This is a headgun podcast. Checking all state first could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking that when you order a cowboy hat online, you get the right size. Big mistake. Now I'm showing up at the country western dance in a hat made for a toddler. Yeah, checking first is smart. So check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds.

In partnership with Airbnb, let's talk a little bit about travel. TIG, as you know, I'm about to go on my first big tour around the United States. And while I'm traveling in a bus, I want to make sure I get a couple nights in a nice comfy bed that's not on wheels. So I'm going to book a couple nights day on Airbnb. That sounds like a plan, May. What area are you looking? Well, I'm going to be in Florida, which I'm very excited about. And I'd love to find somewhere with a hot tub or a sauna that I can relax in. Maybe some nice nature nearby, like a big park or something. I love finding a home on Airbnb because I know I can get the place all to myself and I can read tons of reviews and make sure it's a great place. Airbnb also has guest favorites badges that show me the highest rated and most loved homes. I've just never gone wrong booking one of those. You know, I swam with sharks in Florida. Is that something you would ever try? I hadn't thought about that, but if I'm near the ocean, then who knows? Maybe I will. On the other hand, if I find a really nice place on Airbnb, I may just never want to leave. Handsome child, friends of handsome pod, chatting with friends of handsome pod. Pretty little episode. I'm Fortune Feemster. I'm Tick Notaro and we're feeling warm and cozy together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. And warm and cozy. We put our video over the holidays where you were kissing on us. And everyone was like, all the romance and chemistry is really cool. Really coming through here. I don't know how to be sandwiched between May Martin and Fortune Feemster and not kiss all over you. I'm doing it for our fan base. I know they're all feeling it. They're all thinking it. You just can't do it. You can't control yourself around us. I can. But I'm doing it for the love of our listeners because you know that they're like, if I was there, I'd be kissing on them. So I'm just like, all right, I'll do it for you. Well you've created a real will they want they moment on the pod, you know? And that's between all three of us? Yeah. Okay. Will they want they? Uh huh. What do you think's going to happen? Do you think we will or do they we want? I think that's what we keep keep it stringing along. Yeah. So people keep listening. So they because they don't know. Am I going to leave Stephanie for fortune? Never ever ever. Oh, I never noticed your accent. Never ever. How long have you all been together now? 13 years? Wow. Yeah. Well, would you have guessed? I thought it was somewhere around like 12, but yeah, that can't believe you're keeping up with that. No, well, it's because I knew both when y'all got together. Yeah. I'll be honest, this February is 13 years. Okay. Well, you're right. We're right there. Yeah. Is it Valentine's? It is. It's exactly Valentine's. It is? Y'all smooched on Valentine's. That's when it happened. That's romantic. And it wasn't even plant people roll their eyes and they're like, oh, yeah, right. Yeah. We truly didn't. We didn't, we, there was no plan. Yeah. I just met up with her that night and now here we are 13 years later with two kids, three cats and a production company. Well, you smooched that night. She freaked out and then you gave her, she gave you the letter, the email and you said, okay, Dyke, which was infamous part of your love story. It is. Yes. We smooched and then her email was 43,000 pages telling me she could not date me. That she not gay. I would love to just picture her writing that. I wonder how long it took her and not wanting to like hurt my feelings and be like, you know, complimentary about how fun it is to hang out and then, you know, of course I was so bummed because I really thought, wow, I can see a future with this person. And then yes, I wrote in response to her email, I wrote, okay, Dyke. When you did read the whole thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I remember sitting there feeling bummed. I was like, God. But I was like, yeah, obviously I can't pursue this. Yeah. I got to let it go. So leave it on a funny note. And I had no idea that funny note was going to be changed. Or made her, yeah. She was like, oh, I like her. I had a number of those back in the day where I liked somebody and like throw it out there and I got the big fat no. And you didn't respond with okay, Dyke. No, I think I was like, cool, cool, cool. All right. All right. Well, all right. So when you throw it out there, do you throw it out there with some flirting or do you throw it out there with a little bouquet of flowers delivered to someone door, someone's door and saying, I've had my eye on you. Well, this was a long time ago. So I mean, someone would be crazy to turn me down now. Of course. Of course. Of course. Everyone relaxed. Fortune was just kidding. I'm kidding. Of course, they'd be crazy to turn you down. You're a catch. I stand by this. But back in the day, I was not as much as I was not a catch. I was kind of awkward because I came out late. So it was, you know, I just didn't know how to, I wasn't very smooth. And I probably had a little bit of desperation dripping off of me. Like, please, go on out there with me. If not saying that out loud the whole time, no, you're right. I think I would, from what I remember, I would hang out with the person quite a bit and get to know them. And I felt like I was being flirty, but it was, I was always confused because people wanted to be my friend. Yeah. And they wanted to hang out with me, but I didn't know if it was ever more. Yeah. And it would get to the point where I had developed such a crush that I would, I couldn't like hold it in anymore. And I would just, I think I would call and be like, hey, any chance I could take you out on an actual date. And every now and then I got a yes. And then sometimes I would get a, no, I just want to be friends. And that was always a bummer, which that happened between us. I know. Yeah. So when you asked me out, we were not each other's types. No. People are going to hear that and believe it. That never happened. That never happened. And I never went on a date nor asked each other on a date. No. But we did have dinner with a friend of ours that was not a date. What? Remember Jamie Babbit. Oh, right. And Carrie was there. Dornetta. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She, because I think we talked about the pot of long time ago, Jamie wrote, because we were like, well, she tried to set us up and she wrote, I was not. I just wanted my funny friends to meet. Yeah. But I didn't think it was. We had already met though, but she wanted us to spend time. But we didn't get to know each other. We started podcasts a decade later. She's like one day, dangerous, renalial, sorry podcast. Yeah. I haven't seen Jamie in a while, have you? I haven't a minute. No, but it was funny when she takes it after that episode. It would be like, I was not setting up all those like, I know. I know. That's funny. And here we are. Here we are. About to answer some questions to our lovely listeners. Let's do it. Let's get into it. Why would we wait any longer? Let's don't wait. Let's stop waiting. Thomas? Hi, handsome pod. My name is Kristen and I live in Baltimore. My question is, are there two people in the entertainment world who you would like to see do a collaboration? Maybe two singers who you think should do a duet together or two actors who would make a great rom-com? Just something that you think would be fun and interesting. I know right off the bat. What are you? What's you got? Yes. I want an album entirely. 12 tracks, if not more. Okay. Of Paul Simon and Edie Berkel. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That would be good. They've never done that. I think they've like... Or a long time ago. I mean, they've performed together and he produced her solo album. But she had mentioned something recently to me about them performing or doing something together. And I was like, I... That's all anybody wants on this planet. Is Paul and Edie doing a full album of duets? That would be cool. Whatever... Whatever you... Yeah. Not just like backup vocals, not just every other song. Like a whole album. Give it to us. Give it. Mm-hmm. Let's see. I would like to see Will Farrell and Chris and Wig do like a limited series podcast together. Oh. They're so funny. I think about them. They've given out awards together a couple times. Mm-hmm. They did this one where they did this like, you get out of here. It's this whole bit that was like so funny. Just like little things like that that they do together crack me up. Yeah. So I'd like to see them at silliness. Yeah, I like silly people together. What if they were like, we're not going to do that, but what we can do is a duet album. I would love that too. They did a lifetime movie together. They did? Yeah. And they did it like, serious. Like they were like not making fun of lifetime movies. They're like, we want to do a lifetime movie. That is amazing. Yeah. So I want more from them. I want to see, they're already kind of a duo at times, but I want to see Tina Fey and Amy Polar host an award show again together. Mm-hmm. But musically I can't think of who I would want to sing together. How about Paul Simon and Edie Brickell? Let's go with that one. All right. Does Kristen tell us who she was? I bet it's Edie Brickell and Paul Simon. For me, my answer is whenever I see the comedian Dmitry Martin, I always think of Kate Maccucci. And every time you guys mention Kate Maccucci, for some reason I think of Dmitry Martin. And I know that their energies are pretty different, but they live in the same place in my brain. And I would just love to see what those two crazy kids would come up with if they did a collaboration. I think it would be really fun and interesting. They're both so multi-hyphenant talents. And that's my answer. Thanks. I'm going to see that, actually. Yeah, yeah. For sure. They have, I don't know if this, I mean, is the word quirky, right? I mean, I feel like that's kind of not really giving them the credit that they deserve. Right. But they have, they're not, even though they've broken through in mainstream ways, they're like they have such different ways of thinking about things and approaching things. Yeah. That would be interesting. And they're both brunette. What a lovely cover that would be. Yeah, kind of both have ball haircuts. It's perfect. They're both artists. Yeah. And it's called Maccucci. No. Oh wait, Demetri, me, Cucci. How about Dem Cucci's? There you go. Tick-mari. That's it, Tick-mari. All right. What else we got, Mr. Thomas? Hi, Hansons. My name is Nick. I live in the UK and I have a question for TIG. So I work at a university and I teach film history and film media theory. And this year I'm teaching a class all about emotion in film and how different types of films evoke different kind of physical or emotional responses in the audience. And one of the topics is documentary films. And this year I decided to screen, come see me in the good light to my students. And I was wondering, what kind of discussion questions do you think you would want the students to be asked once they've seen the film? What kind of discussions do you think they should be having? What kind of conversations would do you think would be the most useful or do you kind of envision as being the perfect response to the film? Okay. Thank you. Bye. Nick, thank you. That means a lot and I'm so thankful that the movie spoke to you. You know what? I'm really interested in just the idea of death. And your own death. And what are you? I mean, obviously some people don't have the lead up or knowledge that they're going to be dying. But I think that before Andrea's death and before this documentary, I did not think much about my own death and what I wanted. And having been at end of life bedside before Andrea, I was at three other ones. And what I really noticed was that the conversation wasn't very open. There was a lot of like, look, you can't avoid sadness and fear and dread and all of the stuff and regret and whatever it is. But I really would be curious to hear people in your class, Nick, talk about or explore the idea of what they want in the final days and the time of their death. If they have that luxury of planning and preparing, which to some degree everyone can have that if they get started and it's made me realize and I have been introducing it more to Max and Finn. And I'm trying to not present death as like this horrendous, terrible thing. And of course it is. It's so sad and emotional. But it can be beautiful and it can be life changing in this bold, exciting way if you embrace it. And of course I know death is so different with every person, family, illness and end of life. But that is what Andrea's death and this movie has done to me is it's made me change my idea and it's made me not look at it like something to just ignore, push away and dread until it's coming and then it happens and then it's devastating and of course that can still happen when it's when you're planning and you're keeping the conversation open. But that's if I don't know, I feel like I'm talking in circles, but does that make sense? It totally makes sense. Yeah. Those are important conversations to have too. It is. But to really actually have them. And yeah, and there's a ticket, doesn't it? Is it going to happen one day? Yeah. And I was at a Christmas, a friend's Christmas dinner and two of my friends, friends, I didn't know, I know them and I see them regularly at her house, but I didn't know that these two women have been getting certified as death duals. And it just like changed our conversation. We've had such casual conversations together when we see one another. Oh my gosh, was it different? And now we have these follow up texts and now we're going to meet and talk more about death and their certification or whatever they're studying to become death duals. And yeah, I'm just so fascinated because I think it can be a positive thing. If you're open to positive, I mean, of course, it's crazy to say that. Well gaining stuff from it, you know, knowledge, just being old depth. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Anyway, that's just where I am. And I would be so interested to hear students talk about that. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Anyway, that's my answer, Nick. Should we do a quick question? Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. Click, click, click. Click, click. Hey Handsom's. This is Joyce from Fort Smith, Arkansas. And my question for you today is, are you afraid of clowns or do you find them creepy? I think the general consensus is yes. Yes, when you ask most people, but I want to know your thoughts, your way in, why or why not? I've never had that thing. Some people think they're the creepiest and so scary. Obviously, a movie like it, they're meant to be the villain and creepy, so they're leaning into that. But they've never been a source of weirdness for me. Same things. Right. I mean, I don't say they can lend itself to creepiness with the clown music and stuff, but yeah. I just, when people are like, oh my god, clowns are so creepy. I'm like, sure. They're much creepier things in my opinion. I know. I'm like, okay, I'm clearly missing something that it's not like I want to go to a clown conference and know offense to the clowns listening, but and do your um, there you go. The clown horn. Yeah. Um, do you want to do it? Fortune? I can't do it. No, you can't. Thomas? That's pretty good. Fortune, you want to try again? No, no. All right. Well, that's what I can't be graded everything. No, it's impossible. Does Joyce have an answer? Yeah. Does Joyce think clowns are creepy? Do you think Joyce is going to think so? I'm going to assume she thinks they're creepy for her to have asked this question. I'm going to say she doesn't. Okay. Yeah. My answer to that question is no. Um, and my why is because as a kid, my mom was a clown. Um, she was, she had some odd job. She's a hairdresser and on the side, you could hire her to do your kids' birthday party and she would dress up as um, sometimes a character, but uh, most of the time it was as a clown. She did balloon animals and all that was really fun. Um, my dad's also a stand-up comedian. So we had a pretty eccentric childhood me and my sisters with a comedian dad and a clown mom. So wow. Yeah. Can't wait to hear your answer. That's a fun, a fun house. Yeah. Literal fun house. So yeah, she's used to clowns. So yeah. Not creepy there. Yeah. It's never, that's never been a thing that I've been like, oh my god. Clowns are so creepy. Probably just because I like hearing that clown horn you do. Offer. All right. Well, lovely. What another great group of questioner. What an honor? Yes. And you know, speaking of honors, it was a real honor and privilege to record this episode on my parents birthday. Yeah. My mother and father born January 16th. So happy birthday. Here's to them. Tell me their names again. Well, my mother's real name was Mattiel, which is my name. Yeah. But she went by Susie. Uh-huh. And then my father was a Pasquale no Tau. Pasquale. He went by Pat though. I love it. What a name. What a name. Well, here's to your parents. Here's to them.
