[Fortune Feimster]

Pretty little episode. Welcome to the handsome pods. Pre little episode. I'm Fortune.

[Tig Notaro]

You sure are. And you know what? I'm Tig Notaro.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes, you are, my friend.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, my friend. Those are our names.

[Fortune Feimster]

Friends, my friends.

[Tig Notaro]

My friends. These are our names.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's good to see you.

[Tig Notaro]

Good to see you.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm chilling here, and I just got back from visiting North Carolina. I went to my first NASCAR race.

[Tig Notaro]

How do you end up at a NASCAR race? That does sound fun.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, I was curious. I'd never gone. And Bert Kreischer was. His wife was on a. Sat on a plane beside me on the way home to visit, and she was like, they're. They were doing a thing in Charlotte, and my family was going to be gone at that point, and I was like, why not? Let me just check that out.

[Tig Notaro]

That's awesome. And so would you go again? And what is it like? And tell us about the clientele.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love people watching. That was pretty exciting.

[Tig Notaro]

Sure.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. It's like a big festival kind of outside before it starts. I would go again, but I only stayed for, like, the first hundred laps. It's 400 laps.

[Tig Notaro]

That's a lot of laps.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's a lot of laps.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune, I'm with you. That's a lot of laps.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I don't. I'm not invested enough to stay the whole time, but I got to go down on the track. And that was pretty cool for it being. Having never gone. And so I. I met a couple drivers. They, like, hang out, like, on the track before the race and, like, shake people's hands and stuff. Like a parade.

[Tig Notaro]

I thought you're gonna say, have beers and stuff.

[Fortune Feimster]

That would. That would be on brand, but I didn't know that happened. And so we just were down there chatting with the guys. And you're like, well, where they come into pit for the pit stops or whatever.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And then when the race is about to start, they're like, get out of here. It's time. But then I. But then I got to watch in the, like, area right behind the pit people. So I'm, like, on the track watching these freaking cars go a gazillion miles an hour.

[Tig Notaro]

Now, this happens at the same time that the Indy 500 happens, I guess because the Indy 500 was on the other day and both were watching that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Yeah. Do those guys. I don't know enough about that. Did they compete in both the things you spoke about it.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, I have never seen the Indy 500 on my TV as an adult or a child. I was surprised that it was on our TV when I walked into the room.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I thought. I don't know. What. I thought it was Indy 500. I don't know. Is it that they go around 500 times?

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, I don't know. Really? You mean more than 400?

[Tig Notaro]

That's a lot. A lot. It's so much.

[Fortune Feimster]

Zoom in around. You cannot watch it without earplugs. I mean, I guess you could, but you shouldn't.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, don't do that.

[Fortune Feimster]

We did one of the drivers we met, his name was Bush. So I was a fan.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune, Marie.

[Fortune Feimster]

I. I was immediately on board Bush with a ch.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's the fancy spelling of it. But, yeah, it was a. An adventure some. You know, I'm open to doing just whatever. Like, let's just have fun.

[Tig Notaro]

I know you are, girl. Yeah, I know you are. My window is closing in life where I'm open to whatever.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

You know, I feel like I'm. I'm a little too into my. Get in bed by nine, have my routine and.

[Fortune Feimster]

But you were open for a while. I was very open.

[Tig Notaro]

That's what I thought.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I did a lot of things a lot of places. And I. I always tell Stephanie if there's some terrible tragedy or we lose me a little early. I don't want to. I don't want to go.

[Fortune Feimster]

We don't. We don't want that either.

[Tig Notaro]

No. But I have done everything I've ever wanted to do, plus more. And no one feels sad. I mean, and that's kind of a good place to be where it's like, you know, it's. Yeah, it's. I got Stephanie and my little cubs, and I got Handsome, and what else do I need?

[Fortune Feimster]

You know, I still wanna. I. There's still some things I need to do. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

There's things that I'm happy to do and I'd like to do, but if they don't happen, no one should feel sorry for me, you know?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. You've lived it up. I'm glad to hear that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I'm glad to say it. And I've cheated death many times, and so I'm really. This is all just bonus, bonus, bonus.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're the. You're living the cherry on top right now.

[Tig Notaro]

I really am. I just want to be happy, safe, healthy.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

All those things. And. And I look back on. On my life going, man, I'm glad I did that. And. Ooh, that was a bit of a risk.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. So I think when you cheat death a couple of times, you appreciate everything a bit more, don't you think?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. It's cute that you think it was only a couple, but.

[Fortune Feimster]

How many? Eight. Eight times.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know. Thomas has sat with me at my. My bedside.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. But.

[Tig Notaro]

But yeah, it's. It's been. It's. It's. But whatever.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's.

[Tig Notaro]

It's a good feeling. It's a good feeling to. To know I've taken risks. I've. I've traveled all over. I've done all of those things.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love that.

[Tig Notaro]

And, yes, there are so many things that I could still do or I think do, and I will do, or I might not. But I don't have that feeling of, oh, I. I haven't. I gotta. I want. You know, I think the main thing is I just wanna. I wanna see Max and Finn grow up. Absolutely. That's really what I want in life.

[Fortune Feimster]

I love that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. So that's why I'm trying to take care of myself, so I can see who grows a mustache and who doesn't, you know? So it might be me.

[Fortune Feimster]

It might be.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. All of us.

[Fortune Feimster]

We already know what you look like with one very handsome.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Well, thank you. I was waiting for you to say that. I don't think I've seen you with a mustache. You haven't done the fake mustache thing, have you?

[Fortune Feimster]

No, I. I felt like it would turn you guys on too much.

[Tig Notaro]

That's interesting.

[Fortune Feimster]

But I will. Don't you worry.

[Tig Notaro]

You're gonna sneak up and. You know, I love one of those, like, handlebar. Yeah, but I'm always confused. I thought handlebar was, like, where you, like, twist little ends.

[Fortune Feimster]

Is that. What is that the.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I see what I. I know what you mean. You have to talk like this and.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, I don't know. I thought handlebar was this. But maybe not.

[Tig Notaro]

No, I think it is. Because anytime I go with my fingers on my face, people like, oh, you like a handlebar, but the twisty one.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know what that's called, but.

[Tig Notaro]

Doesn'T it seem like it helps you think when you twist the mustache hair?

[Fortune Feimster]

For sure.

[Tig Notaro]

And what is the voice you would put to thinking? Twisting.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, I gotta solve this crime's goofy voice.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Not in life. But, you know, May does the nerdy voice.

[Tig Notaro]

Sure.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

I feel like Thomas is Googling mustache names. That's what he's doing. Because he is. Do you want some mustache information? Any more stupid questions you must ask?

[Fortune Feimster]

You must ask you a question about mustaches.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Those are both handlebar mustache styles. The curly one is called an imperial mustache. And it seems like this one that goes down might be called a walrus. Oh, that makes Cuckoo.

[Fortune Feimster]

What is your kind of mustache called?

[Tig Notaro]

A tea dog? A chevron.

[Fortune Feimster]

A chevron.

[Tig Notaro]

Did you know that about your mustache, Thomas? No, I'm just looking at a diagram of mustache mustaches. And do they have any menopause mustaches? I'm not seeing that on. Those are patchier. What kind of mustache would you have? Fortune.

[Fortune Feimster]

I would do like. Like a thinner, long one.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, like a. What's his name? Waters.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, not that thin, but not a big, thick one.

[Tig Notaro]

What is his name? Waters.

[Fortune Feimster]

John Waters.

[Tig Notaro]

John Waters. Not that.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, that's too thin.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, somewhere.

[Fortune Feimster]

Somewhere in between the chevron.

[Tig Notaro]

The chevron and the waters. What is the. The Waters stash called?

[Fortune Feimster]

A pencil. Pen.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, pencil. Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

How is it I learned something new.

[Tig Notaro]

How is it that we have referenced Jimmy Buffett even once and then twice and then three? I mean, did I tell you my old assistant hosts a Jimmy Buffett?

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, yeah. Told me that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. On Jimmy Buffett's channel.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's funny.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at me. Name dropping. Should we get into our questions?

[Fortune Feimster]

Let's do it, Boo Boo.

[Tig Notaro]

Let's do it.

[Casey]

Hi, handsomes. This is Casey from North Carolina. And my question is inspired by Fortune as Dougie on the TV show Life in Pieces. And I'm wondering, if you were a wrestler, what would your wrestler name be?

[Fortune Feimster]

That's so funny. So there was this show on CBS called Life and Pieces. Really great show with, like, Diane Wiest and James Brolin. And I had a recurring character on there who was an insane person. And I was a former wrestler, and my character's wrestling name was Tackle Box, which is actually a pretty great wrestling day.

[Tig Notaro]

That's really good.

[Fortune Feimster]

So in the episode, they had me in a yellow wrestling outfit, and I drove up on a yellow moped, and it was wild. What would your wrestling name be?

[Tig Notaro]

I think mine would be what my brother used to call me as a Kid or actually, my mother called me this. Tough Tig.

[Fortune Feimster]

I thought you were about to say tough tits, but Tough Tig makes more sense.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. My tits weren't as tough.

[Fortune Feimster]

They really let you down.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Not only did they get sickly, but they got cut off. Like there was no fighting back.

[Fortune Feimster]

No. They're just out of there.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. My mother called me Tough Tig.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You know, because I was a little rough and tumble. Scrappy Huckleberry Tig and. And then my brother. Everybody called me that, so it seems like Tough Tig might.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's a good one.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. T.T.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Tough Tig.

[Tig Notaro]

You wouldn't want to wrestle Tough Tig.

[Fortune Feimster]

Tough T.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mae Martin]

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 a highlighter and some sticky notes handy when you reread your favorite book. It's always fun to mark up a book so you can go back and see what you wrote later.

[Mae Martin]

Check in 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.

[Fortune Feimster]

Look. Look at. Look at what treading's doing.

[Tig Notaro]

Whoa.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're on YouTube right now.

[Tig Notaro]

If you're not good on over there, that's really good fortune.

[Fortune Feimster]

Thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

When is the last time you had muscle definition to that scary degree?

[Fortune Feimster]

It's.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know if I've ever had any muscle definition, but. Yeah, just for those audio listeners, I just showed Tig your guns. Muscle in my arm.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you enjoying having that?

[Fortune Feimster]

I love it. Great. I'm trying not to be so out of shape.

[Tig Notaro]

You are looking sharp. Always look sharp. But I mean, these guns that you are flashing every other episode are. Oh, now, you are a pretty little lady, aren't you? Yes, you are.

[Fortune Feimster]

I like to be handsome and a pretty little lady.

[Tig Notaro]

Me, too.

[Fortune Feimster]

I like to. I like to swing back and forth.

[Tig Notaro]

I haven't seen pretty little lady in any photos in a while of me. No, that's where it came from, is that. I don't know if you remember this, but when I would look at picture, every now and then, there's a picture taken of me. It's usually when I have makeup on.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's right.

[Tig Notaro]

Where a pretty little lady appears. That's right. I said that to Stephanie once. I said, I feel like I look like a pretty Little lady.

[Fortune Feimster]

And we have, like, a little lipstick and stuff. Popping.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Something when I'm filming something or, you know, I'm rarely in makeup, if that's surprising to hear.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, hopefully, pretty little Lady Tig will pop out soon.

[Tig Notaro]

Don't you like me how I am?

[Fortune Feimster]

I do.

[Tig Notaro]

Thanks.

[Fortune Feimster]

If I had to come up with a net, why do I have to involve the name Fortune? It would have to be, like, the fortune cookie or something like that, you know?

[Tig Notaro]

What about Tough Fortune?

[Fortune Feimster]

A fortune. Formidable fortune.

[Tig Notaro]

Freaky fortune.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Miss Misfortune. Misfortune. That would be good.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Miz. Just like there's another wrestler with an M I Z. Misfortune.

[Tig Notaro]

I like it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay, well, our wrestling careers are right.

[Tig Notaro]

Let's hear what Casey's answer is.

[Casey]

My answer is I think I would use the name the Puzzler because we use a puzzle piece as the symbol for autism awareness. And I feel that as someone on the spectrum, my true gift may not be physical, but may be more in the realm of just confusing people and making them feel puzzled. So that is my wrestler name, and I can't wait to hear all of yours. Love the podcast. Thanks for doing it. Bye.

[Fortune Feimster]

Nice.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. The Puzzler. I can't believe we heard directly from the Puzzler.

[Fortune Feimster]

A star in the making.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah. The Puzzler versus Tough Tig. The Puzzler versus Misfortune. What do you. Do you think you could beat the Puzzler?

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know. The Puzzler sounds like they're using their brain, not just their physical fitness. So I could be outsmarted by the Puzzler.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

On to our next one.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Let's do it. Hey, Fortune. May and T, it's Abby in New Hampshire. My question for you is, what's a.

[Fortune Feimster]

Compliment that you receive?

[Tig Notaro]

That is not true at all.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's not true at all. I didn't see that twist coming.

[Tig Notaro]

That is not true. I feel like. And I've talked about this. I know before, but every now and then, I get. I get called nice. And I do think I'm nice, but I don't feel like I lead with it. So I don't know if this is the right answer, because I do think I'm a nice person.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm just not, like, bubbly, like, sugary. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm not that kind of nice. I'm.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm a big heart, though.

[Tig Notaro]

I do. I do.

[Fortune Feimster]

And you show you you'll show up for people when they need you, but you're not like, hello, dear.

[Tig Notaro]

No, no.

[Fortune Feimster]

That kind of thing.

[Tig Notaro]

No. And I always say people aren't going to describe me as like, oh, my God, Tig is so nice. Yeah. But I am.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I got called nice at a friend's house a few nights ago, and I was like, is that true? Am I nice? And they're like, well, I mean, you are, but. And then we got into that about everybody. Like, are you nice? Is it good to be nice? Is it right? I don't know. What is your feeling about nice?

[Fortune Feimster]

I totally understand exactly what you're saying.

[Tig Notaro]

About what?

[Fortune Feimster]

About the difference of, like, somebody that a person that's just like. Is that kind of like. Like, never met a stranger, very open, like, oh, honey, that is like, you know.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

You just. They're just so sugary sweet.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And. And then. But you lead in a different way. You're like, hey, what's up?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. That's not the only version of nice.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, exactly.

[Tig Notaro]

There's so many different versions of nice.

[Fortune Feimster]

I see what you mean. I'm trying to think of a compliment. I mean, usually if someone's saying a compliment, I just take it to be sincere and I just go, thank you.

[Tig Notaro]

It is an interesting question. I mean, our. Our listeners do send in very interesting questions. It's. I.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because here's the thing. I think that if someone were to say something like that to me, instead of me thinking that, to say, what if they were to compliment me on something.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And instead of. I don't think my brain would go, that's not true. I think I would think, do they. Maybe they see something I hadn't thought of, or maybe they see something I don't see in myself and like, oh, that's cool. But I don't know that I'm going, that's false. Does that make sense?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Which brings me to the thought of when you. When you have a not great show, and I know that's happened for me, where afterwards people are like, that was so funny. And I know that's not true. I know the show did not go well.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm sure I have, like, you know, like, every woman in the world. I have some. Like, if someone tells me I'm pretty, I'm just like, ah. Like, I don't. That just doesn't really resonate with me. I don't think I'm ugly, but I'm.

[Tig Notaro]

Not like, yeah, well, you know, you're an attractive person, I think.

[Fortune Feimster]

But it's encompassing many different things and just like a physical thing.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I mean that for the. I would say most people.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I Mean, there are some people where it's solely physical, but then it makes them not attractive.

[Fortune Feimster]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

Because it's only physical.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. I guess that probably doesn't resonate with me as much, maybe, than, like, someone telling me I'm funny. I'm like, oh, thanks.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. So it's hard to take pretty little lady.

[Fortune Feimster]

Pretty little lady I can somehow take because it's silly.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's weird. Does Zobi have an answer?

[Tig Notaro]

I bet. So for me, I have been told that I'm unflappable, like, calm in a crisis, which is great, that that's what.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm projecting, but 100% not true.

[Tig Notaro]

I am freaking out. All right, well, talk to you later.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's a good one.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. Like, you.

[Tig Notaro]

You.

[Fortune Feimster]

Someone put out that air of having it together in a crisis, but you're like, no, no, I'm the one running for cover, Struggling. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

How are you? Are you unflapped? You feel unflappable?

[Fortune Feimster]

I joke that I'm, like, not butch because I'm not, like, you know, same season, typical in that way. But I. I would think in a real jam, I would step up and. And figure out the crisis.

[Tig Notaro]

Same. Unless there's blood.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. I'll be unconscious. Yeah, yeah. I'll faint. I'm done. I don't give.

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't get squeamish about that.

[Tig Notaro]

Stephanie has to step up in those moments. I'm like, oh, God. Oh, yeah. I have to lie down. Oh, God.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I think, too, like, you don't really know how you'd be in a situation, you know, if in a real mess. This is like, I. I had a show at a comedy club years ago, and they. I was in the green room, and people started flooding down the hall, and I was like. And they look. I've never seen the look of fear on people's faces. The way I saw when they came around the corner and there was an. They. They. They saw an active shooter.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, God.

[Fortune Feimster]

And, you know, you hear about this awful stuff, and you don't know how. How it will be. And they were coming to basically, like, a dead end. And I'm like, you have to, like, go this way through the kitchen. Like, don't, you know, don't get in a dead end. And it was, like, eerily quiet. Everyone had, like, scattered and hidden. And I just remember, like, just kind of, like, walking around the corner trying to look. And, like, I was kind of surprised that I wasn't running away. I was just, like, trying to find where the trouble was and I'm like, it ended up being like a knife thing in a movie theater and someone yelled gun. So ended up, thank God, being a non thing. But the way it scared people was so jarring. And I'll never forget the look on people's faces. But I don't know if if there was real trouble, I, you know, you should run for sure. But I was like, what am I doing? Yeah, going towards whatever might there. I'm not gonna know how to fix something around the house, but if you're in a pickle, I'll I got you, boo.
