  Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking whether I brought my sunglasses before driving west at the end of the day? A learning moment. I'm gaining confidence in my driving, but it helps when I'm not blinded by the sun beaming directly into my eyeballs.

• 0:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, checking first is handsome, so check Allstate first for an auto quote. It could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Potential savings vary, subject to terms, conditions, and availability. Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.

  Welcome to Handsome's Pretty Little Episode. I'm Fortune Beamster.

• 1:55Tig Notaro?

  Hi.

• 1:56Mae Martin?

  Hi.

• 1:58Tig Notaro?

  Hi, Fortune. It's your co-host, Tig Notaro.

• 2:02Mae Martin?

  Hello, I love it, Tig Notaro.

• 2:04Tig Notaro?

  I thought you were gonna say, "I love you."

• 2:06Mae Martin?

  And I love you.

• 2:08Tig Notaro?

  Do you feel like you love me?

• 2:09Mae Martin?

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:10Tig Notaro?

  Not romantically, but like...

• 2:12Mae Martin?

  Oh, duh.

• 2:12Tig Notaro?

  If I was hit by a bus, would you be like...

• 2:16Mae Martin?

  Of course, Jesus.

• 2:18Tig Notaro?

  I don't know, I'm just trying to, you know, kind of check things out, see if you'd be like, "Oh, who can we replace her with?"

• 2:27Fortune Feimster?

  That's my immediate thought.

• 2:29Tig Notaro?

  Who would you replace me with?

• 2:30Fortune Feimster?

  You cannot be replaced.

• 2:32Tig Notaro?

  That's all I wanted to hear.

• 2:33Fortune Feimster?

  That's right.

• 2:34Tig Notaro?

  How are you, Fortune?

• 2:35Fortune Feimster?

  I'm good.

• 2:36Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 2:37Fortune Feimster?

  I'm chilling.

• 2:38Tig Notaro?

  You look good. You look chilling.

• 2:40Fortune Feimster?

  I've been home this week, getting some good rest and doing a lot of treading.

• 2:44Tig Notaro?

  Are ya?

• 2:45Fortune Feimster?

  Yep.

• 2:45Tig Notaro?

  My god, Fortune, that's like...

• 2:48Fortune Feimster?

  Pretty good, right?

• 2:49Tig Notaro?

  That's really good. That's like rivaling your calves.

• 2:54Fortune Feimster?

  Hmm, my calves are always hard to beat, but this is a way improvement.

• 2:59Tig Notaro?

  This is actually a completely whole other level I think you've hit. In fact, Thomas went, "Whoa."

• 3:09Speaker 04

  I was impressed, yeah.

• 3:10Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 3:10Fortune Feimster?

  Thank you, guys.

• 3:12Tig Notaro?

  Wow.

• 3:13Fortune Feimster?

  Aww.

• 3:13Tig Notaro?

  That's really good. So what else are you doing to relax off the road and off work?

• 3:18Fortune Feimster?

  I've been with Biggie this week, so a lot of... When he's with me, I like to be at home.

• 3:25Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:26Fortune Feimster?

  And chill with him. So I went to the grocery store and got food. So I made myself dinner a couple nights in a row and just sat on the couch with him and watched TV and movies. And there's honestly nothing better.

• 3:42Tig Notaro?

  What's his favorite show?

• 3:43Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, he's a Housewives fan.

• 3:49Fortune Feimster?

  He sleeps the whole time.

• 3:51Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay, alright. You know what Max and Finn just got into last night?

• 3:56Fortune Feimster?

  What's that?

• 3:57Tig Notaro?

  At our hotel, they stumbled upon Family Guy. And they were dying.

• 4:07Fortune Feimster?

  I could see that, yeah.

• 4:08Tig Notaro?

  I mean, it was like... It reminded... Because they got into Friends when they were five. And it became the thing that we let them watch when we were on vacation. And they didn't understand the jokes, but when the laugh track came in, they were just in pieces. And I think they're starting to get a lot of the Friends jokes at this point. Now, I mean, Family Guy is a whole different level of, even though Friends isn't quite appropriate for their age, Family Guy is really not appropriate for their age.

• 4:45Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, really?

• 4:45Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, and they are not, they can tell when a joke has been said, but they repeat it dying laughing, and Stephanie and I are looking at each other like, oh, God. And so today, when we were walking around Central Park, Max was like, so after our dinner tonight, will we have time to get home and watch Family Guy? And I was like, oh, boy.

• 5:12Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 5:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 5:13Fortune Feimster?

  It's on now, they're gonna, we wanted to watch all the episodes.

• 5:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 5:17Fortune Feimster?

  And it's been on for years, right? So.

• 5:20Tig Notaro?

  I get, yeah, yeah.

• 5:21Fortune Feimster?

  There's a lot to catch up on.

• 5:23Tig Notaro?

  Well, they've now graduated from watching Friends on vacation to now they are allowed to watch an episode every night before bed. And so they're on, I think, season nine of Friends. So, once they finish Friends, they've been constantly discussing what their next series is gonna be.

• 5:43Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, wow.

• 5:44Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 5:45Fortune Feimster?

  I love that they decide as a team.

• 5:46Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, well, yeah, they kinda have to.

• 5:49Fortune Feimster?

  Because they share a bedroom, right?

• 5:51Tig Notaro?

  No, they have their own, they used to, and they have their own rooms. However, they do have, you know, sleepovers every night. So, they don't.

• 6:00Fortune Feimster?

  They do?

• 6:01Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's really sweet.

• 6:02Fortune Feimster?

  That's cute.

• 6:03Tig Notaro?

  I know. Anyway, it's so cute to hear the discussion before, like, are you gonna sleep in my room? Or I, you know, it's that thing. But anyway, so we've been, I think, in the running is The Office.

• 6:16Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, that's a good one.

• 6:17Tig Notaro?

  And I bet, I bet Family Guy jumps real far ahead, because they are delighted. They watched two episodes last night, and it was like... Stephanie was saying, they used to watch this show called Bluey, which is a total kid show.

• 6:35Fortune Feimster?

  I've heard of that, yeah.

• 6:36Tig Notaro?

  And she said, you know, when everything shifted was when they saw Dumb and Dumber. She said, there was no world we could go back to watching a show like Bluey because it just launched.

• 6:52Fortune Feimster?

  Her comedy minds got blown.

• 6:54Tig Notaro?

  Their brains just went so far beyond that. And so I have a sneaking suspicion that we've now crossed another hurdle.

• 7:04Fortune Feimster?

  I think so.

• 7:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. But anyway, that's what we do.

• 7:09Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 7:10Tig Notaro?

  Well, I'm glad you're getting some rest.

• 7:11Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, the summer actually was pretty nice in that I took, I took some time off doing the road hardcore.

• 7:23Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 7:23Fortune Feimster?

  So I really didn't have a lot of shows in July and August. And I didn't realize how much I needed to just like be kind of normal.

• 7:33Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 7:34Fortune Feimster?

  Not be in like workhorse mode.

• 7:37Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 7:38Fortune Feimster?

  It was good for me.

• 7:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it feels good to take a break so you get excited to go back.

• 7:45Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 7:46Tig Notaro?

  You know?

• 7:46Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 7:47Tig Notaro?

  I'm coming up on almost two years of being mostly off the road.

• 7:53Fortune Feimster?

  Wow.

• 7:53Tig Notaro?

  I take a gig here and there that makes sense with my schedule, but it's only come to like once every month or two that I've done. And probably less, once every month or three.

• 8:04Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 8:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's, it's felt really good to, to take that time.

• 8:09Fortune Feimster?

  It was, it was good just to chill with, with, you know, the other five jobs I do. It's never really chilling.

• 8:16Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 8:17Fortune Feimster?

  But chilling is where is the crazy.

• 8:19Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 8:20Fortune Feimster?

  Road life.

• 8:21Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 8:21Fortune Feimster?

  Well, should we hear some questions?

• 8:24Tig Notaro?

  I think we should.

• 8:25Fortune Feimster?

  Handsoms?

• 8:26Tig Notaro?

  It's the whole reason we're sitting here.

• 8:27Fortune Feimster?

  It is.

• 8:28Speaker 00

  Hi handsome, my name's Jo and I am sending you this message from very soggy London. My question today is actually more of a desperate plea for some advice. I have got to the grand old age of 35 and only just realized I might be a little bit queer.

• 8:48Fortune Feimster?

  Hmm, queer.

• 8:50Speaker 00

  I started. Realizing this actually when I watched Feel Good for the first time. So, thank you, May. Um, anyway, I digress. I have been dabbling in the dating pool now uh with ladies and it's been going okay. However, it got me thinking about how much it's a daunting experience and um the amount of unpacking and unlearning you have to do. So I wondered what advice you might give someone like me, maybe starting out late um in the whole lesbian world.

• 9:26Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I love that. The nod to May's show. That's cool. What to tell me that?

• 9:32Tig Notaro?

  I know. I'm sorry, May missed this. I uh, well, first of all, I'd like to encourage you to um check out the movie that Stephanie and I directed called um Am I Okay? Starring Dakota Johnson and um Sanoya Mizuno, an incredible cast. And it's and it's a late in life coming out story. Um Dakota plays a thirty year old, something like that, coming out. And we got a lot of great feedback that that was helpful to to watch and those people are experiencing their own coming out. Um. What do you, what do you say? I mean, I feel like it's

• 10:15Tig Notaro?

  I don't know. Fortune, what?

• 10:18Fortune Feimster?

  Um, well, first off, welcome, Jo, to

• 10:21Tig Notaro?

  That's good.

• 10:22Fortune Feimster?

  lovely lesbian world. I find it to be delightful. I love being a lesbian.

• 10:33Tig Notaro?

  You're nailing it, by the way.

• 10:35Fortune Feimster?

  Really nailing it. I have not dated men very much, other than a couple of dates here and there when I was young, younger. So it's hard to compare the two. Other than what my, I've seen, I have a lot of straight girlfriends, uh, friends who are girls, however you want to describe it. So I've seen what it's like based on their stories and observing their relationships. I mean, I think you can expect um a more, depending on the woman, a lot more talking, a lot more emotions.

• 11:14Fortune Feimster?

  Vulnerability, which drives some people crazy, but for the most part, a lot of women like that. Good and bad, you're gonna maybe beat a dead horse a bit more with a topic or an emotion or a fight. You're gonna dig in and dig in and whereas like it's a little lighter, I think with men.

• 11:36Tig Notaro?

  Based on your two dates.

• 11:39Fortune Feimster?

  Based on my two dates and my friends telling me these things. I just love it. I mean, I love just like the companionship of a woman because it's softer and.

• 11:51Tig Notaro?

  And you're gay.

• 11:52Fortune Feimster?

  And I'm gay. There's more emotions involved. I don't know. I just.

• 11:57Tig Notaro?

  You're gay.

• 11:58Fortune Feimster?

  I'm gay.

• 11:59Tig Notaro?

  I think that's all great and I welcome you as well, Joe. And I, I think what I would say is you said you've been kind of checking things out and things are going okay. I would say really continue checking things out. Find out where to go, whether it's a coffee shop or a bar or restaurant or whatever sort of activity that's going on. And then I think submerging yourself and maybe finding a friend that can come along with you to, to help you make your way through this new world to help navigate.

• 12:40Tig Notaro?

  And I think getting to know yourself in those situations will help build your confidence and make you feel a little more like, oh, this feels right. Or sometimes I think you also just need to allow it to unfold naturally. And it might take a while to fully get in touch with feelings about yourself or about other people or about a certain community. I wouldn't rush it. I wouldn't be like, God, I feel confused or this isn't fully clicking right away. Or who am I? What am I?

• 13:25Tig Notaro?

  Because Lord knows I'm still figuring out. Not that I think I'm gonna run off with a gentleman.

• 13:34Fortune Feimster?

  Firefighter on the mustache.

• 13:36Tig Notaro?

  Well, maybe.

• 13:43Tig Notaro?

  I don't know. I just think, um, trust yourself and trust your intuition and trust what brought you to this world and realization and, and just let it unfold naturally. And, and it might take a while and you might be like, I am gay, or I am bi, or, um, turns out I was just into Mae Martin. But whatever it is, um, leave, leave things open for yourself.

• 14:10Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. And I do agree, like, having some gay friends help. That helped me when I came out. I met some other lesbian friends, so they helped guide me and give me advice.

• 14:22Tig Notaro?

  Or even straight friends that are, that are like, yeah, let's go check this out, you know?

• 14:27Fortune Feimster?

  For sure. But, but I mean, as far as like, having questions.

• 14:31Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 14:32Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 14:33Tig Notaro?

  But if you don't have gay friends, your straight friend or ally who's willing to check things out with you in that world is, is a doorway to meet those gay friends.

• 14:45Fortune Feimster?

  And like any dating situation, you're gonna date people that aren't the right fit, straight or gay. So it's just about, you know, casting a wide net and just trying different people out, seeing where there's a connection.

• 14:59Tig Notaro?

  Yes, indeed.

• 15:00Fortune Feimster?

  And good luck, Jo.

• 15:03Tig Notaro?

  Keep us posted, Jo.

• 15:05Fortune Feimster?

  Have fun being a lesbian. It's gonna be the greatest time of your life.

• 15:17Tig Notaro?

  Next question.

• 15:24Speaker 05

  Hey, handsome. This is your pretty little lady friend Sarah giving you a call from Pencil Turkey. And I was curious to know what your wildest travel moment was where you were in a situation and looked around and just thought, this would never happen at home.

• 15:38Tig Notaro?

  Hmm. Way to travel situation?

• 15:41Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, like something wild happened.

• 15:44Tig Notaro?

  I mean, I had a wild thing happen, a travel situation. I've had many.

• 15:52Tig Notaro?

  But it doesn't really fit into the this wouldn't happen at home, but I mean, it definitely wouldn't have happened at home. So I guess it does fit in there.

• 16:00Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm. Let's hear it.

• 16:01Tig Notaro?

  I was on the road in my very early days of doing stand up and I was doing uh, one nighter gigs, which are pretty terrible, like performing in the Ramada Inn Lounge. Um, and in saloons, talking to the backs of cowboys uh, under a disco ball. Uh, collecting my seventy five dollars at the end of the night and a beer and a, you know, piece of pizza and then stay at some dingy motel and I was driving along, I was in Washington State, I was low on gas.

• 16:40Tig Notaro?

  The only money I had left to my name, this is not an exaggeration, was the change in my ashtray of my car.

• 16:51Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 16:51Tig Notaro?

  Just knew I was going to run out of gas.

• 16:55Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 16:56Tig Notaro?

  I'm driving along, I see these two guys hitchhiking. They look completely feral and filthy.

• 17:04Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, no.

• 17:05Tig Notaro?

  And I'm like, well, I'm gonna run out of gas, so

• 17:08Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 17:09Tig Notaro?

  I should just go ahead and choose my murderers rather than let them choose me. And I pull up and they come running up to my car. They get in.

• 17:19Fortune Feimster?

  Did you say, hey, are you guys murderers?

• 17:22Tig Notaro?

  No, I figured we'd leave that as a surprise. And uh, they get in the car. They have English accents.

• 17:29Fortune Feimster?

  Mm, that's nice.

• 17:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I'm right away thinking, and they were like, oh, my God, we can't believe you stopped. We've been hitchhiking for so long. We just walked out of the woods after three weeks.

• 17:40Fortune Feimster?

  Three weeks?

• 17:41Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, they were like, nobody has stopped. And I was like, I never would have stopped.

• 17:46Fortune Feimster?

  You're like, do you have money for gas?

• 17:48Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I said, first of all, don't get too excited that I'm picking you up. I said, because I am about to run out of gas and I just needed um, somebody to help me push my car. Something I was like, we're in this together and they were so cool. One of them was, um, I think an accountant and the other one was a web developer.

• 18:11Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, wow. And they had money?

• 18:13Tig Notaro?

  It didn't even matter if they had money because we were in the middle of nowhere.

• 18:17Fortune Feimster?

  Oh geez.

• 18:18Tig Notaro?

  Logging trucks were just passing us.

• 18:20Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 18:21Tig Notaro?

  And so we're, oh, they said they had some gas from their, um, oven.

• 18:27Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 18:27Tig Notaro?

  Their portable oven or something. And they were like, but I don't think that's gonna do you any good at this point.

• 18:33Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 18:33Tig Notaro?

  They were awesome. So I'm like, you know, I'm a traveling comedian. I'm trying to get to the next town. And so they were like, all game. They're like, we're in.

• 18:43Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 18:43Tig Notaro?

  And we started to pass this construction site.

• 18:46Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 18:47Tig Notaro?

  And they said, pull over to these guys. They're gonna have a gas can. Construction sites always have gas cans.

• 18:55Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 18:55Tig Notaro?

  So we pull up and they had money on, they had cash on them.

• 18:59Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 18:59Tig Notaro?

  They paid the construction guys to pour gas into my tank. I deliver them to the campground that they wanted to go to in the next town.

• 19:08Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 19:09Tig Notaro?

  And said, goodnight. Oh, they gave me money to fill up my tank.

• 19:13Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 19:13Tig Notaro?

  Yes. And then, and at this point in my career, I was just camping at night.

• 19:19Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 19:19Tig Notaro?

  Um, and it was, it was a while ago.

• 19:23Fortune Feimster?

  Those are the early days.

• 19:24Tig Notaro?

  It was the early days. Anyway, the guys contacted me through my website saying that when they got to the campground, they decided that they actually wanted to treat themselves to a hotel room.

• 19:39Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 19:39Tig Notaro?

  So they went to a hotel room, showered, got in bed, turned on the TV. And guess who was on Comedy Central's Premium Blend that night?

• 19:48Fortune Feimster?

  No.

• 19:49Tig Notaro?

  Is that not the most insane story?

• 19:51Fortune Feimster?

  That's wild.

• 19:52Tig Notaro?

  I know it. I know it.

• 19:54Fortune Feimster?

  I love that kind of stuff.

• 19:55Tig Notaro?

  Oh, it was amazing. And we kept in touch for a little while, but, um, I'll have to look them up and reach out again. They were, and they were brothers.

• 20:03Fortune Feimster?

  Written in the stars.

• 20:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 20:05Fortune Feimster?

  I would say I had a lot of things, um, like this would never happen when I lived in Spain. And that happened right after I graduated college. And I went to this language school in Spain to learn Spanish. And I I lived in Spain for about 10 months and I stayed at the school for a good portion of that. So there were a lot of Europeans coming in, in and out of the school often. So I would make, I would be in class with some people for like three weeks and then they would go back to their, their homes. And we would exchange numbers and I couldn't believe how many Europeans were like, if you're ever in Frankfurt,

• 20:50Fortune Feimster?

  or if you're ever in Austria, or if you're ever in Switzerland, come stay with me. I barely knew these people. I mean, some people I'd met like three times.

• 21:01Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 21:01Fortune Feimster?

  And I was broke and they, and I took them up on it. So I stayed in so many countries, in so many strangers' homes, that I just don't think that would have ever happened in the States.

• 21:16Tig Notaro?

  See, you were toying with murder too.

• 21:19Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.

• 21:20Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 21:21Fortune Feimster?

  I was, I even stayed at a hostel once where it was, it was more like a chamber. It was in Germany. It was a chamber room, they called them. And it, and it was me and a strange man in a room together.

• 21:34Tig Notaro?

  How strange.

  I mean, like I'm a stranger. I've never met him in my life. So strange to me. I'm like, you're in your most vulnerable position, sleeping.

• 21:43Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

  Next to a man in a private room. And then like, or somebody would be like, oh, I know a guy that lives in Berlin. Never met him. They're like, go stay with him. And you're, and that guy's like, yeah, come stay with me. They would, no American is like, yes, stranger, come stay with me.

• 22:01Tig Notaro?

  Well, there is that weird app where you can like crash on people's couches.

• 22:05Fortune Feimster?

  I guess, but

• 22:06Tig Notaro?

  There's like a couch surfing app or something.

• 22:09Fortune Feimster?

  And I don't know if this is still happening in Europe, because this was 20 something years ago. But I stayed in so many strangers' homes. And they were lovely. Everyone was so nice. And like even the people I'd never met before, they were like dropping me off places and taking me to dinner. I'm like, The hospitality of all of these various European folks was so high.

• 22:34Tig Notaro?

  It was like here in the South again.

• 22:36Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, but it was, it was so crazy. In hindsight, I'm just like, that is nuts.

• 22:41Tig Notaro?

  I know.

• 22:42Fortune Feimster?

  Picking me up from the train station, the airport, do not know me. Um, so thank, thank you to all those lovely Europeans because I was completely broke and it got me out of some jams for sure.

• 22:57Tig Notaro?

  That's awesome.

• 22:58Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 22:58Tig Notaro?

  What a great experience.

• 23:00Fortune Feimster?

  I know. I'm so happy I did that because the older you get, you just don't really, you have too many responsibilities to just leave for a year.

  Yeah, I'm not going to pick up two stinky bearded men off the side of like

• 23:14Fortune Feimster?

  Should we hear, um, Sarah's answer?

• 23:19Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 23:21Speaker 05

  For me, it was, um, I studied abroad in Italy and lived, well, my dorms were attached to a convent. So in the morning I would go up to the smoking section, which was on the roof and, um, have an espresso and a cigarette and I'd look across to the other roof. And there would sometimes be sisters skating, um, literally nuns on roller skates. I'm not making this up. It was the coolest, coolest thing.

• 23:47Fortune Feimster?

  I love it.

• 23:48Speaker 05

  Nuns really do have fun. And, uh, it was just an out of this world experience. Then I just thought, wow, this would never happen at home. Also, a quick shout out to May, Series 15 Taskmaster Champion. Whoop, whoop.
