And I am your very, very dear friend.
Also a host on the HandsomePod.
Take Notaro.
Woo. We're back together. It Notaro. Woo.
We're back together.
Oh, it's been a while.
It feels good.
You guys are both in Toronto.
I'm away from you.
I feel like a piece of me is missing.
Two pieces.
Yeah.
Tig, that's right.
Two crucial pieces.
Yeah.
Yeah.
May, how's filming going?
Oh, it's going well.
Thank you.
Yeah. I got like three weeks left? Oh, it's going well. Thank you.
Yeah, I got like three weeks left and yeah, I've like finally hit my groove right near
the end of the shoot.
You're like, I got this down.
I think I got this.
Yeah, I'm having a great time.
I saw Lisa Gilroy today.
Lisa Gilroy, yes.
And Atlanta Johnson.
I think they both saw a clip or something of your show and they're like, this looks incredible.
Really? Well, okay, Lisa Gilroy and Atlanta Johnson were both at my house last night because
I was closing the bear portal finally. And they came over to paint bears. And then next
thing you knew, everybody left and just the three of us watched that new M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Trap.
Yeah, it was a real blast.
Did you get scared?
I spent about 20 minutes deciding
whether I was gonna scare Lisa.
Like I had a whole plan to go out of the room
and secretly exit the house and go around to the window.
And then I thought, you know what, I don't know.
Does Lisa scare easily?
Yes, and I'm thinking the one time that she got scared
and she did burst into tears.
So I thought, I don't want that.
We're in one of those immersive horror things
that I make people go to.
Yeah.
You two are pranksters.
I don't do the pranks.
Yeah, you don't like a spook as much.
I don't like scaring people.
Oh, okay.
You just like being silly.
Yeah, I like not just being silly,
but teeing myself up to look very foolish.
Yes.
Yes.
How's your filming going?
Have you had any?
Well, I'm just working a lot with Holly Hunter.
That scared me. Get out on the deck.
We've got the space to save the space.
We got to save the space.
I feel like, I don't know.
I don't know why I'm getting, um, faster speech from her.
Cause I feel like, well, I'm not hearing her be like,
we gotta save the space.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, like she'd be like.
She's more on it.
Like a little more jacked up.
Yeah.
Is kind of how it feels.
She's had a Dr. Pepper.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
You got, when you're saving space, you gotta be,
you gotta be jacked.
I think it's called the space.
Sorry, when you're saving the space, you gotta be oned. I think it's called The Space. Sorry, when you're saving the space,
you gotta be on it. Thank you.
Yeah, you gotta save the space.
You can't just dilly dally.
You gotta get out there and save that space.
I was never really into science as a kid,
so that's why I don't know more about the space.
I thought you were gonna say you were never really
into Holly Hunter, and I was gonna say-
Oh no, I'm definitely into Holly Hunter.
Do not talk about the star of Starfleet Academy.
Like Starfleet Academy.
Definitely into Holly Hunter.
Holly Hunter is Stephanie's favorite actor
across the board, no ifs, ands or buts.
I get it.
Raising Arizona, come on now.
Oh, Raising Arizona, yeah.
I wish I had that kind of certainty about anything.
Like this is my favorite actor.
It would be so relaxing to just know.
I kind of feel that way about the Beatles.
I'm like, they are my favorite and that's calming to me.
I feel that way about Kelly Clarkson.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Had a power ballad.
There's a lot of space news going on
because we have two moons at the moment.
Did you see that?
Oh, no.
Wait, are you about to moon us?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Go to YouTube right now.
Go to YouTube right now.
Maze pants are down.
Full moon.
That would be the best.
I call it a full main.
Main.
The best setup ever.
Did you guys hear we have two moons at the moment?
And then you pull your pants down and ass right in the zoom.
Right in the zoom.
But I did, when they announced it so casually, they're like, oh yeah, we're going to have
two moons for the next like couple of months.
And it's like, what?
No one ever said, oh, at some point we might have two moons.
Like that, like it feels a bit.
You needed a heads up.
I needed a heads up. Yeah. Yeah. You can't just spring two moons like that. Like it feels a bit. You needed a heads up. I needed a heads up. Yeah.
Yeah. You can't just spring two moons on May.
I know if you were to see them.
One of them is the size of a school bus.
So I think it's too small to see, but I don't get why.
So it's orbiting us for like a month and a half and then it's just going to go away.
Like not to be a conspiracy theorist, but this sounds like aliens.
Mm hmm. I have to be really honest with everybody right now.
Do it.
Here we go.
I never heard about two moons.
You got to get online.
Is it in the news?
Yeah.
Well, truth be told, I have been staying away from the news as of late.
Today is election day.
Go vote.
Whatever you do.
Go vote.
Listen to our podcast and then go vote. Whatever you do. Go vote. Listen to our podcasts and then go vote.
We encourage everyone to exercise your freedom to vote because ladies and gents,
you got to vote.
And everyone in between.
Pretty little ladies, pretty little ladies.
Yeah.
And our dudes listening, go vote.
Please go vote.
But I stay away from the news because it's just been conspiracy theory to the nth degree for
a while.
It is so crazy how conspiracy theories used to be so...
Fringe.
So fringe.
Yeah.
And now it is...
Oh, go ahead.
I feel like...
I mean, maybe I'm part of the problem.
Oh, for sure you are.
For sure I am.
Because you'll see it.
I see it. I see it. I see like, I mean, maybe I'm part of the problem.
Oh, for sure you are.
For sure I am.
Because I see a news headline that's like, top scientists have figured out how to travel
backwards in time, and then you just keep scrolling.
And I think any day now something crazy is going to happen.
That second moon is going to descend. I think I'm so like in the like what we're
dealing with on a daily basis just from the climate stuff and the weather stuff and the
hurricanes and the politics and you know what I mean? Like all of it. It's not just the
hurricane. It's all of it combined and the politics and the division
and the fighting and the guns and the,
it's like I can't also handle the conspiracy theories
on top of what is already.
I thought you were gonna say you can't also handle
a second moon moving in.
I think that's fair.
The moon I can handle, there are worse things.
I can handle a school bus size moon, okay?
Throw that at me any old day.
Yeah.
I think it must be, I wonder if it's like on purpose
to distract us from all the real problems.
They're like, well, there's a second moon,
or maybe I just, as escapism, so I don't have to face all the really pressing problems. I'm like, what about this moon guys?
I think it might be more for you to escape because I don't know that a lot of people
out there are like, oh man, you hear about that second moon? How are we going to keep
going? There's a lot to process. It was a big- Thomas, were you aware
of the second moon?
I knew about the second moon, yes.
See, the Canadians love the moon story.
It was a big topic of conversation last night
when we were doing our bear paintings,
talking about the second moon.
And would you guys like to see my bear painting?
We would absolutely. I've already seen it.
Have you? Yeah, Lisa showed me.
Oh, okay, Okay. Wow.
I don't know how I feel about that. With the inside scoop of the bear paintings. Oh, way
to attack me, Fortune, about seeing a bear painting before you did. I don't need you
to show it to me because my best friend Lisa already showed it to me. Yeah. Me and Lisa
are really close and she's like, hey, look at May's bear painting and here's mine.
And don't tell fortune.
Well, you guys.
Sorry, sorry, things got real nasty.
The elections pulling everyone apart.
I know.
It's the gravitational pull of the second moon.
It's fucking with all of our internal fluids and waters.
Definitely the moon, not the pending election.
Yeah.
Okay, so this was, I was worried about painting
the wrestling bear, Caesar, and then I checked with Raph,
that woman who did the Malochio spell,
if you're just listening to the pod for the first time.
This is not anything new.
Yeah, this is part of a saga.
It's like a bear journey.
This is, I think, now the saga's ending,
so this is my bear. Whoa, that's really of a saga. I just had a bear journey. This is, I think, now the saga's ending, so this is my bear.
Whoa, that's really good, May.
Thank you so much.
He's wearing a Caesar crown,
because his name is- He looks like a bear wolf.
Oh, yeah, I see that.
Yeah, here's his face.
I would say barely looks like a wolf.
Bear wolf.
Bear wolf. That's what we call him.
Bear wolf.
That's really good.
Bear wolf. And so the painting was part of the release That's what we call them. Beowulf, that's really good. Beowulf.
And so the painting was part of the release
to get it out.
You'll notice like in the painting,
the bear is like really releasing its rage,
which is what the real wrestling bear never did.
He was so docile and placid,
and I feel like I got to release my inner bear rage,
and so I painted it.
I feel good.
I might give the painting to Joe.
That's what I think I might do.
That would be nice.
Joe the button maker.
My name is Joe.
I've got a wife and three kids and a family.
And I push buttons.
So you, you feel like you release some inner rage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But there's the coincidences continue
because my friend brought a bear painting over
that she's had for 15 years.
And we're looking at the painting
and then on the back we see it says,
For Jesse the Elder.
And we're like, what?
You can imagine this electrifies me.
Then it's like the artist assigned it, Mike Junot.
And we're talking about this,
and then my buddy Jason comes over,
just my random buddy Jason, and he goes,
oh, I know Mike Junot.
We go, what?
He goes, yeah, yeah, because she goes,
I bought it at a yard sale 15 years ago.
And Jason goes, let me text Mike Junot,
texts him, goes, did you paint this bear?
He goes, yeah, guess what Mike Junot's job is now.
He's a wrestler.
For real.
So anyway, I think that closed the loop.
Yeah.
Are you feeling better?
Much.
Yeah.
Do you paint?
I feel like painting just for fun for a couple hours.
You light a candle, you sit.
Do you do that with your kids, Tig?
Well, I was going to say, you know, Max and Finn, of course, do art and painting because
they're children.
But Max, we call it his art studio and it's this table set up in our driveway.
And he just sets up all of the paint and he just he'll come home from school, put his
backpack down, walk out to the driveway and just start painting.
And it's really incredible just that he has that interest
in drive.
Yeah, I kind of understand art therapy now
because I'm like something about just pushing colors around.
It's really nice.
People love it.
I am not a big painter or drawer, but when presented with the opportunity,
I've found that I really thrive. One recent example being that Chili's, baby back ribs.
They have a thing where you can color a chili pepper, not the band, an actual pepper.
Yeah, sure.
And they raised money for St. Jude's.
They sent me some markers to paint a pepper to go on.
A real pepper?
No, like a picture of a pepper.
Oh cool, and what was your style?
So I went gay.
Yeah, that checks out.
And made the pepper of the rainbow flag.
The headquarters of Chili's is in Texas.
My pepper was going to go be sent to Texas to be put in one of their stores.
I thought, you know what?
I'm going to send a little gay chili pepper to Texas.
They do have gay people in Texas.
They sure do.
And gay people love chilies.
Love a triple dipper.
I've never been.
That's my go-to.
You've never been to Texas?
You've never been to chilies?
Either.
I've never been to Texas.
You've never been to Texas or chilies?
No.
What?
I know.
I know.
I'd love to. Well, we'll have to solve the Texas one for you at some point.
And we can solve the Chili's situation for you as well when you're back home.
What did you say?
You had a triple dipper?
Yeah, May.
What is a triple dipper?
What is that?
Oh, my friends.
Thank God you asked.
Now Tig's not going to be interested in this.
I don't think there's a lot of vegan food at Chili's.
I bet they have a salad.
So Triple Dipper, and it's very popular on TikTok right now, but I've been an OG lover of Triple Dipper my entire life.
It's an appetizer at Chili's where you can pick three of their appetizers, hence the Triple Dipper.
And all three of those apps have a sauce you can dip it in, hence the dipper.
Is one of them like mozzarella sticks with the marinara?
Not only is there a mozzarella situation, mozzarella stick situation where you can get the OG original with marinara sauce,
they now have, and I'm not sponsored by Chili's.
Oh my god. Wait, when not sponsored by Chili's. Oh my God. This is just so funny.
When were you at Chili's last?
It's been a minute, it has been a minute.
What's a minute, like a week or a year?
Like six months probably.
You're due for another, we should go.
I'm due for a dipper, I'm due for a dipper for sure.
Now they have mozzarella sticks
with either a Nashville hot sauce
or some kind of like honey bourbon glaze
or something like that.
And according to the kids on TikTok, they love them.
It's so weird that TikTok is celebrating,
it's like, we gotta get on board of this triple dipper.
It's been a resurgence.
It's weird, these youngins on TikTok,
they find these things
and they act like they've just discovered them.
They're like, what's this?
This trouble, what is this?
Oh my God.
And I'm like.
They might have just discovered it.
I think they might have,
but I've been going there since I was five.
So you love chilies.
Yeah, they have Southwest, Southwest,
Southwestern egg rolls, which are amazing.
They have honey chicken crispers,
which is a chicken tender with this like sweet honey sauce.
This is exactly my type of palate.
This is perfect for me.
All right, May, we'll go.
And you were correct in that it's not quite up my alley.
Let's face it, saving money can be tough.
So when there's an opportunity to save, you got to take it.
Here's an easy one.

And it smells like baby back ribs,
so I just feel like that would be mean to take you. Wait, can we, Fortune, can we tell Tic,
because we did a mini-sode and one of the questions
really stuck with me, which was,
if you were one food and one beverage, what are you?
Right, it's like one food and one drink.
And what did we say?
Fortune was like...
I was what my friend told me I was, which was a chicken sandwich and a Shirley Temple.
But Mae thought I was milk and chocolate chip cookies and either of those I think apply.
But Shirley Temple, I really see.
You're a Shirley Temple.
And then I can't remember what I was, but then yeah, what do you think you are?
Well, I'm going to go ahead and be a Roy Rogers.
Oh, we said, I think Thomas said water.
I said a glass of cold water.
Who me?
Thomas said, yeah, water.
It's kind of the only thing I drank is water.
Yeah, I think that's why Roy Rogers is what?
Whiskey.
I don't even know what it is.
Wait, is it Coke and maybe Mar and maraschino cherry juice.
All the grenadine.
Yummy.
That's what's in the Sprite.
I mean, a Shirley Temple.
Grenadine and Sprite.
I guess it's that that's in a Coke, is Roy Rogers.
I'd said you'd be a salad maybe.
No, you know, I'd be, here's what I'd be.
I'd be a kombucha, a ginger, ginger kombucha. And I would be a delicious
grain bowl.
Oh my god.
Okay.
A grain bowl.
Yeah, there'd be like mushrooms, quinoa. What are they? Sweet potatoes, broccoli. God,
yes. Avocado. Hello, grain bowl. That's me.
Hello, grain bowl. I's me. Hello grain bowl.
I thought, I think I said for you maybe one of the,
you described that like date dessert one time.
Oh yeah.
My friend makes those after listening to our handsome pod.
Does she love him or what?
It's a gay boy, a gay man, and he loves,
absolutely loves him.
And I went to a party at Karen Kilgara's house which
she were invited to a couple months back and he brought them to that party.
Were they a hit? They were fantastic. Because anytime I've brought them or I've made
them at a party people are like what what is this? Oh dates I don't know it and I'm
like just cork it.
It was Zagnoe Towers.
Very funny comedian.
He made them after listening to the handsome pod.
Yeah, it's really good.
But I still stand by.
I'm a ginger kombucha and a delicious grain bowl.
Yeah, you know what?
I have realized that I do love food that comes in a bowl.
I do too.
Yeah, I did find I did realize that about myself.
There used to be a place in LA called Grain Lab
and it's no longer, or they sold it.
It's not this, I don't know if what's the deal with it now,
but it used to just be these bowls with like veggies
and I would get, I do eat meat, I apologize.
Hey. And it was like a chicken and couscous bowl
or like a steak and sweet potato bowl.
And it was like my favorite thing in the world to eat.
And I only want my food in bowls now.
I got made fun of,
because if I order takeout like Vietnamese or something,
I got like a pho or like a one of those,
like a bun, you know, a noodle salad thing. I wanna eat it out of like a or something. I get like a pho or like a one of those, like a bun, you know, a noodle salad thing.
I wanna eat it out of like a trough.
Like I sometimes get like a giant pot
that you would cook pasta in, like a metal pot,
and I'll just dump everything in there.
I'm gonna spoon.
You just wanna all mix them together and stuff?
Yeah, cause I don't wanna, it won't all fit on one plate.
And I don't wanna do, you know, one plate then.
I have a question.
Yeah, sure.
Is it called pho or pho?
I thought it was.
It's definitely pho, you're right.
It's pho.
I get embarrassed because I feel like I'm being like croissant.
Like, you know what I mean?
So I just say.
Oh, I see.
That makes sense because I've spent a good amount of time
in Australia doing shows.
Oh my God, that's so funny that you brought that up, Tig, because I too spent a lot of time.
Wait, that's inside.
Who were you with?
I was with Jennifer Lopez.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And there was lots of things to do in Australia.
Yeah.
Wow.
No, no, I'm not from Australia.
I know it's very hard to tell from the accent.
Tigg, were you starting to become Australian?
Yeah, do the accent, Tigg.
I was with Jennifer Lopez and we, of course, were riding kangaroos.
Kangaroos? You had to watch out for razor blades.
Yeah, a lot of razor blades.
Wait, what's that reference?
It's just the only easy word to say
in an Australian accent, razor blades.
Razor blades.
And do you know how I learned this?
And this is gonna be, a lot of people
probably know this trick, but if you don't know this trick,
you can convince somebody for like two seconds that you can speak an Australian accent if you say,
raise up lights. Raise up lights. Raise up lights.
Say it. Raise up lights. Oh, right. And it sounds, if you say it fast, it sounds like...
Yeah, you got to put it together fast. Raise up lights.
Raise up lights.
Do you guys?
Are you guys Australian?
Yeah, you're not. You're not.
Did you make this up?
No, someone told me about it years ago.
Rise up lights.
See, but put it together faster.
Rise up lights.
But with the intention of it sounding like...
Rise up lights.
Oh my God.
I thought we're all Australian listeners right now are dying.
We're throwing up.
Raise up blades.
They're like these stupid.
American and Canadian hosts.
Raise up lights.
Raise up lights.
Raise up lights.
And then if you put it all into one thing
and don't like enunciuncie, rise a blades.
But now you're not saying raise up lights at all.
I know.
Say rise, raise.
Say rise.
Rise.
Say rise.
Rise.
Up.
Rise up.
Rise up.
Take the P off of it.
Can't we just say rise up?
Rise up.
Rise up.
Rise up.
Lights. Lights. But go, blot, blot, blides. Can we just say Riza? Riza. Riza. Riza.
Lights.
Lights.
But go, blights.
Blights.
Riza blights.
This is, I want my money back is what I want.
Yeah, me too.
I truly, I thought that you guys were, I thought that the sentence like to learn an Australian
accent was-
You guys are closer to an Australian accent than you've ever been by saying, raise up
lights.
Jennifer Lopez?
See?
That's what I thought.
Jennifer Lopez.
You guys were saying a sentence that was designed to give you an Australian accent.
Jennifer Lopez?
Which was, I was with Jennifer Lopez.
What were we talking about?
See?
Oh, I brought up Australia not to go down this weird road.
Sue me.
Sue me.
Okay.
I'll see you in court. We're going to have some listeners going,
oh my gosh, Tig is suing Fortune. Tig, eat my ass. Gladly. Hey, eat my ass. Say that. Say,
say, ate. And you, and you have to have the last part sound like a question. Eat my ass.
And you have to have the last part sound like a question. Eat my ass?
Eight.
Eight.
My.
My.
Ass.
Ass.
Eight my ass.
We apologize to all of our Australian listeners.
We love you.
Even listeners everywhere else where they're listening.
All I wanted to say is I understand what you're saying, May,
about ph and foe because after spending so much time in
Melbourne, all of the locals say Melbourne and you sound so weird being an American in Australia
saying it's I love your city Melbourne you know and then I left Australia and I was like, oh yeah, I was in Melbourne
and people like Melbourne and I'm like, you can't win.
You can't win.
You're right.
You can't win.
I want to win.
I want to win so bad.
I want you both to win.
Thank you.
You don't have to say it back.
Raise up lights.
In fact, I don't.
Raise up lights.
I don't want you to say it back. Raise up lights. In fact, I don't. Raise up lights. I don't want you to say it back.
Anywho. Well, should we get to our question? Yeah, let's get to our question.
Yeah, correct. I'm a massive deep fan. We're all deep fans of this person.
Yes, we are. Who isn't?
Today's questioner is an actress, comedian, and writer who became one of the most beloved SNL cast members of all time over the course of her six years on the show.
She won the Spirit Award for best supporting actress and her for her role in other people and has appeared in films, including Happiness and Wet Hot American Summer, as well as TV shows like The Other Two, White Lotus.
Molly Shannon is asking today's question.
two, White Lotus, Molly Shannon is asking today's question. Oh, she's the best.
I just could go on about Molly forever.
She is such an influence on my comedy.
I know because growing up like her cast like the Will Ferrell cast
and Sherri O'Tary, they were they were like my people.
Yeah, same. I thought they were the cast for me as well.
And I have to say, one of my absolute favorite movies
of all time is Happiness.
Oh really, one of my favorite movies of all time
is Superstar.
Superstar is pretty amazing.
It's so good when she makes out with that tree
and she's so committed to it.
So committed.
And it's so embarrassing and she's's just being like talking dirty to this tree
and being like, you're a bad boy.
It's so good.
I lost my shit.
I think I've told you all of this before
but I have the absolute pleasure of living
in the same neighborhood as Molly.
And she rides her bike around the neighborhood.
She is a fixture in our neighborhood
with her little bike and her basket.
And it is such a treat to see her just peddling around,
just like the mayor of our neighborhood.
Cause she's such a like present person.
You'll talk to her, she's looking in the eyes
and she's very passionate about talking to you.
And when I was in high school, I would like have like little moments of being funny She's looking in the eyes and she's very passionate about talking to you.
When I was in high school, I would have little moments of being funny or try to be a performer.
For my senior year, we had a talent show that you could sign up for.
I dressed up as Mary Katherine Gallagher and just basically did her sketch in the talent
show.
And that was like my first taste of performing.
Were you wearing a roller blights?
No, no roller blights, cause I didn't want to fall.
But I had the whole Catholic school girl outfit,
the long wig.
Oh my God.
Did like the hands in the armpits
and the smelling of them.
And sometimes when I get nervous,
I put my hands under my arms and then I smell them.
Do you remember when she is confessing to the priest
in the confessional and he says,
"'What are your sins?' or whatever.
And she says,
"'Father, I think my feelings would best be expressed
in a monologue from a Sissy Spacek movie.'"
And she does a dramatic monologue.
That's so insane. Meredith Baxter-Burney or something like that.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, God.
Because she just commits so hard to these characters.
And Sally O'Malley, anytime a friend turns 50,
I'm so giddy to be like, I'm 50, 50 years old.
And I like to kick and stretch and kick because I'm 50.
I feel like we've found a way to say that on the pod a bunch of times.
I don't know why.
It's like one of our main quotes.
But yeah, she's unbelievable.
And I've seen her in social situations, but I've never, I don't think I've ever told
her just how much I love her.
So maybe she'll listen to this one day and she'll know.
We love you, Molly.
We love you.
Every single person alive loves Molly Shannon.
End of story.
End of story.
Should we hear her question?
Yes. Please.
Hello, handsome podcast, it's Molly Shannon. and my question for all of you today is, and
it's a very serious question.
When you are leaving a party, do you say goodbye on your way out or do you do the Irish exit,
the quick say no goodbye exit?
That's my question.
All right.
That's a really good one.
An Irish.
Why do you think they call it an Irish exit?
I don't know, cause I've heard it called
a French exit as well.
I've heard a few different exits.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe in Ireland, they're just never,
they say top of the morning and they never say
Top of the morning to you.
Bottom of the night.
Bottom of the night.
Bottom of the night.
Well, I will say that they the morning to you. Bottom of the night. Bottom of the night. Bottom of the night. Bottom of the night.
Well, I will say they're probably too drunk.
Yeah.
What?
Are you allowed to make fun of them being drunk
if you're not Irish?
I don't know.
Or are you Irish?
I am Irish.
Oh, I thought you were Italian.
Irish Italian.
Are you only one thing?
As an Irish person that doesn't ever leave parties drunk.
I feel like my fellow Irish folk maybe stumble out and they can't
find anyone to say goodbye to.
Saying goodbye, I don't know if this is at every party or if this is an LA thing,
but it is like a 45 minute process.
Yeah.
It is so long and I will have to gear up for it.
Like we went to a thing, we went to this charity event last night and I had to,
I had to say to Jax, all right, we need to go, let's go say goodbye to Arnold.
Let's go say goodbye to Heather.
We got to say, like I'm doing an exit strategy of like,
and it's still 45 minutes later, we're leaving.
I do say goodbye.
You do?
I do.
I do say goodbye when I leave
and do my thank yous and everything.
But I kind of, that's kind of my favorite part
of being at a party is being like, okay, it's time
to leave, let's go say goodbye.
Because then you have a mission and you don't get stuck talking to a weird person.
You just like, you go in and you say goodbye, you talk to the host and the people that you
know and then you bolt.
Because if you're in the middle of a party and you don't really know anybody or you
don't, you know, some people, you know, you're just a sitting duck and I am not
somebody that needs to be babysat or talk to at a party or anything.
I like to sit and watch, you know?
Yeah.
I respect that a lot.
Yeah.
And then when it's time to go, I love to get up
and be lying over and do my goodbyes. And that is the most fun. I'm an Irish Exeter in a big way.
I think partly because I have no boundaries. So that's prime time when I'm saying goodbyes to just
be making promises I can't keep, writing checks I can't cash. I'm saying, hey, it was so good to see you. So let's hang out tomorrow.
They were like, let's, like, we gotta do that thing,
you know, and so I ended up just making all these promises.
And then, so when I do an Irish Exit,
I really appreciate the friends in my life
who give me grace.
Like the other night I had,
I hosted like a kind of cast gathering
and I booked karaoke for an after party. I knew I wasn't going to go. In my heart, it was like late. I was tired and everyone was like,
okay, karaoke. And I was the one that organized it. And I went, yeah, yeah, I'm going to meet you
guys there. I'm just going to go. And I knew, and my friend looked at me and was like, you're not
coming, right? And I was like, no. And she said, I give you grace. She said, don't worry about it.
You know what I mean? And she let me do this, my lie and say,
no, I'm just stopping at home.
That's so funny though that you-
Was your friend Jennifer Lopez?
Jennifer Lopez?
Yeah, yeah.
But has there ever been a part of you
that as you've gotten older that where you're like,
maybe I should just not tell people
I'm going to do the thing I'm, no, I'm not gonna do.
That's my lifelong journey for sure. For sure.
Yeah.

As soon as summer is over, I usually give up on shaving.
It feels like a chore.
But this summer, I started using the Athena Club razor and I'm obsessed.
I actually look forward to shaving now.
Not only is the razor gorgeous, it's also incredibly gentle on my skin, leaving it moisturized,
super smooth and bump-free.

skin all year long.

razors online, but they're also available at your local Target. Show your skin you care with the

Because there'll be some.001% of me that's like,
yeah, maybe I'll get a second win,
but I know deep down I won't.
But I always assume that you're always
on your second and third win
because don't you stay out all night and do-
Do you?
No, no.
Maybe when we started this pod, I was doing that.
Now I'm working too much,
but maybe I'm heading back into a while.
Are you a late night goose?
Used to be.
Yeah, I mean, I stay up late,
but I'm usually just reading sad poems and things.
Stay up late reading sad poems.
Poems.
Poems.
Yeah, I'm definitely running on fumes though, that's true.
And over-
Yeah, you get those eight hours.
Last night I was too busy watching Josh Hart,
and I slept like five hours.
My God, I would kill to sleep five hours.
Really?
Oh my God, I'm going on like three.
Seriously? Yes. From the night sweats from the onesie.
I'm a full blown menopause.
I'm like, man, I'd give anything for five hours.
Really?
I love a good seven or eight hour night's sleep.
Listen, what I would do for seven hours.
I've been getting seven or eight the last couple of weeks and it's nice.
That's really nice.
Look at this face.
Cause you know what, if you don't sleep for like, it's not long.
Oh, sorry.
I'm looking at that face.
Yeah.
Go to YouTube right now if you want to see Fortune's face. Thanks to 8 Hours of Sleep and my Jennifer Lopez JLo Beauty Mask.
Whoa, you are glowing, I will say.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh, you know, one of our number one fans, Amanda Klutz.
Love Amanda.
Love Amanda.
She listens to this podcast religiously.
Well, after we promoted Jennifer, Jennifer Lopez, JLo beauty, JLo beauty.
She texted me and teasing me about, uh, how much better I looked
since I started using.
It's true.
Yep.
Look at it.
Yeah.
You are, you are really glowing.
I know I'm glowing
because I've been using my JLo beauty and sleeping.
But if you, if you don't sleep for like three or four days,
it's not even that long, you die.
Like it's crazy that we are designed that way.
Yeah. Like you, it's.
Wait, is it gonna take, you need more sleep.
I'm worried about you.
I will die.
I just want to let, no, we're all, we're all headed in that direction.
Take how dare you?
How dare you?
Take how dare you?
I'm getting, you know, three.
Oh my God.
Go to YouTube.
Go to YouTube.
Fortune fedora. Fortune Fedora.
Should we wear that at my funeral?
And because you're Irish Italian, I'll sing.
And French.
Oh daddy boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glen to Glen and down the mountainside.
The show has come and all the rose is falling.
Tigglebee turning in her grave.
Tigglebee.
Oh wait, it's me. It's you. It's you or me?
Doesn't matter.
It's you. It's me. It's me.
It's us.
And I must go and bide and I must bide. I'll work on the lyrics before.
Archen, would you mind singing that to me to sleep?
Singing that to me to sleep?
Singing...
To top of the marn and toya.
A little well by.
I'm not just known for my Irish goodbyes.
I'm also known for singing a little ditty at a funeral.
Or also if you're having menopause and you need to sleep.
I feel like...
I thought of some amazing accents.
I was going to say, you're not known for your Irish accent.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you.
How dare you.

How dare you. How dare you. How dare you. How dare you. How dare you. funeral somehow. You're going to have a pre-recorded album that they're forced to play. Yeah.
And everyone's going to have to sit there and listen. Yeah. Do you guys know my old
roommate Chris Fairbanks? Yes. Yes. Okay. He's one of the funniest people walking around
this planet. When we first moved, we used to live in Venice together, Venice, California.
And when we first moved into our house,
we used to always talk to each other like,
oh, he calls me Tiggity.
And he's like, hello, Tiggity.
And I call him Crissity.
And when we first moved in,
we were just walking around the house,
getting things set up, cleaning,
and talking to each other like that.
Like, ah, titty, titty, titty, crissity,
oh, Tiggity, blah, blah, blah, da, da, da, Chris, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
And he takes some trash out and meets our neighbor and he's still talking like that.
He's like, yeah, we just moved in here.
Oh no.
And then my friend, Tegan, and the guy was like, where are you from?
Chris is like, oh, sorry, I'm actually from Montana. My roommate and I were just talking like we were from Ireland.
Anyway.
When did you guys live together?
Was it when you first moved to LA?
No, we were performing in Boise, Idaho, and he opened for me and we had so much fun.
We were crying laughing the whole weekend.
And he was just going through a breakup and I had just rented this house.
And I said, if you don't have anywhere to go, you're welcome to move in with me.
I didn't have an extra bedroom, but I had like this-
Oh my God.
I had this extra room that just had a door that like slid closed.
There was no closet in there or anything. So he
was like, really? And I was like, yeah. Cause I just, I was like, Oh my God, I love this
guy. And we moved in, we lived together almost a decade.
Wow.
Yes.
That's amazing. You knew right away when you met him and you're good in a crisis. We know
this. And he was going through a breakup and you said, all right, yeah, it's like, hey,
because he just just broke up with his girlfriend and he was like in the middle. He was like really
in flux and I just thought, well, I love this guy. I lived with a boy for like eight years.
Fortune. Not romantically. Okay. Who was the boy? My friend Steve, shout out.
Shout out?
His last name was Shout Out?
I was in desperate need of a place to live,
at the end of my first year in LA.
And I had met him through, he was working on the show
that the lady I was working for was on,
and he had a North Carolina
Chapel Hill shirt on and I was like, oh my God, I'm from North Carolina. As if we're like all
supposed to be friends. And I came on a little strong and I think he thought I had a crush on him.
So he was like kind of, you know when you like think
someone likes you and you don't like them,
you don't wanna like do anything to give them
the wrong impression.
I said yes, but actually I can't relate.
Cause if anyone, if I think there's even a hint,
I'm like, I'll steam ahead.
Yeah.
No matter who it is?
Well, maybe I just like the flirtation.
The attention.
Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say attention and then I...
He did not want that attention from me.
And I was desperate to make friends, so I was coming on very strong.
I knew as a friend, he thought romantically and I was like, you wanna be friends?
And he's like, ugh.
And so I knew him in that way.
But you weren't out yet, right?
I wasn't out yet, no, but I knew I was not just like,
I knew I was not into him in that way.
But I was desperate for friends because it was so hard to meet people out here.
And then like six months into knowing him,
that was back when there was the AOL chat rooms, you know?
Yeah.
And he put on his like away message
that he needed a new roommate.
And I was, and I needed,
I desperately needed a place to live
because my room-
I need a place to stay.
I need a place to stay.
So I like wrote him like,
I need a roommate or I need a room somewhere.
And he kind of was like, oh, okay.
Oh my God.
Like reluctant.
And then I ended up being his roommate
for like almost a decade.
And the whole time you were trying to get with him.
The whole time, man.
Crawling into bed with him at night.
Yeah.
So you lived with him when you came out.
Yeah, yeah.
Was he shocked that you didn't want a piece of that?
I honestly don't know. I don't, I don't, I don't know what he was shocked, but he wasn't also like, it wasn't like on the nose for him.
And, um, when you were living with him, were you flashing your sexy cabs?
No, your cabs.
Your sexy gams.
Yeah. He saw my gams. You're sexy gams. Yeah.
He saw my gams.
He knew what I was working with.
But immediately as I moved in, he saw right away there was no sexual anything ever.
Right.
No chemistry, nothing in that way at all.
And it was like high fives immediately.
And yeah, he's still one of my best friends. When he moved out of LA, it was a sad, sad day.
Where'd he go?
I miss him.
He moved to Chicago first and then he's in Atlanta.
He has a family of three kids now, wife, kids, all the things.
And is she jealous of you?
Yeah, no.
He's not allowed to talk to you anymore.
He's jealous of me because I don't have kids.
But he's great.
He's a super great guy.
But yeah, so that was my...
I had grown up with brothers, so I knew they were gross to live with.
That's where I remembered living with Steve that men somehow end up having their pubes
everywhere.
It just it doesn't matter.
They their pubes end up literally everywhere.
And that's what you were dealing with.
Yeah, guys, whatever male.
No, the the ladies know, too, that are listening right now who live with a man.
We'll attest fortune you have to say that somehow their pubes end up everywhere.
You have to say that again and end it with, right ladies?
Right, am I right ladies?
Pubes everywhere.
It's wild how they can just manage to float to many places.
I'm equally bad, not with pubes, but like I cut, I trim my hair a lot myself and I've had roommates be like,
there's tiny yellow hairs, like all,
you can never quite clean them all up by the sink.
And it's a real compulsion.
I can't stop, like last night when we were painting the bears,
I went up to pee and I just find myself holding the scissors,
giving myself a haircut in the middle of hosting a party.
And so wait, May, is your hair not brown anymore?
Oh, no, it is.
Yeah, it's brown, but it's still got a hint of blonde.
Yeah, it's like a...
Go to YouTube.
Go to YouTube.
I did find myself turning into a naggy wife
living with a man.
Oh, really?
Yeah, which Jax deals with now with me.
So it's all full circle.
Wait, you nag Jax?
No, she nags me.
Oh yeah, I was gonna say.
When I was living with,
because many of times Steve and I had another roommate,
so I would live with two boys.
So I was always like, guys, can you please
take out the trash?
It's literally overflowing.
You became that character.
I became that woman.
Can you please?
Can you please?
For the love of God.
You're passing the mailbox? Can you just bring
the mail in for once? Can you clean up your pubes? Did I tell
you guys about the room and the guy Mike that I found on Craigslist
to be my roommate and he seemed like this quiet little nerd. He
was younger than me and I just desperately needed a roommate
fast. This is not long ago. I was like 30 in London and he moved in
and right away I was like, he stayed in his room all the time and then after about a week he came
home. I hear all the doorbells in the whole apartment building basically buzzing and he's
wasted and he comes in and he's like slurring and he starts being like, can I have a hug?
I just met him like a week ago and I was like,
no, I'm good and he goes, go stand in the corner.
Oh no.
And I was like, no, I'm fine.
I was by myself.
So I was like, oh, this is bad.
So I texted my friend and I start recording him
and he's going like, do you ever like bone your groupies?
And he's just being really gross and weird.
And he keeps telling me to stand in the corner and hug him.
So I went, I'm gonna go to bed and I locked the door and then I hear him. This is not
a fun story, is it? Anyway, it depends on where it goes. Yeah, we don't know where the
ending is. I hear him smashing around. Anyway, so the next day I go out and I go, Hey Mike,
he stayed in his room for like 24 hours. Then he comes out really hungover and I was like,
Hey man, you were really creepy last night. He's like, okay, so what? Not apologetic. And I went like, I feel like you got to move
out. Like you were, I have a recording because in case you didn't remember, you kept telling
me to stand in the corner and hug you and you were talking about your dick and it was
weird. And he goes, okay, fine. I'll move out. I was like, okay. And then I said, well,
I'll give you your deposit back. And he goes, I don't need your charity. And I was like, all right, well,
and then this is the mistake I made.
I said, I'm going on tour.
So if you can just be out when I get back,
I'll be back in two weeks.
I leave, I come back from tour.
He, it is destroyed.
My house, like my TV is broken.
There's no bottles.
There is poo smeared on the wall in the bathroom.
There's pee and pubes everywhere.
There's my TV broken and just like garbage
that's been sitting in the sun
in the apartment with no air conditioning.
Like it was, yeah.
And I never heard from him.
I just changed the locks.
I never saw him again.
That's wild.
I bet you're gonna hear from him now.
I hope he's listening.
He's like, ah.
Yeah. And wait, you just, he was just randomly from online or? I hope he's listening. He's like, yeah.
He was just randomly from online or?
He was like 26 and seemed so he was like, he was like five foot four and like 100 pounds,
like this little, you know, tech guy.
And he seemed like the least threatening guy ever.
And then I think, yeah, he would have murdered me for sure.
Yeah, that they have a whole series called least threatening guy ever. And then I think, yeah, he would have murdered me for sure. Yeah, they have a whole series called
my worst roommate ever or something.
Worst roommate ever.
No, he probably was just going through something.
I had many of Craigslist roommates.
It is wild to just have a stranger move in.
It's wild, right?
I haven't done that.
It was very popular at one point.
Yeah, I lived with a woman called Joanne, and then I was the sketchy Craigslist roommate
because I was like a sketchy teen,
and I lied about my age and I moved in.
I knew I didn't have enough rent really,
but she was a nice lady and she was maybe in her 50s,
and when I would leave the house,
she'd go, oh, you forgot something,
and I'd be like, what?
And she'd say, you haven't said goodbye to Elvis,
and I had to say goodbye to the cat every time I left.
I thought she was gonna say your rent.
Oh yeah, you forgot something just to pay me any rent.
And also can you pay me my rent?
Yeah.
Well, I never answered Molly's question.
To answer Molly's question,
I'm not an Irish good buyer exiter
because I feel too guilty.
I feel like I need to properly say thank you to the host
to tell my friends I'm leaving.
That's why it's always a 45 minute process to me.
But we've mentioned her on this podcast before.
Tegan and I have a mutual friend named Alison Dunbar.
She is the queen of Irish Exeters.
And I didn't even know that term until her.
And she would famously at every party just disappear.
Um, and I think once people expected of you, no one gives the crap.
Yeah. You said, yeah.
Yeah.
Also, Alison Dunbar can do whatever she wants as far as I'm concerned.
That's right.
She shares.
Nobody funny or cooler, smarter.
And you just, Alison Dunbar does anything she wants in my book.
Whatever she wants.
Oh my God.
Imagine being that person.
Yeah.
That sounds like heaven.
Because she didn't give a shit.
If you were to be like, hey, I'm offended that you left without saying goodbye,
she'd laugh in your face.
And you'd be like, all right.
What's your, what Molly has to say? Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, and now my answer, I did an outfit change for the answer.
So I prefer an Irish exit.
I once, um, had to go to a, uh, cast rap party that I didn't really want to go to
cause it was at a club downtown and it was really loud, but I felt like I should go.
So I went in and there was a dance circle
and I made a big scene so that everybody could see me
and there was like a dance off
and I did a big like number in the middle of the circle
and people were like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I zipped out and I was only there
for probably 15 minutes at the party
and I got into my car and I was like,
I was so excited.
And everybody thought the next day that I had stayed really late because they all saw
me and made a big, you know, to do, but then sneaked out.
It was my perfect Irish accent.
That's amazing.
I just said, yeah, like she was talking to me directly.
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that would seem like you were really there partying
if you've made such a huge scene like that.
Yeah.
That's a good thing.
That's a good plan if you don't wanna go somewhere
for a long time to like make your presence known
pretty hardcore and then just dip out.
Yeah.
If you're gonna commit a murder,
that's a good thing too for your alibi.
Like you go to a party.
Didn't think about that.
You're really present at the party
and then everyone's gonna think you were there.
Yeah. Yeah.
I would love to be at a party.
Why did your brain go to that?
Oh, sorry.
That's a great alibi.
You're gonna commit a murder.
I want an alibi.
I was break dancing in the kitchen.
I couldn't have done it.
Didn't you see me there?
I was there.
I really would love to be at a party
where Molly Shannon instigates a dance circle
and does a huge number.
I would just be levitating with joy.
Oh yeah.
She is one of those people that you could watch her do anything
and you'd be cracking up.
Yes, she's a silly, silly bird.
Let's have a party at some point and invite her.
Put it on the list, Thomas.
Put it on the list.
Yeah, just the four of us invite Molly Shannon over.
Seriously.
She's like, why isn't no one else here?
Well, we know she doesn't like loud clubs.
That's true.
So maybe she'd like a quiet evening with four.
A quiet evening evening with Molly.
With a grain bowl and triple dippers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And what was my food?
I like shrimp dumplings, but I'm embarrassed about it.
That's all right.
Don't be embarrassed.
Yeah.
No.
Be proud.
Be out and proud about your dumplings.
That's right.
Well, what an episode.
I hope everybody votes today.
Please. And tell your family, tell your neighbors.
Your neighbor, tell your Nana.
Share your same political views.
Then don't remind them.
But vote, it's very important.
It is our basic civic duty.
And many people fought for us to be able to vote. So go vote.
Fortune speaking the truth.
That's right. If you want merch, go to handsomepod.com because we have some great merch. A hoodie,
Keep It Handsome hoodie, a Yego shirt. It's never too late to wear that because everyone
has ghosts in their house and you want to give them a shout out. Yeah. And it's also never too late to order my album Hello Again. Get that at tignotaro.com.
I can still be seen very regularly at Comedy Bar in Toronto. I'm working out new material
and some nights it's real off the rails and loosey goosey.
And, but the crowds have been so fun and nice
and I've really been enjoying it.
I am fine.
Well, when this comes out, I will be finally back in LA.
I'm finally doing the loosey goosey new material stuff.
I'm at Largo December 15th and December 4th at Largo.
So there's going to be really good special guests and stand up and improv and music and
stuff.
And until next time, there you go.
Let's keep it handsome.
