  I think I tell you every day.

• 3:25Fortune Feimster?

  Nah.

• 3:25Tig Notaro?

  I say NoTaro and you go nah.

  Oh, well, it's good to see you, bud.

  Good to see you as well. I'm just getting over a little bit of a sickness.

• 3:41Fortune Feimster?

  It's going around.

• 3:42Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, sicknesses go around. They do.

• 3:45Fortune Feimster?

  Well, it's that time of year, you know?

• 3:47Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 3:48Fortune Feimster?

  Where people start

• 3:48Tig Notaro?

  'Tis the season.

• 3:49Fortune Feimster?

  coughing on each other.

• 3:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I don't even know why I try and trace back to like, where did I get this? Who was I sitting next to? You know, like, does it matter? Am I gonna call them? Am I gonna call the airline? Am I gonna?

• 4:03Fortune Feimster?

  Blame someone.

• 4:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. How are you feeling?

• 4:06Fortune Feimster?

  I'm pretty good. Um, we are home for a bit, which I'm really enjoying.

• 4:13Fortune Feimster?

  December 3rd, my Netflix special will be out, so I will be headed to New York City to promote that. So I guess I'm not technically home, but I'm home, but you know, I'm not like filming away for a while.

• 4:27Tig Notaro?

  Yes, yes, yes. I know. It's like telling people, yeah, I'm off right now. And then they know that you just went out of town for a show, or you're recording a podcast. And they're like, I thought you said you were off. And it's like, well, as far as my life goes, this is pretty off.

• 4:44Fortune Feimster?

  It's pretty off. Yeah. I'm not going to go back into theaters until April, beginning of April. I'll be doing some club dates to prep my new hour. So this, this right now, prepping new hour and promoting a special is my time off and filming handsome and taping my radio show. That's time off.

• 5:06Tig Notaro?

  Real relaxing time.

• 5:09Fortune Feimster?

  But writing a new hour is, as you know, daunting.

• 5:15Tig Notaro?

  I'm right in the middle of it.

• 5:16Fortune Feimster?

  I just never, I always think I'm never gonna have any more to say.

• 5:21Tig Notaro?

  I know. Same.

• 5:22Fortune Feimster?

  I just am like.

• 5:24Tig Notaro?

  Same, meaning I'm, I think that about you. I'm like, Fortune is not gonna have anything else to say.

• 5:30Fortune Feimster?

  See, at least on our handsome pod, we're always being asked questions, which I love. I love it when our listeners ask questions, when our friends ask questions. You ask, you're very good about asking me questions. I like that.

• 5:44Tig Notaro?

  I'm good at asking you questions. Look, I just asked you one. Why do you say that? I mean, May, you're saying I'm better. You're saying I'm better than May, especially since May isn't here right now. We can go ahead and.

• 5:58Fortune Feimster?

  We're all equally handsome in our skill sets.

• 6:02Tig Notaro?

  But you feel like I specifically am good at asking you questions?

• 6:05Fortune Feimster?

  You're good about saying, tell me more about, you're like, because I'll say something off the cuff for like, I'll mention a little something and you'll be like, why is that?

• 6:14Tig Notaro?

  Or, yeah, go back. I don't understand what that was.

• 6:17Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. And that make, that forces me to be like, oh, well, let me think about what that was.

• 6:24Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Look at that. Even in your time, on your time off.

• 6:27Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 6:29Tig Notaro?

  This is really, you're not having any time off. You're. Doing your radio show, podcasting, working on a new hour and thinking.

• 6:38Fortune Feimster?

  That's right, and treading water.

• 6:40Tig Notaro?

  Still.

• 6:41Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 6:42Tig Notaro?

  Fortune.

• 6:43Fortune Feimster?

  I know.

• 6:43Tig Notaro?

  Marie, that's so.

• 6:44Fortune Feimster?

  Fortune Marie.

• 6:45Tig Notaro?

  I have questions.

• 6:46Fortune Feimster?

  Okay.

• 6:47Tig Notaro?

  Are you still listening to podcasts when you do it?

• 6:50Fortune Feimster?

  I am. It just helps.

• 6:52Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I was gonna say, and does it feel like it flies by, or do you find yourself treading going, okay, how much longer? Okay, how much longer?

• 6:59Fortune Feimster?

  Um, when I'm like just being lazy, I have a little bit of that, but if I'm in the, if I'm just letting myself go, I'll just be in the moment, listening and treading and not, not worried about the time.

• 7:14Tig Notaro?

  I've heard some people get in touch with us and me directly that they've started treading as well. I don't know if people have told you that, but.

• 7:22Fortune Feimster?

  That's awesome. Well, you're the originator of it, so you would be the one to tell.

• 7:25Tig Notaro?

  I invented treading. Yeah, but you've really taken it on, which is, I'm very jealous, you know, I'm, I'm up in Toronto and I'm not able to, to do my regular treads.

• 7:37Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 7:37Tig Notaro?

  There's a gym in my building, so I'm doing stationary cycling and elliptical stuff and lifting some weights here and there. Trying to keep my body moving.

• 7:47Fortune Feimster?

  That's great.

• 7:48Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, but I do love a tread.

• 7:50Fortune Feimster?

  A tread's fun. It's easier in the summer when it's warm. It does get a little, like I have to prep more.

• 7:58Tig Notaro?

  Did I tell you about treading in the cold without heating the pool?

• 8:02Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know if you did.

• 8:04Tig Notaro?

  Okay, I, I did that with a friend of mine, Kit.

• 8:11Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 8:11Tig Notaro?

  Who lives in my neighborhood and we did that in his pool. And, um, and I didn't think I was gonna last.

• 8:20Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 8:20Tig Notaro?

  And it was, you know how people do cold plunge?

• 8:23Fortune Feimster?

  Oh yeah, that seems hard.

• 8:25Tig Notaro?

  Okay, have you done that before?

• 8:28Fortune Feimster?

  I have not.

• 8:29Tig Notaro?

  Okay, I don't cold plunge regularly. I've done it one time. And then the closest to that that I ever did was get into Kit's pool that was really cold. And we treaded for an hour.

• 8:41Fortune Feimster?

  Oof.

• 8:41Tig Notaro?

  And I'm telling you, it was, it was a situation. However, I feel like I got a very similar experience that people that cold plunge got. Because I got out of that pool feeling even better than regular treading.

• 9:00Fortune Feimster?

  Wow.

• 9:00Tig Notaro?

  And my mental state was through the roof. I felt like I could do anything in the world.

• 9:07Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 9:08Tig Notaro?

  When I got out of that pool, that cold pool.

• 9:11Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 9:11Tig Notaro?

  Treading. I'm telling you.

• 9:13Fortune Feimster?

  Such a long, such a long time. People polar plunge, whatever it's called, an ice plunge for like three minutes.

• 9:19Tig Notaro?

  I know. And this wasn't a polar plunge by any stretch, you know?

• 9:23Fortune Feimster?

  It was chilly.

• 9:24Tig Notaro?

  It was probably in the sixties, the pool.

• 9:28Fortune Feimster?

  The which is cold.

• 9:29Tig Notaro?

  It's cold.

• 9:30Fortune Feimster?

  I hate this puppy to eighty-nine, baby.

• 9:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it was cold, but I'm telling you.

• 9:35Fortune Feimster?

  I don't want to freeze my cooter off.

• 9:37Tig Notaro?

  Oh, Fortune Murray. I think you should freeze it off, so you'll stop talking about it.

• 9:46Tig Notaro?

  Anyway, I'm very interested to try that again.

• 9:49Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 9:50Tig Notaro?

  I challenge any of our listeners that are treading to do it in a cold pool. And tell me if your body doesn't feel exhilarated and your mind, oh my god.

• 10:00Fortune Feimster?

  You tell, take that and tell me how your cooter feels.

• 10:05Tig Notaro?

  We all have our different interests.

• 10:07Fortune Feimster?

  Let's get to our handsome listener questions, baby.

• 10:11Tig Notaro?

  Indeed.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  Hey handsome, my name is Frankie. I'm a handsome lady from Brooklyn. And my question for you is, is there an outfit in your closet that every time you wear it, you are really feeling yourself? It's, it's a pretty great outfit. And if so, tell me about it.

• 10:31Tig Notaro?

  Hmm, gosh, that's so interesting. Do you have anything off, off the top of your head?

• 10:39Fortune Feimster?

  Well, the first thing that came to mind is not something that I've, I've only worn it um, since I brought it up on my special. I had it made for my special and it is a pink suit.

• 10:54Tig Notaro?

  Hello.

• 10:55Fortune Feimster?

  And I had it tailored. It was made custom for this pretty little lady's body.

• 11:01Tig Notaro?

  Sure.

• 11:02Fortune Feimster?

  And I'll tell you, when I wore it, I was feeling myself.

• 11:09Tig Notaro?

  How many times have you worn it?

• 11:11Fortune Feimster?

  Just that, just then.

• 11:14Tig Notaro?

  And so you've only really felt yourself once?

• 11:17Fortune Feimster?

  Once, but I have a feeling that I'm gonna break it back out to maybe like dance in it or something for a video.

• 11:27Tig Notaro?

  I'm sorry. Dance in it for like, are you releasing an hour or a song, I mean?

• 11:34Fortune Feimster?

  Take a hashtag content.

• 11:36Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 11:37Fortune Feimster?

  The special's coming out. People are gonna be like, look at that handsome pink suit. We're gonna need to see you dance in it. But yeah, I will say, any suit actually, and I, again, handsome has made me re-appreciate the suits. I've, I have a couple suits that I wear that I think those are the things that where I'm feeling myself a little bit more when I'm in those.

• 12:03Tig Notaro?

  You know, this isn't like something that's really in my closet or wardrobe, but it technically is because I was, I wore it in a movie and I was given this and so it's in my closet.

• 12:20Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 12:20Tig Notaro?

  And I've worn it a few times. And I love it. Um, is like this, um, just total grease monkey, um, coverall jumpsuit from, uh, the Army of the Dead movie.

• 12:35Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I was gonna, I was wondering if it was from that. Yeah.

• 12:38Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, uh, I just, I love, it kind of makes me feel like a child too. Cause it's just like a onesie. You just get it and zip up. And, um, I always love that feeling of feeling like I'm a child, like my, my body feels like a child sometimes. I remember I had that when I had a double mastectomy right after. I was like, This is hilarious. I look like I'm eight, you know? But, uh, yeah, I think that those kind of things, yeah, that make me feel like a kid.

• 13:12Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 13:13Tig Notaro?

  Is, is what feels good to me.

• 13:16Fortune Feimster?

  I like that.

• 13:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 13:18Fortune Feimster?

  And you look good in it. I've seen the pics.

• 13:20Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, well, I'm taking fortune.

• 13:29Tig Notaro?

  So, uh, yeah, let's hear Frankie's answer, shall we?

• 13:33Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 13:34Speaker 03

  My answer to this question is that I have a navy blue linen jumpsuit that I bought a few years ago in Paris. And when I bought it, I worried that it might be the kind of thing that you try on in Paris and you think you can pull it off, but then you get home and you realize that you're not Parisian. Uh, but it turns out I can pull it off. And every time I wear it, I feel pretty cool. I feel about three inches taller. And so, yeah, I look forward to wearing it. Thanks for making every week a little bit more handsome.

• 14:05Fortune Feimster?

  Of course. Well, I'm glad that, I'm glad it worked out for her, her purchase, because that did remind me that, and maybe Paris just has this effect on people. Uh, Jax likes to go into the Frou Frou stores in Paris. And I went with her. And it's not obviously my vibe. It's somewhere I feel very out of place. Uh, but there was this pair of suede boots. And I'm not a suede boot gal. And I was like, I can rock those suede boots, I think. They weren't cheap, and I bought them. And they are in the box in which I bought them one year ago. I've not worn them once.

• 14:43Tig Notaro?

  That is hilarious.

• 14:45Fortune Feimster?

  So I think I gotta rock a suede boot somewhere.

• 14:48Tig Notaro?

  I, I love those pieces that people buy in, in a particular place, you know? I feel like that happens also in Hawaii, you know, where you're like, oh, I'll wear this shirt. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'll for sure. This is just how I am now.

• 15:04Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 15:04Tig Notaro?

  I'm gonna head home with my brand new personality and wardrobe.

• 15:09Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, yeah. It happened to me in Italy. I bought the tiny pants, the tiny short pants. I was like, because they wear those little pants.

• 15:17Tig Notaro?

  You should wear those with your suede boots.

• 15:20Fortune Feimster?

  They wear those little pants that are short, where you wear loafers with them.

• 15:24Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh.

• 15:24Fortune Feimster?

  I was like, oh, this is a new me.

• 15:26Tig Notaro?

  Hello. Could you see your cooter?

• 15:30Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. Well, I was trying to, I went through my closet like a month ago and I was like, let me try on these tiny pants to see what we're working with. And Jack started laughing and it's like, oh, why did I think I could wear tiny pants?

• 15:45Tig Notaro?

  How tiny are these tiny pants?

• 15:47Fortune Feimster?

  They're tiny. Like, you know, they're just like thinner and they, they are, they go, like, they don't cover, they end before your ankle. You know what I mean?

• 15:59Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 15:59Fortune Feimster?

  That's why you wear a shoe with no sock with them.

• 16:02Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 16:03Fortune Feimster?

  It's very Italian.

• 16:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 16:05Fortune Feimster?

  It ain't me.

• 16:07Tig Notaro?

  Oh, but.

• 16:07Fortune Feimster?

  No, no taro.

• 16:09Tig Notaro?

  It is so fun. But I have to say, Stephanie kind of became that, she, she becomes that when she goes to Colorado.

• 16:18Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 16:18Tig Notaro?

  She, she, she bought a cowboy hat, you know, she braids her hair. She, she does all of that stuff as soon as she hits the mountains. And I asked her recently, I was like, and she does not like turquoise. And I asked her, I was like. How dare she? I know. I was like, should I just go ahead and start buying you turquoise jewelry? And she was like, what do you mean? And I said, well, you're already like wearing a cowboy hat and braided pigtails. Might as well get you some turquoise.

• 16:48Fortune Feimster?

  That's funny.

• 16:49Tig Notaro?

  She says no so far. But that is really a fun thing when people buy outside of their world.

• 16:57Tig Notaro?

  And then come home and go, oh.

• 16:59Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. What was I thinking?

• 17:01Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. All right. Do we have another question?

• 17:05Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 17:06Tig Notaro?

  Let's hear it.

• 17:07Speaker 04

  Hey, handsome pod. My name is Crystal and I am from Galita, California. My question is about humor and compatibility. So whenever I meet someone new, I usually try to get them to laugh and sometimes they're not receptive to my humor. And I panic and I don't know what to do. So I'm curious to know, what do you all do when you meet someone? And you're just not matching on the same type of humor or similar humor. You just can't make them laugh.

• 17:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh, that's never happened to me. I've seen you bum socially and professionally.

• 17:48Fortune Feimster?

  It's true.

• 17:51Tig Notaro?

  It's interesting. I, I, I think people that aren't easy to make laugh right away, I'm drawn to them.

• 17:59Fortune Feimster?

  That's so funny, cause I'm like, not my person.

• 18:03Tig Notaro?

  And they might not be my person, but like, I am drawn to them. I'm so curious about them. I'm so curious what does make them laugh. And um, I think that if you try really hard to make people laugh when they're not laughing, that's likely not gonna go anywhere. And you'll probably get less and less funny to them, but.

• 18:27Fortune Feimster?

  Or annoying.

• 18:28Tig Notaro?

  Or annoying, but also there have been people that I haven't understood their, their um, sense of humor and they haven't understood mine. And then we hit this sweet spot where it's like, oh, I get you now. And then it becomes this really exciting. I, this happened to me on a job recently with an actress where I was like, I've never met anybody like that. I don't really understand you. And it wasn't bad. It was just more of like, this is an alien to me.

• 19:01Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 19:02Tig Notaro?

  And then slowly but surely, I was like, ah, I, I get you.

• 19:10Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 19:11Tig Notaro?

  And I could tell she got me. And um, and we've, you know, we've been friendly ever since, but.

• 19:18Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 19:18Tig Notaro?

  Of course, it's so fun when you just hit the jackpot with somebody and you're off and running and you're like, oh my God, this is my new best friend.

• 19:26Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 19:27Tig Notaro?

  I just think there's something so fun to both of those.

• 19:30Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, when you find that chemistry.

• 19:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 19:33Fortune Feimster?

  I think when I first met you, I, it took me a minute to, to realize when you were joking and when you weren't, cause you were so dry at times.

• 19:43Tig Notaro?

  I've heard that before.

• 19:44Fortune Feimster?

  And so at fir- at first I would be like, wait, I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

• 19:50Fortune Feimster?

  But then, once I got you and your humor, it was so funny to me.

• 19:54Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm. Well, thank you.

• 19:56Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 19:57Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I I've been taken the wrong way many times and I don't mean to be.

• 20:03Fortune Feimster?

  Right. Well, just your delivery is so deadpan sometimes.

• 20:07Tig Notaro?

  Most times.

• 20:08Fortune Feimster?

  You're like, wait, wait, what?

• 20:12Tig Notaro?

  Well, sometimes people say to me, like, I don't know if you're joking right now or not. And I always say, I don't either. I have no clue.

• 20:21Fortune Feimster?

  I would say with the people that are harder to make laugh, I don't really try to crack that nut. I'm just like, oh, Janice has a real stick up her ass.

• 20:35Tig Notaro?

  It's always Janice. Every time it's Janice.

• 20:39Fortune Feimster?

  Janice is a tough nut to crack.

• 20:41Tig Notaro?

  Janice, you need to relax.

• 20:43Fortune Feimster?

  I know. So I think I I don't I don't usually push too much. I just kind of go, I clock it of like, oh, okay, I'm not for Janice.

• 20:54Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 20:55Fortune Feimster?

  And kind of move on.

• 20:57Tig Notaro?

  It's always funny when you're, when I say it's always funny, but it is when you're being funny and there is, and people are just answering directly, straightforward, no hint. There's, there's nothing registering with them that there's anything funny going on.

• 21:18Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 21:19Tig Notaro?

  And that is always very amusing to me. I'm like, wow, I would have to stop right now and be like, this is, and of course, we just talked about how you didn't know either. But the only, like, people that, even if they really tried to figure out, they just think this is a serious, straight conversation. And I would have to flag that it's not.

• 21:46Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 21:47Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 21:47Fortune Feimster?

  I will say that if there is a person that I've met who I didn't make a laugh and we still were around each other's, like, say it was on set or somewhere. And then in time, they, I did then make them laugh.

• 22:02Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 22:03Fortune Feimster?

  There is such a victory in that.

• 22:05Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yeah.

• 22:05Fortune Feimster?

  Where you're like, didn't, you weren't necessarily trying to, but it happened. You're like, yes.

• 22:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, that's what I was saying about that actress. It was like. I really, she almost felt like an alien.

• 22:17Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 22:18Tig Notaro?

  And, and there's nothing, I love that feeling of feeling like somebody's an alien. And not understanding their personality.

• 22:27Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 22:27Tig Notaro?

  Really feeling like, I have never met a person on this planet like you.

• 22:34Fortune Feimster?

  Interesting.

• 22:36Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 22:36Fortune Feimster?

  That isn't as exciting to me.

• 22:39Tig Notaro?

  Hmm.

• 22:39Fortune Feimster?

  I'm more just like, I'm not their cup of tea. Moving on.

• 22:44Tig Notaro?

  Well, you want to hear Crystal's answer?

• 22:46Fortune Feimster?

  I sure would.

• 22:47Tig Notaro?

  I wonder if her last name is Clear.

• 22:49Fortune Feimster?

  Crystal Clear.

• 22:52Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 22:54Speaker 04

  For me, again, I think that's why I'm looking for some answers, but usually, again, I panic. Um, but then I think I go into a mode of either trying harder to make them laugh, uh, by trying out different jokes, which still doesn't work. Um, and then I just go into asking questions about them. And I guess that's a, a healthier response rather than boosting my own ego. Um, but yeah, thanks.

• 23:23Tig Notaro?

  Thank you, Crystal.

• 23:24Fortune Feimster?

  Thanks, Crystal.

• 23:25Tig Notaro?

  Your answer is clear.

• 23:27Fortune Feimster?

  Hmm.

• 23:29Tig Notaro?

  Yes, yes.

• 23:30Fortune Feimster?

  We heard you loud and crystal clear.

• 23:34Tig Notaro?

  That's right.

• 23:38Fortune Feimster?

  Do you know who wanted to say hi?

• 23:40Tig Notaro?

  Does he have two eyes?

• 23:43Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe.

• 23:44Tig Notaro?

  Does he have a cooter?

• 23:46Fortune Feimster?

  Nope.

• 23:47Tig Notaro?

  Hmm, I don't know. Who is it? Oh, Biggie.

• 23:54Fortune Feimster?

  Look at him.

• 23:56Tig Notaro?

  So cute. Go to YouTube right now. Go to YouTube right now. Biggie's naked. I can see Biggie's private part.

• 24:04Fortune Feimster?

  How dare you?

• 24:05Tig Notaro?

  Well, you're the one that showed it to me.

• 24:07Fortune Feimster?

  Boy, taking a little nappy poo.

• 24:10Tig Notaro?

  You said he wanted to say hi, so I thought he was awake. He really looks like a miss mix between you and Jax.

• 24:18Fortune Feimster?

  Doesn't he?

• 24:19Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 24:19Fortune Feimster?

  I think he looks a lot like me.

• 24:22Fortune Feimster?

  Isn't that the most beautiful boy? Anyway, sorry handsome listeners.

• 24:26Tig Notaro?

  Go to YouTube, right now.

• 24:29Fortune Feimster?

  Well, this was fun. I always love hearing from our pretty little listeners.

• 24:32Tig Notaro?

  I love hearing their voices too, not just their questions. They're so, I mean, I immediately conjure up exactly what they look like, what they're wearing.

• 24:42Fortune Feimster?

  Do they have ponties on?

• 24:44Tig Notaro?

  Well, you of course. Well, cooters, ponties, that's your, that's your department.

• 24:50Fortune Feimster?

  I like it when they tell us where they're from.

• 24:53Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm. Yeah. Please keep sending your questions in. We love answering them.

• 24:58Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 24:58Tig Notaro?

  And anything else before we go here?

• 25:02Fortune Feimster?

  Um, just that we love you. Kisses on your mouth.

  Kisses on your mouth.

  Uh, get your handsome merch, get a hoodie, get a, yeah, goes.

• 25:14Tig Notaro?

  A hat?

• 25:15Fortune Feimster?

  Tee that can last throughout the year.

• 25:18Tig Notaro?

  Sure can.

• 25:19Fortune Feimster?

  Stickers.

• 25:21Tig Notaro?

  Those last all through the year too.

• 25:22Fortune Feimster?

  Those sure do. And yeah, keep sending us questions and don't forget to listen to us next week when all three of us are reunited. And it feels so good.
