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. All 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 child, friends on the handsome pod, Chadna friends on the handsome pod. Pretty little episode. Welcome to the handsome pod. This is a pretty little episode on your pretty little host, Mae Martin. Join by your pretty little host, Fortune Feenster. And hello, and hello, my friend. Good to see you. Good to see you in your baby blue. Zip us and I don't want you to get too attracted to me because my eyes be popping. They really are popping when I wear blue, Mae. Yeah. I'm the same people tell me I should wear blue. That's the color. I like blue and I like green because it makes my eyes pop. Yeah. What color your eyes? They're blue. Mmm. Do you remember in the Princess Bridge, she says, his eyes were like the sea before a storm? Oh, that's how I always think about romantic. I wish someone said that about me. Are you into people's eyes? Is that a thing? You know, some people are just like, they're really eye people. I mean, no. I struggle with eye contact. But I mean, I like eyes. I like eyes. But my main thing is hands. I like people's hands. And I notice I write away hands too. Yeah, hands are pretty crucial. I love on a lady too, especially that like a strong hand, but it has like kind of that feminine nail with the good scratchies. Oh, you like that? Yeah, yeah. A little scratchy nail. Okay. Yeah. I just think the way people use their hands when they talk too is like, it has a lot about them. But also do you think, you know, gave people, especially us look at hands a little bit more. Right. Because they're an important tool. Because they're important. They're crucial what we're doing around here. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. So maybe we notice them more. I look at hands as if it's looking at cleavage like I really. Yeah. Interesting. Mm-hmm. What's going on? I'm about to start a new movie. Yeah. I'm, I'm a gear nut for that. So it's going to be a crazy busy couple months, but I'm very excited because it's the first movie I've had a starring role in. That's massive, dude. Yeah. So it's going to be a lot of work. It's going to be long days and a lot of memorizing every day. There's not me and the gals I'm doing it with are in like every scene, but like five. Right. So it's going to be a lot of quick turnarounds of, oh, I had a, I filmed all day and now I got to memorize. Yeah. For tomorrow, but it'll be good. And do you, are you, do you do any kind of prep for your performance? Like sort of, do you have like an acting coach you check in with or anything? Not for this one, just because it's a big broad comedy. And they, I know the writer, Paula Pell, very funny, um, SNL writer for many years and very funny actress as well. Paula wrote it with her wife, Janine, uh, Brito, and they are super talented. So I, uh, I, the part feels very in my will house. So I would try to be going to an acting coach to, uh, learn how to do it myself, how, right, how I would my, as myself, um, it's a lesbian character, quite a shock. Um, but yeah, I feel pretty confident with this one of, of, um, grass being the, the vibe here. Yeah. Great. I just want everybody, uh, I, I just want it to be a very, um, good camaraderie among the four girls. It's all about the four of us. So yes. Hopefully we just like get comfortable and so I wanted to be silly and fun. Yeah. Cause that'll make you more funny if you're trying to make each other laugh. And yeah, who were the four again? Are you allowed to say? Yeah. Nikki Glazer, um, Kim Kardashian and Brenda Song. That's insane. That's insane. That's right. That's right. Oh my god. Skin care tips from you. Do you think we say skims too? I do think we're going to get a question from Kim. You got two months. I got to fill it out. I got to fill it out first before I go in hot for a question. Yeah. You're right. You got to buy your time. I don't know like how, you know, when people that famous, I never know how guarded they are with stuff. I mean, you know, cause you, when you approach someone about a question, if they're not familiar with the pod, you just go, Hey, you want me on my pod and you can see people's faces. Oh, yes. Oh, God, another podcast. Yeah. What you need is an ally like Nikki Glazer to say exactly. Oh, Kim, did you know fortune does a podcast and it's so easy to do because you just send in like a two-sided question for us. She did. And, uh, and I saw at the gloves, Nikki was like, Y'all's podcast is huge and I was like, Yeah, people love it. It's awesome. But if someone's not familiar with it and you go, Hey, you want to do a question and they're like, Oh, God, cause it, yeah, those of you that don't know every person in the world in this business has been asked to a podcast a thousand times over. Yeah. I remember hearing that Sarah Silverman at her annual parties. There was a sign on the door that was like no asking people to be on your podcast. Yeah. Which I really respect. Yeah, cause you just get cornered by everybody, especially comedians, cause it's like, you, you know, no people just from the clubs and you want to help them out. And then you're like, Oh, gosh, there's just no time of the day to do all these podcasts. So then you're like, no, it literally is like 90 seconds. I promise it's easy. Then they get more relaxed about it. Well, I have faith in you. I think you're, I think we can make it happen. If you can get Arnold, you can get Kim. I know. That was a good one. Yeah. I'm old. I got to get Will at some point as well. Will Farrell. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. Well, I'm excited for you about that. How are things going with you? Things are good. I'm. Yeah. Things are pretty good. What's going on? I'm just writing, trying to write my, my standup show. I still, it's still called the Possum. I still have no material about Possums. Yeah. That's all right. Yeah. But I'm, I'm researching. I'm writing. And my friend Joe's coming back to LA soon to start working a new TV show. We're, we're developing. So yeah. That's good. But yeah, I'm in a bit of a follow period. Okay. Nice in a nice way. That's good. And your tour starts when? And a, end of, end of February. Okay. So, so this is the period of time where you can just breathe a little bit. Yeah. And I'm really, it's like sinking in because I get my like social battery gets low. Like I, I, and it's sinking in like being on the tour bus for two weeks where you're doing like two shows a night sometimes and doing the meet and greets after. I'm like, yeah. Okay. How am I going to really, yeah, be robust and mind-h-gay. I got to make sure I'm sleeping. Yeah. Yeah. Are you excited about the bus part of it? Yeah, because I love the movie Spice World. And that's how I imagine it will be. Yeah. For sure. I love it. Who will go with you? Anyone? Sometimes Atlanta, Johnston, our friend is going to come and do some improv with me. And my friend Matt, who lives in, in the back house, I, I just have to stop introducing him like that. Matt, my friend. He's going to come and do some improv with me. So it's like old, old friends, maybe Lisa will come for a couple of shows, but I'm awesome. I'm going to do the show, the stand-up show and then do a bit of improv with a friend every time. So that'll be good. Well, I love this, my friend. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. I guess I'll be podcasting from the bus. Probably. I don't know how I'm going to have to get a really good internet, Thomas. We're going to have to get that. Yeah, yeah, we'll discuss. We'll keep it going and keep a handsome on the road. Hell yeah, we will. So we get a question. Yes, please. Hi, handsome. This is Hannah Colling from Michigan. Question for you. My best friend and I have been sending each other custom license plates, people's family plates for about a year now and we send about two a day to each other. They're everywhere and people are crazy with what they put on their license plate. Sidebar is that I met this friend and I was in 10th grade. She was in 9th grade, failed 9th grade English and had to take it again. So we ended up in the same class and we've been friends for 15 years. And I think Tig, you maybe have a similar story. It's how you met one of your best friends. So sheers to me and screw ups, I guess. Hannah, what was your license plate be? I have some ideas for you all, but I want to hear what you think. Oh, we just mentioned that, yeah, that my license plate is currently a full sentence. Which I feel like you are into that. That's perfect for you. Yeah, I don't want to draw too much attention to myself on the roads because I'm not the most confident driver yet. So I wouldn't have like a really funny one. Would you would you ever have like? Yeah, I don't think that would ever do a personalized one. You would have peanut butter bitch. No peanut butter bitch is tempting. Yeah. So hopefully one of our listeners will figure that one out. It would be like PB, BTC, or something like that. Or what about Gams for Gams for Lyres? Gams for Babes. Yeah, something about my Gams. But if I had to pick one, I mean, I'm not going to, but if I had to have one, yeah, I would be like, something about the Golden Girls. Which by the way, May, you know, we were trying to decide, I know you and Jake had not seen the Golden Girls, but we were trying to decide who was who. And I had thought I would be sassy blanche who was the, you know, the slut. And people were like, no, your rose, your like silly goofy maze blanche. And I was like, you're actually right. May is blanche. Wow. Okay. Not a slat, but you're the one making the spicy moves. And I'm just like, you know, but holes and cooters, you know. But, you know, you can be whichever Golden Girl you want. This is your fantasy. You guys could be blanche. So my license plate would be something about like, you know, you know, keep it golden or, you know, because it'll play on, keep it handsome. Okay. That's good. Or maybe there, maybe just handsome for the license plate. Yeah. Handsome is good. And if the right way of spelling it's taken, SUM. Handsome. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. And I think it's a little cowboy type one, maybe, but I don't know. I think I, I don't know. I don't know if I could do it. Yeah. It would be like, just please don't honk. Yeah. Please. I want to hear a new driver. I want to hear what Hannah thinks we should get. Oh, I think there's a, should say, nude driver. Nude driver. That would be good. That would be good. That would be good strong. And for me, mine would probably be L.O.L. Oops. You know, it might be old. It might be zero. It might be Z in there. But something along those lines, I think that would be funny. That's good. And then for you all, TIG dumpster tits, DMD, TITZ, Fortune. Sorry, this for Biggie, dead eyes, D-E-D, E-I-E-Z. How dare you. And then you look cowboy, L-I-L, C-W-P-Y. OK, love y'all. Bye. That's good. Dead eyes, my boy's full of life. Your license-wiping dead eyes is pretty, that's pretty great. Biggie's not driving this car. Yeah, sure. People are just going to think. And also his eyes are gorgeous. Should we get another question? Let's do it. Thanks for that one, Hannah. I like that. Yeah, thanks, Hannah. Hey, Handsome's. This is Zoe from almost Canada, Northwest Washington. I'm inspired to reach out today listening to May's Journey with Driving. I, too, was a later in life driver who had a really big struggle with it. And I remember when I did my first test, I was in my mid-20s. And when I failed miserably, the instructor handed me my paper and was like, go bring this to your parents. And I just went to the nearest bathroom and just like, balled my eyes out. So I really feel you there. And so my question today is, what is one thing that you really struggle with, even that other people seem to just get easily? And what is something that you get easily but other people struggle with? All right, let me walk. I have a good podcast. How do you end this? OK. Bye. Great question. Something you struggle with that other people find easy. I would say math, which by extension means money. Now, I still, buying this house, I would get a lump in my throat trying to understand everything, the mortgage, and the property taxes. I just shut off and sort of panic. I don't know. I don't bury my head in this end. And some people are just gifted with money and with math. And I just absolutely can't do it. And it makes me panic. What about you? Well, if it gives you any hope, I was terrible at math. And it was the, because I was a good student that made good grades just because I worked really hard. And math was a one subject that I just was constantly having to stay after school for and get help with the teacher. I really had a hard time with it. My brain just didn't wrap its head around it. And not that I still understand money completely, but it is something you can get better at in time. And just by practice of buying a house and certain bills or running your own business, you will learn things about it as you go. And having people in your life who are very good at it, kind of give you guidance, you'll learn as they do that stuff as well. OK, it can be learned. Yeah. But I hear you. It is a intimidating world. It is intimidating. Yeah. Yeah, it is. One thing I find easier that other people struggle with maybe is I think I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to doing a drawing or making a song or something. Because I think everybody's creative. But sometimes people are just afraid of not being good enough or not finishing it or not getting it right. And I think I'm pretty good at just laying down a shitty drawing and being like, that's what it is. You know what I mean? I don't get paralyzed by the blank page. So I think I'm good at just doing a creative thing. And even if it's not great. And that's half the battle. Do you find it easy to with songmaking as well? Yeah, because you just have to start with something. And then you would all it down. You make it better and better each time. Yeah. So I think I'm pretty good at just vomiting up like a rough draft of something creative. And then trusting that by the time it's done, it'll be good. Yeah. Yeah, what about you? What are you not good at that other people are good at? I mean, I would have said math as well. Math is a tougher one for me. Like you even just like, you know, fractions have to think about for a second or like percentages. You percentages, yeah. I'm always like, oh, but you're so you're good with money, though, you're not afraid of it. I am good with money just because I've seen a lot of people in my life make a lot of mistakes with it. So I think it comes from a place. So just trying to like not make those same mistakes. Yeah. Foreign languages don't come as easy to me. Like I lived in Spain for a year and you know, learned enough but anybody else that has spent that much time there, I think would have been come away better at speaking it than me. Right. Like I can still, you know, understand and stuff and say certain things, but I felt very limited in my skill set with languages. And some people just are so naturally gifted at those. Yeah. That like and like picking up super easy. I think I'm the same. It's hard to, it's hard. Yeah. I think the same brain that does math is a language is maybe two. That makes sense. Yeah. The only thing I think that's always come fairly easy for me is writing. It's not necessarily my favorite thing to do because it feels like homework. And I have to do it a lot. And I never thought as an adult, I would have to be like going to like coffee shops to do work. Right. As if you're like a student, like on a deadline. Yeah. But like writing scripts or writing stand up, writing, you know, TV shows, whatever it is. It is like homework. It is like having a paper due by whatever deadline you do know that feeling as well. Yeah. That sounds similar to like, it's about just doing it, right? Like it's similar to what I'm saying, but like that, you know, that thing, the only difference between a writer and a nonwriter is a writer, right? So it's like everybody is a creative person. It's just can you make yourself sit down and do it? And yeah, it sounds like you. It's just discipline. Yeah. Yeah. But like I've always been just naturally, like in ninth grade, we had to do like a, or not ninth grade, tenth grade. We had to do like a North Carolina, like writing prompt, where you don't know the thing and they're like, right about this. And then it's sent into the state and you're like graded on it. Yeah. Like I had not at that point had, we had not really had writing classes. I just wanted to see where you're starting. And I was like, one of a handful people like got like the highest score in the state. And it was like, what? Do you remember what the prompt was? I want to say it was like about the Iliad or something, like at that time in the English class that we were studying. That must've been so nice and encouraging at that age to be like, whoa. Well, it was just like secret gift that I didn't even know was like a thing. It was like, oh, I can, I guess I can write. So I've just always been able to figure out writing. That's right. One day I'd like to maybe, I have just get so busy that the idea of adding more to my play is like, ugh. But everyone's like, when are you writing a book? And I would like to delve into that one day, but again, it feels like homework. Yeah. So it's not something I've been antsy to undertake, but it would feel like such an accomplishment to do it. So maybe one of these days. Yeah, I feel the same. Well, I wrote a book about sexuality. It was 14s. So it was easier to write, because you had to write it at a level that like, 11 year olds could get into. But I would like to write a book one day too. So you'd write like an autobiography or like a fiction. Yeah, it feels like I need more life and more stories under my belt. Yeah. And also the hard thing is when you're a standup, your whole, my whole standup act is an autobiography. So I'm giving that to you every special I put out. Yeah. So then when it comes to like writing a book, you're like, well, I've told a lot of these stories or like, if I'm writing it for a book, that story would probably be good for a standup if you're redundant. And there's something about putting stuff in writing that I worry about the people and the stories and the people in my life. And there's a lot of stories I'd love to tell that I feel like out of respect. I can't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm maybe down the road if that makes sense. That would be a good thing to do. Well, why don't I ghost write your autobiography and you ghost write mine? And we just see what we come up with. And you're not allowed to ask me any further questions. It's just based on what you're in the... Oh, no. Well, you can fill in the blanks with just fiction. Well, you're gonna know that I'm gonna have a lot of follow questions to certain things that you're known for being good at. I'm gonna write your autobiography for sure. It's called Cuders. Cuders and Hooters. Cuders and haters. Well, that was a lovely, lovely time spent with you. Sure was. Well, I've got to answer some questions. It's always fun to hear from people. So if you have any questions for us or any advice, where is that as well? Yeah. You can submit your questions. And request for advice to speakpipe.com slash HansonPod. Yeah, you can.
