This is a Head Gum Podcast. Checking all state first could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking the layout of each hole when you're playing mini golf, that'll cost you. You confidently potted your ball through the clown's mouth and it went straight into the water hazard. Ouch! Yeah, check-in 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 vary subject to terms, conditions, and availability. All state and 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 stay on Airbnb. That sounds like a plan, Mae. 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. I take spring cleaning seriously. This season is a chance to focus on new projects and personal growth. Homoglow fits right in with my springtime goals because a clean home makes a massive difference in my quality of life.

I'm here with my co-hosts, May Martin, and Fortune Feimster on the handsome pod. You know it. You love it. You know it. I love it. You do. And maybe you don't know it and you don't know if you love it yet, but welcome because you're about to know it and you're about to love it. That's right. Yeah. So welcome. So welcome. Welcome. Don't you think that when babies are born, there should be a song that we all sing to them? All the doctors go, welcome. You're here. What makes this happy birthday count? When you said like... Oh yeah. Do you sing that to a mother's crotch? To a mother's crotch. That's the babies being born. Happy birthday. I'm going to sing there. I'm going to sing there. There should be like a welcome song instead of it, you know, all the bright lights in the screen. Well, let's hear it. Two, three, and four. You just arrived. Thank you, Scott. You're going to learn. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's hard. It's hard. But now you are here. And now you're queer. Something that's just like a nice way in. Yeah, yeah. And memorable. Yeah, like that one. Like on your first day on planet Earth, you're going to always remember them. You should have the whole, we are the world crew singing to you as you arrive on planet Earth. Yeah. Bob Dylan just furious to be there. I'm mumbling. How are you guys? Good. I just wrapped Star Trek. Oh my God, congrats. Oh, you did? Yeah. All right. Did you have a wrap party? They're having a wrap party. I flew home because I have a few days off before I go back on tour and I'm catching up on, you know, sporting events that my kids are doing and all sorts of fun things. Stephanie and I are going for a very belated Valentine's Day dinner. Oh my. Tonight? Tonight. Tonight we're going. Oh, sexy. Yeah. Do you think you might have a few sips of her wine? No. Isn't that, you don't always, she orders wine and then you're like, I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. And then I just take a couple of sips. But no, neither of us have been sip and hooch and it's been a. Sip and hooch. I'm going to take, I'm not going to drink while I'm on tour, I think. Oh, really? I don't really, I don't drink a lot anyway, but. How was your party last night? Well, I am hungover today. Yeah. I am and I've got a turmeric latte, a black Americano and a ginger tea all going at once. Did you go hard last night? You know, not really. I just, I was hosting. Hard enough. And I started at 4 p.m. I invited everyone over, which was a must. I thought, great, then it'll be done by nine. But of course people stay. Well, we had, we talked about that in one episode, having it in time. Yeah. I should have put it in time. I should have put it in time. What time did it end? One or something. Okay. That is a long, that's a long hang. It's a long hang. And when you get hungover, what are your symptoms? I feel like I'm in a kind of swampy soup and it depends. If I'm really hungover, then I wake up and I think, oh my God, why didn't I realize the world's ending and everyone hates me? But right now I feel okay. That's your hangover. I get, I get anxiety. Do you get hang? Hang anxiety? Yeah. Hang anxiety. I've never heard of that. It's just the effects of alcohol. You wake up and think, what did I say? Was that weird? Was, you know. So you don't have a memory of what happened last night? No, I do. I don't have anxiety today. Oh, yeah. I feel like it's manageable. I just feel like I'm, I feel like I'm getting older, you know. Yeah, you can't throw down like you used to. No, like I could go back to bed. Did you have any bed visitors? You know what? I did not actually. And there was a moment where it could have gone either way for the night. For a tell us girl. For many girls. Let me tell you, I thought to myself, it's either going to become a games night with the remaining people. Right. Or it's going to veer into. Sexy visitors, bed visitor territory. Oh, wow. How do you and what what do you think sets it in one direction or the other? Good question for you. Yeah, yeah. I think it's a choice. I was like, I know I was like, I want to play games. Oh, you get to make this. It's either we're either having game night or gay night, which. Yeah. So you got all of these broads pawn at you. No, not at all. And you're like, you know what? You know, let's take out the monopoly board and. No, it's more like my my buddies are around mixed in with everyone. And yeah, if it was going to become a sexy evening, then I don't really want my close old pals hanging around. And then last night, I thought really, I want to be playing mafia with everyone. Do you ever play part cheesy? Never. What's that? I don't know. It just came to my head. Part cheesy. I don't. I've heard of it, but I don't know how it goes. I was on a flight. That's why I couldn't go to your party. I was on I was flying into Los Angeles after wrapping Star Trek, you know, and Toronto. Uh huh. Well, that's where we film. Yes, I know. What a useless comment. I flew from Beijing. We've we've filmed the last few days of Star Trek in Beijing. Yeah. So you were already you had tied a few on by the time I was landing. Tied a few on is drinking. Yeah. Yeah, I had tied a few on and I was playing a lot of foosball. But I threw out my neck playing foosball, which is so embarrassing. What a night. Meanwhile, I was just having my little tofu meal as I'm pulling into Los Angeles. Do you think pulling your neck also contributed to doing game night versus gay night? I think it's it made me feel very fragile. I actually threw it out a couple of days ago playing foosball. Yeah, and an orgy would not help. Yeah. I mean, the doctor is not going to prescribe that. Yeah, you know what? Your neck. I couldn't go to your party because I went to the LAFC soccer opening opening match. Is that the buddy will Farrell? Oh, my God. Tell me how it was so fun. It was their season opener. So they did it at USC. It was like seventy five thousand people were there. Oh, my God. And it was it was great. Is that a larger number than it normally is? Or normally it's at their regular state, which is I think more like twenty five thousand. Oh, this was like a big like thing to kick it off the season. That's so fun. And I remember when we were on set and we were playing robbers with these like stockings over our faces, squishing our faces. And you were saying the will kind of jokingly like, why? Why don't you ever let me sit with you at soccer games and invite me to these games? And he was like, I'll let you, but you have to wear that stocking on your face. The whole thing. Did you so did you? Did you know he has actually invited me to quite a few games now, and that was the first one I was able to go with him to. He's invited me to Lakers and Kings. And I love sporting events. So I told him, you know, please keep asking me because I love it. And he's a huge sports person. So yeah, I was glad we got to do that to finally get to do that. That's really fun. Yeah. But I yeah. Otherwise I would have been at your party and who knows if it could have gone the other direction if you'd been there. We wouldn't. No, no, I would have. Fortune Marie. I could. I told you I can't do that. This is a light soft body. This is not a orgy body. Whether it's lights off or on, you'd be willing to hook up with the little cowboy. No, I can't hook up with a little cowboy. We're like family. We'd be like bros fist bumping in the middle of it. We'd be like checking in with each other. You having fun, but yeah, great. I could never do any of that. I'm too square. Did you say but or bub like a like a. But yeah, hey, bub, hey, bub, hey, bub, hey, bub, bub, bub. No, it was a very nerdy fun party. It was like games. So yeah, it was really good. I'm going away. I'm not going to see everyone for so long. So yeah, I'm getting anxious about it. About the tour. My way. All my bags are packed. I always think about you. Singing in the breezeway at college. Yeah. So kiss me and smile for me. Tell me that you wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go. I mean, because I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm going to be back again. I mean, who would want to hear that in a breezeway? You know what I would do with you at a party fortune if you were up for it. And but I did last night and it was my favorite part of the party was Lisa Gilroy always I become like a 12 year old and we're like 12 year old siblings kind of that's the vibe and halfway through the party. We were talking about Hanson and she was like, oh my God, can we go into your office and close the door and you play Hanson and Bob and we harmonize in our best voices. And we weren't even laughing. We went into my office and we sang Hanson with like beautiful harmonies. And it was like we had to get a party. Yeah. And it was just a moment of like. Mbappada. We weren't even laughing. We're like, thanks for that. Yeah. Bye. Are you going to release it on Spotify? Oh, I'd love to. Guys, do you know what I just realized is today is St. Pati's Day. Oh, sure. You know I'm on St. Pati's Day. Yes, it is St. Pati's Day. And also I'm also I'm just remembering because today is Tuesday. Two days ago was the Oscars. Oh my God. Oh my God. So people are going to be tuning in. Well, we are typing this right before so we don't know yet. That's what I'm bringing up. As of this reporting, we don't know yet what's happened. That's such a funny vibe. It's like I just left the Oscars. Yeah. My future's out. And I don't know if I have won or lost. The reason I remembered is because I just saw my Oscar certificate. Oh yeah. Oh, so you got a certificate. Oh, you got a frame. Because you went to like the lunch. You get that at the luncheon. Yeah. How do you know all this? I'm a journalist. Right. Wow. Look at that. You know that Harvard scientists are saying that the past, the present and the future are happening at the same time and that things that you do in the present can affect both your past and the future. So that means that if we now act like you won, it could affect the future. Congratulations. We won. We won. You did it. You won too, May. Oh yeah, we won. Yeah. No, you did. I can't believe we won because we were up against the Perfect Neighbor, which is one of the biggest documentaries with the most streaming views of all time. Oh really? Yes. That's our competition. The Perfect Neighbor became one of the biggest documentaries of all time. I do have a question about the producer stuff. There was four names on there, right? Mm-hmm. And how has it decided what four names? Because there was a list of producers longer than that in the movie, no? No, there's a list of executive producers. Oh. And it's interesting because in TV, film and documentary, there's different titles that mean different things. And the reason these four names are the producers, Ryan White directed the movie. He's also a producer. Got it. His producing partner, Jess Hargrave, she is the lead producer on all of his projects. Yes. And Steph Willen, who is the old friend of mine and Andrea's, it was her original idea. She brought it up to me on our call. Okay. And I brought the project to Jess and Ryan. Got it. So that makes us the four core producers. And they also have to be very, very scaled down. Like you have to prove to the Academy. Oh really? Why each producer is necessary. And so they just want to make sure that it is bare bones. These are the producers. You can't have like 10 people on stage and just throw titles at them so everybody gets a producer credit. You have to like submit why you were crucial and key to the development of this. So you write like a thing saying this is what I did. Yeah. You have to cite so much. And a lot of times they reject it and they need more information. That's so insane. I get it though. Oh for sure. But like as far as executive producer, those are the people that kicked down cash and did other things that were very crucial to the project, but they couldn't be listed as an actual producer. Jess Hargrave. I just want to say I had a roommate called Jess and we lived on Hargrave. Oh my gosh. That's why we won the Oscar. Oh my gosh. I cannot believe. Where am I going to put it? Checking Allstate First could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking what you're unplugging when you're finding a spot on the extension cord for your phone charger. Uh oh. My phone's now charged but my laptop's at 0%. Yeah. Checking First is smart. So check Allstate First for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate.

You know how the, who said the Grammys or the Emmys has a podcast category now? I think the Grammys best podcast. Oh, really? No, the Golden Globes. Golden Globes, yeah, which is wild. But do you think the Oscars ever would? No. But I think the Grammys should. The Grammys. It's like they do audio books. Yeah, I can see the Grammys for sure. That feels like a very odd decision that they haven't come around to considering how massive podcasting is because of our podcast. Well podcasting is now getting way more numbers than like all of these late night shows and morning shows. So the median has changed significantly. Oh yeah, you did Kimmel. Yeah, I did Kimmel. It was so fun and I felt like a big deal to me. I was really pumped. Yeah, it was my first like. It is, it's cool. Like I guess I've done Colbert, but he was so nice. He was really warm and yeah, I had a really fun time and the producers asked me if I, I don't know, I must have said in the pre-interview that I was practicing telepathy like mind reading cards, but I don't know how to do it. Like I never get it right. Oh yeah, I watched that clip. That was funny. You did? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they thought that it was going to be like a magic trick that I could do. But it was so great that it led to nothing. Nothing, nothing. Like I was jealous actually when I saw you do that. I was like, ah, Tig loves things that lead to nothing. Yeah, it was true. Yeah, yeah. I was truly like, yeah, that'd be so fun to do. Yeah, you know what? I guess it was the first time I've been like relaxed enough to kind of do a bit like or at least like try to be funny and not just be like, yes, thank you. And thank you for having me. Yes, I do. Yeah, I thought it was really funny. Yeah. Well done kid. Thanks. Yeah, well done you. But I always fuck up my outfit like right before I was going on, I thought I'm going to tuck this T-shirt right into these pants and then. Oh God, did you? You tucked it? The whole T-shirt and it was like riding up and kind of bunched up. It's just like why do I always in the last second I think, you know what? I know better than all these stylists and makeup people. I'm going to throw on some lip taint and tuck in my shirt. I always do that with my hair. I'll like a moment before I go on. I do like a quick thing and I'm like, oh no. I just lost control of my hair. Oh no. Yeah. Well, those seats are always weird in their turn weird. So it's always like an awkward clothes situation when you're on late night. I don't know why. Yeah. Yeah. And your ankles show and yeah. Specifically fortune ankles. Yeah. My ankles. That's one of the issues of late night. I always have a button up and a blazer usually. So then the button up always widens. You know when you sit down at widens and I'm always like, God damn it. God damn it. And then you just see a little belly. There's a little peak of the belly. That's what we're tuning in for. Yeah. You know who has a little belly right now? Who? A little fluff-a-doodle-doo. Has a belly? Yeah. A little pot belly. Her steroids are creating a little pot belly. It's one of those like cute and sad things where you're like, oh, that's because. That's from medication but we love it. She's doing okay. She's doing great. She's really responding to the steroids and then she'll start chemo soon which is also cute and sad. Yeah. But anyway. A little pot. There's nothing like a little fuzzy belly. Just a little pot belly. Yeah. How dare she show up with that thing? And how's Ginger? She's good. She's. Yeah. I wore a phone call today but she, yeah, she's doing. She has more energy now that she's not on chemo at the moment. She's on the immunotherapy. She's got a bit more pep in her step. Nice. That's good. Glad to hear it. Yeah. Fortune, what have you been up to? What are you doing? What's going on? I'm just working, filming this movie. We have just three weeks left. Well, as of this filming right now, we have three weeks left. When everyone hears this podcast, I will be wrapping it up. Yeah. But yeah, I went by super fast. And you're having a good time? I'm having a great time. It's been such a whirlwind. The days are long and I've never been in a movie where I'm in every scene. So it is like, it's almost hard to sit and take it all in because you're just constantly prepping a scene or in a scene. But the four girls doing it, we're all just very in it and we're having a good time. Great. Yeah. And then I will say, Eva Longoria is our director and she is impressive. I didn't know she was directing. Yeah. That's so cool. I don't know if you've ever known she's been directing TV and stuff for like 20 years. I've heard she is so prepared. She's so prepared. She's incredible. I would die to work with her on any project she's directing because you know, so much of acting is just sitting around and waiting. She is so prepared. We are rarely sitting more than 20 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes. She is so on it. She comes so, so prepared. We are never sitting wondering what's happening next. And she's just got a real eye for things. Say this, don't do that. She comes and fixes clothes, hair. She's very hands on. I don't like that. She knows exactly what she wants. She wants it to look like. That's awesome. I don't like that color. Let's move this. Yeah. I've been super impressed by her skills. That's great. That's kind of like Stephanie. She's so, she has got a thought, opinion and vision for every moment of everything. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, wow. You think she'll try to direct more? Well, yeah. We have projects in different stages of development. And yeah. But there's also ones where she's like, you know what? I could hand that off to someone or, you know. Right. She's really good. She's just confident. Just has that vision and talent. Yeah. Is there going to be a blooper reel? All I want is, I miss like after the credits, the bloopers playing. I know. I love a blooper reel. I love bloopers. I like seeing people laugh and giggle and mess up. Yeah. When it's real. Right. Yeah. When it's real. There's nothing worse than a fake blooper. Well, when people are like trying to get into a blooper reel or like. Yeah. That's for the bloopers. That's one for the bloopers. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a bleep. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if they will do that or not, but it would definitely be fun. It's a big crazy, like this movie is crazy. Really? I can't wait. The things are doing it. Lots of shenanigans. It's definitely rated R. Really? Yeah. I can't wait. I can't wait. When does it come out? I don't know. I don't know. Movies take a bit longer than the old TV stuff. But they don't have like a, oh, and we're hoping for it to go here. Is it for streaming? Yeah. It's a Netflix movie. Oh, okay. Yeah. Got it. So I would imagine next, sometime next year, if I could guess. I'm pumped. All I've been watching is the America's Next Top Model documentary. Oh, I watched that too. The documentary. The documentary. Wild. Yeah, it's good. It's crazy. I just can't believe that, like, we weren't at the time, like, I mean, I know people were like, this is pretty crazy, but at the times we're so different that we're like, yeah, that's cool that they're, I mean, and it was insane the challenges they were doing. Yeah. Yeah. Did you ever watch that show, too? I know you love modeling. I know you love a catwalk. I have never seen it, but I did have an idea years ago because Sarah Silverman used to watch it, I think, is where I would hear bits and pieces about it. And I was like, oh my gosh, I would love to do like a Funny or Die series where I'm in and I'm like walking the catwalk with board shorts on and like a tank top. And like, is that where they judge you? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but also I was going to say, when your movie comes out, girl, we got to have a watch party. We have to like, oh, that would be fun. And like one of that when people like an online watch party, you know, so, you know, because it all the handsome, oh, that would be cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have everybody watch it and be like girl, because it feels very primed for like girl watch party. I know I have been trying to get in period jokes. You've been trying to shoo horn in. You're like fortunate enough of wedging in the period jokes. We'll see. We'll see what makes it. Yeah, we want your, we want to watch it with you so we get the commentary throughout of like, oh, on this day, this happened. And yeah, well, I just like, I like, I mean, who knows how, you know, so much has to come together in the editing and everything for the, for the final thing. But you know, what we are shooting is just very wild and crazy. I like seeing female comedians do the things that you guys get to do. Yeah, yeah. So that's what I enjoy about this. So we'll see. What if they cut you out? The movie I don't think could exist if I was cut out. I'm a pretty pivotal, pivotal part of the movie. Yeah. It feels like probably you all need to be in it. All four of us, the movie could not exist. Have you been cut out of anything? I have. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah. Cut out of a couple things. Yeah. And I've been cut, I've been cut down pretty significantly to the point where like, I could have been an extra. Why did you leave me in at all? I think I would almost rather be cut out completely. Yeah, yeah. Then like show up in a scene and never appear again. And that was like, why, what were you doing there? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's sometimes there's just like too much going on to service your character. Or sometimes you do a terrible job. I gotta cut out of that movie. The happiest season movie. Remember that one? The Christian Stewart movie? You got cut out? I got cut out of that one. And I filmed a scene with Kristen and the other actress. I can't remember the name. And my character was insane. I rent them a car for them to drive home and they ended up cutting it because they were like, we just need to get to them going home. And I totally understood. But I was being like, I was a crazy like rental car salesperson who was, I kept making Kristen Stewart break the whole time. And then I watched the movie and I saw that the next scene was them and the car together. But basically just explaining the plot to each other. And I'm like, well, I could have done that in the rental car scene. Right. And it'd been goofier. You know what I mean? Yeah. That was so funny. I was cut out of a Kristen Stewart movie. No way. Yes. Yes. I was. I was. In the runaways, I played Joan Jett's. Oh, yes. Oh, that's it. Yeah. And I'm wearing heels and like a long skirt. Oh my God. And a wig. Oh my gosh. I should put the, I have a picture of me, Kristen and Joan Jett and I should, and I'm in a dress. You need to send us that, girl. And it's when I had boobs. Like I'm like full on top secret. Wow. Just big old titties. Tiggleditties. Wow. But, you know, I mean, I'm Kristen's ruthless. She's like, out you go. Get out of my movies. I think, I think she would have wanted to keep it in. She was laughing a lot. She was fun. Yeah. I need to get cast in somebody first so she can cut me out. You gotta get cut out of one of her movies. You're no one until you've been cut out of a Kristen Stewart. Put it on the list, Thomas. Yeah. You're not handsome until you've been cut out of a Kristen Stewart movie. What a funny connection there. We gotta get a question from her. I don't know why we got cut out of a movie. Yeah, we sent her a question.

Her mother used to be the script supervisor on Sarah Silverman. Oh, really? The Sarah Silverman program. And Kristen is on the Sarah Silverman program. No way. I did not realize that. Yeah. When she was obviously a wee one. But a wee child. Yes. A wee child. A wee child here. A script supervisor. Script supervisor is such a crucial role. Oh my gosh. You have to be so focused and you're just sitting there. I could never. No way. Yeah. And there was this woman, Susie, who was the script supervisor on the wayward. She's thriving. And we were like, I walked by and she was having a conversation with someone about dreams. Like, do you remember your dreams? And she, this was so out of keeping with her what I knew of Susie, which was just this very focused, quite sweet. And she goes, well, you know, most nights I dream about horrific violence. Where I'm, where I'm breaking people's bones. I'm pounding people into the dirt. I was like, whoa, wow. Anyway, just. That doesn't fit the name Susie. I'll be honest. That was my mother's name. Really? Yes. Well, her name was Matille just like mine was, but my mother went by Susie just like I go by Tig. Anyway. Um, makes no sense. Should we get to our question? Let's do it. Today's question asker is an actor and activist who starred in shows like One Tree Hill and Chicago PD. She's also known for her advocacy of environmental causes and women's rights, including as a founding member of the times up movement. She hosts the podcast work in progress. So Fia Bush is asking today's question. Hi. Hi. Well, hello, you handsome three. Sophia Bush here. I am very curious. If you could stop time for a day or I don't know a weekend, the whole world would just pause and you could continue, have a real break. What would you do? Would you go somewhere? Would you sleep? Like what would you do? What would you say with a spare weekend? I know what I'm doing. We know that may stop in time. I'm in the top three of us. Stop the world. I want to hang with my girls. I want to take you guys to Disney. To Disney. I don't know who asked that was early on. We had something about spending time together and they chose us. We had a freeze time. And we awkwardly stopped talking. That's what a superpower would be. I want to freeze time so we can hang out together. You guys were like, right. Cricket. Cricket. Cricket. We were just like, really? That's the super. Stop time and hang out with my podcast, Huss. Well, it's because I talk to you guys more than a lot of my other people in my life because we talk for hours on the pod. But I would like to have. We gigs. I want to have some new experiences with you guys. I want to see you in a different context like on Space Mountain. Like on Space Mountain or in Joshua Tree. Yeah. It's not mutual. That's not true. If you get freeze time for, she said a weekend? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's so boring to say sleeping, but I do fantasize about that feeling that you have when you're a teenager and for whatever reason, your parents are leaving you alone and you get to just knock it out of bed and just keep going for like 13 hours. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it sounds amazing to sleep, but I don't think I'd want to do that with my time. Did I tell you I got rid of my CPAP machine? Yeah. No. Yeah. You block out everything I say fortune. Yeah. I got rid of that. So sorry. No more videos. Well, I forgot why though. It wasn't, you didn't feel like it was doing anything. I felt like I was struggling it, struggling with it more than actually sleeping. Yeah. And so I've just been. But it's so sexy. I know it's really sexy, but I don't know. I've actually, I've been feeling good about my sleep. There's still a little bit more of a bridge to connect there, but I've been very, very good with it and I'm happy with my progress. So I think that creates less anxiety than putting that contraption on my head and face. Yeah. And then I also don't have Stephanie in the middle of the night tapping me and being like, I think your tube fell off of your face because then it's like. Oh yeah. I guess it's going to loud noise. Yeah. So you wouldn't choose sleep. No, I wouldn't choose sleep. I think that I naturally, which I'm not going to do and you can't really do in life, but I think when I start to feel overwhelmed by the world and politics and injustice and all of that kind of stuff, I start to imagine just living off the grid and just homesteader. Yeah. Yeah. Traddike. Like just a total traddike. Like growing food. Growing food and running through the pasture with the kids with no shoes on. But I also, which is something I actually would like to do with you both, which we've talked about. Run through the pasture with. No, no. But I'd love to have like with you two specifically, I want to use you as like my little experimental wellness weekend. Yes. You know. I am so in. Yeah. I just think that'd be so fun and interesting if we forced ourselves to do that like early rising and meditation and all organic vegan kind of food and talking about any sort of feelings that come up in the meditation and journaling. Yeah. Journaling, swimming, art, therapy, together, art, all of it. Listening to vinyl. Fortune change. I'm getting real. My eyes glazing over. Yes. I will do it for you too. I love structure. Yeah. Yeah. And what a fun pod that would follow. I just think it would be so funny if we forced ourselves to get up to watch the sunrise and meditated and like really had an unusual weekend together like that. I know and I'm like, would it take away from the magic if someone documented it? Because I would like to have a visual memory of us all on the dock at 5 a.m. watching the sunrise. Well, what we could do is we could do our first trial run of wellness weekend and then we could do one where we have somebody document our wellness weekend. I love structure. I love being told what to do. Like, and I can. Good to know. I can get quite bossy as well. I'm like with my parties and I'm forcing people to play games and stuff like so the idea of someone going, this is the schedule and we're sticking to it. Oh, I love that. So you throw parties and then you just ruin them. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. But you know what, people, a lot of people appreciate it. There's no awkward like that's what you've told yourself. Yeah. No, like I have a telepathy table that's set up. Okay. So if you just met someone and you you want an icebreaker, you go sit at telepathy table and you. Okay. Yeah. I'd have a wellness weekend or I'd go barefoot. It's kind of the same thing of just kind of disconnecting and not having any sort of knowledge of what's going on in the world. Yeah. My first girlfriend, actually when Bill Clinton was in office when he won the first time the presidency, she was like, I'm not reading the news. And she did this game where she wanted to see how long she could go without finding out who won the presidency that year. Oh, wow. That's funny. That's really funny. Yeah. She was like, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me who won. And yeah, I think it went on for a couple of weeks. Oh, wow. Well, that was before social media. A couple of weeks of writing. You know, yeah. For smartphones, yeah, you would just have to not read a newspaper and not talk to like a taxi driver or anything. Right. I fantasize about that too and about, yeah, yeah, just nature. I might go on a hike after this. Yeah. What about you, Fortune? I mean, it's funny when I think about freezing time, I think of the past, right? And I don't know if that's part of this equation, but I would, you know, if it were, since we can make it up to be anything we want. Yeah. I don't think Sophia's going to hunt us down and correct our answers. I would want to go back in time to when my grandmother was alive and have a weekend. And freeze time there. Yeah. Because I think freezing time for me just symbolizes like getting more time with somebody you don't get to have time with. Yeah. So that's why I went wellness weekend with you two. That's right. But I think I would want it when I was in high school before my grandmother got sick to just be able to like have a conversation with her. Knowing what I know now would be pretty cool. And just to kind of take her in a bit more in a way that was like paying attention to the details more. You know, you don't really think about when you're a teenager. Right. And what is the particular knowledge you have now that you think would make it all that much better? Well, I mean, I was, you know, she died when I was right after I turned 18. So I remember I appreciated her as much as you could for being a teenager. Yeah. I think, you know, I knew how special she was even then. And I like would pick her up and take her to like, you know, we would go to this Chinese restaurant we love. So I had a lot of quality time with her. So I don't have regrets in that way. I feel like I did as much as I could with her for being a silly teenager. But I think as an adult, you know, I can look back and think about her in a way that's like all the sacrifices she made for me and the unconditional love part that she don't really think about at that age. Yeah. The significance of that. And just I would have liked to like, I have bits and pieces of her in my memory of like her like, she was more of a straight lace lady, but like seeing bits of her humor. I would like to take that in a bit more. Yeah. Seeing her talk about trees and birds and flowers and those little things like that, too. I would like to be able to go back and remember like more instead of having like pieces of her memory, like having full conversations. Yeah. Yeah. And even to record some of it and then to like listen in a different way. Yeah. Yeah. I actually found a DVD that I was worried I had lost that I had taken a bunch of tapes back in the day and made into a DVD that were of her. No way. That I haven't watched in like probably 20 years. So I'd like to get a DVD player and watch that again. Yeah. And then if it were to freeze time now, I guess I'm in a similar situation of like, well, my mom's getting older and is sick. So maybe freezing time there where we, but we've had some really good quality experiences lately, especially that cruise I took her on. Yeah. I think that was a significant memory for the both of us as of recent times. Yeah. Where she mothered everyone on the ship. Yeah. She mothered all the gay guys. And we just, but you know, I was going through a really hard time in my life with my marriage falling apart and to like go to leave that situation and go to your mom for five days. The timing of that was pretty significant as well. Yeah. Cause even as an adult, you're like, oh, I still, you know, you still need your or want your mom. I feel like you guys really know each other as adults. Like you, you are very yourselves with each other and know each other. Yeah. For sure. That's a rare good thing. For sure. So yeah, I don't know. Some of that stuff. I'm scared that I'm in sleep. Oh, sleep. Yeah. And I'm scared that I'd be like, oh yeah, I'm going to freeze time so I can read all those books I've been planning on reading or catch up on sleep and then I'd freeze the time and then I wouldn't be able to do it. And I'd see that time slipping away. I'd be like, I can only freeze it for one weekend and I haven't read a single fucking book. I'm still. So you'd just pan it. You'd freeze time and just be in a full pan for the whole week. I can't do anything. I don't know. It's like a black, it's like a black mirror episode. Yeah. If you froze time for one thing, it would affect another thing. Yeah. I am glad I, I, when I was, yeah, in my early 20s, I wrote a letter to my grandma asking her about the Second World War. So weird. She was, she was like, what? Where did this come from? But she never spoke about it. But I just was like, I knew she was in London during the Blitz and I knew my grandfather was in the army and stuff. So I just was like, I want to know. And then she wrote me back this handwritten letter. This is your agent, grandmother? Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm glad I, I'm glad I asked. God. I think it hasn't come up much in my life. The Second World War? Is the Blitz. Oh, the Blitz. Yeah. It just rarely comes up. Really? Because I think about it all the time. Well, I don't doubt that, but I just, it just, it hasn't been a huge part of my life. Yeah. But you know what is, a picture of me and you may just flash through my, my electronic frame. Don't worry. Yeah. So we were talking to Eddie Izard. Oh my God. That was the first night we met. Stand up. That's the show. Yeah. That's kind of what accidentally caused this podcast was connecting with you and enjoying talking to you. And then I think I had run into Fortune in Vegas. And I just kind of was like, oh yeah, I like running into them chatting and it's pleasant. And anyway, that picture just ran right past me. Oh my God. That's so funny. Memories, like the corner of my mind. Well, should we see what Sophia has to say? Yeah, let's do it. Oh wait, can I just say? I got more where that came from. Can I say also that I love Sophia Bush and know her a little bit. I wish I could hang out with her more in the freeze time. But the one time that I went to her house and we were hanging out and then her partner Ashlyn Harris FaceTimed her and was just like, Hey, what are you up to? And they're like the tiny glimpse I got into their relationship dynamic and their vibes. I was like, that's the goal. It was just such a sweet, flirty, funny convo. And I was like, that's so beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. I did Sophia's podcast years ago. And I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know how, I didn't know she was politically active for as long as she has been. Yeah, neither. And I think because she's kind of thrust more into my site that I kind of assumed like, you know, maybe because she's now in a gay relationship, it's made her more political. But it's just fascinating to know how long she's been so political. And it's just, it's a really nice layer to getting to know her. Yeah. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's hear what she has to say. I'm realizing that for me, I have two different answers and they're based on place. I think if I were at home in Los Angeles, I would lay in my backyard and read a book that I've been desperate to read, but haven't cracked open yet. I think if I were home in New York and I had a weekend, I think I'd want to go walk around the city and just look at all the people, you know, frozen in time. I don't know if I'd really want to go into anything, but I think I'd want to walk around and then yeah, I'd probably read. I think really what this means is that I should take a break. I'm making my way through more of the books that I order. That's really interesting that she needs to freeze time to walk around. Well, maybe she gets recognized a bunch. Maybe she would. Yeah. I don't want to interact with anybody. She's like, I'm going to walk around. Everybody stay in your house, in your apartment. I'm going to take a walk around while you guys are frozen. Yeah. I forgot everyone else would be frozen like that. Well, yeah, it's like the simple things in life. It sounds like that's what we're all interested in. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. Yeah. None of us are like, oh, I would. Which we can do. I know we can do all of these things. We can walk around. We can read books. We can read books. We can go to nature. I can go see my mom. Yeah. You guys can come over for the weekend and meditate with me. Yeah. We don't have to do this alone anymore. Yeah. None of us were like, I'd walk into the bank and. What? Rob the bank. I don't know. Because everyone would be frozen. That's true. No, we all just kind of want to be alone. Well, Sophia might. She might. That'd be one of her stops on her walk. She'd walk right into the bank and take it all. I love the phrase crack open a book. Crack. We can almost smell the new book smell there. Yeah. I was going to launch into just a few little mentions of my tour if anybody cares. I'll be always doing dynasty typewriter and Largo in Los Angeles. And then I'll also be in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Portland, Maine. I'll be in Red Bank, New Jersey, Brooks, California, Albany, New York, Peakskill, New York, head on out to Peakskill, New York, June 5th. I go to tignotaro.com. Also let's hear it again for the big Oscar win. Come see me in the good way. It's so exciting to get this news and to be able to share it that we did. In fact. Yeah. A win, even though we did record this a month in advance. Anyway, I am tonight in Minneapolis. Tomorrow I'm in Madison, Wisconsin, then on the 19th in Milwaukee and Chicago and Detroit and Columbus and Cleveland, then Pittsburgh, then New York, then Philadelphia.
