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. You're in good hands with all state. Potential savings varies subject to terms, conditions and availability. All state North American insurance company and affiliates Northbrook, Illinois. 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, childhood friends, all mad, some part, childhood friends, all the handsome part. Pretty little episode. Hi, it is your dearest friend in the entire world, Tignotaro. I was sitting here with your other friend. That's the most important in the entire world. So you said, no, it's not fortune beamster. Hi, fortune. You are the most important person in my life. Oh, you stop. And I don't believe you. I don't either. I'll be honest, I don't believe that. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? So funny. It's the last time we did one of these. It was your folks birthday. Well, tomorrow is my mom's birthday. Really? I mean, I know it's kind of a stretch, but in the same vein. You know what I mean? Sure, sure. And would old Jenge, mine tell us how old? This is a big one. 80. 80. I can't, I truly cannot believe it. Wow. She looks really good. She looks very good. Yeah. It's just, yeah, 80 years old. That just doesn't seem I'm glad she's here. Listen, I'll take it. I'm grateful. And she's active, heading out, sitting on benches and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. She's doing pretty good. We're going to have a big party for her. I'm filming right now. So I wanted to do it around this time, but it just will be easier once I wrap. So she was fine to wait till March. So we are going to have a little party for her for some of her good friends. Great. Mostly family, but just to win in March, because if it lands on my birthday, maybe we could do a double. You're going to come to Belmont with your line and celebrate that I won. Late March. That's what my birthday is. March 24th. Oh, it's not that day, but close. Oh, sure. 28th. I, 28th. Yeah. I can stick around. We can do it right into Melon. Yeah. We can do the 26th right in between. I would love for you to have a joint birthday party. That would be hilarious. I'm sure we have the same friend group. Totally the same friends. What are her friends like? Are they just like, Ginger? Yeah, they're fun. There's a whole group of them called the Yaya's. And they get together a couple of times a month for lunch or whatever. They celebrate the birthdays of the month. We'll all celebrate with one meal. And how do they know each other? Years and years of just growing up in Belmont. I mean, they've been a friend group for decades now. And a lot of us, some of them had kids all the same age. So my friends are in that friend. My friends moms are in that mom group. And then they have their own, then they branch out and do stuff individually with a little bit of the Yaya's. Are you tight with the kids of the friends? I was growing up. I just don't see people as much. But if I saw them, it would be great to see them. But it's a wonderful friend group. I'm so glad she has them. It's funny. A couple of guys about, I want to say, seven, six, seven years ago, I filmed this thing for Comedy Central. Congrats. In my hometown. And they came and they had my mom's, the Yaya's come over. And a lot of that footage got cut in this thing. But I would so wish I had it because it was so great seeing her friends all together. And I wonder if you could get in touch and have someone dig it up. I bet it's somewhere. Maybe. And funny enough, the cameraman for that project was that screening I went to of your documentary because he made a good light. And I hadn't seen him since. And he was there with my mom filming all their friends. It was really a special experience. So that's amazing. Yeah. But yeah, she has those friends. They all. I'm telling you, this is your job right now. As you got to reach out to Comedy Central and see if there's any way to track that footage down. You will be so glad you did that, Fortune. You got it. Because they were all on that day just like yapping and cutting each other off and making jokes. And it was really sweet. And your reps can help you hunt that down. You got to do it. It's one day of work for you to do. Yeah. I don't know. It will be. I got out of that footage because it was all about me and my mom. Yeah. And I'm sure we got some cool stuff that when they aired it, it was supposed to be about comedians and their moms. They barely showed anything that they filmed. It was very odd. They showed more stuff of me on stage and they did the footage in my hometown. Interesting. I know. I have all this pretty great footage of the two of us that I would like to get a lot of it. I don't know how that works, but I'll have them look into it. Yeah. Yes, you will. That's exciting. Yeah. Shout out, Ginger. Yeah. The Yaya's Fortune Feemster and the Yaya's is the band name. That's right. Well, that's all I got. Well, let's get into our questions. Hi, handsome. This is Hope calling from Georgia. First of all, thank you so much for the endless entertainment. One of the things I love to do besides listening to your podcast is do road trips and stop at weird roadside attractions like, I don't know, like largest ball of yarn where I recently went to see a peanut shaped like Jimmy Carter. My question is if you had to design a new roadside attraction and I know I'm going to get pushed back on the had to like why you have to. So let's say you are going to earn money for this that goes to charity. Charity of your choice. What roadside attraction would you design and tell me a little bit about it? Have you ever been to one of those random roadside things? I think I've seen the ball of yarn or the rubber bands or whatever. I stopped into I think with Arlington, Texas, they have a bunch of like Cadillac's in the ground like standing up. It was kind of crazy. I don't know why, but it's there. The end. I think I would personally like just right out of the gate, what I would love to see is just like a huge animal sanctuary adoption place where you're on the road, you're exhausted. And I'm talking a big one like where you pull off the side of the road and you just pet kittens and dogs and old grandpa animals and just like, you know, you're just like, all right. That was fun, but also I'm going to take mittens with me. And I mean like a circus of animals out there. They're all treated very well and oh well, of course. I'm going to have a roadside attraction where animals are getting abused. That's right. I'm just saying this is like the place to go. It's like a spa here. Yeah, yeah, for animals. But they also, but there's so many that they need for ever homes. Yes. They can't adopt them though. It's just so fun to like run around with cows. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Love a cow. That's not fun. I love it. That sounds great. I just saw a very long haired cow really like flowing in the wind hair. Oh, yeah. I don't see many of those. I've never seen one. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, just that would be a site for sore eyes. Yeah. If you're like on the road for days and hours and weeks. I like that. Well, I, you know, now that I'm a Disney beaver, I would have said I would have some kind of beaver attraction, but Bucky's kind of cornered the market on that. They beat me to the punch. Those are, have you been in a Bucky's? I have. And what is your feeling about Bucky? They're ginormous. Well, I know their size, but what I mean, you know that I like the novelty of it. You go in there and hear him yelling about brisket sandwiches and pick out a million different versions of beef jerky or fudge. It's a lot though. You know, I like to get out. I don't go lolly gagging. Well, here's my thing. I'm very confused about. Mm hmm. Like people's obsession with Bucky's. Like I don't, I don't, I don't get it. I'm just like, right. There's guests here and then there's a place where you can buy a bunch of stuff. Yeah. Who cares? Like why is everyone buying shirts about it and like talking to friends? You gotta go to Bucky's and oh my God, you go to Bucky's and like, I don't think you're the target audience. No, I'm not. And I'm not the target audience to talk to me about Bucky's. Yeah. Well, because they're going in there for brisket and jerky and those aren't your things. Already, they've lost you. Even if they had vegan brisket and jerky all down the aisles, the whole hype around it. Yeah. I'm like, who cares? Who cares? Well, I'll tell you something they did. Two things they did that were interesting to Marcy. This isn't anti-bucky's. This is anti-the people freaking out about Bucky's. I hear you, but I'm going to highlight two things that people do like about it. One, they don't allow any of those big transfer trucks. And those can't get a little intimidating to drive around that gas station on the road. So people are kind of into that. They don't allow that. That's not what I'm talking about. The other thing they did is they catered to women, which is unusual, by their marketing plan was, uh, plain bathrooms. Planned bathrooms. Like clean bathrooms. Mm-hmm. And I will say their bathrooms are unbelievable. I understand this. I know all of this. I'm all for Bucky's. All right. I'm not all for the people that are acting like this is some, like, like we need to merchandise. Right. And we need to tell everyone alive how incredible Bucky's. Well, I think it's like one of those things that just kind of becomes part of the, like, culture, how people wear like waffle house t-shirts, you know? I don't know. It just becomes like, yeah, I feel like Bucky's is a whole different thing. Yeah. Well, it's kind of like a circus. I don't know. I don't know. Well, I think it's also kind of my response when, what was that frozen yogurt place everyone went nuts about? Oh, a pink barrier. Yeah, a pink barrier. And then, like, the donut place that everyone was going nuts and a hubbub. I know. I'm just like, go in and get your donut, go in and get your jerky, go get your gums. It's just cork it. Cork it. Quit acting like a nerd. You're mouth about a gas station. I mean, get a life. Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't know I had that much pent-up. Pent-up anger around it. I thought you got it out. Me too. Whew. It's been a long time coming. Was that a question we had? Like, why am I talking about a circus? No, I'm talking about a circus. They already did what I would do, which would be a beaver place. Oh, roadside attraction. Yeah. I don't really have other than that. I don't have anything random. I just want food. I just want a bunch of pastries and pies. Yeah. And then maybe some lesbian music play in like Melissa Etheridge or something. All right. Well, does hope have an answer? Come to my bookies. Go get your pies. So roadside attraction, I would design. It would be like a giant TV with like a row of giant books on top. And then like inside, you would see like weird artifacts that were like supposedly from big movies, but like, you know, for sure, they're just like totally made up or like, you know, like a gum wrapper found on the set of screen. Something like that. Thank you. Okay. Okay. I like it. I like it. Hope. We like it. Hope. And we like when people send in questions and answers and who's the next one? Who's the next one? Hi, handsome pod. My name is Andy. I'm from Houston, Texas. So my question to you is, I have a friend that I've been friends with for years and I love her. She's a very, very kind hearted person. She's the embodiment of treat how people, how you want to be treated. My issue is that she tends to tell, shall we say, tall tales. And she does this a lot. So much so that I find myself kind of zoning out when she's telling me tall tales. My question to you guys is, what should I do about this? Should I call her out? Should I go along with it? Should I subtly let her know that I don't really believe what she's telling me? How would you guys address this? Well, I absolutely love the pod. I was something I feel like we desperately need in these times. You guys are my favorite silly. Oh, thanks. Oh, finally some advice. Well, first of all, I don't believe that she has friends that lie to her. No. I don't know. It doesn't sound like a friend. I've been friends. I was just being funny. Oh, I was actually like, she's a liar too. Oh, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Do you think the people that, because I know some people that exaggerate like that, do you think they realized they're doing that? Yeah, really? Yes, yes, I do. Have you encountered this in your own life where you've had to say something to someone? Yes. And you did say something? Yes. Yeah. Well, you're pretty straightforward like that. Yeah, but I'm not doing it in a like, you're lying to me. Right. I suggest that. In a way of like, hold on a minute. Right. You know, we're all be like, backup. You're, I need clarity here. I need clarity. You're telling me that this, this, and this happened. Or they'll kind of big talk like, oh, if this happened, I would just do this. Yeah. And then I'm like, would, I'm sorry. But would you really just do, you know what I'm saying? The other thing, and I feel like I've talked about it on this, on this show is, there was this guy. And believe it or not, before I knew I was gay, he was pursuing me. Yeah, he was, he was calling and he was, I mean, lying his face off. Oh, really? Oh, my God. And you can tell. It was like the craziest lies every time. And I remember, I actually knew him from long ago and we ran into each other as adults. And I remembered it about him as a kid, where I was like, this guy. Right. So as an adult, I'm like, wow, he's still doing this, but it's like on a bigger scale. Yeah. And he was clearly trying to do it to impress me. And the last time I ever heard, I've ever heard from him, he lied to me. Of course, I don't have proof, but I know. You just have to, you just have to have, you can kind of tell when someone's like, let me tell you what he put on. Let me tell you what he told me. And this was, I was so irritated. And like, this is before caller ID and I would never know it was him and I pick up and I go, I believe. And one, and his favorite band was Aurem. Yeah. Loved Aurem. Well, he calls me and what do you know? He's backstage at Aurem. Yeah. Yeah, he's hanging out with them. But you know what he took a beat and he went to the pay phone to call me. Right. To just chat. I remember the time of my life. He's having the time of his life. I go call to God at step away. I'd even just enjoy the time of my life, but I need to go call, call, call tick from the pay phone. Long distance. Long distance. Yeah. To let call they called those. It wasn't collect. He paid. He paid. Oh, good. And so anyway, after I was sitting there rolling my eyes so irritated, that this guy, like you think I'm like on what planet did you end up backstage at your favorite bands? Right. And of course, I understand it happens, but this was just, it was par for the course of this guy. Yeah. And I'm sitting, I finally come up, after I get off the phone, I come up with the perfect thing to say to a liar. Yeah. But I never heard from him again. And what I should have said to him when he was telling me he was backstage partying with Aurem, I should have said me too. That is funny. That when it hit me, I was like, that is the best thing to say to a liar is just tell them you're doing the same thing. Like, oh my God. You're backstage. I'm backstage at Aurem too. Where do you want to meet? Because like he's not going to call me a liar. Right. He's probably going to hang up the phone. That's so funny. I've never even occurred, that ever occurred to me. He never occurred to me either, but he drove me so crazy. Yeah. Drove me so crazy. So yeah, those are different levels of confronting a liar where it's like hold on, back up. I need clarity. Yeah. And kind of get into it, make them a little nervous and have them explain themselves. Because if you're not lying and somebody says back up, I need clarity. Yeah. You don't take that person. No big deal. You need all the clarity you want. And then you have some unhinged lunatic that is like, I landed a 747 on a freeway and you're like, oh yeah, me too. What was your experience like doing that? It is the best feeling. That is funny. Anyway. So yeah, I like something like that. I don't recommend just like calling, being like, you're lying. I'm more of just like, yeah, like, wait, what was that? Come on now. You know that, didn't that? I kind of start teasing people like, well, we early on, we joke with May because May told us, I think it was like, we're in our first recordings at the internet without it would be on at 1030. And take it. I looked at each other like, okay. Yeah. That's when their date has to get not leave to go to work. So when May got on, take it. I just gave May so much shit, but in a fun way where May was laughing and we were laughing because May was like, but kind of bust is sort of thing. So there is a way to go about it where it can still be like, you know, light. Yeah. It goes back to like your intentions and your delivery. And you know, as long as you're not harboring some, I mean, I mean, it is crazy making when somebody is consistently lying. It's like, that's, it is tough. So I feel for you, Andy. But I think you can find a happy medium between hold on. I need some clarity. This is, I'm confused. Walk me through this. Even down to me too. Yeah. And it's a whole new me too movement. That's right. And if it becomes a thing where they're like just being dishonest about every, like it's not just like tall tells, like trying to like appear cooler is one thing, but just like straight up lying, then you can make a decision if that's somebody you want in your life or not. Yeah. Because when someone lies like about everything all the time, that's, it's tough to have a deep friendship with that person. For sure. That's the luck to Andy. Hopefully, hopefully that helps. We did it again. Yeah, we did it again. If you have any other advice, look how good we are at this. We just fixed everything. We just fixed Andy's entire life. You can send us questions here or ask us any kind of advice at speakpipe.com slash handsome pod. For sure. Well, what a treat. Delight, delight. Also check out Tignotaro.com for all of my tour dates.
