It's good to see my friend. I'm feeling extra gay today.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're looking extra gay today. As I said, it looks like you're coming out party.

[Tig Notaro]

Looks like I just got off the baseball field.

[Fortune Feimster]

Did you not?

[Tig Notaro]

No, I just recorded radio, but I was doing your thing, treading water and. And had to go right into my radio and haven't showered, so hence the. The hat.

[Fortune Feimster]

So you're full of chlorine.

[Fortune Feimster]

See, see, see. Now, can we acknowledge that we just got back from our. Our Handsome tour?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. We had awesome shows in Nashville and Austin. How did you. How did you enjoy them?

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my Lord, I really enjoyed them. Yeah. Yeah. Our live shows are just life affirming to me.

[Tig Notaro]

It's pretty incredible, right?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah. It's not like I don't enjoy doing our audio recordings, but there is something about being in front of those live audiences that are. It's just magical. It's really magical. And it's so different from doing standup because, I mean, if you've seen our after midnight episode, it's that kind of vibe where we can go rogue. And if anybody tells me, you can go rogue, man, there is no turning back for me.

[Tig Notaro]

That's right.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

So did you have a good time?

[Tig Notaro]

I had a great time. I. The passion for the podcast is still a year and a half, Finn. Really mind blowing to me.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty great. And it's always surprising. It's like I was telling Stephanie after we dropped Max and Finn at school this morning that it's always fun to find out who listens to it, because of course, I'm not lying in bed thinking, oh, I wonder who from my past is listening to this show, but the. Our mutual friend Jamie Babbitt, the writer. I think she's more a director, producer, but she texted me and Fortune heard.

[Tig Notaro]

Us talk about her on the Rate on the podcast.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. And she was like, yeah, I did set up a dinner for you two to meet each other because I thought you'd be friends. And I was right. As I sit here listening to you on your podcast, and I was like, oh, God, how funny. Jamie Babbitt listens to us. You know, do you have those moments where somebody is like, oh, yeah, you were saying that on Handsome. I'm like, you listen to this show?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Or like, I'll go on different talk shows or whatnot. And the producers are like, we all listen. And I'm like, yeah. Whoa. So cool.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I'm always thinking, God, what have I shared on here?

[Fortune Feimster]

I know, and you have shared a lot.

[Tig Notaro]

I really revealed way too much.

[Fortune Feimster]

I know. I have those moments as well. But, yeah, it was just so fun. And then it was fun to be back in. I mean, I so enjoy Nashville, but it was also so fun to be back in Austin, where I think I mentioned I lived there for just a blip in time. But it's some place that I return to like once or twice a year because I have family and do my, you know, stand up shows and whatever. But it just feels really good. And it's also nice. Stephanie and Max and Finn love Austin, so it just feels like a version of coming home, even though it's not quite right. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

A very familiar place. I love that.

[Fortune Feimster]

But it's definitely not a Handsome show. Is definitely not something that I invite my family to because they don't listen to the show. And I think it would be confusing inside baseball things. I think they would just be like, what the hell is this?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, one of my friends, I had a good friend come and she brought another friend who I don't think listens to the pod. And she had said she had a great time.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, okay. Well, my aunt and uncle are like 83.

[Tig Notaro]

They definitely are not gonna be into it.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I. I wondered actually, did my. Does my family know I'm here for Handsome? Because I had been there two weeks before for the Human Rights Campaign.

[Tig Notaro]

Right.

[Fortune Feimster]

I was in Austin for that. And so I told them I was there for. For that, but then I didn't tell them I was back. Do you ever struggle with that of like, who you tell you're in town and when.

[Tig Notaro]

And yeah, I usually don't tell anyone, but they see my tour schedule.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And it's always. I caught up with a lot of friends this past weekend, which is great. But there are. When I'm in the thick of the tour, like six months, it's so hard to get. Find that extra energy.

[Fortune Feimster]

I know it, it's. I was in Houston before Austin clearing out my parents, doing the final sweep of their storage space and shutting that down. And. And I had two days off in Houston and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna reach out to some old friends. And then I was like, oh, my God, I can't get up and do anything.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I just. I saw an old friend who I'd known you met her backstage at Handsome. Yeah. She's who I spent my whole Texas trip with. But I have the good intentions to see people. But. Yeah, it gets so hard.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, it's a lot of energy output on a tour.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And traveling. So, you know, do you get people.

[Fortune Feimster]

Going, oh, you think you're too good for me now that has happened, yeah. Oh, really? And what, it's been a minute.

[Tig Notaro]

It's been a minute, but early, earlier days. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And is that what you felt was, I am too good for these people?

[Tig Notaro]

No, it's just each of my tours are 150 shows in 100 cities.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And that's not even my full time job.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right, right.

[Tig Notaro]

So it's just a lot of output.

[Fortune Feimster]

No doubt. Especially for you, man. A lot of output from Fortune. Feamster.

[Tig Notaro]

That's right.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But it's all good stuff. I'm glad we did it.

[Fortune Feimster]

For sure. It was. It was really, really fun. Should we. Should we check in with listeners and see if anybody has a question for us?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Queen.

[Fortune Feimster]

How dare you.

[Natalie]

Hey, handsomes. I'm Natalie. I'm a pretty little lady from Vermont. Oh, hey, I'm Lily. I'm from Athens, Georgia.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh.

[Natalie]

And we go to school together. We go to Mount Holyoke. It's in Western Mass. We think you should come visit. There's lots of handsomes here.

[Tig Notaro]

Nice. Thomas, will you please put down the list?

[Fortune Feimster]

That's hilarious.

[Natalie]

Something weird that creeps or grosses you out.

[Tig Notaro]

Clearly. Chlorine on a body for Tig.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, yeah, that. I already answered that. Were they not listening?

[Tig Notaro]

It can be any, like, anything that grosses you out. I mean, this is like, more of a thing.

[May Martin]

But.

[Tig Notaro]

But spiders. I hate spiders so much. They gross me out.

[Fortune Feimster]

So you don't pick them up like me with your bare hands.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm all like, that's what I turn into. A dainty lady.

[Fortune Feimster]

A pretty little lady.

[Tig Notaro]

Pretty little dainty lady. They are. I'm not into them. None of them. Don't like them. When I was touring in Australia, our tour.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, are we talking about Australia again?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Down under, he showed me a huntsman spider that was at his house. And I'm telling you, like, the size of a bat, like, basketball. And I would die if I saw that. And they're just like, yeah, look at that. Look at that big spider. We're just gonna leave it up there.

[Fortune Feimster]

So, wait, where was it? Where?

[Tig Notaro]

In his, like, doorway.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, this? Look up.

[Tig Notaro]

Next time you're. You have a free minute on Google. Look up huntsman spider and be prepared to.

[Fortune Feimster]

So it's, like, in the doorway, just hanging out. And so what if it has to relieve itself?

[Tig Notaro]

How big is that? I didn't dig into the ins and outs of that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right. Okay, It.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm looking at it now. It's. They're ginormous. It's. Y'all. You don't even know.

[Fortune Feimster]

I. I probably wouldn't mess with that. But I do have to say I really enjoy making Stephanie squeal. I can't see that. I'll have to look it up.

[Tig Notaro]

I cannot.

[Fortune Feimster]

But that was for the YouTube folk. If you'd like to see the size of the pot of the. I was going to say the podcast of the spider head on over to YouTube, but I couldn't see it.

[Tig Notaro]

Apparently they're friendly, but that doesn't matter to me.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, they shake hands, all eight legs.

[Tig Notaro]

They kind of do their thing. They leave you be. But I don't want that. I don't want that.

[Fortune Feimster]

I dated somebody that had a spider in a web in. I lived with her briefly, like, 20 something years ago here in LA. And in our closet, there was a large spider. Not that I'm sure not that big, but probably the size of the palm of my hand in a spider web. Just chilling. And she did not want it to be bothered. So we just kind of got our clothing and I followed the spider rule. But I do. I enjoy making Stephanie squeal because I'll pick up spiders with my bare hand and throw it out. And Max and Finn are very. They think it's cool and they love seeing Stephanie squeal. But what creeps me out grosses me out. You know what? I am not great with blood.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I am somebody that will basically pass out if I see blood.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. So I'm. I'm not great in medical emergencies.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I am. I am not great at medical emergencies if there is blood.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I don't have a thing with blood.

[Fortune Feimster]

Really. You can just, like, deal. I get lightheaded. I get faint.

[Tig Notaro]

Interesting.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Cannot do it. I always say, if there was a murder, I didn't do it. I can promise you I did not do it.

[Tig Notaro]

You're like, I promise. Yeah, I hate blood.

[Fortune Feimster]

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

[Tig Notaro]

Like, you know, to check that you've got plenty of sneaky places to tuck yourself away in when you're getting ready to play a big old game of hide and seek.

[Fortune Feimster]

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. Should we hear their answer?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

And my answer is baby corns.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know why.

[Natalie]

They've always creeped me out. They're very flimsy. I think they kind of look like witch fingers. And my friends will text me when there's baby corns in the dining hall and say, watch out there's. Baby corns.

[Fortune Feimster]

Today.

[Tig Notaro]

My answer is bouncy houses. They don't bounce. I just. I really don't like them.

[Natalie]

Thanks, guys. Love the pot and keep it pretty handsome.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my gosh. Those questions could not wait, could they?

[Tig Notaro]

That's so funny.

[Fortune Feimster]

Have you seen those cans of baby corn?

[Tig Notaro]

And they're.

[Fortune Feimster]

And it's called cornholes.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I didn't know they were called cornholes.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, no. Baby cornholes.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, I've seen cans of them, but I didn't know that's what it was called.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes, some cans will say baby cornholes.

[Tig Notaro]

We'll keep them away from them.

[Fortune Feimster]

Huh?

[Tig Notaro]

I love that a bounce house creeps her out.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Just because it doesn't bounce. I've seen those. Bounce house. The bounce houses blow away on YouTube.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wait, why are you calling them bounce house? Aren't they bouncy house?

[Tig Notaro]

Bouncy houses.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, a bounce house.

[Tig Notaro]

Whatever.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, I'm curious. Do you call them bounce house?

[Tig Notaro]

A bounce house? Bouncy house. I think either works.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, for sure, but I've just never heard bounce house. Well, I don't mean to get all, you know, whatevs.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't mean to get whatevs.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. But I just know him as bouncy house.

[Tig Notaro]

I'll keep it in mind.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay, thanks. Should we move on to another question before fortune? I really get into a bad argument.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Balin]

Hi, Tig, May and Fortune. This is Izzy coming to you from up here in Alaska. And my question for you is, what are your top three favorite nuts to eat?

[Fortune Feimster]

Ooh.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow, an Alaska gal. I love Alaska.

[Fortune Feimster]

I do, too. And I love nuts.

[Tig Notaro]

I haven't been in a long time, but it was. I went on a cruise to Alaska, and it was a highlight.

[Fortune Feimster]

With your mother?

[Tig Notaro]

No, this was with the friend's family back in the day.

[Fortune Feimster]

All right.

[Tig Notaro]

Time of my life.

[Fortune Feimster]

Do you enjoy nuts?

[Tig Notaro]

I do. I can name my favorite nuts.

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's hear it.

[Tig Notaro]

Number one. Cashews.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's your. Number one is cashews for nuts?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow. Okay, number two. This is a good old peanut.

[Fortune Feimster]

Cashews over a peanut, for sure. Wow. All right.

[Tig Notaro]

And then number three would be. Pine nut.

[Fortune Feimster]

Pine nut. Do you like a pine nut? Raw or cooked?

[Tig Notaro]

I like it a little. A little seared.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yep.

[Tig Notaro]

On a salad, sear it a little bit and then put it on top of a salad. Love that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Heck, yes. I follow. Not perfectly, but I. I follow a. A diet called the how not to die diet.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

But one of the. The things that they that this diet recommends is one handful of mixed nuts per day.

[Tig Notaro]

Really?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yep. And the nuts that I have. Well, I guess I'm supposed to say the top three of my favorites. I would say probably peanuts would be my number one.

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

And. And then pistachios.

[Tig Notaro]

Those are high up for me as well.

[Fortune Feimster]

Pistachio. Oh, yeah. God, they're good.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then I would say probably after that, walnuts.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. Are you into cashews or.

[Fortune Feimster]

I do. I like cashews, but I'm not in the top three. I was about to say I don't go nuts over them, but in my daily. You know, you're not supposed. This. This diet says you don't have more than a. A palm, a handful of peanuts, or of mixed nuts a day. But I have pecan, walnut, cashew, pistachio, a nice mix of things.

[Tig Notaro]

I love it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I love you, too. Should we hear Izzy's answer?

[Balin]

My top three are almonds, pistachios, and cashews, in that order. Thank you.

All right, let's do it.

[Balin]

Hi, handsome Pod. My name is Balin. I live in Maine, and I'm a huge fan of. The three of you. In near pods are a highlight of my week every week. I'm always laughing, and I think you all are hilarious. My question for you is, do you have something in your life you felt kind of silly buying? Or maybe it was a gift, and you thought it was just, like, kind of ridiculous, but now you're obsessed with it, and you're really into it.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm, like, looking around, like, what do I have in here?

[Fortune Feimster]

I have to say, you know, I got a fanny pack, and I had a little bit of a feeling of, like, am I really getting a fanny pack? And. And I really wore it in a fanny pack way, like, in the. On. On the back of my fanny. But then. And then I'd wear it in the front. And then I. Then I was like, all right, I'll. I'll do the. The cooler thing of, you know, across the shoulder. But, man, now cannot live without a fanny pack.

[Tig Notaro]

Really?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. A lot of people make fun of fanny packs, and now we have a handsome fanny pack. You know, I do know, but I'm not gonna wear a handsome fanny pack.

[Tig Notaro]

I. I would go through the airport with our sweatpants on all the time.

[Fortune Feimster]

Are you serious?

[Tig Notaro]

Swear to God.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

They're the most comfortable sweatpants I own.

[Fortune Feimster]

Also, did Brad Paisley wander off with a handsome fanny pack?

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know. Did he?

[Fortune Feimster]

God, I hope so.

[Tig Notaro]

I think he got some hats, so he might be wearing a little cowboy hat sometime. Funny. I'm trying to think what I bought that I'm looking at this yellow lamp in my office. It's not some and I. It's really bright and bold and doesn't fit any of the decorations and any anywhere in my house, but it sits here on my desk and I love it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hold on. Let's see. Oh, fortune.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, it's this crazy yellow, fun, fun.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yellow lamp and you can't live without that.

[Tig Notaro]

I can't live without it. I can live without it. I just really like it. It's like a bold, bright, fun piece in my room. Yeah, but I don't buy a lot of. I'm not a big stuff gal. I don't buy a lot of things. Same May bought us tap shoes that I hope to have a part of my routine more. I want to Same tap dancing.

[Fortune Feimster]

Me and you both, kid. Me and you both. Let's do it.

[Tig Notaro]

Do it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Should we hear Balin's answer?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Balin]

Mine is an instant espresso machine where you don't have to pull the shots yourself. I mentioned I liked one at a family member's house, and then I received it as a gift for the holidays and now I use it every day.

[Fortune Feimster]

Absolutely.

[Tig Notaro]

That did remind me. I did buy a Breville espresso machine and I use it all the time. It was expensive and I thought, oh, this is really expensive. But it's probably saved me a gazillion dollars on coffee.

[Fortune Feimster]

Wow, that's a lot of money. That's what you do you not go out for coffee. Really? When you're home now, I. I will.

[Tig Notaro]

Here and there, but I usually I save that for the road.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, same.

We talk to people who have broken records on slack lines, suspended by hot air balloons. We're talking to people who have done multiple flips on trampolines. You'll have to tune in to find out how many flips they did.
