Welcome to the Handsome Pod.
I'm your host Tig Notaro and my co-hosts May Martin and Fortune Feimster.
Yeah, keeping it handsome already we are unbelievably handsome
the response has been thumbs up to handsomeness it's been so exciting i know i'm suddenly like
what have i said on these recordings that we've pre-taped like because now i'm realizing people
are actually going to listen i think i've revealed a lot about my romantic life well that's why you're part of the show we know you've got good
stories to bring that's right you already admitted to us in our i think our second episode you we
were making fun of you about your wi-fi not working yeah and you were like remember when i
lied about my wi-fi and we're like we knew you were lying I think it was so obvious that I was like
my Wi-Fi is out it'll be back at 10 30 a.m. probably not even probably you
said my Wi-Fi will be back up and working at 10 30 and I was like that is
not true okay and then now because people are listening to the podcast then i had a
meeting uh like about a hosting thing not not breaking the strike guys it was a uns anyway
and so i i was like sorry i'm running late for the meeting and the woman who i've never met
texted me oh is your wi-fi out and i was like no i was like what do you mean and she was like, what do you mean? And she was like, I listen to the podcast. That is amazing.
No way.
They're on to me now.
That's hilarious.
Well, Tig just was so, your response was so funny.
Tig wrote, I love that May's internet will be up at exactly 1030.
No internet or cable person can ever confirm or promise anything like that and yet you knew
exactly when your internet would be back up and working again yeah i mean and also people's wi-fi
doesn't really go out does it like these yeah it's not really a thing and sometimes but in this
instance we knew you had a party yeah but tig and i were here to live vicariously through you
and your fun adventures so it's all good i have to tell you guys a very typical tig story that
happened also when i got back in town okay that i feel like you might appreciate so my friend had a game night on saturday and she said you know my son will be there who is
max and finn's age and they're pals and she said come over bring the kids and um you know join us
for game night so i show up bring max and finn they run off and i'm looking around at the party. She had said, you'll know people. And I thought for sure it's going to be full of stand-ups or something.
It's probably so many famous people around you.
Well, I truly, she and her husband are writers, directors, producers.
And I just thought, oh, after I got to the party, party I thought well these this must be a bunch of
writers and directors and producers so I didn't know anybody and I was talking to this couple
and then a small group of like three people walk up next to us and everyone's attention turned to
them and uh and when I turned this woman said she goes oh you look familiar i know you and i said oh my
name is tig i i do stand up and i said what is your name and she said her name and then i said
lena and she said no no it's not lena it's selena it's selena oh no selena gomez and i was like oh okay nice to meet you
and uh and then we're all talking and whatever and this woman leans over and she said
yeah that that's i don't know if you know but that's selena gomez and i was like she has like
400 million instagram followers right as you guys, I don't really follow pop culture.
And so I just kind of, as I normally do.
What's your name?
She's like, oh.
Right.
And the fact that I looked at her face and said, Lena?
Yeah.
Lena.
Yeah.
Well, that was close.
That was close.
It's really impressive like
she i think she actually does have the most instagram followers in the world right now right
she does yeah that's well she missed me but i uh i was just shriveling with embarrassment where i
was like oh gosh i'm not familiar i you know i've heard her name but i truly if she obviously if
she's sitting next to me i don't know who she was refreshing she was like oh i can just be normal yeah well what was
also really amusing was and i only spoke with her for a few minutes and then at the end of the night
when i was leaving with my kids she was across the deck like probably 50 feet away and she she's like
goodbye tig and i was like bye lena bye lena
she's like sir sir sir say follow me
lena uh so that was my uh embarrassing out in public moment i really like that it's it's
relaxing that you you live up to that reputation
of like it's literally genuinely would you know who's selena gomez absolutely of course okay
okay i don't hate to each their own well i just wondered if because she's a lot younger than me
and stephanie said she was disney that maybe it was like yeah somebody that maybe not everyone i think she in the show on hulu with steve martin
only murders in the building i have um a story like that but i'm i don't know if i've told it
before on the on the pod i might have been okay yeah would thomas come if it's good let's hear
it again tell your handsome story yeah it's thomas's
job it's his problem too much and i really i don't come out of this story looking good
in any way even better yeah it's embarrassing this is like a kind of kind of bad so brett
goldstein who's my friend from england and he gets invited to like all the good parties and uh
he kindly brings me as his plus one.
And I love a good,
I love to see celebs.
I love it.
I'm not jaded at all.
Like I, I like,
I do too.
I just can't find them ever.
You're like,
I wish there were some here.
You're at the Oscars.
You're literally surrounded by them.
I also know it.
I'm just at a party with a bunch of production assistants.
One of them's called Meryl something.
So I go to, so it was the Oscars after party,
the Vanity Fair party.
And I was so, we were both really excited
to get our little suits on.
Sure.
And we're heading in.
Looking handsome.
Looking pretty handsome.
And I was so pumped.
First of all, doing that like step and repeat
where all the photographers take your picture and you stand on the thing and it's all new to me and Brett's on one
side of me and then on the other side is Christina Aguilera.
And my inner like 13 year old is losing my mind.
And then I realized that all the cameras are just, it's like I've parted the Red Sea.
They're all just pointing at Brett and Christina Aguilera and none of them are pointing at
me.
And I'm like,
should I still pose?
That's hilarious.
They're like,
Brett, Christina.
You're putting your hand
in your jacket.
I'm doing my handsome pose.
They're like,
Brett, Christina.
Oh, kid, can you move?
She's like,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
That's my impression.
Of me or Christina?
Christina. So we go in and um that's what that's what separates christina from britney is her is the vibrato yeah anyway we go
in and um i had said to brett because he's so kind he always gets stuck talking to people for
for age he'll talk to everyone and uh i was like if you get stuck i'm gonna be a really
good wingman i'll come over and rescue you and uh because all these i mean everyone's like gorgeous
at this party and so i've had a few drinks and i look over and he's stuck talking he's been for
ages stuck talking to this like kind of nerdy little couple and he's been there for so long and uh oh my god
was it fortune and jack it's this awkward little couple i mean cheese yeah they're holding biggie
yeah little white dog um and so i go over and i wasn't rude at all but i was like hi
nice to meet you and then i kind of whispered to brett do you need do you need saving and he
looked at me like i was evil like he looked at me like I was evil.
Like he looked at me like I was such an asshole.
I was like,
what you've been here for?
You need saving.
And he goes,
may that's Malala.
And it was Malala and her husband,
clearly the most interesting people at the party.
And like,
if anything,
they needed saving from Brett who had like cornered them.
Oh no.
Tig doesn't,
you don't know
oh no malala oh no malala who is malala malala's world famous uh nobel peace prize winner right i
think one of the nobel peace prize oh i know malala yes she's an activist oh okay yeah yeah
that's not what i was expecting you were saying saying, oh, because you were thinking Hollywood,
like actor.
Yeah, I was thinking Hollywood.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought somebody else was a Malala.
I know who Malala is.
Gotcha, gotcha.
I felt like,
you're like,
come on, Brett.
Let's get on with this.
I was like,
oh, he's stuck with these awkward people.
I better, you know,
I'm sure he wants to talk to parents.
What could this woman possibly have to say
that's interesting?
Exactly.
I felt like the most vapid. She's like, I've traveled the world wants to talk to parrot what could this woman possibly have to say that's interesting i felt
like the most she's like i've traveled the world and talked to every world leader
i'm like brett paris's mom's over there you got
paris's mom who's hunky dory
oh man that's not the level the malala is such a different level of person to talk to.
I was at the Office Christmas Party premiere.
This was years ago when it came out, and I had never met Jimmy Kimmel.
And, you know, he's a comedian and funny, and he and his wife came up to me
and were, like, saying, oh, you know, talking about the movie being funny.
And we were just finally meeting, and Jax was like, come on, oh, you know, talking about the movie being funny. And we were just finally meeting.
And Jax is like, come on, we got to go, you know, get a slide or whatever.
And I'm like, give me a minute.
Because Jax, she's the same way.
She does not know who any famous person is.
Oh, she wasn't familiar with Jimmy or Molly.
Because she's like you.
She does not know who anyone is except for madonna
that's it just wandering around the world she's like let's go i'm like just give me a minute
have you guys ever been mistaken for someone else like i tom cruise when i posted a video of me and
brett online and someone wrote underneath is that ellen and simon cowell like i think they they were in left field i don't know
i kind of see it it was ellen and simon cowell yeah were they kidding i don't know it was a
grainy video and i could really see where they were coming from yeah i don't think i've been
mistaken for anyone but i've had a couple instances where someone came up to me and said i heard that
one of you is famous
which is a very weird thing to say to someone and they always look at jacks and they go what
what do you do she goes uh-uh it's this one i've had that before um i was at um i, of course, an Indigo Girls concert. And I was backstage, I think.
And I was with the other writers from One Mississippi.
And this woman came up to me, or she came up to the group.
And she said, you know, this is a terrible story.
I can't remember how it unfolded.
But basically, she was facing the head writer show
runner thinking that was me that she had heard that i was there and then she was talking to kate
robin and kate was like i'm not digno taro and like how much of a fan could you possibly be
if you're talking to the complete wrong person. She goes up to a water cooler.
I'm a huge fan.
I'm a huge fan.
That happens to her.
I'm your biggest fan.
What is your name again?
Yes.
And you're like, okay.
Oh my gosh, I love you, Tidge.
That's what somebody said to me once.
They called me Tidge.
Tidge.
Don't tell me, don't tell me.
Tidge. No, I i'm gonna tell you that's a pretty good nickname for like when you were a kid and you're and i can in a little
baseball hat tidge yeah when you're in your pigtails when i do my animated show it'll be a
little tidge yeah i did something i've never done before uh This last week, I went to Minnesota.
Oh, no way.
I've done that before, but I went rock hounding.
I've been there with you.
I know.
We did a show in Minneapolis together.
Yeah.
I went rock hounding.
Are you all familiar?
Rock hounding?
No.
Yeah.
I'd never heard of this before, but my friends are rock hounders.
And it's when you go looking for rocks, certain types of rocks.
The act of doing that is rock hounding.
They get these rocks and then they have this machine.
At a later time where they like, you know, saw the rock and get down to the, you know,
inside of the certain rocks is like a certain kind of thing.
Like up there, they were looking for agates. I didn't know anything about it. can get down to the you know inside of the certain rocks is like a certain kind of thing like up
there they were looking for agates i didn't know anything about it but i had to google like what
are agates what do they look like agates and so are you gonna tell us what agates are i mean it's
a type of rock i i don't but you know i was picking up things going like i think is this it and she's
like no it's granite and i go well isn't that good they make great counters i don't like what but she's like no so it was really hard to find but then
once they you like saw them down or whatever you call them polish them it's like a really cool
that's it i would really get into that it was very zen i actually pronounce it
agat agat that was a call back to Ponties, but it didn't go well.
Good callback.
No, I regret it.
I would find that really relaxing, though, just walking along the beach.
It was so relaxing because it was up in the north shore of Minnesota.
Really beautiful.
It was like we just had four days with our friends
where we were just playing games at night and hanging out and listening to music and then going rock hounding during the day.
It felt very like cool.
And is this a career or is this a hobby?
Because I feel like I don't know.
Other people just call it collecting rocks and then they have a rock collection.
Rock hounding is the thing is the name.
It's a term.
And do they have another job? no my friends well i was with natalie mains she was on tour and they they had like a time off between shows and so uh it's a hobby for them where she was
like just you know something to do that takes her mind off things yeah but as far as like people who
do it i don't
know i'm assuming there's got to be people that do things like that for a living there i feel like
they're trying to make it sound a little more hardcore than it is you ain't nothing but a rock
i'm really into like rocks and crystals and stuff you might really like it you should look it up it's like a
whole world there's like instagram posts um people and tiktokers who talk about it yeah and show you
what they're looking for they show you like digging into the because a lot of those beaches are just
rocks it's not like sand it's just all rocks and you're just digging into these rocks i know people
go with like metal detectors people go right and that's a big hobby, just going down the beach.
That's people trying to find change or bracelets.
Yeah.
Or Viking gold.
Bars of gold.
Do they still make bars of gold?
Yeah.
Are bars of gold just hanging out on beaches right now?
Yeah, I would assume.
Is there a Goonies ship somewhere?
Somewhere.
I do like seeing an old school situation with the metal detector.
Yeah.
On the beach.
It is funny when somebody walks by and they're like,
me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
And oftentimes does look like somebody that needs a friend.
Yeah. I have seen, I like it when i see couples i have seen couples that's metal detect together oh my gosh maybe stephanie and i should get a metal
detector and just like throw in the towel please please please just give up your whole lives and
become max and finn can go surfing and y'all can be on the beach looking for change bars of gold
we got 75 cents there's a in in uh like norfolk in england they're in i think like the 1200s this
ship sunk and it was a king's ship i'm hazy on the details i want to say it's you know william
of orange or something like that
and all this treasure sunk with him and everyone's like it's still there somewhere and one of these
days it's going to wash up and people still go and look for it and uh maybe that we could have
an outing let's go to norfolk let's go to norfolk not virginia no i'm game you're gay nothing going

Lukenbach, Texas.
You know that song?
Let's go to Lukenbach, Texas. It talks about getting back to-uh. Let's go to Lukenbach, Texas.
It talks about getting back to the basics of life.
It's an old country song.
Hey, you'd really like this song.
Let me tell you that. Two, three, and let's go to Lukenbach, Texas.
Willie and Waylon and the boys.
Because, Mae, you went up to nature, right?
Not that long ago. Yeah yeah i went to the desert
but i think like if we abandoned capitalism and we really went back to basics like trading nature
i think i'd i wouldn't thrive i think i'm like i'm capitalism's wet dream like i'm buying stuff
on amazon i'm like i like i like a coffee shop i like a coffee shop i like a bright lights of the
city you know oh yeah i'm not trying to get back to like we're all like sharing provisions yeah out on the prairie like i i don't think i could
last i know i i would love to look up and see fortune being like are you gonna share your
provisions with me the word provisions has been commandeered by rich people now. Any store that's called Provisions, it's like a gourmet grocery store.
Right.
When Provisions back in the day was like, we need this to survive.
And now rich people are like, do you have the goat cheese?
Yeah.
In the old days, it was like.
It used to be, get off my canteen.
Give me my smoked meat jerky that i'm gonna chew for six months sometimes on the plane i watch
those like uh yellowstone or 1920 whatever era everybody on the plane watches yellowstone and
the 1800 show every time i am on a flight i look over and i see tim mcgraw i see what's his uh kevin costner and harrison ford
yeah all of these people and then um faith hill yeah they're all every you get when did airplanes
become west everybody on the plane is watching westerns it is the craziest thing they put i think the reason is because those are
all on i want to say paramount plus or one of those yeah services which you know you have your
staples of streaming services and then there's the additional ones right you're already paying
this much you're not necessarily gonna also get this one and on the planes a lot of times they
have like the whole season so people are like i
won't get it while the getting's good you ain't paying that ten dollars for paramount plus i
didn't know what was happening at first and it was like the first couple of times i was like oh
that's so interesting i just on the last flight i was somebody was watching tim mcgraw people love
a western right now i love a western look i'm on planes all the time and i'm
never seeing people watching westerns and now it's like every person is watching well it's all the
same family you know do you know that what do you mean so it started with i don't know that on the
plane every passenger on the plane that takes on no not family of people watching it the the flagship show is called
yellowstone right that's the kevin costner one that's connected to tim mcgrath yeah they're all
connected oh so that's why people people this is like it's like the real housewives but of westerns
but scripted i'm starting i'm really i'm starting to feel like you work for paramount plus fortune
you got all the insights you work for either the airline or i'm working for the airline i'm here to tell you to get i'm just wandering
into game nights clueless i get on a plane clueless and fortune's like that's selena gomez
this is the flagship yellowstone show i have a finger on the pulse you really do so yellowstone
was a juggernaut is that how you say it juggernaut i was not expecting to
hear that word today it was a regular handsome podcast for western yeah it was big and everyone
loved it it's like a soap opera of what but it's not it's set in modern times but it's kind of
soap opera e yeah but it's cowboys and riding horses. Rock founders. Look at you, Fortune, acting that out.
Everybody wanted to move to Wyoming.
No, no, Montana.
Whatever.
Here's a gay person trying to describe freaking Yellowstone.
So then the Tim McGraw one was 18-something.
I don't work for this is
that what it's called 18 18 something it was the prequel this is where that family came from this
is how they got that land same creator everything then that was a what do we say juggernaut juggernaut
do you watch these shows or you just i watched the yellowstone one okay
you seem passionate i've never seen you this animated to be honest i know you need to calm
down you're freaking out i'm just here to inform you guys of westerns you're gonna have a stroke
if you don't take a deep breath about this yellowstone juggernaut. Honestly, I have no stake in this. I don't care
if any of you watch it. I really miss how on planes, we all had to watch the same movie on
a little tiny screen. And we were all in it together. And we'd be watching like,
Liar, Liar, Jim Carrey. And then you'd see. But anyway, there's also a night. That one was a hit.
Sorry. Oh, wait, hold on, Maeve. Fortune has more to say about the juggernaut she doesn't
have the stake in this i don't even have a walk-on role nothing i'm not in the background
i don't we're all on strike don't won't go to any of it that one was a hit so now they have a 19
something uh-huh and that's harrison ford so after the the 1800 something this is their in-laws this
is their like family I yeah I'm not I mean I don't know hey watch the show or not I didn't even care
when it was next to me I was just like what is with everyone now when you see it you'll know
now I'm gonna be like okay this is yeah now you'll know. Now I'm going to be like, okay, this is the prequel.
Now you'll know what they're watching.
I just wish it was actually called 18-something.
I wish it was 18-something and 19-something.
You know what I'd really like is to get Tim McGraw and Faith Peel on here to ask a question.
They should give us a handsome question.
And they will want to now that I have been so passionate about their show.
Laid out the entire legacy.
Yeah.
I did watch the first episode of theirs on the plane.
And they were.
Oh, my God.
You and these shows.
They were pretty sexy, the two of them.
Really?
Yeah, they were handsome.
Whoa.
I just really feel like when I get to the credits of these shows, it's going to be executive producer Fortune Feimster.
And we're going to be like, I knew it. No, it's going to be executive producer, fortune Feimster. And we're going to be like,
I knew it.
No,
it's going to say walk on roll fortune Feimster.
Which is,
is that you would have thing.
I was thinking of sports,
like a walk on,
you know,
the sports team.
I have a walk on role.
For some reason,
when I hear walk on role,
I picture fortune wandering onto the, into the shot, like dressed all Western and then kind of glancing directly into the camera and then slowly backing away.
I'm like, does anyone here need some provisions?
I've got goat cheese balls.
Get your assless chaps off the set.
I'm not a producer.
We're on strike. Watch it or not i'm not promoting it
i'm not on it i'm just telling you well you know in the beginning of movies where it gives all the
like main credits and then it'll say yeah introducing or and or with or whatever it
says with the last person and with yours it'll be a be a walk on roll with fortune made up job that I,
who act acted like was a real thing.
What's weird is I,
who act,
I,
who act have a walk on roll.
I've been like kind of intrigued by Yellowstone and wanting to watch it.
And then for some reason,
now I'm adamant on that just to rebel.
I'm never going to watch it.
You just don't want to watch it now?
Great.
Well, I'm going to take a flight to Australia
and watch all episodes of every show.
Hopefully the next iteration is a bunch of gay cowboys.
That would be great.
Hello.
Hello.
Can I be a little cowboy? Well, well you know we do need a little cowboy
may you would make a great little cowboy yeah thanks thanks
well speaking of musicians oh that's a good transition. We were talking about Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. And Faith Hill.
Who hopefully will be on the Handsome
Pod at some time. Come on, Faith!
Tim! Call us!
We actually have a question
here from Jimmy Fallon.
You know him from the Tonight Show
and Saturday Night Live.
He's been making the funnies
for a very long time and jimmy has a
question for us handsome folks hey handsome pod this is jimmy fallon my question is what concert
would you bootleg if you had the opportunity to tape and bootleg and record a concert
oh bootleg bootleg that was so big back in the day. What is this, the 70s? Wait, that was like a Dave Matthews band.
That was like big.
Grateful Dead.
So this is insane, but is bootleg like basically recording the entire concert
and like just having it available to you?
This ties into the Western.
Boot.
Leg.
I'm assuming you have your recorder in your boot.
Is that what it is? Okay. Oh, right. That's where it comes from. you have your recorder in your boot yeah is that what it is okay oh right that's
where it comes from you strap your you strap your i have no idea quarter in your boot yeah because
when i was in college my friend's brother used to go to the dave matthews band concerts and all his
super fans would like sneak in like it had to be a large recording device back then boom box somehow
and and it would record the whole concert and they would like trade the concerts with each other
right right right i see i see that is like the grateful dead as well i mean that was a whole
world of recording which i never got into the grateful dead i didn't either i dated
someone that was a deadhead a mat a massive debt like toured around following the dead i think when
i was a kid i was scared of the name and then i think i think there's some superstition around
grateful dead fans i think there was a murder like there's some true crime
thing and i think i feel like jerry garcia even saying the words i'm gonna invite like a curse on
like i have i'm scared of the what i don't know i don't know you're scared of the grateful
yeah it up grateful dead curse little cowboy little cowboy may
little cowboy's scared of the grateful it dead haunting to me and i think it's
because um i used to listen to this song when i was 12 by a band called kula shaker and the lead
singer of which was actually hayley mills's son remember hayley mills from the parent trap oh
yeah yeah anyway no it was a scary of course. There was a really scary part of the song where it went.
He goes, I'm telling you, man.
He said it like that.
I'm telling you, man.
Jerry was there.
You could feel his presence everywhere.
And it haunted me.
I was like 11 or 12.
And it was like that part in Thriller where the guy's voice comes in.
And he was talking about Jerry Garcia's ghost.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, man.
Jerry was there.
You could feel his presence everywhere. I haven't thought about that in so long wow yeah i just googled grateful
dead curse and i'm not coming up with anything i'm realizing it might have been all just might
have been a different band my 11 year old brain hearing that creepy song and being like dead
grateful what but maybe maybe i'm wrong we have we do have social media places where people can 11-year-old brain hearing that creepy song and being like, Dad, grateful. What?
But maybe I'm wrong.
We do have social media places where people can,
if we aren't sure on something,
we have an Instagram, a Facebook page, a Twitter page.
You can go on there and give us the info. Do we have a Friendster page?
Do we have a LinkedIn?
If you want to work for the handsome pod.
But I would like to know if there is a Grateful Dead curse want to work for the handsome pod.
But I would like to know if there is a Grateful Dead curse, I think.
Yeah.
Okay.
May wants to know this.
Okay.
So a bootlegged concert.
Hmm.
I mean, I did bootleg a concert once.
What?
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Tig.
Tell us.
May.
Little cowboy.
I think somebody's got a new nickname. Little cowboy.
Little cowboy. Little cowboy. cowboy i think somebody's got a new uh nickname little cowboy um i went to a pretenders concert
wow i am a massive chrissy heine fan she is the lead singer of the pretenders i was so excited
i don't even know how i recorded that oh i think I had one of those little tiny where you have the mini cassette that goes
in the little recorder.
Yeah, it was the mid 80s.
And I brought that to record.
And I also brought my camera.
I snuck in a lot of stuff.
Were you scared you were going to get caught or you were right in the middle of it all?
I don't know if I was terribly scared like you get.
Picture risk taker.
Yeah, I can't really picture you terribly scared.
Take it like, what?
What?
I'm a fan.
I'm a fan.
I'm here to bootleg.
It's me, Tidge.
Got a recorder in my cowboy boot.
Get out of Tidge's way.
We got Tidge.
We got little cowboy.
Tidge is a good, Tidge is actually a good Western name.
Tidge and Little Cowboy.
Well, well, well, if it ain't Tidge.
Yeah, so I recorded the Pretenders concert.
To watch it later or to sell it?
Well, not watch it.
It was the mid-80s.
It was just audio.
It was just to go home, lie in bed,
and listen to the concert all over again
when i got home okay because also then it wasn't at your fingertips like all these you know like
it is now like you can see like all these artists concerts on a you know they eventually film them
and they're up on a platform somewhere yeah yeah i mean a lot of the concerts i would say
yeah there already are like like woodstock or
the beatles on the roof of abbey road or or those types of things but what's coming to me i don't
know if this counts as a concert but like jesus's sermon on the mount if i if you could get how
religious because i think he was a real guy and i'm just curious i'm curious about he must have
been very charismatic i don't know how i feel about him and he was great at karaoke he was a real guy. And I'm just curious about, he must have been very charismatic.
I don't know how I feel about him.
He was great at karaoke.
He was great at karaoke.
But just to be able to have some footage of that
would be pretty.
He was the original little cowboy.
Oh, famously.
Yeah.
So you're saying if you could go,
if you could be back in time and record that,
that would be pretty cool.
Also, or Bette Midler playing in the bathhouses
in new york in like the 60s that would be but then i think the guys in the towels would be like don't
film us well maybe the audit just the audio or maybe they'd be like hey little cowboy bring that
camera bring that camera in here i didn't even think about going back in time and i didn't either
little cowboy broke all the rules here just broke all yeah kind of what i
did all boundaries um i mean well that would have i was trying to think i was like thinking of
woodstock but that was all documented yeah you want to see all of the most famous rockumentaries
i i went to see it when i was a teenager they played the woodstock documentary and all the
concert footage uh in a in a big movie theater.
And everyone was smoking weed in the movie theater.
And I was really transported.
I was watching it.
And then I actually cried because I was so sad I was not there.
And that I was born too late for all the coolest stuff.
That was the weed, but for sure.
Do you feel like all the cool stuff is done
sometimes i do feel that i i i don't know i don't feel that connected to a lot of
all that i am like all the stuff i'm a real passionate fan of is is in the past but i guess
that's common right it's all my parents music's pink floyd and the beatles and dylan and well it
feels like back then people were more unified on liking certain
things like not everyone was into Woodstock but so many people were but now we're all fragmented
yeah right so some people was into they're into this band or this band or this band but they're
not all like eyes on this particular thing except for Tay swift maybe and there was a real counterculture then tay swift
that's what i call her little tay that is little tay little cow tay tay little tay she's the only
one bringing all of us together and keeping our economy afloat yeah she's my president i saw a
card the other day with a license plate lil gassy and i was like that's a great rap name little gassy
did it have a bunch of buffer stickers on the back of it yeah i think it did
i think is that your car fortune no but i've seen that car
if that's your car call in to 1-800 handsome we don't have that number but we should get it
we should uh thomas can you look and see if we can get that number if i get bootleg i mean it was also documented but i would want to bootleg the
like in between takes conversations would have been when everyone's saying we are the world oh
my god all of those since may said that we can go back in time yeah wouldn't you love to be a fly on
the wall like get that
audio yeah because of all those conversations because who was that bono oh so many people
stevie wonder bruce springsteen yeah stevie wonder cindy lopper lionel richie paul mccartney
uh michael jackson yeah gosh who else was it harry belafonte kenny rogers i just want to hear what kenny rogers what is your what is your favorite well there's we are
the world and then there's also the christmas do they know it's christmas yeah and i wrote a whole
i wrote about that in my book of how it always bothered me that there is a line in that song where it says,
well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you.
And I was like, that is so rude.
That's awful.
To just be like, yeah, to be like, dear God,
thank you so much for making them starve and for making sure that I'm okay.
Yeah.
I never thought about that.
The whole thing, do they know it's christmas is questionable like for sure
what if you got the we are the world footage of the behind the scenes takes and they were just
talking about the timeline of the yellowstone series they were just don't get me started
fortune sit down sit down take a deep breath she's standing up
thomas just put a bunch of names.
He's so fast.
Bob Dylan.
See, Bob Dylan was there.
Bruce Springsteen.
Steve Perry.
Oh, a love journey.
Oh, Steve Perry.
Hell no.
Tina Turner.
Come on.
I would like a bootleg concert of Tina Turner.
Oh, yeah.
At the height of Tina Turner's fame.
I'd even take it at the lowest of Tina Turner's fame. I'd even take it
at the lowest
of Tina Turner's fame.
You could take her worst show.
It's non-existent.
I mean,
I would take Tina's,
like,
bottom of the barrel Tina.
She's got a pink strep throat.
She's got a sprained ankle.
I am a sucker
for a strong female voice.
Like,
I just love
great female singers.
Like, me, me, me, me. But bootlegging now i'd love an adele concert oh yeah celine dion even give me celine hello uh kelly clarkson you know
what i don't need to see i'd love to hear celine sing i don't need to see her dance you also don't need to hear her talk there's these she does a lot of big
fast footwork little steps yeah well she feels a little robotic yes well i don't think god blessed
her with the rhythm but he blessed her with the greatest voice thank you god thank you god thank
you baby jesus who's sermon on the mount we're gonna listen to on the bootleg what if we got a question from her oh my god we won't now i went to a celine dion concert by myself because i love
her that much and jackson loser go have fun i was in a relationship i'm still in that relationship
but she was like no thanks you should have called me and i did do the bootleg record on my iphone for the um acoustic part
because i was like oh this i can't get this online but i can get it here on my bootleg
version on my iphone but selena's like voice was like amazing pitch perfect never misses a note
yeah and then she starts talking she goes i got a letter from ryan reynolds and i thought
and once we get with me and i and i go oh no no no and please don't do this
were you standing there alone crying at my heart will go on oh girl yeah i mean i am a stan celine as the young ones say what is your favorite celine song um
gosh there are many i love a new day
and i love uh there were days there were nights and earth days and the nights were so cold I don't know lyrics.
It's a song.
It's pitch perfect.
It's all coming back to me now.
Yeah, that's the one.
I like I drove all night.
Oh, yeah.
I drove all night.
But that's the Christina Aguilera cover.
That's true.
I don't do the best impression of Celine singing,
but her passion is there.
Equally passionate for Celine as I am Yellowstone
and 18 and 19 something.
Well, if you're ever solo heading to Celine,
give me a ring-a-ding.
You know what?
I will.
You and little cowboy.
I'll drive all night.
You and little cowboy are coming with me that's
right and my mom she'll be there yeah we gotta take your mom because your mom loves her yeah
but often my mom will reveal that she loves something that she's never mentioned ever in
her life and it turns out she's like devoutly passionate about like Lord of the Rings.
Gandalf.
You don't want me to do any more impressions?
Yeah.
What else you got in your repertoire?
That's why I'm here. My ring, my pretty.
My ring, my pretty.
That's the Wizard of Oz.
Ooh, do your best Toto.
Toto just would sit there in the Dorothy's's arms i like when gandalf goes i'm
melting you know i heard some trivia once that i thought was really interesting about the wizard
of oz what is that i guess it's not that interesting but i always look for it and i find it
her hair is different lengths during the movie really like very
glaringly different i never noticed that watch it again i gotta say i kind of feel about wizard of
the way i do at grateful dead like it's a little haunting because i've done that pink floyd thing
where you press play at the the roar of the mgm lion you press play on dark side of the moon the album and it syncs
up the pink floyd album and it's really eerie so have you done that fortune i don't think i've
heard of it i don't think so fortune fortune fortune is he watching 18 something but it does
kind of fall apart oh at a certain point in the movie but like for a good chunk like the whole
first time you play the album and then
it's when you have to repeat the album then it falls yeah man it's so haunting we should do
really do that it syncs up pretty pretty great like exact yeah like wow that's weird exact like
she's when she's uh balancing and then she falls in the pig pen it's yeah like balanced on the
biggest wave you race towards early and then when you see you hear bells, when you see the bells on the bike of Elmira Gulch.
And then when she puts her ear up to the Tin Man's chest, you hear the heartbeat.
Oh, was this a coincidence?
Apparently, but something is going on.
We got to get to the bottom of it.
Well, let's Google curse of Pink Floyd.
I don't know that i've never heard
that also you know it never happens i guess because people don't really buy vinyl anymore
well no there's a whole new wave of people buying vinyl but the whole playing the vinyl backwards
and hearing the devil you know the devil rarely is recorded in vinyl anymore did you not know
about that i do not know of this well Well, you're off in Celine Dion land.
We're in rock and roll land.
On your day.
Yeah, play that backwards.
Yeah.
Like in the, you can hear the devil say, bury my body.
Talking about Paul McCartney, right?
That was where Paul is dead came from.
Fortune.
Fortune, you need to pull your head out of Celine land.
You got to turn off that.
I'm going to turn off all of that.
I would rather listen to the Canadian princess, Celine,
than listen to the devil.
Yeah, I've never heard of this,
but now I don't think i still want to
nothing's changed y'all have done that you've heard that yourself yeah oh i haven't i just
remember in the 70s there were always like lawsuits yeah really about the devil oh that
was during the satanic panic or whatever well i do have a record player
from urban outfitters i could pull out of the closet i have a record player as well all right
let's get together have some whiskey and play our records backwards i really like um all things like
that like hidden messages and things and um in disney movies there's a lot of those right like
there's oh right yeah in the little
mermaid doesn't it have some things yeah the priest has a penis somewhere yeah fortune listen
what's your language like read the room sorry dong thank you thank you i think one of the like the what do you call them oh under the penis the reef or whatever
is in the shape of a penis i think fortune you did it sorry wiener you said it thank you
people are turning the show off left and right i know
there's a number of listeners probably not into dongs fortune
we're gonna have to put a disclaimer at the top of this episode i know well i'm just telling you
may brought it up i was just brought what up that there disney has some of these hidden things it
does like in like what like in the lion king i just said penis fortune what was in the lion king he like when i say he i mean simba he flops down and uh some
some leaves go in the air and they spell out sex so it's so may sorry uh
sorry uh fornication but wait is that really happening because it's like why i know why just these bored animators just sitting there being like yeah yeah like let me sneak some
fun things in there little pranksters i mean thomas is googling penis right now he's like what
is but why do you think judy garland kept messing with
her hair and making it long then short then long then short was she being a little prankster too
were they filming at one point they took a break and then filmed again of course i don't know why
no it's the 1800s it was 18 something didn't she get harassed by like the lollipop guild what did she what god i thought there
was an interview somewhere where she in an interview said that the actors playing
the lollipop guild were like hitting on her and being inappropriate and putting her putting their
hand up her dress and stuff that is ruined the wizard of oz you've just ruined the wizard of
oz listen we're all. We're all bursting.
Every one of us are bursting each other's bubbles.
But not nearly as bad as you saying penis so many times on the show.
The idea of the Lollipop Guild putting their hand up Dorothy's dress is so bleak.
I could be wrong.
I could be wrong.
Don't quote me on it.
But Google it.
I could have sworn she said.
I'm not going to Google that.
My kids walk in, I'm like.
That is.
Just a minute.
But you know that stuff also is like urban legend, right?
Some of that stuff is like someone said it and it just keeps going down.
It could be also an urban legend.
Well, that's also like that Phil Collins song.
In the Air Tonight.
No. That In the Air Tonight? No.
That In the Air Tonight?
Like, I can feel it coming.
I can feel it in the air tonight.
So just like that.
Oh, it was on that Tom Cruise movie.
I don't know.
What's the urban legend there?
Well, there's a lot of different stories around what that song
is about and what i heard you know how um oh if i saw you drowning i would not lend a hand oh
you know that part that's a lyric in there yeah oh i didn't know that the story i heard which is
one of of i think hundreds of urban legends about this song, is that when Phil Collins was a kid,
he and his friend were out on a lake
and some stranger drowned his friend.
And so he wrote the song about the guy that drowned his friend.
What?
And then I had heard, this also cannot be true,
that Phil Collins, all the years later,
invited the guy that killed his friend to his concert,
sang the song, and then put the spotlight on the murderer.
That can't be true.
Of course it's not.
Of course it's not.
But do we think that the drowning part's true?
I truly don't know.
I've never heard this heard i feel like the
first thing you gotta do you gotta call the police no first you write a song that's what's
freaking me out he writes this no first you call the police the band you call you call the police
you say something has happened with phil collins well i hope that story is not true that would be we're spreading a
lot of urban legends are coming out of today's episode do not come here for facts folks not
handsome we're handsome but we're not factual i started a rumor today that judy garland is a
prankster and she kept cutting her hair long then short then long then short obviously it was a continuity error and honestly i talk about penises too much fortune
god what a day well should we hear what uh jimmy fallon has to say what his answer is yeah
the answer is the doobie brothers because that was the famous episode of what's happening
where rerun got caught bootlegging a concert and the doobie Brothers. Because that was the famous episode of What's Happening where Rerun got caught bootlegging a concert
and the Doobie Brothers actually came to his house and confronted him.
Wow.
I would not have guessed the Doobie Brothers,
but I like the Doobie Brothers.
I like What's Happening.
I like Rerun.
Yeah.
Can't you really go on day by day?
People get rid of them.
I told you, don't know lyrics. I really love the doobie brothers music play it's kind of i mean
if you're a mega fan of theirs and you bootleg the show kind of the ideal thing is they show up at
your house then you're like you're like look i'm sorry but you want to come in and smoke a doobie
yeah brothers my favorite doobie brothers song was um she came from somewhere
back is that the michael mcdonald days yeah yeah
i saw um michael mcdonald in concert you know yeah i was at like a park in uh columbus ohio
and i was like this is not a typical concert I would have purchased a
ticket for, but I'm here and I'm loving it. Oh, you know what? My God. Do you want to know what
my favorite Thomas, can you pull this song up? Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle. That duet.
Oh.
On My Own.
I love this song so much.
On my own.
Fortune, please.
Pretending I'm not near you.
Fortune, for the love of God, Cork it.
Thomas.
Oh, yes.
Yes. Wow. So, yes. Yes!
Whoa.
So many times
said
it was forever.
I didn't realize that this was with Michael McDonald.
Oh, yeah.
My favorite part is when he comes
in, he seems like he's been asleep
for hours
and he's startled listen to this
she's just singing there like in bed and he's asleep
i love that duet so much.
Wow.
Look at that.
It's my favorite duet.
My favorite duet.
We got to make each other all mixtapes or something because there's big holes in my knowledge.
We all, it seems like we have different areas.
Yeah, we have different tastes.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
And you're real stuck in the Canadian pop world that nobody's heard of, Mae.
Oh, because of Love Song by Sky.
Yeah.
Some people commented on our put on our
handsome pod uh instagram account that they couldn't believe that you and i did not know the
song well we're not canadian i also had a friend say to me oh your podcast came out it was so cool
all this time you were talking about it i thought it was the hansen podcast and it was about the Hanson brothers. That also would be good.
Well, look at that.
I mean, I learned a lot today.
I learned a lot. Look at that.
All of us.
I learned some things about myself, too.
What'd you learn?
I didn't know I was so passionate about Westerns.
And penises.
Yeah.
Yeah.
