[Fortune Feimster]

Boo Goo boo. Goo boo. Do you like pet names? Do you and Stephanie go all Goo Goo Gaga with each other?

[Tig Notaro]

Um, I mean, yeah, we have pet names. We definitely. I mean, do people not. Are people in relationship? Are you not.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, I love a pet name.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because, listen, call me Sweet Cheeks all day long.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay. Call me Garbage Tits all day long.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's quite a pet name. No, I like all that. I like all that sappy stuff.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah. We have numerous names for each other, and in fact, so much so we have pet names. Has this ever happened to you? We have called each other that. Because you know how you're so used to calling somebody a name and then, like, you have friends over and then you accidentally address them Sugar.

[Fortune Feimster]

You accidentally call them Sugar Tits.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, exactly. But it just sounds like their name to you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You know what I mean? But, I mean, are there people just walking around the planet in relationships not calling each other? Like, Thomas, do you and Laura have bookie, bookie, bookie names?

[Thomas Willette]

Yeah, we have a couple like that.

[Tig Notaro]

Of course.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I mean, there's gotta be some couples that don't do that at all, that think it's gross, but I would think, for the most part, love brings that out of you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yeah. So you caught me. We say those names. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

I also wanna give. I also wanna give people a little peek behind the curtain. We had some technical difficulties, and I normally like to groove along with the theme song, but I couldn't hear it in my headphones for some reason. So if you're watching on YouTube, which I know many of you are, you'll see that I don't really know what's going on during the theme song.

[Fortune Feimster]

You're just this. Yeah, I'm just like in your closet.

[Tig Notaro]

Thomas was grooving, though.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, we were both grooving. It's hard not to jam to that song. It's very catchy. It's real good. You did a great job.

[Tig Notaro]

So what's shaken bacon? Yeah, that's vegan. Yeah. What's shaken vegan bacon?

[Fortune Feimster]

Not much. Just living my life. I went to Milwaukee this past weekend.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, as one does when they're living their life where all. You love Milwaukee.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's a beautiful city.

[Tig Notaro]

I love it right there on the water. Here's my prediction. Milwaukee is going to become an explosively cool city one day.

[Fortune Feimster]

I feel like getting cool. I think.

[Tig Notaro]

I know it's already cool. I know it. And the people that know that it's cool are there. But I think in a much bigger. On a much bigger level, people are going to get hip to Milwaukee. In fact, it might be happening because of this episode.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think it's happening because they got some cool places there.

[Tig Notaro]

Really?

[Fortune Feimster]

I went to Summer Fest for a gig. Not stand up, but just was doing some work there.

[Tig Notaro]

Tap dancing.

[Fortune Feimster]

It's got like 600 performers over three weekends. It's pretty, pretty big.

[Tig Notaro]

That's great.

[Fortune Feimster]

Music festival.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that was really cool.

[Fortune Feimster]

And it's by the water and there's some neat, like, restaurants over there. I enjoyed myself.

[Tig Notaro]

Had you been there before?

[Fortune Feimster]

I have been there to do standup, which actually their theater, the Pabst Theater and the Riverside Theater, two of my favorite theaters. And part of that is because the people are great. But the Green Room, especially at the Paps, has all these arcade games and records and it's like such a cool vibe. And they have a barista.

[Tig Notaro]

Mm.

[Fortune Feimster]

A full on coffee situation with a barista in the green room before the show. And that is like my dream come true.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you listening? Other theaters?

[Fortune Feimster]

Mm.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you listening? Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Cause that one, I went, are you kidding me right now? I can get whatever coffee drink I want. They're like, yeah, this is. This is for you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it's. I mean, I really feel like we're gonna be making some Milwaukee folk happy. Talking about their city, their very cool city. And it was the home of Laverne and Shirley, Right?

[Fortune Feimster]

That's right.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

What's. Do you know what was their little song they sang? We know it.

[Tig Notaro]

Thomas, can you look up what their song Was. Yeah, that was a good show.

[Fortune Feimster]

It really stuck with us.

[Tig Notaro]

That was a show I watched.

[Fortune Feimster]

It was a show I saw reruns of more than watched. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Schlamiel Schlamazel Hasan Pfeiffer Incorporated. I don't think I'm doing it right.

[Tig Notaro]

5, 6, 7, 8. Schmiel Schmazel Hasan Incorporated. We're gonna do. I mean, who. I mean, it's such a catchy song, but who on earth wrote this thinking this is the theme song for this show? I feel like if this would turn was. If this was turned in these days, they would be like, I'm sorry. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Shamil Shamazel. Like, what is Enough Incorporated. Yeah, we're gonna do it. Give us any chance, we'll take it. Read us any rule, we'll break it. See that part, the beginning part doesn't read like it's going to be a hit song. Yeah, you can agree.

[Fortune Feimster]

I can totally agree. That does not scream hit to me.

[Tig Notaro]

And the hit part again is we're going to do it. Give us any chance, we'll take it. Read us any rule, we'll break it. We're going to make our dreams come true. Doing it our way. Nothing's going to turn us. And then that, I feel like is where a producer might say, and I'm sorry, it ends there. Nothing's gonna turn us. Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, wow, we really broke this down.

[Tig Notaro]

Look, this is the Milwaukee episode, like it or not. Should we go to questions?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yes, we should, from our listeners before.

[Tig Notaro]

We get too many people moving to Milwaukee and taking our little cute condo on the river. Because we're gonna live there. Sugar Bug.

[Fortune Feimster]

Sugar Boo Boo.

[Tig Notaro]

Sugar what?

[Fortune Feimster]

Sugar Boo Boo.

[Tig Notaro]

Sugar Boo Boo, that's me.

[Amy]

Hi, handsomes. This is Amy coming to you from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Love you. Love the pod. My question is, what is one of your frivolous regrets? I'm not talking about a serious one. Not talking about anything life changing, just something inconsequential that still haunts you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Hmm. A frivolous regret. Do you think of, like, purchases when you hear that or like an action?

[Tig Notaro]

You know, I'm just now thinking about this for the first time in my life fortune. I don't know how or what I feel.

[Fortune Feimster]

This doesn't really feel that frivolous, but I guess I think of a regret that's really not that big of a deal. I guess I had a late cash.

[Tig Notaro]

Which would make it frivolous, right? Yeah, I guess.

[Fortune Feimster]

So I had a lake house in my hometown. And it was something I'd always wanted growing up. Like, we did not have a lot of money and anyone who lived on the lake, I just thought like, oh, my God, they have made it. What a life they have. And I got an opportunity to buy a place on the lake. And in a lot of ways, it made since that I ended up selling it. But sometimes I regret that and sometimes I wish I still had it. Especially now that my mom's going through what she's going through. I would actually really love to have a place in my hometown to be able to go back there more easily.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you stay with your mother?

[Fortune Feimster]

No, she. She is in a little apartment. And so I just stay at the local. One of the local. Little like Hampton Inn or Best Western, you know, whatever those are.

[Tig Notaro]

What room number. And we could put something in there changes.

[Fortune Feimster]

But it. Which is fine. But it would just be so much easier now having a place it. But it was a lot of upkeep, you know, not living there. Any house on the water requires more maintenance. So I understood why we sold it. But there are some regrets there at times. But it's also like, not a big deal. It's like, whatever, we did it, it's done. But I think about that sometimes.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Yep, I can see that. Okay. Stephanie and I adopted two cats in the pandemic. I wish I had snuck a third one in there. Because here's the thing is we have three cats and then four people in our family, and we really want an orange kitty to round out the crew. And we're all. Me and Max and Finn have all been asking for an orange kitty. And Stephanie's like, guys, she's put her foot down. Yeah, she put her paw down. And she's like, guys, I really feel like we have enough kitties.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, I mean, I guess if you're getting two, sneaking a third one in there would have been the time.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Yeah, that was the time. Because I just torture myself when I go by little adoption places. I'm like, don't look. Don't you look.

[Fortune Feimster]

Don't you really love those kitties?

[Tig Notaro]

I do, but I love dogs too. I mean, listen, we have our little dream dogs in our family that we all talk about. Stephanie wants a golden retriever. Finn wants a corgi. Max wants a long haired wiener dog. And I would like an Australian sheepdog.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, okay. You just want a whole barn.

[Tig Notaro]

We do. We do.

[Fortune Feimster]

All right. I could see that for you one of these days. Yeah, one of These days in time.

[Tig Notaro]

So that's a frivolous regret that I didn't just throw another kitty in there.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. All right.

[Tig Notaro]

I know it's my last chance.

[Fortune Feimster]

Well, let's hear what Amy's answer is.

[Tig Notaro]

It's going to be good. I get. I know it.

[Amy]

My frivolous regret is that when I was on maternity leave with my second child, the museum in town was hiring someone to be in a realistic dinosaur costume to perform at these exhibitions at the museum. And I was the right height for it because you needed to be a specific size. And I really wanted to, but I didn't go for it. And when I went and saw the show and saw that person in the dinosaur costume, I was so jealous. That is all I wanted to do. That's my frivolous regret. Can't wait to hear yours.

[Tig Notaro]

Bye.

[Fortune Feimster]

Bye. That's a good one.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Very different from selling a lake house, though.

[Fortune Feimster]

I know mine wasn't as frivolous. I just couldn't think of anything.

[May Martin]

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

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, you know, to check that you pack a lunch if you're going to be out running errands all day or stop at your favorite sandwich spot along the way and have a little time to yourself.

[May 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]

Mine was more of a, I guess, bigger life regret, but at the end of the day, who cares?

[Tig Notaro]

Did you ever learn how to break dance?

[Fortune Feimster]

No, but I really wanted to.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay, there you go.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah, that is a regret for sure. Yeah, there are certain regrets like that. Like I never learned to skateboard. Now I'm too afraid. I am a responsible adult who doesn't want to break bones. Yeah, but it's when you're young, when you got to learn to that kind of stuff, when you have no fear.

[Tig Notaro]

Absolutely.

[Fortune Feimster]

So, yeah, break dancing would have been a nice one because I grew up on those break dancing movies. You remember those in the 80s I didn't watch?

[Tig Notaro]

I was like. I think. I think the last movie I watched around that time was Urban Cowboy. And then I was out, you know?

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Any hoodles, Mr. Thomas? What else you got for us?

[Ella]

Hi, handsomes. This is Ella and her one year old son Levon, calling in. We live in North Carolina and love you so much. You make me Laugh a lot. And I know one day you'll make Levon laugh also. My question is, if you had to put a bumper sticker on your car, which bumper sticker would you put on and why? Or if you already have a bumper sticker on your car, what does it say and why is it there? May, I know you don't drive, so this is hypothetical, but you get the picture.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's why we're leaving May out of this one. Cuz May does not drive and cannot answer this.

[Tig Notaro]

Sorry, we're mad at May. We are so mad.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm not a big bumper sticker on the car kind of gal, but so it in real life, I'm not going to put any bumper sticker on my car, but I did see one bumper sticker that someone had and it has stuck with me for years. And I guess if I had to put a sticker on my car, it would be this. And it just said fart gas.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, what does that mean?

[Fortune Feimster]

I don't know. It just said fart gas.

[Tig Notaro]

And you would put that on your car for Fortune. Fortune. Marie, look at me and tell me you would put that on your car.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because it makes no sense. And it's funny.

[Tig Notaro]

That is the very last bumper sticker I would ever put on my car.

[Fortune Feimster]

And I even took a picture of the car and I still have it in my phone. That's how much it stuck with me.

[Tig Notaro]

My friend Megan, who is a handsome listener. Hello, Megan. Her father is in his 80s and he is. He, like this guy lives life. He plays pickleball obsessively. Yeah, he's scuba diving, searching for treasure and like. Yeah. Ships that have. What is it?

[Fortune Feimster]

Sunk.

[Tig Notaro]

Sunk. Thank you. Oh, my God. Shipwrecks. Wow. What is it called? Sunk.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's right.

[Tig Notaro]

Anyway, he is very sensitive about getting older because he just. I mean, this guy does not stop. Last time I was at his house, Joe brings me up to his second story, wanting to show me all of his new cameras. You know, I mean, this is a guy that is not packing up in life. You know what I mean? He has lighting packages, he's got cameras and movie cameras and ipod. Or ipods, tripods, whatever. Why am I talking about him? I don't know.

[Fortune Feimster]

We were going from bumper stickers to him.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, does he have a mot? One time put a bumper sticker on the back of his car that said, be patient, elderly driver.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's funny.

[Tig Notaro]

So funny if you knew Joe. But anyway, it's funny that this question came up because not only did it give me a chance to talk about Joe. But just yesterday, me, Stephanie, Max, and Finn were walking down the sidewalk and saw this car full of bumper stickers. Not just on the bumper, but on the windows, like the side windows. And every bumper sticker said the F word in it.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh.

[Tig Notaro]

And so it was parked on the side of the street, parallel parked. And we were all laughing, just walking around the car, reading the different F word bumper stickers. And we were like, come here, look at this one. And then there's also, you know, given the finger. And it was such a funny decision this person had made.

[Fortune Feimster]

They doubled down.

[Tig Notaro]

Right. I think I'd go with fart gas.

[Fortune Feimster]

No, you wouldn't. It was on an electric vehicle. That's why I think it said fart gas. I don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, okay. I would go with probably something as basic as, like, the pretenders. Okay. You know? Yeah. Just keeping it simple. Yeah. Or I could see myself. I've seen this bumper sticker a million times. Who knew that I had so much to say about this? I know I've seen this bumper sticker a million times, and it's terribly dorky, but I think I would just go ahead and get it for myself and do it upside down like a lot of people do.

[Fortune Feimster]

A pineapple.

[Tig Notaro]

No. What is it?

[Fortune Feimster]

You're a swinger now.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm a swinger now.

[Fortune Feimster]

That's what an upside down pineapple is.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I think I remember that. No, I'm not a swinger.

[Fortune Feimster]

I know that.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, Pobody's nerficed.

[Fortune Feimster]

What? Say it again.

[Tig Notaro]

Po Buddy's nerfic.

[Fortune Feimster]

I like that.

[Tig Notaro]

That's so dumb.

[Fortune Feimster]

Po Buddy's nerfic.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Or maybe I just fill my car with just F. I don't even have a car. Stephanie has a car. I don't have a car.

[Fortune Feimster]

I think you guys should have the. The ones with the outline, like the stick figures of each of you and. And for all of you and Mexafin and the three kitties.

[Tig Notaro]

And then throw an orange kitty.

[Fortune Feimster]

Huh?

[Tig Notaro]

And then put you. And put pookie bear over you.

[Fortune Feimster]

Dumpster dids over.

[Tig Notaro]

Over me.

[Fortune Feimster]

I want to see that on the elves car. My mom had a. My mom loves stickers on a car.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, what does she have?

[Fortune Feimster]

But the problem is she puts them on, like, crooked and stuff, so she's not very precise.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

So then it just looks like wonky. She had on her old car an Obama sticker. And being in the south, she got a lot of dirty looks from people.

[Tig Notaro]

Did she also Yell out, my daughter's gay. She does she like me now?

[Fortune Feimster]

She. She didn't she get the dirtiest looks. And she did not sweat it at all. She's loud and proud of her being a Democrat.

[Tig Notaro]

Man. I remember unrelated to politics or anything, if people upset my mother when she was driving, she gave them the bird. And I would be like, stop. She'd just be like. I was like, oh, God, it's mortified. Anyway, let us hear Ella's answer.

[Ella]

If I had to put a bumper sticker on my car, speaking to three comedians, I want to be clever and cheeky, but in all honesty, I would have a bumper sticker that said, I wish you well. Because could you imagine if we were in a world where we were all. Well, it would look really different from the world we're in now, I think. And, you know, we don't need road any more road rage than already exists out there. So I wish you all well, and thanks for doing what you do. Keep up the good work.

[Fortune Feimster]

Nice. Like a positive message. That could also be on a engraved license plate.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. But I was also thinking, if Ella gets rear ended, she would not wish them well. Well, no, I would be. If I rear ended Ella and I was slamming into a bumper sticker that said, I wish you well, I would not be very scared to go and say, my apologies. I was looking for something under my seat, and I slammed into you. And I thank you for wishing me well.

[Fortune Feimster]

It makes me think of Gwyneth Paltrow. She got sued by a guy on a ski mountain.

[Tig Notaro]

That is one of Stephanie's greatest obsessions in life.

[Fortune Feimster]

Oh, my God, that trial was unbelievable.

[Tig Notaro]

Stephanie followed that.

[Fortune Feimster]

Yeah. And they found the guy, like, you know, he said he had all these ailments, and they found all these pictures of him just, like, traveling and living his best life. So she sued him, you know, counter sued him for a dollar because he sued her for running into him.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

And she the biggest F you. But like this, with a smile on her face. I wish you well. Everyone was like, oh.

[Tig Notaro]

Because she didn't.

[Fortune Feimster]

Because she didn't. So, yeah, I could have. It could be sincere. It could not be. Depends on the person reading it, their take of it.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Yes. I feel like anyone reading Gwyneth's face in that moment, probably I didn't see it. But the way you're describing, doesn't seem like she was.

[Fortune Feimster]

But anyway, yeah, it was more like, good try, buddy.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feimster]

I wish you well.

[Tig Notaro]

I wish you well.

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm gonna take my dollar and waste of my time and get out of here. Well, what a fun prelo episode. I like these questions.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. I always, I can't, I love getting these. I can't wait to hear what they have to ask us because it's always interesting and well thought out, you know, because. Not that our, our guests don't have great questions, but our listeners are really thinking about questions for a while because they listen to this show, you know, so. And they know what's been asked and what hasn't. And so it's just, it's really fun.

[Fortune Feimster]

Such a treat.

[Tig Notaro]

So, Fortune, what do you, what do you have going on?

[Fortune Feimster]

I'm going to Iceland, doing a show in Reykjavik here in a week and then just starting back on my tour with like Boston and Chicago and Salt Lake City and Atlanta, Norfolk, all those places.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, I've got some shows, Fortune.

[Fortune Feimster]

Cool.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I'm gonna be at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts center in West Hampton Beach, New York on August 17, Provincetown Town hall in P Town, Massachusetts, August 23. And then I'll be in Los Angeles working out some new material at Dynasty typewriter September 21st. But I feel like I don't know. Our work here is done. And until next time, keep it pretty.

[Fortune Feimster]

What a podcast. Podcast. What a podcast.

[Tig Notaro]

That was a headgum podcast.

[Thomas Willette]

Hey, I'm Gareth Reynolds and I have a new podcast on Head gum called Next. We have now this show is for people with short attention spans, which is everyone. I mean, you're probably trying to skip this ad right now, but don't because you now legally have to listen to the show. That's how law works. Next we have is very simple. Each episode has three short segments. For instance, Lisa Gilroy and I write in insane revenge Yelp reviews for callers who had bad experiences with a business. The Doughboys play a game called Meal or no Meal. And Steph, Tola and I go head to head on a thought provoking game called Guess that sound. The show is as dumb as it sounds and we probably have more fun than we should, but it's a great time and you should listen or watch new episodes of Next. We have every Thursday on YouTube or your favorite podcast. Apparently.
