  Pretty little episode.

• 1:49Tig Notaro?

  Gets me every time.

• 1:53Tig Notaro?

  Hello, May.

• 1:55Mae Martin?

  Hello, Tig. How are you, more importantly?

• 1:57Tig Notaro?

  I'm doing, I'm doing well. I have a question for you.

• 2:01Mae Martin?

  Oh, boy. Here we go. What is it?

• 2:04Tig Notaro?

  Do you have makeup on?

• 2:06Mae Martin?

  You know I do. You know I do. This is so strange. Like, I, first of all, I knew it was just you and me today, so I had to make an effort.

• 2:16Tig Notaro?

  Hello.

• 2:16Mae Martin?

  I woke up, no, I like, I normally put on like, I have like a sunscreen that's tinted, but today I, I went the whole hog. I mean, like,

• 2:25Tig Notaro?

  Why did you go whole hog makeup? Aside from me?

• 2:29Mae Martin?

  I don't, you know what it is, if I'm being honest?

• 2:32Tig Notaro?

  Please.

• 2:33Mae Martin?

  Okay, if I'm being totally honest.

• 2:34Tig Notaro?

  I would love that.

• 2:36Mae Martin?

  Which I try to be with you.

• 2:38Tig Notaro?

  Please.

• 2:39Mae Martin?

  Clip was post, like a handsome clip was posted. And I just thought, I gotta step it up. This is, I was wearing a baseball hat. I'd been, I looked like I hadn't slept in weeks. It was like from when I was in Toronto and I thought, these are, if these are gonna live on the internet. So today I did tinted, I put my eyebrow stuff in. I put bronzer on.

• 2:59Tig Notaro?

  What is eyebrow stuff? Please, tell the person who does not.

• 3:06Mae Martin?

  You need to get into eyebrow stuff.

• 3:08Tig Notaro?

  What are you saying about my eyebrows?

• 3:10Mae Martin?

  Well, your glasses kind of obscure them a little bit, but

• 3:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 3:14Mae Martin?

  You wanna buy a product called Boy Brow. Now, Boy Brow and

• 3:19Tig Notaro?

  Boy Brow.

• 3:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah, and Thomas, I would recommend this as well. It's like, anyone can use it.

• 3:24Tig Notaro?

  For his mustache?

• 3:26Mae Martin?

  Yeah, for his mustache. You just brush it through the eyebrows, you know, and it just sort of

• 3:30Tig Notaro?

  Why is it Boy Brow?

• 3:32Mae Martin?

  Well, it's stupid. Like, you know, when you buy like jeans that are like boyfriend fit, you know? Like, just bad branding. It gives you just a darker brow.

• 3:42Tig Notaro?

  And so Boy Brow would be so that, you know, a gentleman like Thomas would feel comfortable buying that makeup?

• 3:50Mae Martin?

  Yeah, maybe. Yeah.

• 3:53Tig Notaro?

  Or is it for, who is it for? I guess I'm confused.

• 3:57Mae Martin?

  It's a good question. It's either for people who are like, I want my eyebrows to look like a boy's, or for boys who are like, I can buy this because it says boy.

• 4:05Tig Notaro?

  But wait, don't boy brows like have wiry hairs going everywhere? Because if so, I already have that.

• 4:12Mae Martin?

  You're thinking of old man winter brows.

• 4:15Tig Notaro?

  Grandpa brows.

• 4:16Mae Martin?

  You're thinking of grandpa brow, which actually you should start as a product.

• 4:20Tig Notaro?

  I've already started it right above my eyes. I'll tell you what, they are going strong.

• 4:26Mae Martin?

  You're not wearing a stitch of makeup, but you look handsome as ever.

• 4:30Tig Notaro?

  Hello. I just put, I just washed my face and I put this face cream on and then I just head out and then I never glance at myself again for the rest of the day. And if I ever catch a glimpse, I'm usually a little startled.

• 4:50Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 4:50Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yes.

• 4:52Mae Martin?

  Because in your, like in your mind, there's someone else that's going to look different. And then you catch a glimpse and you're like, oh, right.

• 4:58Tig Notaro?

  Well, I'm not even thinking about it. And then I'll like catch a glimpse of myself and I'm like, oh, my God, what am I, I am, I'm the parent of two children. I'm 53. How is it that I'm wandering around the world looking like this? So I gotta get myself boy brow.

• 5:15Mae Martin?

  You gotta get boy brow.

• 5:17Tig Notaro?

  I don't think that's the only issue I have. I need boy teeth. I need, my teeth are a mix between yellow and blue.

• 5:28Mae Martin?

  I have been watching, over the past week, my life has pretty much been, I've got really into like painting pictures and watching 90s Tom Cruise movies. So I have thought of you a bit because you're Ted Cruz. But I've watched Vanilla Sky. I watched Eyes Wide Shut. I watched Magnolia. I'm going to be moving into, I gotta re-watch Jerry Maguire, one of my faves.

• 5:54Tig Notaro?

  Risky Business?

• 5:55Mae Martin?

  Risky Business, Cocktail. Like, I want to do it all.

• 5:57Tig Notaro?

  Wait, wait, wait. I know I've talked about my old roommate, Chris Fairbanks, before.

• 6:01Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 6:02Tig Notaro?

  Have you? I'm about to introduce you to your new favorite thing. And everybody listening is about to find out about their new favorite thing. Oh, my God, it kills me even thinking about. He. Put himself into like a 30 minute version of the Cocktail Movie?

• 6:24Mae Martin?

  No.

• 6:24Tig Notaro?

  And, oh, May. Thomas, have I sent it to you before?

• 6:29Speaker 04

  No.

• 6:30Tig Notaro?

  You haven't seen it? It is so incredible, so hilarious. He's behind the bar shaking drinks with Tom Cruise. He's like out on the street, hanging out with everybody, talking. It is the greatest thing. So look up Chris Fairbanks and Cocktail.

• 6:50Mae Martin?

  That's genius.

• 6:51Tig Notaro?

  You will, it will destroy you, especially if, and if you don't know Chris, look up his stand up and kind of get to know him and then watch Chris Fairbanks and Cocktail.

• 7:02Mae Martin?

  Okay, I will. Okay, I just, we just started following each other on Instagram, so I'm gonna.

• 7:08Tig Notaro?

  Oh, nice.

• 7:08Speaker 04

  It's called Cocktails and Dreams. I just Googled it.

• 7:11Mae Martin?

  That's ridiculous.

• 7:13Tig Notaro?

  It's so good. It's, how long is it, Thomas? How long is it run?

• 7:17Speaker 04

  It's 11 minutes.

• 7:19Tig Notaro?

  Oh, see, I thought it was 30. It was 11 minutes.

• 7:21Mae Martin?

  I love that, like, most people would do like a, you know, a 20 second viral clip. I love that he did a full 11 minutes of the movie with him.

• 7:29Tig Notaro?

  Well, this is years ago. He, he made this, I would guess it's been like 13 years or something. Does it have a date, Thomas?

• 7:38Mae Martin?

  So he's using rudimentary technology.

• 7:40Speaker 04

  Well, this is 2020, but that might have not been when it was made.

• 7:44Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, for sure. Oh, okay. Yeah, everyone go to it. Check the view numbers and let's see if our listeners actually go.

• 7:52Speaker 04

  It has 803 views right now.

• 7:54Tig Notaro?

  Okay, let's, let's crank that. Yeah, let's, let's more than double that. Send it to friends. Let's, let's make this go viral.

• 8:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah, also you could just have it playing in the background of your day on loop. Like you'd, yeah, yeah, get those numbers up.

• 8:08Tig Notaro?

  Now, my question for you is, what version of Tom Cruise is most like me?

• 8:14Mae Martin?

  Oh, God, that's, that's really good. Okay. The thing that first comes to mind is the movie Collateral, where he plays a bad guy with, I believe-

• 8:24Tig Notaro?

  Is there a plane?

• 8:25Mae Martin?

  No, it's, um, he's in a taxi the whole time. So Collateral, he's a bad guy in it, but just like aesthetically, he's got shorter hair in that one, because a lot of the ones I'm watching, he's got floppy, long hair.

• 8:37Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I've had floppy ears.

• 8:39Mae Martin?

  Have you really?

• 8:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I've had floppy ears.

• 8:42Mae Martin?

  So I was-

• 8:43Tig Notaro?

  Not ears, but years.

• 8:44Mae Martin?

  Just to clarify, you've never had floppy ears, right?

• 8:48Tig Notaro?

  I have never, I mean, people have told me I have big ears before. Yeah, um, but I don't know that they're floppy. And I don't even know that they're big, you know?

• 8:58Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God, if you had floppy ears, I'd be obsessed with you.

• 9:02Tig Notaro?

  More so than, what else would you apply to your face if I had floppy ears?

• 9:07Mae Martin?

  Oh, you wouldn't even recognize me. You wouldn't, I'd be full lipstick.

• 9:11Tig Notaro?

  Hello.

• 9:12Mae Martin?

  So I was watching Vanilla Sky, which is Cameron Crowe and, and it's really good. And then I guess I watched it with my friend who's staying with me. And I don't, I don't smoke weed, but my friend does. So he got really stoned and he's, he's really loving the movie. It's really, it's really blown his mind. And I'm kind of, you know, bringing him snacks. And, and then the movie ends and I start singing. I guess I remembered that Paul McCartney theme song for Vanilla Sky, which I don't know if he wrote it for the movie, but it's, I start singing it. And I sing it like Paul McCartney and I go, "The chef prepares a special menu for your delight. Oh, right." And my friend just doesn't know, it doesn't make the connection of what I'm singing or that it's connected to the movie at all.

• 9:56Mae Martin?

  He doesn't, and he, he doesn't know that I'm doing a Paul McCartney voice. And for some reason, it really spun him out. He was like, "What are you doing, man?" He thought I was just in the kitchen going, "The chef prepares a special menu for your delight."

• 10:07Tig Notaro?

  Oh, drugs.

• 10:09Mae Martin?

  He's like, "Is that your singing voice?"

• 10:12Mae Martin?

  Anyway.

• 10:13Tig Notaro?

  That's so funny. Well, I don't know how to transition from your singing voice to, um, shall we get our first question?

• 10:23Mae Martin?

  We must.

• 10:23Tig Notaro?

  I'm really bad at transitions and segues.

• 10:26Mae Martin?

  Me too.

• 10:27Tig Notaro?

  But yeah, let's, um, let's get our first question.

• 10:31Speaker 02

  Oh, hey, Handsoms. This is Helen from Columbus, Georgia. And I'm so excited to be asking you a question today. So I am a single mom and divorced for about two years, got a cute little boy, and I'm ready to start dating again. So my question is actually really for May, but everybody can answer it. May, you always ask such interesting questions on the podcast. And it sounds like you're like a really interesting person to date. And so I want to know, like, when I go on a date, what questions should I ask my other person?

• 11:12Speaker 02

  To keep it interesting, to keep the ideas flowing, to keep the conversation going? I'd love any tips and ideas from any of you guys. Thank you so much.

• 11:21Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 11:21Tig Notaro?

  Wow.

• 11:22Mae Martin?

  Well, thank you for the compliments.

• 11:25Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, huge compliments for you. None for me or Fortune.

• 11:30Mae Martin?

  I know. Listen, I'm sure you're very exciting on a date as well. And also, there's something-

• 11:35Tig Notaro?

  I can guarantee that I'm not.

• 11:38Mae Martin?

  There's something a little, um, like, yeah, I'm asking a lot of questions on dates, but am I ever sort of present and relaxed and enjoying the date? The jury's out because I'm thinking, what's my next question?

• 11:51Tig Notaro?

  I do think that is key, asking questions, you know, asking about their life and their job, whatever, whatever's, whatever's going on in their world.

• 12:01Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. It's so, it sounds so basic, but it's crazy how many people don't ask questions.

• 12:08Mae Martin?

  Look, I can send this person my list of, of questions. And if they want to do like full rapid fire, you know, but I like like a hypothetical. I like to get deep. There's a, there's like that New York Times article, 10 questions that'll make you fall in love with anyone that you can ask each other. I mean, don't frame it like that. It'll freak them out probably. But yeah.

• 12:30Tig Notaro?

  And is this, is this for, um, if you are on an actual date? Or, um, do you also, like, say you're out with somebody that you really like?

• 12:41Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 12:41Tig Notaro?

  Is it the same?

• 12:43Mae Martin?

  I don't know. I just like, I like questions, but I am worried that like, if you approach it like, oh, I gotta get, make sure that I'm an interesting person on this date, then you're just gonna be performing your personality, you know? Like, you've got, it's, they gotta be questions that you're really interested in and wanna know. But honestly, these days, just go on Instagram and start scrolling. And the headlines that you see, like, that's what you gotta talk about. Like, I saw a headline recently that was like, orcas have begun wearing dead salmon as hats again. And the headline said-

• 13:18Tig Notaro?

  Do you only read the Onion?

• 13:19Mae Martin?

  No, this is a true thing. Orcas are wearing dead salmon as hats again. And then it said, and we may soon know why. How ominous is that? We may soon know why. But anyway-

• 13:31Tig Notaro?

  And we still don't, we don't know?

• 13:33Mae Martin?

  No, they have no idea. It's a trend that they did 37 years ago. These orcas started wearing dead salmon as hats, like a fashion trend. And now they're doing it again for the first time in 37 years.

• 13:44Tig Notaro?

  May.

• 13:45Mae Martin?

  This is true.

• 13:45Tig Notaro?

  I think I'm falling in love with you.

• 13:47Mae Martin?

  See? It works.

• 13:49Tig Notaro?

  It works.

• 13:50Mae Martin?

  It works.

• 13:56Tig Notaro?

  I think if you're naturally interested in somebody-

• 13:59Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 14:00Tig Notaro?

  You, you wanna hear about them. You, you want to know what they're up to, how their day has been, you know, their days, how, what they've been up to.

• 14:10Mae Martin?

  How have the days of your life been so far?

• 14:12Tig Notaro?

  Go through all of your days.

• 14:15Mae Martin?

  Well, don't you think someone-

• 14:16Tig Notaro?

  I don't know.

• 14:17Mae Martin?

  Someone could honestly just go through our podcast and all the questions that our question askers send in are really good date questions.

• 14:25Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 14:26Mae Martin?

  And he could be like, you know, Tom Hanks asked that.

• 14:29Tig Notaro?

  That's, that's true. You could say that. But I think it, yeah, I think it all just boils down to taking an interest in the person you're spending time with. And, and if you really have an interest in them, you're gonna really be interested to get to know them.

• 14:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah. And I'm a big fan of activity dates as well. It is really, it's intense to be sitting across the table, just making solid conversation for two hours. Like, go to, go to an art gallery or an escape room, or, you know, that's my, that's my big tip.

• 15:00Tig Notaro?

  Well, great. Good luck Dayton out there.

• 15:03Mae Martin?

  Good luck Dayton. Did Helen have an answer of her own?

• 15:07Speaker 02

  Okay, here's my answer.

• 15:10Speaker 02

  I don't know. That's why I asked the question.

• 15:14Speaker 02

  Thank you, guys. Love you so much. Bye.

• 15:17Tig Notaro?

  Great answer.

• 15:18Mae Martin?

  That's fair.

• 15:19Tig Notaro?

  Classic Helen.

• 15:20Mae Martin?

  Classic Helen.

• 15:21Tig Notaro?

  Classic Helen.

• 15:22Mae Martin?

  The old bait and switch.

• 15:24Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah. All right. What else we got?

• 15:27Speaker 05

  Hey, Handsoms. This is Allison from Western Kentucky. I'm very excited to see you all perform in Nashville at the Ryman. With it being such a classic venue, my question is, what is your favorite venue either to perform at or to see a performance?

• 15:42Mae Martin?

  Oh, that's great. Tig, I'm curious. You've you've performed all across the country and yeah.

• 15:47Tig Notaro?

  And the world may.

• 15:48Mae Martin?

  And the world.

• 15:49Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 15:50Mae Martin?

  What's your favorite type?

• 15:52Tig Notaro?

  Well, I mean, it can be so fun in so many different types of venues, you know, after you're doing theater tours, it can be fun to just walk into a little tiny club.

• 16:01Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 16:02Tig Notaro?

  And and have that in-your-face energy.

• 16:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 16:05Tig Notaro?

  And then I I don't, you know, when things get too big, I feel like you lose the connection a little bit. And I know people are very, a lot of comedians are very into like getting to stadiums and, you know, doing all that kind of stuff. Maybe it's my style of comedy where I'm like, that sounds like hell.

• 16:30Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 16:30Tig Notaro?

  That sounds like hell. I love I love a theater that's like 500 to like 3,500. Somewhere in there, it it still feels really nice. And I was actually just talking last night about how I did Carnegie Hall.

• 16:48Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah.

• 16:49Tig Notaro?

  The way that theater is built, just the tiers of seating, it feels like, it really feels like laughter is just raining down on your head because

• 17:02Mae Martin?

  That's so nice.

• 17:03Tig Notaro?

  It is unbelievably nice. And I know it seems obvious.

• 17:08Mae Martin?

  Shallow and steep where they're all, everyone's got a good seat.

• 17:12Tig Notaro?

  Everyone's got a good seat. It's not like terribly shallow, but I don't, have you been in Carnegie Hall?

• 17:19Mae Martin?

  I think so.

• 17:21Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I mean, just standing on stage, it's hard to explain. And probably if I walked in there right now, I'd be like, yeah, it's not that shallow. But there was something about it that just felt like the the tears were just on top of me. And it just felt so, and I mean, tears of laughter.

• 17:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 17:40Tig Notaro?

  Of course.

• 17:41Mae Martin?

  You were drenched by the end.

• 17:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah, that sounds, that sounds amazing. That's, I think, my favorite type as well is a small theater that still feels intimate. I love Largo in in L.A., but that's partly because I love the backstage so much. Like, it's, it's like if you were making a movie about a comedy club and you made your dream backstage. It's like all twinkly and pictures of everybody. And, um, but yeah.

• 18:07Tig Notaro?

  It's cozy.

• 18:08Mae Martin?

  So cozy, but, um, I did play in the Sydney Opera House and it was hell because it was like a mixed bill show. And, uh, it was way too big. Yeah, too scary.

• 18:20Tig Notaro?

  How big?

• 18:21Mae Martin?

  It's not even that big.

• 18:22Tig Notaro?

  Five thousand?

• 18:22Mae Martin?

  It's just designed for like incredible sort of orchestral music or something. And it, yeah, and maybe I'm similar. Like, if if my style was like pacing back and forth on the stage, yelling, delivering like really tight punchlines. But I'm a rambler and a gambler, you know?

• 18:41Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 18:42Mae Martin?

  So I'm going Largo, you're going Carnegie Hall, but also, yeah.

• 18:46Tig Notaro?

  But you know, I love Largo, I mean.

• 18:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah, you love Largo, you love Comedy Bar Toronto.

• 18:52Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I mean, I I even love someone's living room. I did a tour in people's living rooms, you know?

• 18:58Mae Martin?

  That was incredible. At the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, there's some really cool venues because they're all kind of stone walls. And there's some kind of like subterranean or like under a bridge, there's some weird damp little room. And I did like four or five summers in a row at this place, City Cafe, that it's all different now. I think they changed it, but it was like underneath a diner. And it was just like really low ceiling, really, and just. Yeah, nice vibe.

• 19:24Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, those are, those are really cool rooms. I also really love, in Colorado, have you been to Red Rocks?

• 19:31Mae Martin?

  No, never.

• 19:32Tig Notaro?

  Have you, you're familiar with it?

• 19:34Mae Martin?

  No.

• 19:35Tig Notaro?

  Oh, you have to look it up. It's just the most beautiful outdoor amphitheater.

• 19:41Mae Martin?

  Writing it down.

• 19:42Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's right outside Denver. Phew, it's real good.

• 19:46Mae Martin?

  It's outdoors? Cause usually I, I don't like playing outdoors.

• 19:50Tig Notaro?

  I've never performed at Red Rocks, but I've gone to see so many concerts there.

• 19:56Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 19:57Tig Notaro?

  Over the years, and it is a natural amphitheater in the mountain.

• 20:03Mae Martin?

  Oh, man.

• 20:04Tig Notaro?

  It is so incredible. You have to look at it.

• 20:07Mae Martin?

  That's incredible.

• 20:08Tig Notaro?

  And then I think, I remember U2 recorded a live concert there.

• 20:12Mae Martin?

  Right.

• 20:13Tig Notaro?

  It's so great. Anyway, that's an interesting question. Yeah.

• 20:17Mae Martin?

  Let's hear what Allison says.

• 20:18Speaker 05

  I don't perform, but I do love attending shows at the Ryman. I have been able to see Brandi Carlile there during her residency in 2020, and also the Leslie Jordan and Friends performance in 21. I also want to point out that the opportunity presents itself for you all to premiere the handsome band at the Ryman. There is no place more iconic for your debut performance as a band. And it's about time for Thomas to cross an item off the list. So I look forward to seeing you all. Thanks.

• 20:47Tig Notaro?

  It's time for Thomas to cross an item off the list.

• 20:51Mae Martin?

  That is crazy when you think about that we've only added items and never crossed.

• 20:57Tig Notaro?

  That does kind of bring you back to reality. Like, yeah, we have done nothing.

• 21:01Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:02Tig Notaro?

  We have done absolutely nothing. And it's interesting that she brought that up because I was just saying to Stephanie the other night, I, I had forgotten about the suggestion of us, I mean, I think it was my suggestion where I was like, I think we should start a band.

• 21:18Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:19Tig Notaro?

  And I brought that up to Stephanie the other night. I was like, God, we, we were talking about doing that and we never did it. And

• 21:26Mae Martin?

  I really want to.

• 21:28Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I know. I don't think we're ever going to though. We all are too many moving parts.

• 21:34Mae Martin?

  Well, what if like, when we go to do the Ryman, we get there like a day early and we just have like an afternoon to see what we come up with?

• 21:43Tig Notaro?

  And we could open for ourselves.

• 21:44Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 21:45Tig Notaro?

  We could do just like three songs.

• 21:47Mae Martin?

  Exactly. I feel like you and me are more into it than Fortune. I think we gotta push Fortune.

• 21:52Tig Notaro?

  I think Fortune, if we cut the music down, Fortune would be strutting all over that stage singing her gospel tunes.

• 22:05Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Well, maybe we need you, me and Thomas secretly get together and practice. Thomas on keys and then we surprise.

• 22:14Tig Notaro?

  You're on guitar, I'm on drums.

• 22:15Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 22:16Tig Notaro?

  And then Fortune just comes in strutting around.

• 22:20Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 22:21Tig Notaro?

  I mean, people would go nuts.

• 22:23Mae Martin?

  I want it.

• 22:24Tig Notaro?

  I mean, and when I say people, I mean, like a handful of our fans would definitely enjoy seeing that.

• 22:31Mae Martin?

  A really specific group of people, yeah.

• 22:35Tig Notaro?

  Okay, all right. Well, maybe we'll work towards scratching that off the list.

• 22:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 22:41Tig Notaro?

  Thank you, Allison and May. This was a fun episode.

• 22:46Mae Martin?

  It really was. Yeah, it's always a pleasure.

• 22:50Tig Notaro?

  Always a pleasure.
