Nice. And then I still like can't stop talking about it. So, I arrived at and I was like, "Guys, I just drove on the highway to get here." And they were like, "Okay."

They're like, "Cool, cool." And then uh but they did an X-ray of my spine, which I've seen them do that on Instagram, and I've always wanted that.

Yeah. And it was very like validating because I was like, I swear something's up

with my spine, you know? And it turns out I do have a very slight scoliosis and a very slight I mean it's probably nothing but um

then he did some kraken and yeah it was cool to see my spine. We got skeletons in us dude.

Yeah, we do. We do. These bones are important. We need them to work properly and stay intact.

Yeah. And it's so weird how we're like, I'm me with my personality, but then you see your skeleton, you're like, we're all just this. Like,

we're all just these weird bones. Now, when they told you you had these things, is is it is it a problem at all? Like, are you um sore or having troubles with the with this?

Like, when I lie on my back, my right foot just goes like goes out. It's hard to explain, but and I feel like uh this is so boring, but I feel like

it it's like a twingy tingling feeling in my sacrum and I'm like this is going to go at some point I'm going to like five years from now I'll bend over and I'll be [ __ ] So I'm trying to

Like me in my hot tub. Like you in your tits out tub. Have you been in your hot tub?

No, but I did finally get back to treading water uh today. It has been I was on a long hiatus from it because I have been so busy.

Yeah. And uh I was like, I got to get my body moving again cuz here we go. Talking about aches and pains. My hips been hurting.

Yes. I feel so old today. Um so I was like, "Okay, I got to get my body moving again." Um but not back in the hot tub cuz you know it's tits out hot tub and um I just wanted to stay nice and warm.

Yeah. Um but people have been coming up to me going, "How's that tits out tub?" Tit hot tub.

I mean, you should be doing ads for that company. Just I know. Well, I just want it to be a a wee bit deeper so that I can be have some coverage, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. I want to be cold in my hot tub. How was treading water? Do you feel like you're out of practice or you're right back to it?

I like it when I have a distraction because then I that's what I used to love about playing sports is I had a my eye on on the prize so I would forget that I was like running or or tired.

I like it also with um training water. So my mom called and um she and I ended up talking for over an hour and I just put my phone on the side on speaker and so the whole time I talked to her I I treaded water and it made me like be able to do it for an hour without really realizing it.

That's so good. It was a good way to get back in it. Like, you know, whenever they're like training Taylor Swift or whatever to go on tour, they make them like sing while they're on the treadmill. Like do their whole show on the treadmill. It's kind of like that you're having to talk while you're Yeah.

I can't imagine singing three and a half hours worth of songs. That's I know a lot.

It's heaven and hell. It's heaven and hell. But my mom loved it cuz I ended up I think I ended up talking to her for like an hour or 20. I I I would take little breaks here and there from the treading. So, I'm going to say I treaded for like an hour.

Yeah. Um but yeah, that she was and she loved it because I'm not a big phone talker sometimes.

Um especially if I've been on the road and she got a whole mouthful today. So, yeah, you were settled in.

Lucky both of us. Captive audience. That's right. Yeah. Nice. Well, should we uh hear some questions from our lovely handsome listeners?

Keep smiling. Yeah. No, you can't. It's going to be in my head all night. It's a good song.

Uh yeah, let's hear Let's hear what everyone wants to know. Let's do it. Hi, handsome. This is Jasmine from Hamilton, Ohio. Uh, I think May would really appreciate this question, but I just wanted to ask you guys,

what is your favorite fact that you know or the the most crazy fact that you know?

That is a good question for you. I'm trying to think if I even know any fact. You know a fact.

Do I know a fact? Do you have a favorite fact? A favorite May fact? I do have several uh off the top of my head. Okay. One of the things at the moment that I'm into is

Okay, go with me. Okay, I'm I'm on this journey. So, when you die, you can get your ashes made into a thing called a life gem where they make your ashes into a diamond.

I have heard that. Yes. or you can get it made into 250 pencils that you can distribute to people to draw with or whatever they desire.

So I was then googling like how long of a straight line could you draw with one pencil before it

runs out to a little stub? Like how satisfying would that be? Like but it's like 30 miles.

So or 32 miles or something. And then I was thinking about how far is outer space from Earth and it's only like 60 miles straight up

which is crazy that you could you could drive there less than an hour if you you know on a

not even a full tank of gas. And then I was thinking okay that's two full pencils

and then that's about as far as I got. Uh, basically I'm interested. I'm interested in the life gem, the pencils, and that the guy who invented the Pringles tube has his ashes buried in a Pringles tube.

I love that. Yeah. Yeah. And then I'm still stuck on Fraia and her dancing plague.

Yeah, of course that's important. Yeah. And the Datloav Pass mystery is if you're looking for something to Google and go down a rabbit hole.

The Datloav Pass where like nine hikers in Russia went up into the mountains. They were found

one of them their tongue was missing. One of them their eyes were missing. They'd swapped clothes. They were radioactive. There are so many

Yeah, they had radioactivity on their clothes. so many weird details about it and it's never really been solved like

Uhhuh. so you can do a deep dive on that. Okay. Yeah. Wow. I I've never heard about that.

How about you? Um I just kept thinking, did you know that the human head weighs 8 lbs?

That's my vibe. Let's be honest. Is it 8 lbs or I can't remember. You know it's a human head. Yeah. Jonathan Lit Nikki. Remember him

in Jerry Magcguire, right? That little kid. Yep. Um gosh, are there any facts? Do you know any facts about cooters or

that there are t that they're turtles? Turtles are called cooters. Oh, that's crazy. Okay. Is that where that comes from? I'm trying to think.

Oh, if you got a snapping cooter, checking All State 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 is now charged, but my laptop's at 0%. Yeah, checking first is smart. So, check All State First for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with All State. Potential savings vary subject to terms, conditions, and availability. All State North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. Uh, somebody gave me um coasters this weekend um at my one of my shows and it's uh has a turtle on it and she called them uh cooter coasters.

Yeah, perfect. This is what I was saying about we do the podcast and then we go out and do live shows and people are getting us really on point gifts like they know our niche interests.

That's right. They're very invested in which Golden Girls we are. I've been having a lot of people reaching out about this

and they were very shocked that you and Tig had never watched the Golden Girls and I said, "Listen, welcome to my world."

Two against one or Yeah. Two against one. But me being the only one that has any sense knowing that the Golden Girls exists and have watched it and you guys have not.

Yeah. Yeah. It's very two against one. Uh fact is that th those women were like in their um 50s when they filmed that,

right? They were young. They look like they were 70 and they were like 50 years old.

One fact is that wombats have cubed shaped poo. Cube. Yeah, they poo in cube form.

And it took a really long time for scientists to figure out why. And it's like a really specific sphincter muscle thing but

Wow. Yeah. You could like pile you could use you could pile up their poo and make a castle if you want if you were so inclined.

I think I need to learn more facts because same actually I'm coming to me. No cter that one counts.

Thank you. The cter turtle fact is great. Yeah, but I wonder if only certain kind of turtles are cooters,

right? I'm googling what is a cter. No fortune. You're going to see some stuff.

It says it's a North American river turtle with a dull brown shell and typically has yellow stripes on the head.

That doesn't sound like we know of. But this but then right underneath it says, "What is a cter slang?"

And it says, uh, "A turtle, women's genitalia, or vehicle." Vehicle. This says cter is a vagina. Typically a lower class one.

What? A lower class vagina? Oh my god. What's a high class vagina? Like a like a pearl.

A vagine. A vagine. That's so funny. There you go. Should we hear Jasmine's? Yeah. Does Jasmine have anything?

I think we might get hit with a good fact right now. M uh mine would be that when the Romans discovered the pyramids, the pyramids were as ancient to the Romans as the Romans are to us now.

I think that that is absolutely insane just how old just how ancient those pyramids are. It's it's literally mind-blowing. But yeah, that's it. Love you guys. Bye.

Mhm. Mhm. Jasmine, you are barking up the right tree here because did you know also that Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of the iPhone than she did to the building of the pyramids? Like even for Cleopatra, the pyramids were just like a crazy ancient tourist attraction. Yeah.

Wow. Did you know that Julius Caesar was murdered by Brutus? Brutus. Yeah. Two. Nice. Yeah. And and Cleopatra,

the ides of March. The ides of March. I'm into that is when he was murdered at the capital.

Yeah. And and Cleopatra was killed by a snake. An asp. I think. But maybe it was suicide. Like she put her hand into a basket with the We got to look these things up. I don't know.

I'm pretty sure mine's true. Yours is true. Yeah. And when I'm on tour, if anyone wants to bring me some facts or your favorite facts, please, please. I'm open.

There you go. May loves it. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Jasmine. At two brute, is that what he says?

Yeah. Like, and you even you. It's very like Judas like. Hey, handsome. This is Sarah from Bainbridge Island, Washington. And my question for you today is, when you go to the movie theaters, what's your concession order? Or if you're the type to bring a snack from home, what do you bring?

Oh, can't believe we've never talked about this. I know. That's so funny because I was just talking about this with somebody about um they were going to the movies and I was like, I love the snacks at the movies.

Yeah, cuz I don't eat a lot of popcorn outside of the movies, but when I go to the movies, I have to have popcorn.

Yeah. Got to. Um, and they and in England they don't um they don't pop it fresh. In England they're delivering bags of stale popcorn and dumping it into the popcorn dump popping machine. And it's not the same like the movie theaters don't even smell like popcorn. Really?

No, we can't have that. You got to pop it fresh. We need that fresh popped popcorn. I love um I Popcorn for me is a must.

Yeah. And I do, you know, I know it's bad for you, but I do like it with that hot butter.

And when they let you do the butter yourself, oh my god, what a treat. And you need a lot of napkins, especially if I'm with my mom.

Yeah. I with popcorn, weirdly enough, I love a Sprite. Oh, yeah. Okay. I think Sprite and popcorn tastes so good together.

Yeah. Um, and I'm not I'm not a big soda person in general, but if I'm getting popcorn, a Sprite has to come with it. Now, occasionally I will get some um either peanut M&M's or um uh Reese's Pieces and if I'll buy them at the movie, but occasionally I'll have one at home and I'll just stick it in my pocket and bring it with me.

Oh, have one at home like one like a like a bag. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're pretty aligned, dude. I was ready to be like I when people are really focused on sour candy and stuff, I'm like, "Yeah, no." Not at the movies.

No, we want substantial like I I think if I'm alone or or with a friend I'm super comfortable with,

I'm if I'm being honest and I should just eat what I want all the time, no matter who I'm with, but I'm neurotic, so

you're an adult and you can do what you want. I know, but why don't I feel that? But if I'm

And you're and you're and you're really a fit. So if you splurge at a movie theater, who cares?

It's more like the the greasy like if I'm on a date cuz I'm like you. Like if I I'm getting popcorn, I'm getting butter and I'm even layering the butter. Like I'm

Oh, yeah. Like getting the middle part somehow. Yes. Yeah. And And then I'm feeling real sick after. And I get

Yeah. Like you can't really digest popcorn that well. And I found out that a lot of the um butter has coconut oil in it. And so

Oh, really? That's tough for you? I've been eating it for years. You have to ask them ahead of Do you ask at the movies

sometimes? Yeah, sometimes I Yeah, I avoid it. Chance it. I have chanced it, but I always thought maybe I'm allergic to popcorn, but it's got to be the coconut.

Some people, especially in North Carolina, are so crazy about their popcorn to butter ratio. I have seen people say, "Will you just fill up it to the halfway right now? Let me go get my butter and I'll be back." And they do it in the layers that way.

And the movie theater people were like, "Yeah, sure. I like that. Get your butter." So,

I have never done that, but I props to those people. I like uh chocolatecovered raisins and chocolate M&M peanut M&M's. Like, we're really I we're really aligned here at Fortune. I want us to just make sure we're acknowledging that

we are acknowledging that I think the best combo of flavors is a sweet and salty situation.

Um, so that's why I go popcorn and some type of chocolate. Yeah, I agree. But not candy.

No. Yeah, I don't want sour candy with popcorn. I don't think they go well together.

Yeah. And then if the theater if it's also dinner time, I'll sometimes get some nachos.

Me too. Me too. I love a nacho. If little nacho sitch with some cheese and jalapenos.

I get really stressed though if I arrive and and the movie is starting and the trailers are starting. There's a big long line for the concessions. That's the worst feeling. And then usually I'll run into the movie first, drop my stuff, see if we're still in like ads before trailers, and then I'll go out. But I don't want to miss a trailer. So sometimes I'll wait till like the movie started and then I'll go.

Oh, you're into the trailers? Yeah. Got to see every single trailer. I'm really into the trailers. I'm annoyed that like it says the movie starts at 7:00, but it's really starting at 7:25.

Yeah. Sometimes 7:30. I want the whole experience, but I think that's too much too many trailers. But if it was just the trailers, that's one thing. It's the ads that that [ __ ] you. Yeah.

I I want movie theaters to survive because I do think having a communal experience in film is important.

Yeah. Um but, you know, I think the movies are a little expensive and um the concessions are insanely expensive.

Yeah. I mean, I think if they were to tamp those down a little bit, they might be seeing people come back to movies more.

What I don't like is some of those VIP movie theaters where you can order like like pad thai or or stuff because it it smells up the whole venue and everybody
