• 2:59Mae Martin?

  Interested in death doulas.

• 3:01Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, me too. I mean, holy cow. But I'm like, I just love being in the mountains. I can't pretend like I don't. My heart and soul just expand and take everything in.

• 3:14Fortune Feimster?

  Pretend like that's not happening.

• 3:17Tig Notaro?

  I'm gonna stop from here on out.

  Let it go.

  And then uh, my old friend Tony from Denver is um, headed up here. Yeah, Tony's on his way up here.

• 3:29Mae Martin?

  Tony.

• 3:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, Tony is the one and only man that confused me. Um.

• 3:35Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 3:36Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, he was, I thought I told you about him, May, when we went to lunch.

• 3:39Fortune Feimster?

  Touched on it.

• 3:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 3:41Mae Martin?

  Does he look like Pitbull? I know you're.

• 3:43Tig Notaro?

  Does he? No, he does not look like.

• 3:44Mae Martin?

  Touch on it?

• 3:47Tig Notaro?

  He does not look like Pitbull. But um, he's just a really interesting smart. He's a painter. He's a, he cooks. He uses, he's a gardener. He uses his garden in his kitchen. He can fix cars. He builds bicycles.

• 4:07Fortune Feimster?

  This is turning me straight. What are you doing, Tig?

• 4:10Speaker 04

  He makes really good coffee.

• 4:12Tig Notaro?

  He makes not really good coffee. Thomas knows, Thomas knows Tony.

• 4:16Mae Martin?

  Tony Gray. Turned straight. Yeah, seriously.

• 4:20Tig Notaro?

  He's the best.

• 4:21Mae Martin?

  I'm picturing Mark Ruffalo, by the way. That's my mental image.

• 4:23Tig Notaro?

  No, no, no, no.

• 4:24Fortune Feimster?

  I'm picturing more rugged.

• 4:26Tig Notaro?

  No, he's not rugged. He's very, he kinda dresses like um.

• 4:31Tig Notaro?

  Like, uh, he's, I don't know.

• 4:35Fortune Feimster?

  Just is like this.

• 4:36Mae Martin?

  Yeah, you mimed almost a fedora there is.

• 4:38Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, like he'll wear a fedora, like delivering, um, papers, um, you know, I wouldn't, you wouldn't be surprised to catch him in, um, some suspenders.

• 4:48Fortune Feimster?

  Shirtless.

• 4:49Tig Notaro?

  He's, he's into fashion, you know?

• 4:51Fortune Feimster?

  Is he shirtless under the suspenders?

• 4:54Tig Notaro?

  Well.

• 4:55Fortune Feimster?

  A little alternative?

• 4:56Tig Notaro?

  No, no, no.

• 4:58Mae Martin?

  So.

• 4:58Tig Notaro?

  He's in a band, he's a singer and songwriter.

• 5:01Mae Martin?

  Of course.

• 5:02Tig Notaro?

  He does it all.

• 5:02Fortune Feimster?

  Is he, is he taken or single?

• 5:05Tig Notaro?

  Uh, he's single unless there's like a new, uh, situation, but we have a glorious two bedroom apartment and we're gonna go on the river tomorrow. He's gonna go to the reception with me tonight. He's gone to my panel, you know, we just have a packed.

• 5:20Mae Martin?

  That's so fun.

• 5:22Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 5:22Mae Martin?

  What are you gonna do on the river? Like kayak or?

• 5:25Tig Notaro?

  No, we're gonna, um, uh, I believe we're gonna be in a raft. Uh, my friend. Did, wait, we've talked about Fun Home, right? The musical? Do you know Beth Malone? Who is the star?

• 5:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 5:38Tig Notaro?

  Phenomenal actor singer. She lives out here in Colorado and so she and her wife are taking us, um, on the river.

• 5:47Mae Martin?

  I gotta get to Colorado. I'm a, I'm a mountain.

• 5:50Tig Notaro?

  You're a mountain man.

• 5:51Mae Martin?

  Yeah, get me there, yeah.

• 5:53Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, we gotta get you there.

• 5:54Mae Martin?

  Blew my mind and yeah, Colorado's another level.

• 5:57Tig Notaro?

  Have you been to Banff?

• 5:59Mae Martin?

  Never. And it was like the, the power and peacefulness of those giant mountains that.

• 6:05Tig Notaro?

  Yes, sir.

• 6:05Mae Martin?

  Like, oh God, you soak it up.

• 6:08Tig Notaro?

  Yes, sir.

• 6:08Mae Martin?

  They've been there since so long before we were around and they'll be there long after we're gone.

• 6:14Tig Notaro?

  Or something.

• 6:14Mae Martin?

  They've been there since at least the mid sixties.

• 6:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I'm just like, I'm in my, I'm in my, uh, element here. And, um, health and mountains and Tony.

• 6:26Mae Martin?

  Huckleberry Tig, yeah.

• 6:28Tig Notaro?

  Huckleberry Tig has been let loose.

• 6:31Mae Martin?

  If you see a little river pebble or something that calls to you, pick it up for me.

• 6:37Fortune Feimster?

  Cause you'll do a spell with it?

• 6:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, well, I'll honor it, I'll honor it, you know?

• 6:42Tig Notaro?

  What will you, well, how do you honor a, a river pebble?

• 6:46Mae Martin?

  Sort of keep it by my bed.

• 6:47Tig Notaro?

  By the way, it reminds me of Julian Lennon's song.

• 6:51Mae Martin?

  Which one?

• 6:52Tig Notaro?

  Do you know that line?

• 6:53Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, that one, the river pebble?

• 6:57Tig Notaro?

  How? Stinkin' dare you. When I told you I'm in my element.

• 7:05Fortune Feimster?

  Julian Lennon.

• 7:06Tig Notaro?

  River Pebble? It's close. There's a line in his song that says, "Sitting on a pebble by the river, playing guitar."

• 7:14Fortune Feimster?

  Sounded like River Pebble to me.

• 7:15Tig Notaro?

  Well, I led you into that when I said, "That reminds me of..."

• 7:20Fortune Feimster?

  Sitting on a river pebble?

• 7:21Tig Notaro?

  No, "Sitting on a pebble by the river, playing guitar."

• 7:25Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I like that.

• 7:26Tig Notaro?

  And it's smoother than saying, "Sitting on a rock."

• 7:30Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, Pebble's better.

• 7:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, but it's also, if you're sitting on a pebble, why are you even mentioning it in the song, Julian?

• 7:37Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, what are you, the princess in the pea? You know what I mean?

• 7:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh, absolutely, me.

• 7:42Fortune Feimster?

  You know what I'm saying? You two are on the same wavelength today. I love it.

• 7:46Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I love you too. What's going on? What's wrong with you?

• 7:50Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, nothing's wrong with me.

• 7:51Tig Notaro?

  Why are you so miserable?

• 7:53Fortune Feimster?

  We've had, well, I did just get my butthole checked.

• 7:57Tig Notaro?

  Wait, I'm sorry, for real?

• 8:00Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I called a colonoscopy.

• 8:03Tig Notaro?

  You got that today?

• 8:05Fortune Feimster?

  Yesterday.

• 8:06Tig Notaro?

  I was gonna say, there's no world you've already woken up from a colonoscopy.

• 8:11Fortune Feimster?

  Honestly, I could have done the podcast yesterday. It didn't make me loopy like, um, I heard people around me waking up from their anesthesia and they were loopy and I was just like, "Hey, what's up?"

• 8:22Tig Notaro?

  And people were waking up being like, "Where am I? Who is it?" "Where's my butthole?"

• 8:26Fortune Feimster?

  One guy was like, "Where did time go?"

• 8:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 8:32Fortune Feimster?

  And I was like, "Who is this?" "What is it? Where do you think I went during this time?"

• 8:39Tig Notaro?

  Nuh-uh.

• 8:40Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, and I was like, "What is happening over there?" I just woke up like, "Ow, my, I just woke up going, owie, my butthole."

• 8:49Tig Notaro?

  I wish we had a video of you waking up.

• 8:51Fortune Feimster?

  They definitely heard that. I had an endoscopy, is that how you say it?

• 8:56Tig Notaro?

  Ooh, yeah.

• 8:57Fortune Feimster?

  A throat thing, down the throat and then up the butt, same tube.

• 9:01Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my. Same dirty tube.

• 9:04Fortune Feimster?

  Oh God, I'm kidding. But um.

• 9:08Tig Notaro?

  But um is right.

• 9:10Fortune Feimster?

  Listen, I didn't get to eat solid foods for 24 hours. It was a nightmare. I don't know how people intermittent, do intermittent fasting. I don't know how skinny people just skip all these meals.

• 9:25Tig Notaro?

  Wait, what do you mean skip all these meals?

• 9:28Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, there's certain people that just don't eat because.

• 9:31Tig Notaro?

  Oh, oh, yeah.

• 9:31Fortune Feimster?

  You know, they're trying to get ready for a swimsuit calendar or something.

• 9:36Tig Notaro?

  What kind of swimsuit?

• 9:38Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know.

• 9:39Tig Notaro?

  I'm wearing one tomorrow.

• 9:41Fortune Feimster?

  But I don't live my life like that. I look forward to every meal and I had nothing to look forward to.

• 9:48Mae Martin?

  I didn't know that you have to be out for those because it wouldn't be kind of fun to see what's inside.

• 9:53Tig Notaro?

  Well, they can show you a scan.

• 9:55Fortune Feimster?

  I was glad to be out. Yeah, they do have pictures of my B-hole in that folder in there.

• 10:00Tig Notaro?

  Did you sign on?

• 10:02Fortune Feimster?

  No, not yet.

• 10:04Fortune Feimster?

  But he said my colonoscopy was great. It had no polyps, nothing. He said, clean as a whistle.

• 10:11Mae Martin?

  Oh, did he make that noise?

• 10:13Fortune Feimster?

  And he did, and he did this.

• 10:15Tig Notaro?

  That is not the kind of whistle I would want to be putting to my mouth.

• 10:19Fortune Feimster?

  There was a polyp in my stomach. They removed. He thinks it's benign, TBD.

• 10:26Mae Martin?

  A polyp is like a little growth, like a.

• 10:29Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, like tissues have gathered.

• 10:32Tig Notaro?

  Could be just a meeting.

• 10:34Fortune Feimster?

  Could just be a meeting. I do have acid reflux in case anyone was worried about me. I'll take care of that. Don't worry.

• 10:41Tig Notaro?

  How do you take care of it?

• 10:42Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I think a pill.

• 10:44Mae Martin?

  Alkaline.

• 10:47Fortune Feimster?

  My, the biggest discovery is that I have a very hazardous, his words, pathway in my throat.

• 10:58Mae Martin?

  What?

• 10:59Fortune Feimster?

  Um, it's very, very narrow and I have a lot of tissue in my neck apparently and my tonsils go up against my throat. So he said, I should never have any kind of surgery when I have a cold. It could be very dangerous for me.

• 11:15Mae Martin?

  So your regular, your, your regular.

• 11:18Fortune Feimster?

  I said, there's anything I can do about it. He said, no.

• 11:21Mae Martin?

  He just said it's, it's narrow.

• 11:22Fortune Feimster?

  It's just super narrow.

• 11:25Tig Notaro?

  And he was like, just. Take that information and enjoy your life.

• 11:29Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I just have to know when I have any sort of elective, anything like a colonos, anything that involves anesthesia. Yeah. To not, he said, you can't have a runny nose, no cold.

• 11:43Tig Notaro?

  What do you mean? Only if it's elective, it should be any.

• 11:46Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, if my life were in danger, I don't think we can be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

• 11:50Tig Notaro?

  Oh, oh, I see.

• 11:51Fortune Feimster?

  You know what I mean?

• 11:52Tig Notaro?

  Right. But you should still tell people, hey, I got a tiny throat.

• 11:55Fortune Feimster?

  I got a case of the tiny throat. Guys, it did work out that I'm not over here, you know?

• 12:02Tig Notaro?

  Brushing your teeth, yeah. So you were diagnosed with tiny.

• 12:06Fortune Feimster?

  Brushing my teeth.

• 12:09Tig Notaro?

  You were diagnosed with tiny throat.

• 12:14Fortune Feimster?

  I got diagnosed with tiny throat.

• 12:15Mae Martin?

  But good for you for being on top of it all, going and getting all those things. I will put that off.

• 12:20Fortune Feimster?

  I have a new doctor who is relentless and it's a concierge type doctor. I am splurging. I'm splurging because I don't have children and I don't have to send anyone to college.

• 12:33Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 12:33Fortune Feimster?

  I was like, what am I doing? I need to make my health a priority. Uh, so I'm gonna spend.

• 12:38Tig Notaro?

  You should be at Aspen Health Fest.

• 12:41Fortune Feimster?

  I should be, dig? I should be right there in your two bedroom apartment.

• 12:45Tig Notaro?

  No, thanks.

• 12:46Mae Martin?

  Yeah, whoa. Yeah, fortune can bunk with Tony.

• 12:49Fortune Feimster?

  You should know I have a tiny neck, though.

• 12:52Tig Notaro?

  Tiny throat. That you were diagnosed with tiny throat.

• 12:57Fortune Feimster?

  So, Tony, there's only, we're only gonna cuddle, bud. But, um, yeah, so I, uh, I'm trying, I've got a bazillion appointments because I've not done a bunch of health things in a very long time.

• 13:11Mae Martin?

  Same.

• 13:12Fortune Feimster?

  And, uh, she has just been like, you need this and this and this and this and this and this.

• 13:17Mae Martin?

  That's pretty satisfying to get it all done. Does your butthole hurt today?

• 13:21Tig Notaro?

  Good question, May.

• 13:23Fortune Feimster?

  Thank you for asking.

• 13:24Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 13:25Fortune Feimster?

  It's actually good. It's fine. I don't have a tiny butthole.

• 13:29Mae Martin?

  So you got a tiny throat and a loose butthole?

• 13:33Fortune Feimster?

  So my neck was sore um from the from the thing in my throat, but

• 13:38Tig Notaro?

  Of course, you got tiny throat, yeah.

• 13:41Fortune Feimster?

  But um, other than that, we're A okay over here, pal.

• 13:45Tig Notaro?

  Hmm.

• 13:46Fortune Feimster?

  So that, so yeah, sorry. Sorry. It was a little cranky. I'm just now coming out of my trauma.

• 13:53Tig Notaro?

  I'm in love with the mountains and Tony and you're like boring.

• 13:58Fortune Feimster?

  No, I love it. No, I'm actually very happy that you're there and I think you and Tony are gonna have a great week.

• 14:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 14:04Fortune Feimster?

  Aspen's beautiful.

• 14:06Tig Notaro?

  Duh.

• 14:07Fortune Feimster?

  Duh. I've never been in the non-wintertime, though.

• 14:12Tig Notaro?

  That's what's happening right now.

• 14:13Mae Martin?

  I wouldn't want to go in the wintertime. That seems like a different crowd. That's like a

• 14:17Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, the wintertime is so great there, though.

• 14:20Mae Martin?

  Oh, really?

• 14:20Fortune Feimster?

  But I've heard both seasons are amazing.

• 14:23Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my God. Colorado in the summer, anytime. I mean, it's it's so exquisite.

• 14:28Mae Martin?

  I want to go. I'm going to Idlewild later this week.

• 14:31Tig Notaro?

  Nice.

• 14:31Mae Martin?

  Never been.

• 14:32Fortune Feimster?

  It'll be nice. It'll be hot.

• 14:34Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 14:35Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, because it's down there near Palm Springs, right?

• 14:38Mae Martin?

  No, no idea. Did not know that.

• 14:40Tig Notaro?

  You don't need to know where it is.

• 14:42Fortune Feimster?

  Just so you know, in the summer, Palm Springs is like one hundred and ten degrees.

• 14:46Tig Notaro?

  What are you, a detective?

• 14:47Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, and Idlewild is not. I think Idlewild's better because there's more shade. There's trees and stuff. It's more foresty.

• 14:56Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 14:56Fortune Feimster?

  But it will be hot.

• 14:59Mae Martin?

  Okay, I'm into that.

• 15:00Fortune Feimster?

  Shall I look up the weather for you?

• 15:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 15:02Tig Notaro?

  My makeup artist lives in Idlewild.

• 15:05Mae Martin?

  Oh, really?

• 15:06Tig Notaro?

  Who Thomas also knows.

• 15:07Mae Martin?

  Your makeup artist?

• 15:08Tig Notaro?

  Yes, I've worked with her for fifteen years.

• 15:14Mae Martin?

  She'll have a lot of time to chill in Idlewild.

• 15:15Tig Notaro?

  I am.

• 15:16Mae Martin?

  You only meet her once a year for five minutes.

• 15:18Tig Notaro?

  Well, you know, she has other clients, but I've worked with her for fifteen years and she is a delight and she's a real talent.

• 15:25Mae Martin?

  Oh, maybe I

• 15:26Fortune Feimster?

  How do you spell this?

• 15:27Mae Martin?

  Meet up with her and she could talk to me about lip taint and like what I'm doing.

• 15:31Tig Notaro?

  I'm sure she'd love to. She listens to the podcast.

• 15:35Mae Martin?

  Rules. What a girl.

• 15:36Tig Notaro?

  She's real cool. Her name's Stephanie. I surround myself with those.

• 15:41Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, you do. Oh, here's how you spell it. I'm looking it up. Talk to someone yourself.

• 15:46Mae Martin?

  Well, so I have this tree in the back. It's a palm tree. I was so excited to have a tree on my property. Like, what a, again, what an honor to have, you know, a big bendy palm tree. But then a couple of the people in the gardeners were like, this is dangerous. It's dying. It's about to fall onto sunset or onto the little house where Matt lives with his wife. And so I said, okay, I guess I have to cut it down. And then I was reading all these articles about, and this is gonna, I can just hear the comments on, online, not that I read them, saying, you know,

• 16:26Tig Notaro?

  Sounds like you might.

• 16:28Mae Martin?

  Gullible, or I'm a conspiracy theorist, or I'm immature. But what, basically, what if trees are sentient beings? And there is, this article came out, like, we don't know. Science might in 100 years be like, can you fucking believe they were cutting down trees? Like, they have networks of roots. They talk to each other. You know, we don't know. And so suddenly, I'm worried about, with all these fires, I'm like, do I want to anger the tree gods and the tree networks?

• 16:58Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, why are they telling you to cut it down?

• 17:00Mae Martin?

  Because it might kill Matt. So I'm weighing up.

• 17:10Mae Martin?

  Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking that I know the regional folklore before visiting a new area? A goblin's curse be upon me. I pride myself on buffing up on local legends and myths before my arrival, so I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know what's said to lurk under bridges in this region.

• 17:27Fortune Feimster?

  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 such as terms, conditions, and availability. Allstate, North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.

• 17:44Fortune Feimster?

  If its roots aren't, if its roots aren't rooted enough, then you don't really have a choice.

• 17:50Mae Martin?

  I don't know about the roots. I should check on that.

• 17:53Fortune Feimster?

  Is it dead? Is that, is it dead? Is that why?

• 17:55Mae Martin?

  Well, no, it's still living, but I can see that it's dying.

• 17:59Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 18:00Mae Martin?

  But it's still alive and it's so beautiful and it's worked so hard to live there.

• 18:04Fortune Feimster?

  And it, does it, it hangs right over the guest house?

• 18:07Mae Martin?

  Pretty much. It's right next to there.

• 18:09Fortune Feimster?

  Does it say, I'm gonna kill you?

• 18:10Mae Martin?

  Yeah, it whispers at night.

• 18:11Fortune Feimster?

  And there's no way to trim it?

• 18:13Mae Martin?

  Trim it? No, it's just a tall palm, you know? And Tig, you had a tree fall, right?

• 18:19Tig Notaro?

  Hmm, yes, I did during El Nino and we're doing-

• 18:23Mae Martin?

  Forget that.

• 18:24Tig Notaro?

  We're, yeah, it destroyed the garage and the swimming pool and-

• 18:29Mae Martin?

  Just to quickly, I, I was seeing it the other day. I was just gonna text Stephanie and be like, remember that night? It was the most surreal that I was with Stephanie in a restaurant, all the lights go out.

• 18:39Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh.

• 18:40Mae Martin?

  Then we noticed that a giant electrical pole is just swaying in the wind. It was like the apocalypse slowly spreading.

• 18:46Tig Notaro?

  You were on a date with my wife?

• 18:47Mae Martin?

  We were, we were about to do a show and yeah, we were on a romantic date prior.

• 18:52Fortune Feimster?

  It was a, by candlelight. I remember we looked over the candlelight and saw the rain.

• 18:57Mae Martin?

  Us being like, should we panic? Like the slow, and then I think you called and were like, well, a tree fell on the guest house. And it was like this slow, like, I think we gotta get out of here and get to our families. Like-

• 19:08Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 19:09Fortune Feimster?

  You gotta leave his date and get out of here.

• 19:12Tig Notaro?

  You gotta get back to your wife, Stephanie.

• 19:16Mae Martin?

  But yeah, so you, you guys think I should cut it?

• 19:18Tig Notaro?

  I mean, it depends on how you feel about that.

• 19:21Fortune Feimster?

  It might not be right now, but if it's continuing to get worse in time, you will have to.

• 19:26Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 19:26Tig Notaro?

  I mean, I think the fall, I mean, funny it's called that, is when El Nino is supposed to really-

• 19:33Fortune Feimster?

  Oh yeah. It is supposed to be bad this year.

• 19:35Mae Martin?

  Oh, really?

• 19:36Tig Notaro?

  It's supposed to be a really, really bad El Nino this year.

• 19:39Mae Martin?

  Okay, it's not worth it.

• 19:40Tig Notaro?

  And that's why I'm doing house prep for any potential, I'm not, I'm not, you know, I mean, we didn't have control over what happened because it was our neighbor's tree and we asked him to trim it or remove it and he said no. And, uh, and we were like, well, we have concerns because it's a eucalyptus tree and those fall very easily.

• 20:03Mae Martin?

  Mm hmm.

• 20:04Tig Notaro?

  And, and he said, well, um, it would be, um, part of the reason he bought the house was because of that tree. And then weeks later.

• 20:15Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 20:15Tig Notaro?

  The tree falls and destroys everything and he scrambled away and really, really blew us off. It was wild.

• 20:25Mae Martin?

  His, his insurance didn't cover it?

• 20:28Tig Notaro?

  Ours had to.

• 20:29Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 20:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Yeah, that was a real rough lesson to learn. That's why we're like, really getting on any sort of preparation.

• 20:39Mae Martin?

  I needed to hear this, but this is embarrassing because I, I had asked already and got a quote from the gardener about removing it and it was all booked and ready to go. And I then basically had this conversation with this poor guy where I was like, I don't want to anger the tree gods. I gotta call this off. And what if it's a sentient being? So now I gotta go back and say, sorry about, about that. I was being crazy.

• 21:00Tig Notaro?

  And to go back to you being crazy.

• 21:02Mae Martin?

  Your gardener's just like. Yeah.

• 21:04Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know.

• 21:05Tig Notaro?

  You're saying that people online say that you're a conspiracy theorist and stuff?

• 21:11Mae Martin?

  Well, I think I'm a curious minded person.

• 21:14Tig Notaro?

  I know you are.

• 21:16Mae Martin?

  I think I.

• 21:17Fortune Feimster?

  You're open to suggestions.

• 21:18Mae Martin?

  For sure. And I, sometimes for comedic effect as well, but also I don't do a lot of supplemental research before I get pretty amped up about an idea.

• 21:28Tig Notaro?

  You don't have that kind of time.

• 21:30Mae Martin?

  Exactly.

• 21:31Fortune Feimster?

  We didn't say my facts were hard facts.

• 21:35Tig Notaro?

  No.

• 21:36Mae Martin?

  I also do think like it's, I think a lot of the things that are considered woo are gonna be backed up by science and time. And we just, I think we're just in our infancy as a species. We don't understand anything. We don't know anything.

• 21:50Tig Notaro?

  Also, I don't think you or our podcast can be.

• 21:56Tig Notaro?

  Called any sort of conspiracy theorist.

• 22:01Mae Martin?

  I know. I know. Also, like, I'm really, it is a, after the Epstein files, I'm like, how do we believe anything? You know, or how, well, nothing is too outlandish. So it is a weird time if you're someone like me. I should, this is the time where I should be actually making sure my sources are good. Cause like, I'm like, what the hell is going on?

• 22:22Tig Notaro?

  Check your sources, bud.

• 22:24Mae Martin?

  Check my sources.

• 22:25Fortune Feimster?

  I think people are on pins and needles to find out what the temperature in Idlewild is gonna be.

• 22:29Mae Martin?

  Oh, please.

• 22:30Tig Notaro?

  Oh, let's go to the weather now.

• 22:33Mae Martin?

  Thursday? Thanks. Yeah.

• 22:34Fortune Feimster?

  This Thursday?

• 22:35Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 22:36Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, you're actually going at the perfect time, my friend.

• 22:39Mae Martin?

  Oh, great.

• 22:39Fortune Feimster?

  It's only gonna be around 79, 78 max, which for down there is a dream.

• 22:45Mae Martin?

  Oh, amazing. Yeah.

• 22:47Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe it doesn't get as hot down there in that area.

• 22:50Tig Notaro?

  Well, wait, did you not have your facts straight?

• 22:52Fortune Feimster?

  I, no, I, I didn't. And then I backed it up with, um, research.

• 22:59Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 22:59Mae Martin?

  I'm going for a few days with Parv and she, she does tend to throw a surprise in the, like, we're, I know where we're going for two of the days. And then one of them is a, is a surprise.

• 23:11Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, y'all are definitely going to some sort of like naked, um, sex orgy club.

• 23:17Mae Martin?

  I don't think so.

• 23:18Fortune Feimster?

  Like in the woods, though, like a woods version of it.

• 23:21Tig Notaro?

  It's not called Let Me Out. What are those things?

• 23:25Mae Martin?

  Oh.

• 23:25Tig Notaro?

  Escape room.

• 23:27Fortune Feimster?

  Let me out.

• 23:28Mae Martin?

  I thought you were just saying that.

• 23:30Fortune Feimster?

  Let me out rooms.

• 23:33Fortune Feimster?

  Let me out.

• 23:36Fortune Feimster?

  That's Tig as soon as you walk into an escape room. Let me out.

• 23:41Mae Martin?

  I like the idea of a, an escape room in a forest, though, because they're all in, you know, in big cities. But what if you actually had to drive to a cabin in the woods?

• 23:50Fortune Feimster?

  What, like a Hunger Games?

• 23:52Tig Notaro?

  And all those sentient, uh, trees.

• 23:56Fortune Feimster?

  Well, you're gonna have to keep this posted. You're gonna have to keep this posted because I feel like somehow this is gonna involve y'all in a nudist colony.

• 24:03Mae Martin?

  I don't know.

• 24:05Fortune Feimster?

  I think so.

• 24:06Tig Notaro?

  How would it not?

• 24:07Fortune Feimster?

  I know, right Tig? I don't know why May doesn't think this is even a possibility.

• 24:11Tig Notaro?

  It's like May doesn't know themself. Huh?

• 24:14Mae Martin?

  These days we're. Well, we did a fun role play the other night that was totally non-sexual. It was just two, it was just two characters called Glamular and Flagellin. And they were just sort of two nerds and I was in heaven. We did it for like an hour.

• 24:29Tig Notaro?

  Do a little, give us a little some-

• 24:31Fortune Feimster?

  Just talking to each other as these people?

• 24:33Mae Martin?

  Yeah, they worked in a, they worked in some kind of factory and then they decided-

• 24:39Fortune Feimster?

  A button factory. Hi, my name is Joe.

• 24:42Tig Notaro?

  Oh no.

• 24:43Fortune Feimster?

  I got a wife and three kids and I work in a button factory. One day, my boss came and he said, Joe, are you busy?

• 24:52Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I said no.

• 24:54Fortune Feimster?

  To turn the button with your right hand. Go on.

• 24:58Mae Martin?

  When this, I, I just had such a flashback to when you first did that and the total confusion Tig and I felt.

• 25:05Tig Notaro?

  Oh, you didn't know about it either, May?

• 25:07Mae Martin?

  No.

• 25:07Fortune Feimster?

  No, y'all both had never heard it. And guess what? It then went viral.

• 25:13Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 25:14Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, well, so did my cancer diagnosis.

• 25:18Fortune Feimster?

  That went more viral.

• 25:23Tig Notaro?

  Wow, I for some reason imagined you both knew because I think that the singers, they are Canadian, right?

• 25:31Mae Martin?

  Oh, it's Sharon, Sharon Lewis and Bram. Yeah, I didn't know it. I only know, um, oh.

• 25:36Tig Notaro?

  Who's in your backyard?

• 25:37Mae Martin?

  I don't know.

• 25:38Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, who was that?

• 25:40Mae Martin?

  Someone just went by again.

• 25:42Tig Notaro?

  Go to Hulu.

• 25:43Mae Martin?

  Oh, wait.

• 25:44Tig Notaro?

  Wait, you don't know that person?

• 25:46Mae Martin?

  No, I do know.

• 25:46Fortune Feimster?

  You think they're chopping down your tree?

• 25:49Mae Martin?

  I don't know him, but he's fixing the sprinklers in the front. After these fires, I've got now like a really intense sprinkler system.

• 25:58Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, good.

• 25:58Mae Martin?

  I, my mom, I, I told my parents about these fires right by my property and that it's an arsonist. She, I don't know if part of me sort of- It's nice when someone is freaking out on your behalf because you feel cared for. Like, I knew she'd freak out. And then she, her suggestion was, she was like, oh my gosh, she was like, you need to hire a 24 hours a day security guard at the, I was like, I'm not going to do that.

• 26:27Tig Notaro?

  Think how exhausting those hours are.

• 26:30Mae Martin?

  I know. And she was like, you need to have sprinklers that are just trained on the street. They're just spraying like the street and put up cameras and, you know, call the government.

• 26:41Fortune Feimster?

  You have insurance, right? Fire insurance?

• 26:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah. And I, I have put another camera up and I'm just, I got fire blankets, fire extinguishers, and a big old hose. But, um, so far.

• 26:54Tig Notaro?

  Now, is it also just nice to, even as an adult, to know that your mother not just freaks out, but is trying to come up with a plan to save her child?

• 27:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah, it was nice. It was nice, actually. Yeah. Yeah, because I could have just not mentioned it because what parent wants to hear there's an arsonist around? But I think part of me wanted to have them be like, okay, let's figure this out. You know what I mean?

• 27:18Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, that's not, it makes me think about like, man, if Max or Finn called me with that, it'd be tough to not just.

• 27:26Mae Martin?

  Spring into action mode.

• 27:28Tig Notaro?

  Move nearby and just watch the fire.

• 27:32Fortune Feimster?

  We're already worried about me falling off a cliff.

• 27:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, we're not even your parents.

• 27:37Fortune Feimster?

  Then you add the fire to it.

• 27:39Mae Martin?

  I know.

• 27:40Tig Notaro?

  A fiery ball falling off.

• 27:42Fortune Feimster?

  And a cliff.

• 27:43Mae Martin?

  And the tree now. Yeah, no, I think the fires are going to be fine, although I, like, two blocks away yesterday, there was another small fire started by an arsonist. So I don't know. At least it's one of my.

• 27:56Tig Notaro?

  Do you have a fire extinguisher?

• 27:57Mae Martin?

  Yeah, two, I bought two and big fire blankets.

• 28:00Tig Notaro?

  Do you know how to use them?

• 28:01Mae Martin?

  No idea. What, just pull the trigger, I guess.

• 28:05Tig Notaro?

  Okay, because that's, that's a problem is a lot of people have fire extinguishers and they either go. Uh, sour, they're expired, or they don't know how to use them.

• 28:15Mae Martin?

  Oh, I didn't know they could expire.

• 28:18Fortune Feimster?

  You know how to use them, Fire Marshal Tig?

• 28:20Tig Notaro?

  I don't, but I dated a woman years ago who, um, worked for like a fire supplies, like, company. And, um, and yeah, I could have the information wrong. I don't have my facts straight ever either, but I do think it's probably good to know how to use it and make sure. I, I, I think it's also that you need to check and make sure that it's, it's not, I think, I think I'm right.

• 28:46Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I, that sounds familiar. I think there's like a pin that you have to pull out probably, or I'll read the brochure. Yeah.

• 28:52Fortune Feimster?

  I thought you were right, like a grenade.

• 28:54Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Isn't it weird?

• 28:56Fortune Feimster?

  A grenade for you.

• 29:00Mae Martin?

  I've never done that on this pod.

• 29:01Fortune Feimster?

  I loved it. I loved it.

• 29:03Mae Martin?

  Fortune.

• 29:04Fortune Feimster?

  I want anyone and everyone to bust out a song at any time that it moves them.

• 29:09Tig Notaro?

  When I was at the grocery store once, there was a ham that was tiny and looked like a ham grenade.

• 29:18Mae Martin?

  Great stuff. Great.

• 29:20Tig Notaro?

  It's even better if you saw this thing. It was truly that big and it had all of the same markings on it.

• 29:28Tig Notaro?

  And I was like, oh my God, this is a ham grenade.

• 29:31Mae Martin?

  Were you alone just saying that to the?

• 29:33Tig Notaro?

  No, I was with this other woman I dated years ago.

• 29:37Fortune Feimster?

  Someone got around, Jesus.

• 29:39Mae Martin?

  Imagine if this podcast.

• 29:40Fortune Feimster?

  How many girlfriends have you had?

• 29:42Mae Martin?

  If this had been made during Tig's wild era, then you would be the one we'd be like.

• 29:47Tig Notaro?

  I don't know that my era was too wild.

• 29:51Fortune Feimster?

  But you, you did have a lot of girlfriends, right? How many?

• 29:54Tig Notaro?

  Get off my ass.

• 29:56Fortune Feimster?

  I tell us the rough estimate.

• 29:59Tig Notaro?

  I have never gone through and counted.

• 30:00Fortune Feimster?

  You need to count and on our next pod, let us know.

• 30:04Tig Notaro?

  Well, the ham grenade girl is the one you know, Fortune, where you're like, I remember you were dating her.

• 30:10Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 30:10Tig Notaro?

  Remember?

• 30:11Fortune Feimster?

  Says it all.

• 30:11Mae Martin?

  I do remember that.

• 30:12Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, she's who I was at the grocery store with.

• 30:15Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 30:16Tig Notaro?

  She's that mysterious actress.

• 30:19Tig Notaro?

  I think we talked about the other day.

• 30:20Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 30:22Tig Notaro?

  And then the other one's back in Austin.

• 30:25Fortune Feimster?

  Okay. We just left a trail of women all over the United States.

• 30:28Tig Notaro?

  Oh, there's, yeah. And the ham grenade girl wasn't even my girlfriend. I think we were just involved for like months and months on end.

• 30:36Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 30:37Tig Notaro?

  Anyway.

• 30:38Fortune Feimster?

  Were you one of those people who sort of almost gave the boyfriend experience but wouldn't label it? So you'd be like, it would go on for months undefined and they'd be like, I think we're together. And he'd be like, oh, no.

• 30:50Tig Notaro?

  No, I think it all kind of naturally, I think the ham grenade actress. I think.

• 30:57Fortune Feimster?

  Please make a movie called Ham Grenade.

• 31:00Tig Notaro?

  I can't wait to tell her. I refer to her as the ham grenade actress. But I think we knew we were on the same page. I think I was a little more into her than she was into me, but that's fine.

• 31:14Fortune Feimster?

  Well, because she's more like straight than.

• 31:18Tig Notaro?

  She's not terribly straight. Yeah. I mean, definitely. Men, boyfriends and ex-husband and.

• 31:27Fortune Feimster?

  If you catch, if you catch somebody in the right mood, they're like, ugh, men.

• 31:33Tig Notaro?

  But no, she's, she has, she's had her share of, of women situations.

• 31:39Fortune Feimster?

  Got it.

• 31:40Tig Notaro?

  But, um, but anyway, uh, no, I think, I think it was always kind of.

• 31:48Tig Notaro?

  You know, maybe somebody liked the other one a little more. And so I didn't go into girlfriend mode.

• 31:55Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, you just had your fun.

• 31:58Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, but I also committed and I wasn't like cheating on people or, you know, doing anything. Yeah, but I just mean like, I was, um, I dated and.

• 32:10Fortune Feimster?

  You dated.

• 32:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 32:11Fortune Feimster?

  You dated.

• 32:12Tig Notaro?

  I'm not interested in dating anymore. Sorry.

• 32:14Fortune Feimster?

  Well, now you're married.

• 32:15Tig Notaro?

  I am.

• 32:16Fortune Feimster?

  So that's good.

• 32:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. But those were my wild days. My wild days were like, I would be with somebody for a chunk of time and then I'd be with somebody else for a chunk of time.

• 32:24Fortune Feimster?

  Serial, serial monogamy.

• 32:26Tig Notaro?

  Not terribly wild.

• 32:28Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I'm more of a, of a, I like being in a relationship.

• 32:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 32:32Fortune Feimster?

  I'm more of a monogamy gal myself.

• 32:34Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. I didn't, I didn't think I was until now.

• 32:38Fortune Feimster?

  I didn't enjoy like the days of like, just dating and it not meaning anything.

• 32:43Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 32:44Fortune Feimster?

  I like to dig deeper than that.

• 32:47Tig Notaro?

  Actually, I just said I wasn't into monogamy until now. I meant more like long-term relationship. I just didn't really think in those terms.

• 32:55Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 32:56Tig Notaro?

  But now, those are the terms of the agreement. We signed an agreement. We have a legal document.

• 33:02Mae Martin?

  Always legal binding judgment.

• 33:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, if we have an argument, well, we are legally bound.

• 33:09Fortune Feimster?

  Wow.

• 33:10Tig Notaro?

  To one another.

• 33:11Fortune Feimster?

  I can attest that that doesn't always.

• 33:15Tig Notaro?

  The contract doesn't always hold up.

• 33:17Fortune Feimster?

  Sometimes the contract expires.

• 33:25Tig Notaro?

  And didn't we talk about that on here?

• 33:28Fortune Feimster?

  What's that?

• 33:29Tig Notaro?

  Should people revisit in like a 10, seven or 10-year increment?

• 33:34Mae Martin?

  I liked that idea.

• 33:35Tig Notaro?

  And say, how are you? Yeah.

• 33:37Mae Martin?

  Yeah, but that should be like annual.

• 33:39Fortune Feimster?

  I think that's not a bad idea.

• 33:42Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 33:43Fortune Feimster?

  Cause some, some people do just, you do just change.

• 33:47Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 33:48Fortune Feimster?

  And go different, down different paths and want different things.

• 33:52Tig Notaro?

  That is true.

• 33:53Fortune Feimster?

  And what you wanted when you got, you know, got together like 10 years prior, 15 years prior is gonna sometimes be very different than what the other person's evolved into.

• 34:04Tig Notaro?

  Right, but if you're both evolving together and making those twists and turns, it's, it's really something. And I think often about when people in relationships say, "You're not who I married." It's like, I would hope not.

• 34:20Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 34:21Tig Notaro?

  You know?

• 34:21Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 34:22Tig Notaro?

  Like, that's not.

• 34:23Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 34:24Tig Notaro?

  I mean, everybody's changing.

• 34:26Mae Martin?

  Yeah. You, you, you're, I read something that was like, you're meant to be kind of the guardian of each other's solitude as well as, as well as like partners and so entwined and everything. You also are like protecting that person's right to evolve and their, their space, their ability to like.

• 34:44Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, yeah. Well, I think as long as your fundamental wants align, you can work within that. But if you fundamentally want very different things, there's, it leaves you a little stuck.

• 35:00Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 35:01Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 35:01Mae Martin?

  Can I compliment your yellow lamp, Fortune?

• 35:04Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, take as it looks like a butt plug.

• 35:06Tig Notaro?

  I never said anything of the sort. Never even noticed it.

• 35:12Fortune Feimster?

  Well, it's new. I don't know if it'll end up being a, I don't know if it'll end up staying because I feel like I need two lamps and I only have one.

• 35:21Tig Notaro?

  Why do you need two?

• 35:22Fortune Feimster?

  To like, you know.

• 35:24Mae Martin?

  Yeah, symmetry.

• 35:25Tig Notaro?

  So the table doesn't flop?

• 35:27Mae Martin?

  I'm confused by the black, by the, the size of the table and the black of it. So is that a, is there a tablecloth on it? You look offended.

• 35:39Tig Notaro?

  Well, it's just interesting to have the background that you've had for so long and then act like Fortune's background is confusing.

• 35:46Mae Martin?

  You're right. Still haven't covered up this.

• 35:49Fortune Feimster?

  This one with newspaper in the window.

• 35:51Mae Martin?

  God, you're right. And this, it's a mess in here. Yeah.

• 35:54Fortune Feimster?

  No, mine's a mess behind me. It'll be at some point, things will go on the wall. I'm gonna get, I'm going to a frame shop this week to get some things framed.

• 36:03Tig Notaro?

  That sounds fun.

• 36:05Fortune Feimster?

  This is all just kind of there. It's just little, little things.

• 36:10Mae Martin?

  And you got stuff that fans have given you. And I want to say, because on one of the mini-sodes, Tig and I were talking, a fan had made me this really intricate puzzle that I, that became kind of alarming. Do you remember that Tig?

• 36:24Tig Notaro?

  Doesn't even sound remotely familiar.

• 36:27Mae Martin?

  Why'd I bring it up? It was, I basically, it was a puzzle, but then when I opened it, it kind of was like talking about my history, doing drugs, and it was very personal and it was kind of like,

• 36:39Tig Notaro?

  Yes, yes, yes.

• 36:39Mae Martin?

  Remember that?

• 36:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 36:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 36:41Fortune Feimster?

  Interesting.

• 36:42Mae Martin?

  So I talked about it and then I just got.

• 36:44Tig Notaro?

  Oh, it hurt your feelings.

• 36:46Mae Martin?

  It sort of hurt, sort of hurt my feelings. It kind of unsettled me.

• 36:50Tig Notaro?

  Your feelings.

• 36:50Mae Martin?

  Yeah, it just unsettled me.

• 36:52Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 36:53Mae Martin?

  And I just got the loveliest letter from that person. Through my agent that was just like, like an email that was just like, I am so sorry that was so misjudged and this is what I meant. And like, I'm so sorry. And now I feel awful for bringing it up. But it was so nice to hear from them. And I was like, okay, yeah. They were just like, that was so weird that I, I, I did that in a weird way and it was meant to mean this and. Like, I like your work. And I was like, oh, that's so nice. I got it's

• 37:24Fortune Feimster?

  It's the best.

• 37:25Tig Notaro?

  When there's like a misunderstanding or there's a little bump and then

• 37:29Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 37:31Tig Notaro?

  And you get it, you get it sorted. It's sweet.

• 37:34Mae Martin?

  I went pure Canadian responding back being like, no, I'm sorry.

• 37:39Fortune Feimster?

  I'm sorry.

• 37:40Mae Martin?

  I'm so sorry.

• 37:41Fortune Feimster?

  For interpreting it that way.

• 37:43Tig Notaro?

  Should we get to our question?

• 37:44Fortune Feimster?

  Let's get to our question.

  Um, it's gonna be so fun. You guys have to watch it. Uh, it will be on Netflix. Uh, Will Ferrell is asking today's question.

• 39:33Speaker 05

  Hey handsome pod, uh, it's Will Ferrell and, uh,

• 39:39Speaker 05

  here's my question for the day.

• 39:43Speaker 05

  Fortune asked me to, to send in a question and she said, make sure when you, when you record this, that's super early in the morning. And I said, why does it matter? This is a podcast. She says, no, it has to be really early in the morning. So, anyway, I got up so early to record this. Anyway, we are currently in the midst of hosting the World Cup here in the United States. So I thought I would, I would ask a sports question.

• 40:22Speaker 05

  Oh, I got up so early. I don't know why I had to be so early. Anyway, there are only eight countries that have ever won the World Cup. Can you name those eight?

• 40:40Mae Martin?

  Wow. Oh, he's trying to make us be smart. God, Will.

• 40:44Tig Notaro?

  I can name them.

• 40:45Mae Martin?

  His face just makes me laugh. I mean, that is the highest compliment. That's just someone with funny bones.

• 40:52Tig Notaro?

  He has funny bones.

• 40:53Mae Martin?

  Oh, man. He's a true, I mean, yeah.

• 40:56Fortune Feimster?

  I know. Working with him has been like such a full circle moment. Like, I really did like in high school, just constantly record on the VCR, him and Molly Shannon. And Molly Shannon's in the Hawk as well.

• 41:10Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 41:10Fortune Feimster?

  I would, I would record their sketches and memorize them like word for word. And then I would perform them for my friends and like the two of them and Sherry O'Terry were like, I was obsessed with him. And I, when I signed with this, with the, my agents who I have now, they were like, who is your dream person to work with? And I was like, Will Ferrell. And like to now be like, not only working with him, but like, I'm like his right-hand man in this show.

• 41:42Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 41:43Fortune Feimster?

  Little man.

• 41:44Mae Martin?

  Like all your scenes are together.

• 41:46Fortune Feimster?

  Almost, yeah, all our scenes are together. We work so closely together. We spent like all this time, we became genuine friends. I'm going, speaking of World Cup, I'm going with him to the World Cup game in two nights.

• 41:58Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 41:59Fortune Feimster?

  To watch USA play. By the time of this recording, we, you know, it's a little bit further into the World Cup.

• 42:05Tig Notaro?

  Who's the US playing?

• 42:07Fortune Feimster?

  Turkey.

• 42:08Mae Martin?

  Hmm.

• 42:09Fortune Feimster?

  And then the, I believe as of the airing of this podcast, the finals of the World Cup will be this weekend.

• 42:15Mae Martin?

  Is it that, it happens that soon? Holy.

• 42:17Fortune Feimster?

  Well, that'll be the, yeah, the like tw- twenty second or something, the weekend of like the July. I'm not sure exactly, but he's big into soccer. He loves sports in general and has, and goes to all the games in LA, the Kings game, the Lakers and. Um, it, and he's a part owner of LA's soccer team. So he's very heavily involved in soccer.

• 42:39Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 42:40Fortune Feimster?

  As well. So.

• 42:41Mae Martin?

  It is the greatest sport.

• 42:42Fortune Feimster?

  And it's fun to go with him.

• 42:44Mae Martin?

  Soccer is the most beautiful game and it is the greatest sport and the World Cup is the most amazing.

• 42:49Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I think Americans didn't realize, not all Americans, plenty of Americans love soccer, but so many people didn't realize how huge soccer is around the world.

• 42:59Mae Martin?

  I know.

• 43:00Fortune Feimster?

  It's like.

• 43:00Mae Martin?

  Soccer was only the sixth most po- most popular sport in America.

• 43:05Tig Notaro?

  You mean football?

• 43:06Mae Martin?

  Yeah, football until recently.

• 43:08Tig Notaro?

  How did it get called soccer after football?

• 43:11Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know. The Americans tried to do something with it different, you know?

• 43:14Tig Notaro?

  Thomas, I think Thomas is Googling it up.

• 43:16Fortune Feimster?

  Looking it up. Well, it's, these games are huge, the, you know, and like people were trepidatious about the US. Um, being the, the, um, host of it, but.

• 43:26Mae Martin?

  Well, it's the Americas. It's Canada and Mexico.

• 43:30Fortune Feimster?

  And Mexico.

• 43:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 43:31Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. And, um, but I mean, they were nervous about the American part of it.

• 43:36Mae Martin?

  Oh, right.

• 43:36Fortune Feimster?

  Being part of the hosting, just because, you know, things have been a bit all over the place here. Um, but there, it's been funny to look on TikTok. All these people from all over the world have been doing all these videos about how they've been pleasantly surprised.

• 43:51Mae Martin?

  By, by America.

• 43:52Fortune Feimster?

  By the United States and how much they enjoy it. So, um, and our country is built with all these stadiums everywhere. I mean, we have stadiums for high school football. So the ability to host these huge games has been, um, very prevalent over here. So it's been really cool to watch. There have been all these teens that these, uh, from these smaller countries that have been in the World Cup for the first time or scored their first goal. Like you had all these cool stories coming out of this, um, World Cup, but.

• 44:22Tig Notaro?

  Newsflash, guys.

• 44:23Fortune Feimster?

  What's up?

• 44:24Tig Notaro?

  Soccer is short for association football.

• 44:27Mae Martin?

  What?

• 44:28Tig Notaro?

  That doesn't make sense.

• 44:29Mae Martin?

  Doesn't make sense. That's like saying.

• 44:32Tig Notaro?

  Thomas, are you drunk?

• 44:33Fortune Feimster?

  Association football.

• 44:35Mae Martin?

  Saying a drink is short for beverage.

• 44:39Tig Notaro?

  Why isn't it called ass ball for association?

• 44:42Fortune Feimster?

  To distinguish it from other types of football.

• 44:45Mae Martin?

  Popular at the time. Okay.

• 44:47Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 44:47Mae Martin?

  I'm deep into it.

• 44:48Tig Notaro?

  Short for.

• 44:49Fortune Feimster?

  I don't feel like we got the answer.

• 44:51Tig Notaro?

  No.

• 44:53Mae Martin?

  No, it sounds like someone sneezed or coughed and it and

• 44:59Mae Martin?

  and we went soccer. It is.

• 45:00Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 45:01Mae Martin?

  I, as we're recording, we're missing the England game and it's, I'm not Googling the scores.

• 45:06Tig Notaro?

  Oh, no.

• 45:07Mae Martin?

  I'm deeply, deeply invested in Canada also is doing pretty well. By the time this comes out, Canada will be out. Probably America will be out as well, but.

• 45:16Fortune Feimster?

  Well, this is the best American team that we've had.

• 45:19Mae Martin?

  For sure.

• 45:20Fortune Feimster?

  For the, in the male side. Um, and yeah, they've been playing pretty, uh, pretty great. So I'll be curious to see how their next few games go. Um, they've, we've never, the US men's have never worn, won a world cup. Pretty confident on that.

• 45:35Mae Martin?

  They've rarely got this far. Yeah. And Canada's rarely got this far.

• 45:40Fortune Feimster?

  I have guesses as to who has won a world cup.

• 45:45Tig Notaro?

  I know the answer.

• 45:46Mae Martin?

  I would like for Ted to tell us. I think I know them.

• 45:49Tig Notaro?

  Abby Wambach.

• 45:51Fortune Feimster?

  She was on the US team. The women, the women's side has been a different story for the US.

• 45:57Tig Notaro?

  But my answer is Abby Wambach to name all the teams that won.

• 46:02Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, you want Abby to name them?

• 46:04Mae Martin?

  Or you're saying she is the country.

• 46:06Fortune Feimster?

  Who would you say, May?

• 46:08Mae Martin?

  Okay, I'm going to say Brazil, Argentina.

• 46:11Fortune Feimster?

  Are you going to keep track to Thomas? Okay.

• 46:14Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 46:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'll write these down.

• 46:16Mae Martin?

  I'm saying Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany. Argentina, France, Spain. Hmm, I want to say Portugal and.

• 46:29Tig Notaro?

  Korea.

• 46:30Mae Martin?

  North Korea.

• 46:33Mae Martin?

  And England.

• 46:34Fortune Feimster?

  I feel like we'll have, we have similar answers. Yeah, Portugal, Argentina, Spain, England.

• 46:43Mae Martin?

  I know England and Spain have won at once.

• 46:46Fortune Feimster?

  The Netherlands.

• 46:47Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 46:48Fortune Feimster?

  Um.

• 46:49Mae Martin?

  That could be.

• 46:51Fortune Feimster?

  France.

• 46:53Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 46:53Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, Germany.

• 46:56Fortune Feimster?

  How many, how many is that, Thomas?

• 46:59Speaker 04

  That's seven.

• 47:01Mae Martin?

  Oh, wow.

• 47:01Tig Notaro?

  And the Abby Wamba.

• 47:03Mae Martin?

  And Abby Wamba.

• 47:04Fortune Feimster?

  The other person would be Italy?

• 47:09Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah, Italy.

• 47:09Fortune Feimster?

  I know they're not in it right now.

• 47:11Mae Martin?

  Totally, Italy. Yeah, yeah. That's my guess, too.

• 47:15Fortune Feimster?

  Okay.

• 47:16Tig Notaro?

  All the fortunes?

• 47:17Mae Martin?

  Well, I said all of them except for, what was the Netherlands? I forgot.

• 47:22Fortune Feimster?

  Before, before we get to that answer, speaking of buttholes.

• 47:27Tig Notaro?

  Hmm.

• 47:28Fortune Feimster?

  Um, because I feel like we need to come full circle on that.

• 47:32Tig Notaro?

  Full circle.

• 47:33Fortune Feimster?

  That's right. I just filmed Hot Ones. Did I tell you that? I filmed Hot Ones with Will.

• 47:40Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 47:41Tig Notaro?

  And that has to do with buttholes?

• 47:44Fortune Feimster?

  Sure does.

• 47:45Mae Martin?

  People get diarrhea.

• 47:47Fortune Feimster?

  Because what goes in hot comes out hot, my friend.

• 47:49Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. I can't wait for this. How do you do?

• 47:52Tig Notaro?

  You don't do that right before your colonoscopy.

• 47:55Fortune Feimster?

  Ah, I would have died. I would not have, they would have tans on my colonoscopy. Um, it aired yesterday, the 13th of July on Netflix, because they're doing a special series of it for Netflix. I'd always wanted to do it because I, you know, I love chicken wings. And, but I was nervous because these are like, these hot sauces are insane.

• 48:16Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 48:16Fortune Feimster?

  Um, we did it outside, so you were given a large glass of milk, and I haven't drank regular milk in years.

• 48:24Tig Notaro?

  Gross.

• 48:25Fortune Feimster?

  And it was warm and thick. And I think, I think that messed my stomach up more than the chicken wings.

• 48:31Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 48:33Fortune Feimster?

  So the, the, I will say the wings, the fir-, like, there were certain wings that did little punches here and there. But it wasn't as crazy as I thought it was gonna be.

• 48:43Tig Notaro?

  You mean as far as the spice?

• 48:45Fortune Feimster?

  The spice. The first, like, six, that was pretty good. I was like, I was like, I'm just waiting. Now, on the eighth one, it was a sauce, some, something insanity.

• 48:55Mae Martin?

  Diablo hell sauce.

• 48:57Fortune Feimster?

  That Will and I both cried. Yeah.

• 49:00Tig Notaro?

  You should have kissed each other. You should have French kissed each other.

• 49:04Fortune Feimster?

  It was genuine pain.

• 49:06Mae Martin?

  Oh, like people become like delirious from it.

• 49:09Tig Notaro?

  And that was the final one?

• 49:10Fortune Feimster?

  That was the eighth one, but it was so hot that it made nine and 10 feel like nothing.

• 49:17Mae Martin?

  Cause your mouth was just.

• 49:18Tig Notaro?

  And you have to go through all of them?

• 49:20Fortune Feimster?

  You have to go through all 10 and um, I honestly, the, the eighth one was like legit tears down the face. Couldn't control it. Nine, 10, my mouth was already on fire, so I didn't even feel those. So it wasn't that bad.

• 49:36Tig Notaro?

  Okay, but wait, what if, there has to be people that, there have to be people that are like, I can't, I cannot go further.

• 49:44Fortune Feimster?

  I'm sure, I'm sure, yeah.

• 49:46Mae Martin?

  Like, are we saying Gwyneth, Gwyneth Paltrow got to 10, we're saying?

• 49:49Fortune Feimster?

  I think, and then it was on the 10th wing, you, cause they already, they cook them in the sauce. So I think if it was slathered in the sauce, I, that would be very difficult.

• 50:00Mae Martin?

  Oh, you were dipping?

• 50:01Fortune Feimster?

  It, no, we weren't dipping. They're, they're cooked in them.

• 50:05Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 50:05Fortune Feimster?

  I think that helps it a bit. Like if, if you were then slathered it on it, it would be almost impossible. But the 10th one, you dab in the hot sauce on top of it. But it wasn't, again, my mouth was numb from eight.

• 50:20Mae Martin?

  But the guy that hosts it, he's eating them with you every time.

• 50:23Fortune Feimster?

  He's eating all of them.

• 50:24Mae Martin?

  How much damage is that doing to his butt?

• 50:26Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know.

• 50:27Tig Notaro?

  And how do you know he's doing the same ones? He could be tricking you.

• 50:31Fortune Feimster?

  That's true. I guess you're right. They just, they put down everything in front of us.

• 50:35Tig Notaro?

  And he doesn't, he's not like.

• 50:38Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, he definitely gets a little bit of like, whoo, you know, like, I don't know if it's for the camera or not.

• 50:43Mae Martin?

  And red and.

• 50:45Fortune Feimster?

  Um, and then he, and then he does like a legit interview with you as you're doing this. But because there's three people, I think it's a, uh, cause it was me and Will and Jimmy Tatro, who's on the show as well. Um, I think it's, uh, Not as hard to answer the questions.

• 51:03Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 51:03Fortune Feimster?

  You get like a little break.

• 51:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 51:05Fortune Feimster?

  When it's all focused on you and you're eating wings. Like Conan's one is so funny.

• 51:10Mae Martin?

  It's so funny.

• 51:11Fortune Feimster?

  Cause he keeps eating it and he's like turning red. It's, but my stomach was messed up for a couple hours, but honestly more from the milk.

• 51:19Mae Martin?

  Yeah, already red.

• 51:21Fortune Feimster?

  Then, yeah, he was already red and was, um, just went nuts. So it was, it's on Netflix too.

• 51:29Mae Martin?

  Do his like quintessential scream?

• 51:33Fortune Feimster?

  He's already done it a couple times, so he was pretty tame.

• 51:36Mae Martin?

  Okay, yeah.

• 51:37Fortune Feimster?

  He just kinda, he, he was more like excited that we could all do it together.

• 51:41Tig Notaro?

  And is it a show where you typically do it with a group or you typically?

• 51:45Fortune Feimster?

  No, it's usually one person. But yeah, if anybody wants to watch me handle some wings, the, the hot ones on Netflix.

• 51:54Tig Notaro?

  And that's already on.

• 51:55Fortune Feimster?

  It, it aired, started yesterday, yeah.

• 51:57Mae Martin?

  I'm getting, I'm gonna watch right after this.

• 51:59Fortune Feimster?

  Anyway, should we hear, should Will tell us who?

• 52:02Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 52:03Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, these eight countries are?

• 52:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 52:05Tig Notaro?

  Abby Wambach.

• 52:06Mae Martin?

  If he says Abby Wambach.

• 52:09Tig Notaro?

  And remember it's Wambach.

• 52:10Mae Martin?

  Wambach, sorry.

• 52:11Fortune Feimster?

  I know, that messed me up.

• 52:12Mae Martin?

  Wambach.

• 52:13Tig Notaro?

  That's a May fact.

• 52:15Mae Martin?

  I like that.

• 52:15Tig Notaro?

  That's a Tig fact.

• 52:18Fortune Feimster?

  Oh my God.

• 52:22Speaker 05

  Okay, so here are the eight countries, the only eight countries ever to have won the World Cup. Brazil.

• 52:31Mae Martin?

  Mm-hmm.

• 52:32Speaker 05

  Germany.

• 52:33Mae Martin?

  Mm-hmm.

• 52:34Speaker 05

  Italy.

• 52:35Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 52:36Speaker 05

  Argentina.

• 52:38Mae Martin?

  Mm-hmm.

• 52:39Speaker 05

  Uruguay.

• 52:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 52:41Speaker 05

  France.

• 52:42Mae Martin?

  Mm.

• 52:43Speaker 05

  England. And the final country?

• 52:46Mae Martin?

  España.

• 52:47Tig Notaro?

  Abby Wambach.

• 52:48Speaker 05

  España.

• 52:49Mae Martin?

  Oh.

• 52:50Speaker 05

  Spain.

• 52:50Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. So Uruguay, not the Netherlands.

• 52:53Speaker 05

  I'm saying Spain.

• 52:55Mae Martin?

  España.

• 52:57Speaker 05

  All right, you guys. You're the best. I'm gonna go back to bed.

• 53:01Fortune Feimster?

  Go to bed, Will.

• 53:02Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, go snooze it off.

• 53:04Fortune Feimster?

  Did he have his alarm going off?

• 53:09Fortune Feimster?

  Okay, Uruguay. I did not know Uruguay.

• 53:12Tig Notaro?

  Wow.

• 53:12Fortune Feimster?

  Seven oh eight, not bad.

• 53:14Tig Notaro?

  Good job, guys.

• 53:15Fortune Feimster?

  I really felt the Netherlands because they're so into their soccer over there.

• 53:19Tig Notaro?

  I thought for sure Abi Wamba.

• 53:21Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, it would be nice.

• 53:23Tig Notaro?

  I was so close.

• 53:25Mae Martin?

  It'd be nice if someone won who hasn't won before this time, but also it would be great if England won. Cause it's been so long.

• 53:32Fortune Feimster?

  They haven't won in like sixty years, so.

• 53:33Mae Martin?

  I know, and they're a great team. Harry Kane. It's the way I'm into Survivor, I'm realizing if I got deeply into soccer, like if I followed the Premier League and stuff, it's got that same Shakespearean thing where there's like rivalries and.

• 53:47Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. Oh, it's so good.

• 53:48Mae Martin?

  Allegiances and yeah.

• 53:51Fortune Feimster?

  It's so fun to watch. Messi is already got a world record of goals in the World Cup. You got Ronaldo, who this might be his last World Cup. It's fun to watch all these big superstars.

• 54:03Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 54:04Fortune Feimster?

  Mbappe.

• 54:05Mae Martin?

  Mbappe's amazing.

• 54:06Fortune Feimster?

  Yamal from Spain.

• 54:08Mae Martin?

  The Canada game was really intense that I watched with Qatar. I've never seen a game like that. There were two red cards for Qatar for fouls. So they, they were down two players. There were nine people on the field and then the Qatar player tackled one of our best players and broke his leg, snapped it in half.

• 54:25Tig Notaro?

  And who's, what do you mean ours?

• 54:27Mae Martin?

  Canada. Ooh. One of my, one of my best players.

• 54:32Fortune Feimster?

  One of my best teammates.

• 54:34Mae Martin?

  Yeah, but it was crazy. So that guy's World Cup is over.

• 54:37Fortune Feimster?

  It's done.

• 54:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 54:38Fortune Feimster?

  That's the game. That's what's so dicey about it. You never know what's gonna happen.

• 54:42Tig Notaro?

  That's life, right?

• 54:43Fortune Feimster?

  It's so fun to watch. That's life. But it's, I'll definitely be watching as these finals are coming up.

• 54:51Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Oh my God. Have fun at the game.

• 54:54Fortune Feimster?

  I wanna go to a bar though. That's, it's really fun to watch the bar.

• 54:57Mae Martin?

  High Tops is like a queer sports bar.

• 54:59Tig Notaro?

  Corn dogs.

• 55:00Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Highland Park or something. Yeah.

• 55:03Fortune Feimster?

  And, and if anybody is looking for a fun new show to watch, I know I'm biased because I'm in it and May's in it, but I really think you guys are gonna love The Hawk.

• 55:16Tig Notaro?

  Have you watched the whole thing?

• 55:17Fortune Feimster?

  I've watched half of it and it's really fun and you do start to like really care about these characters. And Will's been doing a ton of press as this character Lonnie Hawkins. It's funny.

• 55:28Tig Notaro?

  Funny.

• 55:28Fortune Feimster?

  He's got the goatee and the crazy outfit. He's been, he was walking around New York with signs being like, this is a really good show.

• 55:38Fortune Feimster?

  But it's kind of that classic Will character, you know, that you love to see where he's just so committed to a ridiculous person and over the top and overly confident, but then you're still rooting for him.

• 55:50Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 55:51Fortune Feimster?

  He's just so good. It's like, it's the kind of comedy you want to see him doing in that broad comedy. You don't get to see as much anymore and with heart, y'all.

• 56:01Mae Martin?

  And you're so good in it. Fortune, I got to see you acting up close. I could barely focus because I wanted to just watch your, watch your expressions and Molly Shannon's so funny. And yeah, I'm excited for you.

• 56:13Tig Notaro?

  I just met Harper the other night.

• 56:15Mae Martin?

  Oh, Harper's a writer.

• 56:16Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, no, I know.

• 56:17Fortune Feimster?

  And part creator of the talk too.

• 56:19Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. And it was just such a joy to meet her. And I told her that like, I just, I was, yeah, I just loved Will and Harper.

• 56:30Fortune Feimster?

  I know that documentary was amazing.

• 56:32Mae Martin?

  Me too.

• 56:33Tig Notaro?

  And it's like, of course, you know, Will's a good guy, but there were just moments where you could really see his compassionate heart. Yeah. And then, and just, I love how complex and layered of a person that Harper is. Like, I just, I, I, I love that kind of person where you're like, you would never guess in a million years, one thing and then what their interests are and what their background is and, and also what Harper carries from

• 57:14Tig Notaro?

  the old world of, of, of her life into the new. And it's just, it's like, that's who this person is.

• 57:22Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 57:23Tig Notaro?

  Just through and through. And it's just, I don't know. I just, I really, really enjoyed it. And it was, well, I don't know. I don't remember where, oh, I met Harper at a party. But anyway, I just, I want to encourage people to watch that because.

• 57:38Tig Notaro?

  It's, um, it's really, really cool. I mean, obviously all of his stuff is great and ridiculous, but that's just-

• 57:45Mae Martin?

  Like you can't overstate how valuable that is to have someone as mainstream as Will, who's kind of, you know, people my parents' age who are just like, we, we don't get it, you know, we don't get pronouns, we don't get, you know, and to see someone just effortlessly lead with heart like that and-

• 58:03Tig Notaro?

  And, and, and be curious and not really fully get it or understand and want to and, uh, and then also, um, oh, I think also what's so great about the movie is Harper is the perfect example of you never know who is going through what.

• 58:24Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 58:25Tig Notaro?

  You never know.

• 58:26Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 58:27Tig Notaro?

  And so, um, for a person like Harper to come out as trans, I mean, I think spun a lot of heads around. And so it really makes you go, yeah, it could be anyone. It's not just, oh, my effeminate friend with long hair, you know?

• 58:44Mae Martin?

  Totally. And the, and the struggle and pain Harper went through, it just shows how strong those and powerful those feelings are that, that she chose to go through it because she knew there was like light at the end of the tunnel and, um, but yeah, what a nightmare to go through that.

• 59:03Tig Notaro?

  Fully. But anyway, all, I just, I just had to really acknowledge that movie.

• 59:09Fortune Feimster?

  It's a great documentary.

• 59:12Tig Notaro?

  Thank you.

• 59:13Mae Martin?

  I can't, I can't wait for The Hawk.

• 59:15Fortune Feimster?

  I know. And he, Will is just such a good guy. He really is. What you see is what you get, like a kind, like you said, he leads with his heart, compassionate person. It's a person, uh, you want to be doing well and, and that you root for.

• 59:29Tig Notaro?

  Absolutely. And he roots for others.

• 59:31Fortune Feimster?

  Mm-hmm.

• 59:32Tig Notaro?

  So, um-

• 59:33Fortune Feimster?

  So, yeah.

  I'm also filming my special July 26 in Montreal, and that just went on sale.
