Welcome to the handsome pot. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do we all go for it? I think that's the first time we all went for it. He all went for it. Welcome to the Hands of Pod. Ah! I got it.

You did it. It's Fortune. It's May. And it's TIG. Yeah, it is. You guys. I feel like it's been a beat since we've done this. I always feel like that.

I miss you guys. I miss you, too. I'm about to see May tonight. Yeah. What? Oh, the show at Largo. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You're missing out because you're out of town. Uh-huh. I'm in Toronto and not in a space suit. In my hometown. Oh, yeah, and you're not Star Trek and you're just in Toronto. Yeah, and it's so crazy because I'm just saying human words to other humans

and just having conversations, which I have not done in so long. Yeah, you're not being like the nebula is in hyperdrive. Yeah, yeah. That was pretty good. It was pretty good. Fortune, do you want to give it a whirl? The nebulous as an over-gine. No, no, your own...

Your own sci-fi dialogue. Oh, God. You know I can't come up with the dialogue. I know, girl. Protopac is at full capacity. We must beam ourselves up to another earth. Yeah, great. You know, I'm not a nerd, so I don't know how this works.

I was... Speaking of nerds, I was actually trying to find a picture of something in Toronto and when Thomas was my assistant he came with me and he almost ended up on Star Trek and look what I found today Thomas Thomas amazing yeah

I got fully dressed up to be on Star Trek that's me wearing like a cadet uniform and then they came up to me and they were like oh you can't because of like the unions or something like that Such a bummer. I was trying to give Thomas a little space perk, but yeah. Space perk. Go to Hulu if you want to see Mr. Thomas in a space suit.

Who would? Space perk for you. I love how much you're smiling in the picture. I wish you did have a cameo and you were just smiling like that in the background, grinning. Also, not that you look elderly now, Thomas, but you look four and a half in like every picture that pops up when you're holding Max and Finn is, babies when you're in a space suit.

It's really wild. Anyway. Passage of time, we've got to crack that. Because time is crazy. Someone's got to figure out a way to just pause it. Have you ever just thought time is nuts? If you could pause it, who would just spend your time with? You know it's you too.

That might be one of our top five moments on the pod. There have been many. But that was maybe number one. That was early on of like. like, if I could stop time, I would hang out with you guys and TIG and I just say it. And silence. You're like, I'm a little busy. Yeah.

Can't say I do the same, but I do like and care about you. Absolutely. I have to say also, it continues to blow my mind who listens to this podcast. Oh, tell us, girl. I mean, I mean, it's just, girl, it's just like, Girl. Okay, girl. Being on set here in Toronto.

Dish girl. It's just, girl, I'm trying to. But it's always, it's not necessarily like, wow, I wouldn't picture you listening to the podcast. It's just that I hear it all the time. Did I tell you also? I don't know if I told you this. At Stephen Colbert's finale, the after party, I was talking to one of his sons. and he was like, oh, yeah, and I just, I love your podcast.

No, that's cool. College-aged Colbertson. I go, wait, what do you do? What? And he was like, I love your podcast. And I was like, you listen to my podcast? And he was like, yeah, why do you sound shocked? I was like, I don't know.

I can't track why and who listens to this nonsense. That's incredible. It's so. It's nice to know that like, of course I know people listen to it, but it's just when you see the faces, whether it's somebody on set, doing my sound, you know, doing my sound pack or Stephen Colbert's son or somebody walking by me saying, keep it handsome. Yeah, I'm like, it's really, yeah, it's just endlessly nice. I think too we kind of forget because we're just really are chatting with friends. On the handsome pod. People will come up and tell me something about myself.

And I'm like, how do they know this? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, we must have talked about this on the podcast. Exactly. I know. And then you, when someone says that, then you pictured, like, what context are they listening to it in? Like, I picture people making their pancakes in the morning listening or, like, driving

to work. Yeah. I don't think anything about that. Oh, my favorite thing, and this is having several times, and I have past people who go, oh, my God, and they hold up their phone. Oh, yeah. And they're listening to the podcast. I've had that happen.

That would be very trippy. I haven't had that happen in my life where I'm listening to something and passed by that person. I haven't either. I was boarding a plane once. This guy turned around. He was like, no way! And showed me his phone. I was like, oh my gosh, that's so funny.

I had once, maybe I've said this, but I had, I went on a hike. It was one of my first times in L.A. And I went to a waterfall with my friend Phil, who was in Feel Good playing Phil. And my friend Jack. The waterfall in L.A.? Yeah. Yeah, so many actually. Switzer Falls.

Anyways, so I was there. So I was there. So I had Phil, who played Phil and Feel Good, and Jack, who played Jack and and feel good. And the show had just come out. Fantastic, by the way. You know, like creating new names. Yeah. Well, I try to back the network into a corner where they have to cast the people I wrote

at show. Oh, gotcha. But this woman was like, it was like her mind was explaining. She was like, I was just watching the show. And then now I'm in the show with three, characters saying their same names, frolicking in a waterfall. Yeah, that would be true. Nice. Yeah, I

didn't know about the waterfalls. Oh, you got to, you got to take the boys. There's Switzer Falls. It's like half an hour drive from me, so I don't know from you, but it's like you go up into the mountains and then it's just a little hike down, there's a long river, and then these waterfalls. Okay. And you know what I've been

meaning to ask you, May? Please. Is your house still up on that hill? Oh no It's still intact What if I just turned my camera around And the whole side of the house was missing Yeah still here

Still queer Yeah And it's pride month so exciting Yeah Still queer Thank God Yeah I was on May

I just got back from Europe And with my mom at gym We gotta tell us Yeah tell us I mean y'all It was a doozy Because it was on our pre-lil episode, I believe that May and I originally were discussing whether or not I take my mom on this

make a wish trip. And I ended up doing it. Boy, is that an example of time and space? Yeah. And so, anyway. I ended up doing it. But I said, okay, mom, the one thing I'm asking of you is that you don't bring a checked in bag. Like, we need to work with a carry-on bag, like a luggage and then a purse or book bag or something like that. I said because we've got it, I'm taking you to three countries. Your balance isn't great. I'm going to have to carry all our bags and we just,

I just need this, please. We've had multiple conversations about it and she'd be like, how many shoes should I bring? I'm like, two max. Should it bring snacks? You can for the plane. You know, it was like one, but it's like all that went out of the window.

Yeah. So I'm in Copenhagen. I've been in Europe touring by myself for five days. I'm excited to be around another human. I have no idea what's coming. I'm filming her sitting there at the baggage claim in Copenhagen, not even really thinking, why is she a baggage claim? And I'm like, Mom, hi, welcome to her coming.

And she's like, hey. And then I see her going to do a look down to her bag. And I see the bag and immediately stop recording. I'm like, Mom, what is this? It's this humongous bag that she checked in. She goes, it's her bag. Yes. And I'm like, Mom, we talked about this.

Oh, my God. She goes, I thought it was a carry on. It's humongous. And I'm like, no. And then so I'm getting my bags and her bags. I start to roll them. Someone's helping me because she's in a wheelchair. And I start to roll her bag.

And it's like, Kruplunk, Kruplunk, it's not rolling. It's broken. No. And I'm like, how am I going to do this?

You don't need this. You don't need this, girl. Girl, I do not need this. And I'm like clunking her bag out of the Copenhagen airport. And I'm just like, Mom, this is, I don't like,

I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to get through the next five days. And then we get to her hotel room. I start going through a bag. She's like three pairs of shoes. I'm like, you're here for two days. I mean, five days. What is this?

And then in her carry-on bag, which is a Trader Joe's cooler, by the way, a cooler bag. That's no way. Her carrying is a cooler. Got to. Got to. Yep. Got to. Half the bag is filled with snacks.

I was like, Mom! Why? It's like a whole bag of Tootsie Pups, a whole bag of Tootsie rolls, animal crackers, goldfish crackers, goobers candy from like the moon. movie theater, all this stuff. I was like, they have food in Europe. And it's better, actually. Yeah.

So we ended up leaving half, all that food in the hotel room. There's nothing better than goobers. The goobers, I was like, keep the goobers. I actually don't even know. What are goobers? Yeah, what are gobers? It's like a chocolate covered peanut. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. And then I found a bag. You know, I stopped into one of those like tourist stores, bought her a new bag, a caronel. bag, purple and hot pink. Drove her back to the airport. We were able to fit in all. Once she took half the, you know, all the snacks out of her bag, we were able to maneuver

everything. So crisis averted. Oh my God. But I don't know how we would have traveled the way that she originally intended us to. And did you have a, yeah. Yeah, grand old time, delicious food. We had a great time. I mean, but it, I mean, it was a great time also very stressful, just trying to keep her from getting hit or fall down cobblestones.

No, there's just bikes everywhere. You know, it's Europe. Like Copenhagen's, all bikes and giant buses, taxis. So we'd like cross the street to catch the taxi and I'd be like, just stay here. Don't move. Don't just stay. I turn to like get her taxi door.

She just wanders off into the bike lane. I like grab her by the shoulder. It's like a two-year-old. Yeah. I pull her up, a bite goes, fiu! Like, she would have died. I was like, and she goes, oh, my God, oh, my God. I'm like, Mom, you have to listen to me.

That is so stressful. Yeah, and so like, we had a lovely time, but then it just was me constantly, like, you know, when we're, we walked to my show in Copenhagen, and there's, like, cobblestones everywhere. Yeah. And I'm just like, ugh, ugh. You should have given her like a piggy front ride. I know. We took a little waterboat tour in Copenhagen, ate great food, lots of pastries.

Oh, that's nice. London, we had afternoon tea. Got to love it. Like two pretty little ladies. Did you do your pinky out when you're having your tea? Pinkies out? Of course, of course. That might be for high tea.

Did you have any gentleman colors when you two were having tea with your pinkies out? We were trying to hit the town looking for them dudes, but no bites. Then in Dublin, we took a Viking splash tour. What does that mean? You know those duck tours like in Boston? Like a car that can drive on to the water. Yeah. Yeah.

It's one of those, but you wear biking hats. That's cool. Wait. No, that's not. I think that's cool. I posted a whole video on it. We both had our Viking hats. And every now that he goes, and you go, yeah.

Oh, this is good. See, this is the first time I wish I was still on social media. Yeah. It was pretty cheap because I'm filming her in her Viking hat. And then the bus wasn't full, so I sat up in front of her and we're going. And it's a nice sunny day and we're going through it. And she just looks so funny in this Viking hat. The guy that's the tour guy is like enthusiastic and yelling things.

and it's chaotic. And then at some point, the sun goes away, and now it's really cold. And I look back on my phone of my mom, she has her hood over her hat, and she's like, shaking cold. Oh, my God. And I'm like, you don't have your hat on.

And then halfway through, they put life jackets on you, so I put it on her again. And she's like, in her viking hat with giant life jacket. It was hilarious. Was she a hit though? At the shows did she ever shout her out?

People loved her. Every show she goes to, they clamor to her and say hi to her. They love it. Although I had made it through the whole trip, everything was like smooth. I was in Dublin, last country. At the end of the show, she stands up and apparently just falls back. Oh, God. And I didn't see it happening.

I just was kind of like, you know, shaking some people's hands and stuff. And someone goes, fortune, your mom just fell. And I'm like, what? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And I'm just like, are you okay? She's like, I'm fine. I landed right on my butt.

Oh, my God. Fortune. Fortune. Your mom needs to have your iron and fruit. Your morning fruit. Checking Allstate First could save you. hundreds on car insurance.

Yeah. She just waved. Like she would just waived everyone from stage for like 15 minutes. I think she would love it. I feel like she loves a Q&A.

Yeah. I'd actually love to, I'd love to see TIG you interview Ginger, like a sort of deep Q&A. That dynamic would be great. A deep one. I'm all in. I would love it. Oh, that well, it was a treat. It was fun.

I'm glad you did it. I'm glad I took. I'm glad I took her. I'm glad she's safe. She had a little book club. I guess she, her book club has a thing where they do, someone does like a presentation like once a month on like whatever. And she did, hers was up yesterday.

And she did a whole presentation on her trip. And I can imagine it was adorable. That's really good. That's amazing. Did they record it? I don't think so but she goes I didn't take any notes

I spoke from the heart because I don't like it when people read their presentation I spoke mine I'd like to hear her version of the trip now that we've heard yours it's her being like she made me get rid of my snacks

and hers would be like she fussed at me right as soon as she got off the plane and had she I can't remember had she been to Europe before She had been to Europe, but it had been, you know, over a decade since. Well, because she also, she went on her honey, she got married, you know, a second time to a man.

And that only lasted three months. I don't think I knew this. Oh, really? I knew she'd been married again, but I didn't know it was just three months. Yeah. So in my special good fortune, I tell about how she had a circus-themed wedding. Oh, my God. That was the marriage.

She had been dating, and now I say dating loosely, this man for five years, very, like more companions. And then out of nowhere one day he proposed to her. And we were like, what? Because there was no romantic spark here. They just were like friends who hung out. And suddenly they were getting married. Well, my mom went so bananas because she was so pumped to be getting married. She invited 300 people.

To our church. Oh, my Lord. To come to this wedding. And I'm like, Mom, please. Like, everyone, y'all are like a weird pair. No one's going to understand why you're getting married. If I can. And wait, how old was she?

And I'm so pumped. Is it just that ladies love to get married time? I think ladies love to get married. Yeah. This was like 2011 or, yeah. So I don't know how old she will. What was that? Like 60?

That was like 15, 80. now, so 65 or something. Around 9. And she was just so pumped to get married. But she rented a red, a circus tent, red and white striped circus tent, put it inside the fellowship hall of our church. She had a hot dog cart as the main food.

Yeah, she wasn't in love with this guy. She had a cotton candy maker, a nacho bar with jalapinos. No, she did not. She swear to God. Did she have a Tilta World too? No, no games, but all the tables had linens on them, but like pastels and bunny rabbits. It was not Easter.

This was August. So this is a mix of themes. Mix of themes. She had two baby pools. You know the plastic baby pools? Of course we do. So you probably assume, you know, there's like a bobbin for apple situation.

No, she put ice. sent them because they were our coolers for our soft drinks. With your mother going through like a mental break? This is just my mom's personality dig. And then she had her friends singing. They're like, going to the chapel and we're going to get married. This man, he was in the corner of the entire time. being talked off of a cliff.

Like he, I can't believe he went through the wedding. So was he having second thoughts? Oh, God, yes. And wait, your mother was not having second thoughts? My mom was having the time of her life. This was her time to shine. She was,

all of her friends were there to see her. All these people in town. But everyone was having a good time. They're kind of like, I don't really understand what this is. And so then they, that marriage lasted three months. She moved in there and at three months from then, he was like, get out. Oh my God.

So, go out and take your petting zoo with you. Point of the story is they had a honeymoon already booked and she went on that honeymoon to Bath, England by herself. I bet she did. And that was her last time to hear of it. How did she? feel about the marriage ending or which she just she was she had the party she didn't she was she kind of was you know I know she was sad so I don't mean to laugh at her misfortune um but but how have you not told us

the circus wedding before that's really good no but if you knew I I don't want to say on our podcast why everyone knew this marriage wasn't going to last okay all I will say is it was a very very I'm not saying anything. He was gay. I'm not saying anything. He was gay. I'm not saying anything, but it was very apparent to many people why this was not a love connection. So do you think that they did any sort of top secret touching?

No, like the most was like a hold of hands, maybe a peck. Wow. Wow. So your mom married a gay man. I did not say that. I did. Right. I said it repeatedly. I didn't confirm anything. I did. You're just making things up.

That's right. Out of the truth. What is clear as day. Out of thin air. Yeah, that's right. I didn't say any of that. But yeah, they just weren't a match. That's all I'll say. Yeah. I understand now why you were like, rain it in on the luggage. Because if she'd gone full circus, showed up with, yeah, clowns.

Yeah. And my mom can very. easily, as you can see, take things too far. Anyway, enough about me. What are you guys up to? I mean, nothing compared to your life, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah, me neither really. Me neither.

I've been a pretty chill time. I've got a couple weeks at home. My friend Joe's here. We're writing. My house hasn't fallen off the cliff, knock on wood. It is truly remarkable. I know, and I did see a thing online that said the fault lines or the pressure's building. Oh, no.

I don't like this. I do have something to share. Oh, okay. Well, May shared it. Oh. You don't have to sound scared, May. Yeah, I'm like, what did I share? Oh, God.

May texted this to me and Stephanie. Oh, yeah. This was a license plate I saw TIG wife. How crazy is that? I was like, is that I honestly crossed my mind. Truly like that is a bold move from Carrie Russell. Yeah. Wow.

I know. Carrie Russell really is putting up there. I mean, she's flirting like crazy. Flirting. Yeah. It's flagrant. I asked Stephanie how she felt. I was like when May sent that picture, I was like, how do you feel?

Knowing Carrie Russell is being this blatant. And what she said? She's not scared. She knows she's got my attention. Yeah, you can't ruffle, Stephanie. You can't make her jealous. You can't ruffle her. Yeah, I can't ruffle her.

But Carrie's going to carry. Carrie's going to carry. We all know that about Carrie. Oh, my God. Who knows Carrie better than us, okay? Exactly, yeah. Do you or Stephanie ever get jealous or y'all, Is that ever have one?

I mean, sure, there's moments where, I mean, I can't say that it, we, I cannot say we have a jealous relationship. There's definitely not that at all. But there's certainly moments in our relationship where it's like, wait, what's this connection? Yeah, yeah. Or what's this excitement or, and then, you know. You seem a little too happy right now. Excuse me. look over here

but yeah I don't know I think a little healthy dose of it here and there is nothing wrong with that as long as it's not like a thing which I don't that y'all don't strike me that at all

something of a sense of humor about it it's kind of nice I kind of like it when someone gets a bit is like yeah like a sort of oh they really like me yeah the worst is when

your partner or someone you're dating is jealous of a friend of yours or something and they and there's like nothing there or they're like actually cold to that friend in a group and you're like yeah that's the worst like yeah yeah yeah has that happen where in past relationships where you couldn't like hang out with that friend as much as a result yeah there was a friend where I was this is a long long time ago different long different relationship but where yeah if if they were both at a party I'd be talking to this friend and then

my girlfriend at the time would like come over and interrupt or like take me away and it was so embarrassing because there was nothing there and the friend was like okay but okay yeah it's been yeah it's well yeah that's not a fun way to live that jealous vibe and I just think about younger younger years where I think my own insecurity I tried to probably make people jealous or like give my attention to somebody else or you know that just that kind of like

young 20s type stuff and I know not everyone does that but I feel like I was guilty of that at times where I wasn't taking a relationship as seriously and then I would give attention elsewhere I don't know not not anything I'm proud of or would do now yeah but when it comes down to it when you're like but if we weren't together, could you have an actual life with that person? Like, once you're, you know, because everyone's going to be attracted to lots of different people. But once you feel secure and like, well, we've built something here, that's not disposable. Yeah. And I feel like I try to check in with myself and in my relationship where I'm like, don't get on, you know, autopilot.

Yeah. Not that I have to always remind myself, but every now and then I'll be like, I got a good thing. I got to like really nurture this. You got to water that plant. I got to water that plant. Yeah. God, this podcast, we linked.

I mean, vagina. Do you guys? I'm waiting for you to say it. I just, I don't even know what to do with you at this point. I don't even know what to do with you. Happy pride. You can't get out of every, every situation with it's Pride Month. You do that at Christmas.

It's the one month I can get away with this. I was waiting for a Fortune Marie, but. Fortune Marie. There we go. Yeah. In Dublin, they had pride flags all over the city. That was pretty cool. That doesn't get you out of trouble with me, though.

That's fine. In partnership with Airbnb, let's talk about our spring travel plans. Fortune, I feel like every summer my family gets a little bit more adventurous with our travel plans. But there's a hitch. Oh, yeah? What might that be? They're now getting really into competitive sports, and that means we're now traveling around their team's schedules. Hmm, let me guess. They're having you stay in a bare bones hotel on the side of a highway somewhere? That's right. So for the next big weekend,

we decided to mix things up and find a home on Airbnb to stay at instead. We found a place with a massive yard so they could keep playing baseball with their pals on the team day and night. Plus, it's got a pool, unlike the hotel we were supposed to stay at. It's even got a tree house. Wow, that sounds incredible. But I have one important question for you. Is there a hot tub?

Oh, fortune. There is indeed a hot tub. So maybe after the boys go to bed, Stephanie and I will have some tub time together. And that's what I love about finding a place on Airbnb. Instead of being trapped in our room, we get this whole unique experience. So if you're listening, go check out Airbnb and have your own adventure. Summer always makes me rethink what I'm reaching for every day. Lighter fabrics, better materials, pieces that just feel good the moment you put them on and look effortless.

I took my parents to Dublin actually

The airports Oh yeah how was that I took them to an escape room It was their first ever escape room And they could not wrap their head Around the fact that they were on the same That we were all in the same team Trying to get out of this room together

It was like Like my mom would find a clue And like hide it from my dad And be like I'm working on this one I found the code I know I'm not gonna give it to you It was like no we're trying to all get out On a clock

We're all Oh I didn't know you do that in a group Yeah you're like which is nice because some people have different skills. Yeah. Where, you know, some people are better at clues and some people are better at like searching for things. Yeah.

I passed by one in Berlin on the way to my show and I thought about you may, but I was like, well, there's no way I could do it in Berlin because it'd probably be in German. I would definitely get stuck the entire time. Oh, man, there's some, in like Eastern Europe, that's where escape room started and there's some that are really...

dark and immersive where it's like you're in an abandoned insane asylum and there's at live actors and yeah i would pay anything to watch you and your mom try to escape a room not in a not a really scary one but i don't know if i could count on her for much it's next because even in a hotel we'd be in a hotel room and she's like i don't know how to work the lights and i was like me i said well did you put did you push the button no i just know i don't know how to work I go, can you just try? Like, can you just like turn the knob and see what happened? No.

I guess. So she just like wouldn't even touch it. She'd be like, I don't know how to do it. Did you share a hotel room? God, no. Okay. I mean, I'm sure I broke even on my tour because of it. But I need me.

If I'm, I was so, it was so much traveling. I needed to sleep. and us sharing a room would not have provided that to me. So you could have easily gone to sleep in your room and your mom could have been up all night with her lights sewn bright and her shades open not knowing how to work anything? Oh, yeah, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it.

So we got separate rooms. Now, I have to go back. May. Yeah. What would you give to see me alone getting out of an escape room that was spooky? Well, I know that you have some claustrophobia. and I would, I would, if you just, a lot. So if you crawled up in a ball and just, we're trying to wait it out, that would be so heartbreaking to see. I'd like to see the three of us try to get out. Or, or you and Stephanie and Max and Finn would be pretty funny because I feel like Max and Finn would be incredible. So wait, you're locked in a room. Yeah, you're locked in. Well, but there's an emergency room, is it?

No, it's like any size room. Yeah, you're not. Any windows? No, usually not. No, no, no. Never mind. You couldn't. Often the room, there'll be like a bookcase and then you'll solve a clue and the bookcase opens. There's a whole other room. I'm in. That was all the thing. Sorry, but what about the bookcase? Oh, just like usually the room leads to other rooms and things like that. If you can get out. So you're never going to do one with me? Yeah, no. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. No. I always really respect who, I forget who it was. I texted.

Maybe it was Allison Brie and yeah, Dave Franco. And I said, do you guys want to do an escape room? She was like, I can't think of anything worse. No. She was like, I love her honesty. Yeah. And I was like, she was like, I can't think of anything I want to do less than be locked in a room in a high pressure environment. I was like, great. Thank you for honesty.

Coffee it is. See at the coffee bean. Oh, man. Well, should we get to our question? Yes. I'm excited. I love this band. I met them at the Juno's.

just a few months ago when I was hosting and we did a little bit together where I was kind of the dynamic was me like pathetically trying to become a part of their band their band's pretty cool they're cool as hell real cool they got two queer members

and two straighties love that that's like us I know exactly I'm the straight one oh no you're straight sorry yeah yeah oh right

today's question is brought to you by AT&T. Today's question askers are a Canadian rock band who've won multiple Juno Awards, including the past three years in a row for music group of the year. Their latest album is titled No Hard Feelings. The Beaches are asking today's question.

I will say about their band, they're very popular, but they're having a cool, like, boost right now because of this show called Off Campus. I think I told May about it. Let me Phil Tiggin. This is Fortune's new favorite show because it's hot college age people having drama and fucking. And, you know, Fortune loves like a glossy sort of youth drama.

I know Fortune loves a charcutory board. So this is like college charcutory? Yeah, I watched it all. It's a hockey team. And they're, you know, just up to the things that you're up already. No, that's a gay, that was a gay hockey show. this is straight guys in college. Yeah.

And they're just like bonin and it's fun. And yeah, everyone's good looking. And it's the hot new show right now. And Beaches had a song on it that's like popped off, as the kids say. G-Flip, friend of the pod, also had a song, Pop Off. And so I love seeing these queer folks getting, this mainstream success. It's very cool.

But yeah, that's the hot show right now, guys. I just have my finger on the pulse of pop culture. I don't know what to tell you. I also watch the entire series of the summer I turned pretty. I'm still enjoying my new life of waking up from a coma every day now that I'm not on social media. I just don't know what the hell's going on. I don't know what's happening and it's a blast.

You don't know who's popping off. I don't know what's popping on or off. I will say this. The girl that's very popular in a show, her name in real life is Mika, and next season is going to be focused on her character. I played her mom. Margaret Cho and I played her lesbian moms in a movie called Sex Appeal. And I had never played a mom before,

and I did not know how to do this or to relate or to be motherly. So my version of trying to be nurturing to my on-screen daughter was I would buy her a latte in the morning. And I would be like, here you go. And I felt that was my being motherly nurturing. Here's your coffee drink. She's awesome. I'm so happy for her that she's having this success. It's really cool.

Anywho. Back to the little. We haven't heard the question yet. We haven't. No, I just shout out to that. The shout to the beaches and off campus. Yeah. And all they're popping off with their pop-offs.

Everyone's popping off. When are we going to pop off? Just like vaginas. Oh, Jesus. Fortune free. Fortune. Hey, it's the beaches. I'm Leandra.

I'm Eliza. I'm Jordan and this is Conan. I'm Kylie. And our question for you is, what is your favorite queer bar? Ooh. Queer bar. Well, I will say,

there's not many I know they say queer bar but as far as lesbian bars there ain't many in the U.S. It's crazy. There's actual like stats of how they're all shut down. Under 20 or something, right? It's crazy.

Yeah, my friend's opening one. Good. Yeah, in like South Carolina. Yeah. Wow. I have a number of favorites. And they have a dog called Conan. The beaches have a dog called Conan.

I love it. Yeah. What's your favorite, TIG? Yeah. Well, when I first moved to Los Angeles, I got a job at Little Frida's Coffee Shop, which is where they had a night, or not nightly, a Thursday night stand-up show. And so I thought if I work behind the coffee bar, I can be sure to be around to get on that stage. And then it just also ended up becoming my, you know, door to, a social life. And right across the street from Little Frida's coffee shop was the Normandy room. Did you ever go there? I don't remember that. Yeah, I did. Yeah, the Normandy room was just like so low-key. They had two pool tables and like a bar and maybe a jukebox. Like it just was that's it. There was no dance floor. It's really just sit at the bar, have a drink, play pool. Very chill. Yeah, real chill. So it was just part of my routine of even after I didn't work at Little Frida's,

the Normandy Room was the bar that I like to go to because it was very tiny. Yeah, and very lit. Yeah, it was just such a perfect little, I don't even know if it would, I don't know that it's a dive bar, but it just kind of had a similar vibe to a little hole in the wall kind of place. Yeah. It wasn't over the top. at all. Loved it.

Yeah, it was a good one. How about you, Fortune? Well, my favorite queer bar used to be, these are all in the past. Oil can Harry's in L.A. was like my mecca for many years. It was a gay country Western bar. Yeah. That was there for decades.

And I still am sad. It no longer exists. Yeah, it's wild. I would country line dance and two-step there for years. Seeing those beautiful gay men twirl each other around was like breathtaking. I think that Dallas has a one called Stampede. So I have to check that out. But, you know, as far as there's, I love a couple of lesbian bars.

The cubbyhole in New York, really cool bar. Very, very, very tiny. That's still open. That's still open. Yeah. I believe Henrietta's as well. So I love seeing that there's a space like that. the may you went to the Nashville one that's really cool lipstick lounge I loved that

I actually I might say I might say that one yeah my two favorites are also close yeah in Nashville yeah I'm like karaoke with Thomas and that actor from um orange's new black was there Laura prep on that was yeah that I really liked that bar that's a good one Nashville also has I don't know if it's still there but play was a really good one a lot of fun drag shows um it's only like city weirdly enough you're around

yeah seriously you're getting around I've toured for 17 years back in my single days I would always go to the gay bars I've toured longer than that and I didn't know there you're just a real fuddy daddy aren't you I really am I guess I'm just taking walks and looking for vegan food so would you go like sit at the bar and like

see who's around Back in my Chelsea lately days, people would, you know, because Chelsea was a vibe, like a party vibe, drinking vibe. Like Chelsea Handler? Yes, I know that's hard to believe. Interesting. People would come to any of our shows that were on the show expecting us to want to like throw down. Now, I'm not a big throw downer, but those, I was back then, I was single and, you know, on a there for the weekend doing shows. And so usually people would come to the shows and be like, come to the gay bar.

And I would just be like, why not? So I don't really do that much at all. And it's been many years since I've done that. But back in my day, and I would love to go to drag shows were my favorite. I would love to go to the local gay bar and see a drag show. So yeah, I hit up the gay bar in Salt Lake City. I believe it's closed now. Because some of them kind of come and go and others are institutions.

It just really depends. But, you know, that's why our community is important for us to support these spaces. Yeah, my two favorites, like in my 20s that were really, there was a bar called the Beaver in Toronto. I don't know if you know. May. Yeah. May, Marie. It was so good.

Beaver Marie. And it was really, maybe it was just the time of my life that I was at, but it felt like, it was like kind of grungy. And they would have cool events and people were always like fucking in the bathroom or fights would have. Like it was a little, it was great. And they had a little back patio. and you could hang out there. So I miss that, that closed. But there's a lot of pictures of me with very plucked eyebrows and very skinny jeans

and bleached hair just being like, hey, what's up? In like a plaid shirt, like a little. Sounds like me. Yeah. Can I just say, speaking of a plaid shirt, I went and got a massage the other day in Toronto. And I go in in my just regular black and black. white flannel, okay? Yeah, yeah.

I'm in Canada. Yeah. Right? Mm-hmm. I go in to get a massage. A gay guy is behind the counter and he goes, oh my God, I love your sweater. And I was like, this is, this is a flannel. And he was like, I love it.

Isn't that a very common look in Canada, the red and black flannel? Yeah, maybe he would think so. like recognized you and sort of didn't know what to know no no maybe and he didn't realize he recognized me but he could not get over my quote unquote sweater i was like i love that how am i not the epitome of a gay guy's joke about a lesbian that i walk in in in a flannel and he's trying to make it a sweater anyway it was very bizarre go ahead back to gay bars well that one's yeah that one's closed now so yeah i'm going to go nashville lipstick clown but that feeling when you first come out and you first go to like, yeah, where you can fully be yourself

and you know that there's a real chance that people are pulling and hooking up and it's like, oh my God. It's not like, yeah, like pulling. You know, you can pull someone. Oh, okay, I see. Yeah. Because otherwise you go to a bar and it's like, all right, is there, who else is here? There is a lesbian bar in Austin when I lived there called Hollywood.

Hollywood. Hollywood. I'm trying to think where else I've been, San Francisco, one had something called Lookout. I like that one. Oh, the Stonewall Inn in New York is very iconic, obviously, from our history.

Sure. Oh, and Chicago has a really great gazing because they have a whole area called Boys Town. That's their gay area. And the sidetracks is a very popular gay bar there. That's really fun. Yeah, this is wild fortune. This is, you've listed like 50.

I know. Because I support our community. Come on now. I'll support our community, but, you know. You're not supporting them like I do. I know. I'm just shuffling around. Oh, also in Chicago, there's these lesbians that I'm friends with own a tavern called

Whiskey Girl Tavern. Shout out to them. And that's a great. place to hang to. There's a lot of great places. I think I just, you know, even though I'm older and I don't hang out at the bars as much. Oh, Atlanta has,

has something marries. Oh, let me look it up because I like that one a lot too. They should call a bar something marries because it'll sound like you're trying to remember the name every time. Let's go to something marriage. Oh, I think it's just called marries. But that one's really great. But yeah, I just, you know, I liked it when I was on tour because it just was always such a positive, great vibe.

Like it was always like happy and like accepting and you felt safe. And there's a bar called High Tops in L.A. Oh, yeah, High Tops. High Tops in L. It's like, yeah, High Tops is like a queer sports bar, like a lesbian sports bar, which is cool. Yeah, Akbar has a great stand-up show that, for years that Bruce Daniels and Aaron Foley have produced. That's a really great one.

I don't know if I've ever done that. Oh, it's, it was iconic. It's where I kind of cut my teeth with stand-up. And back then it would be like Karen Kilgiriff and Wanda Sykes and Paige Hurwitz. And that show still happens at Akbar? I believe it's maybe not every week, but it still happens. Yeah.

I just saw Wanda there a couple months ago. Doing an open mic. Just, yeah, working out material. It's a great place to work stuff out. But there are so many great bars. I don't want to bring it down, but my very, very first headliner gig after last comic standing was at Pulse Orlando. No way.

Wow. Wow. Really incredible club. The owners were so nice. And right before what happened, I had run into one of the owners at a human rights. campaign event in Columbus and they're like you got to come come back and I was like yeah and it was like months later all that happened which I that experience really rocked me just because of you know for gay people yeah I mean in general it's terrible but like for gay people the gay bars were our only

space for so many decades for you know gay people to be able to be themselves to be out to like love freely because for so long you couldn't and Yeah. So a gay bar, a gay space was like, that is our little, that's for us. You know, that's our thing. Yeah. And then obviously over the years, it's evolved. And now you've got a lot of straight bachelor's at these gay bars.

It's a whole different scene. You know, I was actually, some cool places. I was just in Orlando for an event. And they were, you know, it was. Memorializing. Yeah. Yeah.

It was really intense, beautiful. I remember when that happened, I went to a vigil in Toronto in the gay district for Pulse. And I forgot about my favorite queer bar in the world. Oh, yeah. Is it sweaty betties? Yes, sweaty betties on Ozington. That's tiny and glows red. And it's like they are really generous with their pores. And I have a lot of first dates there.

Oh, I love that. Any last dates there? I'm sure. First and last. I do like that the lesbians are starting to open up more of those sports bars. That's starting to be more of a thing. And I think a lot of them are doing well. Yeah.

Because lesbians notoriously don't go out, especially after they couple up. And that's how, what do you mean? So, I mean, it is true that once lesbians find a partner, they get cozy. They get cozy. They want to be at home and cook dinner and watch movies and cuddle and just gay it up, you know, and they don't go because they would go to the bars trying to find somebody. And so that is part of why a lot of the lesbian bars don't end up surviving.

But sports. Sports? Well, that's where they're learning is kind of the niche there is that lesbians, even in a couple still loves sports. See, now I'm not going to be able to, I'm not going to be able to get Stephanie to come home. Yeah, that's true. Sports bar watching that high tops bar that may mention serves corn dogs.

Really? Yes. Oh my God. I don't need, if I'm going there for anything, it's a corn dog. I just went there for Atlanta Johnston's birthday, and it was perfect because it wasn't too crowded. and no one was really dancing and then a Spice Girl song came on

and we all just intensely danced for just the duration of that song and then sat down and kept going with our combos What was the song? Spice Up Your Life. Yeah. Climb to the world. Spice up your life.

Everybody. It never heard of life. Now, should we hear their answer? Yeah. I'll just say I'm really excited for the World Cup soccer. Oh yeah. The World Cup is very exciting.

We got to watch. Are you going to go to any games? I think I prefer to watch it at home. I can see the sweater. You got to go to the lesbian bar and watch it there. That's actually a great idea to that. Thank you. When it gets down to the finals especially, yeah.

There is nothing. The men's World Cup is exciting, but for me, I'm a huge women's soccer fan. And when it is World Cup time or Olympic time, I am up in one of those bars, hardcore. I love it. I'm a person that wakes up at like 5.30 in the morning to see them play. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Anyway.

Let's hear what the beaches. I've been real chatty today. Sorry. I love it. Lord, you sure have. Nice. I've been stuck in Europe. No one speaks your language and no one to talk to but myself and my mom for two weeks.

Wait, when did you get home? Like, how long ago? Like three days ago. Oh, okay. Yeah. We really took the brunt of it. All right, let's hear. Let's hear their answer.

We have a couple of favorites. New York, Ginger's, LA, Honey's, Toronto, $3 bill. I have a story about honeys that when, you want to hear it? Yeah. Sure. Please. Come out of. When I was first dating Parv and I was like, I want to take her to like a queer party

and I took her to Honey's, and it was so crowded and hot. But it was fun there, but I guess we're dancing a bit. We made out a bit. And we ended up leaving. That night, Parv got a DM from a stranger that was like, Hi, Parvity, I hate to be the one to tell you this. This is going to be hard to hear, but I saw May making out with someone at Honey's tonight. And Parv was like, yeah, that was me.

Reardon. Yeah. I can't believe she wrote back. Wow. I think I was like, right of rack. You were getting, you were getting checked. I know. Like, what if?

Yeah. That's hilarious. They're like, may better not be up to any bad stuff. Yeah, that could have been like a Shakespearean misunderstanding. Nothing worse than a Shakespearean misunderstanding. Nothing worse. To a girl, you're right. There's a, man, fortunate you need here, man.

Misunderstanding. Good Lord. No, thank you. Or remember when Romeo didn't get that letter explaining? Do I remember? He died. He died as a result. They both died.

And it was just one big misunderstanding. Shakespearean misunderstanding. Shakespearean misunderstanding. Merge alert. Oh, you guys. Is that a podcast? Wait, is that a saying a Shakespearean misunderstanding? standing? I don't think so. It's just to try. It is now, kid. It is now. Kid, it is now.

I haven't heard of Gingers in New York or $3 bill in Toronto. Have you, do you know of $3 bill in Toronto? No. TIG, go tonight. And by the way, the phrase is, the queer, Emma's queer as a $2 bill. Is that what they used to say? No, queer is a $3 bill. It was three? I thought it was two. No, two and not queer because they exist. Do they? Wait, is it a two or three? Thomas, can you? Two in that queer. Can you Google that up?

Three, queer, queer than a two dollars. It's three dollar bill because there's no such thing is the three dollar bill. What I just say? Whatever. Does that mean the queer people that we're not, there's no such thing as us? I'm queer than a three dollar bill. So $3 bills don't exist and therefore we don't either. We need to drop that saying.

Well, TIG, I think that after your vegan meal tonight, you should walk over to $3 bill wherever it is. What would that be like? Go in your flannel sweater. You'd be like, but I mean, what would happen if I just went in alone to the $3 bill? You'd be mobbed. I'll have a, um, I'll just have a water. Oh.

No ice? Yeah, you go, can someone else order a glass of wine? I'll have a sip. Oh, my gosh. You know, we all have our lanes. We do. And I'm forever stuck in mine. Gladly, though.

Yeah, you're happy. That's all that matters. Happily in my... Listen, I'm too old to be hanging out at the gay bars all the time. Or any bar. It's not even just... Not even the gay bar, just any bar. I walk into a bar now and it's so loud.

And I'm just like, Oh, my God. You know what we have to put on the list is a top secret camera situation that follows each of us separately alone into a gay bar. Oh, my God, yeah. And see how that goes down. That would be pretty funny, actually. Yeah, it would be so funny.

Why isn't somebody making a TV show of our list? TIG just walks in and walks right back out. I'm being surrounded by it. people. I did this venue. Where was I? Albany. There's an Albany. And the venue is called the egg.

Oh, yeah. I've been there. You performed there. Okay. So the guy, this guy was like, have you been to the egg? And I said, I don't know. And he said, oh, you would know, it's in the shape of an egg. And I said, well, honestly, sir, I do feel like I could wander in and out of

an egg and not even realize it. But when I did leave the show, because I came in, you know, some weird back entrance and, you know, nothing looked too weird inside. And then I walked out the front door when I left. And I looked back and I was like, well, I'll be damned. That is the shape of an egg. It is. Really, really great crowds there. But anyway.

Any Hoosers. Any Hoosers. It was wonderful to see you all. You all. Wonderful to see you. Head on out to Colorado Springs on July 16th to see me. I'll be also in Calgary. I'll be in Oklahoma City, Cincinnati, Charleston, West Virginia, Fresno, Napa,
