Starting point is 00:06:41 Oh, okay. And I went by myself and it's like, you go through a horror maze and people jump out at you and you're in a group of guys with all these strangers. As soon as I arrived, I was like, oh, okay, this is something you should do with loved ones because they take a picture of you in front of a green screen and then give you a key chain of you in a scary,
Starting point is 00:07:00 they've projected a, so I have this key chain of me by myself and then going through so scary.

I've spent my fair share of time on the road and I've seen some pretty bad driving out there. I'm proud to say that I'm a safe driver and I think my insurance rate should be lower because of that fact. The more safely you drive, the less you'll pay. Who doesn't want to pay a rate
Starting point is 00:18:18 based on your own safe driving? You're in good hands with Allstate. Not available in Alaska or California, subject to terms and conditions. Rates vary by state.

Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah, John Travolta was like, she was about to sing a song from Frozen, and he, I think, was the moment. And now that's who that was about. Idina Menzel? Wait, what? Which part? You thought it was about Adele?
Starting point is 00:25:20 No, I don't think I knew who the person was. The real person. Yeah. Oh yeah, Idina Menzel. He called her Nadel Dazeem, right?

Yeah Nadele disease right the hell disease Our internet like lost their minds But she's been such so funny like she's brought it up at different times I was really had a lot of fun with it Yeah, but it did in the moment, stink for her, because she was having this big moment
Starting point is 00:25:49 at the Oscars, I think. She's so beloved in the, especially the Broadway singing world. Moments like that make me really like... Every gay man's losing their minds. How do you not know what I'm pronouncing? That's me as a gay man losing my mind. That's your good friend, yeah. losing their minds like Come on hit can't hold me back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Your turn, Tig.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Let it go. You watch Frozen, the movie? I have seen bits and pieces of it. My sons were into it when they were maybe three or something. I feel like by now your sons are watching documentaries about Babe Ruth. And murder. Yeah, my son Finn definitely,
Starting point is 00:26:48 he watches old baseball games and football games from like the 80s and 90s. Oh, gosh. And he's also a little birder. Oh, he's into birder? Yes, yes, he bird watches. It's so cute. That's cute.
Starting point is 00:27:02 And then Max is, he likes watching those, the top 10 most scary monsters in the ocean. Yes. And he remembers it all. Oh my God. I had the experience the other day of getting to watch a child watch Wizard of Oz for the first time.
Starting point is 00:27:22 It was this child who I live with, this amazing angel, her friend was over for a play date and they put on Wizard of Oz for the first time. It was this child who I live with, this amazing angel, her friend was over for a play date and they put on Wizard of Oz. And it was like, oh my God, this friend has not seen, and didn't know that it was gonna go from black and white to color and the munchkins were gonna arrive. And it was, I just watched her face and she was like, I mean, like that gay man with a dog.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And she's five, is that right? Five, just mind blown. Yeah. Have you ever seen a child watch The Wizard of Oz for the last time? Oh my god. What? That really cracked me up.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I don't even know what that means. I don't know what it means, but it's dark for some reason, I don't know. I watched Dick Van Dyke watch Mary Poppins. What? You did? That would bring it to you. Back in the day?
Starting point is 00:28:08 Yeah, well at the premiere. At the... I'm Benjamin Buttons over here. Fortune was on set watching. No, I was a journalist for seven years. I think I'm mention that. And I went to the re-premiere of Mary Poppins. God, this would have been like 2007-ish maybe.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Maybe the same year you went to Miami? No, Miami was a couple years later. And I interviewed Julie Andrews on the carpet, which was like mind-blowing. I interviewed her twice back in the day, also at the Shrek premiere, very similar vibes to Mary Poppins. And then they played the movie in the movie theater, and I was seated kind of diagonal across the aisle from Dick Van Dyke,
Starting point is 00:29:02 and I watched him watch himself singing the songs. I mean, my mind was blown. That's very moving. And he was in the recent one too. He's in his 90s. Yeah. I feel like somebody told me that my mother is in the... Mary Poppins?
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah, like when all the people, like she had gone, my family had gone to California when it was being filmed. I always assumed it was filmed in England, but yeah, of course it was. Oh yeah, was it filmed in California? No, of course it was, that makes sense, doesn't it? I don't know, I just assumed it was filmed in England.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Thomas, where was it filmed? She's like the only Brit in it, isn't she? They're all in Burbank. Burbank, really? My mind is blown. And I think she's in like, obviously an extra, like in maybe when all the women are going to like not audition.
Starting point is 00:29:57 All the suffrages. They're lined up to be the, Yeah. The, the nanny. The nanny. How funny. That's crazy. How, I have to ask my brother about that,
Starting point is 00:30:09 but I just have that memory. That's insane. I went on, my friend was going to, I think they were screening the Indiana Jones movies or something at the Dolby Theater, and Harrison Ford was gonna be there, and he was like, I can't believe I got to watch Harrison Ford watch these. And then I went to a restaurant around the corner from there and saw Harrison Ford was gonna be there, and he was like, I can't believe I got to watch Harrison Ford watch these.
Starting point is 00:30:25 And then I went to a restaurant around the corner from there and saw Harrison Ford, it was during it. Like he'd gone, he'd done the red carpet. And then he bounced, and he was just having a whiskey at the bar with his wife. He was like, I'm watching him drink a whiskey. Yeah, yeah, it was cool. Yeah, a lot of those celebrities usually duck out
Starting point is 00:30:41 of the movie, because they've seen it, but Dick Van Dyke was. It's hard to watch. It was just Dyke and Dyke. Dyke squint. Dyke over there, Dyke over here. Imagine if he said that to you. Like funny if you say it weird.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Look at us, a couple of Dykes. Couple of Dykes. I did use that one before, I will come clean. He was at the Comedy Store watching the show one night and I was on the lineup and right before I went It was my turn. They were like whoever the comic was was like we have the legendary Dick Van Dyke in the audience and he stood up and ran clapped and then they brought me out and I was like Should someone say Dyke?
Starting point is 00:31:18 That's good, thank you. I can't believe how many times you've crossed paths with this guy. I know he's just in my orbit. I can't believe how many times you've crossed paths with this guy. I know he's just in my orbit. So a few years ago, I realized that I was not making my bed anymore. And I made a conscious decision to get up in the morning and make our bed. And I, because I started to think, oh, this doesn't matter. Who needs to make their bed?

I thought you were gonna say, and no offense to you,
Starting point is 00:33:45 but I thought you were saying that when they brought you up on stage they were like the legendary fortune themester. Not to say you're not a legend, we're all legends. They would introduce me that way. That would be a lot. You're going up into comedy star. That would be a lot, that would be hard to walk out to and then you have to entertain people. You're going up and the comedy's starting. That would be a lot. That would be hard to walk out to.
Starting point is 00:34:05 And then you have to entertain people where they're like, what? Or explain that there was a misunderstanding. I think I don't think he meant that. But yeah, this is for Dick Van Dyke. Well, good for you. Thank you. Well, should we get to our half question?
Starting point is 00:34:21 That's why we're here. All right. We got a really good asker today. Today's handsome question asker is a very hilarious standup comedian, Taylor Tomlinson, who has three wildly successful Netflix specials. She hosts After Midnight, who we all got to experience that show with.
Starting point is 00:34:42 We had the best time. Had a really good time there. She's just killing it. She's a younger comic and has been blowing. Blowing what? I don't even know what I was gonna say. I was gonna say blowing it out of the water. Blowing up?
Starting point is 00:34:58 Because she's only like 30. Oh. Is that right? Yeah, and she's like, her specials are like some of the most popular on Netflix. Let's see, uh, hear what Taylor Tomlinson has to ask. Hey, handsome podcast. I have a question. So all three of you are obviously very, very successful and very, very busy. My question is, how do you avoid getting burned out and sick while you are working so much?
Starting point is 00:35:24 Ooh, well. When did she send this question in? getting burned out and sick while you were working so much. Ooh, well. When did she send this question in? When she was sick. Okay, I was gonna say. Well that checks out, yeah, yeah. That checks out. Is that when we did the show?
Starting point is 00:35:35 When we did after midnight, she was sick and then I caught whatever she had like two days later. Really? What were you two up to? Nothing, I just was, I was standing closest to her. You were a little flirting, according to her. Electric sexual chemistry between Tig and Taylor. Yeah, because she actually, Taylor got mono
Starting point is 00:35:57 while, right before she took. Mononucleosis, is that what it stands for? Yeah, it's not like in high school people got that a lot. Yeah, why? It's like we call the kissing, is that what it is for it's not like in high school people got that a lot. Yeah. Yeah Why it's like we call the kissing. Yeah, is it disease? What is it? It's like in elementary school You get lice and you go to junior high school. Yeah, you get mononucleosis. Yeah, and then you go to Mexico you get Okay, let's be clear that We're not gonna get Mexico that bad rap. We've only had it twice in your life.
Starting point is 00:36:28 And once in Nepal when I was 20. But only three times. Only three times in your life? We've been on our pod for two of those. Wait, three times in your life you've had diarrhea? Like that I, like significant sort of. Do you guys remember, when you're going into first and you feel the big words diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea

Starting point is 00:37:03 diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea First and you feel a big burst In the home and you've got your shorts full of foam. And then you do have to go, there you go. Your shorts are full of foam? Because this is shorts. Did you have foam? I had no foam. What rhymed?
Starting point is 00:37:37 I almost died of a disease that caused diarrhea. You had no foam? No foam. Have you ever heard that song? I've heard the first line and the pfft, pfft, but I have not heard about foam. Can you believe I knew all the bases? That was great.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I wanna, I hope that. You know what's funny is May is hitting all the bases, like the sexual bases and the diarrhea bases. Yeah, well, what did we say? First base is choking. Oh, that's true. But yeah, Taylor got mono right before she filmed this last special.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Oh, really? Yeah, and has been having, so, but she also was like going like crazy. And I would always- She just filmed a special? Well, it's already out. She filmed it like November or something. And she had diarrhea during that?
Starting point is 00:38:24 Not diarrhea. No, no. We in like November or something. And she had diarrhea during that? Not diarrhea, no. We can't spread that rumor. She had, Taylor Thompson had diarrhea during her special. All the cutaways. She was running us. But Taylor got a lot of traction because she's one of the first young comics
Starting point is 00:38:39 to really talk about mental health stuff and just be very open about that kind of thing. What about burnout and stuff, that's cool. Burnout, yeah, like not, like just being more real about that kind of thing. What about burnout and stuff? That's cool. Burnout, yeah, like not, like just being more real about stuff. She talked to her last special about being diagnosed with bipolar. Just talking about things other people her age aren't talking about. But yeah, she, I always, like we'll have coffee from time to time and I, it's funny because
Starting point is 00:39:00 I definitely burned the candle at both ends and I'm always telling her like, you gotta take care of yourself and work life balance. I mean, I don't know how you do your schedule with your morning radio shows and touring and- I think I went too much this last one. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to really prescribe some R&R. Yeah, I'm not going to go on tour this- I got a couple of casino shows this summer and then no You should get my agent who told me to take three years Told you just don't work for three years my my booking agent so funny He was like he was like you should take like three years off and I was like
Starting point is 00:39:42 Do you do you fall off? Yeah, and are you able to do that like to rest and goal maybe there's a way that we could do the handsome pod in a very restful manner in we in sleeping bags in our backs in robes in robes we got little night spooning spooning oh my god but the head the handsome pods Pod's not stressful. Fork and spoon all night. Traveling and touring is probably the most exhausting. Yeah. A million percent. Yeah, so if I'm off the road, I can handle,
Starting point is 00:40:14 I can juggle a lot of things, but once I'm on the road and I was doing like three to four cities a weekend. No, I'm fragile then. This tour was a year and a half long, 105 cities, 150 shows, and it backed up from another 100 city tour. That was like 120 shows. I filmed Fubar, wedged in between those,
Starting point is 00:40:39 so three years, 200 cities, 300 shows, and a season of Fubar. So what do you? It was too much. Is there, do you have a trick? 200 cities, 300 shows, and a season of FUBAR. It was too much. Do you have a trick? Like are you sleeping? How do you do it? How do you do it?
Starting point is 00:40:52 How do you do it? How do you do it? Do it! I mean we all tour, so you guys know what that's like. I don't really. You're not made for that? I'm too fragile. I used to tour in the UK,
Starting point is 00:41:04 but everything's so close together. You can kind of. Tiggs road dogged it for many, many years. I do try when I'm home to get that seven, eight hour sleep. Like that's pretty important to me, where I will say like, oh, I can't do that thing that early because I know I have this other stuff late that night
Starting point is 00:41:24 and I gotta try to get this sleep. Do you have trouble sleeping at all? No, I'm pretty good about going right to bed. Leonardo da Vinci famously slept for 15 minutes every hour. Oh, that's, I could not do that. Why would anybody do that? Why not? Can you imagine every hour he'd just go for 15 minutes?
Starting point is 00:41:42 That seems like narcolepsy. I don't believe that. I don't believe that, yeah. He died on my birthday. minutes. I don't believe that. I don't believe that. I don't believe that. He died on my birthday. The balance I don't have is obviously I need to eat better. That suffers. I put on, I packed on some pounds.
Starting point is 00:41:53 You're living in hotels. Early in this tour. I've lost 30. You look great. Thank you. You look handsome. I appreciate it. I'm trying, I'm trying to,
Starting point is 00:42:02 at some point I'm like, okay, I gotta really, because my skin starts to get bad. My face is big. I'm big. I'm trying, I'm trying to, at some point I'm like, okay, I gotta really, because my skin starts to get bad, my face is big, I'm big, I'm like, all right, I gotta, the Jax is always like, we gotta be healthier. I definitely need to make more time for that balance with my wife, you know, I want her to feel like we're not just living for me to work.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I want us to like enjoy things and take trips. In your mind, are you building towards something? Are you like, I'm gonna make this much money and then I'm gonna. I don't know, I guess maybe I don't have that vision. Do you wanna be like, the biggest, if somebody was like, down the road, you could be the biggest comedian that ever has ever.
Starting point is 00:42:40 No, mm-mm, I'm not trying to be that. I want to be, I guess if there is a goal, it is I want to do this, what I love, and make a good living at it. But I don't need or want to be the most famous female comedian of all time. That is not my goal. What about male? Or mail, or mail. Like I don't, I'm not trying to be in arenas. I like just like comfortably selling tickets. I love that people care and that wanna see the shows. I'm happy with like these two, 3,000 seat theaters. And it brings you joy.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Yeah, but I'm not trying to do like 10, 15,000. So the goal is to like have success and to do this for a long time, but I'm not trying to have this be my entire life. I think one day I want to vanish. Vanish? Yeah, I kind of want to go, not a beach as we've covered,
Starting point is 00:43:40 but go to the woods one day. Oh, interesting. And just chill and play guitar and stuff. Yeah, maybe Northern Ontario with like a little family or something, I don't know. Like my family. Not a random family. Oh, okay, so like a house.
Starting point is 00:43:52 You don't wanna just like wander into the woods. Parvati looks away and you scurry into the woods. And you're whittling. Do you know about the Ernest Shackleton, like one of those Arctic expeditions? I think it was Shackleton. He, this, oh, I don't have about the Ernest Shackleton, or one of those Arctic expeditions. I think it was Shackleton. Oh, I don't have any of the facts, but this guy famously, they were starving,
Starting point is 00:44:11 they're in the ice, and this guy went, "'I'm just going for a walk. "'I may be some time.'" And he just walked into the snow. I may be some time? I may be some time. Why does it sound weird? I might be gone for some time.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Oh, I see. And so wait, was he meaning to disappear? Yeah, that was like his goodbye. Oh wow, that's like that movie, Into the Wild, right? Yeah. Oh my God. I was obsessed with that book. Really? Like. What's that?
Starting point is 00:44:36 Into the Wild? Yeah. Oh my God. Two against one. Is this a guy went into the- It was also made into a movie, was that Emile Hirsch? Oh, that guy, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where he goes into Alaska.
Starting point is 00:44:49 I think Sean Penn directed it. It's like one of the five movies I've ever seen. I was so into the book. I was like, I almost say don't read it. We might never see you again. I think I might read it. Cause you think that would make May wanna go into the Alaskan wilderness?
Starting point is 00:45:06 Well, listen, I don't know. Well, it doesn't end well. No, but I'm sorry to spoiler alert. But is it really juicy survival stuff and just calm? Yeah. Yeah. I don't cover it up. OK, I'm going to read it and then we'll do book club. I'll on the pod. I'll say what I...
Starting point is 00:45:26 Duh duh duh duh pip pip boop boop. This book's only been out forever, no spoilers. Should we start a book club? Oh please don't let me read. Well you would just be on Instagram. Look, you would just go to Miami, sit by the pool. Can I have some frozen grapes? The woman in the flute dress comes over.
Starting point is 00:45:44 You guys are reading and I'm scrolling on Instagram. They're delicious. Don't yell at me. You've never had them and you love fruit. You love wild blooms. And you love fruit. Take some of your grapes. Put them in the freezer.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Put them in the freezer. Is that one of your famous Let them sit for like an hour. How long do you think it takes for them to freeze? Leave them in overnight. Three hours I say. Overnight. I say.
Starting point is 00:46:15 And especially on a hot day, pop those suckers in. Am I scared I'd choke? What if you used to Well you gotta chew. Don't just swallow. Why are you yelling at me? On our Joy Cow Show. What if you used a frozen grape as like an ice cube in a glass of wine? My friend's dad was always trying to push frozen grapes on the family as like a healthy snack and one time he said Maybe you just use British.'s like, take a grape,
Starting point is 00:46:47 but we could call them G'kools. G'kools? G'kools, and everyone was like, what? He's like, G for grape, and then cool. Oh, G'kools. G'kools. G'kools. And did it take off?
Starting point is 00:46:59 No, he never lived it down in the family. I think in general frozen grapes have not taken off, just as an item, but I think they should. I've heard about them. I prefer them frozen to not frozen. They scare me. So what is an iced wine then? An iced wine?
Starting point is 00:47:12 An iced wine. Isn't that when the grapes are frozen when you make the wine? Oh, I don't know. Oh, cause that's a Canadian thing, right? What are we talking about? Chime in on the social media. There is a thing called iced wine.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Iced wine. I believe that's a Canadian wine. Oh, when people put ice in their wine? No, it's like a sweet dessert wine called ice wine. And I think it's... Thomas knows he's Canadian. Thomas is Canadian, yeah. Isn't it Canadian though?
Starting point is 00:47:34 I've seen it in the, what's it called? Duty-free area of Canada. Oh my God, I also never noticed your accent. It's in Canada. Do you shop in the duty free? Not really, but I pass through there. Well, of course. And they have a whole big case of iced wine.
Starting point is 00:47:56 I remember being a kid and flipping through the magazine on the plane, because you're bored, and then you see a little stuffed animal on a toy plane, and I would yearn for it. And I'd be like, please, can I get this? My parents would be like, no, we're not going to get that. And you're going to be like, I need it. I need it. So I'm curious, you two seem healthier than me.
Starting point is 00:48:21 What do you all do for to stay stay healthy when you're busy? I don't feel like a healthy person. I feel like my equilibrium gets easily off where I get tired and my skin's bad and my stomach's upset. I wanna get more sturdy, especially because I'm about to be filming for four months and doing night shoots and I'm in it a lot
Starting point is 00:48:46 and then when I'm not in it I'm on set. I gotta be a good, inspiring leader. I can't be in the corner shitting myself. What can they do to get sturdier? I'm trying to get myself sturdy every day. You know what I mean. None of us know how to get sturdier. I'm gonna Google it. I mean, getting what I mean right? It's like a delicate. So none of us know how to get sturdier. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I don't know. I'm gonna Google it. I mean. Well, getting enough sleep, right? Sleep is huge. That's gotta be a big one. Well, I'm always just trying to pull back on working. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:49:16 That's, I have time scarcity and I'm like, yeah. I mean, I certainly enjoy what I do and, but I also, I just, I've really become somebody that I just love being at my house. I love taking walks, I love treading water, I love just all of that simple stuff. Like a routine as well, routine is very grounded. Yeah, I love it, and you know,
Starting point is 00:49:44 I certainly went for it nonstop for years. And I'm still busy, but it just doesn't appeal to me as much, that lifestyle of like, no, no. I love, like we just went on a two week family vacation. So it was, we went and saw my family in Austin. Then we went over, flew into, went to see my family in Mississippi and Easter egg hunts, like in the towns really small
Starting point is 00:50:19 and they have the Easter egg hunt for the whole town in the park and our kids just had such a blast with their little Cajun cousins. They'll remember it forever. Oh my, well we've been going there for Easter and then yeah, we just had so much fun and it's that kind of stuff where I'm, at one point I'm just sitting there,
Starting point is 00:50:41 we're in Colorado after that and we're just sitting there in the hot tub, the four of us. And to have my son tell me that he loves having me and Stephanie as his parents. Oh, stop it, in the hot tub, you told you that? Yeah, Stephanie had taken our other son in to get cleaned up after being in the chlorine and we were sitting there
Starting point is 00:51:09 and he was just, they called me Mayor, and he was like, Mayor, I love having you and Mommy as our parents. And I was like, gosh. That is so sweet. Help me. That is so sweet. It is those little moments where you're like,
Starting point is 00:51:24 and they're not little, it's so massive. And it's just like, how am I this lucky? And these kind of moments I'm missing if I'm going all the time. And it's just, it's the best. Well, that's the interesting thing about not having kids, which that is my choice. It is harder to kind of create,
Starting point is 00:51:49 create, no. Family? Like a magical moment. Like, tradition. Some same tradition. Yes, yes. You know what I mean? Because.
Starting point is 00:51:58 You're so mobile. I feel like a lot of traditions are created for kids, right? That's true. Like our family does this, and we used to do this, and when it's just the two of you, you're like, well we can do whatever we want and then you time, which is great, I love that. But it does leave us with less traditions and less like.
Starting point is 00:52:14 But you can get that through friends. And like if you started taking, like we could start planning a handsome trip every year. I still think we should all ditch our families and spend Christmas together every year. Right, we're time-stamped still. Max and Sam would be completely fine. We play music all week.
Starting point is 00:52:33 But yeah, so I need to be more conscious of like, because I don't have kids, I can just go into work mode like so hardcore, tunnel vision for days. I'm juggling like 15 things, but I love it. No part of me is like, ugh, I'm tired, work. Well, I'm like, I love work. So anytime I'm complaining-ish about being tired, it is all still going through this thing of,
Starting point is 00:52:58 I am loving working. But I have to remember, that's not Jax's journey. So I have to come out of that tunnel and be like, okay, what can we do for us and what is our tradition? Yeah, what would be a weird adventure we could go on? Yeah. You know what Stephanie and I put together
Starting point is 00:53:18 when we first became heavily involved? Maybe I've mentioned this, but like a box of suggestions. Oh really? Cool. Where you each write out just a million different suggestions and put them in a box. Of what you guys can do to do it? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Oh interesting. And then you shake that up. Actually that's how I proposed to her. I remember saying to Kate Mccoochie, I was like, God, I wanna propose to Stephanie by having her pull out Will You Marry Me from our activity box. Oh, that's cool. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:51 And Kate was like, oh, geez Tig, that would be great. And I said, yeah, but it might take years for her to get to that. And she was like, remove all the things that are in there and just throw in Will You Marry Me? And I's like, remove all the things that are in there and just throw in William and Mary me. And I was like, oh my God, I'm a stupid person. And so that's what I did. I did think of that right away.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Just so you know. That's what I did. Yeah, like we'll just take them all out and put a bunch of William and Mary me's in there. And we did it. She pulled it out. That's how it was. Oh wow.
Starting point is 00:54:22 And then she also, she framed all of the will you marry me's. Aw. Yeah, anyway. Whatever. So cute, that's a good idea. I've never heard that before. I've never, I can't believe we've never heard the story of your engagement.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah, I've never heard that before. You should do that with, like if you come up with just a list of things. Things that she comes up with things? No, no, yeah, you come up with your stuff, she comes up with her stuff, you crumple it up, put it in a box, shake it up, pull something out. Or Thomas could just put it on the list if he wants.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Yeah, it'd be good, because that is the one thing that work-life balance definitely needs some more balance in there. If you're listening, I feel like one simple thing everyone can do is if I didn't have my phone by my bed, I would be sleeping an hour more every night. For sure, at least an hour. Because I'm just in bed scrolling,
Starting point is 00:55:12 and I wake up, I scroll. Yeah. Wake up and have a night and scroll? Sometimes. They say you're not supposed to look at your screen an hour before you go to sleep. But who are they? I know, but say the self-control for that is a hard one.
Starting point is 00:55:26 They tell us all the time. I like those little immunity shots. I don't know if those work, but in my head they work. Yeah. I like cryo chambers and ice baths. I like cold. Oh really? You like cold.
Starting point is 00:55:40 I like a cold shower. You love to shiver. For the dopamine, yeah. That gets you just feeling alive, right? Like feeling like awake. It kind of resets your nervous system because it's such a shock and then you're like, okay. I have to say, I mean, I've told you,
Starting point is 00:55:53 I've treaded water in cold pools. I don't know if you guys have mentioned treading water. No, this is the first time. Don't be jealous. But I mean, aside from just the exercise of treading water. Yeah, you stick it to dig. Don't stick it to me. I would never dare.
Starting point is 00:56:09 I don't wanna start that war. I have been treading water this last week. I got off the treading water train and then got back on it. I did it on vacation. We went to Palm Springs for the weekend, because I had a show there, but we went a day early,
Starting point is 00:56:24 and I treaded water twice in the hotel pool. It was kind of odd because it was a small hotel. It was 21 and up and it was all these couples around the pool having their Aperol Spritzes. Nobody was trying to have pool time. I was like, am I gonna be this, but it's so, the area's small, so the seats are like, the lounge chairs are right on the pool.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Is this the Ace Hotel? No, it's called Little Horizon. By the way, I've been in this situation many times. So I'm like, all right, here I am in my lesbian swimsuit, gonna just charge into the water and I treaded water for 55 minutes. Having to try to- Why only 55?
Starting point is 00:57:12 That's great, and 55 is great. And the water was the perfect temp, but I'm trying to not watch any one couple for too long. So I'm just bobbing around in a circle for almost an hour. Oh, my God. I'm sure they were like, what is this crazy person doing? Looser. I was like, I want to know what Taylor Thomas does. Because I have some good tips. Listen, whatever aside from does. She might have some good tips.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Listen, aside from... I don't think she has good tips. She's sick. She's still sick. She's super sick. But whatever she's doing is working though. She's doing a lot. What I do, and is currently not working, because I am sick at work, I have done a combination
Starting point is 00:58:00 of things. I do a lot of supplements. I don't know if they're working, but I do use them. I drink a lot of water. I do a lot of supplements. I don't know if they're working, but I do use them. I drink a lot of water. I try to eat really healthy. I try to sleep a lot. I have done infrared sauna before. I've heard that helps. I've done acupuncture. Again, can't hurt. But if you have any other suggestions, oh, would love those. The Korean spa I go to, you can spend the whole day and it's like steam sauna,
Starting point is 00:58:31 ice plunge, massage, but you can go for a whole day. That sounds nice. That's real nice. She has to be naked though. Yeah, yeah. I don't want my cooter out. You don't want your cooter out? Fortune.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I really don't. You don't? I don't want to walk around with my cooter out. Why? Nobody wants that. Everybody wants to see that. Everybody. You can wear a robe. Luigi over here is everybody wants to see the cooter. Well you know my last name is Notaro. Hey Luigi Notaro. I would love to wear something. Well, I met Molly Shannon for the first time. In the Korean spa?
Starting point is 00:59:08 No, but I'm like, y'all are just cooter to cooter. Cooter to cooter. Can I tell you something? Cooter to cooter. But she had shocked me because I forget how we got onto it. But she was like, oh, yeah, I go to the Korean spa all the time. And I was like, in the nude, like, you're so famous. And she was like, oh yeah, I go to the Korean spa all the time, and I was like, in the nude, like you're so famous. She was like, yeah, people are so nice.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I would like to try a Korean spa, that sounds delightful. I love a massage. I do try to. With your couture out? I wear undies. Just the bottom part. Pontes. I wear my pontes.
Starting point is 00:59:39 You gotta see this guy in Mexico. I do a massage like once a month. What's that? Oh yeah, I don't know that guy. Get his hands in your mouth. No hands in my mouth. And think about your childhood, that? Oh, yeah, I don't know that guy. Uh-uh. Get his hands in your mouth. No hands in my mouth. Think about your childhood. You have to, Fortune. I don't want that. I don't even do the face or the head as part of the massage.
Starting point is 00:59:53 It doesn't do anything for me. I could have a head massage for an hour and a half. Really? Oh, yes. It doesn't. It just feels like just, yeah, it doesn't do anything for me. Oh my God. I'm like, get off my face, but like my head, get on that. Yeah. Get on my head. I just love them.
Starting point is 01:00:11 I think massages are good for just like really getting stuff out and just relaxing. Anything you do just to kind of like relax. Oh my gosh, I'll just sit. I love, okay, I love thinking. And so I like that. I like that. Taylor, we got a good suggestion for you.
Starting point is 01:00:32 But I mean, have you tried thinking? Have you tried thinking? Taylor's like, no thanks. It feels so good to just not be taking anything in or being around anybody and just being, that's why when I tread water, I don't have, I'm not playing music, I'm not listening to anything, I'm not talking to anyone and or if I'm in a hot tub or taking a walk,
Starting point is 01:00:57 I just love thinking. And I know it sounds like. I like that you're not calling it meditating, you're calling it thinking, because meditating, I feel like I'm always like that you're not calling it meditating, you're calling it thinking. Because meditating, I feel like I'm always doing it wrong or not doing it right, but it is just sitting and sort of thinking. Yeah, I love thinking.
Starting point is 01:01:14 I love not thinking. Yeah. Well, there's that. Jax is always like, you're always on your phone. But one of the things I'm doing when I don't wanna think is there's a game on my phone. Candy Crush? It's like Candy Crush, it's called Best Fiends. This is not bad.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I've just got back into Candy Crush. Is that a red flag? I feel like they're similar probably, where it's just kind of this no thinking kind of going through the motion thing. I will do it so I don't think, because my brain's such like, I wanna shut it down. And she'll be like, god, you're always on your phone.
Starting point is 01:01:46 But I'm like, this is just my way of like, going to another planet of non-thinking. Let us know what you do, what you're thinking about. If you have any tips for Taylor.
