  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.

  And Fortune Feimster on the Handsome Pod. You know it, you love it. You know it and love it. You do, and maybe you don't know it and you don't know if you love it yet, but welcome because you're about to know it and you're about to love it. That's right. Yeah. So welcome. So welcome. Bienvenue.

• 2:24Mae Martin?

  Don't you think that when people, when babies are born, there should be like a song that we all sing to them? Like all the doctors go, welcome, you're here.

• 2:32Tig Notaro?

  What's this happy birthday that count?

• 2:35Mae Martin?

  Well, when you said like.

• 2:36Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Do you sing that to a mother's crotch?

• 2:40Mae Martin?

  To a mother's crotch?

• 2:42Tig Notaro?

  As the baby's being born. Happy birthday.

• 2:48Mae Martin?

  I assume there should be like a welcome song instead of it, you know, all the bright lights and the.

• 2:54Tig Notaro?

  Well, let's hear it. Two, three, and.

• 2:57Mae Martin?

  You just arrived and you're gonna learn. Sometimes it's good and sometimes.

• 3:05Tig Notaro?

  Sometimes it's hard.

• 3:06Mae Martin?

  It's hard. But now you are here and we are so queer.

• 3:15Mae Martin?

  Something that's just like, you know, a nice way in.

• 3:18Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah. And memorable.

• 3:21Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 3:21Tig Notaro?

  You know.

• 3:22Mae Martin?

  Like that one we just.

• 3:23Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, like on your first day on planet Earth, it's, you're gonna always remember them.

• 3:30Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 3:31Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you should have the whole, um, we are the world crew singing to you.

• 3:37Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 3:37Tig Notaro?

  As you arrive planet Earth.

• 3:39Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Bob Dylan just furious to be there. Mumbling. How are you guys?

• 3:47Tig Notaro?

  Good. I just wrapped Star Trek.

• 3:50Mae Martin?

  Oh my God, congrats.

• 3:51Tig Notaro?

  Oh, you did? Yeah. All right.

• 3:54Mae Martin?

  Did you have a rap party?

• 3:56Tig Notaro?

  Um, they're having a rap party. I flew home, uh, cause I have a few days off before I go back on tour and, um, I'm catching up on, you know, sporting events that my kids are, uh, doing and, um, all sorts of, all sorts of fun things. Stephanie and I are going for a very belated Valentine's Day dinner. Oh.

• 4:23Fortune Feimster?

  Tonight?

• 4:25Tig Notaro?

  Tonight.

• 4:26Fortune Feimster?

  Ooh, sexy.

• 4:28Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 4:29Mae Martin?

  Do you think you might have a few sips of her wine? Isn't that, don't you always, she orders wine and then you're like, I'm good.

• 4:36Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I just take a couple of sips.

• 4:40Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 4:41Tig Notaro?

  But, um, no, neither of us have been sipping hooch and it's, it's been, uh,

• 4:47Fortune Feimster?

  Sipping hooch.

• 4:51Mae Martin?

  I'm gonna take, I'm not gonna drink while I'm on tour, I think.

• 4:54Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, really?

• 4:55Mae Martin?

  I don't really, I don't drink a lot anyway, but.

• 4:57Fortune Feimster?

  How was your party last night?

• 4:58Mae Martin?

  Well, I am hungover today.

• 5:03Mae Martin?

  Yeah. I am, and I, I've got a turmeric latte, a black Americano and a ginger tea all going at once.

• 5:12Fortune Feimster?

  Did you go hard last night?

• 5:15Mae Martin?

  You know, not really. I just, I was hosting.

• 5:18Fortune Feimster?

  Hard enough.

• 5:19Mae Martin?

  And I started at 4:00 PM. I invited everyone over, which was, I thought, great, then it'll be done by nine, but of course, people stay.

• 5:28Fortune Feimster?

  Well, we had, we talked about that in one episode, having an end time.

• 5:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I should have put an end time.

• 5:33Tig Notaro?

  Should have put it in. What time did it end?

• 5:36Mae Martin?

  About one or something.

• 5:38Fortune Feimster?

  Okay. That is a long, that's a long hang.

• 5:40Mae Martin?

  It's a long hang.

• 5:41Tig Notaro?

  And, and when you get hungover, what are your symptoms?

• 5:45Mae Martin?

  I feel like I'm in a kind of swampy soup and it depends. If I'm really hungover, then I wake up and I think, oh my God, why didn't I realize the world's ending and everyone hates me? And, but right now I feel okay.

• 6:03Tig Notaro?

  That's your hangover?

• 6:04Mae Martin?

  I get, I get hangxiety. Do you get hangxiety?

• 6:07Tig Notaro?

  Hangxiety?

• 6:08Mae Martin?

  Yeah, hangxiety.

• 6:09Tig Notaro?

  I've never heard of that.

• 6:11Mae Martin?

  It's just the effects of alcohol. You wake up and think, what did I say? Oh, was that weird? Was, you know?

• 6:17Tig Notaro?

  So you don't have a memory of what happened last night?

• 6:20Mae Martin?

  No, I do. I don't have hangxiety today.

• 6:22Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay.

• 6:23Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I feel like it's manageable. I just feel like, uh, I'm, I feel like I'm getting older, you know?

• 6:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you can't throw down like you used to.

• 6:33Mae Martin?

  No, like I could go back to bed happily.

• 6:35Tig Notaro?

  Did you have any bed visitors?

• 6:39Mae Martin?

  You know what? I did not, actually. And there was a moment where it could have gone either way for the night for

• 6:46Fortune Feimster?

  Tell us, girl.

• 6:47Mae Martin?

  For many of us. Girls, let me tell you, I thought to myself, it's either gonna become a games night with the remaining people.

• 6:56Fortune Feimster?

  Right, right.

• 6:57Mae Martin?

  Or it's gonna veer into sexy territory. Bad visitor territory.

• 7:02Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, wow. How do you, and, and what, what do you think sets it in one direction or the other? Good question, Fortune.

• 7:09Tig Notaro?

  Thank you, Tig.

• 7:10Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 7:11Mae Martin?

  I think it's a choice. I was like, I, I, no, I was like, I want to play games.

• 7:16Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, you, you get to make the decision.

• 7:21Fortune Feimster?

  It's either, we're either having game night or gay night. Which one?

• 7:27Tig Notaro?

  So you got all these broads pawing at you.

• 7:29Mae Martin?

  No, not at all.

• 7:30Tig Notaro?

  And you're like, you know what?

• 7:32Mae Martin?

  You know, I got.

• 7:32Tig Notaro?

  Let's take out the monopoly board and.

• 7:36Mae Martin?

  No, it's more like my, my buddies are, are around, mixed in with everyone. And

• 7:42Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 7:42Mae Martin?

  If it was gonna become a sexy evening, then I don't really want my close old pals hanging around. And then last night, I thought, really, I want to be playing mafia with everyone.

• 7:53Tig Notaro?

  Do you ever play Parcheesi?

• 7:55Mae Martin?

  Never. What's that?

• 7:56Tig Notaro?

  I don't know. It just came to my head.

• 7:59Mae Martin?

  Parcheesi.

• 8:00Tig Notaro?

  I don't play.

• 8:00Fortune Feimster?

  I've heard of it, but I don't know how it goes either.

• 8:03Tig Notaro?

  I was on a flight. That's why I couldn't go to your party. I was on a, I was flying into Los Angeles after wrapping Star Trek, you know?

• 8:11Mae Martin?

  From Toronto?

• 8:12Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh. And well, that's where we filmed, you know this.

• 8:15Mae Martin?

  What a useless comment to throw in.

• 8:18Tig Notaro?

  I filmed from Beijing. We've, we filmed the last few days of Star Trek in Beijing. Yeah. So you were already, you had tied a few on by the time I was landing.

• 8:32Mae Martin?

  Tied a few on is drinking?

• 8:34Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 8:35Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I had tied a few on. And I was playing a lot of foosball. But I'd say, I threw out my neck playing foosball, which is so embarrassing.

• 8:43Tig Notaro?

  What a night. Meanwhile, I was just having my little tofu meal as I'm like pulling into Los Angeles.

• 8:49Fortune Feimster?

  Do you, do you think pulling your neck also contributed to doing game night versus gay night?

• 8:57Mae Martin?

  I think it's, it made me feel very fragile. I actually threw it out a couple of days ago, playing foosball.

• 9:02Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, and an orgy would not help.

• 9:06Fortune Feimster?

  The doctor is not going to prescribe that.

• 9:09Mae Martin?

  You know what?

• 9:11Fortune Feimster?

  I couldn't go to your party because I went to the LAFC soccer open opening match.

• 9:19Mae Martin?

  Is that the women's one?

• 9:20Fortune Feimster?

  Buddy Will Ferrell.

• 9:22Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. Tell me. How was it?

• 9:24Fortune Feimster?

  It was so fun. It was their season opener. So they did it at USC. It was like 75,000 people were there.

• 9:31Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 9:32Fortune Feimster?

  And it was it was great.

• 9:33Tig Notaro?

  Is that a larger number than it normally is?

• 9:36Fortune Feimster?

  Or is that? Normally, it's at their regular stadium, which is, I think, more like 25,000.

• 9:43Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 9:43Fortune Feimster?

  So this was like a big like thing to to kick it off the season.

• 9:48Mae Martin?

  That's so fun. And I remember when we were on set and we were playing robbers with these like stockings over our faces, squishing our faces. And you were saying to Will, kind of jokingly, like, why? Why don't you ever let me sit with you at soccer games and invite me to these games? And he was like, I'll let you, but you have to wear that stocking on your face through the whole thing. So did you?

• 10:13Fortune Feimster?

  No, he has actually invited me to quite a few games now. And that was the first one I was able to go with him to. He's invited me to Lakers and Kings. And I love sporting events. So I told him, you know, please keep asking me because I love it. And he's a huge sports person. So yeah, I was glad we got to do that, to finally get to do that.

• 10:39Mae Martin?

  That's really fun.

• 10:39Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, but I yeah, otherwise I would have been at your party. And who knows if it could have gone the other direction?

• 10:47Mae Martin?

  If you'd been there, it would have.

• 10:50Fortune Feimster?

  No, no, I would have.

• 10:52Tig Notaro?

  Fortune, Marie.

• 10:53Fortune Feimster?

  I could. I told you I can't do that. This is a lights off body. This is not a orgy body.

• 10:59Tig Notaro?

  Whether it's lights off or on, you'd be willing to hook up with the little cowboy?

• 11:05Fortune Feimster?

  No, I can't hook up with a little cowboy. We're like family.

• 11:09Mae Martin?

  We'd be like bros fist bumping in the middle of it. We'd be like checking in with each other. You having fun, bud? Yeah, great.

• 11:16Fortune Feimster?

  I could never do any of that. I'm too square. Did you say Bud or bub? Like,

• 11:22Mae Martin?

  Bud.

• 11:24Fortune Feimster?

  Hey bub.

• 11:25Mae Martin?

  Hey bub.

• 11:25Fortune Feimster?

  Hey bub bub bub.

• 11:26Mae Martin?

  No, it was a very nerdy, fun party. It was like games.

• 11:29Fortune Feimster?

  I love that.

• 11:30Mae Martin?

  Yeah, it was really good. I'm going away. I'm not going to see everyone for so long. So, uh, yeah, I'm getting anxious about it, about the tour.

• 11:38Fortune Feimster?

  My way.

• 11:41Mae Martin?

  All my bags are packed. I always think about you.

• 11:45Fortune Feimster?

  Singing in the breezeway at college. Yeah. So kiss me and smile for me. Tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go. I mean, cuz I'm leaving. Leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again. I mean, who wouldn't want to hear that in a breezeway?

• 12:13Mae Martin?

  You know what I would do with you at a party, Fortune, if you were up for it?

• 12:17Fortune Feimster?

  What?

• 12:18Mae Martin?

  But I did last night and it was my favorite part of the party was Lisa Gilroy always, I'd become like a 12 year old and we're like 12 year old siblings, kind of. That's the vibe. And halfway through the party, we were talking about Hanson and she was like, oh my God, can we go into your office and close the door? And you play Hanson, m-bop, and we harmonize in our best voices? And we weren't even laughing. We went into my office and we sang Hanson with like beautiful harmonies. And it was like, we had to get it.

• 12:48Fortune Feimster?

  At the party?

• 12:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah. And it was just a moment of like, m-bop, duh, bud. We weren't even laughing. We're like, thanks for that. Yeah.

• 12:58Fortune Feimster?

  Are you gonna release it on Spotify?

• 13:00Mae Martin?

  Oh, I'd love to. I'd love to.

• 13:03Fortune Feimster?

  Guys, do you know what I just realized is today is St. Patty's Day. Oh. My God. You know, I love St. Patty's Day. Yes, it is St. Patty's Day. And also, I'm also, I'm just remembering because today is Tuesday, two days ago.

• 13:21Tig Notaro?

  Was the Oscars.

• 13:22Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God. Oh, my God. So people are gonna be tuning in.

• 13:26Fortune Feimster?

  Well, we are taping this right before, so we don't know yet.

• 13:29Tig Notaro?

  We, that's what I'm bringing up.

• 13:31Fortune Feimster?

  As of this recording, we don't know yet what's happened.

• 13:34Tig Notaro?

  That's what's such a funny vibe is like, I just left the Oscars.

• 13:38Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 13:39Tig Notaro?

  My future self, and I don't know if I've won or lost. The reason I remembered is because I just saw my Oscar certificate.

• 13:50Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah. So you got a certificate?

• 13:52Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 13:52Mae Martin?

  Oh, you got a frame.

• 13:53Fortune Feimster?

  Because you went to like the lun- you get that at the luncheon?

• 13:56Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. How do you know this?

• 13:58Fortune Feimster?

  I was a journalist, my love.

• 14:00Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 14:01Mae Martin?

  Wow, look at that. You know that Harvard scientists are saying that the past, the present, and the future are happening at the same time, and that things that you do in the present can affect both your past and the future. So that means that if we now act like you won, it could affect the future.

• 14:20Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my God, we won!

• 14:22Mae Martin?

  We won, you did.

• 14:23Tig Notaro?

  We won. You won too, May?

• 14:26Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah, we won.

• 14:27Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 14:28Mae Martin?

  No, you did it.

• 14:29Tig Notaro?

  I can't believe we won because we were up against The Perfect Neighbor, which is one of the biggest documentaries with the most streaming views of all time.

• 14:42Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, really?

• 14:43Tig Notaro?

  And we still, yes. That's our competition. The Perfect Neighbor became one of the biggest documentaries of all time.

• 14:52Fortune Feimster?

  I do have a question about the producer stuff.

• 14:55Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 14:55Fortune Feimster?

  There was four names on there, right?

• 14:57Tig Notaro?

  Mm-hmm.

• 14:58Fortune Feimster?

  And how was it decided what four names? Because there was a list of producers longer than that in the movie, no?

• 15:06Tig Notaro?

  Um, no, there's a list of executive producers, and it's interesting because in TV, film, and documentary, there's different titles and that mean different things. And the reason these four names are the producers.

• 15:25Tig Notaro?

  Ryan White directed the movie. Yep. He's also a producer. Got it. His producing partner. Uh huh. Jess Hargrave. Uh huh. She is the lead producer on all of his projects. Yes. And Steph Willen, who is the old friend of mine and Andrea's. It was her original idea. She brought it up to me on our call. Okay. And I brought the project to Jess and Ryan. Got it. So that makes us the four core producers and they also have to be very, very scaled down. Like you have to prove to the academy. Oh, really?

• 16:10Tig Notaro?

  Why each producer is necessary. And so they, they just want to make sure that it is bare bones. These are the producers. You can't have like 10 people on stage and just throw titles at them. So everybody gets a producer credit. You have to like submit. Hmm. Why you were crucial and key to the development of this. So you like, you write like a thing saying, this is what I did. Yeah. Okay. You have to cite so much and a lot of times they reject it and they need more information. That's so insane. Yeah. I get it though, but.

• 16:49Tig Notaro?

  Oh, for sure. But like as far as executive producer, those are the people that kicked down cash and, um, you know, did other things that were very crucial to the project, but they couldn't be listed as an actual producer. Jess Hargrave, I just want to say, I had a roommate called Jess and we lived on Hargrave. Oh, my gosh. That's why we won the Oscars. Oh my gosh, I cannot believe, where am I going to put it?

• 17:25Mae Martin?

  You know how the, was it the Grammys or the Emmys has a podcast category now? I think the Grammys, best podcast. Oh, really?

• 17:32Fortune Feimster?

  No, the Golden Globes.

• 17:33Mae Martin?

  Golden Globes, yeah, which is wild and, but do you think the Oscars ever would? No.

• 17:39Tig Notaro?

  But I think the Grammys should.

• 17:41Mae Martin?

  The Grammys.

• 17:42Tig Notaro?

  Because it's like they do audiobooks.

• 17:44Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, I could see the Grammys for sure.

• 17:46Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 17:47Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 17:47Tig Notaro?

  That feels like a very odd, um, decision that they haven't come around to considering how massive podcasting is because of our podcast.

• 17:59Fortune Feimster?

  Well, podcasting is now getting way more numbers than like all of these like late night shows and morning shows and so the medium has changed significantly.

• 18:10Tig Notaro?

  Mm hmm.

• 18:11Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, yeah, you did Kimmel. How was that?

• 18:13Mae Martin?

  My Jimmy Kimmel hat? Yeah, I did Kimmel. It was so fun and I felt like, it felt like a big deal to me. I was really pumped. Yeah.

• 18:21Fortune Feimster?

  It is. It's cool.

• 18:23Mae Martin?

  Like, I guess I've done Colbert, but it was, he was so nice. He was really warm and yeah, I had a really fun time and, and the, the producers asked me if I, I don't know, I must have said in the pre-interview that I was practicing telepathy, like mind reading cards, but I don't know how to do it. Like I, like I never get it right.

• 18:44Tig Notaro?

  Oh, yeah. I watched that clip. That was funny.

• 18:46Mae Martin?

  You did? Yeah.

• 18:47Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 18:48Mae Martin?

  I think, I think they thought that it was going to be like a magic trick that I could do.

• 18:52Tig Notaro?

  But it was so great that it led to nothing.

• 18:55Mae Martin?

  Nothing, nothing.

• 18:56Tig Notaro?

  Like, I was jealous, actually, when I saw you do that. I was like, oh.

• 19:00Fortune Feimster?

  Tig loves things that lead to nothing.

• 19:04Tig Notaro?

  I was truly like, God, that'd be so fun to do.

• 19:09Mae Martin?

  Yeah, you know what? It was, I guess it was the first time I've been like relaxed enough to kind of do a bit, like, or at least like try to be funny and not just be like, yes, thank you and thank you for having me. Yes, I do.

• 19:21Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I thought, yeah, I thought it was really funny.

• 19:24Mae Martin?

  Thanks.

• 19:25Tig Notaro?

  Well done, kid.

• 19:26Mae Martin?

  Thanks.

• 19:27Fortune Feimster?

  Well done, you.

• 19:28Mae Martin?

  But I always fuck up my outfit, like, right before I was going on, I thought, I'm gonna tuck this t-shirt right into these pants. And then

• 19:35Tig Notaro?

  Oh, God, did you?

• 19:36Mae Martin?

  I tucked the

• 19:36Tig Notaro?

  You tucked it?

• 19:37Mae Martin?

  The whole t-shirt and it was like riding up and kind of bunched up. It's just like, why do I always, in the last second, I think, you know what? I know better than all these stylists and makeup people. I'm gonna throw on some lip taint and tuck in my shirt.

• 19:51Tig Notaro?

  I always do that with my hair. I'll like, a moment before I go on, I do like a quick thing and then I'm like, oh, no, no, I just lost control of my hair. Oh, no.

• 20:02Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. Well, those seats are always weird and they're turned weird. So it's always like an awkward clothes situation when you're on late night. I don't know why.

• 20:10Mae Martin?

  Yeah, yeah. And your ankles show and, yeah.

• 20:13Tig Notaro?

  Specifically Fortune's ankles.

• 20:15Mae Martin?

  Yeah, ankles.

• 20:16Fortune Feimster?

  My ankles.

• 20:16Tig Notaro?

  One of the issues of late night.

• 20:19Fortune Feimster?

  I always have a button up and a blazer usually. So then the button up always widens. When, you know, when you sit down, it widens. And I'm always like, god dang it.

• 20:29Tig Notaro?

  God dang.

• 20:30Fortune Feimster?

  And then you just see a little belly.

• 20:32Mae Martin?

  There's a little peak in the belly.

• 20:34Tig Notaro?

  Cute little belly. We're tuning in for.

• 20:36Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 20:37Tig Notaro?

  You know who has a little belly right now?

• 20:39Mae Martin?

  Who?

• 20:41Tig Notaro?

  Little fluffadoodle do.

• 20:43Mae Martin?

  Has a belly?

• 20:44Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, a little pot belly. Her, um, her, um, steroids are creating a little pot belly. It's one of those like cute and sad things where you're like, oh, that's, cause

• 20:58Mae Martin?

  That's from medication, but we love it.

• 21:00Fortune Feimster?

  Is she doing okay?

• 21:00Tig Notaro?

  She's doing great. She's really responding to the, um, steroids and then she'll start chemo soon, which is also cute and sad.

• 21:09Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 21:10Tig Notaro?

  But, um, but anyway.

• 21:12Mae Martin?

  Little pot. There's nothing like a little

• 21:14Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 21:14Mae Martin?

  fuzzy belly.

• 21:16Tig Notaro?

  Just a little pot belly.

• 21:18Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 21:19Tig Notaro?

  How dare she show up with that thing? And how's, uh, Ginger?

• 21:24Fortune Feimster?

  She's good. She's, yeah, I were a phone call today, but she, uh, yeah, she's Do it. She has more energy now that she's like not on chemo at the moment. She's just on the immunotherapy. So she's a bit, got a bit more pep in her step. Nice. That's good. Glad to hear it. Yeah. Fortune, what have you been up to? What are you doing? What's going on? I'm just working, uh, filming this movie. We have just three weeks left. Uh, well, as of, as of this, as of to this filming right now, we have three, like three weeks left. When everyone hears this podcast, I will be wrapping it up. Yes. Yeah. But yeah, it went by super fast.

• 22:09Fortune Feimster?

  And you're having a good time? I'm having a great time. It's been such a whirlwind. Uh, the, the days are long and we, I've never been in a movie where I'm in every scene. So it is like, it's almost hard to like, sit and take it all in because you're just like constantly prepping a scene or in a scene. Mm hmm. Uh, but the four girls doing it, we're all just like very in it and we have, we're having a good time and. Great. Yeah. And then I, I will say Eva Longoria is our director and she is impressive. I didn't know she was directing.

• 22:50Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. She, she's, a lot of people don't know, she's been directing TV and stuff for like 20 years. I've heard she is so prepared. She's so prepared. She's incredible. I would, I would die to work with her on any project she's directing because, uh, you know, so much of acting is just sitting around and waiting. She is so prepared. We are rarely sitting more than 20 minutes, 15, 20 minutes. She is so on it. Uh, she comes so, so prepared. We are never sitting wondering what's happening next. Yeah. And she's just got a real eye for things. Say this, don't do that. She comes and fixes clothes, hair.

• 23:32Fortune Feimster?

  Like she's very hands on. I don't like that. Like she knows exactly what she wants, what she wants it to look like. That's awesome. I don't like that color. Let's move this. Yeah. She's, I've been super impressed by her skills. That's kind of like Stephanie. Like she's so, um, she has got a thought, opinion and vision for every moment of everything. Yeah. And I'm like, Do you think she'll try to direct more? Well, yeah, we have, we have projects that in different stages of development and, um, and yeah, she, but there's also ones where she's like, you know what? I could hand that off to someone or, you know? Right. But yeah, she's really good.

• 24:17Fortune Feimster?

  She's, she's, and just confident, just has that vision and talent. Yeah.

• 24:23Mae Martin?

  Is there gonna be a blooper reel? All I want is, I miss like, after the credits, the blooper's playing.

• 24:29Fortune Feimster?

  I love a blooper reel.

• 24:30Mae Martin?

  I love blooper.

• 24:32Fortune Feimster?

  I like seeing people laugh and giggle and mess up and.

• 24:35Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 24:36Tig Notaro?

  When it's real.

• 24:38Fortune Feimster?

  Right, yeah.

• 24:38Tig Notaro?

  When it's real.

• 24:40Mae Martin?

  There's nothing worse than a fake blooper.

• 24:42Tig Notaro?

  Well, when people are like, trying to get into a blooper reel or like.

• 24:49Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 24:50Fortune Feimster?

  That's for the bloopers.

• 24:52Mae Martin?

  That's one for the bloopers, yeah.

• 24:54Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, it's like, ugly.

• 24:55Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I don't know, I don't know if they will do that or not, but it would definitely be fun. It's a big crazy, like, this movie's crazy.

• 25:05Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 25:05Fortune Feimster?

  The things we're doing, lots of shenanigans, it's definitely rated R.

• 25:11Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 25:12Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 25:13Mae Martin?

  I can't wait, I can't wait.

• 25:14Fortune Feimster?

  When does it come out? I don't know, I don't, I don't know, movies take a bit longer.

• 25:19Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 25:19Fortune Feimster?

  Than the old TV stuff.

• 25:21Tig Notaro?

  But they don't have like a, oh, and we're, you know, hoping for it to go here. Is it for streaming?

• 25:27Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah, it's a Netflix movie.

• 25:29Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay.

• 25:30Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 25:30Tig Notaro?

  Got it.

• 25:31Fortune Feimster?

  So I would imagine next, sometime next year, if I could guess.

• 25:35Mae Martin?

  I'm pumped. All I've been watching is the America's Next Top Model documentary.

• 25:39Fortune Feimster?

  I watched that too, the documentary.

• 25:41Mae Martin?

  Wild.

• 25:42Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 25:43Mae Martin?

  It's crazy. I just can't believe that, like, we weren't at the time, like, I mean, I know people were like, this is, this is pretty crazy, but at the times were so different that we were like, yeah, that's cool that they're, I mean, and it was insane, the challenges they were doing and.

• 25:59Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 26:00Mae Martin?

  Yep.

• 26:01Fortune Feimster?

  Did you ever watch that show, Tig? I know you love mo, love modeling.

• 26:13Fortune Feimster?

  I know you love a catwalk.

• 26:14Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:15Tig Notaro?

  I have never seen it, but I did have an idea years ago. Cause Sarah Silverman used to watch it, I think, is where I would hear bits and pieces about it. And I was like, oh my gosh, I would love to do like a funnier die series where I'm in. And I'm like walking the boardwalk or catwalk with board shorts on and like a tank top.

• 26:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:43Tig Notaro?

  And like, is that where they judge you?

• 26:46Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 26:46Tig Notaro?

  Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but also I was gonna say, when your movie comes out, girl, we gotta have a watch party. We have to like.

• 26:53Fortune Feimster?

  I know.

• 26:54Tig Notaro?

  And like one of that, when people, like an online watch party.

• 27:00Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 27:00Tig Notaro?

  You know, so, you know, cause it.

• 27:02Mae Martin?

  All the handsome.

• 27:03Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, that would be cool.

• 27:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have everybody watch it and be like, girl. Cause it feels very primed for like, girl, watch party.

• 27:12Fortune Feimster?

  I know. I have been trying to get in period jokes.

• 27:16Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh.

• 27:16Fortune Feimster?

  Galore.

• 27:18Mae Martin?

  You've been trying to shoehorn in.

• 27:22Tig Notaro?

  They're like, fortunate enough of wedging in the period jokes.

• 27:28Fortune Feimster?

  We'll see. We'll see what makes it in.

• 27:30Mae Martin?

  Yeah, we want your, we want to watch it with you. So we get the commentary throughout of like, oh, on this day, this happened. And yeah.

• 27:37Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I just like, I like, I mean, who knows how, you know, so much has to come together in the editing and everything for the, for the final thing. But, you know, what we are shooting is just very wild and crazy. I like seeing female comedians do the things that the guys get to do.

• 27:55Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 27:56Fortune Feimster?

  You know?

• 27:56Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 27:57Fortune Feimster?

  So that's what I enjoy about this. So we'll see.

• 28:00Mae Martin?

  What if they cut you out?

• 28:03Fortune Feimster?

  The movie I don't think could exist if I was cut out. I'm a pretty pivotal pivotal part of the movie.

• 28:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. It feels like probably you all need to be in it.

• 28:16Fortune Feimster?

  All four of us, the movie could not exist.

• 28:19Tig Notaro?

  Have you been cut out of anything? I have.

• 28:21Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, yeah, for sure.

• 28:23Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 28:23Fortune Feimster?

  Cut out of a couple of things.

• 28:25Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 28:26Fortune Feimster?

  And I've been, I've been cut down pretty significantly too.

• 28:30Tig Notaro?

  Uh huh.

• 28:30Fortune Feimster?

  To the point where like I could have been an extra. And I'm like, why did you leave me in at all? I think I would almost rather be cut out completely.

• 28:39Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 28:40Fortune Feimster?

  Than like show up in a scene and never appear again. And that was like, why, what were you doing there?

• 28:48Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. Yeah, it's um, sometimes there's just like too much going on to service your character.

• 28:57Tig Notaro?

  Or sometimes you do a terrible job.

• 29:00Fortune Feimster?

  I got cut out of that movie, um, the happiest season movie. Remember that one? The lesbian Christmas movie?

• 29:07Mae Martin?

  You were, you got cut out?

• 29:09Fortune Feimster?

  I got cut out of that one and I um, filmed a scene with Kristen and the other actress, I can't, the other main actress, I can't remember the name. And my, I was, my character was insane. I rented them a car and um, for them to drive home and they ended up cutting it because they're like, we, we just need to get to them going home.

• 29:28Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 29:28Fortune Feimster?

  And I totally understood, but I was being like my, I was a crazy like rental car salesperson.

• 29:36Tig Notaro?

  Sure.

• 29:36Fortune Feimster?

  Who was, I kept making Kristen Stewart break the whole time.

• 29:40Tig Notaro?

  Oh.

• 29:41Fortune Feimster?

  And then I watched the movie and I saw that the next scene was them in the car together, but basically just explaining the plot to each other.

• 29:51Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 29:52Fortune Feimster?

  And I'm like, well, how do, I could have done that in the rental car.

• 29:56Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 29:56Fortune Feimster?

  Scene and it been goofier. You know what I mean?

• 29:59Tig Notaro?

  That's so funny. I was cut out of a Kristen Stewart movie.

• 30:03Fortune Feimster?

  No way.

• 30:04Tig Notaro?

  Yes.

• 30:08Tig Notaro?

  I was in the Runaways. I played Joan Jett's mom.

• 30:12Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 30:12Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 30:13Fortune Feimster?

  And I'm wearing a, I'm wearing heels and like a long skirt.

• 30:18Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God.

• 30:19Fortune Feimster?

  And a wig.

• 30:20Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh, I should put the, I have a picture of me, Kristen and Joan Jett and I should, and I'm in a dress.

• 30:26Mae Martin?

  You need to send us that.

• 30:28Tig Notaro?

  And it's when I had boobs, like I'm like full on top secret.

• 30:33Fortune Feimster?

  Just big old tit, big old titties.

• 30:35Tig Notaro?

  Big old bitties.

• 30:37Mae Martin?

  Wow.

• 30:38Tig Notaro?

  But yeah, man, Kristen's ruthless. She's like, out you go, get out of my movies.

• 30:45Fortune Feimster?

  I think, I think she would have wanted to keep it in. She was laughing a lot. She was fun.

• 30:50Mae Martin?

  I need to get cast in something of hers so she can cut me out.

• 30:54Tig Notaro?

  You gotta get cut out of one of her movies.

• 30:55Mae Martin?

  You're no one until you've been cut out of a Kristen Stewart.

• 30:58Tig Notaro?

  Put it on the list, Thomas. Yeah. You're not handsome until you've been cut out of a Kristen Stewart movie. What a funny connection there.

• 31:06Mae Martin?

  We gotta get, we gotta get a question from her.

• 31:08Tig Notaro?

  Oh, that's your why we got cut out of a movie.

• 31:11Mae Martin?

  Yeah, we send her a question.

• 31:19Tig Notaro?

  Her mother used to be the script supervisor on Sarah Silverman.

• 31:23Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, really?

• 31:24Tig Notaro?

  The Sarah Silverman program, yeah. And Kristen is on the Sarah Silverman program.

• 31:28Fortune Feimster?

  I did not realize that.

• 31:30Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, when she was obviously a wee one.

• 31:33Fortune Feimster?

  A wee, but a wee child.

• 31:35Tig Notaro?

  Yes, a wee child.

• 31:36Fortune Feimster?

  A wee child here on Ted Potter's there.

• 31:39Mae Martin?

  A script supervisor is such a crucial role.

• 31:43Tig Notaro?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 31:44Mae Martin?

  You have to be so focused and you're just sitting there.

• 31:47Tig Notaro?

  I could never. Oh, no way.

• 31:48Mae Martin?

  Yeah. And there, there was this woman, Suzie, who was the script supervisor on.

• 31:53Tig Notaro?

  Oh, Suzie. How is she?

• 31:54Mae Martin?

  She's thriving. And we were like, I, I walked by and they, and she was having a conversation with someone about dreams. Like, do you remember your dreams? And she, this was so out of, out of keeping with her, what I knew of Suzie, which was like, just this very focused, quite sweet. And she goes, well, you know, most nights I dream about horrific violence and where I'm, where I'm breaking people's bones. I'm pounding people into the dirt. It was like, whoa, Suzie. Anyway, just.

• 32:24Tig Notaro?

  That doesn't fit the name Suzie, I'll be honest. That was my mother's name.

• 32:29Mae Martin?

  Really?

• 32:29Tig Notaro?

  But any, yes. Well, her name was Mattel, just like mine was, but my mother went by Suzie, just like I go by Tig. Anyway.

• 32:39Tig Notaro?

  Makes no sense. Should we get to our question?

• 32:42Fortune Feimster?

  Let's do it.

• 32:43Mae Martin?

  Today's question asker is an actor and activist who starred in shows like One Tree Hill and Chicago P D. She's also known for her advocacy of environmental causes and women's rights, including as a founding member of the Time's Up movement. She hosts the podcast Work in Progress. Sophia Bush is asking today's question.

• 33:02Speaker 03

  Eyes. Not all eyes. Well, hello, you handsome three. Sophia Bush here. I am very curious. If you could stop time for a day or, I don't know, a weekend, the whole world would just pause. And you could continue, have a real break.

• 33:31Speaker 03

  What would you do? Would you go somewhere? Would you sleep? Like, what would you do? Let's say with a spare weekend.

• 33:45Mae Martin?

  I know what I'm doing.

• 33:46Fortune Feimster?

  We know that May's stopping time.

• 33:49Mae Martin?

  I'm. Stop the world. I want to hang with my girls.

• 33:57Mae Martin?

  I want to take you guys to Disney.

• 34:00Fortune Feimster?

  To Disney? I don't remember who asked that. It was early on. We had something about spending time together and May chose us.

• 34:08Mae Martin?

  Or yeah, it was if you could freeze time.

• 34:10Fortune Feimster?

  And we awkwardly stopped talking. That's what a superpower would be. It means I want to freeze time so we can hang out together.

• 34:17Mae Martin?

  You guys are like.

• 34:18Fortune Feimster?

  Right.

• 34:20Mae Martin?

  Crickets.

• 34:21Fortune Feimster?

  Well, we were just like, really? That's the superpower?

• 34:27Fortune Feimster?

  Stop time and hang out with my podcast hus.

• 34:30Mae Martin?

  Well, it's.

• 34:30Fortune Feimster?

  My co-host.

• 34:31Mae Martin?

  I talk to you guys more than a lot of my other people in my life because, you know, we talk for hours on the pod, but.

• 34:39Fortune Feimster?

  And giggle.

• 34:40Mae Martin?

  We gigs. I want to have some new. New experiences with you guys. Like, I want to see you in a different context, like on Space Mountain.

• 34:49Fortune Feimster?

  Like on Space Mountain or in Joshua Tree.

• 34:52Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 34:53Fortune Feimster?

  It's not mutual.

• 34:55Tig Notaro?

  That's not true.

• 35:00Fortune Feimster?

  If we could freeze time for she, she said a weekend?

• 35:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 35:05Fortune Feimster?

  Okay.

• 35:06Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 35:07Mae Martin?

  Oh, it's so boring to say sleeping, but I do fantasize about that feeling that you have when you're a teenager and for whatever reason, your parents are leaving you alone and you get to just not get out of bed, you know, you can, and just keep going for like 13 hours.

• 35:23Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 35:24Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 35:24Tig Notaro?

  I mean, it sounds amazing to sleep, but I, I don't think I'd want to do that with my time. Did I tell you I got rid of my CPAP machine?

• 35:33Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 35:33Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, I don't, maybe, but I don't remember.

• 35:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you block out everything I say, Fortune. Yeah, I got rid of that. So sorry, no more videos.

• 35:44Fortune Feimster?

  I forgot why, though. It wasn't, you didn't feel like it was doing anything?

• 35:47Tig Notaro?

  I felt like I was struggling it, struggling with it more than actually sleeping.

• 35:54Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah.

• 35:55Tig Notaro?

  And so I've just been.

• 35:59Mae Martin?

  But it's so sexy.

• 36:02Tig Notaro?

  I know, it's really sexy, but I don't know. I, I've actually, I've been feeling good about my sleep. I, there's still a little bit more of a bridge to connect there, but I've been very, very good with it and I'm, I'm happy with my progress. So I think that creates less anxiety than putting that contraption on my head and face.

• 36:25Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 36:25Tig Notaro?

  And then I also don't have Stephanie in the middle of the night tapping me and being like, I think your tube fell off of your face. Cause then it's like.

• 36:32Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, yeah. Loud noise.

• 36:35Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 36:38Mae Martin?

  So you wouldn't choose sleep?

• 36:40Tig Notaro?

  No, I wouldn't choose sleep. I think that I naturally, which I'm not going to do, and you can't really do in life, but I think when I start to feel overwhelmed by the world and politics and injustice and all of that kind of stuff, I start to imagine just living.

• 37:05Tig Notaro?

  Off the grid and just homesteader.

• 37:10Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 37:11Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, trad dyke, like just a total trad dyke.

• 37:14Mae Martin?

  Like growing food.

• 37:16Tig Notaro?

  Growing food and running through the pasture with the kids with their, with no shoes on. But I also, which is something I actually would like to do with you both, which we've talked about.

• 37:28Mae Martin?

  Pasture with.

• 37:29Tig Notaro?

  No, no, but I'd love to have, like with you two specifically, I want to use you as like my little experimental wellness weekend.

• 37:40Mae Martin?

  Yes.

• 37:40Tig Notaro?

  You know?

• 37:41Mae Martin?

  Oh, yeah. I am so in.

• 37:43Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I just think that'd be so fun and interesting if we forced ourselves to do that, like, early rising and meditation and all organic vegan kind of food and talking about any sort of feelings.

• 38:02Mae Martin?

  That come up in the meditation and yeah.

• 38:04Tig Notaro?

  And journaling. Yeah, journaling, swimming, um.

• 38:08Mae Martin?

  Art therapy.

• 38:08Tig Notaro?

  Cooking together, art, all of it, listening to vinyl.

• 38:12Mae Martin?

  Fortune's face. I'm getting real.

• 38:15Tig Notaro?

  My eyes glazing over.

• 38:17Mae Martin?

  Yes. Cause I.

• 38:19Tig Notaro?

  I will do it for you two.

• 38:21Mae Martin?

  I love structure.

• 38:22Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, I would, yeah. And, and what a fun pod that would follow. I just think it would be so funny if we forced ourselves to get up to watch the sunrise and meditated and like really had an unusual weekend together like that.

• 38:38Mae Martin?

  I know. And I'm like, would it, would it take away from the magic if someone documented it? Cause I would, I would like to have a visual memory of us all on, on the dock at 5am watching the sunrise.

• 38:48Tig Notaro?

  Well, what we could do is we could do our first trial run of wellness weekend and then we could do one where we have somebody document our wellness weekend.

• 39:00Mae Martin?

  I love structure. I love being told what to do like, and I can, I can get quite bossy as well, like with my parties and I'm forcing people to play games and stuff like, so the idea of someone going, this is the schedule and we're sticking to it. Oh, I love that.

• 39:13Tig Notaro?

  So you throw parties and then you just ruin them?

• 39:16Mae Martin?

  Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. But you know what? People, a lot of people appreciate it. There's no awkward like-

• 39:22Tig Notaro?

  That's what you've told yourself.

• 39:23Mae Martin?

  Yeah. No, like I have a telepathy table that's set up. So if you just met someone and you, you want an icebreaker, you go sit at a telepathy table and you-

• 39:33Tig Notaro?

  Okay. Well, that's what I would do. I would have a wellness weekend or I'd go barefoot. It's kind of the same thing of just kind of disconnecting and not having any sort of knowledge of what's going on in the world.

• 39:50Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 39:51Tig Notaro?

  My first girlfriend, well, actually when Bill Clinton was in office, when he won the first time, the presidency, she was like, I'm not reading the news. And she did this game where she wanted to see how long she could go without finding out who won the presidency that year.

• 40:12Mae Martin?

  That's funny. That's really funny.

• 40:15Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. She was like, don't tell me, don't tell, don't tell me who won. And yeah, I think it went on for a couple of weeks.

• 40:21Fortune Feimster?

  Oh, wow.

• 40:22Tig Notaro?

  Well, that was before social media, you know?

• 40:25Mae Martin?

  For smartphones. Yeah. You would just have to not read a newspaper and not talk to like a taxi driver or anything.

• 40:31Tig Notaro?

  Right.

• 40:32Mae Martin?

  Yeah. I fantasize about that too. And about, yeah, yeah, just nature. I might go on a hike after this. Yeah. What about you, Fortune?

• 40:40Fortune Feimster?

  I mean, it's funny. When I think about freezing time, I think of the past, right? And I don't know if that's part of this equation, but I would, you know, if, if it were, since we can make it up to be anything we want.

• 40:52Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. I don't think Sophia's gonna hunt us down and correct our answers.

• 40:57Fortune Feimster?

  I would want to go back in time to when my grandmother was alive and have a weekend and freeze time there. Cause I think freezing time for me just symbolizes like getting more time with somebody you don't get to have time with.

• 41:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. So that's why I want wellness weekend with you two.

• 41:17Mae Martin?

  That's right.

• 41:19Fortune Feimster?

  But I think I would want it when I was in high school before my grandmother got sick, to just be able to like have a conversation with her. Knowing what I know now would be pretty cool. And just to kind of take her in a bit more in a way that was like paying attention to the details more. The, you know, you don't really think about when you're a teenager.

• 41:47Tig Notaro?

  And what is the particular knowledge you have now that you think would make it all that much better?

• 41:54Fortune Feimster?

  Well, I mean, I was, you know, she died when I was right after I turned 18. So I, I remember, I appreciated her as much as you could for being a teenager.

• 42:04Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 42:05Fortune Feimster?

  I think, you know, I knew how special she was even then. And I like would pick her up and take her to like, you know, we would go to this Chinese restaurant we loved. So I had a lot of quality time with her. So I don't have regrets in that way. I feel like I did as much as I could with her for being a silly teenager. But I think as an adult, you know, I can look back and think about her in a way that's like all the sacrifices she made for me and the, the unconditional love part that you don't really think about at that age.

• 42:42Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 42:43Fortune Feimster?

  The significance of that and just, I would have liked to, like, I have bits and pieces of her in my memory of like her hu, like she was more of a straight laced lady, but like seeing bits of her humor, I would like to take that in a bit more.

• 42:58Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 42:59Fortune Feimster?

  Seeing her talk about trees and birds and flowers and the little things like that too. I would like to be able to go back and remember like more, instead of having like pieces of her memory, like having full conversations.

• 43:15Tig Notaro?

  Yeah.

• 43:15Fortune Feimster?

  Things like that. Yeah.

• 43:17Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. And even to record some of it and, and to like listen in a different way.

• 43:21Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. I actually found a DVD that I was worried I had lost that I had taken a bunch of tapes back in the day and made into a DVD that were of her.

• 43:32Tig Notaro?

  No way.

• 43:33Fortune Feimster?

  That I haven't watched in like probably 20 years. So I'd like to get a DVD player.

• 43:40Tig Notaro?

  Yeah, you have to. Yeah.

• 43:42Fortune Feimster?

  Yeah. And then if it were to freeze time now, I guess I'm in a similar situation of like, well, my mom's getting older and is sick. So maybe freezing time there where we, but we've had some really good quality experiences lately, especially that cruise I took her on.

• 43:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 43:59Fortune Feimster?

  I think that was a significant memory for the both of us as of recent times.

• 44:04Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 44:05Fortune Feimster?

  She mothered everyone on the ship.

• 44:06Mae Martin?

  Yeah, she mothered all the gay guys.

• 44:09Fortune Feimster?

  And we just spent, you know, I was going through a really hard time in my life with my marriage falling apart and to, to like go to leave that situation and go to your mom for five days.

• 44:27Fortune Feimster?

  Would, would the timing of that was pretty significant as well.

• 44:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 44:32Fortune Feimster?

  Cause even as an adult, you're like, oh, I still, you know, you still need your, or want your mom.

• 44:39Mae Martin?

  Mm hmm. I feel like you guys really know each other as adults. Like you, you are very yourselves with each other and know each other.

• 44:47Fortune Feimster?

  For sure.

• 44:48Mae Martin?

  It's a rare good thing.

• 44:49Fortune Feimster?

  For sure. So yeah, I don't know. Some of that stuff.

• 44:54Mae Martin?

  I'm scared that I would freeze. Oh, sleep. Yeah. I'm scared that I'd be like, oh yeah, I'm going to freeze time. So I can read all those books I've been planning on reading or, or catch up on sleep. And then I'd freeze the time and then I wouldn't be able to do it. And I'd see the time slipping away. I'd be like, I can only freeze it for one weekend and I haven't read a single fucking book. I'm still.

• 45:13Fortune Feimster?

  So you'd just panic. You'd freeze time and just be in a full panic.

• 45:17Mae Martin?

  For the whole weekend.

• 45:18Fortune Feimster?

  I can't do anything. It's like a black, it's like a Black Mirror episode.

• 45:22Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 45:23Fortune Feimster?

  If, if you froze time for one thing, it would affect another thing.

• 45:26Mae Martin?

  Yeah. I am glad I, I, when I was in my early twenties, I wrote a letter to my grandma, asking her about the second world war. So weird. She was, she was like, what? Where did this come from? But she never spoke about it, but I just was like, I knew she was in London during the blitz and I knew my grandfather was in the army and stuff. So I just was like, I want to know. And then she wrote me back this handwritten letter.

• 45:56Fortune Feimster?

  This is your agent grandmother?

• 45:58Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm glad I, I'm glad I asked.

• 46:02Fortune Feimster?

  God, you know what hasn't come up?

• 46:04Tig Notaro?

  Much in my life.

• 46:07Mae Martin?

  Second World War?

• 46:08Tig Notaro?

  Is the blitz.

• 46:09Mae Martin?

  Oh, the blitz?

• 46:10Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. It just rarely comes up.

• 46:12Mae Martin?

  Really? Because I think about it all the time.

• 46:16Tig Notaro?

  Well, I don't doubt that, but I just, it just hasn't been a huge part of my life.

• 46:21Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 46:22Tig Notaro?

  But you know, it is, a picture of me and you may just flash through my, my electronic frame. Yeah. When we were talking to Eddie Izzard.

• 46:36Mae Martin?

  Oh, my God, that was the first night we met.

• 46:39Tig Notaro?

  Stand up, that stand up show. Yeah, that's kind of what accidentally caused this podcast was connecting with you and enjoying talking to you. And then I think I had run into Fortune and

• 46:54Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 46:55Tig Notaro?

  in Vegas. And, and I just kind of was like, oh, yeah, I like running into them chatting and it's pleasant. And anyway, that picture just ran right past me.

• 47:08Mae Martin?

  Look at that.

• 47:10Tig Notaro?

  Memories like the corner of my mind. Well, should we see what Sophia has to say?

• 47:19Mae Martin?

  Yeah, let's do it. Oh, wait, can I just say?

• 47:21Tig Notaro?

  I've got more where that came from.

• 47:22Mae Martin?

  Can I say also that I love Sophia Bush and know her a little bit and wish I could hang out with her more in free time. But the one time that I went to her house and we were hanging out and then her partner, Ashlyn Harris, FaceTimed her and was just like, hey, what are you up to? And they're like, the tiny glimpse I got into their relationship dynamic and their vibes, I was like, that's the goal. It was just such a sweet, flirty, funny convo. And I was like, that's so beautiful.

• 47:52Tig Notaro?

  That's so nice.

• 47:53Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 47:54Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. I, I did Sophia's podcast years ago and I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know how polit- I didn't know she was politically active for as long as she has been.

• 48:08Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 48:09Tig Notaro?

  You know, and I think because she's kind of thrust more into my

• 48:16Tig Notaro?

  Sight that I kind of assumed like, oh, maybe because she's now in a gay relationship, it's made her more political. But it's just fascinating to know how long she's been so political. And it's just, it's a really nice layer to, to getting to know her.

• 48:43Mae Martin?

  Yeah. Amen.

• 48:45Tig Notaro?

  Amen.

• 48:46Mae Martin?

  Amen.

• 48:47Tig Notaro?

  Amen. Let's, let's hear what she has to say.

• 48:52Speaker 03

  I'm realizing that for me, I have two different answers and they're based on place. I think if I were at home in Los Angeles, I would lay in my backyard and read a book that I've been desperate to read, but haven't cracked open yet. I think if I were home in New York and I had a weekend, I think I'd want to go walk around the city and just look at all the people, you know, frozen in time. I don't know if I'd really want to go into anything, but I think I'd want to walk around. And then, yeah, I'd probably read. I think

• 49:34Speaker 03

  really what this means is that I should start making my way through more of the books that I order.

• 49:39Tig Notaro?

  That's really interesting that she needs to freeze time to walk around.

• 49:46Mae Martin?

  Well, maybe she, she gets recognized a bunch. Maybe she, it would mean she wouldn't, yeah.

• 49:51Fortune Feimster?

  I don't want to interact with anybody. She's like, to walk around.

• 49:55Tig Notaro?

  Everybody stay in your home, in your apartment. I'm gonna take a walk around.

• 50:01Fortune Feimster?

  While you guys are frozen.

• 50:02Mae Martin?

  Yeah, I forgot everyone else would be frozen like that. Yeah.

• 50:05Tig Notaro?

  Well, yeah, it's like the, the simple things in life. It sounds like, uh, that's what we're all interested in.

• 50:12Mae Martin?

  Isn't that interesting?

• 50:13Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 50:15Mae Martin?

  None of us are like,

• 50:16Fortune Feimster?

  Which we can do.

• 50:17Mae Martin?

  I know. We can do all of these things.

• 50:20Tig Notaro?

  We can walk around.

• 50:21Mae Martin?

  We can read books.

• 50:22Fortune Feimster?

  We can read books.

• 50:23Mae Martin?

  We can go to nature.

• 50:25Fortune Feimster?

  I can go see my mom.

• 50:27Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. You guys can come over for the weekend and meditate with me.

• 50:31Mae Martin?

  Yeah.

• 50:32Tig Notaro?

  So I don't have to do this alone anymore.

• 50:35Mae Martin?

  Yeah. None of us were like, I'd, I'd walk into the bank and

• 50:40Tig Notaro?

  What?

• 50:41Mae Martin?

  Rob the bank. I don't know. Because everyone would be frozen.

• 50:46Tig Notaro?

  That's true.

• 50:48Mae Martin?

  No, we all just kind of want to be alone and.

• 50:50Tig Notaro?

  Well, Sophia might, she might, that'd be one of her stops on her walk. She'd walk right into the bank and take it all.

• 50:58Fortune Feimster?

  I love the phrase, crack open a book.

• 51:01Mae Martin?

  Crack reaction. You can almost smell the new book smell there.

• 51:05Tig Notaro?

  Yeah. I was gonna launch into just a few little mentions of my tour, if anybody cares. I'll be always doing Dynasty, Typewriter in Largo in Los Angeles. And then I'll also be in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Portland, Maine. I'll be in Red Bank, New Jersey, Brooks, California, Albany, New York, Peekskill, New York.
