breathe and speak well i mean you're only what, 38?
36.
36. Oh, my God.
A baby.
I haven't had time to learn how to speak and breathe at the same time.
I'm 25.
This is crazy.
This is crazy.
I can rent a car.
I can rent a car for the first time.
It's pretty exciting.
Can you not rent a car before 25?
No.
You're kidding.
25 is the age that her parents gave. Oh, yeah. No, it really is. That's the rule. 25? No. You're kidding. 25 is the age that her parents gave.
Oh, yeah.
No, it really is.
That's the rule.
25.
I,
the only reason I want to get
my driver's license
is to like rent a car
and go on road trips
and drive my friends.
So now I'm like,
maybe I wait.
But you're old enough.
You're old enough.
You are old enough.
Wait.
I was more concerned
that you need to learn
how to drive.
Wait. Walk us through how that happened i was thinking i i truly thought you're well past yeah i could okay so i could yeah you can
rent a car no canadians are only they have to be 37 i think i thought maybe the gap was like you have to be driving a certain number of years
oh interesting but I also must think of myself as 21 maybe that was crazy that was a really genuine
that was a reveal is that the age you feel like you are I've have two eight like I feel like we've
talked about I feel perpetually like 13 braces long hair um monstr monstrous. That person can't drive a car.
That person cannot.
But they would be blasting third eye blind, let me tell you.
Third eye blind?
Yeah, big time.
Okay.
Wow.
Yeah.
And imagining I was like the male singer.
I used to, I had long hair, braces, acne.
And I was like, I am.
By choice?
Yeah.
I was like, got to get the whole picture.
And I was so obsessed with all these men.
And I would have these fantasies where I would be singing like,
I don't want to miss a thing.
Like a male thing, but I would imagine grown men in the audience
watching me with boners.
Oh, interesting.
Have I said this before?
You've said something about Third Eye Blind before.
I feel like you give off the vibe of that the boner part the boner
part is new fortune dang i'm just repeating that well don't repeat that word do you think if we
went on a cross-country driving road trip like fun right put on the list actually thomas who
would be in charge of like the playlist and would we all agree on?
We would have to rotate the playlist.
Okay.
I'd be in charge.
I think that's true.
Yeah.
I'd be in charge.
You'd be holding the map.
Okay.
Because we can't use GPS.
We can't?
No.
Not even Waze?
No.
We'd have to bring a paper map.
Wow.
And you can't drive.
At every passing car.
I can't drive because-
What are you doing?
I'm winking at
people high-fiving i'm doing it all yeah what's they doing i really want to drive you're saying
you're singing some tunes you're singing we're both singing i know you're putting our suitcases
in the car oh i can lift the suitcases and then strong yeah during the drive i'm kind of boners over there you have given everyone a boner
because the show turned into i'm in the car giving everyone boners no i'm driving so does that mean
if you're the playlist are you in the front nobody's driving well maybe we should bring
thomas thomas thomas is driving thomas is driving because you're i don't know i can be in the front seat. Well, nobody's driving. Well, maybe we should bring Thomas. Thomas is driving. Thomas is driving because you're navigating.
I can be in the back seat.
I don't mind.
Bossing us around?
Isn't the passenger person
the boss?
Yeah, backseat driver
is the boss.
You have a backseat, right?
Okay.
But will you be navigating
from the back?
I'm worried that I...
Well, no, actually,
I'm pretty good with directions.
Yeah, I would do that.
Yeah, sure.
I'll navigate from the back.
With a compass,
like a physical compass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah yeah and a map from a gas station yes i don't even know how to use it whenever we get lost then we have to pull over to a gas station and ask and get
snacks no ask directions and get snacks but in the car i'm just like on my phone texting or something
we need you to be of use to us.
I could compliment Tig's music choices in a very obsequious way.
Just like, I love this one.
And where did you first hear this?
Now, are we live streaming any of this?
Or is this for us?
May could be in charge of that.
We'll probably need to turn it into a documentary.
Oh, yeah.
Also, you could be flexing your muscles.
I have been.
I have been.
You've been lifting weights weights i just ruined any like
coolness i would have had by the level of excitement in my voice i'm like it happens

It's been raining a lot.
Yeah.
But you know how you go up in increment and you're happy?
I do know how I do this.
Yeah, yeah.
Tig has no idea about this.
Well, I don't go up in increments.
I just do it for an hour straight.
Oh, really?
I had to work my way up.
But Tig, it is Tig's thing. And i had to work my way up but take it is tig things and now you've

solar panels you know get to know you better it's so funny how you are on to you like you
you know dates and amounts of money and uh you know you're like you're very business-minded
you are business you're organized you're the of the three of us like stephanie really pointed
that out to me really after our live show yeah she was like you know fortune just like
gets up and confidently shakes hands and like you know and i was like well that's
wait jack's boss this This is positive, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
But wait, did I not get up and did we were just sitting there?
I don't know what we were doing.
Wait, who was I shaking hands with?
Oh, like the people that came in.
I see.
Yeah.
The people that were like, hello, handsome pod.
We might want to.
Right, right.
Because we were all kind of sitting there like do do do.
And I was like, yeah, it occurred to me. I was like, oh, I should like give Right, right. Because we were all kind of sitting there like, doo doo doo. And I was like, it occurred to me,
I was like, oh, I should like give a proper hello.
Well, we had Biggie backstage.
That was really exciting.
That was an honor.
He's my baby.
I have this nice camera.
And you remember I was taking all these pictures of Biggie
and in my mind, they were gonna turn out like
these beautiful like National Geographic portraits.
And they came out and they're just like so much flash.
And he's just like, what?
Is it like his eyeballs? flash and he's just like
Cuter in person like you don't get his magic unless you see him right there up close. It's also like I don't like little dogs that feel fragile and he's like proper like you could hug him like yeah
He's just like he's a little bit hardy little legs. Yeah, he's good. Oh, see I like you guys even more now because you appreciate my son
are the cats on our road trip it's not fluff it was linus who oh yeah are the cats on our road
trip yeah of course okay oh god are they in a carrier no just roaming in a small sedan oh my god we're not even in a van no we are in a small
oh no okay i don't have that kind of cash trying to think about what size book bag do i bring
book bag you guys don't carry book bags i travel books no like a what do you call it
no like naps a backpack a backpack what did i call it a book bag yeah a book bag like
whatever backpack a book bag is like a cycle i imagine oh is it i've never heard i thought a
book bag was also the same thing as a backpack when we're on this road trip like when i would
go with my parents like we'd have big arguments about navigation and stuff like do you think that's gonna happen i hope we don't fight i don't feel upset with either of you but i guess anything could happen remember when may that one
time said i hope that we go past april you remember saying that when was that like podcast
at one point you said that like two weeks ago didn't may say that yeah like well hopefully we
go past april are you serious
it was something random i are picturing this into our retirement years and may's like i hope we
make this at easter time like eating cheesecake together that's really funny but then i also
said confidently that if i could pause time i'd like to spend a week with just with you guys true
you guys were like, we're busy.
Yeah, I don't remember us feeling similarly,
but I would want to spend some of that time with you for sure.
Yeah, like a long weekend.
Then I'd want to also sleep.
A long weekend.
I'd also want to sleep. You're going to want to sleep over the week.
Catch up on some rest.
How can I sleep when I could be bonding with my friends?
Okay, be honest.
I love to sleep. to go on a road trip

four of us finna max thinks that we're your best friends well they ask

yeah okay yeah i had to explain to him well no i don't care about them that deeply but i like them a lot and um but uh but yeah if if we went on a a road trip with mr
thomas yeah in a small sedan yeah with heavy luggage in the trunk that may carry visceral i
can almost smell the sedan yeah yeah how long does this last yeah how long is the trip a week
i could do it what if we do a lot we did a long weekend may

me out though like you don't have to drive i know but still it's a very you just have to be in the
car flexing does anyone get car sick no okay good no i don't think jack's gets car sick but
she's the she there's no room in the sedan no we got our ladies will be at home you know yeah we
gotta bring two cats a dog with three cats your book bag is three cats your book bag is my problem
taking up a whole your book bag is like in the books. Not a single book in there.
We'll probably have to get one of those racks on the top.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For your book bag.
Okay.
And one of the cats.
How about this?
Holiday weekend.
So it's an extra day.
Which holiday?
Christmas?
Memorial Day.
Let's go for Christmas.
Let's spend Christmas together.
Let's spend Christmas.
Memorial Day or the 4th of July weekend because my birthday is July 1st.
We could celebrate all of these things.
So do we ever arrive at a destination
or we're just driving?
Sounds like we're just going to like Big Barren back
or something.
Never getting out.
I feel like we're aimlessly driving.
I think we get tired.
Are we going to the Phoenix?
Somewhere tropical.
Phoenix or somewhere tropical like that palm springs palm springs would be good
i would do two hours yeah we want well three solid days of driving oh we have to drive the
whole time we can't at some point end up yeah i guess we can stay at like a resort a motel
roadside motel why does that have to be a motel well we are we are on a budget. Okay. Oh. Also, I feel like I would eventually get tired of you flexing.
Yeah, me too.
So you can flex at the cars going by.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'll just turn my back to you.
Or you can put me on the rack on top and I can just pose.
And we could do a sign of like, if you want to see more of this, follow us.
Oh, yeah.
We should be promoting the podcast during this road trip.
Well, Thomas will have a megaphone out the window.
We have a great plan, guys.
It's pretty good.
And we know if Fortune gets annoyed at us, we just compliment Biggie,
and then it warms.
Why would you be annoyed with us?
What's your problem?
Sounds like you guys are pretty entertaining.
That's enough flexing over there, Mae.
Like that?
Is that your?
Who was that?
Was that you or Tig?
Yeah, it was me angry.
Is that you angry?
I guess in this scenario.
Listen here, Jax.
Listen here.
I'm pretty chill on a road trip.
You suddenly became like a bad guy from Scooby-Doo.
Yeah.
He's crazy. on a road trip yeah you suddenly became like a bad guy from scooby-doo yeah i would only be ornery
if i couldn't start the morning with some sort of espresso situation if i like once i wake up
and i've shot i do like to shower in the morning i'm a morning shower person i get like right when
you wake up you yeah i get up before. Before coffee? Yeah, before coffee. Whoa.
I go straight to the shower.
I get off all the night sweats.
I don't know if I have any. Oh my God.
And then I go straight for my espresso machine.
So as long as I have those two things, I'm in a good mood.
And have you looked at your phone before all this?
I like glance at it a little bit, but I'm not like knee deep in it yet.
And while you're in the shower, you're listening to our podcast.
Yeah, probably.
Do you ever take a bath or is it always a shower?
Oh, I love a bath.
Okay.
Not in the mornings though.
That's more of a like if I'm on the road.
Yeah.
And I'm by myself and the room has a bathtub.
I'm like, all right.
Yeah.
Get out those bath salts, baby.
We're going to have some me time. What about bubbles? I love a bubble. I love a bathtub. I'm like, all right. Yeah. Get out those bath salts, baby. We're going to have some me time.

This whole thing has been a setup.
I love a bath.
They're great.
Oh, I love.
Some people hate, think they're just like sitting in their own dirty water, which is also true, but that's what's wrong with that.
Yeah, what's wrong with that?
It's like my dirty water. Yeah, yeah, yeah.. Yeah, what's wrong with that? It's my dirty water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stephanie and I
take baths together though.
Oh, tell us more.
Really?
Yeah.
That's so nice.
You and Parvati don't?
We tried the other night
and we're like
instantly too hot
and just like
not enough room
and it was like
kind of sexy for a minute
and then I was like
all right, I'm gonna go.
Oh my gosh.
We get in the tub together
all the time.
This is the content everybody's been waiting for.
This is great.
Come in a little closer.
Bubbles?
Oh, bubbles, bath salts.
Candles?
Maybe some candles.
One time, I think I told you about when we tried to have.
TMI.
No, continue.
We're good.
Have I told you my feeling about TMI? No, continue. We're good. Have I told you my feeling about TMI?
Oh, no.
Well, TMI stands for too much information.
Yeah.
And yet, TMI gives barely any information.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Something to think about.
Continue about the bath.
There's a lot of people on the edge of their seats right now.
Yeah, so.
Well, that's all.
We just sit in our filthy water.
And then what? We towel off. And then what? We're still in the bath right now yeah so that's all we just we sit in our filthy water and then what
and we towel off and then we're still in the bath right now yeah wait are you guys
making it no we we sit we chat we chat with friends on the hands are you reading books
no we chat we sit and chat and um do you bring your book bag into the bathroom before you
yeah i don't have a book bag i'll be honest with you i just have a
clutch a little please god get a clutch but see our small you two can fit in a tub easily well
but we still are grown people and our legs are all right where there's moments in the bath where
we're like oh can you move your leg well sorry i you know there's those little moments but we like
to do that before bed and then i don't know if i
mentioned this on this show or not but my brother collects whiskey and he sent fancy whiskey so we
were like okay um maybe we'll when we take one of our baths we could have a little whiskey when we
are in the tub yeah and so we did that and i took a sip of whiskey and i was like
that good stuff is so strong really so strong because it's a high alcohol
and from the heat and i had to get out of the tub i like jumped out of the tub
that sounds hardcore it's like 110 proof or something i ran to our bed and I was like oh god
Stephanie's still in the tub like
what happened
it's always like
it's so sexy at first
but then when one person has to
clamber out of the bath you can't
be sexy during it you become this
spider monkey
it's true like when one person gets out first yeah b-hole is that
better i'm sorry in front of your what do you not know how to not do that no you can't sidestep out
i'm lucky to get out of there alive sometimes your b-hole is in full view well who can't you
marry to this person i know but
do they want to see yeah that's what she married you for i don't know if that was just that solely
for that not are you but i would have assumed that you're you guys were big into baths together
that's surprising that you were like i'm gonna get to get out of here. No, I just hop in the cold shower and towel off and then start lifting weights.
Is that amazing?
We did, I wish I was that guy.
We did, we have had a couple,
but no, I think in previous relationships,
I've been more into baths.
I had a romantic like Valentine's Day bath
with someone who then farted in the bath so loud
and then laughed so hard.
And we, I was so thrilled. And I was so thrilled.
Like I was crying laughing and she was so,
it was like she turned it into like a jacuzzi.
Like it was a really significant.
Do you want to name names?
She might appreciate the shout out.
She loves naming names.
I feel like I'm scared.
Well, I think she would stand by this.
This was like a recurring problem.
For me, it was a delight.
It's a recurring problem for you because I feel like you've had a lot of tutors.
Of tutors.
Yeah.
I have actually.
May has tutors.
Wait, what?
What was that?
I was trying to make a joke.
May has.
Some people have suitors.
I got tutors.
But May has tutors.
I liked it.
Thank you for allowing me to do you
want to say it again say it one more time but really sell it some people have suitors may has
tutors really i was better you should close your next special with that i'm writing it down okay
you don't need to you'll never forget that it's good go ahead oh i don't need to. You'll never forget that. It's good. Go ahead. Oh, I don't know.
I dated someone who I won't name who would pour gallons of apple cider vinegar into the bath.
And it smelled like vinegar so strongly.
And she was like, it's good for like your pH or something.
I was like, who told you this?
I thought you'd drink it.
Yeah, well, then she'd be in the bath then she'd gargle the no the apple cider vinegar the one that's in the bathtub yeah
yeah yeah drink it and uh oh no and i broke up like the next day right i would have did it there
it was not get out you weirdo that's wild you filthy weirdo. That is wild. She flew in to visit me one time, and I was like-
And she brought her apple cider vinegar with her?
I was like, I got to order some to be ready for her.
You know the things you normalize when you're dating someone?
You're like, oh, and then she has the vinegar bath.
So you were just like, were y'all both in the tub and she drank it?
I never got in the-
Okay.
She would try to encourage- I got sick once.
I got a cold.
She was like, you got to do the vinegar thing.
Did her pH...
She smelled fine?
There was this...
Yeah, she smelled great, but...
She smelled fine?
There was a slight vinegar...
She smelled like vinegar?
...essence in the apartment after the bath, but...
This is...
She smelled great, yeah.
I've never heard of someone being in a bath with apple cider vinegar...
And drinking.
...and they just get a cup and just
i don't think there was a cup i think it was like hands hands this was like when i when i
caught her i love that fortune pictured her with a little ladle like a ladle yeah a little spoon
yeah hands this is like primitive i don. I've never seen fortune this much.
I can't get over this.
Yeah.
And I love that you were like, I got your apple cider vinegar for this.
Wait, primitive how?
I was really, I don't know.
I don't even think it's primitive.
I just think it's like beastly.
You think it's beastly?
Yeah.
Beastly.
Let's see a picture of this one.
I was really infatuated and just kind of was like yeah okay all right that's pretty weird but
cool and then this person hot i'll show you after see this is the problem we let hot people get away
with weird stuff i think someone needs to start telling hot people that not everything's okay
i remember one time though i had to go loud and clear i had to go to work and i left her like in the vinegar bath
and then so i came back she'd left in the evening and she'd written she'd done like in a rom-com
written on my mirror with lipstick a message to me which a so hard to get off your mirror after
like and also she had spelt my name wrong and we had been dating for months how did she spell your name may i know i'm speechless i know
i know well i hate to ruin this conversation about apple vinegar but we have a very special um oh my
god today that i feel like we should we do we cannot wait any longer because i'm on the edge
of my seat this is we have been behind the scenes talking about this
and the potential of this happening since the beginning,
putting pressure on Tig to make this a reality.
There has been a lot of pressure on me.
Yes.
And I was willing to step in and ask if it didn't work out for you to ask.
I was not because I don't know this person.
I do know this person.
But you've seen her in things. Oh, this person i do know but you've seen her
and things oh i've seen her work i've seen her work um and i'm a deep fan so this is huge okay
well and here's what's fun not only like you put pressure on me yeah but guess what guess who else
was putting pressure on her who her private chef no What? Huge fan of handsome.
No way.
Huge fan.
Can we?
Okay, this might be a little forward.
I know we haven't gotten to our guest yet.
We know who it is.
Should we ask her?
If you want to follow up to see if we should come over for dinner at some point? I should probably see if her chef wants to make handsome dinner.
But at Jen's house.
Well, you just revealed who it is.
Well, it...
No, people don't know.
People don't...
Well, nobody will know who Jen is
until I explain that it's Jennifer Aniston.
What?
Oh, my God.
What an exciting day on the handsome pod.
You've filmed with her. I have. You were in a very funny scene that i remember thinking
that was a great scene office christmas party we had a i like to call it iconic

crazy that we met in New Orleans. So we're at the wedding. Her spouse partner was in the wedding.
Okay. And so she was just like, Hey, come sit by me because we had been talking briefly. And I was
like, Okay, yeah, sure. And then we had such a nice time. And then, then at dinner, she was like okay yeah sure and then we had such a nice time and then
then at dinner she was like come sit by me at dinner and i was like yeah and um yeah because
when you're uh i mean i guess we say jennifer aniston um there's the big reveal i already said
it oh yeah you missed the big reveal the camera i think i don't know which camera did you how did
i miss that well because i think i was still thinking about the apple cider vinegar bath yeah when you're dinner aniston you can just move a
place card and put someone else arrangement yeah yeah sat by her I did and we had such a fun time
that weekend and I left thinking well that was so fun and she's so nice and but I wasn't thinking
I'm sure we're probably going to be pals yeah and then I went out to lunch with my agent and
he was like what went on with you and Jennifer Aniston last weekend and I was like you're like
what I said I we were at a wedding what are are you talking about? And he said, her agent called me and said, Jen wanted to work with you.
Oh, that's so cool.
And I was like, really?
Yeah.
I was so thrown off because I was just like, oh, that was just a fun moment in time.
And then, you know, I think sometimes when people are as well known as Jen there can be those that you know just maybe you find out they're not as
friendly or whatever and then with her I was like Stephanie and I always marvel over
just the kindness that she exudes with strangers with fans with with friends anyone that comes in her door you know she's just so
uh anyway and then yeah working with her um has been uh a real treat yeah i love that i don't
know why i didn't get her phone number this is weird well i have never met her but when lisa kudrow who's my friend and the best was uh
promoting my show feel good she did like an actors on actors interview with jennifer aniston
and jennifer aniston said that i was beautiful oh in the clip we've never met she was like
oh yeah and that person's like so beautiful i isolated the clip i went into i movie i isolated
the clip yeah i thought i sent the clip to everyone i knew yeah it really i wrote i was high
off that for a couple of high praise she did do an impression of me once i think i isolated that
video that's really good did she nail it she did a very good job yeah yeah you know her from friends you know her from the morning show you know her you love her it is our dear friend jennifer aniston it's jen aniston here
i love each and every one of you by the way i have to say that and pardon the stain on my shirt
um okay here's my question have you ever been to a psychic or a medium, mediums talk to dead people,
that said something that absolutely blew your mind,
that you couldn't believe they got?
Ungoogleable information.
That is my question.
She's the best.
Name a more likable person.
I mean, she is very likable.
She just gets more beautiful with age.
I mean, I know we're gushing at this point.
I'm actually gushing from menopause.
Oh, okay.
Do you want to take the blazer?
Yeah, I'm going to take the blazer off.
Get it off. Come on now now i like a psychic situation i have not talked to one in a while but there was a time in my life
where like once every like four months i called a psychic once every four months what was it
because you're waiting on love kind of thing i I think so, yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, I was really into it.
You were just like, where's Jax?
I was like, give me all the information you can.
And what were you saying to her?
Like, who is my partner going to be?
Or what can I do?
Yeah, just like, career stuff was not happening.
Okay.
Love stuff was not happening.
And it was just kind of, you know, I need answers.
Was your psychic like, hey, fortune?
Yeah, like, oh my God.
I got Christmas cards from the psychic.
No way.
For like three years.
I haven't done it to loan some fortune.
Honestly, since I met Jax, I have not talked to a psychic.
It's really weird that this question is coming now.
It's a little spooky because I've just been DMing
with a psychic medium who's a fan of
Handsome Pod and it popped up and I followed her and then I DMed.
I was like, hey, do you have any sessions available?
And she's super booked up, but I just liked her vibe.
So my grandma went to see a psychic after her boyfriend died and she was really like,
I just want to talk to this love of my life.
And it was in England and it was this psychic medium who didn't charge.
He was just like burdened by the gift.
And so I kind of trust that.
Was it a man?
It was a man.
Because I was just about to ask, are psychics ever men?
Definitely they are.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
And she goes in and she sits down and he's like, okay, your father's here.
And she was like, I don't want to talk to my father.
I'm looking for my boyfriend.
And her father died when she was like four or something.
And he's like, yeah, your boyfriend's like busy, I guess.
Hooking up with someone else.
Or he's like, your boyfriend's not here.
Or he's, you know, down there.
Oh, God.
Fortune.
He didn't make it up there.
Don't even talk like that.
Don't even suggest such a thing.
Don't talk about my grandma's boyfriend like that.
Yeah.
I can't with you.
Then he could be down there.
So then he goes, you're...
Stop looking at me, Tig.
Go on, man.
I apologize.
I apologize for Tig. Tig's still keeping an eye on you. Go on, man. I apologize. I apologize for Tig.
Tig's still keeping an eye on you.
He's in heaven.
We know this.
Okay.
And then the father's there.
And then she's like, okay, well, I got nothing to say to my father.
I barely knew him.
And the psychic says, he wants me to tell you that he's sorry he yelled at you for when
you brushed his top hat fabric the wrong way.
And that's the only memory of her father that she had.
What?
How specific is that?
Oh, because he probably knew that
and he didn't want that to be her only memory
and it'd be bad.
Isn't that crazy?
That is wild.
That is wild.
He should be charging.
He should be charging.
That was a long time ago, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. And I'm sorry, this was your grandmother's experience with a psychic?
Yeah.
Oh, because Jen's question was our experience with a psychic.
Oh my God.
This is so rare.
Oh my God.
Yeah, you're right.
But it's always someone else with ghosts and stuff.
It's always a friend.
Someone else always has a cool story.
I'm trying to remember if there was a specific thing that came true.
I think I went so much that all the information just rolled together.
Yeah.
So when you would pop up, when you're like, hey, it's me again.
She's like, what is it?
Anything on the horizon.
Sometimes it was on the phone. it wasn't on zoom or no but this was pre-zoom because this is a while ago this would have been
like 10 or 11 years ago yeah skype facetime how insane is it that skype missed the boat i know
like they were all teed up they were on they were doing it cutting edge and then a pandemic hits and zoom's like we
got it yeah it's weird that's a good point i miss it i miss the sound the beep beep beep
right i don't remember the sound but i i i just it i'm it bothers me that i you know skype is like
we had it in the bag i know know. Like, wait, what happened?
I know.
Well, since we're telling other people's psychic stories.
I should know.
I had her in an interview with Ellen.
Why are you pointing at me?
You're gay, too.
You're friends with Ellen.
You're gay, too.
She did finger guns at you, too.
Ellen did an interview where she was told by a psychic
that she would
would get finding nemo no and that that would be the thing that like turned everything around and
so how is this story ellen told you or you read it in people magazine ellen has told me no stories
because i have follow-up questions but i feel like you don't have the answers i don't have the
answers so don't ask it was an interview i'm sure that I'm not making this up.
That Ellen did.
I can't remember on what.
Who cares if you're making it up?
Like, why are you telling me?
This is like when you tried to tell us the whole plot of that Western TV show.
But you were like, and then he's in his family.
Because I honestly can't think of a specific thing a psychic told me so I was like well I know
someone I don't like know or know her I just read it who had that experience in the early 2000s I
think Ellen went to it did what if I show Ellen this episode and you're on here talking about
no I it resonated with me because I remember thinking, God, I wish I knew who that psychic was.
So you could get a call and get a reading.
Get an animation gig.
Yeah.
Hopefully mine's on the horizon.
Now I don't have the need as much.
I think I was looking for answers, you know?
I want to talk to dead relatives and friends.
I would like to talk to my grandmother
the Long Island medium
yeah the Long Island medium
and she does it with an accent
let me tell you something
I have your grandmother here
here's what she wanted you to know
more please
your grandmother says
that bottle on the counter
don't even worry about it that happened it wasn't your fault you're good she's great Your grandmother says that, you know, that bottle on the counter.
Don't even worry about it.
That happened.
It wasn't your fault.
You're good.
She's great.
And I want you to have peace.
Okay?
You know what I mean?
I like when they go to like a stadium of people.
I'm getting the letter R.
Is there someone who needs a letter R?
A thousand people.
What do you mean a stadium of people?
She goes on tour. They're like those mega churches yeah and people go and they do like crossing over with john edwards remember him

i've talked to jen's oh i like that yeah oh because she has one she has someone that that
she goes to famous a lot of famous people have a side have like a good one yeah like that doesn't
advertise publicly like no yeah yeah yeah because i think i heard in an interview Oh my god You need to stop

Okay okay
And Stephanie and I both did
A session with this psychic What do you think a psychic. Okay, okay. And Stephanie and I both did a session
with this psychic.
What'd you think?
I mean, even if it's not real,
it gets you to think about
yourself and your life.
I don't know, man.
I think it's...
So wait, none of us have a story?
Oh, well, I did have a psychic.
Wait, is this an interview
you read with Drew Barrymore?
No, I did.
My very first psychic ever
yeah i had just come out and she told me i was bisexual oh no way i was like click
first of all i love the laugh you just did fortune just looked at me and went
click okay girl i was like whatever you're gonna say
after this is kind of
like I don't know
the government and CIA and stuff used
psychics until like the 70s or 80s
oh for serial killers
like in wars
100%
like that book the men who stare at
goats like they were conducting
psychic experiments until
so recently and then they just i think it just got a bad pr and they stopped but i love a psychic
i would go tomorrow if i knew of a good one i don't trust the psychics with the neon signs
okay if you're that good even if they have a crystal ball in the window yeah yeah because
if you're that good did i tell you
about psychic sonia neon sign yeah in toronto psychic sonia next time you're there you got to
go just to experience the charlatan the fraudulent charlatan that psychic sonia is you will die you
go like miss cleo you go on she's famous no tiny little shop with a neon sign you go she's now
famous yeah psychic sonia is going to be huge i went in with my best with a neon sign you go in now famous yeah psychic Sonia's gonna be
huge I went in with my best friend Joe and we go in and there's smoke she's smoking inside all the
windows closed and in the background weirdly she's watching a documentary exposing fake psychics
so I don't know this is like I'm serious it's in your psyche it was yeah and then she gives she's
like what do you want like she's annoyed that we then she gives she's like, what do you want?
Like, she's annoyed that we came in.
Yeah.
She's like, OK, act like she doesn't want it.
She tells me I'm going to meet my husband in Australia.
She's trying to establish my gender like the whole time being like, and so you are friends.
What is this?
She's like, I really need to get to the bottom of all of this.
And then my friend Joe was like, I guess I want to know, like people give me advice a lot.
And I try to, and sometimes I don't want to do what they say, but should I like listen to people more?
Like my friend, she goes, what do you mean?
He's like, I don't know.
Like I don't drink hot beverages.
I don't like coffee.
And people are always like drink.
She's like, what do you mean you don't drink coffee?
He's like, I don't know.
She goes, you need to drink coffee every morning. Two sugars, two milk. You need to drink coffee. She's like, what do you drink? she's like what do you mean you don't drink coffee he's like i don't know she goes you need to drink coffee every morning two sugars two milk you need to drink
coffee she's like what do you drink he's like water juice i don't know she's like you gotta
drink coffee she was like outraged and then she said your friends are not your friends they're
lying to you and they make fun of you behind your back was that she was a total crazy fraudster
and neon sign neon sign psychic so maybe she's not going to be popular now that
i think people have to go for the experience because she she was so full of contempt and
disdain for us it was really remarkable we recorded it do you guys remember miss cleo
oh yeah well i saw the documentary oh there's a documentary there is is it good um it's it's good what was her catchphrase um there was what's uh
she was like jamaican yeah or please don't do it maybe she wasn't maybe she i think i remember in
the documentary wait what happened i just said please don't do it it felt like i'm feeling every I'm nailing every accent. Launch into. Not just your jersey. I think that she maybe pretended to be Jamaican.
Oh, that was fake too.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
I don't even know it's real anymore.
Yeah, her name might not even have been Sonia for real.
But not one of us have had a psychic experience
that really stands out as being like,
oh, they told me this thing and it,
and did you know that like three weeks later that happened i do have one that i was present for but wasn't for me let's hear it i'm all about that okay secondhand news wait wasn't that miss cleo's
catchphrase let's hear it i'm all about there is a catchphrase, though. Yeah, there is. That can be it. What is it? Call me. Oh, yeah, but I won't do the accent.
It's call me now, but okay.
I'm with, I'm maybe eight.
No, it's already falling apart.
I'm 10.
And I'm with my dad, and we're in Brighton,
that seaside town in England.
And there's a pier, and it's the 90s,
and it's kind of an old school pier still. And there's a little pier and it's the 90s and kind of an old school pier still.
And there's a little caravan that says psychic.
And it truly looks like it's out of The Wizard of Oz.
My kids just watched that yesterday.
For the first time?
No.
And we actually went and saw The Wiz live production here in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Oh, I got to take.
Yeah.
Okay, great.
Okay, so we go in and my dad's like
he used to be very mystical but he's sort of become pretty pragmatic and so we go in and sit
down and there's this old man and he's looking at my dad's hand he's like you were a writer my dad's
like yeah and he's like and you were so you were living abroad and then you've come back here
because your mother's sick he's like yeah like, yeah. And which is true.
And then he's looking at it and then he suddenly looks at me and goes, can you wait outside?
I'm 10.
And I'm like, what do you mean?
He's like, just step outside for a minute.
I need to speak.
And I go outside.
My dad comes out 20 minutes later, white as a sheet.
And he has never told me what was said in there.
He's just like, I don't want to talk i don't know
and we've got to find out what was it am i gonna get hit by a bus or something like i think at this
point you're pretty good you think i'm good well people still get hit by buses i know but
when they're adults i think may's all right what how yeah are you a psychic yeah oh my god i don't want to tell you misfortune
misfortune call me now call me later
wow i have a message well clearly you said something that was uh really stuck yeah i don't
know if it was like we're here to tell us i don't know if it was a prediction of the future or
like very accurate about the past
but it was i think spot on and i looked for that guy i went back in my 20s and obviously disappeared
caravan still there and then it's it's like charlatan i love i that i'm i get to say that
word charlatan in this episode twice i love that i love you too um should we hear Jen's response?
Yeah, let's hear it.
Hopefully she'll have an actual experience.
I know.
I can't wait to hear it.
Okay, so the answer to that question for me is yes, I have.
I spoke to a medium about four years ago.
So much was coming through, so much was coming through,
but she said this one thing, a bunch of things that blew my mind, but this one was really incredible.
She said, your mom could never compete with her, her first husband's dancers.
So my mom's first husband, my father, my brother's father was like a big band leader.
And he always was having these affairs with women.
And my mom was always sort of, you know,
just quiet and meek.
And then she said, but he also wanted her to know that he never recovered from the death of his sister
who died in a plane crash.
What?
So I'm like, but that's so specific.
So I called my brother and I said said i also didn't know his father
had a sister that was the other thing so i said to my brother johnny did your father have a sister
who died so i don't say plane crash i don't say anything and then he goes oh yeah yeah, Aunt Jane. Aunt Jane, she died in a plane crash. No. That's wild.
What? Excuse me?
Oh, Aunt Jane, yes.
She died in a plane crash.
Chills
now, even, repeating the story.
So, yes.
Wow.
I truly did get goosebumps.
Yeah, same. The specificity
of dancers, plane crash.
All of it.
All of it.
Yeah.
I mean, there's nothing where you're like, I want to go to that medium.
Can we get that person's contact?
Maybe the night that the private chef makes his dinner.
Jen was like, this is asking a question that's come with a lot of strings.
I think the easiest thing for us
to do would be to move in, for
the three of us to move in with our families
and animals into Jen's house.
And then when she's talking
to her psychic, we could
pop in the back and be like,
what about
Fortune's animated show?
Is my grandma coming through?
Maybe this is where our road trip should be to.
Her house.
Exactly.
The road trip could be to Jen's house.
What if I contact my-
Wait, the road trip is to Jen's house?
That's not far.
We're going to take a road trip?
That's not far.
Well, because the rest of the weekend,
we're going to be at Jen's house having a slumber party.
That was a cool story.
What if we contact the medium and i
talked to my dead grandmother and she's like why are you talking about my problem area on your
podcast and that's the one thing she's mad about she might be upset about grandma's problem we've
talked a lot about grandma's problem area your grandma's problem yeah specifically i mean that area is a real problem that's all to say uh clearly
we would go to a psychic we're all open to it it feels seems like yeah and like i would love to
if you're out there and you're a psychic particularly a medium i would really a medium
yeah yeah well my my uh girlfriend uh had someone tell her that in a past life she
stole her best friend's wife she was a guy and her best friend had a wife and the wife was in
love with parv in a past life and then the the best friend went off to fight in a war and and
and so then since then the the psychic was like that's why you feel you don't deserve love and
like you are you feel guilty about it and you sort of shut yourself off that's why you feel you don't deserve love and like you are you feel
guilty about it and you sort of shut yourself off from love because you feel like you betrayed your
best friend in this past life yeah okay well you could say that to anyone really but that's another
story of someone else someone else and it's not even a yeah it's on it's on par i mean i was the
only one that really brought oh no you brought what happened well yeah i was gonna say i was the only one that brought
an actual story from uh psychic um but then i realized you did too you were every month calling
and going where's my girlfriend am i gonna find love I going to be in an animated movie
I'll call you in four months
to check back up on that
hi fortune
do you have any other questions
nope
I just want my love to come home
but it is funny with psychics when they're like
the words like
coconut grove is coming to mind
does that have any meaning to you
and you're like searching so hard in your brain like coconut grove coconut grove is coming to mind does that have any you know meaning to you and you're like
searching so hard in your brain like coconut grove coconut grove like maybe coconut grove
my friend may is allergic to coconut and you're like okay yeah like yeah actually
that yes that does track coconut grove yes what about it
that's the best part about psych is you just want
it try and connect anything and really all everybody wants to hear is like they forgive you
they're happy they're at peace you're like nothing's your fault and yeah you're the best
yeah yeah well excellent episode my friends oh man what podcast. I don't know what else we can give.

I just wanted to take a quick second on behalf of myself, May, and Thomas to wish our great pal, the very handsome, the very hilarious Tig Notaro,
a happy belated birthday.
She just celebrated a couple of days ago,
so we wanted to give her some love,
and you too can still celebrate our favorite pretty little lady
with an exclusive OK Dyke TIG sticker that's only available until this Thursday, March 28th.
If you go to handsomepod.com, you can pick it up with any order and you do not want to miss this sticker.
It's so cool.
It's that picture of TIG with the long hair fixing the tire.
So good.
You're the best, TIG.
We love you.
Happy birthday, my friend.
