1. Introduction and Episode Setup (00:35 - 01:19)

The episode kicks off with the hosts welcoming Mae Martin to the Pretty Little Episode segment. Mae humorously likens the segment to a movie subplot focusing on the developing relationships among the hosts.

Mae Martin [01:07]: "It feels like if there's a movie of the Handsome Pod, then the B plot is this relationship developing in the Pretty Little Episodes."

2. Discussing Gladiator 2 (01:19 - 05:20)

The conversation shifts to the recently released Gladiator 2, praised by Mae for its thrilling action sequences. Mae shares her enthusiasm for the film's depiction of glistening men in combat, expressing both admiration and humor.

Mae Martin [02:00]: "It's out. And it is so gay. Kind of. I mean, it's just glistening men fighting. It was really. I loved it."

Mae recounts a vivid and bizarre dream involving an older gay man rescuing her from execution, leading to a humorous exchange about receiving an enema.

The hosts delve into a specific scene from Gladiator 2 where the Colosseum is flooded with water and populated with sharks, debating the plausibility and logistical aspects of such a spectacle.

Mae Martin [03:23]: "But there's a big fight where they fill the Colosseum with water and there are sharks in there. So the gladiators are fighting in boats in the Colosseum, and then there's sharks that they've put in there. And I thought that was so insane."

3. Fear of Sharks vs. Other Fears (05:20 - 09:48)

Tig and Mae discuss common fears, contrasting the fear of sharks with more mundane dangers like deer and gerbils. Tig humorously points out that deer are more likely to cause accidents than apex predators like sharks.

Tig Notaro [05:31]: "People are so scared of sharks and bears when actually they should be more scared of deer."

The conversation takes an unexpected turn towards gerbil-related rumors, specifically the absurd claim that Richard Gere was involved in gerbil stuffing—a topic they debunk with both humor and skepticism.

Mae Martin [07:05]: "Didn't Richard Gere do it?"

Tig Notaro [07:14]: "There is no world Richard Gere had a gerbil in his anus."

4. Gerbil Rumors and Richard Gere (09:48 - 10:53)

The hosts thoroughly dismantle the ridiculous gerbil rumors, with Mae insisting the story must have originated from somewhere, while Tig emphasizes the implausibility of the claim. They ultimately conclude that the gerbil stuffing narrative lacks credible evidence.

Thomas Willette [09:48]: "Wikipedia says there is no evidence that the practice has ever occurred in real life. And its existence remains highly dubious."

5. Transition to Listener Questions (11:40 - 14:09)

After addressing the outlandish gerbil topic, the hosts seamlessly transition to their first listener question, submitted by Jacob. They encourage more listeners to send in questions, setting the stage for an interactive segment.

Tig Notaro [11:40]: "Oh, my God. Well, should we just transition on over to our first question?"

6. Listener Question 1: Communicating with Animals (11:44 - 15:02)

Question: If you could fluently communicate with any animal, which animal would you choose and what question would you ask it?
Submitted by: Jacob

The hosts share their thoughts on this hypothetical scenario. Tig expresses a desire to understand her cat, Linus, while Mae contemplates conversing with birds to uncover secrets about aliens or gain insights into her personal life. The discussion highlights their personal connections with their pets and the whimsical nature of the question.

Tig Notaro [12:03]: "I would definitely love to know what, if anything, Linus is thinking."

Jacob adds his own preference for communicating with ravens, intrigued by their intelligence and longevity of grudges against humans.

Jacob [14:10]: "I would choose ravens... I would ask them what the most interesting thing is about the area that they think is interesting."

7. Listener Question 2: Biggest Spoiler Experiences (15:12 - 19:25)

Question: What is the biggest thing that somebody has spoiled for you?
Submitted by: Lucy

Mae recounts a disappointing experience where a classmate spoiled the death of Sirius in Harry Potter, leading to frustration and lingering resentment.

Lucy's Story [15:43]: "I had one of the big Harry Potter books... I remember him standing up at the back of the school bus and shouting down the whole thing, sirius dies. And I just could have. I could have Killed him."

Tig shares her struggles with others spoiling movies for her, particularly mentioning The Sixth Sense.

Tig Notaro [17:25]: "People spoil movies for me all the time because they know I'm not going to watch them."

The hosts reflect on the impact of spoilers on their personal experiences with beloved media.

8. Children's Belief in Santa Claus (19:25 - 20:28)

The discussion shifts to the challenges of having children who still believe in Santa Claus. Tig shares a heartwarming story about her son, Max, who genuinely believes in Santa's existence, complete with elaborate narratives about Santa's practices.

Tig Notaro [19:57]: "Max told us that he was lying in bed just before he was falling asleep, and he saw Santa fly by outside the window with his sled and one reindeer."

Mae expresses her amusement and affection for the depth of children's imagination and belief.

Mae Martin [20:27]: "Well, who are we to judge? Maybe. Maybe it happened."

9. Closing Remarks and Community Engagement (20:28 - 22:36)

As the episode draws to a close, the hosts encourage listeners to submit their own questions and engage with the podcast community. They promote their merchandise and social media channels, fostering a sense of community among their audience.

Tig Notaro [21:02]: "Please submit, review, rate, all that good stuff. And until next time, keep it pretty handsome."

Mae and Tig wrap up with warm acknowledgments, reinforcing the podcast's friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

[Tig Notaro]

The Handsome Pod Pretty Little Episode hello May Martin.

[May Martin]

I take. How are you?

[Tig Notaro]

I'm doing well. Welcome to the Pretty Little Episode.

[May Martin]

Thanks for having me. And welcome to you as well.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, thank you for having me. It's always a pleasure to be here.

[May Martin]

An absolute pleasure. It feels like there's like if there's a movie of the Handsome Paw, then the B plot is this relationship developing in the Pretty Little Episodes.

[Tig Notaro]

What is the A plot?

[May Martin]

Just the regs. You, me and Fortune hanging out.

[Tig Notaro]

Uh huh. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah. And then I guess there's a C plot I don't know about of you and Fortune.

[Tig Notaro]

Exactly.

[May Martin]

Shit.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, exactly. And then there's the you and Fortune D plot.

[May Martin]

You have no idea.

[Tig Notaro]

And then there's the E plot of Thomas just running around nuts.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Trying to get everyone organized.

[Tig Notaro]

Putting things on lists and stuff. Doing nothing with the list. Yeah, I'd watch it.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I'd watch it.

[Tig Notaro]

Why not?

[May Martin]

I went to see Gladiator last night.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Gladiator 2. Know that was out.

[May Martin]

It's out. And it is so gay. Kind of. I mean, it's just glistening men fighting. It was really. I loved it. I had a great, A great time. But there is.

[Tig Notaro]

Were you hot for them?

[May Martin]

Oh, yeah. I mean, come on. It's like they're the two hottest people around right now.

[Tig Notaro]

Who, who's in the movie?

[May Martin]

Paul Mezcal and Pedro Pascal.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

I actually had a sex dream the other night about a an older gay man who said to me he could rescue me from execution. I was going to be killed by the government. You see? He said, I can see. He said, I can rescue you, but I'll have to cover you in oil and then you'll stay young forever. And so he did this to me and then he gave me an enema. This was my dream. It was crazy.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, it feels like a dream that could easily come true in your life.

[May Martin]

I'm up for that. Sure, why not?

[Tig Notaro]

At this point, you're having that dream. Meanwhile, I'm tossing and turning with my eye mask on and earplugs in, desperate.

[May Martin]

To get even five minutes of sleep.

[Tig Notaro]

And you're getting an enema.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I'm getting an enema from, like, loving it. Yeah. But there is a part in Gladiator where. And this is, I don't think a spoiler because it's not like a big plot.

[Tig Notaro]

Good.

[May Martin]

But there's a big fight where they fill the Colosseum with water and they. And there are sharks in there. So the gladiators are fighting in boats in the Colosseum, and then there's sharks that they've put in there. And I thought that was so insane. And I don't know if that. I don't want to find out if that was really a thing that happened. I don't. How would you even collect sharks?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I don't know.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Thomas Willette]

They did flood the Colosseum, but there were not sharks is what I heard.

[May Martin]

Okay, well, that's crazy to know that they would fill it with water. But, yeah, sharks seems like a stretch.

[Tig Notaro]

So why did they put sharks in?

[May Martin]

To make it scary, I guess, in the movie. But they were also. Yeah, I like a shark in a movie. I'm really scared of them in real life. Are you?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, you know, I've gone swimming with sharks.

[May Martin]

Oh, yes. Fuck. Of course.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Like, not in a cage, just out floating, free floating with bull sharks, which apparently are the most aggressive sharks.

[May Martin]

That's so out of control.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I won't do it again. I don't know if you remember, but I called Stephanie to tell her, like, it was exciting good news. And she was not amused.

[May Martin]

Right. She was like, you have a family.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah. So I. But I am scared of sharks.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Definitely scared of sharks. But it was really crazy to full on face that kind of fear.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And that's not like a roller coaster. Face your fear. That's like, I don't know what my fear is gonna do. My fear is coming up to me and there's bloody Chum in the water.

[May Martin]

Chum.

[Tig Notaro]

And yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it's not like an irrational phobia either. It's like this is an apex predator that could easily swallow little Tig whole.

[Tig Notaro]

That's right. I mean, I was reading in the news the other day about how people are so scared of sharks and bears when actually they should be more scared of deer.

[May Martin]

Really?

[Tig Notaro]

That. That's who's gonna kill you?

[May Martin]

Why are deer gonna kill you?

[Tig Notaro]

Jumping out in the road.

[May Martin]

Oh shit. Right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Everybody has all these other fears when Bambi is frolicking and isn't it.

[May Martin]

And cows as well like that. Like if you actually look at the number of deaths caused by. It's like the cute. You know. It's probably a lot of gerbil deaths and stuff. But we're scared of like.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait a. Hold on. What are you talking about? You were talking about cows and then you said a lot of gerbil deaths. What?

[May Martin]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

Explain.

[May Martin]

Well I was just thinking we're. We're. We're exposed to gerbils quite a lot and I'm sure there's more.

[Tig Notaro]

I never see gerbils. Where are you seeing what is happening?

[May Martin]

I feel like they were big in the 90s. All my friends had gerbils that kept dying.

[Tig Notaro]

And oh friends had them in the 70s and 80s too. But how are we. I haven't seen one in decades.

[May Martin]

That's a good point. Should we write some observational standup about that? Whatever happened to gerbils? But I just mean there's probably more accidental gerbil related deaths like gerbils are.

[Tig Notaro]

Dying or people die because of gerbils. People die because of. They trip over the little gerbil ball that the gerbils running around in.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Or the gerbil bites. It's your jugular. Or. I mean look, I'm beating around the bush here. But we're all thinking it.

[Tig Notaro]

What.

[May Martin]

The gerbil up the bum. That's a thing. That's a real thing.

[Tig Notaro]

It can't be a real thing.

[May Martin]

Didn't Richard Gere do it?

[Tig Notaro]

This is the dumbest thing in the world.

[May Martin]

It's a thing.

[Tig Notaro]

Richard Gere. I have heard this rumor. But there is no world Richard Gere had a gerbil in his anus.

[May Martin]

I don't know. You get so famous at a certain point nothing excites you anymore. You might. You. You're like, oh, I guess I want to feel something.

[Tig Notaro]

And wait. Are. Okay. Let's remove Richard Gere.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And the made up story about the gerbil.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean and to quickly go back to him, the poor guy. Like what a weird story to follow you around. And you're still putting it out there. May. Okay, so removing him from the conversation. Where did this come from? People are not putting gerbils right.

[May Martin]

I don't know if it. It must have come. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Right. It must have come from somewhere. It must have Been a thing, maybe. I mean, how would that even work?

[Tig Notaro]

How do you get a gerbil to go?

[May Martin]

Look, the problem is not trying to get it to go in, it's trying to get it to come out. That's the problem.

[Tig Notaro]

Both seem like a problem. If I walked into the room and you had your pants down and you're trying to lure a gerbil.

[May Martin]

Oh, man, you're right.

[Tig Notaro]

How would you get the. How would you get the gerbil in there?

[May Martin]

You'd have to put some food in there first or something. But you're right. As we've actually broken it down and started thinking about it, it is so much more horrific than I just imagined.

[Tig Notaro]

I actually think it'd be easier to get it out because you just reach in there and pull the critter out. But like, to get it to go in to a closed cave, how easily.

[May Martin]

Are you reaching in there to pull it out there? I think you'd have to have a little string.

[Tig Notaro]

It has a tail, right? Definitely. They have tails. Or are those just rats?

[May Martin]

They have little nubbin tails, I think.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, well, I'm going to push for. Well, nobody should be doing this. I was going to suggest people do this with a rat because then you could at least keep the tail within reach. But, like, what terrible vegan would I be telling people? Use a rat rather than a gerbil.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't believe that people really did this. Thomas, can you Google to see if that's like, a thing that has really happened? Because the gerbil would have to be using its little claws and open it. Like how.

[May Martin]

Oh, it's for sure happened, though. It must have.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you speaking from experience, Max?

[May Martin]

Absolutely not. No.

[Tig Notaro]

They freaking from one of your gerbil orgies?

[May Martin]

No. No, never.

[Thomas Willette]

Wikipedia says there is no evidence. First of all, the entry is called gerbling, and it's also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting. And Wikipedia says there is no evidence that the practice has ever occurred in real life. And its existence remains highly dubious, as all rodents have long nails and teeth for digging or burrowing and naturally try to burrow out of any small spaces.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I rest my case. I rest my case. This is the dumbest conversation to ever happen.

[May Martin]

This is my whole world. My world is crumbling. Because, like, isn't it crazy how I feel like in the 90s, just we didn't even have social media or anything, but we somehow managed to spread rumors across every high school in the world?

[Tig Notaro]

Richard Gere is his face at least in that Wikipedia and saying, leave this man alone.

[Thomas Willette]

It's. He's not. But I did find this by searching Richard Gere.

[Tig Notaro]

Gerbil. You search Richard Gere and it immediately goes to Wikipedia. Gerbil Anus entry.

[May Martin]

That's so funny.

[Tig Notaro]

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

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, you know how to check and make sure your phone is charged before you call that really good friend that you haven't talked to in ages.

[Tig Notaro]

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 all state fire and casualty insurance company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. Oh, my God. Well, should we just transition on over to our first question?

[May Martin]

Yes, let's go.

[Thomas Willette]

I have a great question.

[Jacob]

Hi, handsomes. My question is, if you could fluently communicate with. With an animal, what animal would you choose and what question would you ask it?

[Tig Notaro]

I love that this is teed up by Thomas's. Now this is a good question.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. Thomas loves this one.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, man. I mean, I feel like my lazy go to would just be my cats.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

Just to find out, our son, I call him little son, but our cat, Linus.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I have given him a voice that makes him sound maybe not so smart.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And so I would definitely love to know what, if anything, Linus is thinking.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I mean, my first thought was like, you know, a white house dog or something that could tell me all the secrets about aliens and stuff. Then I thought, is there maybe a bird who lives outside one of my ex's house could tell me whether it's worth me still holding on.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. You could also have like a stray cat in your ex's yard.

[May Martin]

Yeah, that's true.

[Tig Notaro]

Or a little mouse that's living in the house.

[May Martin]

Now I feel like I'm being creepy and spying. Something about the bird just felt a little more innocent. I just. I don't. I don't need to know what's going on. I just want to know, should I still have hope? And I want to know what else are you seeing from up there? A bird would be really interesting to talk to. Like one of those. The fact that monarch butterflies migrate across the ocean with those flimsy little wings. I want to know how they're doing that.

[Tig Notaro]

Butterflies are remarkable, Right? Absolutely remarkable.

[May Martin]

Would you like to talk to a mountain goat?

[Tig Notaro]

I already do. They haven't answered back, but. Oh, My God. I'm like, how are you doing that? How are you doing that, Mr. Kloban.

[May Martin]

Hoof, I noticed that neither of us have said Biggie. It's because, look, in the safety of this pretty little episode, we know we don't need to talk to Biggie. You and I, we know Biggie would just be like, hello.

[Tig Notaro]

Yep. I love Fortune. I love Jax.

[May Martin]

I love Fortune. I love Jacks. I'm sleepy.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm hungry.

[May Martin]

Oh, it would be pretty cute, actually.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my gosh. Everything. All things Biggie is. Is the cutest thing.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, should we hear Jacob's answer?

[May Martin]

Yes, please.

[Jacob]

And my answer is, I would choose ravens, specifically this group of ravens that lives in our yard. We recently moved just outside of Toronto, and I would ask them what the most interesting thing is about the area that they think is interesting. Okay, thank you.

[May Martin]

That's a good one. Because ravens and crows intergenerationally carry grudges against humans. Like, they'll tell. A crow will tell their child for years. Yes, like that. So that would be interesting. They really remember stuff. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Good answer, Jacob.

[May Martin]

Very good. Very strong. What if the crow was like, I saw a murder, and then you had to decide whether to take the information to the cops and tell them where you. What your source was?

[Tig Notaro]

Only you can answer that, May.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I'd go to the cops, but I'd probably be committed, you know? Should we hear another question?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Lucy]

Hi, handsomes. My name's Lucy and I'm from England. I'm from the southwest of England, just near Bath, if you know Bath. It's where they filmed Bridgerton. My question for you is, what is the biggest thing that somebody has spoiled for you? So it might be the plot of a movie or a book or something, a surprise that was going to happen for you, but something that really sticks out in your mind of, aw, you ruined that.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, my life.

[May Martin]

Who ruined your life?

[Tig Notaro]

No, it's so funny. We were just talking about how Max and Finn are eight and a half.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And we have the reverse problem for most people where we can't get them to stop believing in Sam.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. Like, you've told them, and they're like, no, he's real.

[Tig Notaro]

We haven't told them. We just show them movies because we're kind of like, oh, my God, they're almost nine and they are all in, and we're just like, oh, my. Like, we are so ready to just be done with the Santa and the eating the cookie and the carrot and.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God, they're going to be at college and leaving cookies out.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my gosh. So we're trying to spoil it for them, but it won't take.

[May Martin]

I had somebody spoil Titanic for me when it came out that Jack was going to die. That was bad. I mean, I knew the ship was going to sink because I knew it was based on truth, but I didn't know that Jack died and that. That was a bummer.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry you went through that.

[May Martin]

Thank you. It was my first date maybe ever with Dalton Dane. We went. We held hands.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Our parents picked us up. It was a really romantic date, actually. We also went skating and we went to McDonald's.

[Tig Notaro]

My goodness. How old were you?

[May Martin]

12, 13, maybe. 12, 12, yeah. Have you ever had a movie spoiled for you?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, people spoil movies for me all the time because they know I'm not going to watch them.

[May Martin]

Right, right.

[Tig Notaro]

They're like, is it okay if I tell you? I'm like, tell me everything. It's fine.

[May Martin]

Did you know, have you seen the Sixth Sense?

[Tig Notaro]

I haven't. In fact, Stephanie was just talking to me about it the other night where she was like, it's truly a masterpiece. A movie like that will not shock anyone. Like. Or you can't.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

She was talking about how unusual it is to be absolutely blown away.

[May Martin]

It was so great.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Okay. Well, I won't spoil it for you then.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I mean, she spoiled it for me.

[May Martin]

Oh, she did?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Stephanie.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, because, I mean, I can say, no, I want to watch it, which I want to, but she was also talking about how cool it is that a movie like that, you watch it and then everybody wants to go see it again to view it.

[May Martin]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

Different eyes.

[May Martin]

Yeah. That's very cool.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And a tough writing puzzle. You're like, that's like a math problem.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

You're trying to write something like that.

[Tig Notaro]

Should we hear way too lazy? Yeah.

[Lucy]

And my answer for this question, I have a very, very clear memory of being probably about 14 and. And one of the big Harry Potter books had just come out, and I was so, so excited. And I was one of those people that would go and buy the Harry Potter book at, I don't know, midnight and then read it all day, but whoever this guy that was in my class obviously read faster than me. And I had just almost got to the end of the book, but not quite. And I remember him standing up at the back of the school bus and shouting down the whole thing, sirius dies. And I just could have. I could have Killed him. Yeah. That was the biggest spoiler. I was a huge, huge fan. I'm still a huge fan. And yeah, just kind of really. That really sucked. But anyway, I love you guys. Thank you. I listen every week and, yeah, you just make me really happy. Bye.

[May Martin]

Oh, thanks.

[Tig Notaro]

Thank you, Lucy. But you did just ruin Harry Potter for me, right? So now it's been ruined. Yeah. Ruined.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. Yeah. What kind of personality do you think it takes to be the guy that stands up at the back of the school bus? I mean, what I think it. If he's looking for, like, infamy, it worked because she still remembers it to this day.

[Tig Notaro]

I'll never forget.

[May Martin]

I'll never forget. And I'll never let go.

[Tig Notaro]

Real quick to go back to our kids believing in Santa.

[May Martin]

Yeah, truly.

[Tig Notaro]

Less than a week ago, less than a week ago, Max told us that he was lying in bed just before he was falling asleep, and he saw Santa fly by outside the wind. Eight and a half fly by with his sled and one reindeer. And he said he thinks he was doing a practice loop for, like, all the new people that have moved into new houses.

[May Martin]

Right?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Well, who are we to judge? Maybe. Maybe it happened.

[Tig Notaro]

That's so cute. Maybe it happened. But that's just an example of how deep they are in this. Anyway, that was a grand old time.

[May Martin]

A grand old time.

[Tig Notaro]
