Welcome to the Handsome Podcast. Here we are in person altogether again. I'm one of your hosts, Mae Martin. I'm joined really close proximity by my.

[Tig Notaro]

Two other co hosts. Yeah, and Biggie is here.

[Leslie Jones]

That's right.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I'm one of the co hosts in a very similar color as May.

[Fortune Feimster]

We're going.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, we're going forest. Forest green.

[Tig Notaro]

I love a forest green. But it's me, Tig Notaro.

[Leslie Jones]

And it's me, Fortune Feepster Fortune. Hi, guys.

[Thomas William]

Hi.

[Leslie Jones]

I love being with y'all.

[Thomas William]

I love being with you.

[Tig Notaro]

It's nice I'm over here alone.

[Leslie Jones]

All by yourself?

[Tig Notaro]

All by myself.

[Leslie Jones]

Biggie's over here cuddling with May.

[Thomas William]

Biggie is kind of into me, guys.

[Leslie Jones]

Really into you.

[Thomas William]

It's really nice.

[Tig Notaro]

And how can you tell when there's no face expression?

[Leslie Jones]

Come on. He is his life.

[Thomas William]

It's like a gentle. Well, now he's leaning away because he's.

[Leslie Jones]

No, he's just. He's. He's saying, I like this pet me.

[Thomas William]

He's really good.

[Tig Notaro]

Is that what he's saying?

[Leslie Jones]

Mm hmm.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

He is.

[Thomas William]

I tried to. I've cut my own hair with clippers and I think there's some big steps in it and I even think there's a little bald patch.

[Tig Notaro]

On purpose?

[Thomas William]

No, by.

[Leslie Jones]

No, no, there's not. It's a little thin there, but it's not bald, is it?

[Tig Notaro]

There's a bald patch at the back on the top.

[Thomas William]

Like a monk.

[Tig Notaro]

Like a. Yes, yes.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, that was on purpose.

[Tig Notaro]

My father was bald like that.

[Leslie Jones]

What's that called?

[Thomas William]

Not a pattern. Just like.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't. Circle patterns. I don't know. But yeah, he. He had a mustache and then he was missing hair right there at the top of his noggin.

[Thomas William]

Men have a hard time.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I didn't get the feeling that that was one of his main struggles in life.

[Thomas William]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

It didn't grow if you can't see it.

[Leslie Jones]

Are you really thinking about it?

[Thomas William]

Yeah, that's right. These days you go to Turkey, you get a hair transplant. They are so good.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm sorry. These days you go to Turkey, you don't know that. No.

[Leslie Jones]

That is the place to go.

[Thomas William]

Everyone's. It's cheap and it lasts.

[Tig Notaro]

And how do you know this?

[Leslie Jones]

It's like a thing that, like there's a lot of tiktoks of like all these guys on airplanes with their head wrapped.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Coming back from Turkey because that's where you go to get it done.

[Thomas William]

And. And dental work and stuff.

[Leslie Jones]

It's cheaper to do it. It's cheaper to fly there and get it done there than it is to do it in the state.

[Tig Notaro]

Why are they so good in Turkey?

[Thomas William]

I don't know, but it's excruciatingly painful. But it.

[Tig Notaro]

How do you know?

[Thomas William]

These videos I'm watching.

[Tig Notaro]

You have nice fingers, May.

[Thomas William]

Thank you so much. I've been. It's the one part of me that I'm proud of.

[Tig Notaro]

Maybe I've said this. And you know who has the best hands and fingers in comedy?

[Thomas William]

Who?

[Tig Notaro]

Paul F. Tompkins.

[Thomas William]

Really gorgeous fingertips.

[Leslie Jones]

Anyone's Beautiful hands.

[Thomas William]

Really? It's beautiful.

[Tig Notaro]

The man has beautiful hands.

[Thomas William]

You've got great hands.

[Leslie Jones]

Do I? They're okay. No one's ever complimented my hands.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, because. They're okay.

[Leslie Jones]

No, you can't see them.

[Tig Notaro]

But look at May's hands and fingers so much.

[Thomas William]

Thank you.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

Very long fingers.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah, you do have long fingers.

[Tig Notaro]

Of course people know what you mean.

[Thomas William]

Guys, last night, I did.

[Leslie Jones]

They know what you mean. Those dykes out there.

[Thomas William]

Oh, they know. I did, like, an immersive experience last night. Oh, my God. Look at. Biggie just came and got on my lap.

[Leslie Jones]

He heard about that.

[Thomas William]

About those fingers. Oh, my God.

[Leslie Jones]

Wow.

[Thomas William]

You know what this is Dogs.

[Leslie Jones]

Something.

[Thomas William]

Dogs and children. I think they. They trust me.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, that is a May brag.

[Thomas William]

That is about May brag.

[Tig Notaro]

Maybrag.

[Leslie Jones]

He. For those watching right now on YouTube, Biggie saddled up to May. So quick.

[Tig Notaro]

To be fair, Biggie doesn't have a clue what's going on.

[Leslie Jones]

He does.

[Tig Notaro]

Just staring straight ahead. Doesn't know who he's snuggled up to.

[Leslie Jones]

He licked May's hand and everything. He knows exactly what he's doing.

[Tig Notaro]

I've licked May's hand before. I didn't know what I was doing.

[Thomas William]

It really did seem like he heard about the fingers, though.

[Leslie Jones]

He didn't snuggle up to me at all today.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, well, he saw your fingers. He finally got a glimpse of those fingers.

[Leslie Jones]

He's really, really into May. I love it.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, May, what. What story were you going to tell us?

[Thomas William]

Well, you know, I always. I look up any, like, immersive experience in la, like an escape room or thing, and this was like. I got taken to. It was like. It was lights and sounds and colors.

[Tig Notaro]

Put the hands down. Oh, my gosh. If you're at home watching. There you are. There's fingers.

[Thomas William]

The sequel to Long Legs is Long Fingers. Yeah. So I go in and I think some of these immersive things are like, running a racket. Like, this was a white room, and they. But they played these deep sounds and then bright, bright lights. But it was me and the person I was with. And then this couple in their 60s who came and they were.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, who was the person you were with?

[Thomas William]

Never you mind.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, was this a date?

[Thomas William]

I was. Yeah. I went on. I got taken on a date, which is nice.

[Leslie Jones]

You got taken on a date?

[Thomas William]

Usually I'm the one picking the.

[Tig Notaro]

Can we know the gender?

[Thomas William]

Yeah, gender's a spectrum. Okay, so there's this couple, and the woman is, like, this vivacious, like, long Haired sort of hippie woman. And she's like, are you guys doing the experience? And then her husband is this curmudgeonly. Well, she always makes me come to these things. He goes, I have to take my shoes off. And he was really annoyed.

[Tig Notaro]

How old?

[Thomas William]

Late 60s.

[Tig Notaro]

In an escape room?

[Thomas William]

No, it was like an immersive art experience of, like, it was meant to be relaxing sounds and you look like you're in an alien pod. And anyway, and then they're bright colors. And at the end of it, first of all, he starts snoring. Halfway through, I can feel it's just the four of us in this pod. I can hear this.

[Leslie Jones]

Like, he said, this is also interactive.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. And then my favorite part was at the end, we're like, wow, that was amazing. Yeah, it was so cool the way the colors responded to the sounds. And then she went, well, and did you like it? To her husband? He goes, ah, the yellow really pissed me off.

[Leslie Jones]

The yellow.

[Thomas William]

He was pissed off by one of.

[Tig Notaro]

The colors, this similar yellow to this here.

[Thomas William]

It was brighter than that.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, okay. Because that's about the color of my spacesuit on Star Trek.

[Thomas William]

Well, that's like a nice mustard color.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, that color.

[Thomas William]

I would not guess that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I was gonna say it sounds like you two are surprised to find out I am in a yellow spacesuit.

[Thomas William]

But does it have the classic Star Trek symbols on it?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I have the. Yeah, the emblem there, but it's like, I have, like. Well, I was gonna say I can't share this, but it's the same outfit I had in Star Trek Discovery. It's just, you know, yellow spacesuit. Well, part of. On Discovery, I was in a blue spacesuit and then it switched to the golden yellow.

[Thomas William]

What do you prefer? What's more flattering?

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, I look good in anything, to be honest with you. Yeah.

[Thomas William]

But what kind of shoes?

[Tig Notaro]

Boots. They come up, you know, Space boots.

[Thomas William]

Space boots.

[Tig Notaro]

You gotta have space boots. Have you never been to space?

[Leslie Jones]

Never.

[Tig Notaro]

But, you know, the wardrobe people are extraordinarily talented and I appreciate all of their work. I did enjoy the blue suit a little better.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah, I do like blue.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. But the way it was cut, like, I don't know.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very. These subtle changes can be very.

[Tig Notaro]

Made me feel cooler. Like in that.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Cause the jacket was cut a little higher, whereas the gold goes a little lower. But I still like it. Like, I like the gold suit. You know, I sent somebody a picture the other day and they said, you were born to Wear a yellow spacesuit. Yeah, yeah.

[Thomas William]

I did that show the flight attendant, and I had to wear a flight attendant uniform. And leading up to it, I was like, guys, I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but, like, I would just love to wear a men's flight attendant. They were like, yeah, of course. Got it. We got it. We got it. And then I show up and it's like a sort of Hillary Clinton pantsuit. Like, it's cut so womanly, you know? And then they have the dress option for me, and I'm like, burn that. Then. Yeah. I couldn't explain to them, like, the nuances of like. I know this looks to you like a. A suit. It's not. It's like a. Yeah, they. They altered it a bit for me, but. Oh, man. Then they said, oh, yeah, and you're gonna wear a little neck scarf around your neck, like a little tee.

[Tig Notaro]

Did you be open to a neck scarf?

[Thomas William]

Yeah, because it was a plot point. Because I was hiding a hickey.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah. Oh, gotcha. That is hilarious.

[Tig Notaro]

Hiding a hickey.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. Unfortunately. I just watched you in the Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon rom com.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, yeah.

[Thomas William]

You're so funny in it. And also, it's so funny. I put it on and I was like, you guys love rom coms, but, yeah, I would never choose to watch one.

[Leslie Jones]

Right?

[Tig Notaro]

I love a rom com.

[May Martin]

Do you not?

[Leslie Jones]

I love a rom com.

[Thomas William]

You're just in there.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, no offense.

[Leslie Jones]

I'm so offended.

[Tig Notaro]

Please, Fortune, I see the hate that.

[Leslie Jones]

You don't love rom com.

[Tig Notaro]

No, I am not. Did you really think I was a rom com person?

[Thomas William]

I do. I think maybe just because you're in.

[Leslie Jones]

Them, you like Tig likes Rom toms.

[Thomas William]

Rom toms?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah, my Rom Tom.

[Leslie Jones]

But I was in the movie for, like, 20 seconds. But I'm glad that in those 20.

[Thomas William]

Seconds, you laughed, you made an impact, and I.

[Leslie Jones]

Two of my scenes got cut.

[Thomas William]

Oh, bombed. I thought there was a place where you were going to come back at the end.

[Leslie Jones]

And then I was supposed to.

[Thomas William]

Damn.

[Tig Notaro]

It was because of the hands. That's right.

[Thomas William]

But this movie, like, the first half hour, I was like, this is such a funny, pleasant romcom. And then it gets sort of unhinged in a way that I was not expecting and loved. Like, suddenly it's like he's wrestling an alligator. And it was really funny. I really do.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. As you do.

[Leslie Jones]

I'm glad you liked it.

[Thomas William]

I loved it.

[Tig Notaro]

And what is it called?

[Leslie Jones]

You're cordially Invited.

[Thomas William]

I'm glad that Fortune jumped in there, because I could not.

[Tig Notaro]

Have you seen the movie Fortune?

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

It's fun.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

I mean, I. I just love when anyone makes a comedy these days.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

There's so few getting made.

[Thomas William]

Like a big.

[Leslie Jones]

Like a big, silly, over the top comedy. I love it. So.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah. That was cool to pop in there.

[Thomas William]

We should get Will Ferrell to ask a question.

[Leslie Jones]

I asked him. He listens to the pod.

[Thomas William]

What? And, no, he doesn't.

[Leslie Jones]

He told me he does. I swear to God, no. Unless he was just being nice.

[Tig Notaro]

He was being nice.

[Leslie Jones]

No, he wasn't. He brought it up. He brought the pod up. I did not bring it up to him.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

And because he knew that Jax was a teacher and stuff from listening to the pod.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

All right. And I said, you gotta ask her. I immediately. He was trying to compliment me. Compliment me in the pod.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

And I totally interrupted him and was like, you gotta ask a question. Jax was like, let him finish. He said he would. I just. I don't have his number. I gotta figure that out.

[Thomas William]

I would love to get a question from Meredith Hagner, too.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, really?

[Thomas William]

Yeah. I love her. She's so funny.

[Leslie Jones]

She's very funny. She's on Search Party.

[Thomas William]

Yes. I think we need to start weaponizing the fact that I'm trans to get people to ask questions. We go, in today's America, wouldn't it be good to amplify this voice? Because.

[Leslie Jones]

Weaponize what?

[Thomas William]

We mean exploit.

[Tig Notaro]

We are here to weaponize this awkward voice.

[Thomas William]

I just think, like. Because, like, Will Ferrell did that amazing documentary, so I'm like, guys, come on.

[Tig Notaro]

I just watched that documentary, like, three nights ago.

[Thomas William]

Isn't it great?

[Tig Notaro]

It is great. And I was just telling Stephanie how much Will shines, like, as just a human, like, his compassion and his love. And I'm watching it thinking, I want to love like this. I want to be loved like this. And Harper just. I mean, that's an obvious thing of, like, what an interesting, incredible, smart, smart, funny, talented person. And I guess I was just going in expecting to be so wrapped up in. Because I know Will, and I thought I could kind of gather where that would go. But to really see his humanity.

[Thomas William]

You saw different sides of him.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that's 1 million percent. But it also made me feel like, I would love to know Harper. Yeah, totally. And I think it could potentially be hard to be with somebody as big as Will Ferrell. But I feel like Harper, they were an even ride.

[Thomas William]

And I like that they so if you're listening and you haven't seen it, it's like an old friend of Will Ferrell's who has transitioned to being a woman. And then they reconnect and they go on this road trip through America. And I like that they kind of also address the fact that it's easier because it's Will Ferrell. Like, they're going into these bars and stuff. That would be maybe scary. And, of course, everyone's so pumped to see Will Ferrell, so they kind of. Yeah, we're seeing this great side of Americans. But they were like, this would be very different if Harper was alone.

[Leslie Jones]

Well. Because Harper, when Harper was a man, used to go across the country and stop into these kind of dive bars. Very bro y. Manly bars. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Harper wanted to revisit the life and way that she traveled before transitioning.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

And see what the reception would be.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, man, it was great. And it is so. I love how this got so earnest after I was saying, let's weaponize my.

[May Martin]

Let's exploit my.

[Thomas William]

I was being joking. But, yeah, it's. It's so valuable when someone with the platform that big, especially someone who's. Yeah. Like every American loves. Like. Like Will Ferrell is so. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

A lot of hate for it.

[Thomas William]

Did he?

[Tig Notaro]

Will did.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah. A lot.

[Thomas William]

That. So just perhaps the point.

[Leslie Jones]

The world that we're in right now.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Unfortunately.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

He got a lot of love for it, but has gotten a lot of hate.

[Thomas William]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. That's wild. I. I just. I don't know how you can see somebody like Harper and then see somebody like Will, who you're so used to just loving and cracking up over anything and everything he does. And then you just see him and.

[Thomas William]

You go, I'm out now. Like, that's crazy. When it's just such a.

[Leslie Jones]

Well, yeah. Cause you would think that people would see the humanity of it, which is the whole point. But again, those aren't the times that we're in.

[Tig Notaro]

And to clarify, it's not that I didn't think Will had that in him. It was just so beautiful to see.

[Thomas William]

Him really, really, really emote and empathize and be so present.

[Leslie Jones]

Especially the scene after they were in Texas and got such a negative reaction. What is the name of the documentary?

[Tig Notaro]

Just so Will and Harper.

[Leslie Jones]

That's the name. Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Just so that people can find it.

[Thomas William]

I googled last night.

[Tig Notaro]

Was that good weaponizing your transness?

[Thomas William]

It was good, but now this is. We gotta get. We got to get Will to send a question.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

Like he's like, yeah, yeah, I will. And then you go and there's a trans person on yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking all state first.

[May Martin]

[Thomas William]

Com handsome I googled last night I went on chat GPT and I said, what is?

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know what chatgpt is.

[Thomas William]

It's AI and you can ask it anything. And I don't use it because I've heard it uses a lot of water to use it.

[May Martin]

It's like every question you ask it.

[Thomas William]

Is a bottle of water.

[Leslie Jones]

No way.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, wow. Why?

[Thomas William]

I could not tell you.

[Leslie Jones]

I was like, I don't know. I don't understand science.

[Thomas William]

I have no idea how that's possible.

[Leslie Jones]

I'm not a scientist. I don't know how any of that.

[Tig Notaro]

Works and how big of a bottle of water because they come in many different sizes.

[Thomas William]

I think a little 250 milliliter, kind of. So anyway. But I had to be careful what you ask. Find out. Last night I just wanted to know how many people a year die from laughing. Like just laugh themselves. I thought Chat GPT, it has access to every information on the Internet. And it was really evasive. It was like, yeah, that's not really something that. That's not really something that happens. It's not that possible. But it does happen. Probably, but. And I was like, okay, but it's.

[Tig Notaro]

Coming from a heart attack.

[Fortune Feimster]

Heart attack.

[Thomas William]

But I said, okay, but ballpark, like.

[Leslie Jones]

People who are recorded two bottles of water so far because you had a follow up question.

[Thomas William]

Exactly. Anyway, eventually it says, well, and now.

[Tig Notaro]

People at home are going to be.

[Thomas William]

Are you going to sleep curling up facing away from me?

[Tig Notaro]

No, no, no. Googling AI stuff keeps me anyway.

[Thomas William]

The long and the short of it is it's like a handful of people a year. But it does say, well, there was this man in 1975 called Alex Mitchell who died of laughing himself to death. He laughed for 25 minutes solidly at a sketch on a British comedy show called the Goodies. So obviously I'm like, what was the sketch? It says a strangulation sketch.

[Leslie Jones]

Wow.

[Thomas William]

I thought, what?

[Tig Notaro]

And that didn't kill him, but the laughter did.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. So then I random searched and I found the sketch that made this man laugh himself to death for 25 minutes. And I thought, hold up. I thought, it'll be a little stale. Not only is it. It is so offensive. I cannot. Like, I can't even. It is so racist. It is so offensive. And it was really making me laugh that this is the thing that this man killed me.

[Leslie Jones]

And then he almost died.

[Tig Notaro]

The universe. The whole thing took him out.

[Thomas William]

The universe took crazy. The whole saga was tripping me out last night.

[Leslie Jones]

That is wild.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, you know, I used to produce a comedy festival in D.C. called the Benson Ball.

[Thomas William]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Spelled B, E, N, T, Z, E, N. And we named the festival after this guy who laughed to death.

[Thomas William]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

No. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Are you kidding me? I literally never thought about anyone dying from laughing to death. And you two have both had this on your brain?

[Tig Notaro]

That's correct.

[Thomas William]

Wait, so who gets one?

[Tig Notaro]

He was from Washington State, and in fact, we extended an invitation to his family, and we told them that we named our festival after him.

[Leslie Jones]

And they're like, what?

[Tig Notaro]

Will you look him up, Thomas, and see? I can't.

[Leslie Jones]

This is the most random thing ever, because the wife.

[Tig Notaro]

Tell me the first initial of his first name and I'll be able to.

[Leslie Jones]

I've clearly never thought about this.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

Because the widow of Alex Mitchell wrote a letter to this comedy troupe and said, thank you for making his last moments on Earth so great. But that was interesting to me because the whole anecdote is. She said, if you laugh at this stupid show, you're in the minority. Stormed out of the room, and then he's laughing so hard that he dies. Which I was like, is he trying to make a point?

[Tig Notaro]

Like, yeah.

[Thomas William]

But anyway. And then she writes the truth.

[Leslie Jones]

Wow, That's a lot of twists.

[Thomas William]

So wait, Benson, Washington State. The first letter TIG is O.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Yes. It's. This is good podcasting, right, Otis? I don't think you'll guess it.

[Leslie Jones]

It's O. L, E is his name.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Ola Benson.

[Leslie Jones]

Ola Benson.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. And he died watching A Fish Called Wanda. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

Died washing.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Watching a fish. He was laughing. Watching A Fish Called Wanda.

[Leslie Jones]

Wow.

[Tig Notaro]

And so we. We were like, what do we call the comedy festival?

[Thomas William]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Ola Benson. I forgot. I did know that, but it's been a long time since I stopped, and we might bring the festival back. But we're.

[Thomas William]

Did his family respond?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. And they didn't come. Yeah.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

They were like, I probably thought it was a joke. No, we had. We invited them every year.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, God.

[Tig Notaro]

And I think they were gonna come One year and then I can't remember what happened. We weren't like paying for their plane tickets or anything.

[Thomas William]

Right. I wonder what scene it was in. A Fish Called Wanna.

[Tig Notaro]

I guess I can reach out and ask. And keep bringing up a bad topic.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah. Just keep that memory alive for them.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

That's crazy. Okay, see this is what I wanted from ChatGPT.

[Leslie Jones]

Just some more, more background. They could have told you about that guy.

[Thomas William]

I know.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't say, oh, by the way, May, your co host used to produce a festival called the Benson Ball.

[Thomas William]

It should have known that.

[Tig Notaro]

He really should have about Ola Benson.

[Thomas William]

Because apparently you can say to ChatGPT like here's everything about me and, and then, and everything I've done and, and then it can tell you what to do with your life. Like it is like omnipotent. Like it can say you personally have this issue and you need to do that.

[Leslie Jones]

Really?

[Thomas William]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

And I can just google that and it'll tell me my issue.

[Thomas William]

Like what to chat GPT.

[Leslie Jones]

Go to chat GPT.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, okay. I'm not gonna do that.

[Thomas William]

No. And also we shouldn't because of water.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

And water.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, we can't waste water.

[Leslie Jones]

Scary.

[Thomas William]

We should just hang with Biggie.

[Leslie Jones]

Hang out with Biggie.

[Tig Notaro]

Biggie.

[Thomas William]

Guys, I'm very excited about today's questioner. I once was on a flight with her, she was like two seats over.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh yeah.

[Thomas William]

I just wanted to say hi the whole time and I didn't. So that's that story.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow.

[Thomas William]

Today's questioner.

[Tig Notaro]

That's really good.

[Leslie Jones]

I saw her and I didn't say anything I wanted to.

[Thomas William]

Today's questioner is an actor and comedian best known for her Emmy nominated work on Saturday Night Live. She's also hosted Supermarket Sweep and starred in the 2016 version of Ghostbusters. Her latest stand up special is titled Problem Child. Leslie Jones is asking today's question. Nice.

[Leslie Jones]

Hey handsome. It's Leslie Jones here now. I was asked to ask you guys a question. So here we go. What? As you grow older, what is more relieving or enjoyable more than an orgasm or just as much as an orgasm?

[Thomas William]

Yeah, great question, Leslie Marie.

[Leslie Jones]

Leslie was as relieving and enjoyable as an orgasm, if not more.

[Tig Notaro]

Boy, I hate to chime in with something boring and obvious, but a good night's sleep, oh man, I do.

[Leslie Jones]

That's better than an orgasm.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean like when I get more than six hours of sleep, I feel like I can do anything in the world.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yes.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. When sleep becomes a struggle for you in your life and you covet it like that. Yeah. And it's so anxiety inducing knowing that you're not sleeping well and. Yeah. Good night's sleep. Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I do. I like. You know, what I do is before I go to bed, I take a screen grab of my phone so I see what time it is.

[Leslie Jones]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Because I always forget in the morning, I'm like, when did I go to sleep? Or when have I. And I always kind of round up like an hour and just go. I'll probably be asleep within an hour because I do breathing exercises and all of my. The whole circles to get me to go to sleep. Oh, my Melatonin.

[Thomas William]

You do melatonin?

[Tig Notaro]

I don't do melatonin, but I do.

[Thomas William]

Magnesium.

[Tig Notaro]

Magnesium. I do. I have the. I'm doing hormone replacement therapy and with a little extra progesterone, I do lion's mane, which is supposed to like, calm you and have dreams and ashwagandha. And I also do a gummy. A sleep gummy.

[Leslie Jones]

Like a CBD thing.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And I do CBD oil. I have like a. To get me to hopefully, wow. Sleep a few hours.

[Thomas William]

What's crazy is like, it's not like someone like we all know Alanna Johnston or Lisa Gilroy. People that operate on a. Like, you're like, oh, yeah, it must be hard for you to wind down. But like, it's not like you're running around chilling.

[Tig Notaro]

You're already pretty chill and you're half asleep right now.

[Leslie Jones]

Well, I also have one eye closed.

[Tig Notaro]

Both have actually been closed until. No, but.

[Thomas William]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

So this is a newer thing though, like with sleep. Yeah. Or has this always.

[Tig Notaro]

No. I remember the first time I noticed it, I was staying at my hotel in Toronto filming Star Trek. It was. I had just done that movie with. It was called Instant Family. I remember calling Stephanie and saying, like, God, I feel like I'm not. I'm having trouble sleeping. Maybe in hotel rooms now. And I thought that's what it was.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And it was just slowly creeping in. But it's like menopause stuff.

[Thomas William]

Oh, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. So, yeah. So I take a picture of the time that I go to sleep so I can see when I actually got in bed. But if I can't fall asleep or I wake up in the night, I never look at the time. Yeah, it gets better because I don't want to add anxiety.

[Thomas William]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't do that.

[Tig Notaro]

So I'd Rather just get up and start my day thinking I maybe slept five hours, even if it was two or three.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

And if you get that like full, deep, deep sleep, you are like, that's better than my.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my gosh. And what I also learned recently is I used to sleep on my stomach or my side.

[Thomas William]

Oh, you switched to back, right?

[Tig Notaro]

I switched to sleeping on my back only. And I'm sleeping better and I wake up having not moved an inch.

[Thomas William]

I want to get there. Yeah, yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

It's better for your face. Your skin too. On your face.

[Thomas William]

Yes.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, I read that.

[Tig Notaro]

Like for wrinkles.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah, I read that. Is it Dita Von Teese who has such porcelain type skin, flawless skin.

[Tig Notaro]

Who is this?

[Leslie Jones]

She's like a burlesque dancer.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

She sleeps on her back because less wrinkles. Like when you're on your side, your face scrunches up.

[Thomas William]

You know who else sleeps on their back is Count Dracula in a coffin. And he has wrinkles galore.

[Leslie Jones]

True, but those were drunk.

[Tig Notaro]

He's been around a while.

[Thomas William]

He's been around. Okay, wait.

[Tig Notaro]

Plus, he's also living off of blood.

[Thomas William]

Better than an orgasm for me.

[Leslie Jones]

Because you love orgasms. Look, no one loves an orgasm more than Mei.

[Thomas William]

No, it's not about even about that.

[Tig Notaro]

I love the group orgasm.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh my God. Everyone together.

[Thomas William]

Oh, no. I love the eroticism of life.

[Leslie Jones]

Don't look at me like that.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I just didn't need that window.

[Leslie Jones]

That's not how you orgasm.

[Thomas William]

I'm gonna say when I have a day to myself and I go to the movie theater in the afternoon by myself, and I eat my popcorn.

[Tig Notaro]

Sometimes that's like I eat my popcorn.

[Thomas William]

You know, I love a movie.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you put. Do you put little snacks in the popcorn? Like an M M?

[Thomas William]

No, absolutely not. I don't mix sweet and salty.

[Leslie Jones]

I love sweet and salty.

[Thomas William]

Really?

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You don't like sweet and salty?

[Thomas William]

No. Never two again.

[Leslie Jones]

God. Popcorn with like M M's or any chocolate. Yum.

[Thomas William]

Like, the happiest moments that I've just thought of in my mind are interestingly all alone. Like they're like. And to do with food and solitude, like going.

[Tig Notaro]

Not taking that personal anger.

[Thomas William]

Like one time I was walking in Toronto, I was maybe a bit stoned. I think I was like 17. It was winter. As you were just there, you know.

[Tig Notaro]

It'S like, even if I hadn't been there. I know. Winter and walking alone.

[Leslie Jones]

And walking alone.

[Thomas William]

And I walked by this movie theater and they were playing Close Encounters of the Third Kind in the middle of the afternoon. Like they played old movies and I went in by myself, had my fresh popcorn. Oh, I just was like, I'm in heaven.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that does. You know, I don't watch a lot of movies, but that does sound appealing to just wander in. Especially not meaning to.

[Thomas William]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I love that kind of stuff.

[Leslie Jones]

You know, I should do that more often.

[Tig Notaro]

Why don't you go now?

[Leslie Jones]

Pop into a movie.

[Tig Notaro]

Why don't you go? I could leave.

[Leslie Jones]

Well, right now I'm busy.

[Tig Notaro]

You on the clock?

[Leslie Jones]

I'm on the clock.

[Thomas William]

What is as relieving or enjoyable as an orgasm?

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, man, orgasms. So, so many of those. I'm. Well, y'all know I love food.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

So you never mention that was a fake laugh.

[Leslie Jones]

It was not. It just came out.

[Tig Notaro]

It was real. But then it turned fake that the second one was. Yeah. It felt like, oh, that's funny. And then you thought it through and you're like, it wasn't that funny.

[Leslie Jones]

And then you went, I. Any food that's like really rich, you know, where you don't want it, you can't eat like a crazy amount of it.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

But when you have those bites and it's so, like yummy and rich, you're. I had a pasta. I didn't order it and I regretted not ordering it. But someone else ordered it.

[Thomas William]

Your happiest memory.

[Leslie Jones]

I know someone else ordered it, but it made me think, I'm gonna go back to order it.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. And because you made a plan.

[Leslie Jones]

I made a plan in my head that I'm gonna go back. It's. It was a lemon pasta and it had caviar on it, which I didn't even know I was into caviar because that's an Aspen.

[Thomas William]

That's all.

[Leslie Jones]

I mean, come on.

[Thomas William]

Oh, my God. It's a lemon.

[Leslie Jones]

Lemon. But I love lemon pasta. But I didn't order it because I was like, Caviar is weird. That part's throwing me off. But a friend of ours ordered it, and then I was like, should I. I literally thought about it for, like. I didn't engage in the conversation, right? Because for, like, 20 minutes, I'm like, should I have ordered the lemon pasta? Because it was a. It was a special, right? And I was like, I probably should have ordered the lemon pasta. And everyone's talking, and I'm just like, lemon pasta. Lemon pasta. Because my brain, like, loves food and thinks about it way too much.

[Tig Notaro]

Your brain? My brain completely unrelated to you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

I have no say in it.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

And then it came, and she goes, you have the first bite. And I was like, no, I can't possibly go, no, no, I can't.

[Tig Notaro]

Pasta ly.

[Leslie Jones]

I can't. Pasta ly. And then I did, and it was like, oh, my God.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

My face went like, oh, my Orgasmic.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, what restaurant was this?

[Leslie Jones]

Chicones.

[Tig Notaro]

Where is this?

[Leslie Jones]

West Hollywood.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

It's a special, but I think they. He said they often have it. And I've since that one bite because then she, like, ate it all. She was really skinny, and I thought she would, like, not finish it because it was really rich. And.

[Tig Notaro]

Who is this? Your friend?

[Leslie Jones]

A friend. And I thought, I'll get some more. But she polished it off.

[Thomas William]

Oh, my God.

[Leslie Jones]

And I was like, glad you liked it. And that's great.

[Thomas William]

Food is, like, the most analogous thing, I think, where your body starts, like. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You start salivating when you see it.

[Thomas William]

When I was 13, I was at a restaurant with my godmother in Greece, and then she got a bacon and onion pie with, like, feta in it, and she took a bite, and I remember her going, this, guys, this is better than sex. And I was 13, and I was so, like, scandalized. I was like, oh, my God. And then I. And then I. I remember eating it, being like, is this what sex is like?

[Leslie Jones]

And, like, really tastes like feta cheese.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was really good, that onion pie.

[Tig Notaro]

And so I had a question.

[Thomas William]

But I had a question about your sleep.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, everyone, let's think of questions for each other.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Thomas William]

So do you ever find that an orgasm helps you sleep?

[Leslie Jones]

It's been a minute.

[Thomas William]

But you could do it on your own, too. It's been a minute.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't feel like anything helps me sleep. That is the problem is, like, actually being in my bed with Stephanie there is helpful. Maybe gives me another extra hour.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, if Stephanie's there, you sleep better.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, interesting.

[Tig Notaro]

In my bed. Our bed.

[Thomas William]

Your nervous system regulates some people.

[Leslie Jones]

Don't some people sleep worse if they're partners with them?

[Tig Notaro]

I know. I've talked to those people, and they're like, I have to sleep in a different room. And not me. I sleep so much better when I'm in bed with Stephanie. But if I sleep through the night, I am doing leprechaun kicks around town.

[Leslie Jones]

Do you ever say to Stephanie before bed, get her done so you can sleep better.

[Thomas William]

Get her done.

[Leslie Jones]

Get her done.

[Tig Notaro]

I.

[Thomas William]

Have you ever said get her done to your wife?

[Tig Notaro]

I have not ever said that, really, anywhere in my life. I remember when I did. I remember when I was on tour at one point years ago, I guess, when that was popular, people would yell that out. And I was like, was that Larry the Cable Guy? I guess.

[Leslie Jones]

But I was like, I think it was Larry the cable guy who just used to say, get her done.

[Thomas William]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

No, there was some other thing. Paris Hilton said that people were yelling out.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, really?

[Tig Notaro]

They were yelling, oh, that's hot.

[Leslie Jones]

They were yelling to you?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I remember people at comedy clubs yelling out, that's hot. Or get her done. And I was like, what?

[Leslie Jones]

You're like, not the right term.

[Tig Notaro]

She's like, I don't know what's happening right now, but. But, yeah, get her done.

[Leslie Jones]

Get her done.

[Tig Notaro]

And get her done just means like.

[Leslie Jones]

Like, do the thing. Do the thing.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Which could be anything.

[Leslie Jones]

It really could.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. All right, in this.

[Thomas William]

In this context, it's onion pie.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

But you. If you had to pick, though, between a movie or an orgasm, you'd probably pick the organ.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, I'm going orgasm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I have a question for you.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, for me. About orgasms.

[Tig Notaro]

No, thank you. Do you. Like you said, you were talking about rich food. What about. I mean, wouldn't frosting be rich? That can be really rich.

[Leslie Jones]

I love it. I have a huge sweet tooth. I love desserts. You know when some people eat a sweet and they're like, it's just too rich.

[Thomas William]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

That doesn't exist. Okay. That's where.

[Leslie Jones]

But, yeah, frosting works.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. Because I'm. It's kind of similar how I don't like a lot of milk in my cereal.

[Leslie Jones]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't like dress. I like dressing on the side so I can just put a little bit.

[Leslie Jones]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't like a lot of sauce.

[Leslie Jones]

But you're healthy.

[Tig Notaro]

But this isn't even healthy. It's just like. I just like sensory, almost a hint of that.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I Have a sweet tooth as well.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But if I have a cupcake, I would prefer that. It's like a fifth of the frosting is on there. Whereas Stephanie, she prefers the frosting over the cake. Right, right, right. And I prefer the cake over the frosting, but I do like the frosting. And Finn's the same way. He's always like, mare. I'm like you. Right. I don't like much milk in his theory.

[Thomas William]

No.

[Leslie Jones]

I'm like a saucy gal.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Slather it in things. Make it more unhealthy.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Make a little sweetness to the salty.

[Tig Notaro]

It would be so interesting if you and I, like, switch eating habits for, like, a month.

[Leslie Jones]

I would lose, like, £20.

[Tig Notaro]

I just. I wonder if.

[Leslie Jones]

And you would gain.

[Tig Notaro]

I wonder if you would. That would be so interesting to do.

[Thomas William]

Or just to switch lives in general. Like what? Like I. Yeah. I'd love to experience a week of either of your lives. And with your friends, you. Sometimes you're like, well, I know what I would do differently in your life. I have friends who I'm like, let me inhabit your brain for a week and I'll fix all your problems.

[Tig Notaro]

What would you do differently about us?

[Thomas William]

Oh, no, nothing. I just want to experience your lives.

[Tig Notaro]

Come on.

[Leslie Jones]

Pick out something bored of mine.

[Thomas William]

No, I'd have fun doing both your material.

[Leslie Jones]

Hang out with Biggie, though.

[Thomas William]

I would really want to do your material.

[Leslie Jones]

Tig and I would get laid. What if we were anime's life.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, oh, oh, I see. But you also would be up all night and you'd also have to read.

[Thomas William]

A bunch of facts. And that's true. You'd be in horror. Horror escape rooms.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, we'd be having orgasms, though.

[Tig Notaro]

That is really.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

But sometimes you'd feel sad after.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, you know, buddy, you just have a cupcake.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Or lemon pasta.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh. With Gabby.

[Tig Notaro]

I just really am like, do you like green smoothies? That kind of thing? Or.

[Leslie Jones]

Mm. Mm.

[Tig Notaro]

No.

[Leslie Jones]

If I'm gonna have a smoothie I.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, you'd also have to be vegan for a month.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, yeah. That's gonna be tough.

[Thomas William]

That'd be tough for me. I would make the food.

[Tig Notaro]

I would feed you.

[Leslie Jones]

I would eat that.

[Tig Notaro]

And you'd make my food.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah, well, I'd have to buy your food. I'm not good at making it.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, I'm not like a chef or anything.

[Leslie Jones]

If I'm drinking a smoothie, I like, like, a almond butter, banana dates, almond milk kind of thing. That's not only chocolate. I Would put blueberries in there, too. Yeah, I like that kind of smoothie.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

But I don't like the ones that taste like vegetables.

[Thomas William]

I remember that Chelsea Handler thing you did where you got. You guys all ate weed at that amazing restaurant. But having been a stoner in the past, like, that food tastes so good when you're.

[Leslie Jones]

And.

[Thomas William]

And seeing you were all just like.

[Leslie Jones]

We were so high.

[Thomas William]

So delighted by each new dish that came out. And I think forgetting that there was weed, I totally forgot cooked into food. And anyway. But I remember, like, I was high till noon the next day, salivating, watching it, because you were all just like, oh, my God.

[Leslie Jones]

I was.

[Tig Notaro]

Would you do it again?

[Leslie Jones]

So high. Yeah, it was fun.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

That's so funny.

[Thomas William]

Put it on the list. We actually.

[Leslie Jones]

That would be funny.

[Thomas William]

That would be really funny. Should we hear what Leslie's answer is?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

Well, for my answer, the most relieving thing or enjoyable thing as an orgasm, if not more, is taking a. When you get older, when you take a good dump, it just feels like you're emptying out. You know what I'm saying?

[Tig Notaro]

Literally.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah. I would. I would almost put that really as on the same level as orgasm, if not better, because. Oh, my goodness. Especially if it comes out all at one time. Like, you don't have to go multiple times. Like, it just comes all out up, and you're like, brush.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. That sound effect.

[Leslie Jones]

I hope that's what y'all wanted.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at her face.

[Leslie Jones]

That's what she wanted.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that's exactly what we wanted.

[Thomas William]

The sound effect that she did for all comes. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, my God, she's a trip.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God, she is so funny. And you know her history on snl. No, no, she.

[Leslie Jones]

Well, she's a writer. For her.

[Tig Notaro]

She was a writer. We had the same manager for years. And maybe I'm not understanding or remembering correctly, but I think he, like, really fought for her to be on the show.

[Leslie Jones]

And Chris Rock, too.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. But she started doing.

[Thomas William]

Weekend Update.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, Weekend Update.

[Thomas William]

Right, right.

[Tig Notaro]

And then was moved to cast member.

[Leslie Jones]

Right?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And it's like she just feels like an obvious.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Cast member.

[Thomas William]

Oh, totally.

[Tig Notaro]

You know? Yeah, she's like, to hide her in a writer's room. Makes no mess on tv.

[Thomas William]

Also, her deadpan what is so good sometimes. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

I heard she just would go up to Lauren and just be like, when.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you putting me on tv?

[Leslie Jones]

You know, everyone's like, like, very intimidated by. And she was not, when am I.

[Tig Notaro]

Going to be on tv?

[Leslie Jones]

That's awesome.

[Tig Notaro]

But that's what I remember. That's what I remember about. But it. It just seemed like she was just always moving up at that.

[Thomas William]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Job.

[Leslie Jones]

I just remember when I started at the Comedy Store, she was. She's such a force, you know?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Leslie Jones]

And she would treat every set like she was going into, like, a game and she had, like, a towel in her back pocket and was just like. Like, amping. And I was like, is it like a sports.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, like, not a board game.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah, yeah, no, like a sports game. And I was like, I need to take this more seriously.

[Thomas William]

I really admire that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I don't break a sweat.

[Leslie Jones]

She was. She was there to entertain. It was fun to watch.

[Tig Notaro]

She does entertain. He does.

[Thomas William]

And the. And she's not wrong, like, about a post poo euphoria. That. That relief if. Especially if you just started dating someone and you're staying at their house and you can't.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, you can't.

[Tig Notaro]

What do you do? You grab a kettle.

[Thomas William]

You grab a cat. No, you can't.

[Leslie Jones]

Hope there's another bathroom. No, you're not gonna walk into.

[Thomas William]

You can't risk it if you're just staying there. You gotta wait till you leave and then you get home. Oh, man. And you're.

[Tig Notaro]

Sounds like it was too late for Fortune. Sounds like Fortune already did this.

[Thomas William]

You already did this.

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, yeah. No, it definitely ruins romance, if that. Even now, 10 years in. Jax is like, what? Really? And I'm like, sorry.

[Thomas William]

I'm very poo positive. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, not for myself.

[Leslie Jones]

If you're at a hotel, I would in early days. Well, even sometimes now. I'll go to the lobby.

[Thomas William]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Go to the lobby.

[Thomas William]

That's.

[Tig Notaro]

You do that now.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Thomas William]

Sometimes I think that's.

[Tig Notaro]

Jax is like, take your business.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

10 floors down.

[Leslie Jones]

She didn't want that to be a part of that. And I understand.

[Thomas William]

I think I. I get that.

[Tig Notaro]

She's not excited about that.

[Leslie Jones]

She's not excited about it. I can't. I don't blame her for that.

[Tig Notaro]

And how do you feel about her? Or has she never.

[Leslie Jones]

Hers really don't make a dent. She's a dainty lady, pure of soul. Yeah. Mine are different. A difference. I need you.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I mean, you got lemon pasta to get rid of.

[Thomas William]

[Leslie Jones]

Oh, man. I'm trying to reel the. I gotta reel all. I got too comfortable. You know what I mean? Farts and stuff. I'm trying to reel all that in.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

To be a little bit more.

[Thomas William]

Bring it here instead.

[Tig Notaro]

Did she sit you down and say.

[Leslie Jones]

Listen, no one's really into that romance wise, you know, So I have. I'm trying to. I'm trying to grow up in that regard and not be so disgusting.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Leslie Jones]

Wow.

[Tig Notaro]

It really has been. And why does Leslie's question and answer not surprise me?

[Leslie Jones]

I've never had it be, though, to that level where it's orgasmic. I don't think so.

[Thomas William]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Maybe you're not fully emptying your bowels.

[Leslie Jones]

Maybe I'm not going Jackson for a few.

[Tig Notaro]

Fully empty your bag.

[Leslie Jones]

Have you ever had a colonic?

[Thomas William]

I mean, like, I could talk for 20 minutes about that.

[Leslie Jones]

Have you had a colonic?

[Thomas William]

I got a Groupon. I think I've talked about it on the podcast. I got a Groupon. I did a cheap colonic in a office building with no roof, basically.

[Leslie Jones]

I don't think so. I don't think we did.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know. It sounds familiar.

[Leslie Jones]

Not familiar.

[Thomas William]

I thought I was gonna be able to, like, be texting. Be, like, to. I. It was excruciating. And it was excruciating. Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

I couldn't text.

[Thomas William]

Ramping. I couldn't text. The woman was like, well, also, she. She was calling me girl. But I really found it soothing in the moment. I was like, I need that from this. What she kept in. Let it out, girl. Let it out. And I was like, yeah. And then she said, you know, you're gonna find it emotional.

[Fortune Feimster]

Emotional.

[Thomas William]

And I said, no, I think I'll be fine. Literally within 20 minutes. I was like, I used to be a drug addict. And she was like, me, too. I was like, oh.

[Leslie Jones]

She was.

[Tig Notaro]

While you were taking it down, she was feeling.

[Leslie Jones]

It was a cloning thing up your butt.

[Thomas William]

Come on.

[Tig Notaro]

Need to be yelled at. Okay. I don't know what you two do. And you're.

[Leslie Jones]

This nurse was. Wasn't part of May pooping.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Leslie Jones]

She was in there.

[Tig Notaro]

The whole lack of intelligence. I thought that she just like, let's go to commercial.

[Leslie Jones]

Started you on this path and left you.

[Thomas William]

That's what I thought going in.

[Leslie Jones]

And because I had a colonic once.

[Tig Notaro]

And the person, oh, me and my colonic.

[Thomas William]

I want to go to, like, don't.

[Leslie Jones]

Feel left out because you have. You haven't had one.

[Thomas William]

You know what, though?

[Leslie Jones]

We've had one.

[Thomas William]

So I couldn't digest anything after.

[Leslie Jones]

So my person got all the stuff up the boat. How dare you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, look at that. Both of you.

[Leslie Jones]

Pods falling apart over a colonic. They put the thing up my butt and then left me being. That's what a colonic is.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, she doesn't want that.

[Leslie Jones]

But May's person was like.

[Thomas William]

It was so intense. She was like, massaging my stomach. Shoes. And I could see the stuff coming out.

[Leslie Jones]

Yeah, you can see it go through the tooth.

[Thomas William]

To go to some.

[Leslie Jones]

Like, mine was not painful.

[Thomas William]

Okay. I just don't know what's going on with me.

[Leslie Jones]

Maybe your groupon.

[Thomas William]

I think it was a. A groupon issue.

[Leslie Jones]

And. And your. Your nurse was, like, really, like, feeling your energy, too.

[Thomas William]

Yeah. I don't know. And she said, you got to come back. I'm only. Anyway, but I didn't. I couldn't go back.

Look, I made a lot of really good friends. I've lived so many places. I have so many friends that I've made. And, you know, it's hard to keep up with everyone, you know, with stand up and touring and jobs and moving around in different cities. But yeah, I had really fun little Windows of time for a year or two here and there in different cities and towns. And Austin was a big moment for me in my life.
