Overview

In this lively and warm episode of Handsome, comedians Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin ring in 2026 with their signature blend of ribbing, sincerity, and absurdity. Will Arnett drops in (virtually!) to ask: If you had to live in a sitcom, which would it be? The trio reflects on new year moods, community activism, TV nostalgia, iconic sitcoms, psychic experiences, riddle-of-life musings, and many, many caftan jokes. Threaded throughout are their affectionate roastings, updates on their comedy tours, and the joy (with a dash of chaos) that has made their podcast a fan favorite.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The New Year, Hope, and Personal Growth

• The hosts kick off by joking about “south Detroit” in Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believin’," which doesn’t exist—a quick detour into rock ‘n’ roll geography (02:09).
• Fortune reflects on feeling more grounded and hopeful compared to “the nightmare” that was last year (03:35).
• Tig credits Fortune for her resilience, sharing how listeners find inspiration in her journey (03:55).
• Discussion of evolving routines, especially sleep, with Fortune waking up earlier and all trading thoughts on sleep hygiene (04:20).

2. TV Binging and Sexuality in Pop Culture

• Fortune confesses to binging "Heated Rivalry," a hot HBO show about closeted gay hockey players, and how its portrayal is unique in media (04:54):
  • “It's got all the gays and all the girls in a chokehold because it's hot. It's hot.” – Fortune (05:04)
• Mae and Tig debate what makes such shows stand out in queer representation—it's not just sex, it's tenderness too (05:26).

3. Volunteerism and Community Care

• Mae shares about volunteering with LA nonprofit Food on Foot, emphasizing the good that small, local actions can do against the overwhelming tide of bad news (09:52).
  • “If everyone in their small Town... supported their local LGBT center, called their representatives, whatever... it would make a huge difference.” – Mae (10:17)
• Tig describes her family’s regular food drop-offs with Hangout Do Good, for those who want to help but have little time (11:50).
• Mae is charmed by an unhoused person’s compliment:
  • “Did you forget how beautiful you are?” (13:12)

4. Listener Gifts and Soap Comedy

• Fortune shares a sweet listener gift—handmade soap—which launches a tangent about nut allergies and dating etiquette. Mae considers (and rejects) gifting soap on a first date:
  • “I'm not gonna give it to someone on a first date.” – Mae (15:23)

5. Touring, Trans Issues, and Texas

• Mae expresses anxiety about new anti-trans laws in Texas impacting her upcoming tour, vowing to persevere so audiences in those towns still get queer visibility (20:38):
  • “I guess I'll just pee on the bus.” – Mae (21:09)
• The hosts banter about the prospect of moving to Canada and living together in literal wagons (21:44).

6. Psychic Experiences and the “Riddle of Life”

• Mae recounts visits to a Toronto psychic, who had eerily accurate readings and even a trippy face-melting moment:
  • “I look into her eye... I see her face change... like, became an old woman’s face... I’ve never had an experience like this when I’m not on psychedelics.” – Mae (28:25)
• Tig and Fortune crack up and debate what it means as Mae ponders “reality is not what we think it is.”

7. The Main Question: Living in a Sitcom (Will Arnett’s Question, 33:02)

Question: If you had to live in a sitcom, which would it be?

Fortune: Golden Girls

• Dreamed of living in a house of sassy friends eating cheesecake in caftans (33:12).
  • “It is my dream to one day just end up in a house when I’m older with my friends eating cheesecake and wearing caftans.” – Fortune (35:10)
• Explains the show’s queer appeal, strong writing, and lifelong obsession.
• The trio debates which characters they’d be, with much teasing about grumpiness, caftans, and Bea Arthur’s mustache (40:52).

Mae: Friends

• Drawn more to the cast vibes than the show’s premise itself; always wanted to be Matthew Perry’s Chandler.
  • “I think I want to be on Friends. I think I wanted to be Matthew Perry so bad...” – Mae (42:38)
• Loves shows where friendships are central and “penthouse apartments in New York” don’t hurt either.

Tig: Good Times

• Announces age “reveal” and delights in 70s sitcoms that balanced heart and drama.
  • “This family living in the projects, you know, and the comedy was there, but, like, the drama was so there.” – Tig (43:36)
• Cites the emotional gravity and classic theme songs of shows like Good Times and The Jeffersons (44:41, 46:01).

Honorable Mentions

• Cheers (especially by Will Arnett, whose answer is simply: “Cheers.” 53:10)
• Designing Women, Arrested Development, Sanford and Son.
• The discussion includes lots of nostalgia for silly, zany comedies and earnest “very special episodes.”

8. Community Dynamics & Podcast Joy

• The hosts debunk rumors about fights and drama, poking fun at podcast gossip on Reddit (58:24 onwards).
  • “The joy I feel in my heart walking into this room... is immeasurable.” – Tig (59:43)
• Heartfelt closing as they joke about their “stacked fingers” and read out tour dates and fan milestones (“over 50 million downloads!”).

Notable Quotes & Moments

  “You dug through all things, my friend.” – Tig to Fortune (03:51)

  “Carl Jung said, Life begins at 40. Everything up until then is just research.” – Mae (08:13)

• On community action:
  “If everyone did [something for their local community], the massive change would be crazy.” – Mae (10:17)

• On sitcom fantasy:
  “As an adult you can just eat cheesecake whenever you want?” – Fortune (39:57)
  “Wait, you can?” – Tig (39:51)

There's no part of Detroit called South Detroit.

[May Martin]

Really? Wait, but south is a universal direction. No, for sure. But there's no, like, area.

[Tig Notaro]

There's no area of Detroit called South Detroit. That's a little rock and roll trivia for you.

[Fortune Feemster]

Okay.

[May Martin]

Does that keep you up at night?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And you never have to be fair.

[Fortune Feemster]

No, never have.

[May Martin]

And we never have as a species.

[Fortune Feemster]

Well, I will say, in comparison to the beginning of last year is much better.

[May Martin]

Like, you're more settled. Last year, everything was up in the air. This year, at least, you know, this.

[Fortune Feemster]

Time last year was a nightmare.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

So now I feel much more grounded.

[Tig Notaro]

You made it through hell.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And I know there's still tough days ahead.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But my God, do I give you ongoing credit for the hell?

[Fortune Feemster]

You dug through all things, my friend.

[Tig Notaro]

Truly.

[May Martin]

And really, so many people, like, when I do shows and stuff, people probably tell you, like, if they're going through hard stuff and then they listen to the pod and they're like, your resilience is very inspiring. Fortune.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh.

[May Martin]

Anyway, good night, everyone.

[Fortune Feemster]

Good night.

[Tig Notaro]

Going to sleep. Good night. We were just talking about. Well, you were just saying, how have you been sleeping? And I thought you were, like, saying good night, like you were gonna lie down.

[May Martin]

Have you been sleeping well, though?

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, I think I've been sleeping fine. I. I have been waking up earlier than I used to in general.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, how much earlier?

[Fortune Feemster]

Like, I used to be a person that slept till like 9. 9:30.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Super easily. And now I'm averaging around 7. 7:30.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Wow.

[Fortune Feemster]

Do you like, Naturally. I don't mind it.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you going to bed earlier?

[Fortune Feemster]

I'm trying to, yeah. Although I did stay up and I got sucked into a show that has been capturing the hearts of girls and gays everywhere.

[May Martin]

Is it the hockey gay one?

[Fortune Feemster]

It is indeed, my friend.

[May Martin]

I need to watch it.

[Fortune Feemster]

It is called heated rivalry and it is on hbo.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

And it's got all the gays and all the girls in a chokehold because it's hot. It's hot.

[May Martin]

Gay hockey players, gay, hot. Having hot gay sex.

[Fortune Feemster]

But they're also having, like, hot sex and also loving sex.

[May Martin]

Yeah. And also I know I'm gonna watch it and because everyone's talking about the sex, I know I'm gonna watch it and it's gonna be like half as much sex as a straight show. But people just talk about it way more.

[Fortune Feemster]

Well, I think it's just, like. It's just different than any portrayal of it that you've seen in media. Like, there's a more of a. There's a hotness to it, and some sometimes. And there's a tenderness to it. And other times, like a way that they don't depict males often. And girls are really into it.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait. Oh, it's gay guys.

[Fortune Feemster]

Gay guys, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Interesting.

[Fortune Feemster]

And they're closeted hockey players that are, like, meeting up and banging, and it's got them.

[Tig Notaro]

You were saying it was gay women.

[Fortune Feemster]

No, it's not men. And it's got the world called the world by storm.

[May Martin]

But you know how, like, the. The cliches that, like, straight men watch lesbian porn? Yeah, I do watch gay male. Like, I'm.

[Fortune Feemster]

I. I think a lot of people like a lot of.

[May Martin]

Non men.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. Non men watch gay and.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah. Because it's hot. Because. Yeah.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Fortune.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you watch Gay Mail?

[Fortune Feemster]

I don't, but I'm really into this series. Yeah, I'm in. And I'm enjoying porn. Do you.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you watch a lot of porn?

[Fortune Feemster]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you watch a little bit of porn?

[Fortune Feemster]

No, I haven't watched it in so long.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, how long we talking, weeks?

[Fortune Feemster]

No, like, years. I haven't watched it.

[May Martin]

Did you ever watch the original Queer As Folk?

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, yeah. That was really good. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

I would say. Yeah. This show is like, these. These men are very attractive.

[May Martin]

And you were binging this and you.

[Fortune Feemster]

Didn'T sleep, and I stayed up later than I should because I was like, well, I can't quit now. I gotta see what happens in episode five.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

And what happened in episode five, it.

[Fortune Feemster]

Really leaves on a cliffhanger of. Well, I don't want to give it away because I feel like people.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

I'm gonna watch it.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna give it away.

[Tig Notaro]

Can you just tell me then? No, you need to.

[Fortune Feemster]

You should watch it, too. I think y' all would be into it.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feemster]

How.

[May Martin]

How are you feeling about the start of the year?

[Tig Notaro]

I'm feeling really good. I. Do you want to hold hands? I'm happy to hold hands. Do you want to hold hands? Yeah, I'm feeling good about the new year. You're the horse. I'm getting a horse.

[May Martin]

You're getting horse.

[Fortune Feemster]

You're getting a horse, and you get a horse. And you get a horse.

[May Martin]

No, it's the year of the horse.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I thought you said you're getting a horse.

[May Martin]

You're getting horse.

[Tig Notaro]

You're getting a Horse. Yeah. No, I'm. I feel like I've teed life up where I want it.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

At 54, it's so crazy how long it takes humans to evolve.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And change. And I do feel like this year everything feels pretty much in place and I'm ready to live life with things in place.

[May Martin]

Carl Jung said, Life begins at 40. Everything up until then is just research.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Oh, my goodness.

[May Martin]

I'm really holding onto that. Yeah. I feel like, lighter. I feel good. I went to Toronto and like, I was so many friends going through tough stuff and it gave me perspective. And then I also, I was at like a wake and one of the grieving husband of the person who had passed after I left the wake apparently said to my friend, so nice to see. May I hope they figure out the riddle of their life. Oh, she passed this on to me and I was like, am I giving? Am I giving off? I haven't figured out the riddle of my life, but I loved it. It's haunted me and it's made me think, yeah, I gotta figure out the riddle of my life.

[Tig Notaro]

I would be very excited by that and I would say.

[May Martin]

It'S a great way to look at it. Like, we all have a riddle of our life and that's our mission, is to solve that riddle. And we. And the joy is trying to solve it. Like we might not.

[Tig Notaro]

I would say the complicated and exciting part of you is that your life definitely feels like a riddle.

[May Martin]

Like a riddle.

[Tig Notaro]

But, but, but really, like, you know, there's so many people where I just feel like you have had and will continue. It's a very full life.

[May Martin]

There's a curiosity and a change.

[Tig Notaro]

And you're a very curious person.

[May Martin]

Very so. And I like a mystery. I like an escape room. So I like a approaching it that way. Being like, yeah. So I came back feeling good. And then I volunteered at this. And everyone. If you're in la, food on foot, it's called.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And it's. You can go every Sunday if you want. It's like handing out food to unhoused people. And I was just like, hell. Because I've been feeling so paralyzed by how bad the news is. And we're just. You feel like hopeless. But really, if you do things in your immediate community, like, if everyone did that, the massive change would be crazy. And I felt like, oh, it's. I can do something. I'm not.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Because imagine like we're all reading the news about like anti trans laws and all this stuff, but if everyone in their small Town, like, supported their local LGBT center, called their representatives, whatever, in your immediate vicinity. It would make a huge difference. So that's my little spiel. I'm feeling very positive.

[Tig Notaro]

And so you. It was that your first experience with food on foot?

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

And there's not actual food on your feet?

[May Martin]

There's no food on my feet.

[Tig Notaro]

Right.

[May Martin]

And I went with my friend Matt, who I. Who lives with me.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Sure.

[Tig Notaro]

He lives in your.

[Fortune Feemster]

He.

[Tig Notaro]

He's free range. He lives in your backyard.

[Fortune Feemster]

He's the one that wanders by your window occasionally.

[May Martin]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And it was just amazing that they. It's food and clothes and stuff, and you. You hand it out and 400 people showed up to. I mean, to make use of it.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And I kind of thought it would be one of those things where it was like super privileged people just, like, getting a selfie of them volunteering. But it was like.

[Tig Notaro]

Which is always helpful.

[May Martin]

Which is always helpful. I mean, I did take a selfie.

[Fortune Feemster]

You're like, I gotta get credit on myself.

[May Martin]

But, like, they are really in need of volunteers. Like, they really, like, are in need every Sunday. And then they also have a program that helps people get housing, gets training, get sober, gets.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

It's like they. They stay with these people. And while we were there, this woman graduated and got the keys to her first ever apartment. She's in her 40s.

[Fortune Feemster]

So cool.

[May Martin]

And it's like, oh, my God. So it may. Yeah. Like, you can't not leave feeling grateful and positive and. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And. And as a reminder, too, I've told you guys about that place where we deliver food every Sunday.

[May Martin]

What is that?

[Tig Notaro]

It's called Hangout Do Good.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

And it's different houses around the town. Around Los Angeles.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

That are. Every Sunday, rain or shine, you. You pull up, you drop off prepared food.

[May Martin]

Prepared. Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Like sandwiches, snacks, all sorts of things in a bag. You put it on the people's yard or front step. And. And the people that have, you know, made their home, the drop off, they take all of the food and go deliver it.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

That's awesome.

[Tig Notaro]

And it's just a. You know, if you don't have a huge amount of time.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And, you know, we're busy on the weekends with our kids, but we get up every Sunday, put the meals together, and we go drop it off. And you can, you know, they have it online, tell you where the nearest one.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

That's amazing.

[Tig Notaro]

So anyway, it's even aside from holiday time, just like, if you have to remember these people are in need all year round.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I'm going to keep going. And then, like, this unhoused person is walking past my table and goes, you're. Did you forget something today? And I said, what do you mean? And he goes, did you forget how beautiful you are? Oh, my God, my heart.

[Fortune Feemster]

Like, that's a good line.

[May Martin]

Thank you.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, I'm gonna use that one. Did you forget something?

[May Martin]

Did you forget something? Do you forget how beautiful you are? It was really charming.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my goodness. And what did you say to them?

[May Martin]

I honestly was like.

[Fortune Feemster]

I did not forget anything.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

I went.

[May Martin]

I said, yeah, I did forget.

[Tig Notaro]

What if you're like, actually, I didn't.

[May Martin]

No, I always remember that.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's one thing I never forget.

[May Martin]

Cheers. Jillian. This lovely woman in Florida, in Orlando, also had sent my mom a bunch of candles that she made.

[May Martin]

Oh, no way.

[Fortune Feemster]

And then my sister in law ended up ordering a bunch of them because she liked them so much. But I guess she also makes soap.

[Tig Notaro]

That's amazing.

[May Martin]

It smells amazing.

[Tig Notaro]

And is she Cat lady or is it. I don't know.

She has a bunch of things she hasn't.

[Fortune Feemster]

She gave me two. She gave me one for you.

[Tig Notaro]

Being greedy.

She gave me one for me, but it might not have coconut oil in it.

The same day.

[Fortune Feemster]

I don't think I realized that the coconut I felt with you and coconut, it was only ingesting it.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, your body is ingesting it, right? We don't know when it's on your skin.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

But I had to know, like, seep in like that.

[May Martin]

Well, I had a massage with coconut oil, and afterwards I just felt really, like, red and itchy and, like, woozy. But it could be in my head. We don't know. I've never been tested for this allergy.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's true. Well, I think that would make a lovely gift to someone.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it would.

[Tig Notaro]

People do they throw it on stage at you?

[Fortune Feemster]

No, she was in the meet and greet so that was a very nice.

[Tig Notaro]

I was going to do meet and greet this tour.

[May Martin]

Yeah yeah yeah, you were Going to.

[Tig Notaro]

I.

[Fortune Feemster]

You bailed back.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

I was like, yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I. I told my agent. I was like, you know what I will do mean greet this year. And then when I started thinking, I was like, I don't know.

[May Martin]

It is like. Because it'll. It will. It does add like two hours to you. You do your hour and a half.

[Fortune Feemster]

It shouldn't be two hours. You're doing popular. I think you' doing too much.

[May Martin]

I think I'm spending too much time with each person.

[Fortune Feemster]

It should not be two hours. For sure.

[May Martin]

I'm excited to go to all these cities I've never been to.

[Fortune Feemster]

I know. You got your big tour that.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

When's that start?

[May Martin]

End of February. Oh, I'm scared, though. About like I just saw in. In Texas, they're making this rule that you're allowed to take pictures of people you suspect are trans in the bathroom.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Oh, really?

[May Martin]

Upload them to a helpline or what? Reporting it. And then they're offering cash prizes to people who turn in prizes. Cash incentives. If you report on, like, someone who is propagating trans ideology, like, it's getting really. Not to be a downer, but it is nerve wrack. I guess I'll just pee on the bus.

[Fortune Feemster]

That is nerve wracking.

[May Martin]

I'll be on my tour bus or.

[Fortune Feemster]

We'Re in Texas and I'll send selfies to the helpline.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Where in Texas will you be?

[May Martin]

I'm going to the. The big city. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Should be all right.

[May Martin]

It's like, I don't want to cancel because what's nice is that maybe people in those small towns will come to for sure.

[Fortune Feemster]

You should definitely drive in do.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Weird times, though.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. Yes, indeed.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Why do you live here?

[May Martin]

I don't know.

[Tig Notaro]

I mean, truly. I just look at people that have the option to not.

[May Martin]

Right. Oh, I see. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

You were thinking about Toronto for a while, right, you guys.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. It's not off the table.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But I would miss you too much.

[May Martin]

Well, we're bringing you with us. If they go. I'm going in a little sidecar. Yeah. Wagon attached to your car. And then you get a wagon attached to mine.

[Tig Notaro]

Like a little red wagon that we would pull behind the car.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's cute.

[May Martin]

From a widow. Wed wagon. Is that Fred Willard? I think I got a wed. I got a wheel wed wagon.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, like on Best in Show or something. Probably.

[May Martin]

Oh, man.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, my God.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my goodness.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, my goodness, you guys.

[Tig Notaro]

And wait, I feel like you went and saw somebody that told You.

[May Martin]

Oh, the psychic, huh? Yeah. Okay, what will I say? I had an experience with the psychic that was so crazy that I'm keeping it. I just told you before we started recording.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

But maybe I won't say it on the pod because I think people think I'm insane on this podcast.

[Tig Notaro]

For sure.

[May Martin]

Yeah. They think.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. That's why they tune in.

[Fortune Feemster]

No, they're just that you just like some woo stuff, you know.

[Tig Notaro]

They know that they're following you with your riddle of life.

[May Martin]

Yes, exactly.

[Tig Notaro]

And this is just part of it.

[Fortune Feemster]

Part of the riddle. Yeah, good point.

[Tig Notaro]

Thank you.

[Fortune Feemster]

You're welcome.

[May Martin]

Because I'm also like, I'm also interested in what does this mean sociologically, the way we. A lot of people, especially Gen Z, are turning to things like magic and manifestation and spells. Like.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, really?

[May Martin]

And it's a very individualistic, inward looking thing.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, I imagine. Sorry, yeah. You. You can't just casually say Gen X is turning to magic. Gen Z. Gen Z.

[Fortune Feemster]

They're like, got it.

[May Martin]

Close up magic with.

[Tig Notaro]

But I have to say, I did a show at Largo last night and it was crazy. When I interacted with somebody in the audience, he was a magician and then another magician was there. He was like, hey, Brent, is that you? Yeah, it's Mike. And when I was on stage, I was like, okay, it's so dark in this theater. I would have assumed it's just a sea of lesbians.

[Fortune Feemster]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

But it's white, middle aged, balding magicians. I didn't know that was my sweet song.

[May Martin]

How is that your demographic?

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know. I mean, everyone is welcome at my show. I was just like, look at this. Also, I have to just say this because I, you know, when you miss a moment.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And you're like, I want to go back in time.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

One of the Go Gos was at my show.

[Fortune Feemster]

Really?

[May Martin]

That's big.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's like your people.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes. How do I know? Yeah, I was talking to her and so I was worried.

[Fortune Feemster]

You didn't meet her.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, she. I do this thing where I'll. I'll talk to the audience and ask them like if they know anyone famous.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, really?

[May Martin]

That's so funny. What? So you just say, does anyone here know anyone famous?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And it's just such a fun. It's so fun to follow.

[Fortune Feemster]

Well, especially in la, there's. The likelihood is high.

[Tig Notaro]

So I'm talking to her and she.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Says, I know Belinda Carlisle.

[Tig Notaro]

And I was like, and it's so dark. Okay. She's second row and I'm like, how do you know Belinda Carlisle?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And she's like, well, I've been in a band with her for over 40 years. I was like, wait, you're a Go Go.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's hilarious.

[Tig Notaro]

And she's like, yeah. And I go, what's your name? And she said, shar. And then I was like, oh, my gosh. And then I wanted to say her last name, but I was scared that I was remembering it wrong and that I was gonna be saying I thought it was a girl's name from my childhood.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And that was the moment I missed because I wanted to blow her mind. As soon as we got in the car to leave, I looked up her last name, and I turned to Stephanie.

[Fortune Feemster]

I was like, I had it right.

[Tig Notaro]

And I just wanted to. And Stephanie was like, you should look her up online and tell her. And I go, I missed the moment.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But if she's listening, which she claims, she goes, I am a huge fan of yours. If you are listening. Charlotte.

[Fortune Feemster]

Tig knew.

[Tig Notaro]

I knew.

[May Martin]

What is it?

[Tig Notaro]

Caffey.

[May Martin]

Charlotte Caffey.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Nice.

[Tig Notaro]

But I was convinced. I was like, I'm pulling up my childhood friend's name. Anyway, but that was just a thrill. And I got to tell her that when Max and Finn were babies, we used to put them in these little bouncy chairs, and they would bounce to.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

We got the beat.

[Tig Notaro]

And we have videos of them just, like, bouncing and kicking their little feet.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's good.

[Tig Notaro]

And when I told her that, she was like, oh, my gosh, she was so happy. I love that.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's a great sighting for you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it was really, really fun. Yeah.

[May Martin]

It's right in your wheelhouse. Right?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God. The guitarist of the Go Go sitting right there. Sweet spot.

[May Martin]

I mean, less magicians and more like.

[Tig Notaro]

More magicians.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Like, spells.

[May Martin]

Like, people are getting into tarot. They're getting into, like. Yeah. Esoteric, kind of like quantum stuff. Like, that's where we're drifting. And I am interested in that. And I don't think it's a bad thing. But I also don't think it's necessarily a good thing because it's very solipsistic. It's like. It's very. Like, I'm in control. I can manifest my destiny. Me, me, me. You know, and we're. Anyway, what was my point? Oh, I went to see a psychic.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Oh.

[May Martin]

But I'm scared of talking about it in case people think I'm crazy.

[Fortune Feemster]

But I would talk to psychics a lot.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Okay. At least in la, because I saw this woman about a year and a half ago or longer now, and I was still in a relationship, and I was like, yeah, everything's great. Next year I'm really gonna be, like, nesting. And she was like, I don't know about that. But I was kind of like you.

[Fortune Feemster]

But I remember this was a different psychic.

[May Martin]

No, same one.

[Fortune Feemster]

Same one. Okay.

[May Martin]

So I remembered. I was like, oh, she was pretty on point, and she said some other stuff. And so I went back and you.

[Tig Notaro]

Were just like, don't say, I'm not nesting.

[Fortune Feemster]

I'm gonna nest so hard.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, you're wrong.

[May Martin]

And that was my vibe. I was like, okay, really?

[Fortune Feemster]

This psychic is not good. Yeah.

[May Martin]

And then. So I went to see her in Toronto. And.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

I was just.

[Tig Notaro]

Did you have to confess? She was right. That you're not nesting?

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I was like, yeah, I have some news.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Then I. She said, look into. So she's saying all kinds of stuff and I'm crying. It's just like therapy, right?

[Fortune Feemster]

Cathartic.

[May Martin]

It's cathartic. I'm talking about life. And.

[Tig Notaro]

And by the way, you sound crazy right now.

[May Martin]

I know. And then she goes, look into my left eye. And I look into her eye. Okay. All I'm gonna say is I start tripping out. Like, I see her face change, and I've never had. I've never had an experience like this when I'm not on psychedelics. Like, her face sort of went. Became an old woman's face. This is breaking.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, 54. We're talking around my age, 90s.

[Fortune Feemster]

Like, she suddenly looked like you.

[May Martin]

Almost like motherfucker.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yellow teeth. Like, she had her droopy eye.

[Tig Notaro]

She had a droopy eye like that finger face.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And then. Anyway, it was.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

And then it was.

[Tig Notaro]

What?

[May Martin]

I was just seeing her face change into different faces.

[Tig Notaro]

And was that helpful for your life?

[May Martin]

I started laughing. I was going, what is happening? And she goes, I know, I know. She goes, if you wanted to stop, you can just look away. So I.

[Tig Notaro]

She knew her face was melting off and she knew. She was like, I know, I know. It's weird.

[Fortune Feemster]

At first.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, my face is going to melt off.

[Fortune Feemster]

Either enjoy the ride or get off.

[Tig Notaro]

Don't freak out. I'm going to look 54 in a second.

[May Martin]

And then afterwards, she kind of. I said, what the fuck was that? Like, what were those faces? And she goes, I don't. She's like, I don't really know. She goes, I just want. I've always been able to do that. And I just wanted to show you that reality is not what we think it is. There's a lot more going on.

[Tig Notaro]

Give me her number. I want to see if you are lying to us.

[May Martin]

You have to go in person in Toronto. Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm going to give you a detail me her number.

[Fortune Feemster]

I won't be there for a minute.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

It was wild, guys. But I told my parents. They were like, you need to go back to rehab. No, just kidding. But they were. They were. People are freaked out and I'm freaked out.

[Fortune Feemster]

But just by the state of the world, you mean?

[May Martin]

No, by the fact that I saw a.

[Tig Notaro]

Why can we not follow a conversation?

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, no.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you saying the Go Go's freak you out? Is that what you're saying?

[Fortune Feemster]

But did you come away with it feeling enlightened?

[May Martin]

I just felt more relaxed because I was like.

[Tig Notaro]

Because her face was melting off.

[May Martin]

I kind of was like, who cares about anything? There's, like, old lady faces floating around, you know? And then I thought about the song Row, row, Row youw Boat.

[Fortune Feemster]

I've heard of it.

[May Martin]

Life is but a dream, you know? Row your boat gently down the stream.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, yeah.

[May Martin]

I was like, merrily, merrily. I just feel like I'm less worried about things. It'll fade. Worry next week I'll be heartbroken.

[Tig Notaro]

So you left after her face melted off and you were singing ro.

[Fortune Feemster]

Row, row, row your boat.

[May Martin]

And I'm worried people are going to think I'm crazy.

[Fortune Feemster]

They will not. They will not think that.

[Tig Notaro]

No, I think that people can clock.

[Fortune Feemster]

People understand what you're saying.

[May Martin]

Look, I'm also very grounded. Both feet on the floor. I know.

[Tig Notaro]

Actually, one of your feet's on this.

[May Martin]

Couch right now, gripping one of my feet like this.

[Fortune Feemster]

Anyways, listen, whatever, you know, whatever.

[Tig Notaro]

Whatever floats your boat. Whatever. Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

What? Road. Your turn.

[May Martin]

Yeah, let's do it. Okay, ready?

[Fortune Feemster]

Row, row, row your boat gently down the street. No use.

[May Martin]

Okay, you start and just sing it all the way through. Okay, ready?

[Tig Notaro]

Row, row, row your boat Merrily, merrily.

[Fortune Feemster]

You didn't stop this song because you.

[May Martin]

Have to go gently down the stream.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Wow.

[Tig Notaro]

I feel cured.

[Fortune Feemster]

Great. I feel enlightened. On that note, should we hear our question?

[Tig Notaro]

Hell, yeah, I think we should.

[May Martin]

Today's question. Oscar is a Canadian American actor and podcast host who played Jobe the Magician. Magician. In arrested development. And BoJack. And BoJack Horseman. He's one of the three hosts.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Horse.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm getting a horse.

[May Martin]

Year of the Horse. And you're getting.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm getting a horse.

[May Martin]

He's one of the three hosts of the hit podcast Smartless. He stars in the new movie about stand up comedy. Is this thing on? Opposite Laura Dern, Will Arnett is asking today's question.

[Fortune Feemster]

I want to see that movie.

[May Martin]

Hi, I'm Will Arnett from.

[Beck Bennett]

Is this thing on? If you had to live in a sitcom, which would it be all right.

[Fortune Feemster]

If we had to live in a sitcom. That one is so easy for me.

[May Martin]

Oh, really?

[Fortune Feemster]

Because I have dreamed about this since Alpha's, you know, near and dear to me. Of course. But I've thought about this since I was a young gal.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Because when I was young, for whatever reason I'm talking like 10 years old, I was obsessed with shows about old people, meaning Golden Girls. Emptiness.

[Tig Notaro]

Because you loved your grandma.

[Fortune Feemster]

I love my grandma. So much so I could.

[Tig Notaro]

I.

[Fortune Feemster]

And I love. I think I love the Golden Girls because they were so sassy.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

And I learned later in life it was because there was a lot of gay men on the writing staff.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Which I was like, that makes total sense.

[May Martin]

They tell it like it is.

[Fortune Feemster]

They tell it like it is.

[May Martin]

Yeah. You know, I've never watched a full episode.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

I remember when I was younger, I saw. I would catch an episode or a moment here or there, and I would think, this is so funny. I'm. You know what? I'm gonna watch this show. And then I.

[Fortune Feemster]

And you didn't either.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

I.

[Tig Notaro]

No.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, they're so good. They're so funny. Those women were like, just had such chemistry.

[May Martin]

Were they friends in real life? They all got along.

[Fortune Feemster]

I. There was always a rumor that Betty and Bea were dating. Got into it a little bit.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Beck Bennett]

Right.

[Fortune Feemster]

And I think they. I think they loved each other, but had also. I think Bea was annoyed by Betty at times.

[Tig Notaro]

There was a bee in her bonnet.

[May Martin]

There was a bee in the studio.

[Fortune Feemster]

And also they were like, I think in their, I want to say 50s, 30s.

[May Martin]

They were so young.

[Fortune Feemster]

Film that. Which is so crazy. But. Oh, and I love. We've talked about for Designing Women that's kind of in that same vein of like, strong women. And so my whole life, I was like, it is my dream to one day just end up in a house when I'm older with my friends eating cheesecake and wearing caftans. And.

[Tig Notaro]

What's a caftan?

[May Martin]

Like a. Like a poncho almost like a.

[Fortune Feemster]

It's like a wavy blanket that you wear.

[May Martin]

Almost.

[Fortune Feemster]

But it's not.

[Tig Notaro]

But it's like, why would I know what that is? Why. Why are you both pulling attitude?

[Fortune Feemster]

A captain is pretty common. Yeah. For who?

[Tig Notaro]

For like, I like. You think I have a captain in my head.

[Fortune Feemster]

You want me to show you a picture?

[Tig Notaro]

I don't ever want to see you. I don't want to see what this thing is.

[Fortune Feemster]

Says someone that's going to end up in a caftine. Yeah, you're gonna.

[May Martin]

The three of us, you're gonna be in a cafe.

[Fortune Feemster]

They're very popular in Palm Springs.

[May Martin]

Yeah, they are.

[Fortune Feemster]

Which you go to because you have in laws there.

[May Martin]

Okay, we know what we're getting to.

[Fortune Feemster]

You seems annoyed that we're like, yeah, I'm annoyed.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm not just annoyed. I'm like. I'm angry.

[May Martin]

You're borderline ready to walk out.

[Tig Notaro]

It's like, I'm going to quit the po.

[Fortune Feemster]

It's like a flowy piece of fabric.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't care anymore.

[Fortune Feemster]

Just put your head in. And there's no.

[Tig Notaro]

Put your head in.

[Fortune Feemster]

Well, there's no like legs or arms. It just flows down you.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm sorry. I didn't know what that was.

[Fortune Feemster]

Like. Like kind of like your nightgown.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it's like your.

[Fortune Feemster]

Your little nightgown, but there's no arms holes. Okay, well, you're going to end up in a captan.

[Tig Notaro]

You're gonna end up in a. You are.

[Fortune Feemster]

You are stopped.

[Tig Notaro]

Girls.

[Fortune Feemster]

Wait for this would be like an episode of the Golden Girls.

[May Martin]

Do you want to be. You want to live in that world and do you want to be yourself or you want to be an older version of yourself?

[Fortune Feemster]

Either. Either option. I either want to be in the sitcom.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

The Golden Girls as one of the girl, the gals that's eating cheesecake. Cheesecake's a big part of this.

[May Martin]

It is.

[Tig Notaro]

They eat cheesecake.

[Fortune Feemster]

They eat cheesecake a lot. Yeah. And I was very drawn to that. I was like, you mean as an adult you can just eat cheesecake whenever you want?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

I was fascinated by that.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, you can.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Wow.

[Fortune Feemster]

In a caftan.

[Beck Bennett]

Wow.

[May Martin]

You can do anything you want.

[Fortune Feemster]

And. But also in life. I wouldn't mind a situation later on where I end up up with a bunch of gals. Yeah.

[May Martin]

With a bunch of your friends. Also, are the. It seems like the Problems on that show. It's like a problem of the week. It's. And it's never anything too scary. Like, that would be nice.

[Fortune Feemster]

And then they had. So Bea Arthur's mom. So be's character is Dorothy and her mom was Sophia.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

And she was a real spitfire and always, like, talked shit and stuff.

[May Martin]

Did you have a crush on any.

[Fortune Feemster]

Of them, you think? I loved Rose, Betty White's character, she was very naive and silly and she would be like, back insane Olaf and I can't believe I'm.

[Tig Notaro]

This is crazy. If you were. If. Okay, if. If we were on the Golden Girls, who would be who? And including Tom, because aren't there four Golden Girls?

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, I know. Okay, that's true.

[Tig Notaro]

Is there four Golden Girls?

[Fortune Feemster]

There are four girls. You would eat. God. You would either be Dorothy or Sophia because you're cranky. I don't know, maybe Sophia. Yeah, you be Sophia. Wait, which one?

[Tig Notaro]

Sophia?

[Fortune Feemster]

The old. The old who's like, sticking it to people. And you would be Rose, naive and silly. I would be Blanche, the, like, the sassy. Sassy. She's the. She was going out on dates with all the men.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, she was a. And so I guess that would. You would have to be Dorothy because you're tall and have a mustache and Dorothy was, you know, adjacent to that.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, that's actually pretty great. You know, they have a lot of gay men do drag.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

They do shows in drag as the Golden Girls.

[Tig Notaro]

Remember how we had that one picture online where our social team made us the friends actresses?

[May Martin]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

We need them to make us more of a Golden Girl.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

I never thought in my life I'd be explaining the Golden Girls to people. This is wild. It's blowing my mind.

[May Martin]

I feel like it's so dependent on, like, what you grew up watching.

[Fortune Feemster]

Right.

[May Martin]

And so I go. I'm saying it's less that I want to live in the world of friends. Although penthouse apartments in New York, pretty great apartment. It's more like I want to be part of the cast. And like, I was so captivated by. By like the behind the scene. I wanted to know, like, are they really friends? And they just. It seems tight. I know. So I think I want to be on Friends. I think I wanted to be Matthew Perry so bad. Like.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, really?

[May Martin]

Yeah. It was around the time of, like, Jim Carrey as well. And Matthew Perry just was cool and funny and I wanted to be. And kind of self deprecating. Yeah, Yeah. I wanted to be. And he's Canadian.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's Right.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

That's right.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Hockey.

[Fortune Feemster]

Right, right.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah, Will did.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, that's right. You know, honestly, I forgot that Will was Canadian.

[May Martin]

I would. Would never forget, because I got a list in my head all the time.

[Fortune Feemster]

Of every Canadian of all the Canadians. He's very funny.

[May Martin]

Yeah. I liked all the romantic drama going on on Friends as well. Like, you'd never get tired of, you know, the Ross. The riddle of your life.

[Fortune Feemster]

We were on a break. We were on a break.

[May Martin]

We were on a break. They were.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Tig.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, here comes my age reveal. I was obsessed with Good Times. Never heard of it.

[May Martin]

Never heard of it.

[Tig Notaro]

You've never heard of Good Times?

[Fortune Feemster]

No.

[May Martin]

This is why this podcast is Dan.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, my.

[May Martin]

Oh, that rings a bell.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[Fortune Feemster]

Good job.

[Tig Notaro]

J.J. walker.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

And John Amos, the dad. I mean, they were like this family living in the projects, you know, and the comedy was there, but, like, the drama was so there.

[May Martin]

Like, it could get earnest.

[Tig Notaro]

It could get, like, After School Special. Oh, way after school. Like, it is, like, serious business was. I remember Janet Jackson was on it, too, and, like, regularly, she. Yeah, she was. Yeah, she was on there. And I remember one time she came over to their house, and she had a. Like, a burn on her from an iron. And it was revealed that she was being abused at home.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God. This is a sitcom we're seeing.

[Tig Notaro]

This is a sitcom.

[May Martin]

Holy shit.

[Tig Notaro]

And it would get real.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But it was also really funny. It was so, so great. I loved 70s and black sitcoms in the 70s. There's nothing better. Nothing better.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, Because I love the Jeffersons.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And also, not to bring up such a sad thing, but like, Rob Reiner and, like, all of his all in the Family. Did you ever see that?

[May Martin]

I have seen.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my gosh.

[Fortune Feemster]

Just incredible.

[Tig Notaro]

That was also part of my upbringing of, you know, sitcoms. But I have to go with Good Times for sure.

[May Martin]

Like, I'm moving away. I don't want a family one. I want, like, Sexy Friends, you know, like Cheers. I would do.

[Tig Notaro]

See, I'm gonna show up abused.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

You want to show up at the first one.

[Tig Notaro]

I want to be in that.

[May Martin]

And, like, someone doing a wellness.

[Fortune Feemster]

Those old sitcoms had such great theme songs too.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God. And I also. Oh, my God. The painting at the beginning of Good Times and. And the camera pans along. This. This painting is so. I want. I need to get a copy of that painting.

[May Martin]

You got to get a copy.

[Tig Notaro]

I got to get a copy of it.

[May Martin]

There's a a a documentary on Netflix right now about cinema in the 70s, specifically 1975. And it just was the best.

[Fortune Feemster]

It's.

[May Martin]

If you watch it and you're just.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, that's why I tapped out after.

[May Martin]

You gotta watch.

[Fortune Feemster]

I know. You don't watch anything anymore.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Good Times had a great theme song.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, it did.

[Fortune Feemster]

Jefferson, I think might be the best.

[May Martin]

Let's hear it.

[Fortune Feemster]

What is it? Beans don't burn in the kitchen Beans don't burn on the grill Took a whole lot of trying just to get up that hill Up Moving on Now we're down in the big le Taking our turns at B, you and me There ain't nothing wrong with that Moving on up Moving on up to the east side To a deluxe apartment in the sky we're moving on up Best song ever.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

I don't.

[Tig Notaro]

It's real good. It's Sanford and Song. I wouldn't mind being on that.

[May Martin]

Like, Arrested Development would be hilarious to be in, but highly stressful.

[Tig Notaro]

Arrested Development.

[May Martin]

That's one of the best shows.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh. Hands down.

[May Martin]

Yeah. The joke ratio. It's crazy.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh.

[Tig Notaro]

Love it.

[May Martin]

It almost numbs you into, like, you can't even laugh anymore because every line is so funny.

[Beck Bennett]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

That was the first time I remember, you know. Cause as we know, I haven't followed a lot of TV shows and whatever. And I remember hearing people talk about, oh, I'm so sad. I'm gonna miss this character. I'm gonna. That family. And I was always, like, get a life.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And then when Arrested Development ended, I was, like, devastated. I'm gonna miss these people.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm gonna miss these people.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Liza Minnelli on that show who had vertigo all the time. Her character.

[Fortune Feemster]

I should go back and watch it.

[May Martin]

You gotta.

[Fortune Feemster]

Well, It was so unique. All those characters were, like, insane.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

It was funny to see them, like, interact.

[May Martin]

It's also. It's been a while. I guess there's. Tim Robinson is doing stuff. But that something's been such a comedy. Like, we're talk. All the shows we're talking about have heart and pathos and stuff. But not that Arrested Development doesn't. But, like, I miss, like, silly comedy.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Like when he. When Tobias joins the Blue Man Group. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

I have to go way, way nonsense.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Or I have to go way, way devastation.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

You know, like, I'm. The sitcom I'm watching is in the projects where people are getting abused.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

To me. And there's a laugh track on that.

[Fortune Feemster]

Show, by the way, is There.

[May Martin]

Really?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And then. And then I like Dumb and Dumber.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

There's no in between for me. Boys Don't Cry. Or Dumb and Dumber.

[May Martin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

I do love a silly, ridiculous comedy where everyone's absurd.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[May Martin]

That's why like. Like when I did a couple days on your show with Will Ferrell and, yeah. I had to, like, almost block out of my mind just all the, like, stepbrothers and these. I mean, really.

[Fortune Feemster]

I know you have. It takes you a while to sort of like, like, like, stop laughing at him.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Because you just have to, like, take his character seriously.

[Tig Notaro]

Not be an audience member.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. Not to be an audience member. Cuz he's playing, like, his classic, like, overconfident, absurd, ridiculous type character that he does so well.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

So the beginning, I would just always be cracking up.

[May Martin]

I'm like, that was so funny improvising.

[Tig Notaro]

They're like, fortune, you're on the show.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

And I felt like probably had to just, like, participate with him.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Sorry.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, that's okay, dear.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, you guys, I love it. Starting the new year with foot kisses.

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, foot kisses.

[Fortune Feemster]

What else should we kiss?

[Tig Notaro]

Well, should we?

[May Martin]

Oh, how dare you.

[Tig Notaro]

How dare you. Well, you just.

[Fortune Feemster]

You made the same face that you made talking about a cafe. Yeah, but you just said in a.

[Tig Notaro]

Snuggly voice, what else should we kiss? And, like, I don't. Well, yeah, I don't want you kissing anything. You're giving. You're giving lesbians a bad name. You know, you're, like, acting like we.

[Fortune Feemster]

Just love a bad name.

[Tig Notaro]

Don't say that. I love bad names. Fortune.

[Fortune Feemster]

All right. Don't kiss anything.

[Tig Notaro]

Exactly.

[May Martin]

You just winked at me. Can we please edit that?

[Tig Notaro]

Quitting this podcast. I don't feel safe. Yeah, I am.

[Fortune Feemster]

No, you're not.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Fortune Feemster]

Come here. Give me a kiss. Give me a kiss.

[May Martin]

We're not letting you quit. We're not. I can't quit you. I wish I could quit you.

[Fortune Feemster]

I can't quit you don't have to.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm quitting both of you.

[Fortune Feemster]

No, you're not.

[May Martin]

Oh, you're not.

[Fortune Feemster]

We're not starting this year.

[May Martin]

You can't quit us.

[Fortune Feemster]

We're not starting this podcast.

[Tig Notaro]

Stephanie and I used to. I'd say, never mind. I don't know how the story goes.

[May Martin]

That was really genuine.

[Fortune Feemster]

Are you on?

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, I know what I say every now and then. I go, what? What would you do if I left you? She be like, I. I'd just go with you. That's I'm like.

[Fortune Feemster]

I thought you were going to say. She was like, that'd be fine.

[Tig Notaro]

She said you. Can I just go with you?

[May Martin]

Oh, I like her a lot.

[Fortune Feemster]

I like her a lot. That's sweet.

[Tig Notaro]

Stop holding my hand.

[Fortune Feemster]

Your hands are soft. Have you felt Tig's hands?

[May Martin]

I have, yeah. More than you know.

[Fortune Feemster]

My fingers are between your fingers. That is pretty intimate.

[May Martin]

When you do your fingers, my butt is a part of your body.

[Tig Notaro]

Fortune, are you attracted to me? Fortune, are you attracted to me?

[May Martin]

Cuts it. All the times we've just been trying to make a fortune. Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God.

[Fortune Feemster]

I just scissored Tig's fingers with my fingers. Let me be clear.

[Tig Notaro]

Let me be queer.

[May Martin]

All the times we've just been asked to make, like, a simple promo video, and then Tig's kissing all over you. Right on Tig's time.

[Tig Notaro]

When Tig wants to kiss a friend and trying to make you feel loved.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, sure. You can't just turn it on and off.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, I can.

[Fortune Feemster]

Whatevs.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah.

[Fortune Feemster]

Love you guys.

[May Martin]

Love you.

[Tig Notaro]

Can we edit that out? Can we edit that out?

[May Martin]

Thomas, the Love you.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

No, leave the.

[Tig Notaro]

Love you, Thomas.

[Fortune Feemster]

Remove it.

[May Martin]

You know what that felt like.

[Tig Notaro]

And also remove the finger violation that happened.

[Fortune Feemster]

Do not.

[May Martin]

No, blur it out.

[Fortune Feemster]

No, you leave it. You leave it out or else leave that. That love in. I won't be silenced.

[Tig Notaro]

Look at that nasty face you're making.

[Fortune Feemster]

I won't be silenced.

[May Martin]

Well, should we hear what Will has to say?

[Tig Notaro]

I feel like you, like, left the.

[Fortune Feemster]

Room there and you're just like, I won't be like.

[Tig Notaro]

You got caught in some old trauma.

[Fortune Feemster]

Where you're just like, I won't be silent. I won't be silenced. I got to drink the spin. Drift.

[May Martin]

Should we hear Will's answer?

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, let's hear it.

[Beck Bennett]

Cheers. I live in Cheers.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God. His question and answer reveals what a fan of the podcast is.

[May Martin]

Listen, he's obsessed with us.

[Tig Notaro]

It's like, Cindy Lockwood.

[Fortune Feemster]

Will, calm down with how much you want to talk to us.

[May Martin]

Would you ever write a cookbook?

[Fortune Feemster]

I like. He's like, I would. And Will is like, cheers.

[Tig Notaro]

Other than Cheers. What's the comment you mean in. That's it.

[Fortune Feemster]

Cheers. Cheers.

[Tig Notaro]

He doesn't tell Will.

[Fortune Feemster]

He doesn't tell us why.

[May Martin]

I feel like they didn't tell him who that question was for, because if he'd known, he would have been.

[Fortune Feemster]

He would have delved into why he wants to be on Cheers. I could have seen him On Cheers as the bartender. As like. Like a Woody.

[Tig Notaro]

I could see him on Golden Girls.

[Fortune Feemster]

I could also see that as well.

[May Martin]

This is a dumb question. I just can't remember.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, there's a few.

[May Martin]

So what's the riddle of my life? No, so was Cheers. It all took place in the bar. They never went out of the bar.

[Fortune Feemster]

Do you remember if they ever went out of the bar? They did once in a while, but not all.

[Tig Notaro]

They'd be at Sam's apartment or something.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Fortune Feemster]

It was mainly in that bar. That was a good sitcom too.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, they probably didn't want to promote drunk driving, people leaving the bar.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, that was. Kirsty Allen was first and then got. She was second.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Ally.

[Tig Notaro]

Kirsty Allen.

[Fortune Feemster]

Kirsty Allen. What?

[May Martin]

I say Kirsty Alley. Ally is the real name.

[Tig Notaro]

What is this? A Felista Clock Heart.

[Fortune Feemster]

Again. I watched that again the other day and Cackle Heart will live in my heart forever.

[Tig Notaro]

Stephanie watched it and often times, you know, like, she's used to me and silliness. Whatever. She texted me. She's like, I can't stop watching this.

[Fortune Feemster]

Couldn't stop watching it either. I. And the word.

[May Martin]

It is kept going.

[Fortune Feemster]

Around in my brain.

[Tig Notaro]

I stand by that's her name.

[May Martin]

It feels like a character from Robin Hood or something.

[Fortune Feemster]

We have to find her. She has to ask us a question. She has to introduce herself.

[May Martin]

Just to say, hi, I'm Felista Clockhart. Yeah, yeah, she does. She has to.

[Tig Notaro]

And we can blur out her mouth.

[May Martin]

Yes. Cheers is another one where, like, it turns out all the actors were 35.

[Fortune Feemster]

I know. Isn't that wild? Rhea Pearlman, I think. Yeah. Was like 35 or 30. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, you know, you probably don't know who Jean Stapleton is. Yes, the. The mom on all in the family. She was 38.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Jean Stapleton.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Why does everyone look so much older back then? I think she was 38 or 48.

[Fortune Feemster]

Smoking, maybe?

[May Martin]

Smoking.

[Fortune Feemster]

Maybe just the clothes they wore too.

[May Martin]

Maybe worse makeup, worse lighting.

[Tig Notaro]

They were like a. Like a moomoo or house dress.

[Fortune Feemster]

Capt.

[May Martin]

Heard of it?

[Fortune Feemster]

Heard of that?

[Tig Notaro]

Heard of it.

[Fortune Feemster]

So angry about those calf tans. I can't wait for you to go to Palm Springs.

[Tig Notaro]

Why? You want to get some space for me?

[Fortune Feemster]

No, I want you to. I want to give you a.

[Tig Notaro]

Should I get one for my mother in law?

[Fortune Feemster]

I think she would love it.

[May Martin]

Perfect mother in law.

[Fortune Feemster]

If she lives in a. In Palm Springs, she's going to want a captain because it's airy, it's so hot down there. You wear them in hot places.

[May Martin]

Nothing underneath. Underneath?

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. No. Ponti, you gotta wear some Ponties. Do you ever wear them? No, but when I enter into my Golden Girls era, I will only be wearing those.

[Tig Notaro]

When do you hit that? Because I'm a year. I'm less than a year away. I'm at. When I'm 55, I can legally move into a retirement community.

[May Martin]

Is that true?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. I'm gonna wait till 60. 65.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

60.

[Tig Notaro]

At 50. There's 55. There are some places you can move it. And that's. That's who your friend is. I am retirement community agent.

[May Martin]

They need to change those ages. As our life expectancy's gotten longer, I feel.

[Fortune Feemster]

I don't know.

[May Martin]

That seems young. 55.

[Fortune Feemster]

I'm gonna wait till between 65 and 68 to have my Golden Girls era.

[May Martin]

Oh, really?

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Wait, why 65?

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah, because before that I'm gonna be.

[Tig Notaro]

But 69. Off the bone.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Boning pre 65.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. Then I'm going to hang it up.

[May Martin]

You guys tie up a strap on.

[Fortune Feemster]

When I move in with my gals.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you going to be boning the gals?

[Fortune Feemster]

We'll see. Depends on the house. I have a lot to look forward to.

[May Martin]

You really do.

[Fortune Feemster]

Well, what a treat. That.

[May Martin]

What an absolute treat.

[Fortune Feemster]

Will. Will's question and answer. Full of information.

[May Martin]

Yeah, but I learned a lot about you guys.

[Fortune Feemster]

I know. It did spark a great conversation.

[May Martin]

Why did you learn that you like tragedy or extreme silliness.

[Tig Notaro]

You already knew that.

[May Martin]

Yeah, but I didn't know that you wanted to. I wouldn't have guessed that you wanted to be on a show.

[Tig Notaro]

And I didn't know I was getting a horse.

[Fortune Feemster]

I didn't know that you were getting.

[May Martin]

Horse.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

Horse.

[May Martin]

Your horse.

[Fortune Feemster]

It's the year of the horse.

[May Martin]

Can we just acknowledge that this is the first episode of the podcast where someone's almost quit? We had the biggest fight that has.

[Tig Notaro]

Ever happened on the pond, but things have gotten nasty. Yeah.

[May Martin]

You almost came to blows. We got through it.

[Tig Notaro]

Do you think there's listeners that believe.

[Fortune Feemster]

Yes.

[Tig Notaro]

When we're saying right now that we had a nasty fight?

[May Martin]

I read the Reddit page.

[Fortune Feemster]

They really think. They really get irritated with each other. But I don't.

[May Martin]

We. I can't wait.

[Tig Notaro]

On the Reddit page. They think that we're fighting about.

[Fortune Feemster]

I haven't read the Reddit.

[May Martin]

To be honest.

[Announcer/Ad Voice]

I haven't.

[Fortune Feemster]

We have a Reddit page.

[May Martin]

I haven't read it in months and months because I started to notice people commenting. Hi, May. We know you're reading this because I.

[Fortune Feemster]

Said on the pod.

[May Martin]

I read it.

[Fortune Feemster]

Oh, funny. I didn't know we had a Reddit.

[May Martin]

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah. I see comments every now and then on our Instagram that are like.

[Tig Notaro]

That are like they're fighting again.

[Fortune Feemster]

Sometimes they think we interrupt May too much. Sorry.

[May Martin]

Really?

[Fortune Feemster]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

I don't think that's true.

[Fortune Feemster]

We kind of interrupt each other all the time.

[May Martin]

Yeah, that's kind of the nature.

[Fortune Feemster]

That's what happens with three people.

[May Martin]

Also, sometimes I'm rambling on.

[Tig Notaro]

I don't have us. I honestly don't have a single problem.

[May Martin]

With either of them.

[Fortune Feemster]

Same.
