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

• 0:18Tig Notaro?

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

  Welcome to the handsome pod and our pretty little episode. It's Fortune Feimster, one of your hosts.

• 1:59Tig Notaro?

  And I am another one of your hosts and my name is Tig Notaro.

• 2:03Fortune Feimster?

  Yay.

• 2:04Tig Notaro?

  Yay. Hi.

• 2:06Fortune Feimster?

  Hi Tig.

• 2:08Tig Notaro?

  Yay. Hi Fortune. Um, I was, I was laughing. I don't know if it was today or yesterday telling Stephanie about, I think May pointed it out that how many times, how often we show our guns on the podcast.

• 2:26Fortune Feimster?

  These old things?

• 2:27Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 2:29Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, we do, we do do that a lot because we're proud of them.

• 2:33Tig Notaro?

  Well, May's got the like full on working out, cut, like pushups.

• 2:39Fortune Feimster?

  Bull, the bulge. Um, what, what is this called?

• 2:43Tig Notaro?

  Arm.

• 2:44Fortune Feimster?

  Arm. Oh. Uh, and I just have a little crease in the, is that tricep? I don't know.

• 2:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I have a seventh grade education, but, um,

• 2:57Tig Notaro?

  but this summer I got a, um, trainer.

• 3:03Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I didn't know that.

• 3:05Tig Notaro?

  Well, yeah, I, uh, I, you know, I'm almost 55. I'm 54 and a half.

• 3:11Fortune Feimster?

  Hard to believe.

• 3:13Tig Notaro?

  Easy, easy to believe. And, um, you know, I gotta work on, on my bones and, um, and strengthen my body and stuff. So it's been hard. I've had, I've tried a couple of times before. With no success because of work and whatever.

• 3:31Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 3:31Tig Notaro?

  But now that I'm, I'm, uh, taking things down a notch a little bit with my schedule, I'm getting kind of excited about it, you know? Cause right now I just walk and tread water and it's really interesting because I start to think I'm in decent shape.

• 3:50Tig Notaro?

  Which I am.

• 3:52Fortune Feimster?

  Right.

• 3:52Tig Notaro?

  But then I'm not somebody that lifts weights. And so that really reveals everything. Because I am just not, I mean, the trainer said, here, we're gonna do, we're gonna go easy. And it was a 10 pound weight that I had to like lift up on my side. And I was like, oh, boy. Oh, boy. She was like, oh, okay. We can go down.

• 4:20Tig Notaro?

  All right, we'll start, we'll start light.

• 4:22Fortune Feimster?

  She thought she was. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, so. They say after 40, I think it is, that lifting weights for women is most imperative. When I was, I was buying some fitness equipment for the, my home, because I didn't want to join a gym.

• 4:41Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 4:42Fortune Feimster?

  And I told the guy, I said, you know, should I get a rower? You know, one of those rowing machines? And he goes, honestly, he goes, how old are you? And I told him, he goes, you need to get this weight machine. He's like, the weights are gonna do way more for you than the rower. I was like, oh.

• 4:58Tig Notaro?

  And so do you lift?

• 5:00Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I have like a thing that has like the bar, the pull down.

• 5:03Tig Notaro?

  Okay. How long have you been lifting?

• 5:06Fortune Feimster?

  Um, I mean, I need to be doing it more. I, I, I try to do it like once or twice a week. I should be doing it like every other day. Um, and it's like one of those stations where you has the pull down bar, it has the, the lateral thing. And then the one that goes up like this. And then the one that goes out like this. It's like six different things in one machine.

• 5:26Tig Notaro?

  Is it a Bowflex?

• 5:28Fortune Feimster?

  It's not a Bowflex, but that's, you know, it's actual weights and stuff.

• 5:32Tig Notaro?

  It's now, but I guess my question is, when did you start doing that? Years ago?

• 5:37Fortune Feimster?

  No, like, uh, two years ago.

• 5:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay. Two years ago.

• 5:42Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. But I've been, because I've been treading more, I then get lazy and don't go in there. I should, oh, I should be adding it to the treading. And then I would be treading and shredding.

• 5:54Tig Notaro?

  Treading and shredding. My goodness, that is your new gym. Is it not treading and shredding?

• 6:02Fortune Feimster?

  Treading and shredding.

• 6:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 6:04Fortune Feimster?

  Um, but you know, for me, I have to start working on my belly. That's what I gotta target next. That's where my fat goes. So.

• 6:14Tig Notaro?

  And what are you trying to do with your body ultimately and your health?

• 6:18Fortune Feimster?

  I don't have any particular goal other than not being as chunky as I've let myself get.

• 6:27Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 6:28Fortune Feimster?

  Just trying to be a hell. I don't have, maybe that's part of the problem is I don't have a specific goal.

• 6:33Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 6:33Fortune Feimster?

  But it's just trying to, I put on a ton of weight, not, um, not the tour I'm on, but the previous one.

• 6:42Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 6:42Fortune Feimster?

  And when I look at pictures, I just can't believe how big I got. Um, I'm just trying not to do that again.

• 6:48Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh. Got it.

• 6:50Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 6:51Tig Notaro?

  I've, I've reached a point where, um, like I'm somebody that is not, I'm not terribly into a really cut look.

• 7:02Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 7:02Tig Notaro?

  But I was walking down the street in LA and I saw actually a guy that had a body that wasn't, he looked like he actually did things that made his body that.

• 7:18Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 7:18Tig Notaro?

  You know what I mean?

• 7:19Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 7:19Tig Notaro?

  He didn't look like he had just full on gym body.

• 7:22Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 7:23Tig Notaro?

  He looked like somebody that was, I don't know what he was doing, but I was like, God, that is, I really like that look.

• 7:30Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 7:31Tig Notaro?

  Of, and, and it's like a subtle difference, but, um, I think that's, I'm only do, I'm only working out a couple of times a week. So it's not like I'm going to be some shredded beast anytime soon or ever really.

• 7:45Fortune Feimster?

  Well, you do, you do all the hard work in the diet area, which is huge.

• 7:51Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 7:52Fortune Feimster?

  Uh, that is something I need to reel in for sure. All I've been doing better is eating a lot less. But I now need to start making better choices.

• 8:04Tig Notaro?

  Well, I can't wait to make that smoothie with you and I'm very curious if you'll like it. Stephanie loves it. I make it for us every morning and it is her favorite thing in the world, as is mine, aside from my other favorite things in the world. But anyway, it's just an interesting thing to, you know, it's that thing of like, I was younger, I took it for granted. And then now I'm like, oh, I'm 54, I better get a trainer. I gotta like work on my, my strength and I gotta help my bones and I, and it's like, man, I'm like sliding in there in the last moment because I really am.

• 8:43Fortune Feimster?

  This is a great time to start.

• 8:45Tig Notaro?

  Sure, anytime's a great time to start, but I should have started, like you said, when I was 40, if not sooner. But I was like, I'm not working out. I'm not, I would just do things like hike or, you know, swim or do some cycling, but I wasn't.

• 9:00Fortune Feimster?

  That's more than most people do.

• 9:01Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, for sure. But I can feel it. I like feeling sore, but I don't like the, I can't move the next day vibe.

• 9:10Fortune Feimster?

  Right.

• 9:11Tig Notaro?

  So you might notice a little more muscle on me.

• 9:16Fortune Feimster?

  You're gonna notice you're lifting weights and you're a lot stronger. Tig, you're doing a good job lifting those weights and then not being a little girly girl.

• 9:27Tig Notaro?

  I am such a girly girl. Should we hear what questions are waiting for our little ears to hear?

• 9:35Fortune Feimster?

  Please.

• 9:37Speaker 05

  Hello, May, Tig and Fortune. This is Tracy from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

• 9:42Tig Notaro?

  Edmonton.

• 9:43Speaker 05

  And I love, love, love the show and have listened to every episode since the beginning.

• 9:49Tig Notaro?

  Wow.

• 9:50Speaker 05

  My question for you is, if you could join any band, present or past, what band would that be?

• 10:01Fortune Feimster?

  I'm sure you have a quick answer to that one.

• 10:03Tig Notaro?

  I don't, God, because my brain is jumping around like, yeah, I'm a big.

• 10:10Tig Notaro?

  Pretenders fan, but I would not want to be in the band. I feel like there's only room enough for Chrissy Hynde, you know? Yeah, right, right. She didn't have the vibe of like, you know, the band Thirty Eight Special? No. They're a southern rock band. They have two drummers. Yeah. That's very generous to have two drummers.

• 10:34Tig Notaro?

  You don't really need two drummers, I don't think. But like, yeah, it doesn't feel like. They're like Carl needs health insurance.

• 10:45Tig Notaro?

  But yeah, I just don't think there'd be any room for, um, for me with Chrissy Hynde. When I saw Paul Simon and Edie Raquel joined him. On stage. Yeah. Singing, I was like, God, their voices are so insane. Insane. I saw them when we were in Austin for our live show. Yeah. And, um, I don't know, anytime I insert myself into these fantasies, I'm like, well, I just ruined everything because I can't, I can't sing. So it's like Paul and Edie are singing. Well, I'm very basic. You'd be a third drummer. I know, I could, I could be the third drummer of Thirty Eight Special.

• 11:31Tig Notaro?

  Actually, my cousin, um, was like a promoter in Mississippi and he would bring bands in. And, um, I was living down there for like a summer when I was like 21 or something. And, and he gave me a job going to pick up bands from the hotel to take him to the venue. Oh, nice. And I picked up Thirty Eight Special. Oh, okay. But they're like these, you know, big old bearded southern guys. Yeah. So nice. But I was driving them, got lost in the backwoods of Mississippi. Oh, no. With Thirty Eight Special in the car. Yeah. And then you know, before a concert, how a local radio station will like.

• 12:15Tig Notaro?

  Play the band's music to get you pumped for the concert?

• 12:20Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 12:20Tig Notaro?

  I was driving around and 38 Special's music was coming on the radio while we're lost in the backwoods of Mississippi. And I was like, I just awkwardly turned to them. I was like, do you want me to turn this up or down?

• 12:34Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, down.

• 12:37Tig Notaro?

  I, I, it was very, it was, it's a fun little moment in my life.

• 12:42Fortune Feimster?

  Really funny.

• 12:43Tig Notaro?

  Anyway, what band would you be in? I need to think more because you know who I'd be in a band with is Emily Salyers.

• 12:50Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, yeah.

• 12:51Tig Notaro?

  Because I have performed with her on stage twice. One time in my Netflix special.

• 12:57Fortune Feimster?

  Yep.

• 12:57Tig Notaro?

  I played drums. And then one time I sang Closer to Fine with her on stage.

• 13:03Fortune Feimster?

  So you would kick Amy, Amy out. Amy Ray.

• 13:08Tig Notaro?

  Well, no, Amy is more than welcome to join. I'm just saying Emily has been, um, I've had two experience, I've only had one experience with Amy. I've had two experiences. Well, yeah, I guess I'll just join the Indigo Girls, actually. Yeah. Cause I was just, it's the most recent thought I had was like, when I played drums with the Indigo Girls, that was fun. And I remember Emily just being like, ah, who cares? Do your best. And then when I had to sing Closer to Fine and Ojai on stage.

• 13:39Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 13:40Tig Notaro?

  I was like, oh gosh, I'm going to ruin this. And she was like, you're not going to ruin it. Like she wanted me to take a solo essentially, like she was way chill and that's all I need.

• 13:50Fortune Feimster?

  So her.

• 13:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 13:51Fortune Feimster?

  She's like the most positive person.

• 13:54Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. So, um, I guess I'll just join the Indigo Girls as long as Amy's cool with it.

• 13:59Fortune Feimster?

  I think Amy would be fine. She listens to the handsome pod. She told me.

• 14:03Tig Notaro?

  Oh my God, this all sounds familiar because I forgot that Stephanie and I sold a pilot for a multicam.

• 14:11Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 14:11Tig Notaro?

  And my character.

• 14:15Fortune Feimster?

  Join the Indigo Girls.

• 14:16Tig Notaro?

  Oh my God. My character, this is so funny. My character was delusional. Like, I was totally a normal person, but I had blown up in my mind that I missed my big break.

• 14:34Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 14:34Tig Notaro?

  Because I was supposed to be the drummer of the Indigo Girls.

• 14:38Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 14:39Tig Notaro?

  But it, like, if you dig, remember Thomas, when we were working on that script? What was it? Like, if you dig a little deeper, you find out that, what happened? Like, I wasn't ever in the Indigo Girls. They, I was never, I don't like them.

• 14:52Speaker 06

  You had, like, convinced yourself because you went to high school with them or something.

• 14:57Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah. And then I told everyone, like, yeah, I was supposed to be the drummer of the Indigo Girls, but now I'm not. Now this is my life.

• 15:12Tig Notaro?

  Kind of like the drummer Pete Best for the Beatles. He was the original Beatles drummer.

• 15:16Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, wow.

• 15:18Tig Notaro?

  Boy, did he miss some cash.

• 15:19Fortune Feimster?

  He missed out big time.

• 15:22Tig Notaro?

  But, you know, we got Ringo. Yeah, I'm gonna join the Indigo Girls.

• 15:25Fortune Feimster?

  Okay, that's a good one.

• 15:27Tig Notaro?

  Thank you.

• 15:28Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, I'm going based on my personal experience as well.

• 15:31Tig Notaro?

  I know what it is.

• 15:33Fortune Feimster?

  I write, it's pretty obvious. The chicks.

• 15:37Tig Notaro?

  Got to.

• 15:38Fortune Feimster?

  I got to. I mean, they don't need me.

• 15:40Tig Notaro?

  Yes, they do, Fortune. You kidding me?

• 15:45Fortune Feimster?

  But performing with them in Nashville was one of the greatest nights of my life.

• 15:50Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 15:52Fortune Feimster?

  Their songs are so fun.

• 15:53Tig Notaro?

  I hope Alanis isn't listening.

• 15:55Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I'll join Alanis too, but she really, she doesn't need me either.

• 16:01Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, but the chicks need you.

• 16:03Fortune Feimster?

  The chicks is easier to join because they're already a multiple-person band. And adding another person doesn't-

• 16:09Tig Notaro?

  And you're southern, you know?

• 16:11Fortune Feimster?

  I know all their songs.

• 16:13Tig Notaro?

  Alanis would be like, I feel like people that- Kind of love the chicks from listening on the radio, but maybe they're not diehard fans that know what everyone looks like.

• 16:24Fortune Feimster?

  Mm hmm.

• 16:25Tig Notaro?

  You could just be on the stage and know.

• 16:27Fortune Feimster?

  Blend in.

• 16:27Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, but like if Alanis started touring and people were like, who is that?

• 16:32Fortune Feimster?

  That would be more jarring.

• 16:33Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 16:34Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 16:35Tig Notaro?

  So the chicks need you.

• 16:36Fortune Feimster?

  Is such a specific sound.

• 16:38Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 16:39Fortune Feimster?

  Natalie would still be the singer. I could just join in the harmonies with the gals, with Marty and Emily.

• 16:44Tig Notaro?

  But I don't think anyone would notice that like you weren't.

• 16:47Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 16:48Tig Notaro?

  That you're a new addition.

• 16:50Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, and we would have like a sexy photo shoot together.

• 16:54Tig Notaro?

  Of course, like short shorts and cowboy boots.

• 17:00Fortune Feimster?

  I love that we both went short shorts.

• 17:03Tig Notaro?

  Well, we gotta see those gams, girl. You can't hold, we can't withhold the gams.

• 17:12Fortune Feimster?

  Well, they might go, when they go back on tour again, I might try to wiggle my way into another song. Don't you worry.

• 17:18Tig Notaro?

  Oh, of course. And then also, you and I need to join Little Big Town, the two of us.

• 17:26Fortune Feimster?

  That's right.

• 17:27Tig Notaro?

  Since we both know them. I mean, well, you know Amy and Emily too. I've.

• 17:31Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 17:31Tig Notaro?

  I've met the chicks, but long ago.

• 17:34Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 17:34Tig Notaro?

  Well, cool. We've got.

• 17:35Fortune Feimster?

  I love this.

• 17:36Tig Notaro?

  We've got quite a touring life coming up.

• 17:39Fortune Feimster?

  A big future ahead of us.

• 17:42Tig Notaro?

  What's your Tracy's answer?

• 17:44Speaker 05

  I'm thinking if I could join any band, it might be The Mamas and the Papas.

• 17:51Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yeah.

• 17:52Speaker 05

  For a very weird reason.

• 17:54Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 17:55Speaker 05

  Their vocals, their harmonies, their music was so beautiful and the era they lived in was so interesting, even though on the flip side, their personal lives were complete gong shows.

• 18:09Tig Notaro?

  Hmm.

• 18:11Speaker 05

  Maybe not the best band to join, but that's what I think I'd do. Thanks. Keep up the great work.

• 18:17Tig Notaro?

  So wait, is Tracy saying? Is Tracy saying she wants to join because there was a lot going on?

• 18:26Fortune Feimster?

  Because they were such a cool, had such a cool sound and it was a cool era, but you know, obviously that the band had some.

• 18:32Tig Notaro?

  Oh, I thought she said she wanted to join for a weird reason.

• 18:35Fortune Feimster?

  Uh.

• 18:37Tig Notaro?

  I don't know.

• 18:38Fortune Feimster?

  I don't know.

• 18:38Tig Notaro?

  You know me, I'm in and out.

• 18:39Fortune Feimster?

  But I love the mamas and the papas. All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.

• 18:46Tig Notaro?

  You just said you love them and then you like hesitated on the first few words.

• 18:49Fortune Feimster?

  I've been for a walk on a winter's day.

• 18:54Tig Notaro?

  I love the line.

• 18:56Fortune Feimster?

  I'd be sleeping warm. And I began to pray.

• 19:02Tig Notaro?

  Well, I got down on my knees. Oh, that's what it is. Got it. Or I pretend to pray.

• 19:08Fortune Feimster?

  I hesitated on the first line because if you remember with my Alanis experience, from what we told you, I second guessed myself on the lyrics.

• 19:17Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 19:18Fortune Feimster?

  So I was like in my head, is that the right one? And it was.

• 19:21Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I got their lyrics jumbled up just now because it's stopped into, I love the way they say stopped into a church.

• 19:29Fortune Feimster?

  Uh huh.

• 19:30Tig Notaro?

  Love that. Stopped into a church. We were just listening to that this morning.

• 19:34Fortune Feimster?

  It's a great tune.

• 19:35Tig Notaro?

  It is.

• 19:36Fortune Feimster?

  All right, Tracy. Well, good question and good answer.

• 19:39Tig Notaro?

  And good luck.

• 19:40Fortune Feimster?

  Good luck.

• 19:41Tig Notaro?

  Good luck, Tracy. Uh, what else you got, Mr. Thomas?

• 19:45Speaker 07

  Hello, handsoms. I am a pretty little lady from North Carolina. My name is Sarah. My question is, do you have a favorite word? And I don't mean a word that you use frequently. I mean, just a word that you love the sound of it or what it means.

• 20:03Tig Notaro?

  I do.

• 20:05Speaker 07

  A word, not that you necessarily use often, but it's just your absolute favorite.

• 20:09Tig Notaro?

  Sarah, I hear you. I got it. And my word is telepathy.

• 20:14Fortune Feimster?

  Oh.

• 20:16Tig Notaro?

  I love saying that word.

• 20:18Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 20:19Tig Notaro?

  Telepathy.

• 20:20Fortune Feimster?

  Telepathy. That's a good one.

• 20:22Tig Notaro?

  There was a song in the eighties. I can't remember the singer, but the guy, he sings, "I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy now, baby." Thomas, will you Google that line and tell me who that was? That's a good song.

• 20:37Fortune Feimster?

  That makes me think, this is a different word.

• 20:39Speaker 06

  Greg Abbott.

• 20:40Tig Notaro?

  Greg Abbott? That's the governor of Texas. His name was Greg. What is the name of this song?

• 20:47Speaker 06

  Gregory Abbott.

• 20:48Fortune Feimster?

  He sings that song, the governor of Texas.

• 20:51Tig Notaro?

  What is the name of that song?

• 20:55Fortune Feimster?

  Telepathy.

• 20:56Speaker 06

  Shake You Down.

• 20:57Tig Notaro?

  Okay, yeah.

• 20:58Fortune Feimster?

  I like the word, the biblical word Thessalonians.

• 21:03Tig Notaro?

  Here we go. What is it?

• 21:05Fortune Feimster?

  Thessalonians.

• 21:06Tig Notaro?

  Thessalonians.

• 21:07Fortune Feimster?

  That's an interesting, that, tell, tell, tell, why can't I say it now?

• 21:13Tig Notaro?

  Telepathy.

• 21:14Fortune Feimster?

  Telepathy made me think of that. My favorite word, we all know, cannot be denied, the power of this word, cooter is my favorite.

• 21:24Fortune Feimster?

  My favorite word. It will always be my favorite word. Cooter, cooter, cooter. It also stands for a turtle. So I could just be talking about turtles all the time. We don't know.

• 21:35Tig Notaro?

  Wait, a cooter is a turtle?

• 21:36Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 21:37Tig Notaro?

  Okay.

• 21:38Fortune Feimster?

  And other things. And if you're asking me for my favorite Spanish word, mariposa.

• 21:46Tig Notaro?

  Oh, is that, that's a butterfly.

• 21:48Fortune Feimster?

  It sure is.

• 21:49Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 21:50Fortune Feimster?

  Mariposa. There's dos words for you.

• 21:53Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my goodness.

• 21:56Fortune Feimster?

  It's a bilingual episode.

• 21:59Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh. Fortune, I'm deep in the woods here, trying to translate what you're talking about.

• 22:09Fortune Feimster?

  Let's hear Sarah's word.

• 22:10Tig Notaro?

  Let's hear it.

• 22:11Speaker 07

  My answer is Sasquatch Pedalian.

• 22:14Tig Notaro?

  What?

• 22:15Speaker 07

  Which means, a person who uses really long words. Thanks, guys. Can't wait to hear your answer. Love you.

• 22:21Fortune Feimster?

  Classic Sarah.

• 22:23Tig Notaro?

  Classic Sarah.

• 22:24Fortune Feimster?

  She looked that one up.

• 22:25Tig Notaro?

  Oh, boy.

• 22:27Fortune Feimster?

  And studied it.

• 22:28Tig Notaro?

  But to be fair, May probably would have chosen that word.

• 22:30Fortune Feimster?

  May would have had some kind of, mhm, long word.

• 22:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Not cooter.

• 22:37Fortune Feimster?

  Not cooter.

• 22:40Fortune Feimster?

  I gave you a biblical one, a ridiculous one, and a Spanish one. That's well versed.

• 22:47Tig Notaro?

  Well, I gave you telepathy.

• 22:50Fortune Feimster?

  That's amazing.

• 22:51Tig Notaro?

  Say the word.

• 22:52Fortune Feimster?

  Tele- telepathy.

• 22:56Tig Notaro?

  There we are.

• 22:57Fortune Feimster?

  Just takes my brain a second.

• 22:59Tig Notaro?

  Well, let's move on into where we're gonna be and what we're doing. Fortune, I'm gonna tell you that I'm gonna be at the West Hampton Beach Performing Arts Center in West Hampton Beach, New York, August 17th.

• 23:38Fortune Feimster?

  Boom.

  Go to tignotaro.com to see where I'm gonna be working out new stuff. Toronto, I'm heading to you soon enough, and I will be at the Comedy Bar, but I don't know when yet. Check tignotaro.com. Fortune, what is going on with you?
