Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. If it's your first time, please sit down, make yourself comfortable.

We are happy, happy you're here. Thrilled. You found your way here to this little enclave of

Yes. friendship. And did you say enclave? Yeah. Oh, no. Did I say something wrong already?

We Well, I think it's two against one. I would bet it's two against one or two.

I do say enclave, but that's all right. You have your You have your Canadian spin.

You know, I've never said it out loud before. I think I've only read it. Enclave. Yeah, that sounds better. I only know it because I', as I've told y'all before, my mom used to refer to Province Town as a gay enclave.

Yes. Yes. I recall. So that's that was always seared into my brain because of that.

A gay enclave. A gay enclave. May not a gay enclave. Gay a gay enclave. Well, something that is in is Tig's mustache. We

menopause. Yeah, menopause is really busted through. Yes, it does. That's just like a thick five o'clock shadow above your lip.

I have to I have to shave it couple times a a day, actually. It's very Yeah. Also, I'm Italian, so it's a whole situation.

That's like handlebar mustache right there. Mhm. That's something that someone would grab onto and take a good old

Yeah. Take a good old Good old What? You know, no. What? A good old take a a a good old ride on the mustache.

Wait. Well, fortunately I see. Okay. Okay. Okay. I tried not to say it. I knew what was happening there.

You I thought you may I thought you knew exactly where this was going. I thought you were going to say like a good old tug or something like that.

Oh, no. Just free mustache rods over here. It's just menopause. Just menopause.

It's a menopause. Never heard of an old mustache rod. I like that. But if you're new to the pod, so go to YouTube. Tig, this isn't just that Tig has sprouted a little bit of menopausal mustache.

There's a thick mustache happening. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, I'm 54. I did tell someone the other day I was 45, which is not true.

Why did you say that? I got my numbers mixed up in like a clockart kind of way. I was like, "Well, I'm 45."

And I was like, "Wait, I'm not." You kept trying to find that person to correct yourself.

Yeah. They're like, "Okay." Mhm. How are you both? Yeah. How are How are you? How are you? Well, this is going to air quite a while after how we are today.

Yeah. Yeah. But but I'll tell you, I am happy to be home and warm and dry cuz I was on the Star Trek 60th anniversary Rose Parade float.

Oo. And it was God. Pouring rain. Uhhuh. And it was cold. Yeah. And um and yeah, I didn't know what I was quite in for. I was like, I don't know if this is really my style, but I'm going to go out of my comfort zone here and wave to people and say happy new year,

smile, and Yeah. And then, guys, something very surprising happened. What? It made me emotional.

Really? Really? Yes. How so? Like the Grinch. Like your heart grew three sizes.

Yes. Well, I feel like I'm I'm pretty emotional. I'm pretty not like hyper so, but um

things get me. This I didn't expect to get me, right? Yeah. What about it got you?

There was such a mix of hope and desperation in people's faces for a happy new year. a

you know and like when I was looking at these people who had made a decision to come out in the cold rain

to stand for hours and wave and this is not like just a parade full of celebrities and public figures. Some of it is just like a whole float saying come visit Louisiana, come visit Mississippi and then this high school marching band and you know what I mean? It's like it it's it's not celebrityheavy. It's it's like

such a mix community. And then to see people leaving. I don't know why it struck me, but like when I really locked in with people's faces and eyes, I was really trying to really get them to have a happy new year. Like when I like I was like

like I would make eye contact and I would be like have a happy new year. I just like, man, please. Like I I like looking into just faces of like the elderly, elderly, elderly,

and then also people that you could tell maybe didn't have a lot of money and then little kids and just

ju it just runs the gamut where you're just like and they're all just being decent, wonderful people. And then you also see like these tatted up guys tattoos up to their up their neck

like we got to go to the parade today. But truly like somebody where you would think, oh this person might make me uncomfortable um cuz they look like a tough guy and then this guy is just waving with all of his heart and soul like happy new year like smiling so big and I was just like this is killing me. Yeah,

this is killing me in the best way. And when I came home and told Stephanie that, she was like, "That's so interesting."

And I started telling her and then she teared up. She was like, "Wow, I I get it." Like, it's so crazy those little moments that you do not expect

are going to get you. And then another fun surprise. What? So many handsome fans.

No, really. screaming at me and having merchandise and t-shirts, I guess. Did I mention it on here?

Yeah, you did. Yeah. Oh, okay. And people are just like they're keeping it handsome in the rain.

And truly yelling from their rain ponchos, keep it handsome. Keep it like holding their merch. And I I just It was really something. It was Yeah.

And of course, it would have been all that much better if it wasn't raining and cold.

Yeah. Did you have like a Star Trek themed raincoat or something? Do they give you something?

They give you like a clear poncho and a clear uh umbrella and the rain kind of came and went, but I just kind of settled into, okay,

I'm going to be freezing cold and I'm going to be alive at the end of this situation.

And uh but it was not terribly comfortable. Um, but it was so worth it to see all of those

again a mix between desperation and joy of and mainly joy. It was just like it was the best feeling.

I would do it every year. I would do it every single year. I'd wave on any any flow. We should get a handsome flow. There we go.

Well, I know you you've always I know you love parades in general. Um, you love like early

I love a parade. Don't rain on it. that mustache. Yeah, he shocked your parade.

You know, I love a parade. Uh it's just like don't rain on it. Well, they did today. They rained on my parade.

It's always reassuring when you get out and about or even at a a comedy show or something like when people get together, it's like especially it's January, it's dark and I think there's a lot of pressure to like hit the ground running in the year and like, oh, I got to be thriving. But it's still winter, like things are dark and rainy. And if you're feeling low, this is a great advertisement for getting out with your friends or going to Yeah. Go see a movie where you're just with a bunch of people in one place.

I say go to a parade. Go to a parade of people. Go to a parade and wave for hours at people. And I'm telling you, it feel it does the heart some good. And uh yeah, I just I I now really love a parade.

I love a parade, too. I haven't been to a non-gay parade in a while. Most of the parades I've attended have been for the gays.

Sure. But this straight one sounds lovely. I've also done Martyra parades. Like my hometown

will have they have their Martyra parade and I used to get on the float as a little kid and float and throw stuff. Yeah.

But um this was a whole different thing. I've never been to a Marty Gro parade uh in New Orleans especially.

Oh. But uh I'm intrigued because I've heard the what the beads do when you throw those.

What do they do? You get to see you know. There we go. We were We were so wholesome. We were We were having such a wholesome and old mustache.

You're You're making me say it. I'm trying not to. All right. You get you get to see

mctomy scars. You get to see big old bitties. That's right. So, sign me up for that parade for sure.

See, I've I've done my share of New Orleans Marty Gro, but it's that's a little too much for me. I like a small town Marty Gro.

Yeah, that that one seems like it would be just like debaucherous, crazy, too like too many people. I don't know if I would actually love it.

Yeah, you can imagine if Let's say imagine like a family of four starts leaves their house one morning and they just decide we're going to start a parade. They start walking down the middle of the street and they're maybe they have a boom box or something. How long do you think till people join like a conga line? Would anyone join?

Like you just start marching down the street and you go, "Hey, come join in. I need a sanctioned parade."

Oh my god. Thomas put that on the list. We should start a handsome parade/ conga line.

Oh my god. How long it would take I think in the right city. I think in the right city during the right season

it could especially if we went to like the gay area. I bet we could New Orleans. I mean you could start there's parades that you know just pop out of nowhere.

Yeah. You know, every I went to do a bunch of cities over the holidays and everywhere I went, they're like, "When when's handsome coming through here?"

Oh, really? I'm like, "Everybody calm down. Calm down, everybody." Do you think we'll ever do like a fullon tour like where we just hit a bunch of cities in one month or something? I don't know.

You guys are good tourers. Like, let me get back to you after this tour. This is my first know what you think.

Oh, right. Right. May how I hold up on We'll definitely do oneoffs here and there until that time.

Yeah. Okay. And then and then you never know. May might fall in love with Tori.

I might fall in love with Tori. That's right. I might fall out of love with touring.

Yeah. Yeah. It always pulls you back in though. That's it. I think so. Cuz you'll say like, I don't know if I'm doing this much longer. And then you're like, here's 10 more shows.

Right. I would love I would do a tour with you guys if we had like a a bus that had a fireman's pole and two two floors and two firemen picking Tig up in her night gown.

Yeah. Whisking me away. I did a I did a New Year's Eve show. Those are always fun.

How was it? Uh where was it? In Seattle. It was incredible. the audience like you were saying with like uh looking into people's eyes, they very much Yeah. just like wanted to feel like kindness and love and happiness going into this new year and everybody was just very like

happy new year. Happy new Yeah. People want very much for it to feel lighter than Did you get to do the countdown?

No, I did an earlier show like a 700 p.m. show. So Oh, okay. it. They got to, you know, have a little festivity and either go to bed or continue on with their night.

10 nine. Hey, I know. I should have done a fake countdown. Yeah, 100%. Today, instead of our usual ads, we're bringing you a bonus listener question on the Her hotline presented by her, the only app dedicated to sappic dating. Let's hear our question.

Hey, handsome podcast. My name is Vivie. I am searching for some advice. I am a sophomore in college and I've recently discovered that I am lesbian after many years of denial and confusion. Anyway, uh this wonderful person has come into my life and we are wonderful friends. I so much value her. The thing is is that I have developed more than friend feelings as my therapist would say

or just romantic feelings and I don't know if I should tell her how I feel or just not tell her. Um I'm really I really don't know what to do. Has anyone ever been there? And if so, I would deeply love to hear your advice. Thank you so much. All right. Goodbye.

First of all, congrats. Yes. That's exciting. Congrats. I have strong feelings about this.

Okay. I think and this not to be a downer, but I I actually think hold off for a minute because I think you're it's like an exciting moment in your life and you're discovering these things and it's easy to like sort of the the first close friendships you make with queer people to sort of project onto it and think, "God, that this is the the person." But you're young and and you're going to meet so many people and if the friendship's important to you,

you could put vibes out and see if they're reciprocated. And I think if you put the if you know,

I I think it'll become clear if the feelings are reciprocated. But I think declaring it in a statement, it's more important right now that you have friends and community and they're out there dating and it's easy to think, oh, it's it's got to be this person, especially when it's all new to you. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I agree. I think nothing wrong with putting a few like subtle vibes out to see if that, you know, maybe that clicks, but um less of a like formal would you like to go on a date with me? Yeah. Um maybe maybe hold off on that for a minute and just allow yourself to kind of settle into this new um discovery of yourself and not not I know you're kind of antsy to like want to experience all the things but I I came out a little bit later and you know had that sort of antsiness but you'll you'll get to it. you'll have a lot of time, like May said, to experience these feelings and experiences and um and maybe you'll go on the the dating app and um you know, meet some other people in the process

and maybe it will end up being this person. But I I just think um yeah, let it let let time take its course. Is that is that a phrase? Yeah, I hope that helps, Vivie. And yeah, don't forget to check out the her app. It's the only dating app actually built for Sappix by Safix. Perfect for a restart this new year, especially since her isn't just swiping.

I'm in the desert, guys. Oh, how is that? Uh, it's really rainy and cold, but it's been

start Yeah. Yeah. Should I just me? I started I drove up here. That's the longest drive I've done. That was pretty wild. And then I got a bunch of friends and and my friend Atlanta actually, you know, Atlanta Johnston.

She had been nervous to bring her puppy cuz he's puppy energy. And she was like, "I don't know. It's a long drive." And then like,

you know what? If he gets into stuff at the Airbnb and then I kept saying to her, "It's going to be fine. It's going to be great. He's, you know, he's a dog. He's he knows what to stay away from." And so we're in a fenced in backyard here and we had not been here 8 minutes when we hear and we look over and he has a cactus sticking out of him. I mean like a ball of spikes just sticking out of his sort of hunch and he's just kind of trying to get at it. And then

and then I really saw how bad I am in a crisis cuz she was holding him still and I was like I'm going to prick my fingers. Like it was so spiky. And when I felt how deep in him it was, I was like, "Okay, she can't know how deep." Anyway, and then she just she took control.

How deep? Just the spikes were like this deep in him. But he No. No. They were like really got in there.

Was he bleeding? No, he was actually fine after. As soon as we we took it out, we made sure nothing was stuck and he just licked it a bit and then he was totally fine. But but she sprung into action. All like all business.

She seems like an action springer. A good A good mommy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The desert got you have to We took Biggie to the desert once and uh he kept getting into this one bush and he wouldn't leave it alone and uh it's cuz a lizard was in there and it it like swatted at his eyeball

and uh one of the dead eyes. Yeah. It had three just trying to get some life into it. I I get he was like he kept like doing his um eyelid and I was like something's up and I look at him and there's just three like lines across his eyeball.

No. Yeah. And I was like oh my god. So we took him but they do like an ointment and then it's he's he was totally fine a couple days later. But man, there's all kinds of stuff in bushes.

Yeah. The desert's scary. Yeah. When you guys go on a long drive, are you getting honked at or

Oh, man. Are you going too slow? Do you guys have people swerving around you? Honking.

I thought I didn't slow. Like by the end of the trip, I was like, "Oh my god, I nailed that." And Atlanta was like, "But we had three separate people honking at us." I was like, "Yeah, but everybody gets honked at." And but no, I think I was too slow. What were you going?

You know, it was nighttime on the highway in the desert and maybe the speed limit's 60 and I maybe I'm going 52.

Okay. Yeah. 50. Yeah, they definitely want you to I mean, I'm glad Listen, I'm glad you're being cautious cuz you're a new driver. Did you put the magnets on your car?

I'm too embarrassed. Fortune. Come on, May. That's what Christmas present was magnets that says new driver.

Be patient or something. be patient. I thought I don't want to I'm going to be a magnet myself.

Guess who wouldn't have honked at you? Those people. Do you think I think now here here's my here's my words of advice. I would I would try to just go the speed limit.

Yes. Okay. And then also here's a thing that drives me crazy on the freeways. Okay.

And I don't know if you were guilty of this or not. I wasn't in your car, but a lot of people keep always forget that the left lane, that's the hammer lane. hammer that you're going you go faster in the left lane.

So if you're if you're that's where you'll find fortune burning rubber. That's right. Yeah.

But it's also the p it's a p like it's meant to be a passing lane as well. So if you're a slow if you're a slow person you got to go to the right.

Yeah. But when you're in the right then people are merging into that lane all the time.

I that see that's what you were doing. You were in the left lane. That's why people were honking at you. The left lane, and people do this all the time, is the fast lane. It's the passing lane. It ain't the cruising lane.

Okay. What about this? Oh, you know May's in the cruising lane. So, if you're cruising, bud, you go to the right.

But cruising for some chicks then. Yeah. So, they're definitely going to honk at you if you're going slow in the left lane because that's the fast lane.

What about you know how when you you're at a red light and you you got to turn right? It's Yep. It's just your personal choice if you want to turn right or not. Correct.

The standard thing that's agreed upon with everyone is that if it doesn't say no turn on red, you and there's no cars coming, you do turn on red.

Okay. So, if you're just going, "No, I'm going to chill." Then, but you definitely passed your test.

Yeah. Listen, there's a the thing about the about learning to drive is it doesn't prepare you for all the judgment calls like the

split second judgment calls. But anyway, I'm really loving it. Like then so the other night I by myself drove into Joshua Tree National Park and I went up to like by myself wound around and got out and sat and wrote in my journal and I Yeah, it was really dreamy.

Oh, cowboy. Were you by yourself? I was in in in the national park. Oh yeah. And I listened to one song. It was the first song I've listened to in the car

and it was uh Take You'll Like It. It's It's Ramsay Lewis uh doing Crybaby Cry by the Beatles as like a jazz song and it I listen to it and imagine me in the desert just blasting it.

Okay. Yeah, it was good. So, I'm still trying to get a lot of firsts in with this car, you know. Well, yeah, you're you're still learning, but um

clearly if feel free to ask us any questions. Okay. Okay. And by the way, I did meet two people in one of my meet and greet lines that had the the phrase little cowboy tattooed on them.

What? Mhm. Tattooed on them? Two two different two different gals. But did they have it before?

I don't know if it was permanent, but it was on their body. Whoa. And because we

part of their body Yeah. uh little miss thing out on the road. The arm, one was an arm and the other one told me she had one, but she would have had to pull her pants down and that old.

She was like, "Can you just step over here?" And I was like, "Whoa, I got to remember to tell y'all that little cowboy

tattoo as a tat." Tattoos thing is is crazy. I I I uh a woman once had like under her butt crease had got feel good in the font of the show.

But that was pretty interesting. And see, I got wayward under mine. Oh, you did on your butt crease.

Yeah. Yeah. Great. Under where your boobs used to be wayward. Yeah. Wayward chest.

I know cuz I'm casual about tattoos. Like it doesn't freak me out cuz I I know I impulsively get tattoos but sometimes it is a little you don't know how to Someone once had a hashtag May Martin's property.

And the hashtag is what freaked me out the most. Not the rest of it. No. Yeah. Why did I say that? No. Yeah. I I guess the hashtag

we both thought the rest of it was totally made sense. It was reasonable. The hashtag was weird. Now, that pushed it into weird territory. Yeah.

I That's when I had a few questions. I was like, "Okay, you need to explain this hashtag."

I really didn't know how to respond. Calling the police in the moment, though, cuz that's permanent. You can't go, "What have you done?" Like, so you go, "Oh, wow."

Yeah. You have to be into it no matter what. Wow. Okay. That's not into it. You can't be like, "Wow, I like I like everything but the hashtag."

Yeah. What's with that hashtag? That hashtag is freaking me out. But but you're being my property. Great.

Yeah. Get in line. Now, can you break down what it is that made you nervous or uncomfortable with a hashtag?

Yeah. Well, I think because think it through. It's so um modern. It's so like it's not timeless. It's like a hashtag is like at some point

like if there was like a horse and carriage next to it. That would be more like it maybe. Or like a little a monle and a little

Oh, they've had this a while. Yeah. Yeah. There's just something about the hashtag. It was like Yeah. We might not even have hashtags in 5 years. Right. Right.

Don't say that, May. Don't ever say that again. Not cool. Don't a word a world without hashtags.

Thank you, Fortune. Listen, God willing, we will have hashtags until the day we die.

God will die forever. Thomas, record this. Good lord. Oh, by the way, our song was a hit.

Oh my god. So, how are you how are you qualifying hit? I had people stop me on the street the day it came out. I swear to you.

What were you doing in the street? I was walking and I say when I say people I mean one girl but still it was a day it came we so we had a a song that we the handsome band finally got together for and sang over the holidays

and a bonus app for you guys and uh and she goes I just heard the song and my friends and I text each other and we're like oh my god we love this song.

That's great. It's a hit. It's a real hit. It's got something for everyone. As I'm accepting our Grammy Award, I'd like to thank Mr. Thomas.

We need We need like a new Grammy Award category that's like podcast host making songs for advertisers.

It's really niche. It's just us. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think our band has a real future. I think too

I think we got legs. Well, we got gams. That's for sure. Yeah, we got wheels now.

We got gangs. We got wheels. We got gangs. We got two tits out of six. Yeah. Now, also when my sons heard the song and Stephanie, our whole house couldn't stop singing it.

It is such a catchy tune. I mean, I bet if I had a family in my house, they'd be singing it, too.

Yeah, that's right. For sure. Why did I say that? Well, just putting feelers out there. Yeah. just been feeling.

If anyone has a family that wants May to show up and Yeah, I will love a family.

I will show. You would love a family for sure. May would love May said they would love a family.

Oh, okay. Yeah, but you know what? I got to make sure that it's not just that I want to like Oh, we're getting deep anyway. I got to make sure it's not just that I want

deep babe. Yeah, that's what we're here for. Little cowboy property. Yeah. #girl dig deep.

I don't know. I just got to it make sure it's not just that I want to like practice devotion in a way. You know what I mean? I want I got to be

uh specific and discerning. You want to you want to have devotion towards the right person. Is that what you're saying?

You don't want to just be devoted to devotion. Yeah. I And I I never even thought I wanted a family till I met somebody I wanted one with. And and so I'm like, okay, I can't now just be scatter gunning saying, give me a family.

I got to stay discerning. Don't be scatterging. No, I've never heard that. And then you meet somebody, you can sing hopelessly to you.

Yeah. So, so because did you find yourself recently just like hoping to meet somebody with a that you wanted to start a family with like but not really being into the person?

I just love I do love and I I I can get almost spiritual about it like that especially with you know Yeah. Like I think putting someone's prioritizing someone, putting their needs first, you know, but um

do are you are you into the uh what they call lovebombing? No, I'm not a love bomber. Well, maybe people would say that I have been in the past.

In the past, but not on purpose. I just get excited. You just love the love. You're like, "This feels good and here's a lot of love."

And so, what exactly is lovebombing? I feel like I started hearing this a couple years ago. And

well, so the definition of the diff the difference between like affection and seduction is intent. So love bombing would be

high warmth, low intent. So or like, you know what I mean? Where you're it's like

constant texting, gifts, talking for hours, but you don't actually have an intention of

of a relationship. That would be you don't know yet if you how you really feel about that person.

Mhm. So you could go lukew, you know, sometimes the people go lukewarm on you because then they realize they're not that into you, but and then it leaves that other person going, "What just happened? You were like

all about me and now you're like ghosting me, right?" Oh, so there's certain personalities that go in super hot in the beginning

and and but they they say things and I don't know if they mean it or not, but they they'll say things in the beginning of like, you know, I see my forever with you and like you're the love of my

get you pregnant, but then you know it's only been like a couple weeks, right? That would be

That's a red flag for sure. That's a red flag. What if you're feeling that way and you're like all in on

I think then you you should Hold on. Hold on. Sorry. Go on. You're all in on your new little honey bunny.

Yeah. Uhhuh. And you're going nuts. You're just like, "This is the one." Yeah. And then

And then several mornings in a row, terrible breath. Oh. And it's not that you stopped liking the person, you're just struggling.

It's one specific issue. Yeah. Well, if your intent was that you really were were into that person, it wouldn't be love bombing, but now maybe you just don't feel as strongly about them because that breath be stanking.

And maybe if you really love them, you put a a a clothes pin on your nose. Yeah, you put a clo Yeah. If you really love me, you tape up your own goddamn nostrils. Is there no romance?

No, cuz we haven't. That was a classic. Do you remember the origins of it? It's your your dance.

Yes. My my middle school dance. Yeah. And they told you guys that y'all had to stay a pineapple apart. And we went, "What?"

And Miss had a pineapple and she carried it around and she would put it put it between us and the boys.

I think she's thriving. As far as I know, she was in a secret relationship with Miss I shouldn't be saying this.

Love was secret lesbian relationship back in the day. Wait, were they lesbian behind men's backs or just behind the school's back?

Just roommates. I think this travel companions. Yeah, it was like an Anglican school and they were Yeah, they just they were everybody knew but they just weren't open about it, I think. But I think I think that's changed. I think. Yeah.

I love it when two ladies that are single just run off together into the woods.

I had friends in junior high school. Uhhuh. Who lived on the same culdesac? No.

And their moms. No. We're having an affair. Oh my god. This is the biggest small town.

I don't want people cheating. I'm talking about single people. I'm not Listen, I'm not here promoting cheating. I'm just telling you. I'm telling you what happened.

That is scandalous back then. But listen to me. This was the 80s. Okay. I know.

And so these moms got together. In fact, I think I tell it as a story on one Mississippi when I act as a DJ. But um so their moms get together. Wow.

Leave their husbands. Whoa. Whoa. And one friend moves in. She's They're best friends. The daughters are best friends. The daughters who are my age.

God. Wow. So, their parents break up and then the moms move into one house and so do the daughters and they don't know their moms are gay. They're just like, "Wow, we get to have a sleepover every night. This is awesome."

Wait, they just told the daughters, "Y'all stay in this house and we'll go to this house."

No, no, no. The daughters moved in with the two moms. Oh. And they still didn't know.

No. And they stayed on the same culde-sac. Oh my god. And then did the what happened with the

And they're still together. Oh, that's nice. They are still together. And um and I remember as the years went by, every time I rang my friend's doorbell and her mom came to the door, she got butchier and birchier every year. I'm I'm picturing it as a montage.

Hang on. I got to check my my pager. the the hair just getting shorter and shorter

truly. Truly, but they are still together to this day unless something happened in the past couple of years, but I don't think I don't think so.

And they still live in that town. Uh I don't know where they live. Um but I think, you know, everyone's come around and I think the dads kind of like they get together for whatever. You know, it's it's crazy. It's uh it was Texas in the 80s and

Oh my god, that would have been the biggest scandal at the time. And but did Sure.

Did the kids at school find out or did everyone just think they're roommates? Uh I think everyone just thought they were roommates. I mean, I didn't quite I didn't even know I was gay and I was just like, why is my friend My friend's mom just seems

different. She just I just couldn't put my finger on what was happening. She seems handsome all of a sudden.

Yeah. And then I hung out with my friend, one of my friends, um, years later, like in our 20s, and she just told, she was like, "Oh my gosh." And then it caused weird friction with her and her friend because there, you know, there were secrets. Nobody understood what was going on, but everyone was doing their best. I'm sure everyone's still doing their best. And yeah,

but uh, it was really, it was very bold. Very bold. Very bold. And, um, not common in the area. Thomas, did you find the extreme song?

Back to that. I found it where Okay, this is where we're trying to find the moment where his voice becomes.

It goes from like soft. No, where where he says, "Never let me go." Oh, yeah. Never let me go. I just did that. But it it goes from like a like an acoustic sing along to I can't hide that I'm metal.

Weird. Did it happen already? No. You'll know. Okay. Wait. Okay. Here it comes. Everyone listen. Let's listen.

No, that's not it. Oh, that's not it. No, but I'm enjoying this. was delightful.

And you know, he became Wait, so the final lead singer of Van Halen? Really? Oh, really? I didn't know that.

Yeah, that's cool. It went David Lee Roth. So then it went Sammy Hagar. Huh? We didn't hear the We didn't find the part.

No, it's Never Let Me Go. We cannot move on. Why don't I tell you my answer? That's a great idea. Um, well, I haven't thought about it at all though.

Oh. Um, should we go back to Thomas? No. Uh, well, I feel like, um, I do like our original Handsome Us in suits.

Oh, yeah. I think we got to have a suit in there for sure. Yeah. Um, and you guys smell good. I want to smell good. So, not the natural deodorant.

People can hear you even when you whisper like that. fortune. I'm going to put in my uh my cologne. Mont Blanc.

Oh yeah, that's the cologne. What is that? Like men's cologne. Get on up here in my nook, girl.

Oh my god. I wear flowery. No, I don't. No, I don't wear anything. You wear on you.

I don't really like scents. I I like to smell good. Um, and so that's definitely one of my handsome pack.

Okay. Um, Biggie, since you're bringing a bunch of random dogs, I might as well bring Biggie.

They're not random. I love each and every one of them. It feels like you just grabbed a bunch of dogs when people weren't looking.

But Biggiey's going to be there and he's going to have on a little suit, too. And his suit's going to match my suit and we're going to be so handsome. and fortune. Just because I practiced puppy snatch Yeah. when no one's looking doesn't mean I'm not attached to these dogs.

I know. I know how you are with animals. I I get it. I'd also have a nice pair of sunglasses. Ones that I hopefully didn't break with my belly.

Yeah. And them sitting on my lap. Um so some sunglasses and probably some curl cream for me. Keep those curls. Of course,

I got to keep them curls tight. Yeah. And um a vibrator. Fortune. Oh, yeah. A vibrator is a good idea. I like that. It's kind of transgressive. It's like hand the way to be handsome is a dainty little vibrator in your

A little tiny one. All my keychain. What about a strap on? I' I'd have a I got I'm putting a big I'm putting a big old strap on in there. My god. I'm sorry, but I got to

T if you don't mind me right now. It's the most handsome thing I do. If you don't memory, right this instance.

Oh, Tom, thank God. Swear to God. Thomas has got this queue lined up that I don't even really understand what we're looking for. But

does Thomas have rock and roll? I think I found a Mayarie on that. You have to like tee it up with like some really nice

Okay. lead in and then oops, I'm actually heavy metal is the moment. Okay, look how handsome he is.

Here it comes. Stop singing. I can't help it, man. Here. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

He's like, "Yeah, I remember." I think it was confusing cuz you said never let me go and it was don't ever let me go and that forune is confusing.

Take step away from the mic. Take five. Yeah, take five. Go on a little walk. I we didn't know what you were referring to. So,

okay. Well, this is this is a guy ever let me go. And then he goes back to you know he he's got his little acoustic song but you can't hide rock and roll though. You can't, baby. You can't hide it.

That's what this mustache is. Is there anything else that we've left out of our handsome starter packs?

Well, I kind of I want to hear what Ashlin has to say cuz Ashley is very handsome.

Yeah. Yeah. Ashlin's good looking. Very good. Me kind of look similar. Yeah, we all like if you merged our faces we

Ashley has curly hair as well. So, just very similar. You think three of us blended equals Ash hair?

Yeah. You just kind of like squint put all of our faces together. We all have chiseled.

We'd all be as attractive. I want to see it. All right, let's hear it. So, I would say a gallonsized water bottle because at this point it really is my personality and I'm either highly overprepared or deeply underprepared and there's really no in between.

Mhm. Oh, staying hydrated. My starter pack would have to include chapstick, I guess, as well,

without it. Yeah. I think my last item for my handsome pack would be a sexy tool belt because

I don't really know how to use a drill, but I like to look capable and sexy. Yeah. Nobody's going to look at Ashlin and think, "This chick can't handle a drill."

That's right. Oh, I But yeah, I like that. Uh I like the tool belt. What was the first one? Oh, yeah. Water. Staying hydrated.

Tool belt isn't sexy. Ashlin, that's my question for you. That's a good question, too.

Thank you, Fortune. You guys know what else should be in the handsome starter kit that I forgot about?

Mad Libs. My deuffer. The puffer. My mama's the puffer. Got to you can't have you can't have any bags on your eyes when you're trying to be handsome.
