Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, it is your friend and mine, Tig Notaro, joined by my co-hosts of the Handsome Pod, Todd. Mae Martin. And Fortune Feimster. Hello. You guys. Yeah, girl. I missed you. I know. It has been 10 minutes since we wrapped up our last episode. I asked for a 10-minute break because I went and just woof down some food real fast and then ran back up what did you wolf down some overnight oats that i make oh you're so healthy
Starting point is 00:00:53 what are you trying to be what are you putting in there okay i was hoping you'd ask it is steel cut oats okay okay chia seeds hemp seeds flax seeds raspberries wild blueberries bananas and then a little cacao powder mix that up cinnamon on top when you eat it yeah you put on the amount of cinnamon you want and then that just sits in the fridge for like five days and then stephanie and i just help ourselves to it uh as as we like it's such a great breakfast but it's also a delicious dessert or snack during the day because it's so easy to access and it's so nutrient dense oh that it sounds very healthy what's like the liquid that it soaks up uh well i do it only with water oh cool yeah um you uh sprinkle that dike sauce on it what's it called dust. No, dyke dust is specifically for savory.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Oh, okay. Whereas this overnight oats that I make, it's more on the sweeter side, but it's like natural sweet. Oh, okay. You know, like I don't add sugar. I don't add honey or some maple syrup or anything like that. Oh, honey sounds good on that. Yeah. I bet you could open a vegan cafe.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Like, because everything you're describing sounds amazing to me. I just don't have the sort of, I don't know, wherewithal to do it. To make it and stuff. Okay, so I appreciate that, but my cafe would just be oatmeal? Yeah, and dike dust. That's your signature dish. And dike dust. And it's bring your own meal, and then I'll sprinkle dyke dust on there.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I like calling it dyke sauce. Yeah. You got that dyke sauce on that. Overnight oats out there. I need to start shifting my palate. Because to see your face light up like that, describing like one of the healthiest dishes i've ever heard of is like i love your joy yeah and i'm like i need more of that in my life well you should try this
Starting point is 00:03:14 and make a week's worth jacks you know how to make overnight oats jacks does yeah but the key is you want to use steel cut oats uh you don't want to use instant oats and you don't want to use um even just regular oats you you can it has the same nutritional value but steel cut oats they don't spike your blood uh sugar the way that regular oats do well because doesn't that instant oats have the chemicals and stuff in there well yeah i don't know what they're there's probably an old shoe in there too you know yeah i probably eat a lot of things with old shoes in it yeah they've in that if not an old shoe yeah in the oat factory just yeah just as a fuck you like every day somebody's got to give up a shoe to put in there yeah absolutely what'd you do with your 10 minute break fortune um good question i i went potty for 10 minutes a long a long slow stream
Starting point is 00:04:14 a long slow stream no i'm sending some text and then i potty i did reapply a little bit of foundation for our podcast i wanted to look handsome for my handsomes i didn't apply anything to my face and it shows go on but you're in a hotel room with jocks at the moment. Yeah, Jax and I had a staycation. We don't do that often. But yeah, we are in a hotel in the city in which we live. That's nice. I really like that. What a staycation is.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Or you just stay home andcation. I actually love being at home. That's great too. But we had like a little package thing that we had bid on for a charity like a year and a half ago and we were like we've never why don't we just use this and yeah so you can get why don't you use it and go podcast there yeah i know podcast i know i was like i am gonna be podcasting for a couple hours that's fine because it was jack's birthday and um uh we were celebrating that and uh we had like a nice dinner and we had a spa day and do you sing
Starting point is 00:05:32 to jack's on her i imagine she wakes up and you're singing happy birthday in a beautiful falsetto i did sing her happy birthday i asked her what she wanted uh we were at home on her birthday. And I said, what do you want for breakfast? I can pick up anything. Got to take to send over some dike dust. Yeah. Oats. She told me she wanted for me to make her gluten-free pumpkin pancakes. Now, I say this like I know how to make freshly baked pumpkin pancakes but it's a that's your
Starting point is 00:06:10 first problem you're baking them yeah i was gonna say i don't know that anyone's baking pancakes they're actually cakes in a pan you know what i mean yeah but you know so you pulled it off i pulled it off their pancakes were great I did put candles in the pancakes, not thinking that the pancakes were hot and it made some of the wax fall off. You know, they're also known as hot cakes. So she was like, I'm going to pick the wax out. I was like, here, switch with me.
Starting point is 00:06:41 She's like, no, it's fine. She's like picking wax out of her pancakes did you do any sort of shapes or faces or spell anything out with the pancakes skilled i'm not either but i mean i do it for max and finn you know i'll do an m and an f and you know yeah and it's terrible you put a couple of drops of green food coloring in and then you make it the shape of kind of like a Mickey Mouse head, but then the ears are the... You put banana slices there
Starting point is 00:07:11 and then a bit of red jam for the guts and it's roadkill. Roadkill frog. I did not think of that. Bulbous toad. Roadkill bulbous toad. I did sing her happy birthday. Jax doesn't like attention,
Starting point is 00:07:27 even if it's just the two of us so I sang in falsetto she's like don't look at me happy birthday to you and she's like oh god I'm like hey people would really enjoy me singing this I like how Jax doesn't like to be touched or looked at.
Starting point is 00:07:49 And then you sing to her and she plugs her ears. She's amazing. She's the best. She's her own person. That's what I love about her. Of course. Jax is radical, dude. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah, dude. My grandma used to call from England to sing Happy Birthday. What did that sound like? Such a nice tradition. She'd sing it too fast to get through it. She'd go, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Like that, and get through it really fast. Didn't want to run up her long distance bill.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah, then click, hangs up at the end. My friend and I used to, as completely grown adults in our forties, used to prank call people. And we would do this thing where we would act like we were an elderly couple. And we would call and somebody would answer the phone. And as soon as they answered,
Starting point is 00:08:41 we'd be like, happy birthday to you. And we'd sing the whole song. And at the, we'd be like, happy birthday to you. And we'd sing the whole song and at the end we'd be like, I love you, sweetheart. And then somebody would awkwardly go, I think you have the wrong number. And we're like, I don't think so. I have it written down right here.
Starting point is 00:09:01 You know, and just go back and forth with these people that are being so sweet to this couple that clearly dialed the wrong number perfect because you're not going to interrupt someone no singing the song no and they sit through the whole thing oh that's amazing do you guys remember when it was so popular at chain restaurants to tell them it was your birthday and then you would get a free dessert i still do that i remember in high school our big thing was it was not someone's birthday but we desperately wanted a free dessert so we would always pick one person and not tell them and we would tell the waitress that that was the person's birthday and then all of a sudden here came like the parade of clapping and singing it never gets old that was like for one scoop of vanilla ice
Starting point is 00:09:53 cream with a candle and we were like we got you we got you you didn't even see that coming and we're all eating the dessert you're all sharing one scoop it chili's was a big one because they back then they'd bring you like the molten cake now they're i doubt they do that but that was a big one back pre-pandemic you get the molten cake i've always wanted to go to a restaurant by myself and then go up to the front counter and be like, hi, excuse me. I just want to let you know it's my birthday. And then go sit down and wait for them to surprise me with a big molten cake. You know, like I always picture myself at a Mexican restaurant with like a sombrero.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Because there's a restaurant in Texas that I used to go to when I was a kid. And you'd wear the sombrero on because there's a restaurant in texas that i used to go to when i was a kid and you'd wear the sombrero and they'd sing to you and so i was always imagining that prank happening by yourself by myself at the mexican restaurant wearing a sombrero with all standing around singing to me by myself you might get you might get a whole free meal that way they feel so bad for you i love that and then like posing by myself like could you take a picture of me please imagine being on you're on a plane and you say to this like the flight attendant excuse me it's my birthday can i meet the pilot so many moments all the perks of having a birthday i know yeah you get a free thing at starbucks too i think what do you get just you know are you gonna drink yeah you have to
Starting point is 00:11:33 go to starbucks member i do yeah you know why we'll edit that out yeah edit that out i go because they have one like snack box that is so nostalgic for me because it's like a peanut, a tiny peanut butter and jam sandwich, a string cheese, some carrots and some apple slices and some chocolate covered raisins. And I'm just like, I'm happy in my heart. You know, that sounds tasty. Yeah. Gross. I love a PB&J. Love a PB&J.

And it's peanut butter and jelly or strawberry jam and it's peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and strawberry jam no crust so it's the middle part of the sandwich
Starting point is 00:12:51 the best part the crust is that doogie butt fortune fortune marie emily fortune and it's frozen you can either take it out and let it just thaw or you can like put it in a microwave for like 20 seconds and my memory may pearl it is this is a tree in your mouth it's in

Oh, yeah. And I would sit in the breezeway of the dorm.

Starting point is 00:24:10 So kiss me. I would sing this for hours. I love John Denver. Was this around the time Armageddon came out? The movie Armageddon featured that song. Armageddon I don't think had come out yet. So I don't know how I got Peter, Paul, and Mary in my head. Oh, Peter, Paul, and Mary version.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Okay, I was thinking John Denver. No, I mean, I like the John Denver too, but I like the more folksy version. And just hours and hours of playing the song. How someone didn't come outside and been like, shut the F up. i don't know and smash that guitar and but i was doing it in my like girly voice so kiss me i'm small for me i'll be well i'll tell you why no one told you to shut up is because they were all looking out of the window laughing their faces off at this nerd out there.
Starting point is 00:25:07 So, yeah, that was... And then I took my... When I moved to Spain for a year, I was like, I'm going to take my guitar and become an amazing guitar player. And all it was was just like a difficult thing to travel with. I never played it.

Starting point is 00:34:50 Yeah. They could listen to Who put the bop in the bop-shoe-bop-shoe-bop? Who put the ram in the ding-a-ding-a-dong? Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong? Oh, my God. You know what would be so fun is if somebody, maybe if one of our listeners would put together a song
Starting point is 00:35:09 that connects all of those old type of noises and words. Oh, that would be good. Or I was thinking if they took us in this episode doing all our different bits. Ding-a-dee-ding-a-dong. And, like, remix them. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Now, you guys seem pretty musical tig so do you drums and you know a lot of music knowledge may plays guitar and sings do you think start a band no you sing don't you take terribly really but you're a drummer right and i play a bit of guitar a little bit of guitar now may you're but you may you go on stage and play con like shows right i've never done like a music show but at largo i sometimes do like uh with the musical guest i'll do a song with them but i'm putting an album out this year you are yeah like a wow like a serious earnest album that is so i shouldn't be saying this but it is so mediocre but i just don't care because i i truly just did it for me and it was so fun

Starting point is 00:37:06 Yeah. Thomas plays piano. I bring my guitar. Fortune sings. We've got to do this. Yeah. I'm serious. You would sing, too.
Starting point is 00:37:15 You could harmonize with Fortune. I could harmonize, yeah. I bet Thomas sings and can harmonize. Fortune can whore herself. I bet Thomas can whore himself into singing. What song would we sing? Yeah. Well, I think it has to be one of the songs in our
Starting point is 00:37:32 episodes that we've mentioned. Yeah. Like, Come to My Window for sure. That would be good. Thomas, you know how to play that on piano? I can learn. I've already got the vocals down. We know this. Oh, Leaving on a Jet Plane? I can learn. That's got to be just- I've already got the vocals down. We know this.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Oh, leaving on a jet plane? Oh my God. Come to my window. Fortune, are you okay? Okay, we got to do this. So kiss me. Oh my gosh. Smile for me.
Starting point is 00:38:00 That one. There is harmony in that, Mae. I could do it right now in the harmonies. I'm leaving on a jet plane. that one there is harmony in that may so i could do it right now in the harmonies we don't want to give it away we got yeah we don't want to scare people off not give it away you don't want to give away the milk for free this is gonna be an album i feel like they have a drum set maybe at dynasty i've seen one at dynasty too you're right yeah so i feel like we can just show up and then rock the house bang a drummer no rehearsal just no rehearsal this could be painful this would be one of those things where it's like funny for us and the audience
Starting point is 00:38:46 is like boy genius is like don't ever do that again boy genius is in the audience yeah yeah boy no boy genius just hears about it and it's like hey don't do that ever again please don't ever compare us so leave it on a jet plane come to my window come to my window what's another oh uh closer to fine closer to fine wait what about from in the beginning i'm trying to tell you something about my life like jimmy buffett or one of those old oh yeah like uh uh hamburger cheeseburger in paradise you don't have to tell me twice but may didn't know any of the songs i'm gonna have to learn that one. I like mine with... Let's not do this again. Tons of seven of french fries, potatoes. Because I'm thinking about that cold last week.
Starting point is 00:39:34 What about Grandma Got Run Over by Reindeer? Yes, yes. I wish that I could just pause time in life. If I could just pause time and the three of us had like a week, everyone else is frozen, you know, our lives are frozen and we just have a week to like, to get better at music.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Practice songs, hang out. No, guys. That's what you would, that's what you would do. If I could freeze time, I would practice grandma got run over by a reindeer. That was humiliating I just said I would pause time to hang out with you guys
Starting point is 00:40:07 For a week and you guys were like Anyway It just seems like such a super power Hard pass You're like a week Yeah That's what you've chosen With you two
Starting point is 00:40:22 God no That's why you've chosen the superpower. God, no. But he's like, never mind. I was joking. I was just testing you guys. I'm literally going to be able to stop time. And just sing with you two. No, but we'll freeze our lives it's just us three and nothing will be lost yeah i think i'll be busy fortune what about you no man
Starting point is 00:40:57 no one showed up to band practice for a week. Oh my God. Mae's just pacing around the studio waiting. God bless Mae. This is how you're going to use that ginormous superpower. And even though you guys are not frozen and the rest of the world is frozen, you're still not choosing to hang out
Starting point is 00:41:22 with the only other un-frozen. I'm finally ordering dining room chairs this is ah this is humiliating okay it's going to be so great oh my god i can't like i really thought you guys were gonna be on board with me i truly thought you guys were going to be on board with me here. I truly thought you guys were going to be like, finally. We were like, yeah, we're going to get so good. I was truly in my mind thinking, why? I truly was like, finally, seven days of uninterrupted hangout time with these two. And I'm thinking, what could we solve in the world? Why would we do that? While time has stopped for seven days.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Thomas, are you down? Yeah, for sure. Okay, me and Thomas hanging out seven days straight. Let's stop time together, Mae. Y'all are going to have one heck of an album. I will have solved some world issues. Fortune and I are just going to be back out in the world, sitting in traffic and doing all the stuff
Starting point is 00:42:21 that we would have preferred to do over spending a week with Mae, singing Peter, Paul, and Mary songs. You're like, again, we're like, oh my God, how many times are we going to sing this song? We got time, guys. But guys, we have seven and six and a half more days. Literally nothing else going on and our loved ones aren't bugging us to come home.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Should we share a bed wouldn't that be nice guys i'm making pancakes god bless may god bless buns i would love it well let's hear what um cra Craig had to say. Very curious to hear, actually, what Craig said. I would go. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ba.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Oh. See? That makes sense. He went really high and then low. Yeah. I think he just kind of wanted to show his range. That final note was sort of sexy. It was like a little like.
Starting point is 00:43:34 He kind of was competing with Tig's pod. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. People do ask who is that deep voice on the Handsome Pod song, and it is Tiz I. i was about to say it was tis you gather round tis tig tis tis i tis i pod he was in that vein it does make me want to have another gathering and invite craig okay so you're hanging out with Craig and practicing music, but you don't want to hang out for seven days with me?
Starting point is 00:44:08 Let me be clear. One party, one night. Okay. Everyone go home. I'm definitely the person that's like, okay, I'm starting to clean things up. While people are still, you know. Letting people know it's time to go.
Starting point is 00:44:24 See, when I'm cleaning up, that does not indicate that it means it's time to go. See, when I'm cleaning up, that does not indicate that it means it's time to go. Really? No, no, not at all. Oh, you're just trying to be clean? I just like to, I'm the kind of person where in the kitchen with cooking, I immediately clean up after myself.
Starting point is 00:44:40 And as soon as people finish eating at the dining room table, I start clearing the plates. But I always say, like, I'm not rushing you. I'm just clearing the plates. Yeah. It's always kind of stressful. Can anyone relate to this? On Christmas, when you're opening presents with your family, and someone starts aggressively cleaning up all the wrapping paper and tissue.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I do that. You do? And, like, shoving it into a plastic bag. And you're like, okay, I guess this is over yeah yeah no Stephanie and I are both exactly the same and we always crack up because if we have people over for dinner the entire house is clean and dishes are done and everything is in place food is in the refrigerator leftovers are in the refrigerator and we laugh because as soon as somebody walks out the door we just turn the light off and go up oh wow because you're you clean it while they're still there yeah that's
Starting point is 00:45:39 so funny yeah and every time we die laughing because truly the whole house is in order that's why and there's not a sign that there was anybody over for dinner they walk out the door we shut it lights are off and we set the alarm and we go what are you gonna do if when they're if when they're teenagers max and finn are messy. Little dirty birds. I guess you can let them have their bedrooms. There's something important, I think, about having autonomy over your room when you're a teenager. So maybe they can be filthy in their rooms.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah, well, I mean, Finn already has the cleaning bug. Oh, he's into it? And he goes in and organizes Max's room. But they're also at an age now where they're shutting their bedroom door when they go in there. And then they have little signs that they've now put on their doors that say, do not enter. And then if you do, you have to sign your name in. Oh, my God. That's wicked.
Starting point is 00:46:42 You can't casually go into Max and Finnn's bedrooms anymore wow unless you sign in and sign out apply for a pass via a complicated app system true it truly is how do they know that you're signing in do you be like i'm signing no you have to wait till they give the okay you know okay yeah and then you when they agree to let you in then you have to sign the uh the little stick it note yeah yeah okay so it's looking like they're not going to be sloppy teens they're going to be well max you know i don't max is um you know when you tell him to clean his room everything's shoved under his bed and behind a chair and on the closet floor and assumes
Starting point is 00:47:28 you'll never notice that when you go in to inspect his work that's what I was yeah I was really messy as a teenager how'd we get onto this? because of it lets us have a ban of a shooby doo doo doo
Starting point is 00:47:45 that naturally leads you it lets us have a band what's the name of our band? handsome? I guess it's handsome or the pretty little ladies handsome the band like man genius instead of boy genius pretty little lady geniuses? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Have you heard about this scientist made a discovery about diarrhea? Turns out it's in your genes. Oh, okay. You like that? Good one. Good one. Max and Finn might like that.
Starting point is 00:48:22 What's the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts? What? One is $1.99 and the other one is under a buck. Oh, boy. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I have one that's not as quick. Let's hear it. It's my favorite joke. This couple is in bed, middle of the night, completely asleep. Somebody knocks on their door. It's like 2 or 3 in the morning. And the husband gets out of bed. Yes, this is a hetero joke.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Okay, still on board. Husband gets out of bed, goes to the door, comes back to bed. And his wife said, who was that? And he said, I just, it was a stranger. And she said, what did they want? And he said, they were asking me if I'd give them a push. And she was like, and what did you say? And he said, well, I said, no. And she said, well, why'd you say no? I mean, imagine if we needed something and we needed a push in the middle of the night. And he was like, okay. So he gets up, gets dressed, he goes to the door, opens the door and he yells into the darkness. Hey, are you still out there?
Starting point is 00:49:40 And the guy's like, yeah. And he said, do you still need a push and he said yeah and he goes where are you and he said i'm over here on the swing good one oh come on that is good i love the long setup too. It's like, yeah, that's really good. It's so good. It's my favorite joke. You hear about the multi-story parking lot? It's just wrong on so many levels. Okay. I don't think I set that up properly.
Starting point is 00:50:18 That's one that needed a longer narrative. Well, have I told you max's joke no why the chicken crossed the road oh wait this rings a bell yeah let's hear it let's hear it again to take a two-hour dump that's my kind of joke tell them the diarrhea joke i think that's my audience well they'd have to know what genes are oh that's true yeah yeah okay so today explain genetics to them yeah can you go through that and then in like three days you can hit them okay okay well this was a delightful episode and it feels like we've reached the end is how i feel i feel like there's a natural ending here yeah all right well you know i'm on the last leg of my live laugh love tour this coming weekend i'm doing a big show in los angeles it's my only hour show i'm doing in la at the theater at the ace
