  This is a HeadGum Podcast.

• 0:18Mae Martin?

  Welcome to the Handsome Pod. We're here in the Good Hand Studio, presented by Allstate.

• 0:24Fortune Feimster?

  Thanks, Allstate!

• 0:26Tig Notaro?

  Thanks, Allstate!

• 0:29Fortune Feimster?

  And thank you, guys, for tuning in. I'm Fortune Feimster.

• 0:32Mae Martin?

  Oh, I'm Mae Martin, as well.

• 0:34Tig Notaro?

  Oh, and I'm Tig Notaro, as well.

• 0:36Fortune Feimster?

  Yes, we haven't changed since the last episode.

• 0:39Tig Notaro?

  I feel like we keep getting more attractive, or at least you two do.

• 0:44Mae Martin?

  You do, too.

• 0:44Fortune Feimster?

  You're looking mighty fine.

• 0:46Tig Notaro?

  You are. That's what I wanted to hear.

• 0:48Mae Martin?

  You're looking tanned, you're looking outdoorsy.

• 0:50Tig Notaro?

  Can I show you how tanned I am?

• 0:52Fortune Feimster?

  Please.

• 0:53Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 0:53Tig Notaro?

  Have I shown you this?

• 0:54Mae Martin?

  Yeah, we noticed it on the-

• 0:55Fortune Feimster?

  Taking off the Apple Watch.

• 0:58Mae Martin?

  If you're listening, Tig is revealing the craziest watch tan.

• 1:01Fortune Feimster?

  That is quite a farmer's tan, as they call those.

• 1:03Tig Notaro?

  Yes, I farm with an Apple Watch.

• 1:07Mae Martin?

  It's good to see you, guys.

• 1:08Fortune Feimster?

  Good to see you.

• 1:10Mae Martin?

  See the little twinkles in your eyes?

• 1:12Fortune Feimster?

  Well, we don't get to see each other in person enough.

• 1:14Mae Martin?

  I know.

• 1:15Tig Notaro?

  In-studio and live shows, no offense to our Zoom recordings, but I was talking to Stephanie about it. I was like, I gotta say, the in-studio recordings and the live shows, they're electrifyingly... Like, I really, really look forward to it.

• 1:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah, me, too.

• 1:32Fortune Feimster?

  They're very, very fun. I feel like, well, because, you know, it's when you're with each other, you're picking up on each other's energy.

• 1:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 1:39Tig Notaro?

  Well, and Stephanie just went to her first in-person audition.

• 1:44Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, my gosh!

• 1:45Tig Notaro?

  In six or seven years.

• 1:47Fortune Feimster?

  Wow! I've had a couple in person.

• 1:50Mae Martin?

  They gotta bring it back.

• 1:51Tig Notaro?

  Well, this, I was gonna say auditioner, but casting director has fully brought it back.

• 1:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I think it's crucial.

• 2:00Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 2:00Mae Martin?

  Yeah. I get nervous, though, in person. I think I'm probably better on Zoom.

• 2:06Fortune Feimster?

  I think I'm better in person.

• 2:07Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 2:08Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 2:08Mae Martin?

  Because you can charm them with your games and your...

• 2:10Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, you know, the old personality gets to shine.

• 2:13Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:14Fortune Feimster?

  And Zoom, I get a little bit lazy with the lines.

• 2:17Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 2:17Fortune Feimster?

  Because I know I have it on the screen if I need it.

• 2:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 2:21Fortune Feimster?

  Whereas, in person, I have to be off-book.

• 2:23Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 2:23Fortune Feimster?

  So, I think I'm better off-book, but it's hard. It is hard to memorize.

• 2:27Tig Notaro?

  I did some off-book in-person therapy.

• 2:31Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah, me, too.

• 2:32Fortune Feimster?

  What does that mean?

• 2:34Mae Martin?

  You mean, off-book for therapy?

• 2:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I just mean, I'm normally... My therapist moved to Michigan.

• 2:39Mae Martin?

  Oh.

• 2:40Tig Notaro?

  In the pandemic, I think. Has it been that long?

• 2:44Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, it's a minute.

• 2:46Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. But, I mean, every now and then, she comes in town, and then I do in-person.

• 2:51Mae Martin?

  It's better, right?

• 2:52Tig Notaro?

  It's so much better.

• 2:53Mae Martin?

  I just started up with someone. I had one session with her months ago, and then now I've got two in the bag. I love her. Not in a weird way. I just think she's great.

• 3:03Fortune Feimster?

  Not in a weird way. I'm not obsessed with her.

• 3:06Mae Martin?

  I'm not like that.

• 3:08Fortune Feimster?

  I'm not thinking about you all the time.

• 3:10Mae Martin?

  I'm not Googling her. I did give her a Google.

• 3:13Fortune Feimster?

  I knew you gave her a Google.

• 3:14Mae Martin?

  You gotta give her a Google.

• 3:16Tig Notaro?

  You give everyone a good Googling.

• 3:17Mae Martin?

  You gotta give everyone a good Googling, just to make sure there's no weird stuff, but...

• 3:21Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, see what's up.

• 3:22Mae Martin?

  Yeah, she's really funny. That's what is the difference between-

• 3:25Tig Notaro?

  She's funny?

• 3:25Mae Martin?

  Any, like, subtly, yeah.

• 3:28Tig Notaro?

  Is that what you're looking for in a therapist?

• 3:30Mae Martin?

  It puts me, it puts me at ease.

• 3:32Tig Notaro?

  It pulls out a rubber chicken.

• 3:33Fortune Feimster?

  I'd like to chuckle after I reveal my trauma.

• 3:37Tig Notaro?

  She laughs at you.

• 3:38Mae Martin?

  She's doing bits the whole time. Yeah. No, she just like, I like it when a therapist swears every once in a while. Like, I go, "The world's fucked." She goes, "It's fucked." It makes me feel safe, you know? If she swore too much, I'd feel unsafe. If she was like, "This fucking-"

• 3:54Fortune Feimster?

  She's walking a fine line.

• 3:55Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 3:56Fortune Feimster?

  All right.

• 3:56Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I've heard my therapist cuss a couple of times.

• 3:58Mae Martin?

  Doesn't it feel cool?

• 3:59Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, where I was like, it jolted me into reality.

• 4:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah. You're like, "Oh, this is a person."

• 4:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, this is a person. It's not just a head.

• 4:07Mae Martin?

  You've had the same therapist for years now?

• 4:10Fortune Feimster?

  Since 2018?

• 4:13Mae Martin?

  Whoa, that's how it should be, right? You're building a long-term relationship.

• 4:17Fortune Feimster?

  I don't have a therapist currently, because my life is totally-

• 4:22Mae Martin?

  It's totally easy-peasy.

• 4:23Fortune Feimster?

  Everything's smooth sailing, so...

• 4:26Mae Martin?

  You're not carrying any loads.

• 4:27Fortune Feimster?

  I was seeing a therapist for a while, and then I just, it just kind of fell off.

• 4:32Mae Martin?

  It's hard to make good on those things, but I feel like every time you follow through on, like, a self-care thing for yourself, then you're teaching yourself that you value yourself. That's what I'm regurgitating what someone said to me.

• 4:46Tig Notaro?

  I've really been sticking with it.

• 4:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's good.

• 4:48Tig Notaro?

  Like, I'm, every, it's Wednesday at 7:00 a.m.

• 4:52Mae Martin?

  Whoa, it would be.

• 4:53Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I get up and I-

• 4:55Mae Martin?

  My internet would be out.

• 4:56Fortune Feimster?

  You don't like those early mornings?

• 4:58Mae Martin?

  No, that's impressive.

• 4:59Tig Notaro?

  I do have to remind myself to look at my hair and my face a bit before I get on that Zoom.

• 5:05Fortune Feimster?

  Make sure there's no, like, white creases.

• 5:07Tig Notaro?

  Anything.

• 5:08Fortune Feimster?

  What time do you wake up normally?

• 5:10Tig Notaro?

  I would say between 5:30 and 6:30.

• 5:13Fortune Feimster?

  And what time do you normally wake up?

• 5:15Tig Notaro?

  9:00, 8:00, 9:00.

• 5:17Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I'm about, like, 7:45, exactly in the middle of the two of you.

• 5:22Mae Martin?

  Isn't that so us?

• 5:23Fortune Feimster?

  It's so us!

• 5:24Tig Notaro?

  It's classic us.

• 5:25Mae Martin?

  It's so us?

• 5:26Tig Notaro?

  It is. Thomas, what time do you get up? Around 8?

• 5:29Speaker 04

  8:00 a.m., yeah.

• 5:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I feel like I know that. I know it in my heart and soul. That Thomas rises around 8.

• 5:38Fortune Feimster?

  5:30 is too much for me. That's a little too early for me.

• 5:42Mae Martin?

  But I know it would change my life. You'd get so much done, but I don't, I can't fall asleep at night. Guys, every time I drive here and we're doing in-person, I kind of am hoping that you guys will see me arrive in my car, I realize.

• 5:55Fortune Feimster?

  I did see you pull up.

• 5:57Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 5:57Mae Martin?

  But did you see that I hit the fence?

• 6:00Tig Notaro?

  Oh, I did not see that.

• 6:02Fortune Feimster?

  I think I saw you while you, maybe I saw you while you were already halfway in.

• 6:06Mae Martin?

  I pulled in, feeling good, thinking, "I wonder if this is their cars. I wonder if they saw me." And then, just like, as I was parking, just went to park-

• 6:13Tig Notaro?

  My car wasn't there.

• 6:14Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, the front fence.

• 6:15Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I just hit the front fence there.

• 6:17Tig Notaro?

  And is, how'd that feel? Just classic you?

• 6:20Mae Martin?

  A little tap, yeah, I thought-

• 6:22Tig Notaro?

  I'm here.

• 6:23Mae Martin?

  Oh, God, yeah.

• 6:24Tig Notaro?

  I dated this girl that her grandmother, she lived in a trailer as a kid, and when her grandmother would come over to visit, she'd slam into the trailer, and that's how they knew that Grandma was there.

• 6:37Fortune Feimster?

  Grandma's home.

• 6:38Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. And then also, when her grandmother went into a retirement, not retirement, like a nursing home.

• 6:45Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 6:46Tig Notaro?

  Which is pretty retired.

• 6:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 6:49Tig Notaro?

  But nursing home, she said that there was a woman in a wheelchair who said to her, she was like, "Let me out of here." And, and the girl was a very young girl, visiting her grandmother, and she, it was an elder to her. So, she opened the door, and there was a ramp, and the woman rolled herself out down the ramp, but the wheelchair went off of the ramp, and her leg came off.

• 7:21Mae Martin?

  Wait, came off?

• 7:22Tig Notaro?

  But it was a prosthetic leg.

• 7:24Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 7:25Tig Notaro?

  But she didn't-

• 7:26Fortune Feimster?

  I did pick up on that part.

• 7:27Tig Notaro?

  She didn't know that as a child, and she saw the whole thing happen, and in the child's eye view, her leg just flew off.

• 7:37Fortune Feimster?

  Just how, just how May pictured it.

• 7:39Mae Martin?

  That's what I pictured.

• 7:40Tig Notaro?

  Exactly.

• 7:41Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 7:42Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 7:43Mae Martin?

  So, yeah, of course you'd open the door for an elder.

• 7:46Tig Notaro?

  Of course, if somebody was like, "Open this door, let me out." Oh, sure, there you go. Down the ramp and off with the leg.

• 7:53Mae Martin?

  Off with the leg.

• 7:55Tig Notaro?

  With the leg.

• 7:57Fortune Feimster?

  Poor lady.

• 7:57Tig Notaro?

  Yes. I don't think she's with us anymore.

• 8:00Fortune Feimster?

  I don't put that on the list either.

• 8:02Tig Notaro?

  No, bless her.

• 8:03Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 8:05Mae Martin?

  I have something for you for your house.

• 8:07Fortune Feimster?

  You do?

• 8:07Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I brought it in.

• 8:08Fortune Feimster?

  What about my house?

• 8:09Mae Martin?

  Well-

• 8:10Fortune Feimster?

  Is it a, this is a spa for my feet?

• 8:12Tig Notaro?

  A decade.

• 8:13Mae Martin?

  This is, it looked better online when I ordered it.

• 8:16Fortune Feimster?

  Isn't it your headshot?

• 8:17Mae Martin?

  It's my headshot.

• 8:17Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, you ordered it for me?

• 8:18Mae Martin?

  Yeah, but it looked better in the picture.

• 8:20Fortune Feimster?

  Okay.

• 8:20Mae Martin?

  But it's just for your wall of things that you like, like, in your, in your office.

• 8:26Fortune Feimster?

  Let's see what it is.

• 8:27Mae Martin?

  It's just a weird print-

• 8:30Fortune Feimster?

  It's the Golden Girls.

• 8:31Mae Martin?

  Of the Golden Girls, but in my mind, it was a little bigger and a little fancier.

• 8:35Fortune Feimster?

  No, I'll find a little frame for this.

• 8:36Tig Notaro?

  And why aren't our faces on it?

• 8:39Fortune Feimster?

  I thought, I thought at first, I was expecting to see all of us-

• 8:43Mae Martin?

  That would have been better.

• 8:44Fortune Feimster?

  -in this, but I could also make that happen myself. I could put-

• 8:49Mae Martin?

  We could just cut out our-

• 8:50Fortune Feimster?

  I could cut out our faces and put it on there.

• 8:51Mae Martin?

  I should have done that.

• 8:52Fortune Feimster?

  That's very sweet, May. Thank you.

• 8:54Tig Notaro?

  Well, May's very thoughtful.

• 8:55Fortune Feimster?

  Thank you for being a friend.

• 8:58Mae Martin?

  Look at their hair.

• 8:59Fortune Feimster?

  Travel's done, going back again.

• 9:02Mae Martin?

  Still never seen an episode. Still never seen an app.

• 9:05Fortune Feimster?

  It's so good. It's written by gay men, you know?

• 9:07Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 9:08Fortune Feimster?

  It's surprising.

• 9:10Fortune Feimster?

  Sassy ladies saying words written by gay men is perfect.

• 9:13Mae Martin?

  That's the dream combo.

• 9:14Fortune Feimster?

  For sure.

• 9:15Tig Notaro?

  Well, you know, we had some renovations that are complete at the house. So it's like a brand new house.

• 9:19Fortune Feimster?

  I'm on it.

• 9:20Tig Notaro?

  Where's my present?

• 9:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah, you're right.

• 9:21Tig Notaro?

  Could I get a picture of the cast? Oh, I was gonna say the cast of Good Times, but let me put in a better request.

• 9:27Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, what you want?

• 9:27Tig Notaro?

  There is a painting in the beginning of Good Times.

• 9:31Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, yeah. With the music.

• 9:33Tig Notaro?

  It's just all these people dancing and the camera pans along that painting.

• 9:39Mae Martin?

  Is it the cast or just random people dancing?

• 9:41Tig Notaro?

  No.

• 9:41Mae Martin?

  Okay, I'm on it.

• 9:42Tig Notaro?

  It is. I've always wanted that painting in my life.

• 9:46Mae Martin?

  I'm on it.

• 9:46Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 9:47Mae Martin?

  When someone mentions something and I make a little log, like, so I'm going to see Beauty and the Beast onstage with Parv and Ama. And so I ordered, we were like, it'd be fun to go in costumes. So I ordered these full, like, a Lumiere costume, the candlestick. Parv's Mrs. Potts, the teapot, and then Ama's Chip.

• 10:07Tig Notaro?

  What, are you in a relationship?

• 10:09Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah. What am I, obsessed? And so we put them on and first of all, Parv's daughter did not like hers. She was like, it doesn't, I don't feel immersed enough. And then mine, I put on, I thought I was being really charming and fun and free and I looked in the mirror. It is the most unattractive. I can't explain it. I'll have to show you. It's like it covers all my hair. So it's like this.

• 10:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 10:33Mae Martin?

  And then I got like, it's crazy.

• 10:35Fortune Feimster?

  I've never seen your hair like that.

• 10:36Mae Martin?

  I know. And it's a big part of my, my look is like, that it's not ever like that.

• 10:41Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, that's definitely.

• 10:43Mae Martin?

  And it's got these little yellow pants that come up and a little like floofy neck and.

• 10:48Fortune Feimster?

  You're like, I'm out. I can't do this.

• 10:49Tig Notaro?

  You can't do floofy neck.

• 10:50Mae Martin?

  I can't do floofy neck and no hair. But now Parv's like, you have to. And this, I'm gonna have to go out. I'm gonna try and make it a little cooler, a little sexier.

• 11:00Fortune Feimster?

  Like, cut the sleeves and stuff?

• 11:02Mae Martin?

  Cut the sleeves.

• 11:03Fortune Feimster?

  Little muscle tee?

• 11:04Mae Martin?

  Just some yellow sweatpants instead of the little.

• 11:07Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, this is an interactive?

• 11:09Mae Martin?

  No, it's just the musical onstage, but I think people will dress up.

• 11:13Fortune Feimster?

  Why are y'all dressing up?

• 11:14Tig Notaro?

  They're in a relationship.

• 11:15Mae Martin?

  Just for fun. But I think other people will dress up.

• 11:18Tig Notaro?

  Do you?

• 11:19Fortune Feimster?

  We'll find out.

• 11:20Mae Martin?

  We'll find out, yeah.

• 11:22Fortune Feimster?

  I hope that no one else dresses up and you in this insane costume.

• 11:26Mae Martin?

  I don't even know how we'll sit down. Like, they're really big.

• 11:30Fortune Feimster?

  Someone's sitting behind you and you have the candle, the candle on the top of your head? Wait, wait, what? Wait, is it?

• 11:36Mae Martin?

  Yeah, candle, a candelabra, right? Or no, it's got.

• 11:40Tig Notaro?

  And whose idea was this to dress up?

• 11:42Mae Martin?

  Mine, I guess.

• 11:43Tig Notaro?

  Oh, no. Well, you did this to yourself.

• 11:46Mae Martin?

  I did this to myself.

• 11:47Tig Notaro?

  You did this.

• 11:47Mae Martin?

  And I, but I didn't anticipate how embarrassing I'd look.

• 11:51Tig Notaro?

  Do you still feel gung ho about?

• 11:53Mae Martin?

  I've been trying to get out of it. I said, can I be Gaston? Can I be the Beast?

• 11:56Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, how did, how did you not come up with Gaston to begin with?

• 11:59Mae Martin?

  I know. Why am I Lumiere?

• 12:00Fortune Feimster?

  That's the obvious choice.

• 12:02Mae Martin?

  I know. I know. You know how it goes, guys. It's less than a week.

• 12:07Tig Notaro?

  I.

• 12:08Mae Martin?

  I don't know what to do.

• 12:09Fortune Feimster?

  I love looking over at Tig. He's trying so hard to be invested in this.

• 12:13Tig Notaro?

  I just can't, I cannot imagine wanting to do that.

• 12:18Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 12:19Fortune Feimster?

  I would honestly, that would not be my thing.

• 12:22Tig Notaro?

  No, two against one.

• 12:23Mae Martin?

  We're big Beauty and the Beast heads.

• 12:25Fortune Feimster?

  Two against one, for sure. No, I love Beauty and the Beast. I just don't want to dress up.

• 12:29Tig Notaro?

  No.

• 12:29Mae Martin?

  I know. I think I thought this'll make a memory, you know?

• 12:33Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, honestly, you might, you guys might giggle for hours.

• 12:37Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 12:37Fortune Feimster?

  It could be great.

• 12:38Mae Martin?

  Like, Parv has a full gray wig and is a teapot. I mean, it's pretty funny.

• 12:44Tig Notaro?

  And is she into it?

• 12:45Mae Martin?

  She's very into it, but she looks gorgeous in a gray wig.

• 12:47Fortune Feimster?

  As long as y'all are into it.

• 12:49Mae Martin?

  I'm, but I'm not into it anymore. I gotta get out of this.

• 12:52Tig Notaro?

  So, let's fast forward. You're with Parv into your elderly days.

• 12:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 12:59Tig Notaro?

  And, and, and her hair is gray.

• 13:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 13:03Tig Notaro?

  Would you be okay with that?

• 13:05Mae Martin?

  Well, this was a good test. I got to see it. Yeah, that bone structure is still there. Yeah.

• 13:10Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 13:10Mae Martin?

  I found it very sexy.

• 13:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 13:12Mae Martin?

  Maybe I'm into it.

• 13:12Tig Notaro?

  Did I tell you my type?

• 13:14Mae Martin?

  No, tell me.

• 13:15Tig Notaro?

  I mean, obviously, this is not Stephanie, a description of Stephanie, but I kinda like exhausted housewife.

• 13:21Mae Martin?

  Yes, you've told me that, yeah. Like, sort of frazzled.

• 13:24Fortune Feimster?

  Really?

• 13:24Tig Notaro?

  Hmm.

• 13:25Fortune Feimster?

  What, yeah, what does that look like?

• 13:27Tig Notaro?

  I don't know, but I kind of thought, well, maybe Parvati's got that going on with the gray wig and, you know. Kinda, I like a little bit of some.

• 13:36Mae Martin?

  Like a stain on the shirt?

• 13:38Tig Notaro?

  No, like some, some wrinkling in the cleavage area.

• 13:43Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, okay.

• 13:44Tig Notaro?

  You know, just like.

• 13:45Mae Martin?

  Wrinkling in the, like, a bit of, yeah.

• 13:48Tig Notaro?

  A little bit, a little bit, you know?

• 13:49Mae Martin?

  Like she's lived.

• 13:50Tig Notaro?

  And the hair is a little askew, just, you know, like, I was just cleaning back here. How can I help you?

• 13:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 13:58Tig Notaro?

  And I'm like, oh, exhausted housewife answered the door.

• 14:01Fortune Feimster?

  What a fantasy.

• 14:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that is very fantasy. And then you're like, take a load off, girl.

• 14:06Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 14:06Mae Martin?

  Let me show you how to relax.

• 14:08Tig Notaro?

  It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but sometimes when I see an exhausted housewife, I'm like.

• 14:15Fortune Feimster?

  Va va voom.

• 14:16Tig Notaro?

  Hello.

• 14:17Mae Martin?

  Hello. I mean, school pickup and drop off must, is a hot bed.

  Because everyone's very put together.

• 15:02Fortune Feimster?

  I think I'm going to the US Open.

• 15:04Mae Martin?

  You said that so humbly and shyly.

• 15:06Fortune Feimster?

  I think I'm going to the US Open to watch tennis.

• 15:11Mae Martin?

  When is it?

• 15:12Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, where is it? I will be going September 9th. So this will have already aired. I'm sure I had a great time.

• 15:20Tig Notaro?

  I'm sure you had a blast. Tell us how the US Open went.

• 15:23Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I invited my brother, my oldest brother to go with me, so we'll see if we end up having a fun.

• 15:29Tig Notaro?

  Just the two of you?

• 15:30Fortune Feimster?

  Brother, sister bond, yeah. Just the two of us. We haven't done anything together in a long time. He hasn't, as of this recording, he hasn't told me a yes or no yet, so.

• 15:39Tig Notaro?

  Oh, he said yeah.

• 15:40Mae Martin?

  He's keeping you.

• 15:41Tig Notaro?

  You guys had a blast.

• 15:43Fortune Feimster?

  He's playing hard to get. But yeah, I'm excited.

• 15:45Tig Notaro?

  Have you been?

• 15:46Fortune Feimster?

  I've never been. I can't, and I've been playing tennis since I was five years old.

• 15:50Tig Notaro?

  Well, I see you're, what's they're called?

• 15:53Mae Martin?

  Oh, those are tennis shoes.

• 15:55Fortune Feimster?

  The model Stan Smith?

• 15:56Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 15:56Fortune Feimster?

  I almost called him Sam Smith.

• 16:00Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I've never been, so this is quite exciting.

• 16:04Mae Martin?

  Is it like there's a whole, like, the US Open, like, people dress up and wear little hats and stuff? Like, you know, the way Wimbledon or people like?

• 16:11Fortune Feimster?

  I honestly don't know. No, I don't, I don't think it's dressed up like Wimbledon. There's no blazers and stuff. It's, it's.

• 16:18Tig Notaro?

  But do they wear little tennis outfits?

• 16:20Mae Martin?

  Do they wear candelabra outfits?

• 16:21Fortune Feimster?

  No, no. It's, it's Americans, so they're always, there's some people that look really nice and other people are super cash in, like, athletic gear.

• 16:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 16:31Tig Notaro?

  Well, yeah, there was this comedian that I started out in standup with. Her name was Carol Ann Leaf. And she had a joke that I loved so much about the people, in fact, I ran into her after a million years at some Oscar event. But she had this joke about in the audience, the whatever at tennis, I don't, I don't know if it's at Wimbledon or whatever. But when women show up in their tennis outfits.

• 16:58Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 16:58Tig Notaro?

  As though they're gonna be like.

• 17:00Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, as if they're playing?

• 17:01Tig Notaro?

  Well, just, you know, they'll show up in tennis skirts and, you know.

• 17:05Fortune Feimster?

  That's so funny.

• 17:06Tig Notaro?

  And visors to watch.

• 17:08Mae Martin?

  If someone's like, we've had an injury, can someone stand?

• 17:13Tig Notaro?

  If Ms. Janet Johnson could please come down on the court, or whatever she said, anyway.

• 17:19Mae Martin?

  It's like someone dressing as a pilot for every flight, just in case.

• 17:22Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, just in case.

• 17:25Mae Martin?

  Gosh, should we do an in memoriam?

• 17:28Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 17:28Mae Martin?

  It's such a bummer, but I feel like we talk about Dolly Parton a lot on the pod. You guys are deep, deep fans.

• 17:35Fortune Feimster?

  Well, what's crazy is that the, our podcast aired the, the morning that Dolly passed. And we happened to like randomly talk quite a bit about Dolly Tig, sang one of Dolly's songs. We were talking about dressing up as Dolly.

• 17:52Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 17:52Tig Notaro?

  Wait, I'm sorry, that's on this episode that's out today?

• 17:57Fortune Feimster?

  The episode that aired a couple of days yesterday, what's today? Yesterday, yeah.

• 18:02Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. We talked a lot about Dolly?

• 18:03Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, and then she happened to pass, like, I don't, did she pass that morning or, it was at least announced that she passed.

• 18:12Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 18:12Fortune Feimster?

  And so people were like, listening to our episode, talking about her and, and, you know, how much.

• 18:18Tig Notaro?

  Whoa.

• 18:19Fortune Feimster?

  We love her and then we're getting the, these notifications about her passing as they were listening. How trippy is that?

• 18:26Tig Notaro?

  So have we gotten comments of like?

• 18:29Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, oh yeah.

• 18:30Tig Notaro?

  Where people are like, oh my gosh.

• 18:32Mae Martin?

  People are being like, what a weird coincidence. Yeah, I think they know we recorded it earlier, but yeah.

• 18:37Tig Notaro?

  Wow. It's the Katie Couric episode.

• 18:40Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:40Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 18:41Fortune Feimster?

  But, you know, obviously.

• 18:43Tig Notaro?

  We didn't know.

• 18:44Fortune Feimster?

  God, what a loss.

• 18:45Mae Martin?

  I know.

• 18:46Fortune Feimster?

  And I think the, the thing everyone kept saying is like, she just seemed like she lived forever.

• 18:51Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 18:52Fortune Feimster?

  Can I imagine a world without Dolly?

• 18:54Mae Martin?

  I know. It's like, part of your inner world dies too. Like, someone you grew up watching and, yeah. And also, when, when someone passes away and then you see all the clips of them over the decades being interviewed, and she just made it look so easy to be tolerant and compassionate, even in like, the eighties or whatever. She, she was so like.

• 19:15Tig Notaro?

  Inclusive.

• 19:16Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, be who you are, love who you are.

• 19:18Mae Martin?

  What's the big deal? Like, I'm an outspoken.

• 19:20Tig Notaro?

  Stephanie showed me a video of the Buckingham Palace, um, playing Nine to Five.

• 19:27Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 19:28Tig Notaro?

  And that really got me.

• 19:30Mae Martin?

  I know. Even in, in England, you think of her as such an Americana kind of, but yeah, it was like their brass band or their marching band playing Nine to Five, yeah.

• 19:39Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I mean, I just, people were trying to think like, is there another comparable person? Obviously, there will never be anyone like her, but there really isn't a comparable person because, I mean, truly, she went across all aisles, all different kinds of people, all different kind of backgrounds. And I don't think anyone can live up to her legacy because what we're learning, and, and a lot of people knew already, is how generous she was.

• 20:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:06Fortune Feimster?

  How the, I think she gave away.

• 20:09Tig Notaro?

  Five hundred million.

• 20:10Fortune Feimster?

  Five hundred million dollars.

• 20:11Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:11Fortune Feimster?

  So like, the amount of people she touched, not only with her money, but with her music, with her songs, with her, you know, acting, there is no one that compares to what she has done in her lifetime.

• 20:25Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:25Fortune Feimster?

  So everyone, like, every video was people sobbing.

• 20:28Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, apparently, I mean, I love this idea that like, one of the highest forms or places of enlightenment you can reach is generosity.

• 20:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:41Tig Notaro?

  Is, is just.

• 20:43Mae Martin?

  That's so nice. I like that concept.

• 20:45Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 20:46Mae Martin?

  Yeah, and she, didn't she, on the, on the same day she wrote, I Will Always Love You and Jolene? She wrote them both on one day. What, imagine that?

• 20:54Tig Notaro?

  Imagine writing any of those songs. I saw her live. Have you seen her live?

• 21:01Fortune Feimster?

  No, I never got to see her live.

• 21:03Tig Notaro?

  This woman, fingernails to here, playing a banjo.

• 21:07Mae Martin?

  Yeah, amazing.

• 21:08Tig Notaro?

  I don't even, I, I'm like, what the hell am I even looking at?

• 21:11Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:12Tig Notaro?

  Aside from a guitar, a banjo.

• 21:14Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:14Tig Notaro?

  Sure, there's like, picking and, but like, the fingers on the.

• 21:17Fortune Feimster?

  The finger, yeah.

• 21:18Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:18Tig Notaro?

  I, I don't know.

• 21:19Fortune Feimster?

  I got to meet her and I, she's so lovely and, you know, like, everybody just wanted to tell her, you know, thank you for everything. And it was one of those places where they tell you not to take pictures. So I was like, I'm not gonna ask. I want to be respectful. And then I got home and like, everyone at the party had taken a picture with her. And I was like, oh my God. So like, I, you know, wish I had that, but, you know, I just am grateful I got to meet her, just to like, say thank you.

• 21:50Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 21:50Fortune Feimster?

  Um, but man, I mean, I, everyone I talked to the day she died, just talked about how much they cried.

• 21:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:58Fortune Feimster?

  I had dinner with Natalie Maines that night and I was like, I cried today. She's like, me too. Like.

• 22:03Mae Martin?

  I cried today about Tim Curry, who, who passed away the day after Dolly. I, I don't know why that got me too. And, and similarly, I always for years was like, I wanna, there was something online, maybe on his website, you could buy like, a 20 minute conversation with him on Zoom.

• 22:20Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, really?

• 22:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I guess he was doing that. Like, like cameo, that type of thing, but you could, and I was always like, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna, I'm gonna do that, just to tell him like, yeah, and that my dad went to the stage show and, and he was in that play with my grandpa and, and like, Rocky Horror Picture Show just was so huge for me. The message of like, fluidity and fun and, and he and Dolly Parton both have that like, twinkle in there, like a sense of fun and playfulness and.

• 22:49Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, he was beloved as well. It, it's, it was kind of trippy too, because both of them were 80 and my mom's 80. And I, I've been kind of lately been like, oh, my mom is like, so young to me, you know? And that I felt that way with, with, you know, them. I'm just like, oh, 80, 80 feels too young.

• 23:11Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 23:12Fortune Feimster?

  In these times.

• 23:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's weird how that's happened.

• 23:15Mae Martin?

  Yeah, right?

• 23:15Tig Notaro?

  If somebody 75 dies, people are like, so young.

• 23:19Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 23:20Tig Notaro?

  Whereas you, I feel like in the seventies, it was like 65 is like this whole.

• 23:25Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, you feel, I, I felt like, I, I just expected Dolly to have at least another 10 years.

• 23:31Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 23:31Fortune Feimster?

  Um, just because on, on the exterior, she's always looked so amazing.

• 23:38Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 23:38Fortune Feimster?

  And even in the videos they posted of her from a week before, she looked incredible.

• 23:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 23:44Fortune Feimster?

  Um, you could tell she was a little tired, but you know, other than that, yeah, I think it was a huge shock. So we definitely just wanted to, um, just rest in peace, Dolly, Tim.

• 23:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah. I was listening to an interview with Tim Curry and they said, did you ever go to one of those like Rocky Horror Picture Show, late night screenings, like, in disguise, go and watch?

• 24:09Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 24:09Mae Martin?

  You know, where people shout out? And so he said he went and then they thought he was an imposter and they tried to kick him out. And then he showed his passport and said, I, I am Tim Curry. And then, but it was after that they already kicked him out.

• 24:23Fortune Feimster?

  Oh my God.

• 24:23Mae Martin?

  And then, uh, she said, oh, I'm so sorry. Do you want to come back in? And then he's, he said, I wouldn't dream of it. And then he started like, cackling, but I love like.

• 24:32Fortune Feimster?

  Hilarious.

• 24:33Mae Martin?

  It was like a real.

• 24:33Tig Notaro?

  That's so funny.

• 24:34Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 24:35Fortune Feimster?

  That, that is similar to a Dolly story, um, uh, where she went to a drag show.

• 24:41Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 24:41Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, where, where all the guys were in drag as Dolly. And she, she entered the contest and walked across the stage. And she said that she got the least amount of claps, because you know, all the drag queens looked unreal. Like, the hair was crazy, the outfits were like, Dolly on steroids. And Dolly's just being, Dolly.

• 25:03Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 25:04Fortune Feimster?

  And got like, no, she said she got like, the least amount of applause. And then she said, on the inside, she was dying laughing. And ended up, yeah, losing the Dolly Parton, uh, drag contest.

• 25:17Tig Notaro?

  That's like the amount of times I've lost the, uh, Chignotaro role.

• 25:21Fortune Feimster?

  Just lost my.

• 25:23Tig Notaro?

  Box?

• 25:23Fortune Feimster?

  Box.

• 25:27Fortune Feimster?

  Dolly would like that joke too.

• 25:28Tig Notaro?

  Thank you, Mr. Thomas.

• 25:29Fortune Feimster?

  Thank you, Thomas. I lost my box. My box is back.

• 25:34Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it is, girl. Well, I did one of, um, uh, in my animated HBO special called Drawn.

• 25:43Mae Martin?

  Yep.

• 25:43Tig Notaro?

  Um, I had a bit about listening to a Dolly Parton song and the bit goes very dark and gory.

• 25:50Mae Martin?

  Oh, great.

• 25:51Tig Notaro?

  And, um, we had to ask for permission, uh, to use the song. And I was scared that it wouldn't be approved because it gets very dark and gory. Um, and apparently when, um, they reached out to the manager, I mean, who knows if this is true? But that Dolly personally approves everything.

• 26:17Mae Martin?

  Oh, really?

• 26:17Tig Notaro?

  And that she approved that.

• 26:19Mae Martin?

  Oh, that's cool.

• 26:20Tig Notaro?

  And, yeah, and it's, it's a very gory joke to her very upbeat song.

• 26:26Fortune Feimster?

  I love it.

• 26:27Tig Notaro?

  So, um, that was a, a fun little like, oh.

• 26:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:32Tig Notaro?

  And my friend, uh, Beth Malone has been, um, working with Dolly.

• 26:36Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:37Tig Notaro?

  Um, on the Broadway play of Dolly's life. And Dolly wrote it, was there every day, working on every bit of that musical.

• 26:50Mae Martin?

  It'll still go ahead, right?

• 26:52Tig Notaro?

  I hope so.

• 26:52Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:53Fortune Feimster?

  I would think so.

• 26:54Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:55Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 26:55Tig Notaro?

  More than ever, people would want to see it.

• 26:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:59Tig Notaro?

  Anyway, we love you.

• 27:01Mae Martin?

  We love you, Dolly.

• 27:03Tig Notaro?

  For sure.

• 27:03Mae Martin?

  And Tim.

• 27:03Tig Notaro?

  And Tim.

• 27:04Fortune Feimster?

  Oh my gosh.

• 27:05Tig Notaro?

  And all of our handsome listeners. Um, and, uh, should we get into, um, our question? That's why we're here, right?

• 27:12Fortune Feimster?

  It is why we're here.

• 27:13Tig Notaro?

  It's why we're here, it's why we're queer, and people need to get used to that.

• 27:16Fortune Feimster?

  That's right.

• 27:18Mae Martin?

  Today's question asker is an Emmy nominated actor, director and producer known for movie franchises like The Hunger Games and Pitch Perfect, as well as TV shows like 30 Rock, Mrs. America and The Miniature Wife. Elizabeth Banks is asking today's question.

• 27:33Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, you know what?

• 27:34Tig Notaro?

  What?

• 27:34Fortune Feimster?

  Full circle moment.

• 27:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 27:36Fortune Feimster?

  Elizabeth was in The Spider-Man, as you know.

• 27:42Tig Notaro?

  With.

• 27:42Fortune Feimster?

  I do know that. With Tobey Maguire.

• 27:44Mae Martin?

  I do.

• 27:45Fortune Feimster?

  I was a journalist and I covered that movie premiere.

• 27:48Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 27:48Fortune Feimster?

  Um, and I remember very distinctly, she wasn't really known at the time, I don't believe, but seeing Elizabeth in the bathroom.

• 27:57Mae Martin?

  You remember it?

• 27:58Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know how I remember that moment. I don't know why. But I just remember that moment.

• 28:03Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 28:04Tig Notaro?

  Kid, you got what it takes.

• 28:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 28:07Tig Notaro?

  In fact, I'm gonna book you on my podcast.

• 28:11Speaker 05

  Hey handsome, it's Elizabeth Banks. I have a question for you today, and the question is, what is something that you have had a love affair with? That is not a person? So I'm thinking like, an activity that you've loved, like you're a lifelong runner. And you can't live without it. Or you had a passionate, quick, brief affair with, you know, an animal that you just loved? Or with, um, reading, or a book, or a director?

• 28:50Speaker 05

  Or just like, something that just juices you up and fills you with excitement that you can't wait to do?

• 28:58Tig Notaro?

  Interesting.

• 28:59Fortune Feimster?

  Great question.

• 29:00Tig Notaro?

  That's not a person, a thing.

• 29:02Fortune Feimster?

  But it could be an animal, she said.

• 29:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah, it could be an animal, yeah. That's a really good question.

• 29:09Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, man.

• 29:10Mae Martin?

  I mean, I'm like, I'm such a, I have such fan energy of, like, that's such a big part of, I have such an obsessive, especially in my teens, like a really obsessive fandom of so many things. So I'm trying to think more like activities.

• 29:25Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, I guess, I mean, this isn't the most basic forms of it, but I'm like so into espresso.

• 29:36Mae Martin?

  You ever had a love affair with espresso?

• 29:38Fortune Feimster?

  I have a love affair with espresso. I'm excited to go to bed at night, because I know I'll be waking up in the morning. And I'll get to have it.

• 29:46Mae Martin?

  Did you have to train yourself to like the taste?

• 29:48Fortune Feimster?

  So what happened was, I, like most people, when you drink coffee at first, want it so sugary sweet. Cause you know, I didn't, in my town, hardly anyone drank coffee when I was growing up.

• 30:01Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 30:01Fortune Feimster?

  And I remember, yeah.

• 30:02Tig Notaro?

  Wow, I drank coffee when I was three.

• 30:04Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, there was like, no coffee shop in my hometown, not one.

• 30:08Mae Martin?

  What were they drinking?

• 30:09Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know, but I remember some parents.

• 30:11Tig Notaro?

  The hell were they drinking?

• 30:12Fortune Feimster?

  Some parents.

• 30:13Mae Martin?

  What were they drinking?

• 30:14Fortune Feimster?

  Some of my friends' parents drank it, and I'd be like, oh wow. But it was not a thing, like, until, like, and you know, Starbucks, that, that culture didn't really take off for a while. And then when I moved.

• 30:27Tig Notaro?

  Early 90s.

• 30:27Fortune Feimster?

  When I moved to LA, the big drink was the iced blendeds from Coffee Bean. It was like Britney Spears was drinking them and stuff.

• 30:35Tig Notaro?

  Like a cream. And you did everything Britney did.

• 30:38Fortune Feimster?

  Even walked barefoot, everything.

• 30:40Mae Martin?

  Famously.

• 30:45Fortune Feimster?

  But the frappuccinos and the iced blendeds is what I think set off the coffee craze. Cause it was so, it was like drinking a milkshake. And it became huge, like, coffee culture, I think, really took off from there. Where all of a sudden, there were Starbucks everywhere, and it was just like a thing.

• 31:02Tig Notaro?

  Like, what year are you thinking?

• 31:03Fortune Feimster?

  This was like 2003.

• 31:05Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 31:06Fortune Feimster?

  I mean.

• 31:06Tig Notaro?

  Agree to disagree.

• 31:07Fortune Feimster?

  Starbucks was popping off in Seattle. But I'm talking about, you know, there were certain spots where coffee was definitely popping off. But as a whole, I think, early 2000s was when it.

• 31:18Tig Notaro?

  Not in your podunk town.

• 31:19Fortune Feimster?

  That's right, not in my podunk town.

• 31:22Mae Martin?

  Do you like having the, everything about it, like the process, the little cup, the beans, like the?

• 31:29Fortune Feimster?

  Um, more just the taste.

• 31:31Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 31:31Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, you know. And my grandmother drank coffee, but she only had it at like, certain restaurants, like, and, but that was not like an every meal kinda thing. But I just didn't, so coffee was just not part of my life. Uh, but then I got into coffee, cause of the sugary iced blendeds, and it was sweet and delicious.

• 31:49Tig Notaro?

  Britney and Saj.

• 31:50Fortune Feimster?

  Britney, me and Britt, drinking our iced blendeds. And then I finally, um, health-wise, had to reel in at one point, and I did that Whole30. You know what that is?

• 32:01Tig Notaro?

  What's Whole30?

• 32:02Fortune Feimster?

  Where you just eat whole foods, like, and you have to cut out all sugar, all carbs, all.

• 32:07Tig Notaro?

  I've never done it, but I'm.

• 32:09Fortune Feimster?

  I did it, um, twice, and you have to cut it out for a month, I think, all these things?

• 32:14Tig Notaro?

  For 30 days.

• 32:15Fortune Feimster?

  For 30 days, so I had to cut out, um, all this stuff in my coffee. So I had to drink black coffee for a month. And I was like, oh, it turns out I do like the taste of espresso, so I've never gone back. I put a little bit of oat milk in it, and I don't add any.

• 32:31Tig Notaro?

  A dollop?

• 32:32Fortune Feimster?

  A dollop of oat milk, I don't add any sugar. And, uh, I think I've said on here, my drink of choice is an iced quartado.

• 32:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 32:40Fortune Feimster?

  And that is my love affair. I love it so much.

• 32:43Mae Martin?

  I love seeing you, you're so animated, talking about it, you can tell you're having a love affair.

• 32:48Speaker 00

  I just have such a love affair with it.

• 32:50Tig Notaro?

  Oh my gosh, is this little tiny baby fortune?

• 32:53Speaker 00

  Baby fortune in love with espresso, girls.

• 32:57Tig Notaro?

  Now, when did you do, um, Whole30 and get off of, um, Frappuccinos?

• 33:02Fortune Feimster?

  Frappuccinos, that would have been, I was on the Mindy Project. Cause I got so, or no, it was the end of the Mindy Project, cause I got so fat doing the Mindy Project.

• 33:15Tig Notaro?

  Don't you talk about my friend like that.

• 33:16Fortune Feimster?

  No, I really did, because we ate like crazy on that show. There was like two food trucks a week, they like fed us lunch. There was like jalapeno poppers at like 10 a.m.

• 33:27Tig Notaro?

  That's not fair.

• 33:28Fortune Feimster?

  And I know, it was.

• 33:29Tig Notaro?

  And I had no self-control.

• 33:31Speaker 05

  And was it a show where as the seasons went on, everybody was expanding?

• 33:36Fortune Feimster?

  Yes, cause the costume designer would be like, so you know, so and so's added this much in their, um, pant size, and yeah.

• 33:45Tig Notaro?

  So is telling everyone?

• 33:48Fortune Feimster?

  Did you hear? Yeah, overheard it.

• 33:51Tig Notaro?

  So and so added X amount in their pant size.

• 33:54Fortune Feimster?

  And so at the end of the Mindy Project, I was like, I have got to, um, detox my body. So yeah, I did it, and I, I lost a lot of weight doing it. And I stuck to it for a while.

• 34:08Tig Notaro?

  But what year was that? I, I apologize, you don't know what year it was with the Mindy Project?

• 34:13Fortune Feimster?

  2017?

• 34:15Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay.

• 34:15Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, so that's changed my relationship.

• 34:19Mae Martin?

  Yeah, with coffee.

• 34:19Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 34:20Mae Martin?

  And you have a machine at home?

• 34:21Fortune Feimster?

  I do have a Breville. Cause it's, honestly, with, you know, this economy, you guys, everything's so expensive. I, if I were to go buy coffee every day, that would be very pricey. So it does save me a lot of money, uh, making it at home. But yeah, it's got the, it's like a little tiny barista machine, it has the grinder.

• 34:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 34:45Fortune Feimster?

  And you do the thing, and you do the thing, and you put it in there, and it's, you know?

• 34:49Tig Notaro?

  Fortune and her love affair. Telling us how you handle it, too.

• 34:54Fortune Feimster?

  That's right.

• 34:54Tig Notaro?

  Welcome, welcome.

• 34:55Mae Martin?

  For a minute, my dad was like a spokesperson for a coffee company.

• 34:58Tig Notaro?

  Oh, nice.

• 34:58Mae Martin?

  And they had a.

• 34:59Tig Notaro?

  What a mysterious man.

• 35:00Mae Martin?

  He's so mysterious, and they said, can we make a video of you talking about how you, about how coffee's like wine? And you should pair different coffees with different foods? I don't think he believed that to be true. Or also, he, at the time, was a heavy smoker and very few taste buds, but he really went for it, and he was like, it sounds a little precious to talk about coffee, the way you talk about wine, but I remember the video so clearly, that he was like, I might have a dark roast with a delicious piece of chocolate cake.

• 35:27Fortune Feimster?

  That sounds amazing how you describe him saying it.

• 35:30Tig Notaro?

  That is my jam.

• 35:32Fortune Feimster?

  What is, chocolate and coffee?

• 35:33Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, when we go out to eat, I like to have a chocolate dessert.

• 35:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 35:38Tig Notaro?

  And pair it with an espresso.

• 35:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah, decaf espresso.

• 35:42Fortune Feimster?

  Well, you guys know one of my favorite desserts.

• 35:44Tig Notaro?

  Me?

• 35:45Mae Martin?

  I forgot it.

• 35:46Fortune Feimster?

  I forgot it.

• 35:47Mae Martin?

  I forgot about it.

• 35:48Speaker 00

  Oh, I forgot it again.

• 35:50Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, that's, oh, I forgot it is my jam. I'm a peanut butter bitch and an I forgot it bitch.

• 35:58Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you're cheating on your peanut butter.

• 36:01Tig Notaro?

  You forgot about peanut butter.

• 36:02Fortune Feimster?

  Forgot about it. No, I love me some I forgot it, it's just ice cream, preferably vanilla, with a shot of espresso on top.

• 36:11Tig Notaro?

  Do we need merch that says, um?

• 36:13Fortune Feimster?

  I forgot about it.

• 36:14Tig Notaro?

  I forgot about, um, what is it, forget about it? I forgot about it.

• 36:19Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe, maybe. You never know. Um, anyway, I got very excited. That is truly a love affair, because I don't get very giddy about things like that.

• 36:31Mae Martin?

  You're giddy.

• 36:32Fortune Feimster?

  It's, yeah, I get.

• 36:34Tig Notaro?

  Why aren't you twirling your hair?

• 36:35Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, what am I twirling my hair about?

• 36:37Mae Martin?

  You were twirling your hair the other night.

• 36:39Tig Notaro?

  You were day drunk?

• 36:40Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 36:40Tig Notaro?

  And you were like, oh my god, girl, and you're just.

• 36:44Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I don't think that episode's aired yet. I can't remember what I was, um, giddy about, but, yeah.

• 36:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 36:53Mae Martin?

  See, what about you?

• 36:55Fortune Feimster?

  Good luck matching that energy.

• 36:57Mae Martin?

  Good luck matching the.

• 37:00Fortune Feimster?

  I want to see what it looks like when you have a love affair with something.

• 37:05Tig Notaro?

  Oh my gosh, you should have caught me when I first met Stephanie. That was cuckoo bonker town.

• 37:10Fortune Feimster?

  You were just like cloud nine.

• 37:12Mae Martin?

  I was like, like Tom Cruise jumping on the sofa.

• 37:15Tig Notaro?

  Eyes were crossed. I couldn't even, oh my lord.

• 37:21Tig Notaro?

  You know, I was thinking, I mean, I've talked so much about, this is so boring and this isn't what I'm gonna use, but I was very, after being sick, very interested in, in food and like nutrition and how the body heals itself and hurts itself. And I was studying it and I was so into it.

• 37:44Mae Martin?

  You were gonna be a naturopath, right?

• 37:46Tig Notaro?

  I was going to start doing Zoom. I'll tell you what Reese Witherspoon said. We were filming that movie we did and I was, I was like, yeah, I was like, I think I want to start doing, offering Zoom sessions and coaching people. And she was like, oh my god, you are gonna make hundreds of dollars.

• 38:10Tig Notaro?

  But I would say, especially on the heels of just doing that massive hike that was ranked rigorous.

• 38:20Mae Martin?

  Was it ranked rigorous?

• 38:22Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 38:22Mae Martin?

  I missed that.

• 38:23Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 38:24Mae Martin?

  Ranked rigorous is a really good for your next special.

• 38:28Tig Notaro?

  It was ranked rigorous. Ranked rigorous is pretty good.

• 38:34Tig Notaro?

  It reminds me of when I was, when I did long distance cycling.

• 38:38Mae Martin?

  Oh yeah.

• 38:39Tig Notaro?

  I was so into that.

• 38:41Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 38:41Tig Notaro?

  And I didn't have a car and I cycled everywhere. I cycled to my standup shows. I cycled on the road, like I performed in Portland, Oregon and then cycled to Seattle, Washington.

• 38:57Fortune Feimster?

  Oh my gosh.

• 38:58Tig Notaro?

  And it was truly.

• 39:00Fortune Feimster?

  A lot of cycling.

• 39:00Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 39:01Mae Martin?

  I'm picturing you doing standup in the, in Lycra with these like bulging rock thighs.

• 39:06Tig Notaro?

  Yes. But I was, I was so into it. I was very inspired. My uncle is a cyclist. And when I would visit my uncle and aunt, there were all these books about long distance cycling and trips you can take and training and, and I'd just, you know, hanging out, visiting, I'd pull these books off the shelf. And, and then I was like, this looks actually so cool to just pack your little bags on your bike.

• 39:35Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 39:36Tig Notaro?

  And hit the road.

• 39:37Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 39:38Tig Notaro?

  And I found it to be very meditative. And maybe I've talked about that. I call it connecting the dots in life.

• 39:47Mae Martin?

  Where. I don't think so.

• 39:49Tig Notaro?

  And, and I guess it's kind of the opposite of meditation, but it still cleared my mind so much. Cause I didn't listen to music and.

• 39:56Mae Martin?

  Yeah, and you've got to be so present. Yeah.

• 39:58Tig Notaro?

  Very much so. And I would connect the dots in my life and think about, oh, maybe I should do this. Or I've, oh, this person would be good to partner with that. Or maybe I should just ever, I just started connecting these dots and creating these constellations of like, ooh, this is what I want to do, or this is what I want to try.

• 40:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 40:20Tig Notaro?

  And, and it just made me feel so good. And after I started having really bad back problems, I had to abandon it. And that's what was so nice about this past summer. I know I can't do these 50 and 100 mile bike rides anymore, a day, that's how far.

• 40:42Mae Martin?

  You were doing them a day?

• 40:43Tig Notaro?

  I was doing, not every day, but when I would do a cycling trip, I'd do 50 to 100 miles a day.

• 40:48Mae Martin?

  Right, right.

• 40:49Tig Notaro?

  And it's no joke.

• 40:51Mae Martin?

  It does not sound like a joke to us.

• 40:54Tig Notaro?

  But I'm good at endurance stuff. That's, I'm not, that's my strength. But it felt nice to kind of hand it off to this long hike to Aspen.

• 41:08Mae Martin?

  Ranked rigorous, yeah.

• 41:09Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 41:09Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 41:10Tig Notaro?

  And.

• 41:11Mae Martin?

  That feeling of accomplishment and like sort of exhaustion, but in a good way.

• 41:15Tig Notaro?

  And it's, and it's, it's challenging myself. It's like the competing against other people, that doesn't drive me.

• 41:23Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 41:23Tig Notaro?

  I'm not like, what, how fast did you, or how many miles, or it's, it's really like what I'm doing is, is what would drive me with that. And I can't claim that, even though I do hike regularly, I can't claim that

• 41:38Tig Notaro?

  hiking has taken the place because biking was really what made my heart and soul sing. But I do love hiking and I'm very excited about the plan that I have with my friends to pick a beautiful spot around the world every year and go just take these long treks and see gorgeous things and have great conversations. That's, that's, I guess.

• 42:06Mae Martin?

  That's the new love affair. I like that.

• 42:08Fortune Feimster?

  Do you miss the cycling though?

• 42:09Tig Notaro?

  I don't at all.

• 42:11Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, interesting.

• 42:11Mae Martin?

  It had its time.

• 42:12Tig Notaro?

  It totally had its time.

• 42:14Mae Martin?

  It gave you what you needed at the time and then.

• 42:15Tig Notaro?

  It's same with like, I used to play guitar and I was very in love with playing guitar and drums. And I find it fun and I'm interested to do it here and there.

• 42:24Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 42:25Tig Notaro?

  I, when I think of cycling, 100 miles a day for like a week, I'm like, what the hell?

• 42:34Mae Martin?

  That's so weef.

• 42:35Fortune Feimster?

  I can't, I can't even fathom that many miles.

• 42:38Tig Notaro?

  Whereas like a yearly, one week trek where you're walking maybe 10 miles a day or something.

• 42:47Mae Martin?

  I can't quite figure out like marathon runners and stuff. Part of me is like, what are you running from, kind of? Like they're, like when they're, they're like bleeding from their nipples and stuff, like they get so hard corn.

• 42:59Tig Notaro?

  And pooping out of their shorts.

• 42:59Mae Martin?

  They're just shitting their pants as they run.

• 43:01Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 43:01Mae Martin?

  Like, and isn't the word marathon comes from the guy in ancient Greece who ran to tell them the Spartans are coming or something? He ran the length of a marathon and then.

• 43:11Tig Notaro?

  May fact.

• 43:12Fortune Feimster?

  We have no idea, but may fact.

• 43:13Mae Martin?

  The word comes from, then his heart exploded after he gave the news. It's like, this is not a good length to be running.

• 43:20Tig Notaro?

  No.

• 43:21Mae Martin?

  No.

• 43:21Tig Notaro?

  And I don't want that kind of, even though this hike was rigorous and I'm glad I did it and I don't need to do it again.

• 43:28Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 43:28Tig Notaro?

  And that's what inspired the, you know what, flat walks?

• 43:32Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 43:32Tig Notaro?

  Past beautiful waterfalls and cliffs.

• 43:35Fortune Feimster?

  There you go.

• 43:35Tig Notaro?

  I'm in, I'm totally in, once a year for that.

• 43:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 43:39Tig Notaro?

  Not like, let's pack up and cycle for 100 miles. Anyway, that was an old love affair of mine.

• 43:48Mae Martin?

  I've been trying to like listen, but also I've been going, I've been frantically trying to think about like, I mean, comedy's a big one, or I mean, my fandoms are so, such like flagposts in my life.

• 44:03Tig Notaro?

  And when you say comedy, is it more standup or improv or?

• 44:07Mae Martin?

  Well, these days, I don't know if I'm, it was always, it was more like the green room. It was more like the atmosphere and being there and.

• 44:16Tig Notaro?

  Connection.

• 44:17Mae Martin?

  Yeah. And in my teens, I did a lot of weird characters and improv and yeah, standup when it's, I, I've never been, had a love affair with like going to clubs and doing a 20 minute set. I'm not good at it. And.

• 44:31Tig Notaro?

  What do you mean?

• 44:32Mae Martin?

  I just don't have short jokes and it's, I guess because it was the early 2000s, I like, the atmosphere felt scary.

• 44:40Tig Notaro?

  When coffee was taking off.

• 44:42Mae Martin?

  When coffee was first discovered in America.

• 44:45Fortune Feimster?

  A real coffee boom in the early 2000s. Me and Brittany started it.

• 44:49Mae Martin?

  What I actually want to say is weed, but I, that I had a love affair with where I, I mean, and then now looking back, I'm like, was I self-medicating? And I, I find other ways to do that now. But I, when I first smoked weed, I was like, this is.

• 45:07Tig Notaro?

  I'm home.

• 45:07Mae Martin?

  I'm home. I, yeah. I was like, I, I went to see Dark Side of Oz with the Pink Floyd and they showed Wizard of Oz. And you could smoke weed inside in the theater. And I was like, nothing has ever been more beautiful. And then it felt like just such a like paradigm shifting thing. And I would have done anything for it. And I was so into the paraphernalia and the smell of it and the, the process and the, the like oral fixation of like rolling and smoking. Like I really was so passionate about it and not in a, not in a great way, but. So maybe, does that, I mean, it was a toxic love affair.

• 45:46Fortune Feimster?

  It's a love affair.

• 45:47Mae Martin?

  I, I did not smoke pot for a long time. And then now I don't really.

• 45:54Fortune Feimster?

  Sounds like maybe you do.

• 45:55Mae Martin?

  No, I don't, I don't.

• 45:56Fortune Feimster?

  Whole puff puff pass.

• 45:58Mae Martin?

  I just don't have a rule for myself of like never. Yeah. But I, yeah, I'll never feel like I did in my teens with it. I'm, and looking back, it was, it ended up being so disruptive to my life. And, but also it really saved me from harder drugs. Like when I stopped doing coke, I think I wouldn't have been able to stop without weed. It was like.

• 46:18Tig Notaro?

  Did you have a coke nail?

• 46:19Mae Martin?

  Never. I would never have a coke nail. And I do think that's a red flag.

• 46:24Tig Notaro?

  For a deeper, more serious problem, maybe?

• 46:26Mae Martin?

  Yes, yeah. But I really was, I, it was, I got into coke so young and then, and then weed felt like a much softer, kind of sillier, especially after having a coke addiction, not eating and just like, and then weed is like, I just want to eat cake with my friends and play Super Mario and.

• 46:46Tig Notaro?

  Have espresso with that cake, maybe?

• 46:48Mae Martin?

  Oh, delicious.

• 46:50Tig Notaro?

  And then tip your coke, your cocaine.

• 46:54Fortune Feimster?

  Cocaine pinky.

• 46:55Tig Notaro?

  Cocaine pinky.

• 46:57Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 46:58Fortune Feimster?

  I've never done coke, so.

• 46:59Tig Notaro?

  I haven't either. I've never seen it. I've seen it for sure.

• 47:02Mae Martin?

  Like so many drugs.

• 47:04Fortune Feimster?

  Well, aren't you? I'm so cutting in. I've seen it but never done it. I was too busy cycling.

• 47:10Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 47:13Fortune Feimster?

  I've got to connect these dots in life.

• 47:18Mae Martin?

  I, I mean, apparently a lot of people with ADHD self-medicate in their teens with stimulants. Cause it's like, I felt like I was in the room for the first time ever, like for, but I think so many drugs, especially in California, it's like, there's a culture around them where it's like, you can use them as tools to, you know, and people do mushrooms and stuff.

• 47:37Fortune Feimster?

  Like the microdosing and stuff?

• 47:39Mae Martin?

  Coke has no therapeutic benefits, I think. I'm like, it's only so bad for people.

• 47:45Fortune Feimster?

  Now it's so dangerous with the fentanyl. I can't even imagine even dabbling in it.

• 47:51Mae Martin?

  All the, the cartels and like, there's just no reason to do it. And it just makes people so insufferable and, and.

• 47:58Tig Notaro?

  Coke makes people insufferable?

• 47:59Mae Martin?

  Oh yeah. Yeah. So I'm gonna say weed, but the love affair is over, but.

• 48:05Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah?

• 48:06Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 48:07Fortune Feimster?

  Y'all's love affair have ended?

• 48:09Mae Martin?

  Yours is ongoing.

• 48:10Tig Notaro?

  Mine's continuing.

• 48:12Fortune Feimster?

  You're in a long-term love affair.

• 48:14Mae Martin?

  I forgot about it.

• 48:20Fortune Feimster?

  Oh my gosh, you guys.

• 48:22Tig Notaro?

  Should we hear what Elizabeth has to say?

• 48:23Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, let's do it.

• 48:25Speaker 05

  So, for me, I'm in a cur- I've had a bunch of love affairs with, you know, various things and ideas and movements and, but right now, I am in a passionate love affair with Mahjong. It's like all I think about. When I'm not doing it, I'm thinking about when can I do it next? It's, I love like a ladies weekend where all we do is eat and wear pajamas and drink a little bit and play Mahjong. Um, I love teaching it to people. I want other people to be, I will teach you guys if you want.

• 49:05Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 49:06Speaker 05

  So yeah, I'm obsessed with Mahjong. Um, and I'm not new to it, just to say. I've been playing it for a little while, so I know it's like all the rage right now. And I feel like part of, I've, I've partially been about it for a while. Like it is real, real fun and something that I just love doing, so.

• 49:29Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 49:29Mae Martin?

  Now, okay, we gotta put on the list.

• 49:32Fortune Feimster?

  It's like a big thing, it is a big thing right now.

• 49:34Tig Notaro?

  Here's my first question though. What is it?

• 49:37Mae Martin?

  Mahjong is a Chinese board game that, that's all I know.

• 49:42Tig Notaro?

  Thank you, May. Let's go to commercial. You seem like you were really gonna come at me with some im-.

• 49:48Mae Martin?

  I thought it was gonna come out of me.

• 49:50Fortune Feimster?

  It's a board game. Yeah, I, cause I saw.

• 49:53Mae Martin?

  I can picture it.

• 49:54Fortune Feimster?

  I learned about it from the movie Crazy Rich Asians.

• 49:57Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 49:58Fortune Feimster?

  Um, and knew, it's been popular forever in Asian cultures, obviously. Um, but for whatever reason, currently it's like all the rage. People are playing it.

• 50:10Mae Martin?

  We gotta get.

• 50:11Tig Notaro?

  I guess cause Elizabeth Banks is playing it with everyone and offering to teach everybody.

• 50:16Fortune Feimster?

  I would like to learn how to play.

• 50:17Mae Martin?

  I would love to learn. I have a, a set. Matt's wife bought me a set from China, so.

• 50:22Tig Notaro?

  Oh, very cool.

• 50:23Mae Martin?

  I can't believe I, I said weed and I should've said foosball. That's what I have calluses from. I'm playing for hours every day.

• 50:30Tig Notaro?

  I'm sorry, it's too late.

• 50:31Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, it's too late.

• 50:31Tig Notaro?

  It is.

• 50:32Fortune Feimster?

  Much too late.

• 50:33Tig Notaro?

  We cannot go back.

• 50:34Mae Martin?

  No.

• 50:35Fortune Feimster?

  You cannot add anything. It is foosball.

• 50:37Mae Martin?

  Oh man, I love it.

• 50:39Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 50:39Mae Martin?

  Like it's very meta.

• 50:41Tig Notaro?

  Do you foosball while you're on weed?

• 50:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 50:45Fortune Feimster?

  Do you know Kelsey Cook?

• 50:46Mae Martin?

  No.

• 50:47Fortune Feimster?

  Very funny comedian. Uh, her Netflix special just dropped recently.

• 50:50Mae Martin?

  I think I saw the ad for it, yeah.

• 50:52Fortune Feimster?

  Her mom is a like champion foosball player and, uh, Kelsey's very good. So, but I mean, well, Kelsey lives now in Minneapolis, but she tours all the time. So at some point she'll be in LA.

• 51:05Mae Martin?

  There's a foosball culture like.

• 51:07Tig Notaro?

  May, it's too late.

• 51:08Mae Martin?

  It's too late, sorry, you're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right, I must have my piece, yeah, yeah.

• 51:13Tig Notaro?

  No, go ahead, say it.

• 51:15Mae Martin?

  Well, just, I went to a bar to play with Matt. And cause usually we'd just play at my house and then this guy with long hair came up and was like, well, what you playing, you're playing foos? And he was a, and he played completely differently to us. He would trap the ball, then he'd position all his guys, like the game would sort of grind to a halt.

• 51:33Tig Notaro?

  Oh no.

• 51:33Mae Martin?

  And then he'd just do a move, like that, score. But it wasn't very fun.

• 51:37Tig Notaro?

  No. No, that's so annoying.

• 51:41Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 51:43Fortune Feimster?

  I play foosball like an insane person. I'm just like.

• 51:48Mae Martin?

  I wanna play with you.

• 51:49Tig Notaro?

  What?

• 51:50Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I just.

• 51:53Fortune Feimster?

  Come on. That's how you play, cause you're just like, come on.

• 51:57Mae Martin?

  Yeah, let's play.
