[May Martin]

This is a Headgum podcast.

[Tig Notaro]

Pretty little episode.

[Fortune Feimster]

It takes me by surprise every time.

[May Martin]

Every time.

[Fortune Feimster]

Every single time.

[May Martin]

It's a delight. Every time.

[Fortune Feimster]

It is. At first it's not a delight. It's just flat out shocking that it's. Pretty little episode.

[May Martin]

I know. I don't even. I don't remember ever recording that even.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't either. I don't believe it's us, honestly, either. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Tig, do you always feel a little bit like we're having like a clandestine meeting?

[Fortune Feimster]

Every single time?

[May Martin]

Every. Yeah. I don't. I just feel like we're cheating every time.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah. I think people saw it happening, though. I think coming between the two of you. The two of us.

[May Martin]

The eagle eyed. The eagle eyed were noticing little glances.

[Fortune Feimster]

Now, on a real note, who would be the ones out of the three of us that would hook up? Like, really? Who? Who?

[May Martin]

That's a really good question. I think. I think I could flirt with fortune till the cows come home and she wouldn't know that I was flirting with her. Like, it wouldn't even occur to her. Whereas I feel like if I went hard on you there, I might. There might be some cracks I could get in there. Like, you might at least know what I was doing. Not cracks in your relation. But you'd be like, okay, okay. And then the ball would be in your court.

[Fortune Feimster]

So you feel like you could break me down a bit.

[May Martin]

I think at least I'd get in your head. You'd be falling asleep at night thinking, that was weird today.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Interesting. What was that about?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And how would you flirt with me to. You know, because we're co workers and we don't really hang out too much because we're in different countries. So how are you going to make this known to me?

[May Martin]

Okay, it's going to start with just, we're Zoom coworkers. Okay. This is how it's going to start.

[Fortune Feimster]

And Thomas is always there.

[May Martin]

He's always the bearing witness.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. And he's got headphones on, listening and he's got a camera watching. So how are you Going to get in here with me.

[May Martin]

Okay. First, we're going to log on to do a regular episode. So Fortune's here, Thomas is here, you're here. And weirdly, I just. I only say hi to you. I go, hi, Tig. Like, that's how it starts.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you completely ignore Fortune.

[May Martin]

Well, later, you know, I'm chatting about you. Just a little hi tag.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then that'll get in my head. I'll be like, wow, I wonder why May didn't say hi to Fortune.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. And then it might. Because we're in different cities. It might be little handwritten things appear in the mail from a secret admirer.

[Fortune Feimster]

Really? And you think the high Tig and then me getting handwritten top secret stuff in my mailbox. I'd connect the two.

[May Martin]

I don't know if the high Tig would be enough.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's a stretch. Because I'm. I. It takes a lot for me. You basically have to say, I like you.

[May Martin]

Okay, well, that's where that would be my next step.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, I told you my. The secret now. Now I'm vulnerable.

[May Martin]

How would you flirt with me?

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh.

[May Martin]

And let's say this has really lodged itself in your mind and for some reason you've decided this is the right move.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, here's how I think. I flirt with everyone.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

But also it's what I do to people I'm not even flirting with, which is. I tease them.

[May Martin]

I know, I know. And so I wouldn't distinguish. I might be like, oh, Tig's going really hard on me. And I'd be giggling. I'd be laughing.

[Fortune Feimster]

You'd be giggling.

[May Martin]

I would be giggling like a schoolgirl.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay. And then do you tease people when you're trying to get something going on?

[May Martin]

I do. But also, usually the people that I'm going for have a. Are sort of high status. Like, and they're the ones making fun of me. And so I just kind of. I fall into that role and then I kind of amp it up.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay. Okay.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've been accused of flirting with people that I wasn't flirting with because you.

[May Martin]

Were making fun of them in a really charming way.

[Fortune Feimster]

I just, like, I don't know if it was charming. I think it might have been relentless bullying. No, not bullying, but just like, oh, my God, with. There's certain personalities. You just.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

You can't stop me.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, I. I cannot. I can't be stopped.

[May Martin]

I mean, there is something nice when someone makes fun of you. It's like they see you, you know, They're. They're paying extra attention. They're noticing your weird little quirks and stuff.

[Fortune Feimster]

For sure. For sure.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

And. And your normal little quirks. Yeah, normal and weird quirks.

[May Martin]

Okay. So I'd kind of noticed that you were doing that more than usual.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And then how would you cross the line? How would you.

[Fortune Feimster]

How would I get this going on?

[May Martin]

Like a late night? Text you up.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's 1:00am well, yeah, I guess I might be up because I do have trouble sleeping. Yeah. So maybe I would just text you and say, hi, May.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. That would honestly be. That's a really cool move. I'd be like, take notice my high tick.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. And then, hi, May. But it would come, like, weeks later, you know, because I would have thought it out and I'd think it through. I'd be like, oh, this is. I'm coming on too hard here.

[May Martin]

Right. You know, play a really long game.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh. When I. When I was interested in Stephanie, I texted her once a month.

[May Martin]

Yeah. That's impressive. I'm like, verbal diarrhea. Texting. Sending memes.

[Fortune Feimster]

What? Sending memes. Like, I always get confused with memes and emojis. Memes are like little short videos.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Or a picture. But, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Actually, maybe I wouldn't do that. Maybe I'd be cooler than that at this stage in my life. I might be.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't think so.

[May Martin]

I don't think so either.

[Fortune Feimster]

My inbox would be full of memes, so.

[May Martin]

But do you agree that we'd be the more likely pair out of the three of us, or do you think you and Fortune would have something going on?

[Fortune Feimster]

I feel like Fortune would respond to both of us like, I don't know, bud. You know, just real, like, yeah, I'm going to go home with Biggie and Jax, Bud. And then you and I are like, okay, well, we're going to hook up then.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

If we can't have Fortune, we're going to hook up.

[May Martin]

Exactly. Exactly. Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, well, I'm glad we got that out of the way.

[May Martin]

Me, too. Me too.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

How's your day going?

[Fortune Feimster]

Good. I have a lot of lines, and Holly Hunter, the star of our show, likes to rehearse, so sometimes that takes up my weekends.

[May Martin]

Right. I respect that. I'm a rehearser.

[Fortune Feimster]

Listen, I respect it so much. I just. It makes me nervous because I guess I am used to showing up to a scene prepared, and I guess I am prepared. I can't even say I'm used to showing up prepared because I struggle.

[May Martin]

In.

[Fortune Feimster]

This line of work. But rehearsal, you're really fumbling through it.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

In the early stage and I don't know, but I think it's, it's ultimately great for everybody to have rehearsal time.

[May Martin]

There was once there was a guy in my show Feel Good, who we had written in the script that he had to do chin ups or pull ups, either one. It was like he has to do like five or six. And so he spent months like learning. And then when he showed up on the day, it just wasn't the same equipment that he thought it was going to be. And it really threw him off. And that's the thing with rehearsing. Sometimes you might get it one way in your head and then you show up and the director says something totally different.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes.

[May Martin]

Oh, no.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, hopefully I don't have to do any of that sort of exercising.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because I'm definitely not prepared for that.

[May Martin]

You show up and they're like, we were thinking, this starts with you pumping iron.

[Fortune Feimster]

This scene, twice your body weight.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

But that's, it's good. And what about your day?

[May Martin]

Yeah, my, my. Yeah, my day's good. I went to the gym and I'm really noticing I was pumping iron. I was getting, getting big. Nice. But I'm really noticing that I'm a messy person. Like the place I'm staying is. I'm. Is so messy and I've barely been here anytime and I'm having to like face myself and look.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you just noticed you're messy?

[May Martin]

Yeah, maybe. Like I, I leave cupboard doors open. I'm. It's not like dirty like food mess, but just empty boxes. You're pretty tidy.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I am tidy, but I have a problem area which is my, I think I've talked about it. My kids art pile.

[May Martin]

Oh.

[Fortune Feimster]

And it is growing massively. And I'm, I'm, you know, in the back of my mind I'm like, I'm gonna do something with this. And I think a lot of parents do that.

[May Martin]

I just saw a thing advertised where you can send it away and they scan it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Everybody's told me this, but I want to do something with the actual art.

[May Martin]

Right, Right.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I'll sort this out.

[May Martin]

I. I went to stay at my friend's house and she had made a quilt out of like old jeans and stuff. I think it was like a loved one had passed. She made this quilt out of all their old clothes. And I, before I left, because I was staying in the guest bedroom, I left a little note in one of the pockets of the jeans that have been used in the quilt. And I was just like, whoever finds it, finds it. No one might ever find it. Yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, if it gets washed, it's gone.

[May Martin]

That's true. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. But being a messy person, you wouldn't know about washing quilts.

[May Martin]

Oh, no. I'm obsessed with laundry. Oh, I love doing laundry.

[Fortune Feimster]

But then I love fold it.

[May Martin]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You love it?

[Fortune Feimster]

I love it. I find it relaxing, and I. It makes me feel like I'm taking care of my family, getting their little clothes ready for the week and, you know, all that kind of stuff.

[May Martin]

Folding their little clothes. Oh, my God.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Matching socks and all that.

[May Martin]

Did you ever. Before you kind of settled, like. Like when I was first kind of living in my own places and stuff. Did you go to the Laundromat ever? Did you have that? That was a big part of my life for a while.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah, I definitely went there. I remember Sarah Silverman went with me one time to do my laundry, and she pulled one of my flannels out, and she said, if I didn't know you were here, I would think there was a little tiny lumberjack doing laundry.

[May Martin]

A tiny lumberjack.

[Fortune Feimster]

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

[Tig Notaro]

Like, you know how to check that you have your passport before heading over the pond for a handsome holly bob?

[Fortune Feimster]

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. This content is intended for audiences in the US Only. Savings vary terms apply. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. But, yeah, I used to spend a good amount of time in laundromats. Me too. Yeah, those are the days where you.

[May Martin]

Could be bored and enjoy boredom and just sit there, watch the clothes turn.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes.

[May Martin]

There'd be some shitty TV on the wall playing like, Dr. Phil.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God. Nobody would possibly do that now.

[May Martin]

I know. It's all phones, also Internet cafes. People used to go and just spend 14 hours playing Diablo or video games, and they would just live off of, like, ramen noodles and chips, and I don't think that's a culture anymore.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wow. I'm not even familiar.

[May Martin]

It was crazy. There was a guy called Diablo Dave in Toronto who I think lived in an Internet cafe.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wow.

[May Martin]

Just playing for. And he would make money by selling, like, items that you can collect in the game. He'd be like, well, I got a battle ax. You can buy it for free. $4.

[Fortune Feimster]

You know, it's very likely he's listening to us.

[May Martin]

I hope so.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Should we see what our listeners want to ask us? Maybe there'll be a question from him.

[Fortune Feimster]

Sure.

[Shem]

Good evening, handsomes. My name is Shem. It's a little bit after midnight here in Salt Lake City, and I'm up with my new son, baby Zeke, who is not quite three weeks old. We would love to know, if you were part of a community of woodland creatures and also a small business owner, what animal would you be and what would be your job? For example, you could be a squirrel that runs a bakery or a tortoise that provides affordable marriage counseling.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God.

[May Martin]

That's one of my favorite questions we've had in a while.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, it's good. And I immediately know that I'd be a beaver working on the dam.

[May Martin]

Working on the dam. Just on your own dam or can people hire you to work on their dams?

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, I'm for hire for sure, but man, what is better than seeing a beaver working their little beaver face and teeth off? Just trying to get everything. The fact that animals know what they're supposed to do is the craziest thing in the world.

[May Martin]

That's so true, actually. Like, that. The beaver is not like, build a tree house.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's like, no, no, I gotta build a dam.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then here comes the new babies building the dam. But I guess that's what beavers do. And maybe I'm being asked, or we're being asked, what would we do?

[May Martin]

Yeah, like a little business. Like a. What's the beaver's passion? Aside from it's, you know.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I would say the beaver probably works at the tennis courts.

[May Martin]

I love that there's tennis courts. Are they using little acorns for balls?

[Fortune Feimster]

Probably, but they're using their little tail.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God, yes. Like, it's. The tennis coach.

[Fortune Feimster]

Is exactly it.

[May Martin]

Smack.

[Fortune Feimster]

What about you?

[May Martin]

I would be a. An old badger. And I live. I'm a sort of bachelor. An old. And I live in a. My little badger den. And I make. I'm a sculptor and. Yeah. And you can commission stuff and you can bring found objects and I'll turn them into art. And. Yeah. I'm a badger sculptor, I think.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow.

[Fortune Feimster]

And tiny sculptures. Or math.

[May Martin]

I'm changing my mind about it all. Can I be a rabbit that makes soup? I want to be a rabbit.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God. I would hope there's carrots in there.

[May Martin]

Yeah. A rabbit that's. Is making this really good Smelling soup out of my little rabbit warren. And you can come and I'll give you a little cup of soup.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I like that. Yeah.

[May Martin]

That's better than this old bachelor badger who you bring garbage to and he turns it into art. I don't like that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, out that goes.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Should we hear what Shem has to say?

[Shem]

I would be a porcupine that runs a 24 hour library. Porcupines are ridiculous and beautiful and I would love to be able to go to get a new book at 4 in the morning. Thanks. Love the show.

[May Martin]

Great.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, Shem is just hitting it.

[May Martin]

Yeah. And also he said it was midnight when he was sending this message, so.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, it sounds like a midnight message.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Thank you, Shem. And congrats on your little tiny cub.

[May Martin]

Yes. And on your 24 hour library.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I can't wait to hear what the little cub does for a living in the woods.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. Zeke.

[Fortune Feimster]

Zeke. All right, let's. Let's move it along.

[Lucy]

Hi, handsomes. My name's Lucy. Long term listener. Love the pod. I live in England and I'm hoping that my accent might sway you to feature my question. I know you're always talking about cute accents, and I don't know if mine's cute, but here we go. It's British, so it's worth a shot. My question is that I want you to imagine that you are 80 years old and you have a genie come to you, and the genie says you're 80 years old. You can go back and have one perfect day from any point in your life, and you get to pick what day that is, and you get to relive it and redo it, but you've probably then only got a few months left, and then you're going to snuff it. Or you can have another five years. So you'll live till you're 85, but it's just going to be kind of your average life between 80 and 85. So. Yeah. I would like to know what you would choose.

[May Martin]

Ooh. And in this scenario, you're not doing great. She's saying so.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I mean, I guess you just live an average life for five years.

[May Martin]

Right, Right.

[Fortune Feimster]

Or you go out in a bang.

[May Martin]

Go out in a bang. And when you go back and live the perfect day, I wonder if you're still 80 or you go back to being young.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I guess we just have to decide. It's your answer. It's like you're back in that day however you were.

[May Martin]

Okay. Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then you die right after that.

[May Martin]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think because I have children, I would take the average. The average long stretch just because I'd want to see. I want to see what goes on with them, you know, I want to see what. What they become, what their life is, what they're up to, how they're doing.

[May Martin]

I think I'm going to take the five years too. Because even if your life is average or your, you know, your health isn't great, like, you can read books and. Yeah. Five years is a long time. No, I'm gonna. I'm gonna take the five years. Yeah. Also in the five years, someone might invent something that means, you know, you live. You upload your consciousness and live another hundred years.

[Fortune Feimster]

And somebody might invent something that means that could make those five years not so average.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. So hold out hope for that.

[May Martin]

Or they could invent a time machine. And then you could also have the one day.

[Fortune Feimster]

There's so many options.

[May Martin]

Yeah. And I don't even know what. I don't know what day I would choose because I'd also be worried that I'd go back and it wouldn't be what I remembered or I'd. I'd mess it up.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. You don't want to take that chance.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Okay. We're both taking the five years.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Another example of how compatible we are.

[Fortune Feimster]

Truly, this episode is very sexy.

[Lucy]

I would choose to go back and have one perfect day. I don't really know what it's like to be 80, but my grandparents said it's. Yeah. You know, take it or leave it. So I think I would go back and I would choose. I know exactly what day it is. It's a Sunday and me and my husband have not had children yet, so we're not permanently exhausted. And we are lying in bed on a Sunday morning and it's beautiful day and just cuddling up. And my husband just said to me, do you want to go for a roast dinner at the pub? And I was like, yeah, okay. And we just did. And it was great food. And then we had a lazy dog walk and just watched telly and it was just so peaceful and so calm. And I don't know why, it was one of the best days ever, but.

[Fortune Feimster]

It just was, you know, that's a great day. But I have to be honest, it also sounds like a classic day of an 80 year old.

[May Martin]

That's so true. A lazy, like, where the highlight is a pub lunch.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Also so funny that she wants to go back to before her kids were born Lucy.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, classic Lucy. That's our Lucy.

[May Martin]

That's our Lucy.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love Lucy.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Very British answer as well.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Couldn't be more British.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I mean, through pub in there, you got to a lovely perfect day. Well, we did it, May.

[May Martin]

We pulled it off again.

[Fortune Feimster]

We pulled it off again and we were able to be professional even though there's a lot simmering between us.

[May Martin]

Yeah, we kept it together.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did. For now.

[May Martin]

For now. Beads of sweat pouring down my well. Diablo Dave, if you're listening, there's still a chance for you to send in a question. Go to speakpipe.com handsome pod please keep sending your questions. We're loving these. It's so fun.
