Speaker 1 Handsome, chatting with friends on the handsome pod. Chatting with friends on the handsome pod.

Speaker 1 Cheers.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the handsome Pod. I'm Fortune Feemster.
I'm May. May Tico Taro.
Whoops. And who is that? And who's that?

Speaker 1 May. It's me, Tick.
It's me, May. Hey.
We were heard there's Fortune. We wanted that to happen exactly like it did.
It was scripted. Very much so.

Speaker 1 You guys.

Speaker 1 How's everyone doing?

Speaker 1 Well, we're distracted by your beautiful eyes reflected by your beautiful baby blue shirt. Thank you.
Look, when I wear blue, my eyes get bluer. Yeah.
They pop. Pop.

Speaker 1 Isn't that weird that you just wear a different color shirt and then your eyes look bluer? Are you guys mesmerized by my beauty? I can't see them.

Speaker 1 I can't see them. But I believe.

Speaker 1 Why can't you see?

Speaker 1 You know, I have to,

Speaker 1 I wish I had an answer to this.

Speaker 1 I told you about how I now have this droopy eye. I I have to go to the doctor, see what's going on with me.
Can you see how I have this droop?

Speaker 1 Well, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, and now I'm like, Yeah, you have a droopy eye.

Speaker 1 But are you doing it on purpose right now?

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 Why on earth

Speaker 1 are you doing this?

Speaker 1 It's, it's,

Speaker 1 yeah, that was also scripted. Before the show, I thought I'm going to have one of my eyes droop.

Speaker 1 No, if you go back and look at the podcast, you'll see that for the past few months, I have this slight droop in my right eye.

Speaker 1 And so

Speaker 1 Easter egg. Yes, an Easter egg, a droopy Easter egg.
She's like Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, I have to go see what's going on with my eyes. Why do I have a droopy eye? I love that you are like, oh, I'm going to go see about it in a couple of months.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I wonder if it's like the optic nerve or something. You know what? If you Google it, it's anywhere from aging to really scary things.
So

Speaker 1 we're going to check that out.

Speaker 1 And also, my eyesight, as I've mentioned in the past few months, has just gone.

Speaker 1 Time for a new prescription. I definitely think you should go to the eye doctor.

Speaker 1 I'm going. But the thing is, is like getting, there's a doctor at Cedars, which is where I go to all my appointments.
And the

Speaker 1 there no longer is there. And then somebody else is like trying to pick up all the slack.
And so it's like months away that you can get an appointment. Who cares?

Speaker 1 All I'm saying is, when I say I can't see,

Speaker 1 believe me.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I'm on it trying to get it figured out what's going on with my eyesight. Oh, good.
Just so you can see Fortune's baby blues. Yes.
And listen, those of you at home, if you have a YouTube, look at it.

Speaker 1 And ladies and even men that if Fortune's your type, especially

Speaker 1 or ladies, I mean, check out these eyes that I'm hearing are popping right now. Popping and locking.

Speaker 1 There's a lot to look at on YouTube right now because you got the droopy eye, you got the baby blues, you got my pile of garbage in the background.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you still haven't donated anything. There is so much going on, and yet nothing is going on.
Nothing. Yet, nothing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And wait, Fortune, you're in a hotel right now. I sure am.
Are you on tour? Are you filming something? Tell us about it.

Speaker 1 I'm on tour.

Speaker 1 Fortune, is it finally time for you to write a note and leave it behind a painting?

Speaker 1 Yes, it is. It's funny you should say that, May, because it is time.

Speaker 1 That painting right behind you.

Speaker 1 You just roll it up.

Speaker 1 Room number I'm in. I thought you could find it.

Speaker 1 How will I ever find out?

Speaker 1 Wait, I think I remember. It's usually written on the door.
I'm in Atlanta for my show.

Speaker 1 This is at the Fourth Hotel.

Speaker 1 It's called the Fourth Hotel? Uh-huh. Okay, I thought you changed hotels three times.

Speaker 1 And I guess I can.

Speaker 1 You guys are going to have to remind me after the pod.

Speaker 1 This room number is 1308.

Speaker 1 I mean, do you have a pen nearby? We could do it with you now. Working on it.
Somewhere over there. Are you gonna make me get up? Fortune can't get up.
Sorry. Okay.
Okay. We'll do it.

Speaker 1 There's a brown painting in here, a big square brown painting. All right.
What do you want me to put on there? Keep it handsome? Don't

Speaker 1 desecrate the painting itself. No, on a note.
I'm going to put it on a note and put it behind the painting. Yeah, roll it up.
Yeah, keep it handsome or keep it handsome. Let's

Speaker 1 knock, knock joke. And if someone finds this,

Speaker 1 they get a key. Let us know.
They get a key and the key will only open one.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, it's a key chain. It's not

Speaker 1 actually

Speaker 1 and I'm going to

Speaker 1 fly to their house and deliver it. Whoa, that's wow.

Speaker 1 By plane or by.

Speaker 1 Why would you do that? No, I think that's what I said last time.

Speaker 1 But I will say, like, I know right now you're like, no, I don't know if I'm going to do this, but the satisfaction you will feel when someone at your show hands you the note that you wrote months prior and left in a hotel.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to see if someone does this. It was

Speaker 1 thrilling.

Speaker 1 1308 behind the brown painting. In Atlanta.
In Atlanta.

Speaker 1 Hotlanta, I think is what we call it. Oh, yeah, that's good.
That's good. And the people that live here hate when you say that.

Speaker 1 Because it's not even a very good pun. Hotlanta? That's what they call it? I mean, well, it's, you know, for different reasons.
The people are good looking, and it's hot as balls here in the summer.

Speaker 1 Fortune Marie,

Speaker 1 Fortune Marie. Like, do you know anything about the temperature of that body part? I would imagine two round things stuck underneath another thing get hot.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 did you go to medical school?

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 for one day online. Speaking of hot, I had a really kind of eccentric thing happen.
You know, I have my friend Matt and his girlfriend Leslie living in my back house. Right? Yes.
Are they not anymore?

Speaker 1 No, they still are. Okay.
And the other day I was on the phone and I kind of was pacing around and I look outside and I see

Speaker 1 Leslie is lying,

Speaker 1 her body's just on the concrete

Speaker 1 kind of. And she's lying there very still.
And I thought maybe she's looking for something. And so I, I don't know, I kind of was in the distracted.

Speaker 1 so I kept I kept going about my day then later on I go were you lying on the concrete and she goes yeah I was having a nap and she had put her head inside of this cat house that she bought for the stray cat that we feed oh and so this classic May friend yeah I can't really explain how how strange this was it was like this it's like this padded little cat house that's sitting on the concrete and she's lying with her body on the concrete and her head inside this basically microwave in the hot sun.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. And she's like, it was so cozy.
And comfortable. Really? Yeah.
I would imagine the concrete would have not been comfortable. Yeah.
What is she used to? She can sleep anywhere. Setup is like

Speaker 1 some

Speaker 1 rest.

Speaker 1 Yeah. She's very funny and she can sleep anywhere and it's a real skill.
Like I had a dinner party and

Speaker 1 in between like courses, she goes over to the sofa, catches 10 minutes of deep sleep, comes back to the dinner party.

Speaker 1 Now, when you have a dinner party, do you cook hot dogs?

Speaker 1 What I think I ordered. Tell us how to order.
Oh, you ordered food? I ordered sushi, let's be honest. Oh, there you go.
That's a nice dinner party food. Oh, but I would love to see you make sushi.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. What would it be? Fish sticks that are microwaved.

Speaker 1 Make the getting the rice a certain way would be the toughest part. Yeah.
What about rolling? Well, I guess there's that wooden roll thing that you

Speaker 1 everything's fine.

Speaker 1 Maybe we should have a cooking show. Yeah.
Clearly, we are all very skilled in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 So, wait, we were saying about Atlanta being hot, and you're going to leave this note and someone's going to get it. People in Atlanta are hot.
People in Atlanta are hot. Atlanta.

Speaker 1 And if you're listening and you're, you know, you're a fan of the pod, you live in Atlanta or nearby, go for a little staycation with your significant other and book that room. Yeah.
And then just

Speaker 1 get that note. Oh, my gosh.
The hotel is going to be bombarded with phone calls wanting this specific room. And they'll be like, no, or no one will.

Speaker 1 Of course they will.

Speaker 1 Fortune Feemster stayed in that room. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Well, if no one does, like, I'm going to Atlanta on tour in March or something. So maybe I'll...
i'll go come i'll go may i'm sorry we don't promote shows until the end of the epic

Speaker 1 i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i slipped that in there this is awkward

Speaker 1 yeah i have a book coming out in like three years

Speaker 1 that is not true

Speaker 1 how is filming going fortune are you having fun I'm having a blast. The last time we checked in was day one.

Speaker 1 So you guys were like, just give it a minute. It's still delightful.
Oh, good. So I'm a couple weeks in.

Speaker 1 Most of my scenes, well, like 95% of my scenes so far have just been me and Will Farrell. That's incredible.
He's awesome. We're buds.

Speaker 1 And we just have very similar styles.

Speaker 1 So we get along quite well. And he has a team of ladies who take care of him, like hair, makeup, wardrobe, or like his people that do all his movies.
Sure. And they're amazing and so kind.

Speaker 1 And so we all just sit around and chat in between scenes. Girl talk.
Girl. Girl.
And Will is the type who would go, girl. Of course.

Speaker 1 And so, yeah, we just giggle a lot together. And then in the scenes,

Speaker 1 it's so fun to make each other laugh.

Speaker 1 I mean, I have to pinch myself sometimes when I make him laugh. So that's happened? Like, you've practiced that.
You've practiced just like the dream.

Speaker 1 That's the dream.

Speaker 1 And we've just established a nice rapport where we'll kind of like mention

Speaker 1 jokes to each other for the scene.

Speaker 1 And that's cool. Is it improv or is it a matter of material? We do it as written and then improvise on the last couple takes.

Speaker 1 Or we'll like add, you know, the scene's supposed to be like 30 seconds and we'll draw it out to like five minutes.

Speaker 1 Now, when are we getting a Will Farrell question? Because he's pretty easy and approachable for that kind of thing. I know.
I mentioned to him

Speaker 1 a while ago, but I got to follow up on it. I'll get, I'll have him do it at some point.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 he will.

Speaker 1 He said he would. I just haven't brought it up.
I was going to give it a minute. Yeah.
He's bringing it up every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Just bring your relationship closer and closer.
That's right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because some of the people on set listen to the pod. So

Speaker 1 to get them to say in his presence, we'll talk about how much they love the pod. That's right.
I know

Speaker 1 it's always such a fun treat when you meet people in different capacities and they're like, and I love the handsome. You're like, oh, my God, that's so cool.
It's the biggest.

Speaker 1 I told you Jen Aniston's chef is

Speaker 1 a big handsome. You did, and we said we wanted to get invited to dinner.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, she's not the one that hands out the invites,

Speaker 1 she just cooks the food. God dang it.

Speaker 1 That reminds me, I just got a video from Chelsea Handler last night in her bra,

Speaker 1 but it was meant for somebody else. No.

Speaker 1 What do you wait?

Speaker 1 But to be fair, Chelsea would send me this anyway. Of course.

Speaker 1 Of course she's a child. I'm going to check your back.

Speaker 1 I think this was for someone else, but thank you. Wait, she said,

Speaker 1 it wasn't a sexual thing. It was her her friend saying, oh, it was like she was answering someone's question.
It was not like a hey, baby. It was like, she just is always.

Speaker 1 Put it on social media.

Speaker 1 On handsome, on the handsome social media.

Speaker 1 Has she asked a question yet? We got a. Yeah, she did, but it was pre-video.
Or no, it was just audio, I think. Yeah, maybe we need a new video question.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 We revisit with Chelsea and her bra. Yeah, yeah.
That's right.

Speaker 1 She is not shy when it comes to her her titties. Well, I saw.
I would say she's not shy in any department. I mean,

Speaker 1 I'm saying, I think this was for someone else specifically named Kevin. LOL.
Thanks for showing me your

Speaker 1 boobs. I'm having a bit of a situation where I had, and I'm like, do I, should I talk about it or is it going to fuel it? But I was.

Speaker 1 This is back when I was in Portugal with my family. My phone rings and it's a Toronto number that I don't recognize.
So I pick up. I'm like, hello? And I hear, hey.

Speaker 1 And I go, hi, who's this? It's Jennifer. And I go, oh, hi, sorry, Jennifer, who? And she goes, oh, my God, is this Mae Martin?

Speaker 1 I have your number saved as the wrong name in my phone, but how are you?

Speaker 1 And I said, oh, sorry, I don't know who this is. I'm in Portugal with my family.
I can't really talk. But also, I'm like, is this a friend of mine?

Speaker 1 Or maybe someone like a crew member on Wayward who Ise number I have. I'm being nice.
Was it, Mae? Well, then, is it was Jennifer Instant?

Speaker 1 So then she's like, anyway, she starts chatting away. And I go, I really got to go.
So I get off the phone. And then like three days ago, I'm in the gym.
My phone rings, unknown Toronto number.

Speaker 1 And I had forgotten about this interaction.

Speaker 1 Well, it's this woman, Jennifer. So I pick up, I go, hello.
She goes, hi.

Speaker 1 I go, who is this? She goes, oh my God, I've done it again. I must have saved you.
Oh, my God. And I said, okay, I've been thinking about this.

Speaker 1 Can you tell me how do we know each other? And she goes, from Toronto. Oh, that's very vague.
I know. And I said, okay, I'm in the gym.
I got to go. So I hang up.
Then she texts me.

Speaker 1 She goes, sorry about that.

Speaker 1 But we should make time to, she goes, we should make time to catch up soon. I was about to say, this is some person sounds like they want to talk to you.
So then I'm not on earth. I know.

Speaker 1 So, like, you're saying they're faking that they're accidentally. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I don't think I know this person. Jennifer from Toronto.

Speaker 1 So I'm on to you. Someone's wanting to talk to May.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I said again, I go, hey, how do we know each other? And she says, from Toronto. And I said, you have to narrow it down.
That means they don't know you. And her number isn't in your phone.

Speaker 1 No, it's not. No, it's this person got your number from someone.
Yes. We are detectives and we have solved the case, but go on.
Because then I said, you're going to have to narrow it down.

Speaker 1 And she goes, lol,

Speaker 1 lol meaning l-ol-l. L-O-L.
Yeah. And she says, I saw you at Sweaty Betty's, which is a bar in Toronto.
And then she says, and I think we matched on Raya on a dating. See, yep.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I did not, I don't, I've looked on my Raya. I don't have a memory.
Anyway, I'm just, I'm like, should I block it? Or

Speaker 1 yes, the answer is yes. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 For sure. I'm not really buying that she keeps accidentally calling me.
Yeah, that's weird. And this is all recent? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, it first happened when I was in like July, and then it happened again recently. And

Speaker 1 I like a story, so I'm kind of tempted to

Speaker 1 keep it going? Yeah, just so I can get her to admit that we don't know each other. Well, you know, she listens to the podcast, so she's going to hear this.
Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 Well, look, Jennifer, I'm not mad. I'm just

Speaker 1 like Toronto. How'd you get my number?

Speaker 1 And why are you not telling the truth? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But I'm not mad.
I just want some clarity on the mystery. I'm not true or no, May could be interested.

Speaker 1 But we need him.

Speaker 1 I like to be the pursuer. You know, I like to see.
We need more information from you. Have you seen a picture of Jennifer? No.
Don't know. I could say, can you send a picture to see if I...

Speaker 1 No, then I'm engaging.

Speaker 1 You've already engaged, by the way.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, you could have saved.

Speaker 1 Her number so that you knew it was coming. Yeah, well, now I will.
I'll say, Jennifer, who? And And I'll say

Speaker 1 from Toronto. It'll, and we'll go around

Speaker 1 the town again.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. I like a mystery, though.
But did she say that y'all did meet at Sweaty Betty's? She said that, but I know she said she saw you at Small Betty.

Speaker 1 Yeah, y'all don't know each other. She might be like a peripheral member of that friend group or something.
I don't, I don't know, but yeah,

Speaker 1 it could be the start of a horror movie for sure. Years ago, I got a call from somebody so chill, like, hey, Tig, what's up? I was like,

Speaker 1 who is this? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was like an office worker at a club that I had done years ago. And they were like, oh, I'm just rolling through the Rolodex.
And I just, I like your comedy. Thought I'd say hi.

Speaker 1 I was here.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 What? No, no, no, no, no. Like,

Speaker 1 I don't want to have an awkward conversation with somebody that

Speaker 1 I couldn't pick out of a crowd. Yeah.
You know? That is strange. Yeah.
And inappropriate. I will say,

Speaker 1 since Wayward came out, I am having a lot of people who I barely know reach out and say that they want to, like, we should write a script together. And often

Speaker 1 come.

Speaker 1 Well, you're the number one star in the world right now, so you're going to get a lot of attention. You know, people want to, people want to get

Speaker 1 a cold dead ass. Yeah, they want a piece of that number one star in the world, May.
Take it in.

Speaker 1 Can I say the one cool thing is I found out yesterday that the show is number one in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Doha, or sorry, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon. And it just boggles my mind because

Speaker 1 you would think from the narrative in the world that pretty much the majority of people are like freaked out by trans people. And actually,

Speaker 1 the majority of them are watching this story and engaged in it, you know? Well, I'm sure they're fascinated

Speaker 1 with how open and comfortable you are and you're living

Speaker 1 a life and portraying a life that is so far from what they know and can

Speaker 1 even ever know.

Speaker 1 And so, and you're just like

Speaker 1 unabashedly

Speaker 1 doing this. Maybe they think I'm a boy in it, and they don't, and they don't know because it's a character.
You are a boy in it, right? Well, I'm a trans boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So maybe they're like, and they love a thriller. And they love a thriller.
I think it's a good way to

Speaker 1 sneak in. And they also think there's a chance they're going to see Tig and Fortune in there.
That's right. And maybe you will.
Maybe you will. Just keep watching.

Speaker 1 And they're probably like, Fortune will pop up with an Australian accent. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Tony,

Speaker 1 don't worry. I'm going to do my Australian accent.
Don't anyone worry. Don't anyone.
Don't anyone worry.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 And maybe we'll see Tig wandering in the back eating an apple or something.

Speaker 1 During your press, have you asked Tony about my Australian accent? Any feedback there? I haven't, but I do love it. She thinks it's terrible.

Speaker 1 Well, she comments every time there's a clip of it on Instagram, she'll comment saying this is the worst accent I've ever heard. Tony, how dare you say that about me accent? It was weird and toned.

Speaker 1 Me accent.

Speaker 1 Tony, I can do an Australian accent easy. Talk about razor blades and Jennifer Lopez.

Speaker 1 Guys,

Speaker 1 what I love about this show is our lack of concern

Speaker 1 revisiting the same joke.

Speaker 1 I just got a message back from Chelsea. Oh my God, that is too funny.

Speaker 1 That's all she wrote. She'd just be showing her boobs out there.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I saw a thing of her skiing naked, right? Didn't she do that?

Speaker 1 She was topless. She ski's topless.

Speaker 1 That's really hilarious. And must be awesome.
As someone who has seen her naked breast on a number of occasions,

Speaker 1 many people have. Let Let me also preface it with that.

Speaker 1 Her boobs are great. Yeah, if you got them flaunted.
And they're naturals.

Speaker 1 Natural tig old bitties.

Speaker 1 I didn't trust it all.

Speaker 1 Fortune.

Speaker 1 Fortune talking to you. Take that back.

Speaker 1 Who could you have been talking to?

Speaker 1 May old bitties?

Speaker 1 Thomas old bitties?

Speaker 1 No, tig old bitties. I do appreciate a friend who has nice boobs and shares them with the world.
Totally. I think that is only

Speaker 1 fair that if you've been blessed with good naturals,

Speaker 1 you should share them with people. I mean, listen, I'll be honest.
I've seen a lot of nakedness of Sarah Silverman. Does she have nice boobs? Yeah, I've seen a lot of full frontal and stuff.

Speaker 1 She does talk about bush a lot. It's hilarious.

Speaker 1 Grandma's problem area. yeah yeah i've seen a lot of grandma's problem areas i feel like sarah's the the friend that i've caught the most glimpses of of um

Speaker 1 full frontal i recently went to the korean spa with my friend alana johnston and it was the first time we've been in the full in the nude together we've been friends for like 18 years or something yeah how was that it was hilarious she we were i couldn't stop laughing it was really i felt like a teenager we were i know I don't think I want to be naked around my friends.

Speaker 1 I know. I was going to say, is the giggly stuff like,

Speaker 1 did it tater on like flirty or like, we?

Speaker 1 Or I don't know what that wee was about.

Speaker 1 It's definitely not how I flirt. But,

Speaker 1 yeah, I would not be naked in front of,

Speaker 1 like, I didn't go full frontal in front of Sarah. Yeah.
Right, right, right. Yeah, it was more demure.
I think the, I mean, I think I was in a towel, actually.

Speaker 1 And She was fully naked.

Speaker 1 No, I think it's fucking like. Do you get shy about being naked in public or are you pretty free? Wait, didn't May

Speaker 1 go full ass? I thought

Speaker 1 in Wayward.

Speaker 1 I am shy.

Speaker 1 These days I love taking my shirt off, but

Speaker 1 I'd be shy to go full frontal. And also in the Korean spa because it's a women's spa that I want to continue to frequent.
So I often wear my towel

Speaker 1 up around my my chest like a pretty little lady, just because I don't want them to question me. But then in the safety of the steam room, me and Alana laugh.

Speaker 1 And I think it's just bizarre to be talking to your friend when you're both naked. So we really true.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And she's the funniest person on earth. She's silly.
She's very silly. I feel like a lot of straight women that I know

Speaker 1 don't mind being naked in front of each other. Right.
I don't know. They really love to just fucking let it all hang out.
Guys, Guys, I have a really great idea. What?

Speaker 1 I think the three of us should get together and go fully naked and hang out. Yes,

Speaker 1 you two are like so tiny.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Listen, listen.

Speaker 1 We are all three the most handsome. God's children.

Speaker 1 We are all God's children. God's favorite children.

Speaker 1 But my God,

Speaker 1 how that would make me giggle if the three of us were fully not?

Speaker 1 Yes, you are. We're going to head over to Fortune's now.
I need a good six months heads up so I can

Speaker 1 six months. I have an idea.
And

Speaker 1 this might make it less daunting, but it's

Speaker 1 we do one of these remote podcasts on Zoom. Naked?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're naked, so we're close up. So we're just seeing your shoulders, Fortune.
But we all know that we're fully naked underneath.

Speaker 1 And then But what if that camera slips and suddenly you see my pasties?

Speaker 1 Your pasty whats.

Speaker 1 Pasty body

Speaker 1 and my pasties on my nips.

Speaker 1 One of us doesn't have nips. I don't, this isn't something I'm trying to put on the list.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I am.

Speaker 1 I really want this on the list. Well, you never know.
We haven't gotten hardly anything on the list done anyway, so I guess there's no road. We haven't had a single thing.

Speaker 1 What do you mean, hardly any? There's not one thing

Speaker 1 on Santa's lap. Yeah, that is true.

Speaker 1 We got photos with Santa. We got photos with Santa.

Speaker 1 We did a couple things. Push-ups.

Speaker 1 Push-ups. Was that on? A bonnets?

Speaker 1 A bonnets? Push-ups and sat on Santa's lap.

Speaker 1 Like, those are things that we were like, we have to do that. Why isn't anybody offering us a show?

Speaker 1 I know. Or even a special, you know, on the Handsom's list.
Yeah. Road trip documentary.
I mean,

Speaker 1 we should be getting some list. This is a wildly popular podcast with a wildly long list of things that need to be done.
And we can't do them without a budget because we want to do them right.

Speaker 1 We can't do this for free. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I need to be able to have a meal as I'm doing it exactly exactly and now what's on the list the three of us naked oh my gosh should we go to our question yeah let's

Speaker 1 Today's question asker is an actor, comedian, and writer known for her roles in shows like The Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principles and movies like Knives Out.

Speaker 1 Edie Patterson is asking today's question. Woo-hoo!

Speaker 1 Hello, handsome pod. This is Edie Patterson.

Speaker 7 And yes, in case you're wondering, I'm laying on an orange storage bench.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 7 In my mom's bedroom.

Speaker 7 Anyway, I want to know,

Speaker 7 what's your favorite book that you've read the most recently? that you found to be the most vibey in whatever way? And you could have read this or listened to it in an audiobook.

Speaker 1 Hmm,

Speaker 1 vibey, yeah. Vibey is what what is that? Like, like uh, the things that you liked into, I think.

Speaker 1 Do you think when like Dostoevsky put out Crime and Punishment, people were like, This is vibey? Is this vibey? First off, the Bible is very vibey, very vibey. Um, did you guys watch Edie

Speaker 1 play

Speaker 1 Judy and the Righteous Gemstones? No, I never watched The Righteous Gemstones. May, oh my God.
May, do yourself a freaking favor. Okay.

Speaker 1 You start season one,

Speaker 1 The Righteous Gemstones on HBO Max is so

Speaker 1 funny. I haven't seen it, but my friend Kristen, I believe, from my childhood was over at my house and was going on

Speaker 1 this character.

Speaker 1 So, so Edie's character is definitely like the standout. It's a Danny McBride show.
So, you know, all the stuff that he does is very broad, very out there. She plays the, they're all

Speaker 1 the kid of a pastor, like one of those big southern pastors, like the mega church. And she's, her character, you talk about yelling Fortune Marie.

Speaker 1 If you were to listen to her character, you would be yelling. Fortune Marie.

Speaker 1 It is so wild, the stuff that comes out of her mouth. But near the end of the first season, she does this monologue at an Outback Steakhouse that is,

Speaker 1 I cried. And does she riff it?

Speaker 1 Edie's also in the writer's room. She's part of the writing staff.
So she helps write it, but then I think also riffs on the day.

Speaker 1 It is the funniest thing I have ever seen, I think, on a TV show. This monologue she goes into.
It is worse. Is this in a steakhouse? It's in an Outback steakhouse, and it's just too good.

Speaker 1 She's, I've known Edie for years through the Grellings, and this character, she just freaking nailed.

Speaker 1 I've heard, I think, a lot from her about her from Allison Dunbar. Yeah, they're friends, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
So, if anyone has not ever watched that show, it's, I think it just ended, but go to the first season, start from the beginning.

Speaker 1 And would you say, did you know about her that she's a voracious reader? I did not know that about her. She plays very crazy, insane characters.

Speaker 1 And I know that's her stage

Speaker 1 TV life, but in real life, she's a more chill person.

Speaker 1 So how do you know she's a voracious reader? Oh, I don't. I guess I just, because the question I thought.
You just assumed.

Speaker 1 These days, if anyone reads at all, I'm like, that's voracious because I know it takes a lot. It takes a day.

Speaker 1 Thomas reads a book a week, right, Thomas? And it shows because he's a grounded and informed individual who keeps us on track. Yes, he does.
But do y'all read or do you do audiobooks these days?

Speaker 1 I read.

Speaker 1 I can't.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've done some audiobooks where I think the person

Speaker 1 telling, like, like Miranda July, I love the way she does her own audiobooks. And, uh, but no, generally, I, I read, but not enough.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't read enough, but I try to have um

Speaker 1 some new,

Speaker 1 you know, something on my bedside table. So, do you have something for us? I have something on my bedside table.
I can go grab it.

Speaker 1 Sorry, I forgot to get it. One set of things.
We have to show our books to prove it, but we can look at the junk in May's room.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 that That is good.

Speaker 1 I see four guitars.

Speaker 1 Oh, here comes May. Oh, here comes May.
Everybody, here you go.

Speaker 1 Here comes me. Everyone, be cool.
Here comes May. Oh, hey, May.
Oh, hey. What's going on? What did I miss? I guess you'll have to listen to the podcast.

Speaker 1 You should subscribe,

Speaker 1 rate, and review.

Speaker 1 So, first of all,

Speaker 1 sitting on top of the book is this crystal grid that is supposed to channel

Speaker 1 intuition and things like that so okay brought that to show you guys oh nice we like that underneath the crystal grid it's

Speaker 1 whoa

Speaker 1 i dropped it um

Speaker 1 dropped their book the book of symbols so this is whoa that's a big hand it's a huge heavy book and it's like a dictionary of symbology used in art and myth and things like that and i thought if i keep it back to next to my bed with the crystals on top I'm gonna be having symbols in my dreams

Speaker 1 So like I'll I'll flip through you tell me when to stop and I'll see you

Speaker 1 stop

Speaker 1 Okay, it came up on human body

Speaker 1 Oh, we were just talking about that

Speaker 1 about human body? Yeah, about being naked together There's a picture here of Saturn devouring one of his sons, which by Francisco Goya, which is a very haunting picture.

Speaker 1 Well, that is not what I expected with the human body. I know, and that doesn't

Speaker 1 really represent seeing some puss.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 my gosh. Fortune.

Speaker 1 I don't know. As the podcast's gone on, I've gotten more scandalized.
I'm, I'm like, I cannot believe what I'm hearing these days. It's part of

Speaker 1 it's a natural thing. You're right.
And it's no. Yeah.
Why am I body positivity sex positive here?

Speaker 1 Are you? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Is that how you would define yourself these days? No. Body positivity.
Very sex positive. I'm demure.

Speaker 1 I just like to get you going.

Speaker 1 Like you got, like, there's like feather. That's, you know.
What's the feathers?

Speaker 1 So many of the qualities we associate with birds are distilled in the image of a single feather. Lightness, mobility, air, wingedness, balance, flight, and joy.

Speaker 1 There's so many moments of this podcast that I tune out, check back in. I'm like, what the hell are we talking about?

Speaker 1 How did we make sense?

Speaker 1 How did we get here? Nothing we talk about makes sense.

Speaker 1 I got it because my dreams are so like quote titty and they're all like having an argument with

Speaker 1 I swear to God, I'm not.

Speaker 1 I heard quote titties.

Speaker 1 Quotidian. That's really good.
I'm just going to sit this out. I'm just going to listen to the show.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to listen to the show. I think I got that right.
Quotidian is like day-to-day. It's so good to me.
Nobody knows or cares what it means.

Speaker 1 Good time.

Speaker 1 Anyway, that's quote the titty.

Speaker 1 So quota tidians.

Speaker 1 Well, that's a titty. So that's your recent book.
Yeah, I like to dip into it. it.

Speaker 1 But then how recent? How recent? Like, it's currently next to my bed, but if I'm being honest,

Speaker 1 things can be next to your bed and not be recent. I mean, look at the bat behind you.

Speaker 1 None of that. You know what I mean? That's been sitting there for months.
I think it's been by my bed for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 And the embarrassing thing is when I think about it, I'm not really reading it. I'm hoping that by putting the crystals on top of it, I'm just absorbing all the information.
That makes sense. Shoot.

Speaker 1 Scientific. Yeah, that checks out, right? Yeah.
Well, I

Speaker 1 am busy.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 reading has taken a back seat. I can tell you, I'm on my app right now.
So in Los Angeles,

Speaker 1 if you have a library card, which is very easy to sign up for. They have an app.

Speaker 1 When did you sign up for a library card? This is so crazy that you have a library card and you never read. Everyone should have a library card.
It's if you like any sort of book,

Speaker 1 this is a commercial. I'm a commercial for books.
I do like to read, and when I have time, I want to read, but I've been so busy that I can't.

Speaker 1 But there are so many books that you can check out on an app.

Speaker 1 I don't know if every city has this, but LA has it. It's called Libby.

Speaker 1 And you can

Speaker 1 borrow these books for like 30 days and read them on your

Speaker 1 devices. Oh, and can you get audiobooks? Yeah, audiobooks, too.
It's fantastic. Okay, so

Speaker 1 I am, I don't know, like I said, I don't know if every city has that, but I imagine a lot of them do. But just walk me through when you went and got your

Speaker 1 library card. I think I got the library card on the app.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 that ruins everything. I didn't go into the library.
Yeah, that's what I was wanting. I wanted to be walked through.

Speaker 1 Well, my mom goes to the library like all the time.

Speaker 1 Well, nobody doubts that. Of course, gingerbread.
I said, Rent's books. She rents books.

Speaker 1 I've heard Rent to read. She reads like a new book every week.
I don't know. She's a regular old Thomas.

Speaker 1 So I'll tell you what I intended to read. Yeah, what's on the list here?

Speaker 1 Viola Davis's Finding Me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd like to read it. I wanted to read that.
I started it, but then I did read Brandy Carlisle's book, Broken Horses. That was good.
I like biographies. I really like learning about people.

Speaker 1 I also have Just As I Am Cicely Tyson. I really wanted to read that.

Speaker 1 So, wait, we're just rattling off books that you can do. That you want to eventually get around to.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Oh, I was going to read Mating in Captivity. You told me to read that from

Speaker 1 Esther Carell.

Speaker 1 Haven't read that yet, though. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's one that is a great audiobook because it's. Oh, I did want to to read this, The Secret to Happiness, Jessica Redland.
Haven't read it yet, but it's on the list. Okay.
So no fiction so far.

Speaker 1 I feel like that's where we're all. I'm going to read real thing about real stuff.
But I think that's partly because we're all like, we have to be productive all the time.

Speaker 1 And so we think if I'm going to read, it has to be something that is going to, I'm going to learn and maybe I could use that information.

Speaker 1 But see, it's not calculated like that for me. I'm not like, okay, I have to learn.
It's just that it doesn't, that doesn't interest me. It's kind of like with TV and film.
I love documentaries.

Speaker 1 Right, right. You know, I'm not, I'm not like, oh, I can't be silly with my time here and watch

Speaker 1 whatever show.

Speaker 1 I just, I just remember being a teenager and reading a ton because I was reading stories that I was like, I got to know what happens.

Speaker 1 And so maybe it'd get me back into reading if I was reading more like, yeah. Yeah.
What else you got on that list? Yeah, keep going. I think that was it.
And that was a lot of books.

Speaker 1 That was a lot of books you haven't read. There's a lot of books I haven't read.

Speaker 1 Oh, I did read our friend Amanda Clute's

Speaker 1 Live Your Life. That one was really good.
Take, what about you? So, you read, I know you've recommended a lot of books to me that I've written down and intend to read.

Speaker 1 What are you reading writing most recently? I like biographies, autobiographies, and self-help. So, I guess it,

Speaker 1 you know, I do love a story, but I think in with books and

Speaker 1 film or whatever, I do like documentaries. But

Speaker 1 right now, as I've discussed, I'm

Speaker 1 neck deep in the, you know, work-life

Speaker 1 balance

Speaker 1 for the first time, even though for years in interviews, I talked about how I was finding that and like exercising my live work

Speaker 1 balance.

Speaker 1 You were aspirationally talking about it. Yeah, but it's weird when you, I realized that I was like so disconnected from my actual reality.
Yeah. And I was just talking like I was doing it.
This is

Speaker 1 kind of my, my thing with autobiographies of people because I know enough people who've written autobiographies where you read the book and it seems so neatly tied up. There's an arc.

Speaker 1 They reach a place of resolution. And I'm like, yeah, you're just saying that.
I see you.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
I think about that a lot, especially when I noticed it in myself that I wasn't connected to the reality of what I wanted and how I was living my life.

Speaker 1 So this book, Anxious Nation, I can't remember what the cover of the book said, but it like finding balance or something.

Speaker 1 But when I got into the book, it was much different than what I thought it was going to be. It was about kind of people's addiction with

Speaker 1 alcohol, food, sex, drugs, cell phones, social media, all of that kind of thing. And

Speaker 1 that was actually a really fun surprise was that I thought it was one thing and then it was,

Speaker 1 I mean, it all kind of ties together. Yeah, that like dopamine self-soothing behavior.
Yeah, finding the balance. And

Speaker 1 I know, like, there've been so many studies about how reading, like, like, holding a written book, like immediately your cortisol levels drop, your heart rate drops. Like, it is.
Oh, really?

Speaker 1 Yeah, because you're just holding a book? No, you got to read it too. Oh, you got to read.
I was like, oh, I got to pick up a book right now. Oh, my God.
Just snuggling. Always, everybody's like,

Speaker 1 Fortune is such an avid reader. Holding books to my chest,

Speaker 1 spooning them at night. It is, once you do get into a book and like make it a habit, it is really a nice thing that you look forward to.
Yeah. Yeah.
And like a little escape.

Speaker 1 I just always kind of forget that that's available to us. Same.

Speaker 1 Well, and even if you read for 15 minutes. I'm sorry.
Go ahead, May. What were you saying? I was just wondering about Max and Finn and if you read to them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and we do something that sounds very like

Speaker 1 whenever I say it, I feel like we sound like

Speaker 1 just a Christian American family.

Speaker 1 But we have a family reading time at night. And we just do 10 to 15 minutes.
And Max and Finn come into our room and everybody reads. for 10 to 15 minutes

Speaker 1 right before bedtime. And then you share about what you read.
And yeah. And so we each go around and share.
And it, you know, that started because their school encouraged that they, you know,

Speaker 1 develop a

Speaker 1 habit of reading regularly, even outside of school. And so I think I've talked about it before, but it's really a part of the day I look forward to.
And it is, it's so quick and it's so cute.

Speaker 1 And I have to say, Finn does half the time fall asleep. He's the reader that I'll look over and he's completely asleep and his book is on his chest.
But

Speaker 1 and they're reading like chapter books now, right? Like they're they are. There's also a lot of like

Speaker 1 what are those like manga graphic novels? Graphic novels. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 but Finn's also very into sports biographies and autobiographies, as well as as coaches of certain teams. But yeah,

Speaker 1 it's somewhere in between graphic novels

Speaker 1 and chapter books. That's fun.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, that's a nice family activity.
That's a nice habit. It's nice and it just kind of settles everybody down and everyone quietly, no, they don't push back.

Speaker 1 They just quietly read their books and then head off to bed. And it just, it really sets a nice tone for the end of the day.
Yeah. Yeah.
Calms you right down. I like that.

Speaker 1 If I had kids, I would implement that. Yeah.
It's

Speaker 1 you ever read Tim Biggie? No, I haven't seen him in a minute.

Speaker 1 Do you know what got me reading books when I was a kid? What? What? Pizza Hut.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 you guys are motivated by food. We know this.
They did a summer thing

Speaker 1 when I was a kid where if you read a certain amount of books, you could get a free personal pan pizza. I love this.
And you were like, I'm on it.

Speaker 1 I would go to the library with my grandma and get like six books or however many was required. That is so large.
And layered them.

Speaker 1 And then I would get to go get my free personal pan pizza. And how do they know you read the books? I think it was an honor system back in

Speaker 1 the day. You could be trusted.
And we know this nerd told the truth.

Speaker 1 Told the truth, and my grandmother, I think you had to have like an adult witness, right? My grandma was my witness.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's all she was showing up, smoking a cigarette and been like, Where's my pizza? How come more we should people they should do that still? That's really, I like, I know.

Speaker 1 It's like I feel like people don't think about books enough, but you know, Dolly Parton, her big charity gives has given

Speaker 1 millions and millions millions of books out. It's

Speaker 1 incredible. She is just perfection.

Speaker 1 Do you remember that feeling of going to a public library with your class or your parents or even your school library and like settling down in a corner with a book that you've just grabbed off a shelf and like you're in your little world and I love it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's snug harbor, man. Snug Harbor.
Snug Harbor. Snug Harbor.
Oh, I love it. I feel like there was a restaurant in Santa Monica called Snug Harbor.

Speaker 1 If there isn't, there should be a lot of stuff. On Wilshire.
Yeah, I feel like I used to go to this diner, Snug Harbor. God, I like diners.
Yeah, I love you too.

Speaker 1 I like a diner as well. That's another thing.
Books are good for. If you're into like going for dinner by yourself or

Speaker 1 to a coffee shop by yourself, it's kind of, you know, just sitting by yourself and scrolling on your phone is. But if you take a book and everyone's like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 Do you guys ever see people out in the wild just reading? Not as much as I'd like.

Speaker 1 It used to be on the subway. Everybody had their book, right? You know what I have seen a lot of? What? Is people

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 seem to

Speaker 1 curate their little table at like a coffee shop with their book and their coffee and their

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 but also

Speaker 1 they're constantly checking their phone. Like they don't want to see them reading the book.
Yeah, they want to be the person that's having coffee and reading, but they're not. They're like,

Speaker 1 you see them switch over to their phone like that, and they probably need to read Anxious Nation.

Speaker 1 And not to generalize, but it is often straight men who have a book on feminism or something open

Speaker 1 and highlighted. The feminine mystery.
Trying to lure in someone who wants somebody that reads a book. Yeah, meanwhile they're just on Tinder on their phone.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Look at Thomas is showing off all the books in his background right now.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 Actually, can I make a couple recommendations?

Speaker 1 Please, please, for people, where did that voice come from? Who was that? It was Tom. Fortunate was Thomas.
Oh, God, yeah.

Speaker 1 Our producer. Got it.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 8 First, Priest Daddy by Patricia Lockwood. It's about a woman whose father is a priest.
who he loves like hanging around in his underwear and playing like loud guitar music.

Speaker 1 Maybe that's for you.

Speaker 8 David Sederis kind of like painting a portrait of a weird dysfunctional family. It's so funny.

Speaker 1 Priest Daddy, I wrote it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1 It's called what?

Speaker 8 Priest Daddy.

Speaker 1 Hello.

Speaker 1 It's so good.

Speaker 8 Tony Tulatimoti

Speaker 8 has a book called Rejection, which is a bunch of short stories that are all about rejection.

Speaker 8 And that also hilarious book, but it really captures like online culture and how that's just like permeating everything and how it's also made us terrified of rejection and then the last book i'd recommend is called the vaster wild by lauren groff it's about a servant girl who escapes jamestown in 1610 and has to survive in the wilderness And it's just like, if you like a book that's just a total adventure, like you can't put it down, it also has one of the most beautiful endings of any book I've ever read.

Speaker 8 Those are my three recommendations.

Speaker 1 What was it? Nerdle.

Speaker 1 Who would you assign each book to? You get a pizza. Oh, wow.
Okay. I would assign.

Speaker 1 What was the last one?

Speaker 8 It's called The Vaster Wild by Lauren Groff. Okay.

Speaker 8 But I would assign that to Tig. I would assign Priest Dowdy to Fortune.
And I would assign Rejection to May.

Speaker 1 Oh, wait, what was the one that you would suggest for me? I get the rejection stories.

Speaker 1 And wait, what was mine?

Speaker 8 The Vaster Wild by Lauren Groff.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
Well, I am actually flying on an airplane today, so I'll be in an airport and I'll see if in the little bookstore if they've got...

Speaker 1 You're going bye-bye today? You could also

Speaker 1 download the Libby app and get you a library card real quick.

Speaker 1 That's true. Check out a book.
One of those might be available. I think we should put it on the list where we all three go in and sign up for a library card.

Speaker 1 Can we go in person to a public library and we never get a book and we

Speaker 1 snuggle up? No, we do not get to school. I wouldn't mind some snugs.

Speaker 1 You want a snug harbor with us? Yeah. I want a snug harbor with you.
Oh my God. We should do a trifle spoon.

Speaker 1 Trouble spoon with our clothes.

Speaker 1 Thomas reads to us. With our clothes on, though.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 We're all in our Braziers.

Speaker 1 Cranny panties and brassiers. Yeah, yeah.
Bonnets on. Bonnets for sure.

Speaker 1 That's something I think we've talked before about like something that your parents say as a kid that just irrationally makes you angry.

Speaker 1 And my mom would always say Braziers and it would just make me so angry. I didn't know.
I was just like, just say bra.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 we're going to need to buy you a brassier. What about a blouse? A blouse was big, but

Speaker 1 my mom loves the word blouse. Oh my God.
That's how you know for sure someone is straight. Yeah, they love

Speaker 1 a mouse

Speaker 1 or like a top, like

Speaker 1 that's a cute top. Yeah, that's so

Speaker 1 t-shirt. That straight.
That's so cute. Also, she called Blush.
She called it Rouge. Oh, yes.

Speaker 1 I think that's an age thing, though. Yeah, maybe.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, we haven't heard the answer yet. Should we hear Edie's answer? That's right.
God, we just love ourselves.

Speaker 1 Edie, who?

Speaker 7 Mine is a book that my niece told me about. My niece Olivia told me about this book, Bunny by Mona Awad.
