[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And everyone there's in the nude.

[May Martin]

Yeah. That's true. Well, they have, like, private massage rooms, but they are in the nude. You'd have to get your gams out.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Because people. Because the. For those of you who don't know, the Korean spa is, like, a lot of different rooms, and there's steam rooms. Right. And like, rooms with water, and you're getting washed off and scrubbed down and.

[May Martin]

Yeah. The most intense room is an ice room. That's like an ice sauna that I. I love it a lot. It's very punishing, but, you know, I like that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Like a little danger with your massage.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. Don't want to be too relaxed.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love a massage. I don't know if that. I have to go back on the road again right away on Wednesday, but I was proud of myself. I worked out four days in a row on. While on tour.

[May Martin]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Dude, that's huge for me. Yeah. I am determined on this tour to be much healthier than I was on my last tour.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I. I'm down 40 pounds, and I'm going to keep it going. Yeah. That. My last tour was not. Not healthy. So every hotel, I went to the gym.

[May Martin]

Yes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Then when I got home, I treaded water which is my thing now.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And, yeah. Feel really. I'm hopeful about the balance of this tour.

[May Martin]

Yeah, great. My thing is, like, on tour is my phone, like, just getting back to the hotel room. I'm like, I'll spend. Yeah. An hour and a half on my phone before bed.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, yeah.

[May Martin]

And just looking at, like, pictures people have tagged from the shows and people's comments, and I just get sucked into a vortex.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, it's hard to come down off that high. Right. You have this show with all that energy, and then you get back to your hotel and you're kind of having to slowly, in increments, come down from that. Yeah, I get it. Some. Some scrolling and looking at pics and be like, oh, that was a fun look at what we did.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And sometimes people will tag you in a pic that is so unflattering and that you don't reach it. You don't repost those.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, welcome to my life. Yeah, I have some pretty unflattering angles. Well, good times. Let's. Should we get some questions?

[May Martin]

Yeah. Let's hear from people.

[CB]

Hello, May Take and Fortune. In absolutely no particular order. You're all fabulous. My name is CB And I live in Austin, Texas. Thank you all for coming. What a treat. My question for you is, I just got a little cat that showed up at my door, couldn't find its home, and I'm looking to name is White and Orange. Very affectionate, currently purring if you can hear. If not, that's a bummer for you. But I want to know what to name it. And obviously my first choice is Handsome, but I'm also thinking about naming him Calcifer from the studio. Ghibli Howl's Moving Castle. Who? You know, it's a little fire flame. So that's my answer, but I'm curious what yours is.

[May Martin]

Handsome's a great name for an animal. It is, because you'd go, morning, Handsome.

[Fortune Feimster]

Don't.

[Ryan]

Cats.

[Fortune Feimster]

Aren't cats, like, known for roaming around? What do we think this is? Someone's cat?

[May Martin]

Yeah, Yeah, I like what. I like the idea of, like, I like human names for cats, like Bruce or something, you know? Oh, yeah, Diane.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm going to go with the name Tiger.

[May Martin]

Okay. Yeah, you went. This is pretty standard orange. Am I not to judge?

[Fortune Feimster]

Not to judge, but I'm going but, like, exactly what I see. What's up, Tiya Tiger?

[May Martin]

Yeah, I don't. I don't mind that.

[Fortune Feimster]

What about T. Gray?

[May Martin]

Oh, T. Gray is good. What about. Yeah, I'M going to go Bruce or Diane, but I'm going to stick with that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Bruce or Diane. All right.

[May Martin]

But I actually. I think. I think Handsome's a really good. Really good name. Should we hear another one, though?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Hi, Handsomes. I love you all. I think you're all amazing. My name is Ryan, and I'm calling from New Hampshire, and I made it to Toronto to see your live show with one of my besties. So that's super fun. But what I wanted to ask you was, what do you think is your best impression of a person or a creature?

[May Martin]

Wow, that's great.

[Fortune Feimster]

Your best impression of a person? What, just any person?

[May Martin]

Yeah. Like an impression like you're Jennifer Coolidge is very strong.

[Fortune Feimster]

I want a hot dog real bad.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. What else have you got?

[Fortune Feimster]

A person or a creature?

[May Martin]

I've got. Well, I like to do Mr. Tumnus from Narnia. You know, he's like. He's got. He's like half deer, maybe deer from the. From the waist down and then. But I can't really do without standing up and doing the whole movement. But he's like Lucy Pevensy. I don't know. I really want to play Mr. Tumnus in the new the Greta Gerwig Narnia. And I told my agents, hey, this is. Can you reach out to Greta Gerwig and tell her I really want to play Mr. Thomas? And they were like. And then like a week later, I was like, hey, did you do that? And they were like, oh. Oh, no, that's. We're not. That's outrageous.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're like, I need you to believe in me.

[May Martin]

I know. I used to do all my teachers and stuff in school and. Yeah, but, like, celebs, like, I don't know. I really want to work on the. All the boys from Love on the Spectrum.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, yeah. I just saw someone on TikTok doing their impression. It was pretty spot on.

[May Martin]

I think I saw the same one.

[Fortune Feimster]

Voices. Don't speak to me about that, Mother. I know what it's like to live that way.

[May Martin]

That's a good Connor. And. And James is sort of like, yes, someone. Is it. Is it possible that we could.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Tanner's like, I am a good guy mom. I am a good guy mom. Right? That is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kelly. Yeah, Kelly. Yeah. I. I like ducks, too.

[May Martin]

That's good. What kind of animals do you like, Kelly? Do you like dogs? Do you like elephants? Do you like. Yeah. See, this is pretty good.

[Fortune Feimster]

I met Tanner in New York Last season, he and I both were doing the Kelly Clarkson show, and he was so awesome. We took a video together, and then he and his mom and his sister Midge came to my standup show, no Way at the Beacon.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And they were so great. I think it's probably a little overwhelming for him because, you know, it's like 3,000 people.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

In that theater. And a lot of people. He's very recognizable. So I think, oh, my God. It was like a stimulation overload for him. But he was so cute and sweet and his family like that show. If anyone's watched Love on the Spectrum, I always telling people to watch it. I think it's just such a pure, beautiful show about people who just want to love and be loved. And it's like kind of takes you back to what dating and love should be.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. Just like, so honest with each other.

[Fortune Feimster]

Getting a kiss is like the greatest thing in life. They've not had one. When seeing Connor. Did you see the episode where Connor got his first kiss?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

He's like, hand was shaking and he.

[May Martin]

Was like, it was incredible. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, you're like, that's what it's.

[May Martin]

Supposed to be, like, totally pure thing. And I think that show has really made a lot of people sort of raise their standards of what they're looking for. Just like kindness and openness and. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And they are very honest. If they don't like someone, they're like, can I just tell you? I'm. I just want to be friends. And they're like, okay, yeah, yeah. There's no games. It's like, really amazing to watch. But I was saying their families are so wonderful too.

[May Martin]

Like, totally.

[Fortune Feimster]

The. The support these kids have on that show is. Is really inspiring to watch.

[May Martin]

I know. We should definitely try and get a question from one of the cast. That would be great.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I could probably reach out to Tanner's mom.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. Yeah. That's amazing. So those are our impressions.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Let's hear Rien's answer.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, I do have. I have a made up impression from Pam the mall walker.

Of one time. I was on the subway in London. And there was this woman in her 50s, and she. She was running to try to make the train, and she. She ran in and she just made it. And the doors closed. But it was kind of hectic when she made it. Like, she kind of stumbled in and then she kind of looked around, goes, Jesus. And I think about it all the time. Jesus.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's hear it.

[May Martin]

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Hi, Tic.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hi, Mary.

[Morgan]

Hi, Fortune. My name is Morgan. I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. I just saw y'all at the Ryman, and it was such a fun show. You guys did awesome. My question for you all is, what is your favorite household appliance sound?

[Fortune Feimster]

By the way, all of our question askers today came to one of our live shows. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Very cool. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

We'll have to do some more in the future. We don't have anything lined up right now, but those were so fun. We'll have to look into that.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Okay. My one is, and I don't know if this is a phenomenon in America that I was unfamiliar with, but the past two places I've lived, the laundry machine. When it is Done Plays a song that is so long that. So this is. This is it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[May Martin]

It still goes on, so I've got to make a video of it. It's crazy, but that's my favorite thing. It's a whole little dance break every time I want.

[Fortune Feimster]

My mom has one of those. It's like. But it's much shorter.

[May Martin]

It's crazy, though.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know that that's the specific tune. I've only heard it, you know, a couple times a year. But it's something.

[May Martin]

You should be able to program your laundry machine, you know, with the sound of your choice. So I could get, for instance, Rhianne doing her ET So every time my laundry's done, it's like.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think you should be able to program your washing machine to sing I've been waiting for some clothes like you, and it would make you want to do laundry more. You guys don't see what's into that? Whatever. I'm going to program my washing machine to do that.

[May Martin]

I don't know that song.

[Fortune Feimster]

I've been waiting for a girl like.

[May Martin]

You oh, no, I don't.

[Fortune Feimster]

Waited for a girl like you I.

[May Martin]

Don'T know why I don't.

[Fortune Feimster]

Still don't know that.

[May Martin]

No, but.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, look it up.

[May Martin]

I will be.

[Fortune Feimster]

It'll blow your mind well, if I sing it and you don't like it, you're not. It's not going to get much better.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. You're really the. You're. You're like Kelly Clarkson.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm just like Kelly Clarkson, who, by the way, drove. Did we talk about that? Drove the lesbians wild.

[May Martin]

Oh, by doing the chapel Roan song.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, but. Well, all the songs Kelly does drives the lesbians wild, but in particular, Kelly sang that song justice got up on.

[May Martin]

A vacation far away.

[Fortune Feimster]

Come up, take something, come over, talk it over. There's so much that I want to say, you know, I like my girls a little bit older. And then winked.

[May Martin]

Whoa.

[Fortune Feimster]

She was saying that.

[May Martin]

Okay, so the wink was what? Really?

[Fortune Feimster]

So the. Yeah, it's the. It's called your love by the outfield. And the lesbians lost their damn minds.

[May Martin]

Listen, we all just take what we can get, and we get real excited.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think you should look up the video and see the wink. And Kelly later got asked about it, and she just has said, oh, I wink in my song a lot in my songs. And people were like, do you.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

That felt deliberate.

[May Martin]

Yeah. She should own the wink. I. I have a real wink fetish. Like, I. People who can confidently Wink.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love.

[May Martin]

So I don't know if it might be dangerous for me to watch this.

[Fortune Feimster]

You will. I mean, Kelly's voice, it's crazy already. Is just the greatest thing on earth.

[May Martin]

You know why I like it? It's effortless. It's like even. Because even Lady Gaga, even, you know, Alicia Keys, like, they' they're amazing voices, but they're pushing Kelly. It's like effortless. It's like that whole range is just sitting there for her.

[Fortune Feimster]

And she voice of an angel. And I've been a Kelly Stan from day one, long before all these tiktokers got on board. My entire four years on Chelsea lately was at different times, me giving a plea to Kelly Clarkson to come on the show, and she never did. And then I ran into her the year after Chelsea light was done, and I said, I used to talk about you all the time. She goes, I know.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. He's like, I know. And I had no impulse to reach out.

[Fortune Feimster]

I know. And I did nothing. But we're friends now. I've done her show 10 times more than anybody.

[May Martin]

10 times. Holy.

[Fortune Feimster]

10 times I've done the Kelly Clarkson show. They gave me a jacket on my fifth time.

[May Martin]

Whoa.

[Fortune Feimster]

From the Voice. It was a tiny jacket. I don't get to go on there as much now that it's in New York. But she asked the handsome question, too.

[May Martin]

Oh, yeah. I know. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

So we stan. We stan our gal, Kelly. And don't you be driving those lesbians wild, Kelly, with your twinks.

[May Martin]

I'm going to watch that as soon as we're done here.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's pretty. It's pretty great.

[May Martin]

Should we hear Morgan?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, let's hear Morgan's answer.

[Morgan]

So my favorite household appliance sound used to be the running dishwasher. It signaled the end of a long day, and it just felt like I had all my ducks in a row. But it has recently changed. My favorite sound is that of the garage door opening at the end of the day because it means my husband has come home from work, and my son, whenever he hears it, just lights up because he knows daddy's home and he's about to get to hug him and play with him. And it's just so sweet, and it just makes me feel really happy when I hear it. So, yeah, I can't wait to hear Yalls answers. Thank you so much.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's so great.

[May Martin]

I totally forgot that that was the question we were answering.

[Fortune Feimster]

I didn't even answer it.

[May Martin]

Oh, yeah, Sorry. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Mine would be the vacuum Only because, similar to her, it ignites other responses that make me happy. And the vacuum makes Biggie bark, and he runs over to it, and it's like. Like he's fighting it. And I think it's the cutest thing in the world. And so sometimes I will run the vacuum and push it near him just to get him to rise.

[May Martin]

Well, listen, he's pretty low key the.

[Fortune Feimster]

Rest of the time. Anything that amps him up is. Is fun to watch.

[May Martin]

Well, this has been an absolute delight.

[Fortune Feimster]

What a delight. Such a treat. I always like answering questions from our fans. We do that at our live show as well.

[May Martin]

Yeah. It's fun. People in the audience like.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. And it really does ensue some pretty crazy times.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

At the end of our Austin show, we had to sing a song together. And what a treat that was.

[May Martin]

Oh, yeah. I. I went weird there. I could see that that made you sad. We were, like, improvising a song that was like, thanks so much, Austin. We. Then it was my turn, and I was like, sometimes I feel so lonely, I want to die or something. But I didn't even mean that. It's just for some reason, I think song. I think emotions.

[Fortune Feimster]

You want to emote.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then I was like, okay. And then I took over. I was like, thanks for coming to our show. Keep it handsome.

[May Martin]

Yeah, you rescued it.
