Episode Overview

This week’s Handsome episode takes a heartfelt and hilarious turn as Tig, Fortune, and Mae field a question from Nicolle Wallace (MSNBC, podcast host, former White House Communications Director): “What’s your favorite movie, why, and how often do you watch it?” The trio explores their deeply personal connections to different films, trades stories of nostalgia and formative moments, and debates what makes a “favorite” movie—with a healthy dose of signature wit, playful teasing, and a robust celebration of individual tastes (arty or otherwise).

Along the way, listeners get glimpses of each host’s lives—tour shenanigans, Mother’s Day stories, karaoke memories, and encounters with legends (and their feet).

Host Answers

Tig Notaro: Urban Cowboy

[37:00–44:36]

• Why: Sexual/spiritual awakening; formative for Mae’s sense of identity, fluidity, and family connection (grandparent was in the stage show; watched with parents as a child).

• Personal Anecdote: Learned every word as a child—performed it on the way to school.

---

Guest: Nicolle Wallace — Almost Famous

[56:33–57:30]

• Why: The soundtrack, the ensemble cast, and the journalism subplot.
  • “Philip Seymour Hoffman...is the most brilliant, I think. When he asks him, why are you home? He says, ‘I’m always home. I’m not cool.’”

Chatting with friends on the Handsome Pod. Chatting with friends on the Handsome pod.

[Fortune Feimster]

Cheers.

[Tig Notaro]

Welcome to the Handsome Pod. I'm your host, Tig Notaro, here with

[Fortune Feimster]

May Martin, unfortunate Feamster.

[Tig Notaro]

Hello. Hello.

[Fortune Feimster]

And Ginger Feinster.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, my gosh, Ginger.

[Fortune Feimster]

I just showed you all. As a picture of herself was in the background.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, my God. I can't believe it. So we have a silent audience member for this whole recording.

[Tig Notaro]

Not just a silent audience member. We have a star on our hand.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I was walking across the street with her today in my hometown, and they were like. Someone was like, are you that famous comedian? I go, she sure is.

[Tig Notaro]

That's amazing.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, we. I'm. I'm with her because we spent Mother's Day together.

[Tig Notaro]

How is that?

[Fortune Feimster]

It was lovely. We did a little overnight trip to Atlanta because there was a nice brunch there I wanted to take her to.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

So she said she had the best night's Sleep in the hotel. She had a $25 credit to the room, so she made sure to get $25 worth of snacks from the mini bar.

[Mae Martin]

Good.

[Tig Notaro]

Got two. Wait, tell me about this brunch. What would make you fly to Atlanta for a brunch I'll barely go west side for?

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, I had to be there anyway

[Tig Notaro]

for a work thing, and so it

[Fortune Feimster]

just comes out easy. I wanted to see her on Mother's Day, so it just worked out to have her come there.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, that's nice. But tell me about the brunch. Tell us about, about the brunch.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was at the Four Season. So fancy girl, she put on her yellow sweater cuz that's her favorite color. And we went and brunched it up and they were very sweet and told all the mothers in their. In the room that, you know everybody that was there. I got told several times, happy Mother's Day. I said, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

[Tig Notaro]

Ginger was your daughter?

[Fortune Feimster]

Ginger was my daughter. I was the mom. And yeah, it was like one of those, you know, big, big ass buffets. So we gorged ourselves.

[Tig Notaro]

I would assume that's what's written on the Four Seasons menu is big ass buffet.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was called the big ass Mother's Day buffet. Everywhere from breakfast out, you got your breakfast foods and then you got your like, cutting stations and the sushi.

[Tig Notaro]

And what is a cutting station?

[Fortune Feimster]

Like barbecue for like a beef Wellington kind of thing. And then you got your salad bar and then you got your sushi, and then you got your shrimp cocktail and little lobsters.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, now we're talking shrimp.

[Fortune Feimster]

Here's what I realized. You can't go wasting your, your, the room in your belly on the breakfast foods.

[Mae Martin]

Oh. Because you're more interested in the. You gotta go shrimp. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Well. And so there's nothing fancy breakfast style.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, there was an omelette station if people are in the omelets, but so many.

[Tig Notaro]

I have to be honest, the word station takes the fanciness.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's like a wet. It's like a wedding. You know how weddings have stations? Sure, sure, it's like that. But you know, I got a pancake and a hash brown. And then I was like, what am I doing when there's lobster over there?

[Mae Martin]

Right?

[Fortune Feimster]

You know, I mean, and sushi. But you got Wellington.

[Tig Notaro]

The, the lobsters were like, here she comes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, they don't want to see me coming.

[Tig Notaro]

She put her pancake down.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then, and then my mom and I did get an entire Plate full of desserts.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Each not want.

[Tig Notaro]

That's what we're here for.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. What kind of desserts we talking?

[Fortune Feimster]

In our defense, they were little mini mini.

[Mae Martin]

Right, right, right.

[Fortune Feimster]

So like a little mini, like, lemon tart. A little mini pot de creme.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I've never noticed your accent for

[Fortune Feimster]

fancy when I'm talking about stations.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Little macaroons and little cheesecakes and, you know, we just wanted a little bite of everything, so.

[Tig Notaro]

A big ass Mother's Day buffet. But yeah, a little tiny.

[Fortune Feimster]

Little tiny desserts.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, a little.

[Fortune Feimster]

Which I prefer because I want to have a little bit of everything. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I love little tastes. Everything.

[Fortune Feimster]

Then they have, like, little chocolates. And then I was really gluttonous. I got a little espresso and put one of the chocolates in the espresso.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, fortune.

[Fortune Feimster]

Come on, y'. All.

[Mae Martin]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

You think. You think I'm not getting my money's worth?

[Mae Martin]

Was it all you can eat?

[Fortune Feimster]

It was, but I didn't. I don't think I went crazy. We.

[Mae Martin]

We were gonna get your money's worth, though.

[Fortune Feimster]

We were pretty.

[Tig Notaro]

When you're. When it's fancy, don't they say, all you care to eat?

[Mae Martin]

Oh, is that right?

[Fortune Feimster]

Probably.

[Tig Notaro]

That's what they say. Yeah, all you care that you pretty

[Fortune Feimster]

little ladies can handle. But I. I really was trying to be mindful of not being wasteful, so I didn't, like, get crazy plates. I got what I knew I could eat.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, there's an all you can eat sushi place in Toronto where if you leave anything, then they charge you, but sometimes you want all the different tastes. So me and my friends would sometimes have to hide things under napkins, or we'd be going to the bathroom and tossing, you know, leftover roll in the.

[Tig Notaro]

That sounds like an all you can eat rather than all you can all

[Fortune Feimster]

you care to eat. That's intense. Yeah.

[Mae Martin]

How was your. How was your Mother's Day, Tig?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, thank you for asking.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I was gonna. I was gonna ask that also.

[Tig Notaro]

It's all right if you didn't. Well, we had the absolute pleasure of Max and Finn's godparents coming in town for a few days. And their godmother is, like, my nearest, dearest, oldest pal, one of them. And they used to live here in Los Angeles, but they split time between an island off of Seattle and here. And we just had the best time just on actual Mother's Day. Since you're asking that specifically, we got up and went on a hike at Griffith Park. And then we went to Trails Cafe.

[Mae Martin]

I love Trails.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. Yeah. Which I have to tell you.

[Fortune Feimster]

What'd you say you went? Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, well, here's the thing. We go to Griffith park to hike, and we go to Trails Cafe all the time. When I say all the time. Just when we have a free day on a weekend or something. But it's definitely a go to for our family. And we were sitting there. Max and Finn and their godparents were off at this picnic table, and Stephanie and I were. I was sitting with Stephanie waiting for our food to bring to everyone. And she said she was talking about the owner, like, whoever this person is, and. And like, what a great place this is, and who would that person be? And there was a group of three men standing in line at Trails, pointing and talking about it. And I was like, oh, hi. It was Jemaine from Flight of the Concords who was in line with the owner of Trails Cafe.

[Mae Martin]

No way.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. And we hadn't seen Jermaine in years, and I was truly just looking him in the face and not recognizing him. I wasn't expecting to see him. And the owner of Trails Cafe is his producer for Flight of the Concords.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, no way.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And so I was like, what? And the guy that owns the place, this guy Mickey, he was like, I want to thank you for always talking about Trails Cafe. And then here I am doing it again. And he said, people come to the cafe all the time, and they're like. Tig was talking about it, and he was like, I've never seen you here. And I was like, I've never seen you here. And so. And our son Finn was saying on the way to the hike, he was like, there should be Trails Cafes everywhere. And then when we were talking to Mickey, he said, we're opening a new Trails Cafe. It was. It was so wild. So we. We do our hike. It's so fun. We go to Trails Cafe. And then we went back to our office and swam and just had. And then we had Pura Vita, our favorite Italian vegan restaurant.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, look, what a.

[Tig Notaro]

And then Stephanie invited her dad over, and we listened to vinyl all night, and our kids got turned on to Led Zeppelin.

[Fortune Feimster]

Whoa.

[Mae Martin]

That's a big moment.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, massive. And he and Finn was like, mayor, can we bring Led Zeppelin home to play on our record player? And I was like, absolutely. And this morning, we got up and we were rocking out to Led Zeppelin at breakfast time.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Anyway, that was my mother's day.

[Mae Martin]

Speaking of Led Zeppelin. So I'm finishing. Today's my last day of my tour. I'm finishing up.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're celebrating. We see that you're celebrating with a bathtub in the background.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, I'm celebrating with a sexy tits in tub.

[Tig Notaro]

It would have been more of a celebration if you were in the tub, but you should. Yeah, I feel like Fortune would have done that.

[Mae Martin]

I mean, we're finished. The podcast. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, there's time for you to get in that thing for sure. Go to Hulu.

[Mae Martin]

So I'm in Nashville and I'm like, you know, wrapping up the tour. And last night I was talking to Jeff the bus driver, and finally we addressed my toilet fiasco, because we haven't spoken about it, that I. That I clogged the toilet twice. And he had to remove the toilet from the bus completely and then replace it.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Not a hot topic.

[Mae Martin]

Not a hot topic. He brought it. He was like, well, so you clogged the toilet? And I was like, okay, we're doing it. We're doing it. And I was like, yeah, sorry, Jeff. But then he. He was dropping these pearls of experiences he's had on the bus that. I mean, because he told me about Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, and then he's been. He's buried the lead. He said one night he was at Coachella and on the very bus that I've been on, Robert Plant, Paul McCartney, the who, and someone else. Oh, Roger Waters. And he said that they were all just on the bus, jamming, chatting.

[Tig Notaro]

Unbelievable.

[Mae Martin]

What are you talking about? And he said he had to. I said, have you ever had anyone really trouble? And he was like, oh, yeah. And then he said, I had to kick off Biggie Smalls off the. This is wild. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

So he's seen some things.

[Nicole Wallace]

He's.

[Tig Notaro]

He really has.

[Mae Martin]

And he's. I'm a little worried because he had a little journal and a pencil, and he says, I write down everything, so I know I'm in there.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, what I was going to say is the May Martin clogging the toilet relentlessly is going into the ears of Robert Plant, Roger Waters. Oh, my God, Roger Daltrey, all of these rockers.

[Mae Martin]

I know, I know. That's going to be my legacy. But he said that if I give him something to get signed by Paul McCartney, he might be able to do it because he knows Paul McCartney's manager and Paul McCartney, that's like my number one dream in the world is to meet Paul McCartney.

[Tig Notaro]

Paul McCartney's manager.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. He had to Meet his manager. God, that guy must work hard, you know, Got a lot to learn from him. But I want to get this Rupert the Bear stuffed animal signed or something, because he. Paul McCartney, did an animated Rupert the Bear thing in the 80s. That was a huge part of my family and my childhood. And I think it's niche enough that maybe Paul would be like, oh, somebody really knows my work.

[Tig Notaro]

That's good, man. That's good.

[Mae Martin]

Thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

Can you do that, Fortune?

[Fortune Feimster]

Somebody knows my work.

[Mae Martin]

Hey, that was good, too.

[Tig Notaro]

Somebody knows my work.

[Mae Martin]

Hey, I think we found the phrase. The phrase that the Beatles impression works the best on.

[Tig Notaro]

It's kind of like, rise up, blades.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Rise of blades.

[Tig Notaro]

Rise.

[Fortune Feimster]

I feel like you will meet him.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, God, I hope so.

[Fortune Feimster]

Seems like something obtainable.

[Mae Martin]

I know Ringo would be easier to meet because he's, like, playing casinos in Niagara. Like, I think you could just walk up maybe and say hi. But Paul has, like, snipers everywhere he goes. Like, when he's performing, he's. He's pretty impenetrable, but apparently he's super nice. I know. Tig, this I. The way I'm, like, angry at. Not angry. But I can't let the Lannis thing go with Fortune. Tig, the one story that you have that makes my blood boil is that you and Stephanie had the opportunity to hang with McCartney and were like, nah, we gotta catch a flight.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, it wasn't that simple of a decision. I mean, we were really, really struggling, and Stephanie would have done it. I was the one that had, like, a 6:00am flight.

[Mae Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

And we were just leaving that PETA event where his guy came out and was like, hey, Paul's having this party. Do you guys want to come? And I was like, oh, God. I mean, a 6:00am flight, you know, I struggle with my sleep.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I'm just not 39. Like, you may listen, I'm a fragile. But also, I told you, I saw. I saw Ringo in line at Erewhon.

[Mae Martin]

Did you tell me that? I don't think you told me this.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, it's true. And then I saw Paul. I had dinner next to Paul at a vegetarian restaurant probably 20 years ago.

[Mae Martin]

Wow.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. But never met anybody. But those are. I can't believe I even came that close to any beetle.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, yeah, that's wild. That's twice. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Twice with Mr. McCartney.

[Mae Martin]

Wow.

[Tig Notaro]

But anyway, apologies for not seeing that through.

[Mae Martin]

No, listen, it wasn't the right time. The right time will present itself.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

It has to be before 8pm for me. Right?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. It can't be one of these late situations.

[Tig Notaro]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Mae Martin]

The last time I was in Nashville was with you guys and after our live show and I went out to that gay bar with Thomas and did karaoke. So I'm wondering. It's the last night of my tour and I'm on my own. I don't have like an improviser with me. I had Lisa Gilroy this week, but I'm just by myself, so I'm like, should I do the same thing? Should I tell the audience I'm going to this bar and see?

[Tig Notaro]

So you bring a guest in for a week of shows.

[Mae Martin]

It was my friend Matt did two and a half months, and then Lisa just did this last leg because Matt was. He's in Asia right now. But Lisa was so fun. People were so pumped to see her. It was.

[Tig Notaro]

Of course, it was really.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

She's so ridiculous.

[Mae Martin]

Ridiculous. Yeah. And it's like a. It was like a four day sleepover with the friend. You know, like getting to wake up with your friends is really special.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Because y' all were on the bus.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

At first I was thinking you were in that room with the bed that has a tub right beside it.

[Mae Martin]

O. That a four day sleepover with a friend in a tub room would be a different experience.

[Fortune Feimster]

That would be a relationship that would be like codependent.

[Tig Notaro]

[Tig Notaro]

And what it what did you reach out to your mother on Mother's Day? May. Did you send any Mother's day love around? I know I didn't hear from you.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, yeah, sorry about that. I did. I, I got, I, I feel quite panicked about it leading up to it, like wanting to do the right thing. And also they're up so early in Toronto and it's, it's the time differences. By the time I wake up it's like 2pm And I'm like, does she think I'm not gonna call? So then I have to call right away. But I sent some flowers and a massage gift card and called and we talked about Survivor. It's the, one of my favorite things in our relationship is that my mom loves Survivor as much as I do and we did a full half hour breakdown of who could win season 50, what the strategies would be. It's, I mean her, she is so opinionated. My mom, it's great.

[Fortune Feimster]

Is season 50 special?

[Tig Notaro]

Season 50? Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

This show was on when I was in college.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. Season 50 with the same host. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Crazy.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. So it is a special one. It's all returning players.

[Tig Notaro]

So what do they, how do you do, do they like put do two seasons in a year.

[Mae Martin]

Two seasons in a year. Now that's a lot.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at me crunching numbers over here.

[Fortune Feimster]

You are a cruncher. That's a lot of surviving.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. And it really is like the ancient Greek gods for me because it's like these larger than life Characters who I've grown up watching, I've seen them as 21 year olds. Now they're 45, you know, and they're like, you know, they fight amongst themselves and flirt amongst themselves and they, you know, they're flawed and they are relatable and there's all these backstories. It's pretty Shakespearean at this point. I'm, I could write a lot about it. I love it. Like this guy, this guy Ozzy. I'll stop in a sec. But this guy Ozzy, who, if you watch Survivor, he's one of the greats, but he's never won and he's like, he always makes the same mistake. Like he, he too trusted.

[Fortune Feimster]

Too trusting.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. And he's great at challenges, but his social game isn't that great. And, but this season he was playing so, so well and I think he got a little ahead of himself and he started kind of, he took his eye off the ball and then he got voted out in this recent episode and his reaction, because mostly it's season 50, people get voted out and they go, ah, guys, you know, what an honor to play with you again. What a season it's been. Oh, you got me. Not Ozzy. He, he turns, he realizes he's been blindsided. He turns and just stares at everyone. He says, I trusted you. And then he stands up and he walks really slowly over to Jeff and he gets his torch snuffed. And you think, oh, my God, he's not going to say a word. And then he slowly turns around, he goes, good luck, guys. And it was like so relatable because that's how you'd be feeling, like you betrayed me. And he just, he didn't have the sort of slick veneer of like, oh, like you. Yeah. And I, I like that.

[Tig Notaro]

That is the worst feeling.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, can you imagine when someone tells you they're like disappointed in you?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, no, to realize that you were, when I say playing a game, like not even playing a game, you were just, you were moving forward in something that you thought was a particular thing. And then, and it's like, whoa, there's a whole complicated dance of backstabbing.

[Mae Martin]

Can you imagine watching it back?

[Tig Notaro]

That's crazy.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. And when you watch it back and you see the side conversations where they go, we gotta get them out, it must be deeply psychologically scarring.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, God, yeah.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But at least on Survivor, you know what you're watching, that people are going to be backstabbing, lying, doing all of those things. I'm talking about like when you're just scooting around in life and then you're like, wait, what?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, you just blew my mind.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

That is. That is a wild feeling. If I can put it lightly, the

[Mae Martin]

rug pull of like.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Mae Martin]

Nothing that I thought was real was real.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Like, especially on reality television, who would have seen that coming?

[Tig Notaro]

That's what I'm saying, though. It's like you're of course, expecting it there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But it's like, you know, in life

[Mae Martin]

when like, family lore is revealed or something that you're like, I have friends who find out in their teens that, like, you know, their mom's really their. I can't think of an example, actually, but you know what I mean?

[Tig Notaro]

But yes. Yeah. Or there's like weird twisted back channel stuff where you're like, wait a minute.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

What is happening? Yeah, it's. It's hot. It's. It just comes in to the brain and the heart like a. A freight train. And then you have to go, okay.

[Mae Martin]

And you have to try not to let it affect your worldview too much. Like, because you do have to kind of take people at face value and. And trust people in life and. Yeah. But.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And here we are in. In Hollywood where it's, oh, who can you trust? Who can you trust?

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know. I don't know. It's always stick together.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Let's hold hands and twirl around in a circle.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And keep it open. I mean, handsome.

[Mae Martin]

After seeing Thomas, you know, play laser tag, I don't know if I can trust him.

[Fortune Feimster]

I actually just played laser tag with some friends the other day and I thought of you.

[Tig Notaro]

No way.

[Fortune Feimster]

I haven't seen you since. It happens.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, my God. How was it?

[Fortune Feimster]

It was fun.

[Tig Notaro]

We may feels betrayed.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

My friends and had some. Some teen. Teenage kids. So we all played and yeah, it was. I got third place, dude.

[Mae Martin]

That's good.

[Fortune Feimster]

Out of four, right?

[Mae Martin]

Okay. Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

But it. I definitely think I would get better if I did it more. Yeah. I was bad at the aiming.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, right. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And also the teenage. The teenagers would sneak up on you, of course. And I'm like, God dang it.

[Mae Martin]

But isn't it crazy how wrapped up in it you get right away, like, you think, oh, yeah, this will be fun. And then your heart's pounding, you're hiding.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was a lot of. I was sweating at the end of it. I was like, this is a lot longer of a game than I anticipated. And it's a lot more Movement than I realized.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And.

[Tig Notaro]

And did you get totally sucked in in the way that May is saying?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, you get into it because you're in the little maze and you're trying to, like, hide from people and then sneak up on people and.

[Tig Notaro]

And do you have a sense of like, oh, God, oh, my. Go behind me? Oh, no.

[Fortune Feimster]

I just didn't understand where people were coming from.

[Mae Martin]

Right. When you see the little laser dot on you and you can't find the source. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're like, what? What? How'd you get back there? So it is weird to have to hold the.

[Mae Martin]

The front of the gun.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't like that part.

[Mae Martin]

Right.

[Fortune Feimster]

So I felt like I was not getting shots in because maybe my hand was coming off of that.

[Tig Notaro]

And was your vest. Because remember y' all were saying, like, if you get hit, your vest deflates.

[Mae Martin]

Did you have that for five seconds?

[Fortune Feimster]

It, like, goes off?

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think I also made a mistake of choosing the color red.

[Mae Martin]

It stands out more.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think red stands out more. I should have done, like, yellow.

[Mae Martin]

Ginger's favorite color.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, Ginger's favorite color. You want to see the T shirt my mom's wearing?

[Mae Martin]

Yes, please.

[Tig Notaro]

Of course. Whatever.

[Fortune Feimster]

Sit up for a second.

[Mae Martin]

Whatever you can show. We want to see.

[Fortune Feimster]

Show us her toes.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, we'll get her on a sexy footside.

[Fortune Feimster]

A fan gave me this shirt and she's commandeered it. All right. See, she's using her hair right now. Hold on, you guys. She's doing a lot of this. Your mouth is good.

[Tig Notaro]

All we want are the toes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Can you see what it says?

[Mae Martin]

Something feamsters.

[Fortune Feimster]

We're feemsters.

[Mae Martin]

We're feemsters. Oh, that's really nice, Ginger.

[Fortune Feimster]

You like that shirt, Mom? I like this shirt.

[Mae Martin]

That is beautiful.

[Tig Notaro]

That is good looking.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's right. She's. She's rocking it. So can we see her feet? You don't want to see those.

[Tig Notaro]

Tell her that. She could end up, you know, people raiding her feet. Do you want to show your bare

[Fortune Feimster]

feet so you can get on wiki feet? No, no, she just shot that and

[Tig Notaro]

she knows what that is.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you know what wiki feed is? She said no.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, okay, that makes sense.

[Fortune Feimster]

She assumes it's something perverted.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. You know, her instincts are right on

[Fortune Feimster]

ugly. It's not just. It's not ugly feet.

[Tig Notaro]

They rate.

[Fortune Feimster]

They rate your feet. So I guess it could be ugly feet. Yeah, we don't want to rate her feet.

[Mae Martin]

No.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm not sure how good the scores would be. Us femsters as it says on her shirt, aren't known for our feet.

[Mae Martin]

Really?

[Fortune Feimster]

Just see yours. You can't, our magnetic personalities.

[Tig Notaro]

You can't tell us that you're not known for your feet and not show us. Oh, your, your bear claws.

[Fortune Feimster]

She just said we're not known for SAT scores either. Okay. Well, Ginge. Yeah, that's great. I, I, if anyone gives me anything for her, she's like rocking it out right away.

[Mae Martin]

I love that.

[Tig Notaro]

That's hilarious.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

My mother would never.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, this one loves stuff. I walked in, her whole table's full of, you know, people send her cards and stuff and, and occasionally some presents. She keeps playing that cancer card and fortune.

[Mae Martin]

We find out it's a scam.

[Nicole Wallace]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And they. Her table's full. I said, well, you have to start going through these. You can't keep everything. But she doesn't hold on to it all.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. I'm shipping everything back from this leg of the tour. Like the, the funny little gifts and things.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Did you get a hotel room to treat yourself on your final night or have you been just staying in a hotel room every night?

[Mae Martin]

No, we've been busing and then the bus leaves us today at 6:30. So I'll stay in a hotel tonight and then.

[Tig Notaro]

But when you get to a town, are you. No, sticking to the bus. Okay.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, sticking to the bus.

[Tig Notaro]

I did Denver and where at the Paramount.

[Mae Martin]

It's kind of blurring into one.

[Tig Notaro]

I can't.

[Fortune Feimster]

I bet it was there.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Are you, are you relieved to have a little break? Break you poo.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. I mean, I'm emotional. I mean, I'm always emotional just to wake up in the morning. But I, I've, I've complained about being tired so much. And then of course today I'm like, when can I do this again? I, I'm gonna miss everyone. I got such a good group. I really lucked out.

[Tig Notaro]

That's awesome. Nothing better than a good group.

[Mae Martin]

And I had a good cry yesterday at the meet and greet. Like there was a woman who, she said, I'm pregnant and I just can't stop crying. She said, I've been crying since the last song you played. And now I'm crying all through the meet and greet. And she was like, I'm not crazy. I just can't stop crying. And then I started crying, then her mom started crying and then another woman who's talking about her trans kid who saw feel good. And that just gets me, man.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Mae Martin]

And when parents are crying and worried about the future and yeah, yeah, it was very wholesome. Yeah, Very, very nice. There is one sneaky little lady, though, who keeps showing up and trying to scramble backstage and stuff, and that's not good.

[Fortune Feimster]

Scramble backstage here.

[Tig Notaro]

Let me make a public service announcement.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes, go ahead.

[Tig Notaro]

Please stop acting weird. Everybody, please stop acting weird.

[Fortune Feimster]

They mainly act weird with me, don't you think?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, you listen. There's different days in people's lives where people cross boundaries, they act weird, they. They do things sneakily. Just stop being weird. Yeah, stop it. Yeah, stop right now. And yeah, look at yourself and go, I think I've been weird, maybe doing this or that. Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't think people that do that stuff have that kind of.

[Tig Notaro]

That's why I'm trying to make this announcement. Look at yourself and say.

[Fortune Feimster]

They're literally going, who? Who's.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, no, I'm talking to you. Reel it in.

[Fortune Feimster]

I wonder who takes this addressing right now.

[Tig Notaro]

Stop being weird.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I can't wait to see my best friend May.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm gonna sneak in back here because I'm sure May would want me here. Yeah, May, we'll invite you if May want you there. Should we get to our question?

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

code handsome in partnership with Airbnb. Let's talk about our spring travel plans.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune.

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

I feel like every summer my family gets a little bit more adventurous with our travel plans, but there's a hitch.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh yeah? What might that be?

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

They're now getting really into competitive sports, and that means we're now traveling around their team schedules.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hmm. Let me guess. They're having you stay in a bare bones hotel on the side of a highway somewhere.

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

And that's right. So for the next big weekend, we decided to mix things up and find a home on Airbnb to stay at instead. We found a place with a massive yard so they could keep playing baseball with their pals on the team day and night. Plus, it's got a pool, unlike the hotel we were supposed to stay at. It's even got a tree house.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wow, that sounds incredible. But I have one important question for you. Is there a hot tub?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Fortune, there is indeed a hot tub. So maybe after the boys go to

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

bed, Stephanie and I will have some tub time together. And that's what I love about finding a place on Airbnb. Instead of being trapped in our room, we get this whole unique experience. So if you're listening, go check out Airbnb and have your own adventure.

[Tig Notaro]

Today's Question is brought to you by AT&T.

[Mae Martin]

Today's question asker is a political commentator and author who once served as the White House Communications director. Nicole Wallace is asking today's question.

[Tig Notaro]

Nice.

[Nicole Wallace]

Hi, handsome. It's Nicole Wallace from msnow and the Best People podcast. Thanks for asking me to ask a question. So here's my question. It's one of my favorite things to talk about. What's your favorite movie? Wait, it's a three part question. Because that's what I do, right? Ask three part questions. How often do you have to see it for it to stay your favorite movie. Why do you love it so much? And when was the last time you watched it?

[Mae Martin]

Great question.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Movies, great questions.

[Mae Martin]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

Three parter. Me.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I feel weird answering this question because I love movies, but I'm not like a cinephile. So, like, my, listen, I am. Well, my. Some people just have these lists where you're like these artsy, you know, coveted films, and mine are never that.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. You know, when they do, like, the Criterion Collection or someone, they do that thing where they go into a cupboard with all the movies and you have to talk about your four favorite movies and people are saying things that I'm like, there's no way that's your favorite.

[Fortune Feimster]

They're always like Citizen Kane. And I'm like, oh, my God,

[Mae Martin]

watch that every year.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, well, I'll just go first unless somebody else wants to. And I just want to say out of the gate. Also, I am also not a cinephile. I, I, if you haven't seen it, I have a show called Under a Rock with Tig Notaro that you can find online still. And I don't follow a lot of pop culture, but, boy, do I love urban cowboy. Have I talked about that? Oh, yeah, of course. Yes.

[Mae Martin]

Is it Travolta?

[Tig Notaro]

John Travolta and the incomparable Deborah Winger.

[Fortune Feimster]

You do you have talked about your love for her as well.

[Tig Notaro]

I just think she is such a phenomenal actress. And, and I'll, I'll be honest, you know, I probably didn't follow TV and film much past the 70s. You know, Teeter, I think this came out in 80 maybe, but I think I love watching it because I think it's a great movie. I also think there's a comfort to it because I lived in Texas when it came out, and it was about, like, urban cowboys.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I was surrounded by urban cowboys. I mean, you see like, big old cowboy hat buckles, a big old buckle on their, you know, starched wrangler blue jeans and, and western shirt and, and boots at walking through the city, literally through the city or through the suburbs. And so it just, there's something, even though that wasn't my reality, there's something just so familiar about the scene.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. I just googled it. So it's like a sort of coming of age. John Travolta stars as Bud Davis, a young man who moves to Pasadena, Texas, and navigates love, marriage, and adulthood while hanging out at Gillies, a massive honky

[Tig Notaro]

tonk bar, which was a real place.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, no, Way.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. In Pasadena, Texas, which everyone called Pasa. Stinky Dina. Because it was industrial.

[Mae Martin]

Stinky Dina.

[Tig Notaro]

Stinky Dina. When you drove through Pasadena, just smelled horrendously. And, and, and. And Gillies was an actual bar.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wow. Like roadhouse.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. But it. It was owned by the country singer Mickey Gilly. And. Mickey Gilly. I think I. Can you look this up? Thomas. I feel like he maybe got in trouble. He might have been. Who burned it down to get insurance money.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, no, it got burnt down.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I think they rebuilt it. But anyway, Gillies had the mechanical bowl and it was like not the one like on Hollywood or in. On Sunset Boulevard where people. Whatever that place is, but this was like a real honky tonk.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Mechanical bull cowboys.

[Fortune Feimster]

Any lawn dancing?

[Tig Notaro]

Of course, girl.

[Mae Martin]

It says yeah. Centers on themes of jealousy, gender roles and finding identity through mechanical bull riding. I love that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. It's just so good. And it's. Look, there's a lot of like, you know, heavy drinking and a fighting and a biting. But like I love to settle in and watch Urban Cowboy.

[Mae Martin]

It sounds like a western version of Saturday Night Fever. Almost like it's.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And. And John Travolta. I mean, if you found him remotely attractive in the 70s or 80s, he is like peak. Peak John Travolta.

[Fortune Feimster]

Look who's talking.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Thomas is typing.

[Mae Martin]

Sherwood Crier was the co owner of Gillies. And there was a rumor he was

[Advertiser/Announcer]

beyond behind the fire, but that was never proven.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. I remember hearing something. Something. So my apologies to Mickey Gilly for even suggesting.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh my God. How dare you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. I just remember hearing when Mickey. When. When Gillies burned to the ground. And also I have to acknowledge the soundtrack for Urban Cowboy.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Looking for love in all the wrong places. Too many faces.

[Mae Martin]

The right place to look for love is mechanical bull.

[Tig Notaro]

Absolutely. Gotta head on out to pass a stinky Dina.

[Fortune Feimster]

Pass a stinker.

[Tig Notaro]

And that's what I call the Pasadena here in California. Even though it doesn't smell bad. I.

[Mae Martin]

Or do you watch the movie like once a year or how. When was the last.

[Tig Notaro]

No, no. Probably every five to seven years.

[Mae Martin]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've never seen it. Maybe on our wellness weekend we can also watch that.

[Tig Notaro]

That is the opposite of meditating veganism. What?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. What if we're like sitting on a couch with like the. I don't like a face. Yeah, with the face laser. What's the. The red light mask on and maybe like May's foot massager.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. The chill chair.

[Fortune Feimster]

Can't. Can't we Be doing multiple wellness things while washing it.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, look, I'm always up for Urban Cowboy, but it is truly. These are people fighting in trailers.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay, perfect.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, oh, my gosh.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's.

[Tig Notaro]

That's my movie. Wait, what is the other question? How many it said, why do you

[Fortune Feimster]

love it so much? And when was the last time you. Oh, okay. That you watched it? So I think.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I don't know. The last time I watched it, I would guess it was probably in the past five years. But we do have a framed movie poster that Stephanie surprised me with. It's in our. What we call our chill out room where we have the big old screen tv.

[Mae Martin]

And did you have. You showed it to Stephanie? I, like, had.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah, yeah. She was completely unfamiliar, and she was like, oh, my God, I love this. And I talked about it somewhere else, and then somebody was screening it and asked me to come host. Host the screening. And you bet I was down there. And then I've had the pleasure of meeting Deborah Winger and. And becoming online friends, even though we know I'm not online anymore, but. And just gushing to her. What Just genius actress I think she is. That's all. End of story. Next.

[Mae Martin]

Okay, I know mine.

[Fortune Feimster]

All right. Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

And Citizen Kane.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, it's Citizen Kane.

[Fortune Feimster]

It is.

[Mae Martin]

If, like, gun to my head, God forbid, laser to my head. I'm saying, rock your picture show. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Classic me.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

I really am.

[Mae Martin]

Because I've talked about it so much before, but it's got everything for. Because I was gonna say stand by me, but so much of my identity is, like, horniness that. For the.

[Fortune Feimster]

For the movie, like, are you still very horny?

[Mae Martin]

Always? Oh, my God, yeah. Or just like, I'm really fueled by, like, crushing word. I know. It is a gross word.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. So gross.

[Fortune Feimster]

Horny.

[Tig Notaro]

But you heard me the first time.

[Fortune Feimster]

Come on.

[Mae Martin]

More like. Like, we need to get you hornier.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

And.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, I just saw it at such a formative. I probably watch it once a year. And the songs are so good, the performances. Tim Curry is so good. And I just think it's flawless. And it was. It's. It was so formative in terms of my sexuality and my identity and. And it was like, don't dream it. Be it. That's like the, you know, ethos movie. And. And. And, yeah, it's. It's all fluidity. There's no labels. Everyone's just hooking up and naked.

[Tig Notaro]

How old were you when you first saw it?

[Mae Martin]

I was five years old, but my parents did fast Forward the sex scenes when I was five and you're like,

[Fortune Feimster]

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. By the time I was five and a half, I'd found a way to.

[Tig Notaro]

You had yourself a horn dog.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let me see that.

[Mae Martin]

But they showed it to me because of the family connection, because my grandpa was in the stage show and. And playing the narrator and. And my dad loves it so much. So. But then my dad and I knew every word. And so on the drive to school, we would just act it out from the beginning, like word for word, and see how far we could get into the movie.

[Fortune Feimster]

Whoa.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, it was really fun. And I probably am on the spectrum. I memorized every beat when I was little. And then recently there was some charity event where Kate Beckinsale was going to play Frank N. Furter and do some songs. And they reached out and said, would I put play Rocky, which is my. Who I've modeled my. Like I want.

[Tig Notaro]

You were born to do kid.

[Mae Martin]

Yes. Rocky. He's a creature created for sex.

[Tig Notaro]

As in the boxer, as in from mask.

[Fortune Feimster]

Rocky with Sharon.

[Mae Martin]

Rocky's like, I can't.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm trying to picture Sly Stone in this.

[Mae Martin]

No way.

[Tig Notaro]

Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[Mae Martin]

That's the antithesis. But yeah, I couldn't. Schedule wise, I couldn't do it. But I really wanted to.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, yeah. There's a. Currently a Broadway. It's on Broadway at the moment.

[Mae Martin]

I know. And it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Are you gonna go see that?

[Mae Martin]

I would love to list it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Keep showing them up on my tick tock.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. It looks so good.

[Tig Notaro]

Luke.

[Fortune Feimster]

What's his face, Evan?

[Mae Martin]

It's Luke Evans.

[Fortune Feimster]

His big old wean.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Keep showing up in my tick tock. Tig. I'm just telling you the facts here. He's wearing this.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't want to hear about it

[Fortune Feimster]

that like specifically hugs the ween.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm gonna go to commercial.

[Fortune Feimster]

You know how there's like Speedos where, like you can see stuff, but it's. There's more material.

[Tig Notaro]

Like you even understand what stuff you're seeing. You don't know. And don't even pretend I have an

[Fortune Feimster]

idea what's in there.

[Tig Notaro]

No, you don't.

[Fortune Feimster]

But the.

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

But.

[Fortune Feimster]

But there's this. There's a new type of Speedo that like specifically just like very tight around the wiener.

[Tig Notaro]

There's a new like, where is Ginger right now?

[Fortune Feimster]

She left.

[Tig Notaro]

I bet she did.

[Fortune Feimster]

She wouldn't mind this conversation. She does.

[Tig Notaro]

She deserves better.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm telling you. Look up the tick tock or whatever of his. Whatever do you think I'm going to

[Tig Notaro]

be googling this TikTok Speedo.

[Fortune Feimster]

You should go back online just to look this up.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you'll see that it's different than just a regular, like, underwear speedo situation. It's hugging it.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

I had that.

[Mae Martin]

I got.

[Fortune Feimster]

You know what I'm saying? You need me to show you again?

[Tig Notaro]

I need you to move on hugging it.

[Fortune Feimster]

I need you.

[Tig Notaro]

Go ahead, little cowboy.

[Mae Martin]

I was just gonna say, like, introducing people to that movie who haven't seen it is so good, too. And last Halloween, I took Parvati to see it in a. In Big Bear in a movie theater. They were screening it, and I thought it was going to be one of those wild, raucous ones where everyone's singing along and it was just like, 12 silent people.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Mae Martin]

And then. But I got up and did the time warp and was the only person doing that. But Parvati, when she saw it, she was like, oh, this explains everything. Like, this is.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't want to get off track here, but to go back to Survivor. Was your mother excited to meet Parvati?

[Mae Martin]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, that's all I need to know.

[Mae Martin]

They are deep fans. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune Marie, and keep it clean. Oh, God.

[Fortune Feimster]

All right, then I. Then I guess no Dirty Dancing.

[Mae Martin]

That's clean. Compared to win, that's pretty perfect.

[Tig Notaro]

My friend in Element or in junior high or high school thought that song said cheese like the Wizard.

[Fortune Feimster]

She's like the Wiz. I could see that. She's like, I have a couple of movies that, in different parts of my life, were my favorite. I've talked about before that as a kid, I watched the Sound of Music, like, religiously.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And would fast forward the part in the monastery, though, and, you know, the Climb Every Mountain. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Get to the Speedos.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. So I don't. I've always loved musicals, so that one, for whatever reason, just really tickled me. So I love that. And then I would. Then Dirty Dancing I definitely was obsessed with for a long part of my childhood and that soundtrack as well. And I thought Patrick Swayze was so dreamy.

[Mae Martin]

They hated each other. Right. Which I. When you.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think so. Yeah.

[Mae Martin]

And when you watch it, you're like,

[Tig Notaro]

wait, who hated each other?

[Mae Martin]

Jennifer Gray.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, but in their real life, despise,

[Mae Martin]

like, big fights and not speaking and. But I don't know, whatever it was worked because their chemistry is so good. Wow.

[Fortune Feimster]

I know. It was. That movie was like, I can, like, name all the scenes and lines and I just was obsessed with it and. Yeah. And Johnny, you know. Yeah. I mean, guy carrying a watermelon. Nobody puts baby in the corner. I mean, come on. Does it get better than that? I don't think so.

[Tig Notaro]

In.

[Fortune Feimster]

He's dancing and they're all dancing together. Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Never saw it.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, no.

[Tig Notaro]

I told you, I tapped out.

[Guest Speaker (possibly Fortune Feimster continuing)]

And after.

[Mae Martin]

God.

[Tig Notaro]

Thomas is even disappointed, shaking his head.

[Mae Martin]

You gotta watch Dirty Dance.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

I just, like. I loved all the couples just, like, dirty.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I wanted to get in on that right between them.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it'd be amazing if you scooted in between there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, there's like, a talent show that they have during the movie at one point, and I. I always felt like if, you know, I. I would have been cast as the, like, chubby son of the owner who had to perform.

[Tig Notaro]

The son.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, he, like, like, was like a dork who was like. The owner was like, my son is great. He's like a fat, dorky guy. I actually, you know, don't talk about

[Tig Notaro]

my friend like that.

[Mae Martin]

You know, that's the sex scene in Wayward where I crawl on the floor. I was, of course, thinking about Dirty Dancing. And when he. When he crawls across to her baby.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, sweet baby, you're the one.

[Mae Martin]

So good.

[Fortune Feimster]

God, that soundtrack is incredible.

[Mae Martin]

So are you.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you urban cowboy? Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Before it's time, I was talking about abortion.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, people can hear you say that,

[Fortune Feimster]

even though Whisper talking about that.

[Tig Notaro]

This.

[Fortune Feimster]

How you had to talk about it when I was watching this at 7.

[Mae Martin]

Is that. So is that your favorite?

[Fortune Feimster]

Would you say that's, like, probably the one that I know better than anything, but I guess in my adult times, my favorite movie would be Bridesmaids.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah. I just watched it on the tour bus and it holds up.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Funny.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

Really?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God.

[Mae Martin]

Wow.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wellness weekend's now turning into movie weekend.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, it's movie weekend.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Oh, that would be a good. Remember how we were saying we could have different kinds of weekends where I'd want wellness weekend, Watch the sun come up journal.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Eat vegan. Then we could have movie weekends.

[Mae Martin]

We just become slugs.

[Tig Notaro]

So who would be. Moo. Who would be heading up movie weekend out of the two of you?

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, I wouldn't mind being charged, but my couch isn't very big for all of us.

[Mae Martin]

No, we're. We're. We're renting it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, we're renting a cabin. We need a big, comfy couch, though,

[Mae Martin]

and a big tv.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, so then may you have to come up with your different getaway weekend.

[Fortune Feimster]

I will say that we went to. We went to games. When we wrapped the last movie I did with Kim Kardashian when we went to her mom's and she had the most luxurious, comfiest big couch ever. And we'd had a. We had a sleepover and had pajamas on. And Nikki Glaser and I were in our pajamas beside each other. We were watching Moulin Rouge and it was my dream. Dream come true. Dream come true. Matching PJs on a big comfy couch watching Moulin Rouge.

[Tig Notaro]

Come on. And did Kim's mom make snacks for you guys?

[Fortune Feimster]

And she just had a humongous like 18 course dinner prepared for us there. It was the fancy version. It was.

[Tig Notaro]

And did she actually cook it or

[Fortune Feimster]

did she have her chef cook it? It was a. A restaurant made it. It was amazing. Yeah, she was. It was. I mean, it was like beyond. Beyond.

[Tig Notaro]

Was it better than big ass Mother's Day brunch?

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean. Yeah, it was pretty special.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

They went all out for us. It was. It was like our little rap of the movie. Yeah, it was pretty cool. And we had matching PJs, so.

[Mae Martin]

Matching pjs. All of us.

[Fortune Feimster]

We would have to get matching handsome PJs.

[Mae Martin]

Oh, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh my God. Why don't we have those?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, why don't we have PJs? Yeah, we gotta get PJ. Holy cow. We need to find out if people would wear them if we got. Got a handsome PJs.

[Tig Notaro]

Of course they would.

[Fortune Feimster]

Of course they would.

[Tig Notaro]

And. And have it where it says handsome over there. Derriere.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, that's like taking it back to the juicy days.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah, but don't you take. Don't you wear. What's your PJs again? Granny. And a nightgown and a bonnet?

[Tig Notaro]

No, that's just for my. My last special.

[Fortune Feimster]

For your stand up story.

[Tig Notaro]

I just wear my regular old run of the mill underpants.

[Fortune Feimster]

Ponties.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Should we hear Nicole's answer?

[Fortune Feimster]

I want to hear about your under Pontius.

[Tig Notaro]

We've talked about this numerous times.

[Fortune Feimster]

Are they granny panties?

[Tig Notaro]

I'm. I'm tits out with my. With no tits. I'm scars out with my. My Under Pontus.

[Fortune Feimster]

Under Ponti.

[Tig Notaro]

All right, let's hear what Nicole has to say.

[Mae Martin]

What if it's Citizen Kane?

[Nicole Wallace]

Okay, so here's my answer. My favorite movie is Almost Famous. I love everything about it. I have to watch it once a year. I get jittery if I'm getting to the one year mark. And I haven't seen it yet. I last watched it right after the 2024 election. I will spare you my rendition of Tiny Dancer, but I, too, want to be on that bus, singing, belting out that song. I love everyone in it. I love that they're all icons. Philip Seymour Hoffman, of course, is no longer with us, but he's the most brilliant, I think. When he asks him, why are you home? He says, I'm always home. I'm not cool. I also love that it's about journalism, in a way. Access journalism, maybe. And he loves them, but at the end of the day, he tells the truth about them, and ultimately, that serves them. I feel like there's some geeky journalism message in there, too, and maybe I'll go watch it after listening to this happen.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I haven't seen a while. Isn't your crush in there in that movie, Tig?

[Tig Notaro]

My crush?

[Fortune Feimster]

Billy. Crude.

[Mae Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Oh, my God. I was like, I mean, look, I love Kate Hudson.

[Advertiser/Announcer]

Kerry Russell.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it's Kerry Russell in there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, your boy crush. Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Oh, my gosh. How'd I forget that?

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know.

[Mae Martin]

I'd like to see Billy Crudup play Frank N. Furter in a Speedo. That would be pretty good.

[Fortune Feimster]

The one that the hugs the wiener.

[Mae Martin]

That's the one.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God.

[Mae Martin]

Also, that's Cameron Crowe and his Almost Famous. And his soundtracks are so good. The Jerry Maguire soundtrack is so good.

[Tig Notaro]

Did I tell you I just did a show with him?

[Mae Martin]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

We were both on a panel, and to me, it was like, when we were backstage beforehand, I was like, oh, my gosh. I cannot wait to talk to this man. Like, I talking to him backstage about rock and roll and music and stuff, and then getting on stage with him, it was just. Yeah, I don't know. That's. That's a. I've seen Almost Famous. I have seen that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good movie.

[Mae Martin]

Is Ginger back in the room?

[Fortune Feimster]

She just opened the door. Did you have a question for her?

[Mae Martin]

Oh, I was wondering what her favorite movie is.

[Fortune Feimster]

But, mom, what's your favorite movie?

[Tig Notaro]

Citizen Kane.

[Fortune Feimster]

She doesn't know. I'm gonna let her think about it. Tig, I do think you should watch Bridesmaids. I would be curious if you found it funny.

[Tig Notaro]

Stephanie wants to have. You know, she. She got me to see Forrest Gump with Max and Finn. We watched that, you know, a couple months ago, maybe month and a half. And then

[Fortune Feimster]

we lost May. What if May comes back and is in the tub?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, One can dream. God. One can dream.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's hope.

[Tig Notaro]

But Bridesmaid. Bridesmaids is one that Stephanie wants to watch with Max and Finn because she feels like it's. Is it R?

[Fortune Feimster]

Probably.

[Tig Notaro]

But she feels like it's one. Yeah. That kind of stuff is fine. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because it's not sexual. That movie's not sexual. It's just like. It's like kind of women doing broy jokes, but also a good. A good view of women friendships, too.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And rivalries.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. She seemed to think that whatever reason it's R might not apply, but I think she's.

[Fortune Feimster]

I would agree.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. So I think that's one of the next up in our family movie night when they can pin me down for one.

[Fortune Feimster]

I really want to. I really want to know what the boys think of it, too. It's so funny. I watched it a couple years ago, and it. It did help hold up.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

But it was one of the la. One of the last, like, really big, big ensemble comedies in a theater. And kind of. I talked to Kristen about it. She said it, like, kind of had a slow opening weekend, and everyone was like, sorry, guys, it's a bust. And then it just. But that was. The thing about movie theaters is that it would catch on, you know, like, you would. People would tell each other, like, you got. And then all of a sudden it, like, exploded.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then was this huge movie. But it's so funny. I just like. Like seeing, like, big female ensembles just be badasses and hilarious and.

[Tig Notaro]

Hell, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then you got Wilson Phillips at the end.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, really?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I guess.

[Tig Notaro]

Hold on for one more day. That song, huh? Okay, well, I feel like everyone I know is pretty much like, oh, my God, Bridesmaids is one of my favorite movies.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's so good.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then if you like Bridesmaids, I do think, think. And I'm not saying this because I have a small part in the movie, but Annie Mumalo and Kristen Wiig, who are. Who wrote Bridesmaids together and are both in Bridesmaids, also wrote Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar and Star in that. And I think that movie is so funny. I'm sure very underrated because it came out in Covid. It was supposed to have a theater release, but it came out in Covid, so it went to Hulu, and so not as many eyes were on it. And anyone who watches it is like, this movie is so funny, but it just didn't get the exposure that Bridesmaids got.

[Tig Notaro]

But, you know, it is Getting a lot of exposure on Hulu Handsome podcast.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's right. We are on Hulu.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And you can catch us a day early. And I'm afraid we lost May for the rest of the episode there.

[Mae Martin]

May's trying to rejoin.

[Fortune Feimster]

I really want May to show up in the tub. Why don't you plug some dates while we're waiting on May?

[Tig Notaro]

movie, but you'll have to tune in to next week's episode to find out.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's not what you would think. It's definitely a surprise to me. Pretty Woman.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Pretty Woman. I haven't seen that either.

[Fortune Feimster]

What? I.

[Tig Notaro]

When I tell people I don't follow pop culture, I'm not exaggerating.

[Fortune Feimster]

Dang.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm not like, secretly doing it and then not telling anyone. Really not doing it.

[Fortune Feimster]

All right, well, some of these I really need you to sounding music you don't need to watch.

[Tig Notaro]

I've seen that. I saw it. That was in the 70s. I was a lot. That was out in the 70s.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I would like you to see Bridesmaid. You're gonna watch that with your family? Yeah, I do think you should watch Pretty Woman. And then what was the other one that we said that I. Oh, I said Dirty Dancing. I do think you should watch that too.

[Fortune Feimster]

And also, my mom's favorite movie is Pretty Woman because she likes. She always wanted to be an escort. Okay, she didn't say that last part, but she does like that movie. I think it's because she thinks Richard Gere's hot.
