Chatting to Friends on the Handsome Pot. Cheers. Welcome to the Handsome Pod. I'm Fortune Featster. I'm Tignotaro. Mom Mae Martin. And we're together in person. We are for the second time this week.

This is incredible. This is wild. It feels like we are all just so like, I don't know, sympathico right now. Yeah, go to YouTube or Hulu and see what Fortune just did with her hands. I did this. Yeah. You are doing that. I don't know. I don't know why.

That's a perfect representing. Yeah, that's what's happening. We're very connected at the moment. Yeah. It never fails to be Uber connecting. In person. Yeah. That's why we held hands.

Yeah. Just to feel it. Yeah. Just to feel your pheromons again is electric. Well, we saw each other this week because we had our live show in L.A. for the Netflix is a joke festival. And that was awesome. Yes.

And when we say this week, we mean a few weeks ago. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But in real life, it was wild. I think that might have been, I was thinking like, the biggest show I've ever done. What do you mean?

Numbers was. How many people were in that place? It would. That was about, was it 1800? Oh, never mind. Yeah,

you've done. Oh, no, I told every. I've done way there. No, I think the biggest, maybe 2000.

I don't know. I've been telling everyone it was 5,000. I think that was 3,000. Oh, okay, I take it all back. Yeah, we have 3,000. Yeah, we have 3,000.

Yeah, that was just a baby. Yeah, but it never feels. It felt big. And I'm always like, you guys are, cool as cucumbers.

Like to go out with nothing and just chat, I'm in awe. I became like a clown. I was doing like physical comedy that I've never done. I didn't even pick up on it. What were you doing? I did the worm on the carpet. I did a magic mic dance. I was manic.

I feel like you... And then half the carpet got on my shirt. Yes, yes, yes. I honestly feel like I would feel the same if we were walking out in front of a stadium. Oh, for me. Yeah. I don't think it would... It wouldn't affect your...

I don't think so. Your level. I really don't. And I don't. And, you know, a lot of people like to say that it means that you don't care. And that's not true. That's not true at all. No, you're like, I'm home.

I just, I, I have faith. I, I know that I've lived through everything so far in my life. Like, what's the worst to get out of? Yeah. And it's like, even when things go terribly wrong in comedy, it usually creates the greatest comedy in the world. It's pretty delightful. when something. Yeah.

When the three of us always find things to talk about somehow. I know. I know. It always goes off in some direction. A direction we could never anticipate it going. And it was so nice also having our guests really reiterate. Like, well, first of all, they were really great guests. They were a small acriman and Brittany Snow from the Honeywife.

Yeah. And then they were also pointing out like, gosh, you guys are just so perfectly different. Mm-hmm. You know, and just bring such a different. vibe and energy to the show. Yeah. And I think I just have faith that will bring it. Yeah.

It was fun. We talked to them for a long time. They were delightful and funny and so cool. They were so up for it. Yeah. They were silly. They were handsome outfits. They were both wearing suits.

Oh my gosh. Yeah, they both showed up in suits. Yeah. They looked stunning. And then I thought all that does make sense because, you know, our pictures is us. And then I showed up and Fortune pointed out a few times that I dialed it in. You were in your most casual outfit. It was the most casual I've ever seen you.

Really? I'm a pretty casual person. That was pretty casual. Like these shoes are super smart. Yeah, those, see the, yeah, these are, where were these? Okay, well, I had a day today. But, yeah, anyway, I'll wear a suit or a dress next time. No dress, please.

Oh, we should do a dress night. Oh, my God. And have Katie Lang on, who started in that kind of, remember Katie's early days of wearing dresses? Would she wear dresses? Yes. I've only ever seen her post-dress phase. Oh, no. She used to, it was such a obvious rebellion, I assumed, to her look and vibe.

So she'd wear, like, cute little dress, like cowboy dresses and stuff. Western dresses? Oh my God. When was the last time? Dresses? Yeah. When was the last time you wore? I don't know if I could speak.

Would you do it in a, maybe not a live show, but like here? I mean, for a laugh, I'd do it, but I'd be, I don't. For a what? A laugh. A laugh. Is that a lot? Are you joking? I said that weird on purpose.

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if. I think that's an Atlanta Johnstonism for a loft. Oh, okay. I don't know if I could. I think I'd enjoy it. And then like after five minutes, I'd be done. And that's okay.

Yeah. But do you remember that photo shoot? Rip it off. We could rip it off. You could rip it off me. Do you remember? You probably won't specifically remember this the way I do, but that when Brad Pitt did a photo shoot in a dress when Fight Club came out, it was the hottest. It was like this little dress.

And yeah. I don't remember that. So maybe I could do it like that. Absolutely. Yeah. But you do whatever we want. When was the last time you guys threw on a gown? The last time I wore a dress was when I played Joan Jett's mother in the runaways.

That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I told you the... You got cut? Well, yeah, I got cut. But more incredibly, when I was, when they knocked on my trailer to bring me to set and I showed up at the door my trailer, the woman that was taking me in the van, she goes, no, she laughed. Yeah, and I go, oh, and she was like, sorry, I'm just really familiar with you.

So this is a lot to process. Because I had a wig on, too. Wow. And dress. Maybe I'll dig up that picture. I have a picture of me with Kristen Stewart and Joan Jett. Oh, you gotta get that pick out. I would love to see it.

You will not, and I have boobs at the time. Whoa. Like it was actual tig boobs. Oh my god. Titty Titty Tits. Titty Tis. What about you? Well, you know, I do my character, Brenda, where I'm in a one-piece bathing suit.

That doesn't count, but it's very girly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I'm in character, it feels very natural. Right. But a dress, it's... Itself might have been... I'm picturing it and I like it. I filmed something in Austin, I want to say, 2016.

And they had me wear a long dress and big dangly earrings. Oh, my God. Oh, wait, no, I take that back in Fubar. They made me wear... I think they made me wear something girly. Oh, my God. Something girly or a dress? It's always...

Well, now that I think about it, it was a girly pants suit. It wasn't a dress. Not the same. I know, it's not. But if I do any dress, it's usually a character type thing. Last time I wore a dress for real was when I was a journalist and I covered the Oscars. And you wore a gown board. Yeah, my gams were showing.

I have a picture of that. Fortune, Marie, you get that. I'll have them posted on socials. Oh, my God. My gams were gammon. And did you know you were a homosexual? I did. But I was only out at that point maybe to your dress.

Like a year or two. Yeah. I look cute. I think I wore one as a character in my teens. Like that was the last time for real. And then in feel good, my character had to put one on. Had to. I wrote it.

But I was so stressed. And then the director, I found out luckily in time that she was going to have the whole crew wear dresses to make me feel more comfortable. And I was like, that is going to make it way worse. I was I nipped that in the bud You just, because you just wanted it to just be like a non-thing Yes, but I was freaking out about it Yeah

Speaking of nipping things in the bud Yeah I years ago thought it was nipping it in the butt Like if a dog bit That makes sense Yeah That makes more sense Yeah

Nip it in the butt Did you know Because Mullen Ackerman Grew up in Toronto And so then I Posted the pictures from the live show And then my friend messaged me and went, she went to North Toronto High School.

That's where I went. No. I went for six months to North Toronto High School. Y'all didn't even get to talk about the. Are you the same age? No, she was older, but she was in my friend's sister's year, which is wild. So, yeah. I want to say Mollins are maybe around my age, I think.

Yeah. Yeah. I got, I wanted to have little, I kept trying to have little side combos and forget. I know. There were 1800 people. I was noticing that. Especially what you found out Mullen was from Toronto. You were like, really?

Really? Yeah. It's getting lost to Niroli's. We had a number of their hunting wives fans came to the show. They were rabid fans in those gals. We showed up to the show

and there was like eight girls outside and I was like, man, people were real excited for this show. This was like a side gate or something. Yeah, like 20. By the alley. By the alley. And they and I got there at the same time

and they could not have cared less about man. And they were like, I'm, yeah. Excuse me, could you get it out of the way? And then I was like, oh, they're here for them. Okay. Yeah.

So it was very funny. Yeah. Yeah. Really put you in your place. It really does. Yeah. Yeah, that was fun. I loved it.

Meanwhile, then when I arrived, all eight of those girls went nuts. Screens. Yeah. Yeah. They were fainting. Yeah. Have you ever fainted from excitement? Oh, I don't know that this would be.

excitement, but I did faint in the middle of a gay bar in Paris. That sounds like excitement. I was like, I was living in Spain at the time. Went to go visit my friend Brian in Paris. He took me to a gay bar, but it was like kind of in a basement. It was really hot. Yeah. It was packed.

And it was like they had like a Mr. Paris competition. So those dudes and speedos and stuff. Hell. Which I don't, I don't mind. a guy in a speedo like I don't mind a guy out of a speedo right they're beautiful some beautiful guys out there I love it and we're just like watching the watching the competition and next thing I know I'm like on the ground oh my god he said that my knees buckled and that I just passed out not heard this story I don't know I hadn't thought about it forever but I guess it was so packed that like my fall was like

kind of gently like by these greased up men. All these gauge just kind of broke my fall. And then I came to and my friends laughing hysterically. And I realized what happened. And he got me up really quick. And we run out of the bar and just are crying, laughing, walking out of this bar. And we went and got a crape after. So I mean, yeah, you fainted from all these speedos.

I guess I was so excited about these videos. It was like, yeah, like a Paris magic mic situation. I feel like people used to faint like beetle mania. Like it used to be more of a thing. I want to do it on the pot at some point in this episode. I'm going to. Well, I bet that was the case because back then they just weren't exposed to much. Do you, you know, excitement.

Yeah. So their bodies may have just been in such shock that even like scary movies and stuff. Yeah, the exorcists, people were puking and freaking out. But we're so desensitized now. Or like when Elvis moved his hips, for the first time. Everybody just fainted. Not to bring up, what's his name?

Who? The movie I saw. Forrest Gump. Oh, yeah. But that's how Elvis learned how to dance. Oh, from. Forrest Gump. Oh, yeah.

Do you remember that? I forgot. You've just seen it for the first time. Yeah, I forgot. Yeah, so this is my only reference point now. That is true. Yeah. Checking Allstate First could save you hundreds on car insurance.

Yeah. What may what? What? What? that happened?

Well, I went to this, well, just to back up, I was believe it or not, I have never, the Met Galah has never been on my radar. Okay. I not familiar.

I assumed as much. Okay. But you didn't did you know it existed or you hadn't really? It sounds familiar. It's just, it's something that it's just like, but there's so much political with the Amazon rumblings around this one.

Yeah. So there's so much that I was seeing and I became very familiar with the MET situation. And the political like I was like what is this event? What is the meaning of it?

What is the politics going on? Then I'm looking at people and I'm like, well why is this person? And then I started to feel like, oh, like sucked you in. Well,

yeah, I was like, why am I even looking at this? Yeah. You know what I? This is not

something that is my genuine interest. And you didn't seek it out. Did not seek it out. It was served up to me. And I, and I, and I,

I felt like a tool. Yeah, because now you're having a physiological response of like, ugh. Yeah. And I'm like,

and I'm like having these conflicted ideas about these people and it's like, you know, and that's not to take away from any sort of, um, politics around it or any point of view somebody might have, all for it.

Sure. All for the discussion. Yeah. But I didn't like what a tool I felt like. Yeah. Because I walked right into what Instagram was wanting from me. Oh, God. Yeah.

So that happened. Yeah. Then I went to this festival where I was talking about the documentary. Mm-hmm. And before that happened, I was talking to a very well-known news correspondent person who shared with me how deeply, deeply into social media her child was. Oh, God. And that's a big thing. Yeah, they're starting to make laws.

Yeah. Not in America, but elsewhere, they're making laws about ages and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And there was something in our conversation. and something in a look in her eyes that I really felt so like, ugh. Yeah. And I left there and I just went, goodbye.

And it started this chain reaction of thinking about relationships that I only have on social media. Yeah. How much I've enjoyed looking at cute animals. But what's even better than going to an animal rescue? Yeah. True. You know? Yeah.

And so it started me on this whole spiral. And as I said to Stephanie, I go, maybe I'll be back on and I'll be promoting myself like crazy in a couple of days. But right now, I really am interested in what this is awakening. Yes. Okay. But it started from the gala. This is very cool. What is that connecting with for you?

Also, if I can say, I was on a panel talking about the documentary, which is, look, I had my own wake up in 2012 and you hope those things stay with you. Yeah. And then here I am working on a film around somebody who's having an awakening. Yeah. And then. About being present in the world. About being present. And then I'm like on a press tour talking about it.

And then I'm like, am I, have I really learned the lesson? Yeah. You know? And I'm not saying I have, haven't that I have this figured out. It's just something I want to follow and see how it feels. Yeah. And I want to challenge myself. Please challenge me to, I'm, I'm, what's connecting for me is, what's coming up for me is I'm like, really in awe,

because I'm like, I want to be vegan. I want to go, I want to get rid of Instagram. I say these things all the time. Like, my assistant for my birthday got me a brick that blocks your phone from all these things. Because apparently I'm saying so much, God, I'm addicted. My sleep's bad. It's so miserable. It's so dark on there.

And I know it's bad for me. But then, wait, what's a brick? Oh, it's like a, I actually don't know. I haven't learned yet. But you put it on your phone and I think it disables it for a certain amount of time or something like that. It's like a thing you can put like on your fridge. and it's like you almost like tap your phone with it and then it will like disable your phone

for a certain amount of time. Oh, okay. So you can lock yourself out of your phone. I didn't either. My problem is like I, then I'm like, well, I'm in a shame spiral about it and then that's not doing me any good. So then I try to let go of the, you know,

regret about it and just do it in moderation because I do really, I actually like staying in touch with people that I don't normally or like, and for work, it's so like being on tour and stuff. It's so, there is like a sense of community sometimes. But yeah, all those things you're saying I deeply connect with. And I know I'm so addicted. And look, I might find I get halfway down this road of exploring what this woke up in me. Yeah. And be like, oh, this isn't manageable. Or there's like a way to do it that's better. Because like you also need it for career stuff at

times. Yeah. But I was also thinking like, okay, I have projects and it's It's fun to announce them, but it's like I also don't need to. You know what I mean? Right. It's not, I was really trying to get in touch with. Do I really need, like, if I need to share something with somebody. Yeah. You're in a column now?

Yeah, but I mean, really. But also people will see me in the TV show or the movie or, you know what I mean? And I don't know. I don't know. It's just something I'm exploring. It's a new journey. Yeah, I'm exploring it. I'm interested in this feeling.

Yeah. And I've had certain signs that have bubbled up before this where it just something didn't feel right or congruent. Yeah. And I just thought, especially it hit me like a ton of bricks. Yeah. And then I just thought, I'm just going to do it. I'll live through this too, you know? Well, he boasted because I can't.

Yeah. No, you've posed it to be a tag. Yeah, yeah. I'll let you know. Because the thing about the mat gala is super interesting, because then, because I feel the same where I'm suddenly like, all these people I love and now I have like weird feelings about it and if I kind of wish I didn't even see it. But it also leads into the thought of, yeah.

Sure, you can have conflicted ideas of these choices, but also I'm not living a perfect life. Yeah, yeah. Everything I'm doing is not lined up and congruent with my things. thoughts and feelings and political beliefs. And so that's part of the wake up of, people are complicated. Yeah.

People are complicated. And where is the gray? Yeah. Because you said before, or we've talked about like, it's, yeah, with social media, when that becomes the metric of how political someone is, but you don't know what they're doing in there. But it's like, oh, that person didn't post that thing or didn't share that thing. Yeah.

And that doesn't actually reflect what they're doing. You could be doing something. Yeah. Boots on the ground. Yeah. Donating cash and giving back in other ways. And that's just one way to get your voice out there is through social media. And of course, it's massive.

But it also becomes a junkyard. Yeah. Part of what the person I was talking to was saying, you don't remember what you've seen, what you've read. Yeah. And that's in your brain. And it translates to other parts of your life where you're not fully clocking because of your. Yeah. It is designed to be wildly addictive.

And especially to like kids whose brains are not developed. Oh, man. It's even more addictive. And what I've noticed with the young people that they've said that it gives them a false sense of community. Yeah. So they think they're connected. Yeah. But they're not hanging out with each other.

outside of school. So not, of course, every kid. Right. But there's a number of kids who think they're being in touch with their friends because they talk to them on these game headsets or on the social media. Yeah. They are having conversations just all through tech. Yeah.

But they are not hanging out in person as much. Well, and part of it is that you're not seeing an in-person facial response. Yeah. That is connecting you human to human. Yeah. that I think is really interesting because you're seeing it just on a flat screen. And you think you're saying

where I'm like, oh, that's part of how I stay informed because I do learn about world events on Instagram. But then how can I trust what I'm seeing? Like I should be informed in other ways. I should be reading. But that's the other thing is how do you trust what's popping up? I was about to say, that's becoming harder and harder.

There are so many articles popping up where I'm like, really? That happened? Yeah. And then I go to. the comments and they're like AI, AI, AI. And I'm like, oh my God, like. And is it really AI? Or is it people just saying that's AI? And so it becomes so confusing. And I think I've said, like, part of this crack in me. Yeah. Like, I think I've said on the podcast where I go to post something and

I'm like, who am I talking to? Like, what am I doing? Yeah. Like, what am I? I'm like, hi, look at me. Hi. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you are real cute and funny on there. Sometimes. Yeah, you really are. But I'm also, it reminds me of like one time when my first comedy special came out years ago, friends of mine had had a party for me. Yeah. And I was talking to my friend during the premiere of my special.

And she shushed me. She goes, shush. And I was like, but I'm here right now. Like that, I filmed that months ago. Yeah. Anyway. I like it because it makes, even having the conversation. I think it's good because it makes you be honest with yourself about like, yeah, what am I actually getting from it? Like, when I go to look at people's pages, am I looking at my best friend's pages or am I looking at someone I had an argument with a year ago because I'm curious what they're up to in a kind of high school way? You know what I mean? Like it's for sure. It feeds a weird part of you because it's designed to do that. Yeah. And again, I might be back full throttle like no one's ever seen me tomorrow. Tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The time this comes out. Yeah.

Might be. But I'm just, I'm curious about this road. Yeah, that's cool. You're going with your, how you're feeling right now. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, I thought I would share that. That's an interesting turn of events. I think I just, my first step is going to be to, I just don't need to, I wish phones had a thing

that would detect when you're scrolling. I think they do have a thing on there where you can limit your, in the settings where you can limit your usage. Oh, okay. And it informs, you, like you set

how much you want to see that in a day, and when you've reached that limit, it tells you. Now whether or not, then that's up to you to then be like, okay, reach my limit, phones down, but it does at least make you aware. Yeah.

So you could look into that. It's in the same. Maybe we could have wellness weekend. Yes. This is it. We can't go back to it. I'm so gone home. I'm like named the day. And because, yeah, put our phones away. Are you really? Yes. Like for how many days would you have a wellness weekend? How long as a weekend?

A weekend is what two days? Is it a long weekend? Friday night till Sunday evening. Oh, okay. I'll do that. Sunday evening. I'm free all of August. And Fortune, where are you on the interest?

Because we'll put our phones away. I mean, I'll try my best. But would you actually show up to wellness weekend? Yeah, if you guys were serious about it and it was a plan. What if we promise that we'll do content for the pod there and we'll be. It goes to get productive. I'll post it on my new account. Your secret account.

I mean, I, the only, the only thing I would want is to maybe, like, you're vegan. Yeah. But I would probably want cheese. Like a shark. I don't need the meat part of a shirkoo to read more, just a cheese blade. I love that it's like, can I get a wheel of cheese? As long as you're okay with me eating a brick of cheese. And would you be open to trying to meditate?

and journal and watch the sun come up. Journaling? And share your feeling? Oh, I would share feelings. Don't touch me. Stop. I would share feelings easy. I have no problem sharing feelings.

Great. And what if I... I just don't love pen to paper. Oh, you don't? My hand gets tired. But guys, do you know what's oddly the most fun thought to me? What? Is really waking up to watch the sunrise.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I want that. Okay. Fortune stunned. We'd stay in our sweatlands. I've been waking up much earlier. So that is not too far off.

What if you catch us at, we're fortunate and I wake up and I sneak out. I'm going to the coffee shop. Yeah. Oh, can I still drink coffee? Yeah. Can I have a decaf? What about a sneaky cigarette?

Oh, no. A cigarette? You can have a cigarette on wellness weekend. I know that. This is terribly, terribly gone. It's gone sideways already. I mean a salad.

Ford's going to come and journal and eat a salad And a smoothie as long as there's not berries in it Well we could do baked potatoes we could barbecue Wait is baked potatoes absolutely May I promise we can barbecue a baked potato Love it No problem But I would want sour cream on it

I know that's not a vegan Listen listen it would be a real gesture of like Because I know we're all so busy So here's the other thing We could each orchestrate our wellness weekends. No, our different wellness. What we want and then like

decide as to agree what it will entail? No, we could have three different wellness weekends. Now it's nine days. Oh my God. I have to eat sausages and cheese wheels. I would never make you go non-meat. I would never make you go against your veganism. I wouldn't.

I know you wouldn't, but yeah. I mean, listen. I would make you guys to play game, like maybe do an escape room or like And you know I hate a game. Yeah. But I would do it. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, we would all like try something new. Oh my God. For each other. This kind of thing is what gets me going. Me too, because I like an agenda. I like, we're going to do it. Here's the other thing that I just want to say really fast that I was talking to Stephanie

about today as far as like social media, taking on things, taking in things that you're not wanting and seeking yourself. And then I was realizing also, and the bigger picture. of life that I'm trying to cram and wedge in places I actually find real joy in life around the stuff that isn't bringing me joy. Yeah. And so if you, my plan right now is to clear out the complications that are not bringing me joy so that the priority.

And I know this is, it's like a dream world. Yeah. But for whatever I have control over to make conscious decisions of, I do. want to like our son goes and takes an art class in Korea town on the weekends and whenever I go he has so much joy and I was like man yeah I would love to take an art class here too yeah you know not because I'm an artist I'm definitely craving routine like that like like um yeah like a weekly dinner with the same five people you know or biweekly or whatever yeah yeah they're kind of creating like community for yourself yeah yeah yeah yeah I've been thinking about that consciously yeah yeah I had

lunch with two of my oldest friends from L.A. In that we've been friends for 20 years. And I'm like, I want more of this. You know, like, we just sat there for like almost two hours. And don't you feel like you're trying to cram the good into the stuff that doesn't feel as good as that? Yeah. And I'm just like, God, why don't we do this? Like more, we just sat there outside the.

That's amazing. The restaurant and just chatted. Yeah, it was nice. And then I made me realize like, God, I'm always traveling, always working. I'm like, what is my community now? Because my life has changed so significantly in the last year. It's like, what does this look like going forward? And you have, I'm so building it.

In partnership with Airbnb, let's talk about our travel plans. May, did I tell you I'm planning a fishing trip with my brother? Yes, that's right. So what's the plan? Well, we are going to go with a home that I've found on Airbnb.

I found a place that's right on the water with a sweet deck and a barbecue with a beautiful view. Plus, there's a dock so we can park our boat when we're not out fishing. Fortune, that sounds dreamy. Well, you know, I haven't mentioned this to my brother yet, but there's a dock. also a karaoke machine. So I don't know. Is it weird to do karaoke at the end of a long fishing day? No, that's so normal and so perfect. But here's my question is, are you going to be eating the fish that you're, that you're fission? Honestly, I have no idea about that part, but this place does have an amazing kitchen. So we're definitely going to be cooking something. And that's what I love about Airbnb. If we were staying at a hotel, we would not have any of these amenities.

and we'd have way less space to just hang out. With Airbnb, I know we're going to be making some fun memories for life. Okay, well, I can't wait to hear how the trip goes. Have a blast. And if you're listening, check out Airbnb and go have an adventure. Your outdoor space should feel like you. Mine didn't for the longest time.

I feel like I'm still in the mindset of like saying yes to everything. And yeah, and I'm so grateful and lucky.

But then, yeah, I am, I'm, I'm feeling it. Yeah. Yeah, you're seeking something and it's obvious because you've brought it up a lot on the podcast. Not too much. Have I? No, I'm just saying you have brought it up. Just that you're seeking things. Yeah, you're seeking.

And nature and routine. Yeah. You've mentioned that. Have I? Okay. Yeah. This is what therapy is. It's people going, oh, you've said that before.

And you go, oh, did I? Yeah. Well, it just means it's clearly. in you as a desire. And that's where I'm going back and connecting these dots that I noticed where I was saying things like, I don't want to post

that I don't even know who I'm talking to. Right. You know, it started to feel confusing. Yeah. Anyway, it just was something that I wanted to share that I thought you might be interested in. I love it. Yeah.

Yeah, like I have this, it's so embarrassing that I know no it's not embarrassing these things are designed to be addictive we're just little little people flopping around yeah but like that I know the things that would make me feel like drinking more water

sleeping eight hours a night not be on my phone as much like I know the things but it's just so hard to enact them but I found when I lived with the child I did I my lifestyle was a lot slower time moves slower it was really nice

so I know that's something I want because it does force you to be present or even just living with a partner like a yeah yeah I'm left to my own devices I will I'll watch a lot of survivor I'll watch a lot of reality to me yeah I eat a lot of turkey corn dogs

yeah frozen food section oh my god my fridge that's what you do currently yeah turkey corn dogs are good though not I'm living alone yeah you're just kind of like I don't need a sit down meal I'm just gonna grab a

turkey corn dog and put it in the air fryer. I'm not great at a sit down meal. Really? No, I'm eating on the fly. Yeah. That's something I'd love to do differently. Yeah. Well, we have, you know, things to think about y'all.

Well, this is all going to come up in wellness weekend. Like, we're going to be journaling about our dreams and aspirations. I can't tell you how much I would really love to do it. Well, I was thinking about getting that place in Arrowhead again. That's so beautiful. We can also use my office. You couldn't wait to get out of that. You, like, got there and are already planning to go home and come back.

I had to come back for a few days. I ordered, like, I ordered a lot of stuff up there. $500 with Amazon stuff. That was really crazy. Which brings us back to the Met. I know. Oh, my God. Full circle.

I know. Should we get to our guests? We should. It's a good one. It is. Today's question is brought to you by AT&T. Today's question asker is a writer. and journalist and the former First Lady of California.

She anchored the NBC Nightly News and won a Peabody for her reporting. She won two Emmys for producing the Alzheimer's Project. Her award-winning digital publication is Maria Shriver's Sunday paper. Maria Shriver is asking today's question. Woo-hoo. Nice. Hey, handsome. Hey, handsome.

It's Maria Shriver. Hey, handsome. I like saying that. I actually say that to my boys. Hey, handsome. Anyway, okay, hey handsome. I digress. So thank you for having Beyond.

Thank you for asking me to think of a question for you. So before I get to a question, because I have so many questions. I ask questions for a living. I ask questions of myself every day. So like for me to have one question for you, you know, it's kind of almost impossible. So Lauren, who I work with, she gave me some of these question ideas. If you could interview someone dead or alive and then ask them one question, who would you interview and what would you ask them? Wow, that's really good.

Who would I interview dead or alive? She looks great. She does. She looks good. Yeah, she's looking handsome. Yeah. That's a charismatic person. Yeah.

Wow. Well, you can, you know, tell that she is a pro at asking questions, as she said. She's the real deal. Yeah, seriously. And I think she's also, you know where she stands on most things, I would say. But she's also a reasonable human being is what I find her to be. Isn't the bar so low? And she's a reasonable human being.

Because you never know. I know. A lot of people are not. But it's just, I really love a reason. reasonable human being. Like someone who's open to amending their ideas. Or at least hearing someone out. Yeah, curious about people.

Yeah, that's cool. Getting to the bottom of things. It's a really good. It's like a classic question almost, but I don't think we've had it, but it's such a. I know. I thought the same thing. Yeah.

But it's very good. If you could interview anyone, was it dead or alive? Who would you talk to you? What, the band Dead or Alive? Is that who you? No, Wanted.

Wanted. No, that's not the band. Dead or alive. That's by Jovi. Oh, I know. And that was really good, the way you went up with Alive. Thank you. Yeah, that was great.

Now May is trying to compete. That was good. Well, what about this? I think I know my answer. Okay. And I'm surprised by my answer because I'm such a fan of pop culture and idolize all these people. But I think I'm going with my paternal grandfather, who I never met, It was my dad's dad because I feel like my parents are still kind of mysteries to me in a lot of ways.

All of ours are because you don't know what their childhood was like. And I've heard such great things about him and he was an actor and really funny. Was he related to your grandmother who's an agent? He was her wife. He was her. I can't do that half. He was her husband. He was her wife.

I know we're really open and flexible here on sexuality and gender. He was her husband, sorry. Yeah, my dad's dad. Yeah, the agent's husband. And he had these big bushy eyebrows. Love it already. Yeah, and he was like a character actor. He'd pop up, have like little parts and things.

And whenever I see him in something, there's like four clips that I have. And his comic timing is so good. He's like Peter Sellersy, you know, like Allen Guinness, like that old school. What a shame if you had those eyebrows and had tape. terrible delivery with your comedy. Oh my God, I know. Yeah. What do you do?

You go pluck them, I guess. I guess you, yeah, you shave him off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I think him, because my mom, when she met my dad, was, well, she was Canadian. She came over to England, and she was really self-conscious, like, all these kind of British people, and they all went to good universities, and were all kind of verbose and, like, sort of look down their noses at, like, the Commonwealth a little bit, or just like, you know, but apparently

he was so kind and just like anyone who walked in the room, we'd make them feel really comfortable. Love it. Yeah. And I want to know what my dad was like and just, yeah, chat to him. I know he was a very heavy drinker. So, yeah, I'd sit maybe with a scotch and, yeah. Eyebrows was a heavy drinker. Eyebrows was a very heavy drinker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd have to be. In those days. You got to, well, and also that's cartoon face. And to carry those eyebrows. Yeah, you got to sit down with a drink. Yeah. You know?

Yeah. If they even, they might have made him drink. You know, that might have been what pushed him to drink. The brows. Yeah, he might have been like, this is a lot. Is there a cultural or historical person you would want to interview? Napoleon, I have a lot of questions. Oh, yeah.

I love to see May sit down and question Napoleon. Can you ask you to be in Napoleon? He would speak French. But you would have a translator maybe. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he would never speak English. I don't think so. He hated the Brits so much, right? Well, that would be a cool person for you to interview.

Yeah, a little translator. Yeah, the visual is pretty good. Yeah. Me and old Napoleon, but he didn't like when people showered. He loved stinky people. Yeah, don't shower. That doesn't, it's not going to fly with me. Because you shower twice a day.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And wash her face. Does she? She showers twice a day. Macoochy. Yeah. So we can't clean.

my cooch is clean I did go to the coochie doctor this morning did you? Yeah, all is good there. You seemed. No way. She said my cooch was great. I went to the doctor today too. You did?

Not for the cooch? No, no. Oh, yeah. I mean, listen, it wasn't something I was looking forward to, but it wouldn't. It were fine. And when she was down there and gave me a thumbs up. No, she didn't. Oh my God.

High five, though. That would be amazing if she was like, hey, it's looking good down here. But I was pretty happy that she was like feeling good about what clean as a whistle. Clean as a whistle. Can I change my answer and say I'd interview your gynecologist? Oh, my God. Now, who would you interview, Fortune? I, so on a person, I have personal and then historical.

I would want to interview my grandfather because I never met him. He died unexpectedly when my mom was seven. and he was a very prominent contractor and he built a lot of things around North Carolina like schools and churches and houses that were really beautiful and he built the house

my grandmother lived in and so I just have a lot of questions because I don't know him or that and you'd fill in stuff about your mom and like what do you know about his personality? No, I don't know a lot about him anything about his eyebrows yeah what are his brows?

I told about that either. I think he was very charismatic very successful and he and my grandmother were very philanthropic and But then didn't you say, no it's coming back to me that then after he passed then there was no money but there was a nice house or something

Yeah, well he left them a lot of money but things happened over the years, you know? Shopping sprees? So many shopping sprees And then I would be curious to interview my grandmother's mom because she was the

treasurer of Rutherford County in North Carolina which was very unusual for a woman in those times she was a widow and she, when she was campaigning she had put her kids my grandmother being one of them in a donkey cart and would go around handing out

flyers for her campaign and the men around town were like pissed about it because they felt like she was trying to use her being a widow and her kids to make people feel sorry for her but she kept She kept getting reelected and kept the position for, you know, for a long time. And I just thought that was so cool that a woman in those days, because this is my grandmother's mother.

Whoa. So it's your great grandmother. Yes, like 19. But that was a long outside ago. I know it is. You only need to yell at me about it. Didn't happen with women. And I think that's so badass.

Yeah. That's very cool. I would have questions for her and to know more about my grandmother as a kid. Yeah. And then historically, I mean, it would be kind of interesting to get to talk to Jesus. Yeah. Just because I think of all the conflict that has surrounded the Bible, religion. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I know this is news to you. But I would want to be like, what do you think about all this? Yeah. And be like, what did you actually say? Yeah. What were you in direct words? What did you mean by this? Yeah.

What happened in this scenario? Yeah. What about what in the Bible has been like misinterpret? or, you know, it was also like a game of telephone in the Bible. Of course. There's 400 years after you died, right? So I think that would be a pretty good interview. That would be a good get.

Oh, my God. If we could get Jesus. On handsome hop. Jesus? We need to interview you because we have some questions. Have you seen that guy that looks like Jesus in Los Angeles in Hollywood? Well, he's dead, no. He's been dead for a while.

Oh. But there's so many guys. it looked like Jesus, but there was a guy. Very prominent one for many, many years. He wore a robe, had long hair and a long beard. His name was Kevin. And what would he do? Just walk around?

He wasn't crucified. No. It wasn't actually Jesus, but he did die. It was a couple years ago. Oh, that's sad. But he used to go to the comedy store a lot. Oh, no way. He was just like a...

He was a cool guy. I assumed I hadn't seen him because I got married and had kids and never saw anyone again. Yeah. Well, rest in peace, Kevin. Yeah, rest of peace. Kevin's in heaven. That's right. My ex-girlfriend wrote a song called that.

Kevin's in heaven? Yeah. About someone she knew? No way. Yeah. About her friend's friend named Kevin who passed away and she wrote Kevin's in heaven. Aw. Nice.

Yeah. So, Kevin's in heaven. Song that run. So far we got grandparents, Napoleon and Jesus. Napoleon actually is second only to Jesus in the amount of books that have been written about him because he's such a divisive and complex figure. Oh. Yeah. We didn't have a lot of questions for them.

Yeah. Yeah. But I'd probably go blank and be like, how are you? But I don't, do you think Jesus would want to be on camera or he would be like, this is off the record? I think Jesus liked a bit of attention. I mean, he must, he was giving speeches and, you know, like, he was out there. I think he would have been like, great, get the message.

I would want to ask him about gays. Yeah. I would be curious to see what his thoughts were. And he, you know, he could be like, no thanks. Or he could be like, love is love. I feel like it would be that. That was his whole message, right? I mean, that's what I believe.

Yeah. He was friends with... He was friends with all the outliers. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was a rebel. Mm-hmm. So I think that'd be a good get. Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh. Yeah. How about you? Put them on the handsome pod for sure. Yeah. Yeah, what'd you go out? Well, I mean, my personal one, I mean, my mother. Yeah.

My mother died so unexpectedly. Mm-hmm. And I, you know. Yeah. You didn't have time to ask all those questions you did. Yeah. It's that sad story of like, God, I thought, I thought, you know. Yeah.

How old was she when that happened? 65. Yeah, man, that's tough. And so, yeah, I have so, especially as I get older and now that I'm married and I'm a parent. Yeah. It, like, really came in big time for me. I'm sure, yeah. Really came in.

big time. Yeah. You know, I'd be curious to talk to my father, but my father is a little bit of a big talker. Right. And, and, um,

and, like he'd get, go, get off on one, like he'd start talking and you'd be like, okay, we don't have a lot of time for this interview. Um, no.

No, like I think. Like up talking things? Yeah, he, um, oh gosh. Like,

do you think you'd be up? I had a, a character in my TV show, one Mississippi. Yeah. That was my father. Yeah. And in that,

he was a part of the Mississippi Mafia Right. Which my father claimed to be. Remember I told you he carried a pistol and a knife in his cowboy bits? Yes, Pasquale. Yeah, Pasquale, no tar. Yeah. But sometimes I wasn't quite sure where it was like...

If that was true. He liked to really, I think, embellish. Like, I think there were some real parts of his stories. Yeah, yeah. But I think there were also he liked to seem kind of like he was involved in some stuff. Yeah. And he had some stuff going on.

Right. And he can't talk about this. But I remember just sitting, he surprised me at a show in Virginia and we went out to IHOP. I told you. And he was telling me all these stories. And you can, there's something there, but it was also a little like. A little, yeah. Yeah, just like, just kind of something where I'm like, okay, what is.

real and what are you embellishing to make a really great story? Yeah. So, but I think more so than anything, my mother, um, because of everything marriage and children and family has brought up. Right. Um, and then I mean, gosh, how great to sit down with Maria Shriver and just, uh, pick her right. Yeah. You can do that. Right. Right. I could do that. Um, but you know, actually who, um, really pops up for me is I am endlessly blown away by the mind of Emily Saylears. I just had lunch with her. I know. Yeah.

That's so funny. As a songwriter, what she does, I think is extraordinary. Yeah. I think it is extraordinary. And I just would love to, I could never understand what she does or how she does it. Yeah. Because it is that gift. Yeah.

But I'm truly in awe. I'm truly in awe. I bet she'd feel the same about stand-up. Like musicians are always saying that. Yeah. She's like, well, how do you do what you do? Yeah. I'm in awe of what you do.

I don't want to talk about me. I truly just want to be like Emily. Well, I have a bunch of questions. I have that. She's like deflected. She's very humble. Very humble. And she's like.

Commit to like having to answer. You start tooting her horn a little bit. She's like, no, no, no. Yeah. But, but like I don't, like, it's so many people you can write, and look, I love a love song. Yeah. But so much about the world and life and experiences, thoughts, feelings that aren't typical, obvious themes she'll write about. Yeah.

And make it rhyme. Yeah, that's wild. And make it catchy. Uh-huh. Yeah. And I'm just, I mean, obviously, Amy Ray, the other part of the Indigo Girls, brings the entire other half of this. But I'm just talking from like a, yeah, the poetic side of Emily. Isn't it funny?

Relentlessly blows my mind. Yeah. It makes me laugh like what suckers we are for rhyming as human beings. Like you put a sentiment, but make it rhyme. Then people are getting tattooed. It's like, it stays with you if it rhymes. It's like it burns it into you. Yeah.

But also, sometimes she doesn't rhyme. Yeah. Whatever. And we're like, no thanks. I mean, Alyssa is up there for me. Like, I just because I'd want to ask her about spirituality and, yeah, songwriting and just what her 90s was like. Yeah, yeah. That would be up there for me.

Well, I think we're going to see Emily moving into even more writing because, you know, she shared. Yeah. She and Amy shared on social media. Right. Emily's having some health complications that's affecting her voice. And so they're figuring that out. But, yeah, I can see a world in which she really leans into writing even more, which will be cool to see what she comes out with. I'm here for anything this woman writes.

Same. Yeah, I'm all in. Should we see what Maria has to say? Yes, yeah. Well, I probably interviewed Mary. I really thought she was going to say. Virgin Mary. Yes.

I have so many questions for her. Yes. I have a lot of questions for Mary. From the very beginning, all the way to the very end. I mean, I have so many. You must have some questions for Mary. I don't even know if I can get into all the questions I have for her. Bye, handsome.

Yeah, Mary would be a good one too. Oh, yeah. Get Mary and Jesus. Well, there's a lot of mystery around the, you know. That could be your regular weekly dinner. Yeah. Oh, Mary and Jesus are coming over for spaghetti. Yeah.

We dig into things a little bit more each week. Yeah, we give him, he turns the water to wine. We got him a little tipsy. That is nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that.

He'd be a cheap date. You just need one fish, right? It would. Yeah. He doesn't seem like he would eat much. Oh, yeah. And you fish. Yeah.

You could bring the fish. That's right. Yeah. Oh. I used to fish. Anyway. Well, I have to say complete delight. Absolute delight.

It never, ever isn't a delight to do this in person. I know. In a perfect world, it would always be in person. It is so, it is so nice. I'm going to kiss your actual hand. Fortune kissed my hand. Did you just end me? I'm never going.

No, no, I'm sorry. It's just because, please, please. Thank you, Fortune. I got an eh. Well, because my name was proud. And I thought you probably don't, oh, I have to reach it out for. I thought I was letting you off the hook because you thought, oh, God, now I got a kiss me. You got an eh from May, and then I didn't actually kiss your hand.

I kissed mine. So you didn't get much of anything from this. Yeah. Next time. No, you always got your corn dogs waiting for you. I'm a turkey corn dog. And your tits out tub. Tits out tub.

Well, that was a real delight. She was. I wish we all live together in a big house with a fireman's pole and we slide down in the morning. We can do that on wellness weekend. You sure can. I can put a wellness, a wellness pole, a fire pole at my office if we stay there for wellness weekend. I think if we're doing it, we should go to nature. That's my feeling.

If we're in L.A., we're going to be tempted. You've seen the backyard of my office. It is pretty beautiful. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, either way. I don't have a Palm Springs wellness weekend. I'd do that or Joshua Tree. It's a little hot.

Now, all of my tour dates, you can find at tignotaro.com. Please go there and check it out. I'm going to be in Europe soon with Berlin, Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, London, and Dublin.

What were you saying? Gulf. Golf. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We've filmed in a little cute. There's a cute little downtown. Yeah, really nice. But I've never done a music festival. So if you're near Yellowknife or Guelph, like the nightmare is you're playing outside and there's 20 people, right? So please. Don't do that to me. Don't do that to me. Don't do that to me. Don't do that to me in Europe either. I need our European handsome folks to get tickets. How do people get sleep? They just wear eye masks? Yeah. Or blackout curtains? Blackout curtains, I guess. Yeah, it's going to be wild. And that's year round in Guelph
