  This is a HeadGum Podcast.

• 0:16Fortune Feimster?

  Cheers. Welcome to the Handsome Pod. I'm Fortune Feimster.

• 0:20Tig Notaro?

  I'm Tig Notaro.

• 0:21Mae Martin?

  I'm Mae Martin.

• 0:22Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, we're together again. We're together as friends.

• 0:28Tig Notaro?

  Sometimes more than just friends, but nobody knows that because we haven't revealed it. And people are listening to this part right now.

• 0:40Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, the hand drop went quickly.

• 0:46Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, what a song. We've been working on that one for a while.

• 0:49Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I forgot about it, honestly.

• 0:52Fortune Feimster?

  We were like, remember, let's not forget to sing that song.

• 0:55Tig Notaro?

  Let us not forget. You know, I thought-

• 0:57Mae Martin?

  I want to do it again. I had so much fun. I want to do it again.

• 1:01Fortune Feimster?

  All right.

• 1:02Tig Notaro?

  We're doing it again, singing this song that we said we weren't gonna sing.

• 1:11Fortune Feimster?

  Let's not give them the whole song.

• 1:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, go to our website where we wrote a song.

• 1:17Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah, the Handsome Band. We need to put out another song.

• 1:21Speaker 04

  HandsomeBansom.com.

• 1:22Fortune Feimster?

  Also Tig had a great idea, which we do need to implement. And this cannot just be a put it on the list thing.

• 1:28Tig Notaro?

  What is it?

• 1:29Fortune Feimster?

  The GamCam.

• 1:30Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yes.

• 1:32Fortune Feimster?

  Tig suggested that the next time we're in person, we need to do the episode in shorts.

• 1:37Tig Notaro?

  In shorts.

• 1:38Fortune Feimster?

  So that we can actually do the GamCam.

• 1:42Mae Martin?

  Cut to the GamCam and it's just set up at ground level.

• 1:45Tig Notaro?

  Or don't even say, "Cut to the GamCam." GamCam, yes. And then just when we're telling a story, it just pans down. And you see my five o'clock shadow legs.

• 1:56Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I love this. You guys, our podcast-

• 2:00Tig Notaro?

  Are you trying to hold hands again?

• 2:02Fortune Feimster?

  No.

• 2:02Tig Notaro?

  What do you need from us?

• 2:04Fortune Feimster?

  I wanted to-

• 2:05Tig Notaro?

  A loaf of bread.

• 2:05Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know if you guys knew this, but we won some awards.

• 2:07Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yeah.

• 2:08Mae Martin?

  Oh, is that what this is?

• 2:11Fortune Feimster?

  We're changing lives.

• 2:15Tig Notaro?

  And not close.

• 2:16Fortune Feimster?

  We won two Webby Awards.

• 2:17Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 2:21Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 2:23Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I like this.

• 2:24Mae Martin?

  Oh, whoa, that's good because we won it.

• 2:27Fortune Feimster?

  We won- Oh, yeah, it's a bling. We won the 2026 People's Voice Award winner.

• 2:35Mae Martin?

  Whoa.

• 2:36Tig Notaro?

  Oh, wow. No, it says Award Weiner.

• 2:39Fortune Feimster?

  Weiner. This says, "This was for an individual episode, belonging and inclusion." So that's that one. What does that one say?

• 2:48Tig Notaro?

  Now, my question, I have won a Webby before.

• 2:51Fortune Feimster?

  I have it.

• 2:52Mae Martin?

  You have?

• 2:53Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I have. What is-

• 2:56Mae Martin?

  The award shape?

• 2:57Tig Notaro?

  The spring.

• 2:58Mae Martin?

  It looks like some quantum-

• 3:00Tig Notaro?

  Uh-oh.

• 3:02Mae Martin?

  Device.

• 3:03Fortune Feimster?

  What are we gonna do? We only have two awards and there's three of us.

• 3:06Tig Notaro?

  Two against one.

• 3:07Fortune Feimster?

  I do kind of like it. How are we gonna figure this out?

• 3:11Mae Martin?

  You have it-

• 3:12Fortune Feimster?

  Guys?

• 3:13Mae Martin?

  You guys keep them. I was hoping that when I-

• 3:16Tig Notaro?

  I want both of them.

• 3:18Fortune Feimster?

  What does that one say? What do we win that for?

• 3:20Tig Notaro?

  Because I want to keep my other Webby.

• 3:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, but one is like the committee and one is the People's Vote Award.

• 3:27Mae Martin?

  Oh, okay.

• 3:28Tig Notaro?

  Commit, Titty Committee?

• 3:30Fortune Feimster?

  The Titty Committee voted us and our big old knockers. Thank you, Webby Awards. This is pretty cool.

• 3:36Mae Martin?

  That's very cool.

• 3:38Tig Notaro?

  And also, my Webby gets lonely sometimes, so it'd probably be good.

• 3:42Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, you're gonna get both of them?

• 3:44Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I need to have three Webby Awards.

• 3:46Fortune Feimster?

  But I have that fun new space behind me now.

• 3:49Tig Notaro?

  I know, but you got-

• 3:50Fortune Feimster?

  It needs awards.

• 3:51Tig Notaro?

  You got something.

• 3:53Fortune Feimster?

  I did, gave me the picture of the Golden Girls.

• 3:56Mae Martin?

  I think you just gotta buy a slinky and glue it to a block of wood.

• 4:00Fortune Feimster?

  You guys. Anyway, what's going on?

• 4:05Mae Martin?

  Well-

• 4:06Fortune Feimster?

  How you feeling?

• 4:07Mae Martin?

  I feel good.

• 4:07Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah?

• 4:08Tig Notaro?

  You look great.

• 4:09Mae Martin?

  Thank you. I've been cutting my own hair. I'm not feeling very confident at the moment.

• 4:14Fortune Feimster?

  I love it.

• 4:14Tig Notaro?

  Before you go any further, my kids just went back to school. Is Alma back to school?

• 4:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah, back to school, yeah.

• 4:22Tig Notaro?

  We took them for haircuts. There's a barber near our house. And it's like a $40 barber cut.

• 4:31Mae Martin?

  Yep.

• 4:32Tig Notaro?

  I think I want my son's haircut.

• 4:34Mae Martin?

  Oh.

• 4:35Tig Notaro?

  And it's like, it's like a very buzzed, kind of short, short-

• 4:40Mae Martin?

  Back and sides buzzed.

• 4:42Tig Notaro?

  Buzz.

• 4:42Mae Martin?

  I think go for it.

• 4:44Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, I like your hair as it is, but if you want-

• 4:46Tig Notaro?

  You're welcome.

• 4:47Fortune Feimster?

  I want to keep you happy.

• 4:50Mae Martin?

  You are very happy.

• 4:51Tig Notaro?

  Well, maybe I can pass around and show you the haircut.

• 4:55Mae Martin?

  I'm picturing them going and getting the full treatment where they get like a shave and like a hot towel on their face.

• 5:01Tig Notaro?

  Uh-huh, yeah. Well, this is the look. Yeah, it's just really short.

• 5:10Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, that is short.

• 5:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 5:12Fortune Feimster?

  Very handsome.

• 5:12Mae Martin?

  Do they like it?

• 5:14Tig Notaro?

  They are so into-

• 5:16Mae Martin?

  Feeling themselves.

• 5:17Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 5:17Fortune Feimster?

  It looks cool. It's a cool haircut.

• 5:19Mae Martin?

  Oh, wow, that is short.

• 5:20Tig Notaro?

  Yes. I'm thinking I might do it.

• 5:23Fortune Feimster?

  You're gonna buzz? You're gonna buzz like that?

• 5:25Tig Notaro?

  I might buzz like that.

• 5:26Fortune Feimster?

  Whoa.

• 5:27Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 5:28Mae Martin?

  And that's the natural hair color?

• 5:30Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I might miss your little feathered bangs, though.

• 5:34Tig Notaro?

  You might miss my bangs?

• 5:35Fortune Feimster?

  Your feathered bangs, yeah.

• 5:36Mae Martin?

  I'd miss them.

• 5:37Fortune Feimster?

  I'd miss those.

• 5:37Tig Notaro?

  My hair is turning into a big cotton poof.

• 5:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's why I start cutting mine. Mine's so thick like that. And then I think, I can just-

• 5:45Fortune Feimster?

  Uh-huh. How's my hair, you guys?

• 5:47Mae Martin?

  Always perfect.

• 5:48Tig Notaro?

  Stunning.

• 5:51Fortune Feimster?

  Just like that award.

• 5:54Tig Notaro?

  Okay, wait, so you're happy, you're good, you cut your hair?

• 5:58Mae Martin?

  Pretty good. I was saying before we started recording, I don't feel funny at all.

• 6:03Tig Notaro?

  Why?

• 6:04Mae Martin?

  But I don't know what that's about. I feel happy, very content.

• 6:07Tig Notaro?

  You feel very happy, very content.

• 6:10Fortune Feimster?

  But you're not in a silly mood?

• 6:11Mae Martin?

  No, I am. I just feel like I can't get-

• 6:14Tig Notaro?

  You're just missing the mark every time.

• 6:16Mae Martin?

  I'm like-

• 6:16Tig Notaro?

  You're like, hey, rubber chicken. And everyone's like, nah.

• 6:19Mae Martin?

  That's how I feel. Yeah, when was the last time I said something funny? I don't know. Like a while ago.

• 6:25Tig Notaro?

  You should keep a journal.

• 6:26Speaker 04

  Katie Couric.

• 6:27Mae Martin?

  Katie Couric was good.

• 6:28Tig Notaro?

  Katie, you're probably still coming down.

• 6:31Mae Martin?

  I'm coming down.

• 6:31Tig Notaro?

  That was massive. I think about it all the time.

• 6:34Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that was a good moment.

• 6:36Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. First of all, I think about Katie Couric all the time. And then for her new name?

• 6:41Mae Martin?

  I hope she knows about it.

• 6:43Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, you gotta text her.

• 6:45Mae Martin?

  I just get, always want to go through customs and they say, "What do you do for a living?" And I hear myself say, like, because I get nervous going through customs and I go, "I'm a comedian." With a really straight face. And they're like, "Sure, okay."

• 6:56Fortune Feimster?

  They want you to be like, "Waka waka."

• 6:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 6:59Tig Notaro?

  Now, I don't know if this is in one of my specials or not because I can never remember.

• 7:03Mae Martin?

  We'll never know.

• 7:03Tig Notaro?

  I will never know. And there's no possible way to know.

• 7:06Mae Martin?

  Never gonna find out.

• 7:07Tig Notaro?

  Who cares, right? But when I first moved to Los Angeles, I was work, I got a temp job at a a commercial production company.

• 7:18Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 7:18Tig Notaro?

  And I was recommended for the job by my other job, working at Sam Raimi's company, when I was working there part-time.

• 7:27Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 7:28Tig Notaro?

  Or as like, as a temp job before they hired me full-time.

• 7:32Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 7:33Tig Notaro?

  So they had heard about this company that needed somebody. So they were like, "Oh, my gosh." Because we all loved each other over at Sam Raimi's company. They were like, "We're gonna send you Tig. We love her, you'll love her," whatever. So I show up with that vibe.

• 7:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 7:49Tig Notaro?

  Where I'm like-

• 7:49Fortune Feimster?

  Everyone loves you guys.

• 7:53Tig Notaro?

  And the woman who ran the company answered the door very down to business. Like FedEx goes out every day at four, this is your desk. And I was like, "Oh, right, okay." And I was trying to catch up and take note of everything she was saying. And meanwhile, I'd come from Sam and Rob's company where-

• 8:15Fortune Feimster?

  Silly Billy.

• 8:16Tig Notaro?

  It was so, we were, we're all still very close.

• 8:19Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 8:20Tig Notaro?

  Okay, so I'm, I'm, I'm just like, "Oh, gosh." You know, there was no welcome, loving vibe from this woman. And anytime she was on the phone, she wanted me to get up from my desk, come over and stand next to her and write a note of who was calling, who was on hold. And I had to wait there.

• 8:39Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 8:40Tig Notaro?

  It was just, it was very much like that. And just beaten down by this woman for three days.

• 8:47Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 8:47Tig Notaro?

  And to the point where I didn't follow her rule. And I'd go from my desk and be like, "John's on line one." I was like so over this woman.

• 8:59Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 8:59Tig Notaro?

  So she, she comes over, we're going through these files, and she said, "So when you're not temping, what do you do?" And I was so excited to turn to her, but the life sucked out of me. And I just said, "I'm a comedian.

• 9:17Tig Notaro?

  I make people laugh."

• 9:21Mae Martin?

  What did she say?

• 9:22Tig Notaro?

  She was so confused.

• 9:24Fortune Feimster?

  She probably didn't know we were being serious.

• 9:27Tig Notaro?

  She was so deeply confused.

• 9:29Mae Martin?

  That's really funny.

• 9:30Tig Notaro?

  And it was such a joy for me to turn and dump that of like, I am a joyful clown.

• 9:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 9:40Tig Notaro?

  And I bring everybody joy, except you.

• 9:44Mae Martin?

  When you find someone who's clearly not charmed by you in any way, immediately, like you have an Uber driver or something.

• 9:51Tig Notaro?

  There's plenty of them.

• 9:52Mae Martin?

  Yeah, and then, yeah, that's really funny.

• 9:55Fortune Feimster?

  I auditioned once to be a host of a game show.

• 9:58Tig Notaro?

  Congrats, Fortune.

• 9:59Fortune Feimster?

  I didn't get it.

• 10:00Tig Notaro?

  We'll have to check in on Star Meters in a little bit.

• 10:03Fortune Feimster?

  And I'm, you know, I'm pretty bubbly in general. And so usually people were kind of disarmed by the accent and the bubbles.

• 10:12Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 10:13Fortune Feimster?

  There was like six people could not have been less interested, charmed. And I knew, I knew right away, I was like, I'm not getting this job. These people think I am the biggest stick in the mud, not funny, not qualified. And yeah, they were so not into me. It was, the room was just like, er, record scratch. That was my record. But the irony is, somebody else got the job and they had me do a few of the episodes. I could not have been more fun, more delightful, won someone a car.

• 10:52Mae Martin?

  Oh, you were a guest on it?

• 10:53Fortune Feimster?

  I ended up, because it was like a panel thing. I brought, I brought life to the party.

• 10:59Mae Martin?

  Yes.

• 11:00Fortune Feimster?

  Because the episode just blasted them.

• 11:03Tig Notaro?

  You showed them.

• 11:03Fortune Feimster?

  I showed them, they're knocking on my door thanking me for saving the show.

• 11:09Tig Notaro?

  Wow, and let's name the show?

• 11:11Fortune Feimster?

  No, we're not.

• 11:12Mae Martin?

  I want to know.

• 11:14Fortune Feimster?

  I will tell you guys later. But yeah, I was like, for whatever reason, whatever I brought into that room in the original meeting, they were not into.

• 11:24Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 11:24Fortune Feimster?

  But I'm also not a person that's bouncing from the walls, like, I'm just myself, which they were not into. But obviously I amp it up a bit, you know, for the cameras.

• 11:37Tig Notaro?

  Oh, I know.

• 11:37Fortune Feimster?

  But in regular life, I'm just me, I'm just chill.

• 11:41Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's just you with your little diamond earrings on.

• 11:43Fortune Feimster?

  That's right, pumpkin.

• 11:45Mae Martin?

  Catching the light.

• 11:47Fortune Feimster?

  And my, look at my shirt, it's onions.

• 11:50Mae Martin?

  I thought it was onions and I didn't want to, I didn't want to presume.

• 11:54Fortune Feimster?

  There might be mushrooms. Maybe there's capers too.

• 11:58Mae Martin?

  Garlic cloves.

• 11:58Tig Notaro?

  Cherries.

• 11:59Fortune Feimster?

  It's a whole smorgasbord.

• 12:01Tig Notaro?

  All I know is it's a shirt I wouldn't buy.

• 12:05Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe that's why I didn't get that job, my wardrobe.

• 12:09Mae Martin?

  They're like, uh, onion girls out, obviously.

• 12:12Tig Notaro?

  This is, you would not, I'm shocked.

• 12:18Mae Martin?

  But so you bought it for yourself, you saw it on a rack?

• 12:21Fortune Feimster?

  I must have that. Why did I bring this up?

• 12:25Mae Martin?

  I didn't know this until.

• 12:27Tig Notaro?

  Like onions. This is so you, girl, it's so you. But picture me seeing that on a rack. I wouldn't have even seen it on the rack.

• 12:35Fortune Feimster?

  No, so, I.

• 12:37Mae Martin?

  You wouldn't have been in that store.

• 12:39Fortune Feimster?

  They made this, this was made for me, for a project.

• 12:43Mae Martin?

  It was made for.

• 12:43Tig Notaro?

  There's only one in the world.

• 12:45Mae Martin?

  You requested the onions?

• 12:47Fortune Feimster?

  No, I think it was a long sleeve shirt originally.

• 12:50Tig Notaro?

  And you ripped the sleeves off.

• 12:51Fortune Feimster?

  And they made it into a short sleeve shirt for me. And I was in such a hurry to get here, I just.

• 12:56Tig Notaro?

  Don't you make excuses. You love your onion cherry capers.

• 13:02Mae Martin?

  Peaches, garlic cloves.

• 13:04Fortune Feimster?

  I grabbed two shirts and just hauled ass down here.

• 13:08Tig Notaro?

  Fortune, it's a great shirt for you, especially with your diamond earrings.

• 13:12Fortune Feimster?

  There was a minute where I was like, I'm just gonna wear my black shirt, but May has on a black shirt. And I was like, well, that might be weird if we're both just in black shirts. So I was like, I have to wear it and.

• 13:23Tig Notaro?

  And here you are. Well, if I can roast myself.

• 13:26Fortune Feimster?

  Does it make you hungry?

• 13:28Mae Martin?

  Kind of.

• 13:29Tig Notaro?

  Who doesn't want a mix of cherries, onions, mushrooms?

• 13:34Fortune Feimster?

  This might be the last, the last day I wear it.

• 13:37Tig Notaro?

  No, if so.

• 13:39Mae Martin?

  I haven't stopped staring at it since you've mentioned it.

• 13:41Tig Notaro?

  We want to know what.

• 13:43Mae Martin?

  What fruits those are meant to be.

• 13:46Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, who cares? Is this a onion, this is a, no, what's the kind of onion that's small?

• 13:51Mae Martin?

  Oh, a shallot?

• 13:53Tig Notaro?

  A shallot?

• 13:54Mae Martin?

  Shallot?

• 13:54Fortune Feimster?

  I think it's a shallot. And is that a cherry tomato?

• 13:58Mae Martin?

  That could be a fig.

• 13:59Fortune Feimster?

  Is it a fig? Wait, maybe it's figs. Maybe it's figs, you might be right.

• 14:06Mae Martin?

  I think so.

• 14:07Fortune Feimster?

  Or no, that could also be a giant caper. This shirt is wild.

• 14:16Tig Notaro?

  You have to, we have to all sign it and auction it off.

• 14:19Fortune Feimster?

  I definitely think this is why I didn't get that job.

• 14:24Tig Notaro?

  Well, if I can tell you, which I, and I have to confess, I did say this on stage the other night for the first time, so my apologies, I'm going into a bit.

• 14:32Fortune Feimster?

  It's fine, go away.

• 14:33Tig Notaro?

  But it's not even a bit, it really happened.

• 14:36Mae Martin?

  Give us your bit, baby.

• 14:37Tig Notaro?

  So I was in Orlando a few months ago with my friend.

• 14:42Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 14:43Tig Notaro?

  And.

• 14:44Mae Martin?

  Mickey.

• 14:44Tig Notaro?

  Huh?

• 14:45Mae Martin?

  I don't know. See?

• 14:47Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 14:48Mae Martin?

  But you have to keep trying.

• 14:50Tig Notaro?

  You gotta keep trying. You gotta keep putting yourself out there.

• 14:53Mae Martin?

  This is the same thing. I don't know.

• 14:57Tig Notaro?

  It's a game show.

• 14:58Fortune Feimster?

  Get you one of these shirts, babe.

• 15:00Mae Martin?

  All I need is a couple, a couple good ones.

• 15:02Fortune Feimster?

  Couple caper shirts.

• 15:03Tig Notaro?

  Mickey was good.

• 15:05Mae Martin?

  Mickey was just not good.

• 15:06Tig Notaro?

  High pitched good.

• 15:07Mae Martin?

  It was good, it was good.

• 15:08Tig Notaro?

• 15:43Mae Martin?

  Okay, you're in Orlando.

• 15:44Tig Notaro?

  I'm in Orlando. I'm hanging out with a friend of mine.

• 15:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 15:48Tig Notaro?

  Okay, and she says, so, you wear glasses now? And I said, yeah. And she's, and I've known her for, since I was like 18 or something. And I said, yeah. And she was like, that's, like, you always wear glasses now. And I said, yeah. And she said, so you went to see a doctor, an eye doctor, and you were told you needed them, so you then went to an eyeglass store and looked around? And I said, yeah. And she said, and you picked the Stephen King edition?

• 16:23Mae Martin?

  Oh my god, wow.

• 16:26Tig Notaro?

  And I was like, oh, I said, yeah, I guess, yeah, I guess they're Stephen King glasses. And, and I said, you know, I just needed something to help me see. And then I go to the airport, this is like a month ago, sometime over the summer when I was going to Toronto, and you know, the facial recognition? I walk up and I took my glasses off and the woman standing there who worked at the airport, she goes, oh, no, no, no, you, you don't have to take your glasses off, those are just for stylish glasses. And I was like.

• 17:01Mae Martin?

  Oh my god.

• 17:03Tig Notaro?

  My lord.

• 17:04Mae Martin?

  Wait, that seems like a rogue rule from her, they have to be stylish for you to have to take them off?

• 17:10Tig Notaro?

  I think she just meant like, you know.

• 17:12Mae Martin?

  Like fashion glasses.

• 17:13Tig Notaro?

  Fashionable.

• 17:14Mae Martin?

  I like those.

• 17:15Tig Notaro?

  Do you?

• 17:16Mae Martin?

  But now that you mention it, I'm wondering what, like, the potential of experimenting with different types.

• 17:22Tig Notaro?

  Well, just to finish, full circle, I tell Stephanie these things. And she, like a day later, she goes, oh my god, I told my mom about, you know, the comment about Stephen King glasses and the facial recognition, saying you don't have to with this. And she goes, my mother laughed so hard. And then she said, and yeah, why does she wear those glasses?

• 17:47Mae Martin?

  Oh my god.

• 17:48Tig Notaro?

  And I was like, oh my lord. So now I'm very interested, like, what glasses? Is my face calling for, so this never stuck out to you as weird?

• 17:59Fortune Feimster?

  You just always, you just have had them for a bit, right?

• 18:02Mae Martin?

  Kind of like the onion shirt, it just.

• 18:04Fortune Feimster?

  I was used to it.

• 18:05Tig Notaro?

  Well, this is fashion shirt.

• 18:07Fortune Feimster?

  No, listen, I definitely should weigh in on what people's fashion choices are.

• 18:12Mae Martin?

  I never noticed, I never flagged them as wrong for your face.

• 18:16Fortune Feimster?

  I never flagged them.

• 18:16Tig Notaro?

  Well, and then Stephanie did say, and they're chipped. Have you noticed that?

• 18:21Fortune Feimster?

  No.

• 18:21Tig Notaro?

  No. Do you see the painting?

• 18:23Fortune Feimster?

  Seen them in person.

• 18:24Tig Notaro?

  In Ohio?

• 18:25Fortune Feimster?

  I can't really tell that they're chipped from here.

• 18:28Tig Notaro?

  Okay, maybe you need glasses.

• 18:30Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe.

• 18:31Tig Notaro?

  Do you want to try them on?

• 18:32Fortune Feimster?

  Give me the name of your person. Oh man, this is blurry. Everything's blurry, how do I look with glasses?

• 18:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah, they're not great, they're not.

• 18:43Fortune Feimster?

  I just commented how not great these glasses are.

• 18:48Mae Martin?

  Can I try them?

• 18:48Fortune Feimster?

  May was like, I don't know.

• 18:50Tig Notaro?

  Pass them over to May.

• 18:51Fortune Feimster?

  May?

• 18:52Tig Notaro?

  Maybe May will say something funny.

• 18:55Mae Martin?

  When I put them on, I want to please let me do comedy.

• 19:00Tig Notaro?

  Oh, of course, makes them look hot.

• 19:02Mae Martin?

  No, I don't think so.

• 19:03Fortune Feimster?

  Nerd alert.

• 19:04Mae Martin?

  This is.

• 19:06Tig Notaro?

  Nerd alert.

• 19:06Fortune Feimster?

  Wow, your eye, your, what is your eyesight?

• 19:09Tig Notaro?

  Well, my.

• 19:10Fortune Feimster?

  Now my eyes are hurting.

• 19:11Tig Notaro?

  I told you my eyesight, I told you it's very bad.

• 19:14Mae Martin?

  Right, right.

• 19:14Tig Notaro?

  And I struggle with those on, too.

• 19:16Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 19:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you guys are like, nothing to me.

• 19:19Mae Martin?

  Oh, my god.

• 19:20Tig Notaro?

  I don't mean visually, I just mean as people.

• 19:22Mae Martin?

  Emotionally, yeah, yeah.

• 19:23Fortune Feimster?

  Nothing to me. Yeah, those glasses are definitely not for you, May.

• 19:27Mae Martin?

  No, they're not.

• 19:28Fortune Feimster?

  Apparently they're not for me either.

• 19:30Mae Martin?

  Who are they for, just even?

• 19:31Fortune Feimster?

  Somehow I'm used to you on with these.

• 19:33Tig Notaro?

  Well, yeah, and I've gotten used to your capers.

• 19:37Fortune Feimster?

  It's gonna be with me for a long time now.

• 19:40Mae Martin?

  We could roast my fake ripped jeans that I've, they had there.

• 19:44Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, they're cool. They're real cool.

• 19:47Mae Martin?

  You know, you buy them pre-ripped, huh?

• 19:50Fortune Feimster?

  I don't. I don't buy any ripped jeans, because I don't want the airflow.

• 19:56Mae Martin?

  That what?

• 19:57Fortune Feimster?

  I.

• 19:58Tig Notaro?

  What? Do you really get a lot of airflow through your pants?

• 20:01Mae Martin?

  No, because they're really well patched up. But, wait, why wouldn't you want the airflow?

• 20:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, why don't you want airflow?

• 20:06Fortune Feimster?

  I don't want breezy knees.

• 20:08Mae Martin?

  You don't want breezy knees?

• 20:09Fortune Feimster?

  I don't want breezy knees.

• 20:11Mae Martin?

  But it's.

• 20:11Tig Notaro?

  Come on, May. Okay, then what do you do when you have shorts on? Ah.

• 20:17Fortune Feimster?

  Cam cam is what I do.

• 20:18Tig Notaro?

  That's right.

• 20:19Mae Martin?

  That's common. It's so hot out, you want, you don't want a little cool?

• 20:23Fortune Feimster?

  No, because if it's hot out, I'm just wearing shorts. I'm not doing full denim.

• 20:28Mae Martin?

  I ordered some vintage Levi's for like 20 bucks, like 501s, and they arrived today, and they reek of like, smoke or BO or something. Like, my whole, I was like, I gotta get them out of my house and just burn them or something.

• 20:44Fortune Feimster?

  You didn't want, because your backyard, huh?

• 20:46Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:47Fortune Feimster?

  You didn't want to try washing them?

• 20:49Tig Notaro?

  That's a great idea.

• 20:50Mae Martin?

  Thank you. I honestly.

• 20:52Fortune Feimster?

  Put my onion shirt in there with them.

• 20:54Mae Martin?

  They, they, I held them up and they were too small. I'm gonna re-donate them or something, but I don't want, they were so putridly.

• 21:02Tig Notaro?

  It sounds like they've been overly donated.

• 21:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Here's my question, are these jeans?

• 21:07Fortune Feimster?

  They are jeans, yeah.

• 21:08Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay.

• 21:09Fortune Feimster?

  But these are very thin.

• 21:10Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh.

• 21:11Mae Martin?

  They're almost like jeggings. Like, stretch jeans.

• 21:16Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, they're like, stretchy jeans.

• 21:17Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 21:18Fortune Feimster?

  Why'd you ask?

• 21:19Tig Notaro?

  I just wasn't sure, you know, my eyesight's terrible.

• 21:22Fortune Feimster?

  Right, right.

• 21:22Tig Notaro?

  I knew you had pants on.

• 21:24Fortune Feimster?

  Sizing up my whole outfit.

• 21:25Tig Notaro?

  I think you look great. I told you right away.

• 21:28Mae Martin?

  It's like we're seeing each other for the first time, like, really seeing each other.

• 21:31Fortune Feimster?

  We're just really taking each other in.

• 21:32Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:32Tig Notaro?

  I know.

• 21:32Fortune Feimster?

  I'm about to go back to North Carolina to visit my mama.

• 21:36Tig Notaro?

  Oh, Genji.

• 21:38Fortune Feimster?

  Mama, hoo hoo hoo. We are doing one of the episodes, I think, coming up, where I will be with her.

• 21:46Mae Martin?

  Will she be in the episode?

• 21:49Fortune Feimster?

  She'll be in the room, I don't have another, you, you know, I have my headset.

• 21:53Tig Notaro?

  I do, your, your old Navy headset.

• 21:55Fortune Feimster?

  And I'll have one.

• 21:56Mae Martin?

  Can we get her one or something? I would love to.

• 21:58Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know, I'll just have to hand it to her for a minute and have her say hi to y'all.

• 22:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 22:03Tig Notaro?

  She's gonna put the headset on?

• 22:04Fortune Feimster?

  I think so, I'll have her put the headset on for a minute.

• 22:07Tig Notaro?

  Go to Hulu.

• 22:07Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that's gonna be good.

• 22:08Fortune Feimster?

  Until, until we can get her in person, that will have to be the best that we can do. I don't know what, I told y'all, I, I don't know what to expect when I'm visiting her now, because she's really throwing me curveballs.

• 22:21Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 22:21Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, last time I went to go visit, I posted this online, but I got off the plane, my brother happened to be in town, we had lunch with her, and then all of a sudden, she's like, "I want us all to go to the funeral home." And we're like, "What?" And she goes, "We're gonna go plan my funeral."

• 22:38Mae Martin?

  Oh, my god.

• 22:40Fortune Feimster?

  We were like, uh.

• 22:41Mae Martin?

  With that chipper, that.

• 22:42Fortune Feimster?

  The most chipper.

• 22:43Mae Martin?

  Oh, man.

• 22:44Tig Notaro?

  But that's amazing.

• 22:45Fortune Feimster?

  No, it ended up being amazing, and everyone, that's what everyone was saying, like, what a gift.

• 22:50Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 22:51Fortune Feimster?

  Because you don't want to have to, even when you're, you know, when the, she, as she says, hopefully it's 10 years from now.

• 22:56Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 22:57Fortune Feimster?

  Um, that, you know, you don't want to have that, um, happening when you're sad.

• 23:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 23:03Fortune Feimster?

  So, we went to the funeral home, and I just started, well, I was like, well, if I'm coming to the funeral home, I am gonna film content.

• 23:10Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 23:10Fortune Feimster?

  Um, so I did get some.

• 23:11Tig Notaro?

  Well, yeah, you gotta keep your numbers up.

• 23:13Fortune Feimster?

  I gotta keep my numbers up.

• 23:14Mae Martin?

  Get that star meter up, yeah.

• 23:15Fortune Feimster?

  And, um, and so, we go in there, and she just starts planning it. At first, I got started crying, only because, you know, the, if, if she didn't have incurable cancer, it would be more of like, oh, one day.

• 23:29Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 23:29Fortune Feimster?

  Um, but this hits a little too close to home.

• 23:32Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 23:32Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, with the timeline here, and, um, so I was like, crying at first, but then, then she started telling us her ideas, and you can't not laugh, she wants a.

• 23:42Mae Martin?

  Well, I, I remember her second wedding, was circus themed.

• 23:45Tig Notaro?

  Anything like that?

• 23:46Fortune Feimster?

  Similar, um, she wants a cardboard cutout of herself.

• 23:52Mae Martin?

  This is great.

• 23:53Tig Notaro?

  So, a classic funeral.

• 23:54Fortune Feimster?

  Classic funeral.

• 23:55Mae Martin?

  Oh, my god.

• 23:56Fortune Feimster?

  She would like.

• 23:57Tig Notaro?

  Is she being funny?

• 23:58Fortune Feimster?

  No, no, no, she's being dead serious.

• 24:00Mae Martin?

  Cardboard cutout.

• 24:01Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 24:02Tig Notaro?

  Okay, so she, in, like, not being funny, wants a cardboard cutout of herself.

• 24:08Mae Martin?

  For people to take pictures with and stuff?

• 24:09Fortune Feimster?

  Honestly, I don't know, but I guess you could.

• 24:12Tig Notaro?

  But that's a good question, May.

• 24:14Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, it's pretty easily done. I will ask her if she wants people to take pictures of her. But she wants a full, a full cardboard cutout of herself to be somewhere in.

• 24:23Tig Notaro?

  Totally reasonable.

• 24:25Mae Martin?

  I like that.

• 24:26Fortune Feimster?

  She doesn't want to, anything at the grave, because she wants to be cremated. Everything's gonna be, um, at the church, she wants it at our United Methodist Church. Um, she wants to pick all the songs.

• 24:38Tig Notaro?

  What songs?

• 24:39Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, um, she wants some hymns, you know, I don't, she hasn't picked those out yet, but she, she was very concerned about what, um, the snacks would be.

• 24:49Tig Notaro?

  Of course.

• 24:51Fortune Feimster?

  After, she wants snacks after the service.

• 24:53Tig Notaro?

  Could you get her cardboard cutout, holding a tray of snacks?

• 24:56Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, we could do that.

• 24:57Mae Martin?

  That'd be good.

• 24:57Fortune Feimster?

  Um, she did, she did say no Chick-fil-A nuggets, just because she's.

• 25:02Tig Notaro?

  Well, she's fancy.

• 25:03Fortune Feimster?

  She's still, well, no, she still stands firm on, she doesn't love their past with gay, uh, gays.

• 25:09Mae Martin?

  I love that.

• 25:10Fortune Feimster?

  I know, so she, even in death, she's standing firm on that.

• 25:14Tig Notaro?

  So, she's like.

• 25:14Fortune Feimster?

  Ten toes down.

• 25:15Tig Notaro?

  Whatever, just no.

• 25:17Fortune Feimster?

  No Chick-fil-A nuggets.

• 25:19Mae Martin?

  You're like, we weren't planning on that.

• 25:21Fortune Feimster?

  She wants the family to have, because the ladies of the church, um, provide either a meal or a snack for the family, and she's like, "I think y'all should take the meal, because that's more food."

• 25:34Mae Martin?

  Oh, my god.

• 25:36Fortune Feimster?

  Okay? And then, the best part was, um, she wants to do a dry run, as she calls it, of this funeral.

• 25:46Tig Notaro?

  Can I go?

• 25:46Fortune Feimster?

  Please, so that she can be there to see what people would say, what it would look like.

• 25:53Tig Notaro?

  That's so not, I mean, why don't more people do that?

• 25:55Fortune Feimster?

  I know, so, so at some point, there has to be an actual dry run.

• 26:00Mae Martin?

  Are you gonna do it?

• 26:01Fortune Feimster?

  I, I guess, we gotta figure it out.

• 26:03Tig Notaro?

  You'd have to, it's her wish.

• 26:04Mae Martin?

  And does she, who, who does she want to speak?

• 26:07Fortune Feimster?

  I'm not sure yet, she has.

• 26:08Tig Notaro?

  Probably us, right?

• 26:09Fortune Feimster?

  Probably you guys, for sure. So, she's gonna let us know, um, what the songs will be, and who's gonna speak. Now, I, I don't know, like, if we invite people to this, like, will there be an audience? There's things to figure out.

• 26:22Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:22Fortune Feimster?

  Um, for sure, but, yeah.

• 26:24Tig Notaro?

  Beyond what you already listed?

• 26:27Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, so.

• 26:28Tig Notaro?

  Now, I hope it's okay that I'm going to steal something.

• 26:33Mae Martin?

  Please.

• 26:33Tig Notaro?

  Uh, but at my funeral, I am also going to say, "No Chick-fil-A nuggets."

• 26:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah, me too.

• 26:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, so.

• 26:40Mae Martin?

  Okay, there you go.

• 26:41Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I do, I do think we will probably implement the baby pools that she had at her wedding reception, for the coolers of the soft drinks, and can of soda.

• 26:53Mae Martin?

  Is it gonna be in the same location?

• 26:56Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, the.

• 26:56Mae Martin?

  Like, that's where the wedding was.

• 26:57Fortune Feimster?

  The, the, yeah, where she got married is where her funeral would be.

• 27:01Tig Notaro?

  And so, the sodas, is it like, Tab and Fresca?

• 27:04Fortune Feimster?

  No, in the south, it's like Coke and Diet Coke and Sprite and stuff like that. Those will be in the reception hall, wherever the non-chicken nuggets will be, and whatever snacks that we land on.

• 27:15Tig Notaro?

  But she wants chicken nuggets there, just.

• 27:17Fortune Feimster?

  Um, she wants the family to have the hearty meal that the ladies at the church provide.

• 27:22Tig Notaro?

  Sure.

• 27:23Fortune Feimster?

  Now, what, what we do snack wise, for the guests, af- after the funeral, will be up to us, because the ladies will have already done their part.

• 27:31Mae Martin?

  Okay.

• 27:34Fortune Feimster?

  Um, so, yeah, so we started just laughing hysterically during this.

• 27:40Mae Martin?

  That's so nice.

• 27:41Fortune Feimster?

  Um, because it, you know, as always, my mom's ridiculous.

• 27:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 27:45Fortune Feimster?

  But she's dead, as I said, dead serious about this, uh, and so, we even took pictures that week of her.

• 27:54Tig Notaro?

  For the cardboard cutout.

• 27:55Fortune Feimster?

  Cardboard cutout.

• 27:56Mae Martin?

  And what did she wear for the?

• 27:57Tig Notaro?

  This is unreal.

• 27:59Fortune Feimster?

  She had red pants on.

• 28:01Tig Notaro?

  And she wants that exact outfit, like, in, okay.

• 28:03Fortune Feimster?

  Red pants on and a shirt, um, with cherries.

• 28:07Mae Martin?

  Oh, maybe you could let her wear that.

• 28:11Fortune Feimster?

  The rest of the family, we just love a future. Yeah, and so, and I, and we also filmed her that day telling a bunch of stories in her outfit.

• 28:20Tig Notaro?

  Oh, right. You did the camera, multi-camera shoot?

• 28:23Fortune Feimster?

  We did a shoot where she told us a lot of family history and anything that we would want to know.

• 28:28Tig Notaro?

  Any family secrets?

• 28:29Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, that's such a great idea. I should have asked. I didn't ask them. I didn't ask. But I do, I do think there's more to film her about.

• 28:37Mae Martin?

  Definitely, yeah.

• 28:38Tig Notaro?

  I don't think her story's done.

• 28:39Fortune Feimster?

  If you think there are any more questions, let me know. But yeah, that was, I was not expecting that. But, but yeah, everyone that, that weighed in on it from the content collected was saying that that was such a cool thing for her to do for us. And it was. I mean, you know, I hate, it's hard to talk about those things because the reality of it is so sad. But, you know, I do appreciate that we are having candid conversations about it, too.

• 29:10Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, having an open dialogue. So many families cannot talk about losing the person who is on their way out, even up till their death. There's, there's no conversation.

• 29:25Mae Martin?

  And then you're just in the swamp after and...

• 29:27Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's so important to me to make sure that Max and Finn and Stephanie, everybody, knows that I have checked everything off my list in life. I just want to be around longer to see Max and Finn grow up.

• 29:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 29:44Tig Notaro?

  Um, but there is not anything I...

• 29:47Mae Martin?

  That is a gift.

• 29:48Tig Notaro?

  Want for myself.

• 29:49Mae Martin?

  To be comfortable with mortality for your kids is so nice.

• 29:52Tig Notaro?

  I'm not totally comfortable with dying, but I'll tell you, um, I do want to really, if I have a choice of how I want things to go, how I want to die, how the funeral or memorial goes, and this is something I think about near daily now.

• 30:14Fortune Feimster?

  Really?

• 30:15Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 30:15Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Yeah, because I just, I'm well aware, anything can happen.

• 30:21Mae Martin?

  Right. Do you have a plan for your funeral?

• 30:23Tig Notaro?

  No. And that's the thing is like...

• 30:26Mae Martin?

  You gotta have a few surprises. Like, it's nice for everyone to know going in and, and your family and stuff, but like, throw me and Fortune a little surprise or something. Like, put people on the spot. Are we invited?

• 30:37Fortune Feimster?

  Think about us.

• 30:37Tig Notaro?

  Do you think you would go to my funeral?

• 30:39Mae Martin?

  I would be there in a heartbeat, but...

• 30:41Tig Notaro?

  Because you're excited.

• 30:43Mae Martin?

  No.

• 30:44Fortune Feimster?

  Well, this is, as my mom says, many years down the road.

• 30:47Mae Martin?

  Many years down the road. I just, I think it'd be fun to put people on the spot, like, to be like...

• 30:52Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, like a pass the mic. Oh, my mom doesn't want to pass the mic around. Anyone who wants to say stuff, come on up.

• 30:58Mae Martin?

  But if it was like, wow, Tig in her last will and testament said that we have to do a dance, like...

• 31:03Tig Notaro?

  That's the thing, is I think part of the, the peace for other people, not just that you don't have to plan it, but also that you can see your loved ones' wishes.

• 31:19Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, it's true.

• 31:20Tig Notaro?

  Just completely, exactly the way they had hoped. And that would bring joy in the pain and sadness of loss. And whether it's serious or, or silly, or however they want it, it would be such a wonderful, be like, that is exactly, exactly what they want to...

• 31:50Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, she said she wants it to be a celebration, so we'll just have to celebrate.

• 31:55Tig Notaro?

  For sure.

• 31:56Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 31:57Tig Notaro?

  I think it's awesome.

• 31:58Mae Martin?

  It's very cool.

• 31:59Tig Notaro?

  And it's so, and you're so lucky that your mother is an evolved person, able to have these conversations and, and be like, alright, everybody, let's go to the funeral home. And let, I mean, that is, that is one of the biggest gifts you could ever hope to have.

• 32:18Fortune Feimster?

  For sure. And, you know, it's like...

• 32:24Tig Notaro?

  It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough.

• 32:30Fortune Feimster?

  Why don't always crowd her and head go?

• 32:36Tig Notaro?

  It's tough.

• 32:37Fortune Feimster?

  It's when we're in person.

• 32:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh, thank you, Mr. Thomas. But Fortune, it's like, it's all...

• 32:46Mae Martin?

  It's the hardest thing in the world.

• 32:47Tig Notaro?

  The, the humor is real, but also underneath it is like the reality of the situation.

• 32:55Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I know, it's like so, it's such a weird universe to be living in right now because I've been crying like, a lot lately. And just because, you know, there's been some real valleys for her and not great news. And so I'm just like sad. And, but then she throws these like, things in there that make me laugh so much, that, you know, it does, it brings levity.

• 33:25Fortune Feimster?

  But I am glad to have the time to like, you know, have these conversations and, and to know what the runway is, so that it's not like you had to experience just some, like, out of nowhere, complete like, gobsmacked thing, you know? I am grateful that there is like, time to, you know, to do the things and say the things and...

• 33:50Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, and, and, yeah, so many people, they, they're gone with no notice. And you, there's so much to catch up on and planning and, yeah, my mother is like, mid-sixties and like, nobody saw that coming. And, and so there's, there was no plan.

• 34:10Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 34:10Tig Notaro?

  And the fact that you get, she's bringing you in on the planning and, and yeah, hopefully it's 10 years from now.

• 34:17Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 34:18Tig Notaro?

  And that's not going to be easy either in 10 years. But the, the openness is, I'm, I'm true, I find it so remarkable because I think so many people, um, her age, not only don't talk about that, but even cancer, it is unspoken. And, and it's private, and then that's it. And so wherever she got this from is...

• 34:45Mae Martin?

  Yeah, what, is she reading amazing books or she's just always been this evolved?

• 34:52Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, she's pretty candid. Yeah, we've always like, faced things pretty candidly.

• 34:57Tig Notaro?

  Are you surprised, though, that that's how she's dealing it?

• 35:00Fortune Feimster?

  No, I guess not. I mean, I'm surprised by her resilience. I think that's probably surprised her too. Like, she's just handled it so strongly. Because, you know, there are times in her life that she's been, um, you know, I don't know what the right word is.

• 35:18Mae Martin?

  Like rocked by life?

• 35:19Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, yeah. And had a hard time like, letting go of the hard things that happened. She would hold on to things. But this, she has just faced it very strongly, very openly. She's talked a lot, you know, online about it and, you know, and so, and what it has done is that I get all, I mean, I have never been so immersed in this world of cancer. It's not a world I would choose to be in, as you know firsthand. But I've just been so surprised at all the people sharing their stories with me now,

• 36:00Fortune Feimster?

  talking about it and being kind of grateful and that someone's having a conversation about it.

• 36:06Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, people are so desperate to be seen, like, with their own illness or their family members. And when there's that darkness secretive.

• 36:19Mae Martin?

  And have it modeled, like, how to do it, how to do it well, you know?

• 36:24Tig Notaro?

  I would say you guys are doing it spectacularly because there's no getting around it being sad and knowing somebody's struggling and you love her and, and, but that it's also like, man, she's kicking such serious ass, even down to like, her cardboard cutout.

• 36:46Fortune Feimster?

  That will be fun. I have to get that made for the dry run, for sure.

• 36:50Mae Martin?

  You got to. She needs to see it. You can see it on Amazon or...

• 36:53Fortune Feimster?

  True, true. She should just live in her apartment.

• 36:58Tig Notaro?

  It's just, like, it also makes me wish I was like, a psychologist because I would love to talk to her and get into her mind and be like, tell me about the chicken nuggets and the cutout.

• 37:12Fortune Feimster?

  Well, maybe we can get her on the pod one of these days.

• 37:15Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh, yes, please. That would be amazing. We could, we could devote an episode to her.

• 37:23Mae Martin?

  I would love that.

• 37:24Fortune Feimster?

  I would really love that. We'll figure it out. Well, should we get to, now that we've talked about this? Let's get our question for today.

• 37:34Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Today's question, Oscar, is a Canadian musician and producer who variety is called a feminist and queer icon. She is currently on tour and you can get tickets on her website. Peaches is asking today's question. Truly an icon.

• 37:48Fortune Feimster?

  I have listened to my friends just scream sing Peaches' songs and it's so fun to watch.

• 37:54Mae Martin?

  Yeah, and her live shows are incredible. You gotta go.

• 37:58Speaker 05

  Hello, handsome. It's Peaches and Miss Fangy. Listen to that purr. Oh, she's so cute. And my question for you today is, are you a cat person? Are you a dog person? Are you a snake person? I don't know, a bird person? What, my question is, what kind of pet is your pet of choice?

• 38:26Fortune Feimster?

  Did you hear the purrs?

• 38:28Mae Martin?

  Yes.

• 38:28Fortune Feimster?

  I didn't.

• 38:29Mae Martin?

  There, there was a low rumbling purr there.

• 38:33Fortune Feimster?

  A little low rumbling purr.

• 38:34Tig Notaro?

  Pearl.

• 38:35Mae Martin?

  Can you imagine if we revealed that one of us is a snake person and we didn't know this whole time?

• 38:40Fortune Feimster?

  That is a very specific personality to be a snake person. I am not one of those.

• 38:45Mae Martin?

  That's always heroin dealers in, in the park. They have a...

• 38:51Tig Notaro?

  Wait, wait, wait. Go back.

• 38:52Fortune Feimster?

  There are some iguana people that aren't heroin dealers.

• 38:56Mae Martin?

  I'm just, the guys in the park, grown up, who had an iguana on their, on their shoulders, usually...

• 39:02Tig Notaro?

  They were heroin people?

• 39:03Mae Martin?

  Usually a heroin dealer, yeah, yeah. But also...

• 39:05Tig Notaro?

  That is a subculture.

• 39:07Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, bird people are specific, too.

• 39:09Mae Martin?

  I was just reading a kid's book about like, friendship, not for me.

• 39:16Mae Martin?

  Just to figure out how to connect with each other.

• 39:17Tig Notaro?

  I think you're back.

• 39:22Tig Notaro?

  Welcome back, my friend.

• 39:24Mae Martin?

  Part of it was like, these two kids, and one of them's like, "I love cats," and the other's like, "I love dogs." And then, the moral was, they were like, "Wait, I also like dogs, and I also like cats." They were like, "We can like them both." Like, I don't know, when you're born, they go, "You gotta be a cat person or a dog person." "I love them both."

• 39:42Tig Notaro?

  It's like being non-binary.

• 39:44Mae Martin?

  Exactly.

• 39:45Fortune Feimster?

  Yes, you can be both. Or you can be nothing at all.

• 39:48Mae Martin?

  Exactly, yeah.

• 39:49Fortune Feimster?

  Whoever you want.

• 39:51Mae Martin?

  I would've always said I was a dog person, and then Parv got these two kittens that, I mean, they're a year old now or something, but they are, you can, you can kinda manhandle them. You can, you can get right in there, and they're purring, and they're, they were strays.

• 40:05Tig Notaro?

  What does manhandle look like? But I mean, like, just...

• 40:09Mae Martin?

  Just like grab them and rub your face in them, and they're, they're, they never scratch. They're so cute.

• 40:15Tig Notaro?

  Rub that face in that puss, you know?

• 40:16Mae Martin?

  They're killers, though, they do...

• 40:19Mae Martin?

  Sorry, if you miss that, Fortune says.

• 40:21Tig Notaro?

  Fortune Marie.

• 40:22Mae Martin?

  Rub that face in that puss. No, I listen, Peaches is asking the question.

• 40:26Fortune Feimster?

  I just like to make eye contact with Tig, as I say that, because your mouth freezes.

• 40:32Mae Martin?

  I, I would think there's a dog in my future, but I'm loving...

• 40:35Fortune Feimster?

  You're a dog and cat person now?

• 40:37Mae Martin?

  I'm loving these particular cats. I don't, I don't like knowing I could get mauled, like, your cat, remember?

• 40:44Tig Notaro?

  I do remember.

• 40:45Mae Martin?

  Do you remember?

• 40:46Tig Notaro?

  But those scars have kinda disappeared.

• 40:49Mae Martin?

  Kind of.

• 40:49Tig Notaro?

  Kind of.

• 40:50Mae Martin?

  It was like, you said, "Oh, my cat scratched me," and then, revealed it was like you had a tiger cross your belly. deep maul you.

• 40:58Fortune Feimster?

  Was it your belly?

• 40:59Tig Notaro?

  It was. Um, you know, I think I told you, he had gone through some trauma where his head got caught in a plastic bag handle, and he tried to get away from it, and then the plastic was flapping behind him.

• 41:11Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 41:12Tig Notaro?

  And he was just running up the stairs, down the stairs, just trying to, it was so sad. And ever since then, he was just a little on edge.

• 41:21Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 41:21Tig Notaro?

  And I picked him up, walked past the kitchen counter, and pushed the stool in, and it went, "Arrgh!" And he used my stomach as his launching pad.

• 41:34Mae Martin?

  Claws out.

• 41:35Tig Notaro?

  I mean, yeah, but it's like, he didn't know.

• 41:39Fortune Feimster?

  He didn't mean it.

• 41:40Tig Notaro?

  Poor little thing. But, um, I, what I find fascinating is when people are not any animal.

• 41:46Mae Martin?

  Oh, that's, I mean, they need to go to jail, that's like, that's such a...

• 41:51Fortune Feimster?

  Some people just do not like...

• 41:53Mae Martin?

  Any animals?

• 41:54Fortune Feimster?

  Dogs or...

• 41:54Mae Martin?

  Is that not a red flag?

• 41:56Tig Notaro?

  It's, it's interesting.

• 41:57Fortune Feimster?

  Definitely a different thing, I don't know what that is.

• 42:00Mae Martin?

  Like, I get being nervous about them, maybe you've had an experience, but like, they are gifts from the Lord.

• 42:06Fortune Feimster?

  They are.

• 42:07Mae Martin?

  They really are.

• 42:08Tig Notaro?

  Yes, yes, they, they have, I, I truly, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I sometimes feel like I'm deeply on drugs when I see animals inside the house.

• 42:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 42:20Tig Notaro?

  I'm like, "We have animals, Stephanie, we have animals, living inside of our house." These little furry creatures are living in our house.

• 42:31Mae Martin?

  They're, they're part of your family, they're taking a shit in a tray, they're...

• 42:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it makes us laugh so hard, where, after I explained that to her, the, she started having those moments on her own. She's like, "I had that drug-trippy moment when, when Skip came walking in the room." It's like, there's a little animal that just presented itself.

• 42:56Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 42:56Tig Notaro?

  I'll be honest, I am a cat person.

• 42:59Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 42:59Fortune Feimster?

  We didn't know that about you.

• 43:00Tig Notaro?

  I do love a dog.

• 43:02Mae Martin?

  You do? Like, you, you like to get in there with a dog?

• 43:06Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, the dog has to not smell like a dog, dirty dog.

• 43:10Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I do, I do agree.

• 43:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 43:13Fortune Feimster?

  The dirty dog's tough on, and it gets into the furniture.

• 43:16Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah, that's, that's, that's a little bit of a, you don't have a problem with that.

• 43:22Mae Martin?

  I...

• 43:22Tig Notaro?

  Because I remember your Harrison Ford, like, "Come here."

• 43:25Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 43:28Tig Notaro?

  So it seems like you're fine with smelly dogs and...

• 43:31Mae Martin?

  Well, like, cat houses smell like they have cats in them, the, the litter, that bothers me more, I think. Like, the, yeah, I don't mind, well, yeah, I guess sometimes, like, a big golden retriever is real stinky, I don't love that.

• 43:43Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh.

• 43:44Mae Martin?

  But man...

• 43:45Tig Notaro?

  What do you prefer, a smelly dog, or a house that smells like cat litter?

• 43:50Fortune Feimster?

  I think I would, I've never had a cat, so I don't know what that's like, but I would think that with the cat litter, wouldn't just one room smell?

• 44:02Tig Notaro?

  Well, this wasn't a real question, but I love that you're taking it to a serious level.

• 44:06Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, you ask, I'm gonna answer, that's our podcast.

• 44:09Tig Notaro?

  You ask, we answer.

• 44:12Mae Martin?

  Are you full dog?

• 44:13Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, yeah, I mean, I love, I mean, I can't really talk about it, I'll cry again.

• 44:20Mae Martin?

  Wait, I, this just reminded me that someone DM'd me and said that there, said, "You gotta do this quiz on Handsome that finds out what vegetable you are," because we, I guess, did a mini-episode where we had to say what vegetable we are, and apparently it's so accurate.

• 44:35Fortune Feimster?

  How did we go to vegetable?

• 44:37Mae Martin?

  I don't know, I was just thinking, what...

• 44:39Fortune Feimster?

  You ask, we answer. We will definitely do that.

• 44:43Mae Martin?

  Should I find it?

• 44:44Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 44:45Tig Notaro?

  Oh, right now?

• 44:46Mae Martin?

  Or maybe put it on the list.

• 44:49Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe, after we answer the question.

• 44:52Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.

• 44:53Fortune Feimster?

  Um, I mean, I'm a, I'm a Biggie person, obviously.

• 44:57Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 44:58Fortune Feimster?

  But, yeah.

• 44:58Tig Notaro?

  Because I could see you really getting into a little kitten.

• 45:01Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, maybe, maybe, I'm really into little dogs, I love little dogs.

• 45:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 45:06Fortune Feimster?

  Um, I don't, I don't get to see Biggie, um, and that makes me sad, um, so I'm not gonna go into that. But, um, yeah, I was totally obsessed with him.

• 45:18Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 45:19Fortune Feimster?

  Um, in a way I never experienced with any dog.

• 45:22Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 45:23Mae Martin?

  Animals teach you how to love, like, to be, you're picking up its shit, you're tending to its, and you're like, "I love this creature," that's a really...

• 45:33Fortune Feimster?

  I know, there was something, like, waking up to him was like, the greatest feeling in the world.

• 45:39Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 45:39Fortune Feimster?

  Um...

• 45:40Tig Notaro?

  And you hadn't had a dog before him?

• 45:42Fortune Feimster?

  I had a dog growing up, and, and the dog, that dog died when I was 12, and I was so devastated by it that I was like, "I'll never have another dog." Not, not in a way that I didn't love dogs, but I was just like, "I can't handle this pain."

• 45:55Mae Martin?

  What kind of dog was that?

• 45:57Fortune Feimster?

  It was a little, uh, Shelties, it's called, it's like a mini, a miniature collie, um, and I loved that dog, too. But, you know, Biggie, you just, I had for nine years, he, we, he just doesn't live near me anymore, um, so I don't get to be with him, but, um, yeah, I just couldn't believe how much I loved

• 46:16Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 46:17Fortune Feimster?

  this dog, so he opened my world back up to, to dogs, and so now, every time I see dogs, I'm always like, "Oh my God, your dog," I'm really into wiener dogs right now.

• 46:27Mae Martin?

  Me too.

• 46:27Fortune Feimster?

  Like, the furry ones, the long-haired ones, I'm so into.

• 46:31Mae Martin?

  Too much.

• 46:32Tig Notaro?

  Fortune.

• 46:32Fortune Feimster?

  If I see, I take pictures of people's...

• 46:35Tig Notaro?

  And how about the blonde ones?

• 46:36Mae Martin?

  Yeah, the blonde, the long-haired, they're glamorous.

• 46:39Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, yeah, I'm just everywhere I go, and I'm, I'm pet, I pet, I just saw a, a handsome listener in, uh, had their wiener dog, and I was like, "Oh my God, can I pet your dog?" And...

• 46:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 46:52Fortune Feimster?

  Um, so I'm very into other, I think that's helping me feel connected to Biggie still, like, touching other people's dogs.

• 46:59Tig Notaro?

  And now, do you think we should potentially get a handsome wiener dog?

• 47:04Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe.

• 47:05Tig Notaro?

  That we, uh...

• 47:06Mae Martin?

  Joint cuss.

• 47:07Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, joint cussing.

• 47:08Mae Martin?

  Don't tempt me, because I would, the only thing stopping me is traveling, so...

• 47:12Fortune Feimster?

  I know, the travel...

• 47:13Tig Notaro?

  I know, but then, that's where we can hand it off, with, and then, you know...

• 47:17Mae Martin?

  Oh my God, with that, I mean, I really want one.

• 47:21Fortune Feimster?

  I love that we all love wiener dogs so much.

• 47:22Tig Notaro?

  Long-haired wiener dogs.

• 47:24Fortune Feimster?

  Long-haired wiener dogs.

• 47:25Tig Notaro?

  Get out of my way.

• 47:27Fortune Feimster?

  It's the only, it's the only wiener I wanna touch.

• 47:31Tig Notaro?

  Question?

• 47:34Mae Martin?

  I also, I love...

• 47:35Fortune Feimster?

  If you're, I can't high-five May on this, so you're gonna...

• 47:39Tig Notaro?

  Why can't you?

• 47:40Fortune Feimster?

  Because May, because I'm loving... May loves wieners, too.

• 47:46Fortune Feimster?

  And whatever.

• 47:47Mae Martin?

  I really love like a mutt, I, I follow all those accounts of like, part pit bull kind of mutts, and I, I like like a, like, a mutt that the world forgot about, that's like, older, and it's in the shop, maybe I would get an old dog.

• 48:02Tig Notaro?

  Oh, like, maybe a little "Hello in there" mutt?

• 48:05Mae Martin?

  Yes, hello in there.

• 48:06Tig Notaro?

  Did you like that song?

• 48:07Mae Martin?

  Yes, oh my God.

• 48:09Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 48:09Mae Martin?

  I wanna play it for Parv later, yeah.

• 48:11Fortune Feimster?

  You know, our friend of the pod, Alison Dunbar, rescues senior dogs, and it takes a special person to be able to do that.

• 48:18Tig Notaro?

  She just rescued one.

• 48:19Fortune Feimster?

  I know, I don't know how she does it, I think it would kill me, but she, because she lost a senior dog not too long ago. Yeah, that just really devastated her, I would be a wreck, but I'm always like, thank God for those people who can do it, because it just, it does take a special spirit to be able to give that dog such a great life at the end, and, uh...

• 48:46Tig Notaro?

  I mean, I, I would hope that I would do that if I had the time and the, you know,

• 48:51Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 48:52Tig Notaro?

  schedule, that, you know...

• 48:54Fortune Feimster?

  I know, my travel schedule really does prevent me from getting another, another dog right now, that really is what...

• 49:00Tig Notaro?

  Well, that's why the community wiener dog situation is, uh, I think really, I think it'll work for us.

• 49:08Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know if I'll ever have a cat, but I could see a world in which...

• 49:12Mae Martin?

  I can't really picture you with a cat, I gotta say, because...

• 49:15Tig Notaro?

  I can, because Biggie was a little bit bigger than a cat.

• 49:20Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 49:21Tig Notaro?

  And very, if you want, snuggly.

• 49:23Mae Martin?

  But he was so chill, and cats...

• 49:26Tig Notaro?

  There are chill, snuggly cats.

• 49:28Fortune Feimster?

  I have pictures of him on my wall.

• 49:30Mae Martin?

  It's just the, in, the, the cats' like, unpredictable, intermittent, irregular sprints at night, where it's like 1:00 AM, and you're like, "Digga, digga, digga, digga."

• 49:40Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I don't think I would like how cats, don't they like, paw your head at night, like, they come and smack you in the head? They don't?

• 49:48Tig Notaro?

  Not my cats.

• 49:49Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, maybe you have to just have a cert, like, a train, you train cats?

• 49:54Tig Notaro?

  I don't.

• 49:54Fortune Feimster?

  I genuinely don't know.

• 49:55Tig Notaro?

  No.

• 49:56Fortune Feimster?

  No, they just, you just kinda get what, what you get is...

• 49:59Tig Notaro?

  My understanding is, like, um, they're called tuxedo cats, they're pretty, um...

• 50:05Mae Martin?

  Black and white cats?

• 50:06Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, they're pretty chill.

• 50:08Mae Martin?

  Yeah, orange cats are chill, too.

• 50:10Tig Notaro?

  Well, I think orange cats can be a little bit cuckoo.

• 50:13Fortune Feimster?

  I do like the furry cats, what are those called? Like, the real, like, real furry? No, there's cats like, that have like, kinda more matted fur, I like the real soft furry ones.

• 50:25Mae Martin?

  Yeah, you like a long string of hair.

• 50:26Tig Notaro?

  Long hair.

• 50:27Speaker 04

  Have a land?

• 50:28Fortune Feimster?

  Maybe.

• 50:29Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 50:29Fortune Feimster?

  My, my friend Andrea had a, what was it, her cat?

• 50:34Tig Notaro?

  Is that it?

• 50:34Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, maybe, yeah, that's, that's pretty cute.

• 50:36Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 50:37Fortune Feimster?

  I like it, clearly it was big, yeah, like a big furry.

• 50:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 50:41Fortune Feimster?

  Lots of hair.

• 50:42Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 50:44Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, do we need to find out what vegetable we are?

• 50:46Mae Martin?

  Can we?

• 50:47Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 50:47Fortune Feimster?

  Yes, please.

• 50:48Speaker 04

  That quiz I've found is really long.

• 50:51Mae Martin?

  Oh, no.

• 50:52Speaker 04

  It's like too long to do.

• 50:53Fortune Feimster?

  Really?

• 50:54Tig Notaro?

  Two hour, two hour episode.

• 50:56Fortune Feimster?

  How much vegetable are you? Thomas says we have to say the vegetable quiz.

• 51:00Speaker 04

  I just did it myself and it took about five minutes.

• 51:03Mae Martin?

  Oh, man.

• 51:04Tig Notaro?

  And what vegetable?

• 51:05Speaker 04

  I am an onion.

• 51:06Tig Notaro?

  You're an onion? Well, look who's inheriting the shirt.

• 51:10Fortune Feimster?

  We don't know if this is a shallot or a caper.

• 51:13Tig Notaro?

  Or a fig.

• 51:14Fortune Feimster?

  Or an onion.

• 51:14Tig Notaro?

  Those are for sure capers.

• 51:16Fortune Feimster?

  This might be an onion. We'll never, we'll never know.

• 51:18Mae Martin?

  That's a peach. I'm seeing cherry tomatoes.

• 51:21Fortune Feimster?

  Why are there, why is a peach with a shallot?

• 51:26Tig Notaro?

  Peaches. Peaches.

• 51:29Fortune Feimster?

  Look at that. Well, should we hear?

• 51:31Tig Notaro?

  Was that this episode that we flagged your shirt?

• 51:33Fortune Feimster?

  Yes.

• 51:34Tig Notaro?

  Wow, that was a long time ago.

• 51:37Fortune Feimster?

  Should we hear what Peaches answered?

• 51:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 51:40Fortune Feimster?

  I'm gonna guess a cat, but I don't wanna.

• 51:44Tig Notaro?

  Snake.

• 51:45Speaker 05

  Love cats and dogs. I wish I could take this cat on tour, but that wouldn't work. Wish I could take this cat for a walk, but I can't.

• 51:55Speaker 05

  I wish I could still get any hair in my mouth from the cat, but I can't. And I'll take it because I'm a cat person.

• 52:03Tig Notaro?

  Oh, that cat is cute.

• 52:05Speaker 05

  So what is your pet of choice?

• 52:09Mae Martin?

  I do hear the purring.

• 52:10Fortune Feimster?

  That is an outrageous creature.

• 52:13Mae Martin?

  That.

• 52:13Tig Notaro?

  Peaches?

• 52:14Fortune Feimster?

  No, the cat.

• 52:18Fortune Feimster?

  That, what a, what a face that cat has. Well, and that, you heard the purring that time?

• 52:23Tig Notaro?

  I did. That's a Persian.

• 52:25Fortune Feimster?

  I have heard, I'm not heard, I have seen people take cats out on leashes.

• 52:30Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 52:31Fortune Feimster?

  Is that common?

• 52:33Tig Notaro?

  Not very common, or else you'd see it all the time. I wouldn't be saying, is that common?

• 52:37Fortune Feimster?

  But why, why are they doing that?

• 52:39Mae Martin?

  My friend.

• 52:42Tig Notaro?

  But why are they doing that?

• 52:44Fortune Feimster?

  Why isn't it happening?

• 52:45Mae Martin?

  Uh, my friend just, well, I also near the end of their lives, sometimes they'd do it, but also just.

• 52:51Fortune Feimster?

  New little assistance?

• 52:52Mae Martin?

  Or, or just to let them experience.

• 52:54Tig Notaro?

  But also in the beginning of their lives, people put them immediately on a leash and just train them to go on a walk. I tried desperately with Fluff.

• 53:03Mae Martin?

  You did?

• 53:03Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, and she was like, meow, like jumping in the air. And I was like, okay.

• 53:07Mae Martin?

  She didn't like it?

• 53:08Tig Notaro?

  She did not like that.

• 53:09Fortune Feimster?

  Wait, do cats still do the thing where they like go out?

• 53:12Tig Notaro?

  Do they still do it? What, like it was just?

• 53:16Fortune Feimster?

  Well, cause is it?

• 53:17Tig Notaro?

  For the eighties?

• 53:17Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, exactly. Is it still a thing where cats go out and like kill mice and stuff and then come inside? Or they all stay inside now because of coyotes and stuff?

• 53:26Mae Martin?

  I was trying to do stand up for a while, but like, did cats figure out how to get down from trees? Cause for a while you're calling the fire department all the time.

• 53:34Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 53:35Fortune Feimster?

  But that's less of a thing. That's less of a thing.

• 53:39Mae Martin?

  I came back and now I'm left again.

• 53:42Tig Notaro?

  You should have stopped it, Nikki.

• 53:44Speaker 04

  I actually, the fire department got a tree down, a cat down from a tree on my street the other night. Yeah, and they had to get the big, huge ladder because the cat was like 50 feet up in the tree.

• 53:56Mae Martin?

  There's something so funny about that because you know, they could get all the way up and then the cat's like meow and goes. That could get down the whole time.

• 54:04Fortune Feimster?

  Just jumps down.

• 54:05Tig Notaro?

  The cats into firefighters.

• 54:06Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 54:07Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 54:07Mae Martin?

  Like, I'm so scared up here.

• 54:10Tig Notaro?

  In the night, yeah.

• 54:12Mae Martin?

  Like you.

• 54:13Tig Notaro?

  That is, that is one of my, um, it's not a joke.

• 54:16Mae Martin?

  One of your, one of your kinks.

• 54:17Tig Notaro?

  Yes. Yeah, so like an exhausted housewife. Or a firefighter with a mustache.

• 54:24Fortune Feimster?

  That's right.

• 54:25Tig Notaro?

  That's right.

• 54:26Fortune Feimster?

  That's right. All right, all right, all right.

• 54:28Tig Notaro?

  That's right.

• 54:29Fortune Feimster?

  Well, wow, you guys.

• 54:31Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 54:32Fortune Feimster?

  Wow.

• 54:33Tig Notaro?

  Wow. I can't remember what comedian, uh, which comedian's joke. It might be Mark Cohen. Did you know him?

• 54:45Mae Martin?

  Mm-mm.

• 54:45Tig Notaro?

  Years ago, Sarah Silverman told me this joke of his. I think it was Mark. If it's not Mark, apologies. Cause I know everyone's listening to this podcast.

• 54:54Mae Martin?

  Mark's listening.

• 54:55Tig Notaro?

  But, um, it was, uh, when, uh, when he would take his cat to the vet and the vet would stick his finger in the cat's derriere. The cat would go.

• 55:07Fortune Feimster?

  Wow.

• 55:11Fortune Feimster?

  That's funny. Wow.

• 55:15Mae Martin?

  That's really good. That's so good.

• 55:19Tig Notaro?

  Good time.

• 55:20Mae Martin?

  I'm sure I destroyed that, but, uh, yes? What do you have coming up?

• 55:24Tig Notaro?

  What you have coming up?

  What you have.

  Well, you can find me at Largo or Dynasty Typewriter doing my circus of a show. Where you never know, is it stand up? Will it be a talk show? Will it be?

• 56:13Mae Martin?

  Get me, get me in there, coach. If it's a game show or something, can I come compete?

• 56:17Tig Notaro?
