Pretty little episode.
May Martin
Every time it startles me.
Tig Notaro
You know what I was gonna say. That was the very first time. It didn't startle me.
May Martin
Really.
Tig Notaro
I remembered it was going to be different. It was going to sound different.
May Martin
You were prepping yourself, hey, this is gonna sound different.
Tig Notaro
And it doesn't sound like the three of us saying, pretty little episode.
May Martin
No. I think it's because I went too deep on I went pretty little episode, and I should have gone and I.
Tig Notaro
Went pretty little episode. Yeah, exactly. That's what happened.
May Martin
Like, Marcel Michelle with shoes on. With shoes on. I always forget that.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
Tig Notaro
How do you miss the most important part? I mean, that is. That's a good name. If. If I had really thought about it and been more organized with naming children, I would have named one of my sons Marcel the shell with shoes on.
May Martin
Yeah. Or like, if we had qualifiers attached to our names, like, it would be May the comedian with. With short hair. It's not as good.
Tig Notaro
That's good. Or with oatmeal tattoo.
May Martin
Yeah. May the comedian with. Or with a sleazy gold chain.
Tig Notaro
Yep.
May Martin
What would yours be?
Tig Notaro
I would be. Oh, I almost copied Jenny and called me. I call. Almost call myself. Is it Tig the shell? Oh, the comedian. Okay. See, in my head, it was Tig the shell with slippers on. And now that's okay with that. Tig the Shell with slippers on.
May Martin
Yeah. I like that a lot.
Tig Notaro
Yeah.
May Martin
How are you? It's. Sorry to interrupt.
Tig Notaro
Oh, I was just talking more about the shell and shoes and stuff, but.
May Martin
I was just wondering how you are.
Tig Notaro
And I'm doing well. I've been. I've been home now for a little over a month, and I've just been walking around the house singing I'm normal, doing normal things in my normal life, and I love it so much. Like, oh, that's so n. Yeah. It's incredible to get up and Drive Max and Finn to school and then have coffee, take a walk with Stephanie and just chat. We'll chat for like an hour or something.
May Martin
And then, you know, craving that normalcy, like I'm craving having access to all my clothing options too. Like I've just had the same options for a month and I can't wait to get home and I just be able to wear a different pair of jeans, you know?
Tig Notaro
Yeah, it would definitely be nice to see you in a different pair of jeans.
May Martin
I know, I know.
Tig Notaro
I mean, I am so deeply sick of those jeans you've been wearing.
May Martin
I know. And you can't even see them. They're cut off screen. But you can sense that they're.
Tig Notaro
I can sense they're there and I'm sick and tired of them.
May Martin
Well, I tried to. I thought maybe you might enjoy this zip sweater. This like three quarter zip.
Tig Notaro
Yeah, I don't.
May Martin
I wouldn't usually wear. I usually wear a hoodie, don't I?
Tig Notaro
Well, that's really nice. You thought I'd appreciate it because it seems like I'd wear it.
May Martin
Yeah, it felt like a very tight garment and you know, it was just going to be you and me and I wanted to impress.
Tig Notaro
Well, it's been done here. I am very impressed. And I would like it as a. Hand me down, please.
May Martin
Oh, great. Okay.
Tig Notaro
Yeah. When you grow up older than me, which will never happen. When I was little, I used to think I couldn't wait until I was older than my brother. I was going to like beat him. I was going to like get older than him.
May Martin
Yeah.
Tig Notaro
And it didn't happen. No.
May Martin
Oh, well, well, well.
Tig Notaro
Popped in, went all rogue and popped into our pretty little episode.
May Martin
I feel like we've been away from me cheating. Yeah.
Tig Notaro
You feel caught cheating?
May Martin
Yeah, I kind of feel like, hey, we weren't having that much fun fortune, I swear.
Tig Notaro
Feels like we're.
Fortune Feimster
Feels like you were.
Tig Notaro
Yeah, we were.
Fortune Feimster
What are you guys talking about?
Tig Notaro
Oh, I was talking about how I've been doing normal things. I wrote this hit song called I'm doing normal things in my normal life and I'm just a normal person. Just because it feels good to be home and just taking Max and Finn to school and taking a walk and.
Fortune Feimster
You know, before you, bud.
Tig Notaro
Well, thank you. I'm just. I'm not. I'm not in Toronto anymore.
May Martin
And I am in Toronto. This is.
Fortune Feimster
We are crazy.
Tig Notaro
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
May Martin
And my song that I walk around singing is I'm still Away. I crack myself up and I'm really Glad that Fortune laugh never behold I'm.
Fortune Feimster
Hanging in my kitchen with my coot around.
Tig Notaro
What? What was that response? Fortune? Marie.
Fortune Feimster
I don't know. Tig Marie.
Tig Notaro
Okay, look at my mug.
Fortune Feimster
It says Ford.
Tig Notaro
What does that mean other than, like, a car?
Fortune Feimster
I don't know. Why do I have a mug that has Ford on it? Where did this come from?
Tig Notaro
I don't know, but that was a very, like, Aunt Fortune thing to to say. Like, yeah, my mug says Ford.
Fortune Feimster
It could say for chin.
Tig Notaro
Oh, yes. You know what my mug says?
Fortune Feimster
What?
Tig Notaro
Ask me about my cat.
May Martin
Does it actually say that?
Tig Notaro
It does?
May Martin
Oh, my God. So how is your cat?
Tig Notaro
Well, yeah, that's the vibe. And, you know, when people are visiting from out of town, I'll. I'll just be drinking out of my mug, and then I'll point to it, and I'll be like. And I'll point, you know, and then they'll be like, oh, how's your cat? Or I'll do it to Stephanie. You know, I'll be like, excuse me.
May Martin
Handsome mugs that say, ask me about my cooter.
Fortune Feimster
Ask me about my cooter.
Tig Notaro
That's a great idea.
Fortune Feimster
Great word.
Tig Notaro
Yeah, I went and did that podcast the other day. Office Ladies.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, yeah, about the office.
Tig Notaro
That's right, Fortune. What are you, a detective? And.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, that's my monocle.
Tig Notaro
When I walked in, the engineer or producer, editor, somebody had a little cowboy hat on.
May Martin
No.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
May Martin
That's amazing.
Fortune Feimster
I have my. Oh, wait, I don't. I thought I had my handsome sweatpants on.
Tig Notaro
Are you pantless right now? Yes.
Fortune Feimster
Ask me about my cooter.
Tig Notaro
I just realized that would be a good response to the Smartless podcast. Is pantless smart?
May Martin
That's true.
Fortune Feimster
And everyone doesn't wear pants. That's how it works.
Tig Notaro
That's exactly right, Fortune.
May Martin
And when we recorded, our cameras are just pointed at our bottom half. Yes. Top halfs are off camera. And we hold the mics to our butts, and we make it seem like our butts are doing the podcast.
Fortune Feimster
I don't know how long of a shelf life this podcast has.
May Martin
It feels career ending, to be honest.
Tig Notaro
I feel like it would shoot to number one or number two. Okay. Hello. Oh.
Fortune Feimster
Oh, my word.
May Martin
Should we get to some listener questions?
Tig Notaro
Yeah. Also, I can't believe Fortune barged in on our episode.
Fortune Feimster
Anyway, I swear to God.
Tig Notaro
Okay, go ahead.
Harmony
Hello, handsome friends. My name is Harmony. I'm here in Nashville, Tennessee. I heard your podcast talking about wanting Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman to come to Your show at the Ryman. And if anybody knew them to let them. No. So I see him on a regular basis and he just happened to come into my work today with his daughter, and I told him all about you guys and your handsome podcast and that you are coming to the Ryman and how much you guys love him and Nicole and that he should check you all out and he should go to the show. So, Keith, come through, stop in and say you're welcome. And if I had a question, it would be, can I take you all out to lunch in Nashville?
Fortune Feimster
And let's see.
Harmony
That would be yes.
Fortune Feimster
Let's see if Keith comes through first.
May Martin
I mean, when I heard that, I realized that I was taking it as confirmed that he's coming.
Tig Notaro
I was, like, hanging on. We didn't get any sort of information about. Did he seem interested? Did he care? Was he like, oh, my God, Tig Notaro.
Fortune Feimster
You guys, pretend you your harmony real quick telling Keith I'm Keith Urban. I've just come into your shop.
May Martin
Take you be Nicole Kidman, too.

Fortune Feimster
Good day.
Tig Notaro
Good day, mate.
Fortune Feimster
Good day, mate.
May Martin
Oh, my God.
Fortune Feimster
I think that's probably how it went down.
Tig Notaro
What do you guys think? Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate First.
Fortune Feimster
Like, you know, to check at the airport gift shop for any last minute souvenirs to bring home for loved ones after you go on that big work trip. Everyone loves a gift.
Tig Notaro
Checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate Savings. Vary subject to terms, conditions and availability. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. Wait, why does she see Keith Urban every day?
Fortune Feimster
I bet she's a hairdresser.
May Martin
He would go every day. Yeah, he's got an amazing head of hair.
Tig Notaro
He sure does.
May Martin
In answer to her, the second part of her question, I would 1 million percent go for lunch with her.
Tig Notaro
Okay.
May Martin
I mean, not in a weird way. I just want to know the local spots. I want to see, like, what's Texas food like?
Tig Notaro
Well, it's Nashville.
May Martin
Oh, oh, oh, it's Nashville.
Tig Notaro
I'm Going to go out to lunch in Nashville to see what Texas food is like.
May Martin
Oh, my God. I don't know. There might be a Texan restaurant in Nashville.
Fortune Feimster
It's got a Texas barbecue around this Nashville place. Oh, my God. What Keith doesn't know is that I know how to two step really well to one of his songs.
Tig Notaro
Which song?
Fortune Feimster
There's a new thing.
Tig Notaro
I know that song.
Fortune Feimster
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you. I'm a great two stepper to that song.
Tig Notaro
God, that's a good song.
Fortune Feimster

Tig Notaro
And really good.
Fortune Feimster
Honestly, Tig, if you saw me two.
Tig Notaro

These games, no pants on, you would Fortune turned on. I'm telling you, bud.
May Martin
I'm telling you.
Fortune Feimster
I'm telling you, bud.
Tig Notaro
You'd really want to piece.
Fortune Feimster
You guys are all the people listening. I don't toot my horn often, but toot toot. I can two step.
Tig Notaro
I actually feel like you toot horns like nobody's business. I'm always like, fortune, put the horn down, y'all.
May Martin
But wait, can you only two step to that song?
Fortune Feimster
Like, no, that's just a really good one to two step. Two, because it's. It's. It follows the rhythm of the two step, but it's upbeat.
Tig Notaro
And. Do you lead?
Fortune Feimster
I lead and of course I do. I'm also a very good salsa dancer, so I incorporated salsa moves, like spins and stuff into the two step thing.
Tig Notaro
Are you ever gonna go on slow dancing with the celebrities?
May Martin
Dancing with the celebrities?
Tig Notaro
Are you?
Fortune Feimster
They've never asked. I don't know. Because. I don't know. I. I would only really know how to be the boy parts.
May Martin
I think they would do that these days. Aren't they mixing it up sometimes? You could. Maybe you could dance with the woman.
Fortune Feimster
And do it like a lot of physical fitness.
May Martin
I thought you'd be incredible.
Fortune Feimster
I actually would be pretty good.
Tig Notaro
Oh, my God. Let's get Fortune on dancing with the Celebrities.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, it's a new show.
May Martin
Yes.
Fortune Feimster
Anyway, I used to go to Oil Can Harry's.

Huh?
Fortune Feimster
The gay country western bar.
Tig Notaro
Sure.
Fortune Feimster
And two step a bunch. But now I need a new place.

Wow.
May Martin
Let's go out.
Fortune Feimster
Okay.
Tig Notaro
Wait, are you asking Fortune out?
Fortune Feimster

Fortune Feimster
You should see it.
May Martin
I turn people.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah. I turn all the straights gay.
May Martin
With your two step.

Yeah. So straights, watch out. I want to love somebody like you. Well, Keith, come through.
May Martin
Yeah, Keith, come through.
Tig Notaro
Come on, Keith. I introduced Nicole Kidman at a award ceremony once. You can drop that to her.
Fortune Feimster
That's something.
Tig Notaro
Yeah.
May Martin
What did she say?
Tig Notaro
No, we were just standing quietly next to each other behind the curtain. Yeah, it was just me and Nicole Kidman, who is already a tall drink of water. If you've heard. If you've seen my hello Again special, I talk about. I think she's 6ft, and she had on really high heels, and I was just, you know, standing there, and my. My. My flats.
May Martin
And your flats. And your penny loafers.
Tig Notaro
Yeah, my penny loafers. And I had to introduce her onto the stage, and I just said, hi, I'm Tig. And she was like, nar. N. Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Nar.
Tig Notaro
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
I like Nicole Kidman so much, I went to the movie theater to see Baby Girl.
Tig Notaro
Wow. That is love.
May Martin
That's love. Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
Good.
Tig Notaro
And isn't she in movie theater? Like the intro at movie theater?
Fortune Feimster
Iconic.
May Martin
Famously.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, famously. People recite that. People recite her commercial.
Tig Notaro
Oh, really?
Fortune Feimster
Yeah.
Tig Notaro
Then tell me what it is, because I don't know.
Fortune Feimster
I didn't say I did. It's like we come to the gay guys. Love it.
May Martin
Yeah. I feel like gay men made that viral by. By recognizing how iconic it is. And it's like we. We come here to be startled to be. And then it goes even heartbreaking place like this.
Fortune Feimster
We come to this place for magic.
Tig Notaro
We come to AMC theaters to laugh, to cry, to care, because we need that.
Fortune Feimster
I just need to clarify for people.
Tig Notaro
No indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim and we go. We go somewhere we've never been before, not just entertained, but somehow reborn together. Dazzling images on a huge silver screen. Sound that I. That I can feel. Somehow heartbreak feels good. In a place like this, our heroes feel like the best part of us. And stories feel perfect and powerful because here they are. They are.
Fortune Feimster
Wow. Wow. That is pretty dramatic.
Tig Notaro
It is. And I'm gonna rehearse this over and over until I get it down. But I also want to acknowledge that we've kind of forgotten that we got asked a question, and we're really far off the rails.
Fortune Feimster
No, she didn't have a question.
May Martin
Yeah, she was with.
Tig Notaro
No, she. Yeah. And May is going to.
Fortune Feimster
Yes.

May Martin
They can know. I'm sure that you're invited.
Tig Notaro
You're not sure.
Fortune Feimster
We'll follow up with Harmony.
Tig Notaro
But also, I need Harmony. I need Harmony to tell Keith about Hello again. And about Nicole. The reference to Nicole in there.
Fortune Feimster
Okay, Harmony, let me replay him. Our rendition of Nicole's age.
Tig Notaro
Replay all of this.
May Martin
I don't know that that's gonna endear us.
Tig Notaro
I do. We're gonna have Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman on stage with us in Nashville. Oh, my God.
Fortune Feimster
If it were already sold out, it would sell out.
Tig Notaro
Oh, my gosh. We could add a second show because we have Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.
Fortune Feimster
She told him it was sold out. He should know that.
May Martin
You think?
Fortune Feimster
Because he's gonna be like, oh, they probably want me to sell tickets.
Tig Notaro
Okay. Nar.
Fortune Feimster
We don't need that when we're in.
May Martin
Nashville and your family's there and your mom's there.
Tig Notaro
Nashville or Texas, wherever.

Fortune Feimster
My mom can hook up.
May Martin
Hey, who are you gonna hook up?
Tig Notaro
You're offering your mother's cooter to May? Oh, my God. Hey, you know May is gonna use and abuse that thing.
May Martin
No, you go, I just want a spoon. I just want.
Fortune Feimster
There you go.
May Martin
To spoon your mom.
Tig Notaro
Would Ginger spoon May?
Fortune Feimster
Well, she might not be able to get back up, but. So we'll spoon May.
May Martin
Who would be the big spoon out of me and Ginger? I think me. Let's.
Fortune Feimster
You would just say me. Thank you.
Tig Notaro
Can we just say me?
May Martin
Can we just say I'm gonna be that big spoon?
Fortune Feimster
Well, Harmony, that was a delightful question.
Tig Notaro
Oh, yeah.
May Martin
Yes. Thank you so much.
Tig Notaro
Keep forgetting about you, Harmony. And I'm so sorry, because that was such a wonderful question to get. Thank you for listening to the podcast and get Keith and Nicole down to the show. It's sold out. We're big deals, okay? We don't need them there. We want them there.
Fortune Feimster
I love Harmony. That Harmony. Put Herself out there for us.
Tig Notaro
Yes.
May Martin
Like, we always ask people to spread the word about the pod.
Fortune Feimster
You did.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
That's a friend.
Tig Notaro
So, again, this is a great moment for us to say, listen, if you have access to a big wig, to Dolly Parton's bigwig, then please reach out and connect us, because we really need one of those to come through where it's hilarious that. That somebody told a massive celebrity and they just showed up or they come on our show.
Fortune Feimster
Like, Keith Urban just walks out on stage. That would be hilarious.
Tig Notaro
He's going to.
Fortune Feimster
Casey Musgraves. She has that gay song.
Tig Notaro
What is the gay song?
May Martin
Does she.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, it's a song about if your arrow points in a certain way. That's okay.
May Martin
That's great.
Fortune Feimster
Arrow is being gay.
Tig Notaro
That sounds gay.
May Martin
It sounds pretty.
Fortune Feimster
If you love somebody, point your arrow.
Tig Notaro
To a gay person.
Fortune Feimster
But, yeah, it's a gay song.
May Martin
I think we should just put Keith's name on the door, Put him on the list just in case he shows up.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, put him on the list for sure. Just.
Tig Notaro
I think we should also. We should also have a. A green room, a dressing room that. That says Keith Urban and, like, a big star on the door. And then the next door down, it's going to say Nicole Kidman.
May Martin
And we fill the dressing rooms with champagne and flowers.
Tig Notaro
Oh, they have separate dressing rooms, but then we also have a dressing room where it says Keith and Nicole.
May Martin
Oh, in case they wanted.
Fortune Feimster
In case they.
Tig Notaro
Yeah.
May Martin
Yeah.
Fortune Feimster
I've never been more excited for a live show. The only other one I'm this excited about is our Austin show, which you can live stream.
Tig Notaro
Which are our only two lined up.
Fortune Feimster
Exactly.
Tig Notaro
So those are the two that we're most excited about. Oh, well, I think that was such a massive guest to have a mysterious person that knows Keith and Nicole.
Fortune Feimster
Do you think she does Keith's hair? That's what I want to know.
May Martin
I know. I want to know what context she's seeing him in so regularly. And she's comfortable enough to be like, coffee shop or.
Tig Notaro
You know what? He, I bet, has more than one person that works on his hair because he's got famous hair. You know, there's layers.
May Martin
He would have one person per layer.
Tig Notaro
Yeah.
May Martin
Also, isn't he. He's into horses and stuff, so she could be a stable person.
Tig Notaro
He's like a little cowboy.
Fortune Feimster
He's a little cowboy.
Tig Notaro
He's a little cowboy.
Fortune Feimster
I just love the idea of him going, what?
May Martin
Why?
Tig Notaro
I think. I think harmony. Oh, and how perfect that her name is. Harmony.
May Martin
Can we quickly sing her name?
Fortune Feimster
Just do it.
May Martin
Can we quickly sing Harmony?
Tig Notaro
Harmony, Harmony.
Fortune Feimster
Wait, Tig, you're low. You start low. I'll go high.
Tig Notaro
Harmony, Harmony, Harmony.
May Martin
Wait, you got to keep yours going.
Tig Notaro
Tick, are you sure we want her to send this to him?

Tig Notaro
Wait, can I start high and then you guys go low?
May Martin
Oh, let's try it. Never tried it.
Tig Notaro
Harmony, Harmony, Harmony. I mean.
Fortune Feimster
I mean, this is why we sing our own theme song.
Tig Notaro
Are we starting a band called the Indigo Queers?
May Martin
Keith has got to hear this. We got to be backup singers for him.
Fortune Feimster
He's like, how much do you guys want from me?
Tig Notaro
Jesus, I'll pay you to stop talking about me.
Fortune Feimster
Yeah, but once he sees me two step into his song, it's game over, y'all.
Tig Notaro
And he sees your gams because you're gonna two step pantless, right? Yes.
