so. That's so badass.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[May Martin]

You're like, I'll stay in the trouble.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Here. It's enough.

[Fortune Feimster]

Good night.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm out.

[May Martin]

All right, let's hear the question.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, Kristen, apologies.

[Kristen Kish]

Hello, handsome pod. It's me, Kristen Kish, your unofficial resident chef of your podcast.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's right.

[Kristen Kish]

Whether you like it or not, Fortune. I go way back, so. Hello again, Tigan. May I look forward to meeting you in person one day. I am so honored and thrilled to be asked to ask you all a question. And my question is, what food opinion instantly makes you distrust a person? Really think about it.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I. I thought I didn't have an answer, but I do.

[May Martin]

Oh, yes.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Yeah. Well, I'm going to. This is breaking news.

[May Martin]

Oh, sure.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's my breaking news. That's really good song.

[Tig Notaro]

I am a vegan person.

[May Martin]

No.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

That's the breaking news. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

We definitely did not know this.

[Tig Notaro]

Hear me out. I am. And I think that when people have an opinion about it and about how I eat or what I eat, or,

[Fortune Feimster]

like, a really strong one.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, where they really think they know what it is or that, you know, you can't get enough protein and all of that kind of stuff, I'm like, snooze fest.

[May Martin]

Yeah. You know, it's like, it's a red flag about a personality that they would assume that you haven't done some research. Right. You don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah. And it's also, like, if you want to eat meat and dairy, you should just eat meat and dairy. But you can get protein from chickpeas and lentils and, you know, tofu, and maybe that doesn't sound good to you, and that's fine. But people are convinced, or they come in real heavy with the, I can't get protein on that diet, and it's just not. It's just not true.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it's. It's provably untrue.

[Tig Notaro]

It's provably untrue. So that's when sometimes I'm like, nah. I

[Fortune Feimster]

who think the fire alarm is going off in my hotel.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my gosh. What is with this episode? Fortune, get up and go see if. If anything is.

[May Martin]

I thought that was my house because of.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

May.

[Fortune Feimster]

Is this causing you. Great.

[Tig Notaro]

But wait. Fortune. Fortune. No. Yeah. Go check out what's going on, because you might. What floor are you on?

[Fortune Feimster]

Three.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

You'll be fine out the door.

[Fortune Feimster]

You guys chat amongst yourself.

[Tig Notaro]

Mute yourself.

[May Martin]

Oh. Did it stop, or she just.

[Tig Notaro]

No, she muted it.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

That's going on with fire today.

[May Martin]

But that's weird.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And also, you need fire to cook as a chef, so this is all tying in together. Yeah. I feel like when you hear a fire alarm, you got to get a move in and just make sure.

[May Martin]

Very chill about that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I cannot be chill. You gotta go.

[May Martin]

Parv was being very chill about the fire near me, and I was like, it. They spread so fast. Like, so fast. I'm gonna send you a video of. Of the fire.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

This was during my massage, so I missed it, but this is there. I sent it. So this will show you.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune's back. Oh, my God. This is. That's your house.

[May Martin]

Whoa. That's intense.

[Tig Notaro]

That is intense.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wait, what's intense? I'm back.

[May Martin]

Y.

[Tig Notaro]

They just shared a video of their house on fire.

[May Martin]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

And it is. Or whatever.

[Fortune Feimster]

Whoa. That's a lot more smoke than I realized.

[Tig Notaro]

That's what we're all saying also.

[Fortune Feimster]

Dang. That could have been real bad. May.

[Tig Notaro]

I know of this tying in. Plus, you were saying that the people. Well, May's back. Of the house on fire Europe. Your hotel just went up in flames. And then we have a chef who is asking us a question, and that ties into the unhel. The unhappiness. House. People cooking behind your house.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. Yeah. What is going on?

[Tig Notaro]

Chefs use fire to cook.

[Fortune Feimster]

I didn't see this coming. So full circle.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at this.

[Fortune Feimster]

The alarm stopped, so I'm assuming it was a false alarm, or else it would still be going.

[May Martin]

I think it was.

[Fortune Feimster]

This is, like, my fifth time in a hotel where the alarm's gone off.

[May Martin]

Whenever I hear a fire alarm. I think it's a teenager trying to get out of an exam pulling the alarm.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, it's most every time I've been in one, everyone kind of. Of like, wait, sit out in their room for a while, and then they start kind of poking their head out the door. Is this for real?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've had. I've had them go off at like three in the morning at hotels. That's the worst. And they make you go outside and everyone's in their little PJs.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, well, I just want to tell people, don't set anything on fire to get out of an exam. Just.

[May Martin]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

Grade your own paper and put an F. And then you are out of your ex exam.

[May Martin]

I think, anyway, my unpopular. My food opinion that makes me not trust people is kind of like the other side of the coin of yours, Tig. Which is like when. When people claim to really not like any fast food. And I'm like, have you tried.

[Tig Notaro]

There's a fire truck.

[May Martin]

Fortune, there's a fire truck.

[Tig Notaro]

This is outrageous.

[Fortune Feimster]

It might be going somewhere else.

[May Martin]

It's not going somewhere else.

[Fortune Feimster]

You guys continue. There's nothing to see.

[Tig Notaro]

You're like the world's worst detective. You're. The fire alarm went off and then a truck is coming and you're like,

[Fortune Feimster]

it's probably as the. As violins play like the Titanic. You're like, it's fine, everyone. It's fine. Enjoy the music.

[May Martin]

That's crazy.

[Fortune Feimster]

Sorry, Meg. I didn't mean for that fire. The fire happening around me to interrupt you.

[May Martin]

Well, you should probably look and see if there's any handsome firemen.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think I'm good.

[Tig Notaro]

No, we're under contract. We need to keep you safe.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I have to make sure this gets on Hulu.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, we're under contract with Head Gum and Hulu.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[May Martin]

No, I was saying that I don't trust when people claim to not like any fast food. Like, if you're like, you know, what's the. What are the best fries? Like, is it McDonald's, Burger King? In and out. And if people are like, I don't like any fast food, I'm like, it's okay to say, you know, you're. You're trying not to eat them or whatever, but. Yeah, yeah, you know, that's good. Like, that tastes good. Like, right? It's like people saying they don't like the Beatles. I'm like, you're just trying to be kind of.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, Fortune's not crazy about them.

[May Martin]

You don't dislike them. You just are not.

[Fortune Feimster]

I dislike them.

[May Martin]

That's when people say, I don't like.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I'm not like, dying over them like you guys.

[May Martin]

Yeah, that's fine. It's just when people are. Don't acknowledge the contribution to music.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, huge contribution. For sure.

[May Martin]

Then I'm like, you're just being contrary now.

[Tig Notaro]

I do want to be difficult with you for a second. May.

[May Martin]

Hit me.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, because you really don't like fast food.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, no, I'm not. I'm not saying that. I. I just haven't had it in a long time, aside from Chipotle or something like that. And. And your taste buds really do change.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And that is a real thing. That is a very real thing. And sometimes I think a lot of those French fries and stuff are cooked in, like, beef oil and what have you.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

So there could be that.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But there are fast food. I. I remember fast food that I liked, and not even.

[May Martin]

It doesn't even have to be, like, the big chains, but people who are like, I don't. I just.

[Tig Notaro]

You know, they just want top.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Top Chef food.

[May Martin]

But it is true. Like, my mom, every birthday, she's like, you know what? I just want McDonald's on my birthday. I'm gonna treat myself. I never have McDonald's. And she's always disappointed because if you never eat McDonald's and you forget that a. There's a huge range depending on the location and stuff. There's some in Toronto that are, like, made of wood and then. Yeah. And every time.

[Tig Notaro]

But even still, like, with. I remember being at a party, and there was, like, a vegan platter of cheese.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Kristen Kish]

And.

[Tig Notaro]

And I was eating it, and I turned to this woman next to me, and I go, oh, my God, this is so delicious. I can't remember what kind of cheese, what flavor it was, but. Or name. And I said, you have to try this. And she took a bite, and she goes, how long have you been vegan? And I was like, at, like, a decade, almost a decade. And she was like, this tastes nothing like Swiss cheese. And so that's that idea of, like, your taste buds totally change. And, like, if you eat healthy for, like, a month. Certain stuff that, like, comfort food doesn't even. We used to always eat even though it was vegan. We would eat the vegan Mac and cheese when Max and Finn were, like, three, and they were really into that, and we ate it all the time. I think Thomas even did, too. But then they grew out of that. And then we cooked it for some reason recently. And when I ate it, it was the most disgusting thing. And I couldn't believe our family kind of lived off of that for a year.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I had that with Rice a Roni. Remember Rice a Roni?

[Tig Notaro]

Of course I do.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Like, so delicious. What a decadent treat. And then I. I tried it as an adult and was, like, nasty.

[Fortune Feimster]

It is so disgusting.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting when that happens.

[May Martin]

What about you, Fortune?

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, this is. This goes down to a palette thing, too, because Tig could argue that, like, you. Your palette changes. So this happens because you've been eating healthier. But I. These people that eat a dessert, take one bite of a dessert, and they're like, it's too rich. This is just too rich.

[Tig Notaro]

I can't.

[Fortune Feimster]

Nope. I'm like, it's a dessert. That's what it's supposed to be doing for us. Yeah. And that. It is decadent. It's doing its job. It's a treat.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I'm with you there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Get on it.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I do understand some people are really healthy, and so that is very sweet to them, but. But they proclaim it to everyone, like, it's too rich.

[May Martin]

I can't.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're like, all right, well, I like

[Tig Notaro]

sweet and I like rich. But when I have birthday cake, I need. Or even cupcakes, I just need a little bit less frosting. Am I the awful one, too? I do, because I. I love.

[May Martin]

I like the cake bit.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. I love all of it, but I just like a hint of icing.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, with cupcakes, you know, they go heavy on the top. I like. To the. To. To your point, sometimes I'll take the bottom of the cupcake and put it on the top so it's more evened out. Not wanting too much icing on a bite. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Thank you for understanding.

[Fortune Feimster]

I also don't love when people. And my mom's guilty of this, but at this age, it's not changing the. This isn't necessarily a food opinion, but people that won't even try something, they've just decided they don't like it.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I'm like, but you have no clue.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Any. And it's not even something that necessarily. I can understand certain things that look weird, you know, quote unquote, where you're like, I don't know, like. Like, uni. Doesn't that. Isn't that the, like, yellow tongue looking like thing?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right.

[May Martin]

It's crt.

[Fortune Feimster]

I can understand seeing something like that being like, not for me, but there's so many dishes that just, like, people will just be like, I just know I'm not gonna like it. And you're like, you don't know that. You really don't know that just from looking at it. So I. I I like when people, like, my palate has evolved tremendously over the years. I mean, growing up in small town North Carolina, I. I wouldn't eat, like, onions or tomatoes or anything, you know, I don't know what. That's not even weird. But as I got older, I would allow myself to, like, just, like, just try it. You might like it.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then I would surprise myself and like, oh, this is actually amazing.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And if you don't like it, you can just take a swig of water and move on. Right?

[May Martin]

This is a quote from something. But my dad used to always say he, like, talks to himself, and he would always go, try it. You'll like it. And then you go. So I tried it. I thought I was gonna die. Was that from something or did he just make.

[Tig Notaro]

I think it's just from your dad.

[Fortune Feimster]

So I tried it.

[May Martin]

I thought I was gonna die.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, well, Max and Finn, at school, it's called a no, thank you bite. Have you heard that?

[May Martin]

No. I like that, though. What is it?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, just. Just try a no, thank you bite.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

So. So have a bite.

[May Martin]

Then you're allowed to say, no, thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

Then you're allowed to say, no, thank you, but don't just. Just say, huh, that's really good.

[Fortune Feimster]

I also love when people will take a bite of something and it's terrible, and they're like, this is awful. Taste this.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you're like, why do I. Why do you want to put me through that, too?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God, you guys, this is so bad.

[Fortune Feimster]

You have to please try this.

[Tig Notaro]

I have the epitome of that. And I, as you can imagine, like, this is classic me. Okay. I was at one of the Oscar events, and it was like a daytime brunch, and I was so much wanting a nice espresso drink. And so I didn't know that. The manager overheard me, and they didn't offer it, but he said, you know what? I'll go in the kitchen and have somebody make you an espresso. I wanted a cappuccino. And so he brings it out. And I was like, thank you so much. It was so nice that he did that. And so I was very thankful. I took a sip. It was the most disgusting cappuccino I had ever had in my life. And I did that. I turned to everybody around me. I was like, please take a sip of this. And it first started out as a real thing where I was like, it is like, you cannot believe that this is a cappuccino. And so a Couple of people from our film took sips and then I went wide with it. And this cup. No, he wasn't there. He wasn't. He had already walked off. This became. Let us see how many people we can get. And the cup, as I would bring it to somebody and I'd be like, take a sip. And it would have lipstick marks all over. And they were like, how many people have tasted this? I'm like, literally 12. Please be the next one. And they could not believe how disgusting it was that they would join in being like, dude, you have to try this cappuccino.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was. What he did to it.

[Tig Notaro]

I have no. I. This was like. This was. You know how you talk about the horrible. You know, it's a bad coffee shop if there's a lot of flavor. Jars of flavors in the background. This was like 10 steps lower. And it was at a nice place in Los Angeles. I don't know what happened.

[May Martin]

Burnt and sour. And it was.

[Tig Notaro]

Whatever it was, it was so bad. But it was. I cannot say I'm exaggerating when I think it got to 15 to 20 people. And it became this joke where everybody was in and they were like, okay, I'll do it. And then like, wait, I gotta get my friend to taste it, man. Tasted. Everybody's tasted this disgusting. And. But yeah, the guy, the manager, he wasn't anywhere near us.

[May Martin]

That's so validating that everybody agreed, though.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was.

[Tig Notaro]

But it was also so fun and funny that everyone got on board with tasting this disgusting coffee that had lipstick marks all around the thing.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was probably a mix of like, like, sour espresso with, like, expired soy milk, something like.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I don't know what it was.

[Fortune Feimster]

It.

[Tig Notaro]

No, no, no, it wasn't. It wasn't. The. The. I think it was almond milk. It wasn't that. It was truly.

[Fortune Feimster]

I just had some sour espresso before we taped because the coffee shops here close at like, 3. And so the hotel had. I got the espresso and I'm like,

[Tig Notaro]

isn't it infuriating when you get a bad coffee?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, you know, coffee snow.

[May Martin]

When I was in Portland, Maine, I went to have dinner on a boat. And I didn't know I'd picked, like, a really touristy place. I think I told this, actually. But I showed up and I'd made a reservation. It was 8:30. I got there, they go, we're closing soon. So. And I was like, oh. But I made a reservation. There's five of us. And then we sit. They're like, okay, well. Yep. And then we. We get the menus and we order, and then she start. Brings out a vacuum cleaner, starts vacuuming around us, around our feet. Really good.

[Tig Notaro]

Gosh.

[Fortune Feimster]

You, like, you offered this reservation time.

[Tig Notaro]

Is this the Portland, Maine fire episode?

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. And then I said. I said, what's. What's good on the menu? Do you have any special? She goes, well, there's these. The chef does these Brussels sprouts. They are divisive. You're gonna love them or hate him. I was like, okay. Paula got those.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And what? How'd you feel?

[May Martin]

They were pretty nasty. They were pretty good. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You know what? My aunt in Austin, she. When she. She's so against veganism, and she's so funny about it, because I'll. I'll, you know, send a little spoon her way. And she does this every time.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's cute.

[Tig Notaro]

Disgusting.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Fortune Feimster]

Disgusting. I love food. I love good food. It makes me so happy.

[May Martin]

Same. I'm curious to hear Kristen's answer.

[Tig Notaro]

Answer.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah, Chef. Yeah, this is juicy.

[Kristen Kish]

I have a very passionate answer. It's the food opinion, but it's the food opinion that also comes with a reaction, like a physical reaction. So it is the people that don't like mayonnaise. And when you say, what food do you really hate? Oh, mayonnaise. And then they start immediately, dry heaving. Like, they can't even get the word mayonnaise out of their mouth without barfing through it. How old are you? Are you? How old are you? Children react more mature.

[Tig Notaro]

Mayonnaise.

[Kristen Kish]

Mayonnaise is delicious. It's a vehicle. It's fat. It's a way of browning things on the outside of a grilled cheese.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yum.

[Kristen Kish]

You know, smothered in a salad. I'm from the Midwest. We call mayonnaise things salads. It is delicious. It's oil and eggs, and then sometimes maybe a little acid and some salt and some different things. Also, the people that say, I don't like mayonnaise, but they love aioli. Come on, give me a break. Those are the same people on Yelp that give you a horrible review because they didn't like the way. Way the menu looked. I don't know. On no merit, basically.

[May Martin]

Yeah. But Chris. Okay, just to play devil's advocate, like, Kristen's probably making this delicious mayonnaise, homemade, fresh. Like, there's the little packets of mayonnaise can be pretty. They can. They can be pretty bad.

[Fortune Feimster]

You don't like them.

[May Martin]

You don't like them. Mayonnaise I would never gag like that. But I'm not a huge mayonnaise person. But I bet that Kristen's mayonnaise I would love.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, you're going to hate this.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

My friend David Hunsberger, he was challenged.

[May Martin]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

To eat an entire jar of mayonnaise on stage at the Comedy Club in Austin. And he did it.

[May Martin]

He did it.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's disgusting.

[Tig Notaro]

He did it. Don't you come down hard on my little boy, David Husburger.

[Fortune Feimster]

I couldn't eat a whole jar of it.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, he wasn't looking forward to it,

[Fortune Feimster]

but he get anything for this?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I got to tell the story on Handsome.

[May Martin]

Who challenged him?

[Tig Notaro]

The audience or I think another comedian, probably. It was a long time ago, but he's really funny.

[May Martin]

David Huntsberger.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, he is. He's a good guy.

[May Martin]

And a whole jar. Whoa.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Oh, geez. Oh, geez.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Tig, I die. I mean, I'm really taking in that. It was a whole, whole jar.

[Fortune Feimster]

A whole jar.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

That was delightful. Kristen's the best. What a badass. In the food world.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

She seems really cool.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Really, really cool.

[Tig Notaro]

Nice. Thanks for joining us.

[Fortune Feimster]

[May Martin]

Joined us. That was so beans. Wait, did you know Bjork has a girlfriend? Girlfriend?

[Fortune Feimster]

No, she just announced lesbian.

[May Martin]

Or. Yeah, Bjork, I think. Or the girlfriend did a post that was like, I love my girlfriend. And the picture and it's like, well,

[Tig Notaro]

straight women call their friends their girlfriends.

[May Martin]

No, this is not a straight woman, though.

[Tig Notaro]
