Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking which side of your car the gas tank is on when pulling up to the pump. Oh, no. Now I have to pull off a seven point turn in a small parking lot just so I can fuel up.
- [00:20]
A
Yeah, check in first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote. That could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate.

Cheers. Cheers. Welcome to the Handsome Pod. I'm Fortune Feenster.
- [00:49]
A
I'm May Martin.
- [00:51]
C
And I am Tig Notaro.
- [00:54]
B
And it's Tig's birthday.
- [00:56]
C
Oh, my gosh. 55.
- [01:00]
B
55, baby.
- [01:03]
C
Double nickels. Finally. Finally old enough to move into a retirement community.
- [01:11]
B
Is this the age where you get sodas for cheaper?
- [01:16]
A
Is that a thing in America?
- [01:19]
B
In America it is.
- [01:22]
C
What does that mean?
- [01:23]
B
There's a. At fast food restaurants, which I know you love.
- [01:27]
C
You know me, girl.
- [01:29]
B
They. There's a senior drink.
- [01:32]
A
No way.
- [01:32]
B
So you can order a senior drink and it's cheaper. And I think the age might be 55, but I'm not sure.
- [01:41]
A
Tig, you have to do that.
- [01:43]
B
My mom orders them everywhere she goes. And I'm like a senior. Mellow yellow.
- [01:51]
C
That's so funny, because I've. Ever since I was like a young adult, I would say probably late teens, early 20s, probably even beyond that. I would. Anywhere I would go. Like, if I would go to be parking my car in a parking lot and paid parking lot, I'd always ask, you know, oh, and do you offer a senior discount? Or if I. If I. Or if I was like, you know, buying clothes at the mall or something, I'd be like, oh, and do you offer a senior discount? And they'd be like, some people would be like, well, you're not a senior. Or who is this for?
- [02:29]
B
Or.
- [02:30]
C
And then most people would be like, I got you. That's funny. And then they give me the senior discount. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. So I can't believe it now has caught up with me that I can actually ask for a senior soda.
- [02:48]
B
I'm gonna. I'm gonna Google to see if there is an age for you. Talk yourself.
- [02:53]
C
Thomas's job to Google. He must Google our senior sodas.
- [02:58]
B
Thomas, when did the senior sodas start?
- [03:03]
A
Now. You should start asking for the kid discount. Be like.
- [03:06]
C
Yeah, yeah.
- [03:08]
A
I'm not seeing something specific. Oh, actually.
- [03:10]
B
Oh, Wendy's, I think Senior soda.
- [03:15]
A
Oh, some, some people are saying 60, some people are saying 55 plus. And you get a free senior beverage, which is a 15 ounce value cup of soda or a small coffee. Free beverage.
- [03:29]
B
Whoa.
- [03:30]
A
It's not even a discount.
- [03:31]
C
I know. I'm really going to be able to, you know, live some cash away all the money I'm saving on my senior soda.
- [03:39]
B
Suddenly you start going to fast food restaurants for the first time in your life.
- [03:45]
C
No, I did go until I was about 19.
- [03:48]
B
Oh really? And then that was it. You're like, no masks.
- [03:51]
C
Well, you know, it's funny, I remember I was such a. And still am. This is no secret, big Indigo Girls fan.
- [03:58]
A
Uh huh.
- [03:59]
C
And I remember them saying one of them or both of them saying to, you know, boycott fast food. And I was like, will do. Never going again.
- [04:12]
B
That was.
- [04:14]
C
Yeah, yeah. And I just stuck with that. And then becoming vegan nearly 10 years
- [04:18]
B
ago, obviously that limits your options.
- [04:21]
C
Actually, I actually have gone on the road. Some of those places have had vegan burgers and I've stopped and gotten that. Yeah, yeah. I stopped for a vegan burger once in the drive through of like. And Maybe it was McDonald's or something where there was no food around. I was like, okay, I'm gonna do this. Yeah, it was good. And then like places like Chipotle, that's fast food, I go there.
- [04:46]
A
We can't eat at Chipotle anymore.
- [04:48]
C
Yeah. No. What happened?
- [04:49]
A
Yeah, they're bad news.
- [04:51]
B
Really? Yeah. I don't know what happened.
- [04:54]
A
I think they're just funding all the, all the bad things. But it's a shame. I love Chipotle. But.
- [04:59]
C
But they were like when I was on the road.
- [05:02]
A
Yeah.
- [05:03]
C
Looking for some grub. But now I have Happy Cow, which is the app that tells you where the nearest vegan food is to you.
- [05:10]
B
Oh, Happy Cow.
- [05:11]
C
Yeah, I love that app.
- [05:13]
A
I'm really struggling to eat normal food on the road. I'm here on my tour bus now and I, I'm like eating insane times, insane things. I'm. I feel insane.
- [05:24]
C
Well, let's first of all give us a peaksie of your bus.
- [05:29]
B
You're on a bus to us around.
- [05:31]
A
Well, okay, there's somebody napping in the bunk, so I can't show you.
- [05:35]
C
What do you mean somebody?
- [05:37]
A
Well, you know, you.
- [05:39]
B
Some random. Do you have your own bedroom on this bus?
- [05:42]
A
I do have my own bedroom, which makes me feel like such an. But you. I Felt like I was gonna sleep really well because I had a. I'm not in a bunk. I'm in a bedroom. But my head is, like, right on top of the engine of the bus.
- [05:54]
B
So it's like.
- [05:56]
A
Yeah, okay.
- [05:57]
C
Good sound effect, by the way.
- [06:00]
B
Look at this fancy, but alto boots.
- [06:02]
C
Oh. Go to YouTube. Go directly to YouTube's favorite thing to say.
- [06:07]
A
This is like, the expanded version. Like it. It down when we drive. So we got two TVs opposite each other there.
- [06:15]
C
Well, hold on, Fortune. It's not my favorite thing to say. It's that there are things like May flexing and. Yeah. That May is flexing in their tour bus. Like, why would you just. You want just audio of that? Yeah.
- [06:31]
B
Okay. You need the visual.
- [06:33]
C
Okay. Sorry to bother everyone. Don't go to YouTube and watch May flex on the tour bus.
- [06:41]
B
I wasn't teasing you. I was celebrating you.
- [06:44]
C
And I wasn't being serious with you either. So we can drop the attitudes. What are you snacking on? Fortune?
- [06:54]
B
What? I might have brought beignets from set last night. So they're old beignets, but I don't care.
- [07:05]
C
Wait, are. Are you in New Orleans?
- [07:07]
B
No, I'm. We were filming nights this week, so.
- [07:10]
C
And they just have beignets on set.
- [07:12]
B
We ordered a food truck for the crew.
- [07:14]
C
Oh, oh, oh.
- [07:15]
B
So we ordered beignets and coffee last night because we filmed till almost 5, 4:30 in the morning, and you're no fools.
- [07:22]
C
How delicious are beignets?
- [07:24]
B
I had one.
- [07:25]
A
Two days. Two days ago I was in New Orleans, and.
- [07:27]
C
Oh, is that your first beignet?
- [07:28]
A
Yeah, my first beignet. And. And I. It's so crazy because you go to sleep on the bus and then you wake up and you're in, like, a completely different place, different temperature, everything different. And in New Orleans, we woke up, like, right by Bourbon street, like, just in the heart of everything. Went out, had a beignet. I went. I had. I went. Saw jazz. I went to the voodoo museum.
- [07:49]
C
Where'd you get your beignet?
- [07:50]
A
I want to say it was called the Musical Legends park, but it was just a little courtyard, and then it had a little. Yeah. Why do you do you know New Orleans? I went and I saw the Mississippi River. I couldn't believe it.
- [08:03]
B
Well, that's where I'm from.
- [08:08]
C
My great great grandfather was the mayor of New Orleans.
- [08:11]
A
Shut the front.
- [08:12]
C
My mother was born in New Orleans.
- [08:14]
B
Cafe Du Monde is the famous beignet place.
- [08:18]
A
Have we talked about the fact that your great great grandfather was the mayor I don't know.
- [08:22]
C
I don't think we have. That's what he wears.
- [08:25]
A
Crazy.
- [08:27]
B
Did he used to walk around with the grenade drinks?
- [08:32]
C
Me?
- [08:32]
B
Did he. Did he invent those back in the day, yeah.
- [08:35]
C
That's what my family's famous for. I used to spend my summers in New Orleans on St. Charles Avenue. That's where my grandmother. Yeah.
- [08:45]
A
What a party town.
- [08:48]
C
She lived next door to the Pontchartrain Hotel and she had a Ponty train. No, the Pontchartrain, which is the sound like Ponti train. No. And then there's Lake Pontchartrain, which is a gigantic body of water with a huge, you know, bridge that goes over it and. But she had a standing reservation at the Pontchartrain Hotel, and that's where we would go eat every night. Was there.
- [09:15]
A
Standing reservation is like. They just know that if you show up, you get a room.
- [09:20]
C
Yeah.
- [09:21]
A
Wow.
- [09:21]
C
You get a table, easy.
- [09:23]
B
Oh, right. Whatever you want.
- [09:26]
C
Things like, you get a room. Huh? Okay.
- [09:27]
B
It's a cool. It's a cool city.
- [09:29]
C
Yeah.
- [09:30]
A
Oh, it's.
- [09:30]
C
So what about Magazine Street? Did you make it out to Magazine Street?
- [09:34]
A
Didn't go to Magazine street, but I went to, like, I saw some jazz. I mean, I had such a short time, but.
- [09:39]
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the show.
- [09:41]
A
The audience was raucous and wild and fun. And then, yeah, we went up. My. My tour manager had a Gatorade Po Boy. And it was crazy.
- [09:51]
C
And did you have some?
- [09:53]
A
I didn't have a bite, actually. I was scared. I had a shrimp. A shrimp pobo. It was so good.
- [09:58]
B
Yummers.
- [09:59]
A
It's been insane. The. The handsome listeners are out in full effect at these shows. The merch, the gear, the quotes.
- [10:07]
C
So how is it going? You had your fear, your concerns, you weren't going to sell tickets. Clearly, it's off the hinges.
- [10:15]
B
The.
- [10:15]
A
It's off the hinges. The tickets have been good and it's been. It's been great. I just. I feel pretty nuts. I mean, I. From. From sleep, but in every city, I'm doing something, and tomorrow I convince them to let me go to Disney. I mean, I feel like a child just asking my parents if I'm allowed to, like, do fun stuff. But I'm gonna go for, like, three hours to Disney and run around.
- [10:36]
B
Oh, cause you're going to Orlando.
- [10:38]
A
Yeah, I'm in Orlando tomorrow.
- [10:39]
C
Oh, my God. You're driving, right? You're on a plane every night.
- [10:43]
A
So.
- [10:44]
C
And are you preferring. Are you glad you're doing this as opposed to flying?
- [10:49]
A
Oh, it's a terrible mistake.
- [10:51]
B
Oh, really?
- [10:52]
C
I mean, sounds like. Hell, yeah.
- [10:55]
A
I. I'm like, just about settling into it. But the first few days, I was like, how am I going to do this? Like, I. Yeah, I just can't sleep. And it's a lot claustrophobic.
- [11:04]
B
A bus tour is a lot for sure.
- [11:06]
A
It's a lot.
- [11:07]
C
Especially for a little cowboy.
- [11:09]
A
You know, I got a fragile constitution and.
- [11:12]
B
That's right. Constitution.
- [11:14]
A
But the people at the shows have been so nice and just like you guys, I don't remember what we say on this podcast. So, like, last night, this woman comes up in the meet and greet and she goes, she's holding a banana. She goes, I want you to fuck me with this banana. I said, excuse me? And then she was, like, mortified. Then she was like, well, that's on the podcast. That was the big jump. And I was like, I don't know.
- [11:42]
B
I don't remember that. Oh, my God.
- [11:45]
C
I know. People contact me and. Or walk past me and say things. I don't know what anybody is referencing. And not just with the podcast. When I do stand up or, like, anything I say, like in an interview or something, I'm like, what did I. Okay, I know, I know. That's an intense one to say to you. Yeah, yeah.
- [12:09]
B
And.
- [12:09]
A
But the shows are fun because I do, like, 45 minutes of stand up. Then the second half is all, like, improv and music and. Yeah, it's been also just like, there's an added emotional depth to it right now, especially in Florida. And, like, I'm going to Kansas and Minneapolis. Like, people are really happy to be in, like, a safe space and with
- [12:29]
C
each other, I bet.
- [12:31]
A
Yeah. It's super nice. But strange. Strange things are happening, of course. You know, like.
- [12:36]
B
Of course.
- [12:39]
C
Yeah.
- [12:40]
A
Oh, I mean, so many strange things are occurring a day. One I found on the floor of a taxi, I found three sapphire blue dice. Can you imagine how much this spun me out? Like, what does this mean? And then I was.
- [12:56]
B
I was waiting for you to say something crazy.
- [13:01]
C
Almost like me finding out who May made out with in the car. Like, all right. And then what?
- [13:07]
B
Okay, okay.
- [13:08]
A
Last night at the show. Last night was Atlanta. And at the show, they had all these security there and they.
- [13:15]
C
You went New Orleans, Atlanta, and then you're going down to Orlando.
- [13:19]
A
Yeah, I went New Orleans, Atlanta. Now I'm in Jacksonville.
- [13:23]
B
It. It probably was, like, when the theaters
- [13:25]
C
were available for sure, but I'm just
- [13:28]
A
like, is that a weird.
- [13:31]
C
Have you looked at a map?
- [13:32]
A
No.
- [13:37]
C
Okay. Well, yeah, no, everything's fine. That's the perfect route to take.
- [13:41]
A
Anyway, so I was like, you know, they give, like, a security brief thing and everything. And then so during the show, this woman just comes to the front of the stage. And I'm kind of looking around at security. Is anyone gonna. She's just kind of is in the middle of the show, and she's just kind of on the front of the stage, and everyone's like, what's happening? Then she pulls out these $1 bills, and she starts slowly putting $1 bills on the stage like this.
- [14:05]
C
Wait, while you're doing, stand up.
- [14:07]
A
Yeah. So I stopped. I'm like, what's happening? Meanwhile, I'm like, does anyone know this woman? Like, the insecurity. Security is just standing there. Like, then she. And she.
- [14:16]
C
They've seen worse.
- [14:17]
A
Yeah, they've seen worse. She puts the money down and leaves. And then it was very strange.
- [14:23]
C
Yeah, yeah.
- [14:24]
A
Then in the meet and greet, like, she didn't have a meet and greet ticket, but I saw her come bud the line. No one asked her for a wristband, you know, and then she's like, hey, I'm the woman that put the dollar bills on the stage. I'm like, I know. What the hell was that about?
- [14:38]
B
Oh, my God.
- [14:39]
C
And did you find out, or she just got whisked away?
- [14:43]
A
No, nobody whisked her away. I mean, to her credit, she goes, I don't know. I just wanted attention. And I was like, all right. That's pretty honest.
- [14:52]
B
She's honest.
- [14:52]
C
Yeah, that's very honest. I think you need to have a conversation, though, with your security guards. There should be some whisking away if somebody. And not to say this person was dangerous or anything, but she wasn't. But people are. Yeah, if people aren't following, you know, if somebody's coming up to the stage or they're like, cut in line, like, maybe step in a hundred percent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [15:18]
A
But I've been pulling an animal tarot card with the audience at the beginning of every show. Like, to.
- [15:24]
C
Of course, you have to find, like,
- [15:25]
A
the energy of the show.
- [15:29]
B
Oh, my God.
- [15:30]
A
It's really funny when I vibe check, y'.
- [15:33]
C
All.
- [15:34]
A
Such a vibe check. And when I do it, I just see some people's eyes glaze over. Like, what have I got to.
- [15:43]
C
Can you imagine if I did a vibe check with tarot cards in the beginning?
- [15:49]
B
We're gonna pull. We'll collectively pull a tarot card to see what the energy will be tonight in this room.
- [15:55]
A
But then some people are like, oh, thank God. I thought you'd never pull a tarot card. Like, they're excited.
- [16:01]
B
They're waiting for it. Yeah. Yeah, That's. Well, they know that that's what they're gonna get with Little Cowboy.
- [16:06]
C
Yeah. Yeah.
- [16:10]

- [20:51]
A
Yeah.
- [20:51]
C
And your cousin. Yeah, just my one cousin. And. But I don't know. I. Because let's be Honest, this is 20 days ahead of my birthday that we're recording this. I honestly don't even know if I've won or lost an Oscar.
- [21:09]
A
Insane.
- [21:11]
B
Oh, I'm going to the Oscars too.
- [21:13]
C
Oh, you are?
- [21:14]
B
I'm going to. I'm going with Zootopia. Oh, amazing. Yes.
- [21:18]
A
Oh, my God.
- [21:20]
B
I'll be There. I'll be there rooting for you.
- [21:22]
C
I'll be rooting for you.
- [21:24]
B
And us.
- [21:25]
C
And us. Yes, all of us. But I. I would imagine I'll probably just have a. A chill dinner. Is the. The answer to that, which has become my favorite thing, is just to really
- [21:42]
A
lounge over a leisurely meal with some good people.
- [21:45]
C
Yeah, yeah, but like, the scaled down. Scaled down, not like a dinner party.
- [21:51]
A
Oh, okay. Just. Yeah, Basically, Stephanie and the boys.
- [21:56]
C
Maybe. Maybe another couple.
- [21:58]
A
Okay.
- [21:59]
C
But who knows? I mean, sometime also, I will have just had my eye surgery. Oh, yes. I've already had my eye surgery.
- [22:06]
A
Surgery.
- [22:07]
B
I'm doing fine.
- [22:09]
C
How dare you.
- [22:11]
A
Everything worked out great, you guys.
- [22:15]
C
My nose is in the back of my head. Yeah. Do I look any different with my eyes?
- [22:23]
B
You're gorgeous. Oh.
- [22:25]
C
So, yeah, I've either won or lost an Oscar, and I've had eye surgery so far. I'm four days into recovery. That was the thing about my birthdays. I don't know how I'm gonna be recovering or feeling after the surgery, so I. I don't have any very clear plans unless somebody wants to make me feel special and surprise me, you know? Do you.
- [22:49]
A
Do you. When you have, like, a birthday dinner, do you like it if other people make a toast about you, or do you want to make your birthday toast or no toast?
- [22:58]
C
Gosh, I've never thought about that. And I. I like toasts. I like. I like really earnest moments, and. Yeah, I love them.
- [23:11]
B
I think maybe, like, an earnest moment as well.
- [23:14]
C
You do?
- [23:15]
B
Yeah, I'm into it.
- [23:16]
C
Yeah. I. You know, I. Maybe I've talked about it on the podcast, but, like, I don't mind when they're, like, with special moments, weddings and things, if there's funny stuff, like, hints of it. But I really think it's so special when you really commit to the earnest moment and share. Like, I think this about you and I see this about you, and I appreciate this about you. Yeah. I just think it's really nice to hear, especially as a comedian. People expect comedy from me, and I like to show that other side. And also, I'm open to receiving it. Yeah. So what do you. What do you want to toast?
- [24:07]
B
Yeah, I do. I do think that's what our friendship was sort of cemented. Tig was when we had that earnest dinner that. Remember, that was.
- [24:16]
A
Was earnest. And.
- [24:18]
B
Well, Tig and I had. Had been around each other as comedians and friends of friends for a number of years, but everything was, you know, kind of surface. Like you are in LA when You don't really know somebody. And then we had this dinner with some mutual friends, and I was. I think I had just been dumped by someone.
- [24:38]
C
Yes.
- [24:39]
B
Yeah. And I was just like. I had this. Come to Jesus, like, I'm sad and I want to meet somebody, and. And everybody at the table was just like, ernest back with me. And we just had this like. Like real meal and conversation. And after that, I think we were just like, oh, we're. We're. Yeah, I know you. You know.
- [24:58]
C
Yeah. Yeah. And then I bumped into you on that flight, and you had found somebody right after that dinner.
- [25:05]
B
Yeah.
- [25:05]
C
Yeah.
- [25:06]
A
I love that.
- [25:07]
C
The rest is her story.
- [25:08]
B
That was many, many. That was many moons ago.
- [25:11]
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [25:12]
B
Years. And. God, that. Yeah. Because I. I met Jack a few months after that.
- [25:17]
C
But I do. I remember at that dinner being like, no way, man. It's gonna happen.
- [25:22]
B
Yeah.
- [25:23]
C
You gotta believe that's right. But. Yeah. So toast me.
- [25:29]
B
Yeah, Toast May. Go ahead.
- [25:31]
C
Go on.
- [25:32]
B
Oh, boy. Since you wrote it up.
- [25:34]
A
Okay. Okay. Oh, boy. Let me see what I can pull out of my ass. Okay.
- [25:41]
C
I mean, even if you pulled something out of your ass, I'd take that as a birthday. Especially if it was that bottle there. Yeah. But anyway.
- [25:50]
A
Okay. Well, we're gathered here to celebrate a dear, dear friend of ours. You know?
- [25:57]
B
You know.
- [26:00]
C
You know.
- [26:01]
B
You know?
- [26:03]
C
No, I don't.
- [26:05]
A
When I first encountered Tig's work, it. I had that feeling that. That I would get along with this person, you know, I felt. I. I felt a connection even then, which is a rare quality for a performer. To be able to reach through the. The screen and connect with people. Then to have the privilege of getting to know someone who is so endlessly curious about themselves and others in the world, who really values personal growth and. And wants to be a participant in life and relationships and family. Yeah. What a. What a gift. And I'm eternally grateful. And that's all from me.
- [26:50]
C
Oh, that is plenty.
- [26:52]
B
That is.
- [26:53]
C
Thank you so much.
- [26:54]
A
Cheers.
- [26:56]
C
Clank.
- [26:57]
A
Not a last in sight. Not a laugh.
- [27:00]
C
No.
- [27:01]
B
It was so earnest.
- [27:02]
C
And that would be the perfect moment for a sound effect for our Clank on Handsome Fortune. You're next.
- [27:11]
B
I didn't think I was.
- [27:14]
C
No. You're at the dinner party, too.
- [27:16]
B
Okay. God, this is. This is a lot of pressure, you know, being around all of the hilarious people at this table.
- [27:27]
A
Who's there? Who's at the table?
- [27:29]
C
Just the three of us.
- [27:31]
A
Okay.
- [27:32]
B
Was I wrong?
- [27:33]
C
No. Thomas is there, too, and he's hilarious.
- [27:36]
B
Am I like, a butler? My comment.
- [27:38]
A
Can we say Jennifer.
- [27:41]
B
Jennifer Anderson is there.
- [27:42]
C
She's the four of us.
- [27:43]
B
A Greek salad?
- [27:44]
C
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
- [27:46]
B
And do you want. Do you want. Well, Stephanie's there, right? I'm assuming Stephanie's there.
- [27:52]
C
She was able to make it.
- [27:53]
B
Okay, Stephanie's there. Sarah Paulson, someone like that.
- [27:57]
C
I. Listen, now we're going real wide. Okay. Okay. It's. It's just my core, people.
- [28:03]
B
Okay, your core. Your core. Your core horse.
- [28:08]
C
Is that a saying?
- [28:09]
B
No, I just. It rhymes.
- [28:12]
A
Wow.
- [28:13]
C
Yeah. Okay. We have to, like, have a group of people that buy the core horse.
- [28:19]
B
Yeah, you have to buy.
- [28:20]
A
It's a tier of.
- [28:22]
C
Yeah, well, you buy the core whore package. And. And you tell us how many shirts you want anyway. Or hats. Okay.
- [28:29]
B
I did not come here with anything prepared because it's honestly hard to put into words how I feel.
- [28:40]
C
Yeah.
- [28:40]
B
About the person sitting across from me.
- [28:43]
C
Oh, is that where I am?
- [28:45]
B
Yeah. You're probably across from me.
- [28:46]
C
Yeah.
- [28:47]
B
Beside you.
- [28:48]
C
Yeah.
- [28:48]
B
Because it's a small table. We're quarters.
- [28:50]
A
So I'm at the kiddie table next.
- [28:54]
B
And that person that we're here to honor, celebrate is our dear friend Tig Notaro. Someone who has faced things in life that many of us can only imagine. The amount of grit and strength that it took to overcome these challenges in life. As someone who took those challenges and dug in deeper to create a life for herself that she could not have ever imagined, that it could have be this good. Someone who has had perseverance in a way none of us can understand, but who loves and appreciates life as a result. That every single day that Tig celebrates her life, she knows, is a blessing, and we are blessed to share that life with her.
- [30:00]
C
To our friend. Wow.
- [30:03]
B
Cheers. Wow.
- [30:07]
A
Understood. The brief there. The brief was no laughs. Deeply earnest.
- [30:12]
C
Yes. That was great. Yes.
- [30:15]
B
I'll see at the Oscars.
- [30:17]
C
Yes, you will. For that speech. My goodness. I think that needs to be a tradition that we on our birthdays. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I do, too.
- [30:29]
A
I love that.
- [30:30]
B
I have a lot more I could say. But you were, you know, do go on. I wrapped up in pretty Bob. But you were ready to go plank, so.
- [30:39]
C
Well, I was trying to, you know, add some comedy to the drama.
- [30:43]
B
No, you. You were leaning away from the earnest.
- [30:46]
C
I know, right? I know.
- [30:47]
B
But that's all right.
- [30:49]
C
That's okay.
- [30:50]
B
We landed the plane no matter what we did.
- [30:53]
A
My most earnest friend is with me on this tour, Matt, who lives in my back house, and it's such a joy. I'M like, this is why I brought him. Because every morning he's like, you know, buddy, we got to be grateful. This is really, what an amazing experience. Like, to wake up in the city. It's so nice to have someone just
- [31:08]
C
remind you, that's really nice.
- [31:11]
A
Like two Canadian kids who are like,
- [31:13]
B
well, you definitely want that. As opposed to someone who's like, another day, another city. You definitely want someone who's finding the joy in it.
- [31:21]
A
You know, it was nice. I. I saw my grade 10 boyfriend yesterday in Atlanta, who I hadn't seen.
- [31:27]
C
Waka waka waka.
- [31:29]
A
I haven't seen him since. No, it was Devin Bambrick, and I haven't seen him since I was 15 years old and I met up with him. He's got a baby and a wife in Atlanta. And the thing that made me feel so nice was he goes, the first thing I remember about you is that the first thing you said to me when you were 14 and showed up at the school is that you were going to be a comedian. I'm like, what an annoying kid. But also. That's so nice. Like that.
- [31:55]
C
Yeah.
- [31:56]
B
Waka waka.
- [31:59]
C
Now let me ask you something. So your friend is on tour with you just to be a positive, supportive pal?
- [32:05]
A
No, no. He's doing improv with me. So I do stand.
- [32:09]
C
Okay.
- [32:10]
A
Then I do a little.
- [32:10]
C
And it's just the two of you doing it?
- [32:13]
A
Yeah. Based on audience questions, but the audience is. They're horn dogs. They just want to see me kiss anyone. So they're trying to get me and Matt to kiss every night. We've kissed every night.
- [32:23]
B
Your particular fans are very horny for you.
- [32:28]
C
Let me ask you something. When you're kissing your friend in their tongue.
- [32:32]
B
No. It's like, oh, you can't kiss your friend.
- [32:35]
C
I don't know. It's in the fortune. Marie? No, ma'. Am.
- [32:44]
B
Does anyone kiss like that?
- [32:47]
A
I bet. I bet they do.
- [32:50]
C
There's got to be one person that does.
- [32:52]
A
And then they make the noise, too,
- [32:55]
B
with them being so horny. Are you getting hit on?
- [32:58]
A
Yeah, it's like a little. You hate horny.
- [33:02]
B
Oh, you hate the word horny?
- [33:04]
C
Yeah.
- [33:05]
A
We never knew this till now.
- [33:07]
B
We said it a lot.
- [33:09]
C
I finally thought it was time that, you know.
- [33:12]
A
Wow.
- [33:14]
B
Well, we'll never stop using it.
- [33:16]
C
I know you won't. I know you won't.
- [33:25]
B
Have you been getting hit on? Yeah.
- [33:27]
A
I mean, people are like. There's like a. People are. Are intense. I'll say. Like, it's. I'm flattered and People are super nice, but it is a, it is sometimes like a bit of a double standard gender wise, where I'm like, if you were a guy saying this to me, I would be right a so alarmed, you know?
- [33:47]
C
And would you prefer that it not be a part of your interactions with people at all or are you like, it's wild, but it's fine.
- [33:57]
A
I mean, I like that there's like an excitement and that people. But sometimes it's so like, explicit that I'm like, I. And. And I'm such a people pleaser that I, I sometimes have like, I had one regret that someone came up at the meet and greet with and we chatted and blah, blah, blah. And then they said, can you sign this? And I signed it kind of as I was taking in what it was. And it was, it looks like a legal document that said this entitles the person to sleep with May Martin. Like Mae Martin's the hall pass. Like, anyone holding this can can fuck me, basically. And I was, afterwards, I was like, that is weird. I was like, why did I sign that like that.
- [34:35]
C
Well, I'm surprised my document made it to you.
- [34:39]
B
A legal one too.
- [34:41]
C
Yes, that.
- [34:41]
B
Wow, that's really getting it notarized.
- [34:44]
C
You bet I am.
- [34:45]
B
That is. That is wild.
- [34:48]
A
But then you don't want to like. I never want to be like, oh, that's a bit much. Because they've driven hours to come to the show and they're so sweet to
- [34:56]
B
get this legal document signed.
- [34:57]
A
They're excited.
- [34:58]
C
That doesn't give. Just because they drove a long way doesn't mean
- [35:05]
B
to sleep with me. I've never been a piece of meat, so I don't know what this feels like.
- [35:11]
C
Oh, please. You are a yes. Yeah. You're a prime cut. I'm a pretty little lady. No, no, no, you're a. I'm not.
- [35:24]
B
I'm not. Any sex documents. Well, May, it sounds like you're.
- [35:32]
C
Meanwhile, I'm a senior citizen.
- [35:38]
B
Things that Wendy's a free drink. I'm just being demure. And you're just signing sex documents
- [35:46]
C
contractually bound to have sex with all these strangers. What a podcast.
- [35:52]
B
Well, should we get to our question?
- [35:55]
C
Yes, indeed.
- [35:56]
A
Yes.
- [35:57]
B
Today's question asker is an actor, comedian and podcast host who wrote and starred in the HBO show Crashing. His podcast, you Made It Weird has been running for 15 years and his stand up specials include Dirty Clean, I Am not for Everyone, and his new special, silly, Silly Fun Boy is out today and you can watch it on YouTube. Pete Holmes is Asking today's question.
- [36:25]
C
Of course. His special is Silly, Silly Fun Boy.
- [36:29]
B
We were all supposed to do his podcast together. It was. It was the first time we were booked as a trio on Body as I think forgot about it or
- [36:41]
C
make me. Yeah, I think I was at the doctor. That's also. When you get to this age, it's a full time job to go to the doctor, by the way.
- [36:48]
B
And then May and the first, like 20 minutes of the Potter us going, I wonder if Tig's coming. So we finally, like, realized you were not.
- [36:57]
C
Yeah, my apologies.
- [36:58]
B
Was. All right, we're all together now.
- [37:01]
C
Forever. Until April, at least. All right, let's hear what he's got to say.
- [37:07]
D
Hi, handsome people. It's Pete Holmes. Thanks for including me. I love your pod.
- [37:13]
B
Valerie loves your pod.
- [37:14]
D
Look, she's wearing the lil cowboy.
- [37:16]
C
Hey, Lil cowboy. Oh, yeah, Pete did tell me that.
- [37:20]
A
I'm kidding.
- [37:21]
D
We're fans. And my question is, could you share something that happened that was just completely inexplicable? Like maybe a psychic, maybe a ufo, maybe a ghost? Yes. This is something I ask on my own podcast, but it's my favorite question, and I'd really love to hear the answer.
- [37:45]
A
I love it. I mean, I love a lot of what Pete's into. Like, I'm similar. Like, I think when we did his podcast, did we test where you have to close your eyes and then guess if someone's staring at you?
- [37:56]
B
Huh?
- [37:56]
C
Yeah. You two seem like perfect matches. Yes.
- [38:00]
A
Anytime we bump into each other out and about within 20 seconds, it's like, is there life after death Conversation circus.
- [38:08]
B
Silly, silly fun boys. Yes.
- [38:10]
C
Yes. Yeah.
- [38:12]
A
Some of these things we've talked about on. On the pod, I. I'm always like, what's interesting to me about inexplicable things is, like, in the future, are we going to find out that it's scientifically explicable? You know, like the things that they would have thought were miracles 100 years ago that now science is like, oh, no, that's the thing, you know, like that we have a bio electromagnetic field. Like, we have an aura that. I don't know what I'm talking about.
- [38:45]
C
That feels like a conversation for you and Pete.
- [38:48]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [38:53]
B
Oh, man. I'm trying to think. If one stands out, you have. Does anyone have one off the top of their dome?
- [38:59]
A
Yeah. Well, the. The psychic who's.
- [39:01]
C
Careful May. Oh, my God. Go to YouTube. Go to YouTube. Maze earbud flew out.
- [39:07]
A
Flew out. That was inexplicable.
- [39:09]
C
That was Inexplicable.
- [39:10]
A
The psychic whose face melted recently that I talked about and I talked about in the pod. And it was a psychic eye there. Yeah, yeah. Psychic I saw in Toronto. And her face shifted into a different face.
- [39:26]
C
Oh. Oh, right. Yeah.
- [39:27]
B
She told me, like, this can happen. And then it did.
- [39:30]
A
Yes. And then the one that I've also maybe talked about is when I manifested my friend David in Nepal, like, wrote his name down. He just came into my mind. So clearly I was up in the Himalayas and there was a hut where you could, like, send positive wishes to friends or whatever. And all these travelers had stuck it on the wall. And I so clearly in my head, thought, David Martin. I wrote it down once, then I wrote it again on the back, stuck it down. Not two days later, I'm walking down the street in Kathmandu, Nepal. There he is walking towards me. This is my. My. You know, he'd been my coke dealer in high school. I hadn't seen him in years.
- [40:10]
C
So a dear friend.
- [40:12]
A
No, he was a dear friend. And then. And then we, like.
- [40:15]
C
Can we call him Catman dude?
- [40:17]
B
Catman dude no longer selling coke, right?
- [40:20]
A
No, he was sober. He was with his mom. He was like. And we spent the night that night just talking and talking. But, yeah, that felt really like I'd magnetized him where he magnetized me or. Yeah, that was very weird. Yeah. What about you?
- [40:34]
B
I've talked about it on the pod before, but my mom always had the most experience, inexplicable thing happen on the way for me being born where she. I'll tell it very briefly because I
- [40:50]
C
tell this all the time, except not on this show.
- [40:53]
A
Yeah, I know. I've heard this.
- [40:54]
B
You really. I don't know. I don't know. Well, okay, then I'll tell. I'll tell it. And if I. This is. It's a repeat that my co hosts don't remember it, so it doesn't matter. My mom wanted a girl so bad. She had two boys. But this was like, back when you didn't know the sex your baby until your baby was born. And it was when you stayed in the hospital for a lot longer, pre and post birth. And when my mom was in the hospital about to have me, all the nurses were trying to guess what my sex was based on, you know, their experience. And they said based on my heartbeat, I was either going to be a boy or a lazy girl.
- [41:38]
C
Maybe you have mentioned this lazy girl.
- [41:42]
B
Chill. And. But my mom was like. But I knew in my heart of heart she loves to say this. I love it when my mom tells this story. But she's like, I knew in my heart of hearts you were a girl. And even though everybody was like, this is, you're having another boy. You're having another boy. And she said, as they willed her out to have me, this, this woman appeared out of nowhere. I, I, I say Della Reese jokingly, but she describes this person in a way that's very similar to Della Reese and Touch My Angel. But this nurse appears out of nowhere. She's never seen her, and she's been there for a few days. And she goes, I will see you and your 10 pound baby after you give our baby girl you. I'll see you and your ten pound baby girl after you give birth. And she said, I can't explain it. This nurse looked in my eyes in a way that was like, she's like, I knew it. I knew she was right and that it felt very, like, otherworldly. And she gave birth to me. I was a girl. I was ten pounds or ten and a half pounds, whatever it was. And, and she was in the hot. I had a few things that required me to stay in the hospital for like another like six days or five.
- [42:58]
C
Laziness.
- [43:00]
B
Laziness.
- [43:00]
C
Yeah.
- [43:01]
B
And she never saw the nurse again. Whoa. And she asked around about this person and they're like, she is here.
- [43:10]
A
Yeah. She died 20 years ago.
- [43:12]
C
Are they like, oh, well, Della Reese works here, but she left for vacation.
- [43:17]
B
I like to say I was ushered into the world by an angel. Yeah.
- [43:22]
A
I'll see you in your 10 pound baby girl is such a big swing. If you're just guessing, like, that is such a, like, it feels like she knew. That woman knew.
- [43:32]
B
And when my mom tells it, she takes pauses. She's very dramatic. It's a lot more. You feel when my mom tells you this story, you're like, yes, Origin was ushered in by an angel. When I tell her it's not, it doesn't have the same effect. My mom gets very dramatic into telling this story.
- [43:48]
C
Classic Ginger. Just dramatic.
- [43:51]
B
Dramatic. Taking a lot of creative liberties. But yeah, she was like, she is convinced that this was an angel of some sort.
- [44:00]
A
So am I.
- [44:01]
C
That's great.
- [44:03]
B
So convinced. Yeah. So I, that didn't happen. It technically happened about me. Not to me, but my mom's had. You were there, you were present kind of thing. I was there. It was about me. Del Reis brought me into the world. But I mean, you know, as far as ghosts and stuff, she'll, she can
- [44:20]
C
take you right out of it, too.
- [44:22]
A
Yeah. If you see her, you know you're in trouble.
- [44:26]
B
I'm not had. Like, I think ghost wise, I always say, like, some people are susceptible to it and some are. I'm not really susceptible to it. The only time I experienced anything that was, like, tangible was in the rental house. I had my first season of fubar in Toronto. I saw a shadow walk into a room as I was coming up the stairs that I thought it was Jack's. And I went into the room and. And she wasn't in it. And I was like, jackson, she was upstairs. And I was like, were you. Were you just downstairs? She's like, no. And I was like, oh, that's so weird, because it was like the. The. The height of a person walking into.
- [45:08]
A
Did you move? Did you move like Airbnb? Yeah.
- [45:12]
B
No, no. But. But that. But later that night, we were on the couch and I felt a draft go over my arms to the point I looked up to see where the air conditioner register was, and there was none near me. Wow. And then I never experienced anything again the rest of my four months there. Why? Inexplicable, you guys.
- [45:37]
C
God.
- [45:38]
B
It was Della Reese checking on me to see if I was lazy.
- [45:43]
A
I mean, my. My grand.
- [45:44]
C
My.
- [45:45]
A
My grandma. I've. I've said this before, too, but we don't remember anything.
- [45:49]
C
Let's hear it again. Let's hear it again.
- [45:51]
A
Just that my grandma went to a psychic and she wanted to contact her boyfriend who passed away, I think. And she. And it was a psychic who didn't charge money. It was like the Chelsea Psychic Society. And the psychic said, your father's come through. And she said, well, I didn't really have a relationship with my father. I. He died when I was really little. I don't. I kind of am here to talk to someone else. And the psychic said, well, sorry, your dad is here and he wants to say he's sorry he yelled at you for brushing the fabric on his top hat the wrong way. And that. She's like, that's my only memory of my father.
- [46:25]
B
Oh, wow.
- [46:26]
A
Like, what?
- [46:27]
B
Wow, that's crazy. I love stuff like that.
- [46:30]
A
Me, too.
- [46:31]
B
This isn't inexplicable, but what is? Because I think it's just based on a soul connection. But I. Like, when my grandmother passed, I felt it happen. And I looked at my watch so I knew exactly when it happened. And I called her house, and my dad picked up the phone and was like, can we call you back? And he called me back a couple months later, he's like, I didn't know what to say to you. Your grandmother, like, literally just passed and, wow. But I've never had that before.
- [47:01]
A
I don't.
- [47:01]
B
I think. Well, obviously that's not something you experienced with a bunch of people, but. Yeah, I've never felt anything like that ever. Where I just. Like, I. I was sitting in my bed at college and I was like, my grandmother just died.
- [47:14]
A
We're gonna find out one day. Like, that all of this metaphysical stuff is real. Like, that you are connected to your loved ones and can sort of like quantum entanglement, right? Like if. If. Like a particle.
- [47:27]
C
Am I right, guys? Quantum entanglement. Hey, ladies.
- [47:31]
A
That's a real thing that you can. You know, a particle can remotely affect another particle.
- [47:36]
B
That.
- [47:37]
A
And. And, like, they measured the brain waves of a mother and her daughter, and they were in separate rooms meditating. And in the room with the daughter, they were flashing the lights. And so the daughter's brain waves were spiking, and the mother's brainwaves were doing the same spikes, even though they. So, like, it's.
- [47:54]
C
You know.
- [47:54]
B
You know.
- [47:55]
C
Yeah.
- [47:57]
B
What about you, Tiglett?
- [47:58]
C
Don't have anything.
- [48:00]
B
That's not true.
- [48:02]
A
I feel like with Andrea, there's been things around. Around that. That have felt very serendipitous and straight. Like that busker playing the song.
- [48:12]
C
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- [48:13]
A
I mean, so many things like that. Yeah.
- [48:15]
C
Yes.
- [48:17]
A
But I guess that's explicable. You're like, well, that's Andrew.
- [48:20]
C
Well, yeah, I can share that. But what I was going to talk about, which I probably already said, and, you know, going to the hospital to get Max and Finn when I went to fill up the car. I think I've shared.
- [48:37]
A
No, the car.
- [48:38]
C
The car that was parked in front of me, filling up their tank. I put the gas. Whatever the handle in the gas tank, and then went and sat in the. In the van waiting for it to fill up because it was fully on empty. And. And the car that was parked right in front of me, also filling their car up, had a sticker across. Across the back window that said, Finn, Max.
- [49:12]
B
Oh, wow. That is trivial.
- [49:14]
C
Yeah. I thought I was hallucinating, and I was like, what? And this was like the day they were born. And so I look it up, and it's a production company, finmax Productions.
- [49:25]
B
That's crazy.
- [49:26]
C
Oh, that's what it said. Finmax Productions. And I was sitting there going, thomas, will you look that up and see what shows they do? But it was just outrageous. I've never seen it since. I never. Nothing. Like, never heard of this production company. I feel like they've done really big things.
- [49:46]
A
And you. You already had their names, like, so.
- [49:49]
C
Yeah, Yeah, I already have the names.
- [49:51]
A
Mind blowing. That's crazy.
- [49:53]
C
Did anything come up with Fin Max Productions?
- [49:57]
A
Possibly Shark Tank?
- [49:59]
C
Yes. Yeah.
- [50:00]
A
Yeah. That's mega. Yeah, that's huge.
- [50:03]
C
But I was truly like, my eyeballs like a cartoon or like. So that was a really bizarre moment. I guess I thought I shared that with you, but I didn't. But that's cool. That was inexplicable.
- [50:17]
A
You know, my bus driver is called Jeff, and he has an identical twin called Jay and he. Who's also a bus driver. And I keep imagining, what if they swap out or something? And I'm like, should I. Like, maybe I should plant things with Jeff that only Jeff would know. And then I can test and make sure it's still Jeff.
- [50:38]
C
That's a smart thing to do.
- [50:39]
B
Would it matter who's driving? Of course, you might like his brother just as much as.
- [50:46]
A
Well, that's true. He said that he's going to wake me up. Up super early, like in the middle of the night tomorrow to see the sunrise. Going into Orlando, apparently.
- [50:54]
B
No, thank you. That's something I'm gonna let you experience.
- [51:03]
A
Yeah, you're right. I might have to.
- [51:05]
B
If you wake up naturally and you get to see it.
- [51:07]
C
Great.
- [51:08]
A
Yeah.
- [51:09]
C
So, Fortune, you're not gonna do well when we have our wellness getaway weekend. No, because you're gonna have to. To get up early, watch the sunrise
- [51:18]
B
and drink green juice.
- [51:19]
C
Meditate.
- [51:20]
A
Take. You know me. I'm going to be weeping. I'm going to be journaling.
- [51:25]
C
I'll be.
- [51:26]
B
I will be earnest during this because I know it means a lot to the two of you. So I will participate. I will not be a. I. I'm
- [51:36]
C
not a
- [51:39]
B
buzz kill. Yes, I. I can adapt to the environment I'm in.
- [51:44]
C
Okay. Good to know.
- [51:45]
B
But you know, it will be.
- [51:48]
C
Yeah, you're still gonna find a way to ruin it. I can read between the lines.
- [51:53]
B
I'm good at digging in.
- [51:55]
C
All right.
- [51:55]
B
Yeah.
- [51:56]
C
I truly cannot wait. And I know that we probably won't find a time to do it, but it.
- [52:03]
A
I'm throwing. I'm gonna start throwing some dates out for June.
- [52:07]
C
No, you won't.
- [52:10]
A
Don't test me, because I will. And then you're gonna be like, oh. Oh, God, I have to do this now.
- [52:15]
B
Oh, my God.
- [52:16]
C
Should we see what Pete has to say?
- [52:18]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [52:19]
D
Okay. My answer is I talked to a psychic on the phone. Val knows this story. And I wanted to know about this relationship that I was in. I was kind of struggling in the relationship. Didn't have anything. This is important. Didn't have anything about that relationship on Facebook or Instagram or anything. It was over the phone. I also think it's important to note I wasn't like really a public person at that time. And we spoke and immediately this person intuited. She's like, you want to talk about your relationship? And I was like, yes. And then my nickname for this girlfriend was Boog. As in Booger. You have something?
- [53:02]
C
Can I talk to you for a second? We've never had this happen.
- [53:10]
D
We have. Whenever we mention an ex, we go, can I talk to you for a second? So this girl, I called her Boog and she called me Boog, short for Booger. So she said, you want to talk about relationships? And I said, yes. And the first thing she said was, who's Boog? That is just.
- [53:30]
B
That's weird.
- [53:31]
D
Paradigm shifting.
- [53:34]
C
I kind of think he's weird.
- [53:35]
D
Everybody that I've mentioned this to is like, oh, you probably put it on social media. I'm not like that.
- [53:39]
C
I'm.
- [53:39]
D
I've never been like that. I do not post. I don't, I don't talk about nicknames, pet names. It was completely mind blowing.
- [53:50]
C
Wow.
- [53:51]
B
She was probably also like. And why do you have a nickname of Booger for your girlfriend?
- [53:56]
A
She's like, this seems like it's on the rock.
- [53:59]
C
Yeah.
- [53:59]
B
It's not gonna lie.
- [54:00]
C
Maybe she hightailed it out of town looking for someone to, to rename her something.
- [54:05]
B
You cannot have your nickname be Boog. Yeah, I would be like timeout.
- [54:10]
C
Yeah. I'm looking for something a little less disgusting.
- [54:15]
A
That's cool.
- [54:16]
B
I wonder.
- [54:16]
C
I would have a follow up for
- [54:18]
B
Pete if he has remained calling that psychic because that seems pretty proficient.
- [54:27]
A
You find a good one, I think. Yeah. You should stick with it.
- [54:31]
B
Yeah.
- [54:31]
C
Don't let it go.
- [54:33]
A
Never let it go.
- [54:34]
C
Don't let that psychic go, friend. Don't. Don't do it. Don't.
- [54:38]
B
I do enjoy a check in with a psychic every now and then. I love it when someone tells me, ah, you gotta talk to this person. Yeah. Their reading was like, so spot on. I'm like. Then I'm like, oh, I wanna, I wanna talk to that person.
- [54:52]
C
Yeah.
- [54:53]
A
Like the. There's a guy in la, the coffee grounds guy. He reads coffee grinds like a Turkish coffee. And it's a really specific medium. And. And a lot. A lot of people have recommended him to me. I want to go see him. He's parv. Saw him, and he was. Yeah. Very accurate.
- [55:12]
C
I would like to start a business where I do it and just try my best.
- [55:16]
A
Oh, my God.
- [55:17]
B
That would be great.
- [55:19]
C
Yeah. Tig reads broccoli stems.
- [55:23]
B
There you go.
- [55:23]
C
So you bring a broccoli stem in, and then she will just tell you what is up.
- [55:29]
B
That's right.
- [55:29]
C
I've also wanted to. Actually, speaking of New Orleans, I've always wanted to put up an easel and just do caricatures.
- [55:38]
A
I got one done. Okay, well, where is it?
- [55:41]
C
Okay, well, it's not unusual. You were in New Orleans, but I've wanted to start my own caricature business. This. Or even just portraits. And then just try my best.
- [55:54]
B
I love it.
- [55:54]
C
And then people are disappointed. I'm like, I didn't say I was good. I just. I'm just. Look at those biceps.
- [56:03]
A
Thank you. I'm trying.
- [56:04]
C
Okay. Don't go to YouTube. Don't go to YouTube.
- [56:08]
B
Oh, man.
- [56:10]
A
I'm trying to stay fit on the bus.
- [56:12]
C
It's working.
- [56:13]
B
It sure is.
- [56:16]
C
That's good.
- [56:17]
A
You like that?
- [56:18]
C
Yeah. I really like the mustache, too.
- [56:21]
A
Is there a mustache caricature?
- [56:24]
B
Caricatures of me are so wildly offensive.
- [56:29]
C
They are.
- [56:31]
B
The war. Anybody who. Okay. Anyone who's ever been like, I drew you. I'm like, no, thank you.
- [56:38]
A
Yeah, I don't need.
- [56:39]
B
I don't wanna. Yeah, it's ne. It is. I already have.
- [56:43]
C
Crazy. I know.
- [56:44]
B
I have a big, chubby cheek face, but they, like, take this and they run with it.
- [56:49]
C
What do they do with your hair, is my question.
- [56:52]
B
It's usually wildly insane, too.
- [56:55]
C
Like a bird's nest.
- [56:56]
B
There has not been one drawing of me or caricature of anything that has been flattering. It is. Every time I see it, I'm like,
- [57:05]
C
okay, why don't you pay me $20? How much was your caricature?
- [57:10]
A
Well, the crazy thing was, I go, how much? And he goes, I don't charge. And I said, well, but how much is it?
- [57:16]
B
I don't charge.
- [57:17]
A
He goes, I don't charge, but if you want to give me a gift. So then it was really confusing, but I gave him 20 bucks.
- [57:21]
B
There you go.
- [57:22]
C
Okay, well, look at that. Right on the. Right on the nose. So pay me 20 bucks. We can do this at Wellness Weekend.
- [57:28]
B
You're gonna draw it.
- [57:29]
C
You know who would be good at Wellness Weekend? Pete Holmes.
- [57:33]
A
Yes.
- [57:34]
C
Pete Holmes would be down for Wellness Weekend.
- [57:36]
B
Yeah, but I think you need.
- [57:37]
C
Let's kick, let's kick Fortune out. Wait, no, no, no. Gonna. Bad attitude.
- [57:44]
B
No, I'm not getting replaced by a boy.
- [57:48]
C
Yeah.
- [57:51]
B
Too D fart on y' all the whole time.
- [57:53]
C
Well, yeah, it is a silly, silly, fun boy. And, but yeah, I, I, I want to do portraits and caricatures on Wellness Week.
- [58:01]
B
I know mine's not gonna be great. I'm telling you, I've never been given.
- [58:04]
C
Oh, I'm gonna draw you like the little angel that you are.
- [58:08]
B
I've never. No one's ever drawn me in a way where I've been like, like, that is so flattering. Oh, my God. It is. Like, let's take the things about you we notice and times it by 10.
- [58:17]
C
I look like a man that has three minutes left before.
- [58:24]
B
Although I did, I did really enjoy the. Remember early on in the pod, someone made some of our episodes into cartoons. I enjoyed that.
- [58:33]
A
I just really like the when someone put our faces on the cast of Friends or on Jennifer. Oh, yeah, that was Lisa Kudrow. And yeah.
- [58:42]
B
Yeah.

Well, that was a good time.
