May Martin and Fortune Beamster together again. Together again. Three handsome friends.

They said we couldn't do it and we did. We said we wouldn't do it after that we can't do it after. We need to put that song on our website. Has anyone looked at our website in a while?

Has anyone ever looked at our website? Honestly, that jam, that Christmas jam we did was delightful. I'm going to pat ourselves on the back for that.

Yeah, because we do have a handsome band now. Maybe we should do like an Easter jam like like he has risen or something. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's

Yeah. Welcome to the Christian handsome part. It would be really unexpected. It'd be really where we love the Lord and we talk about our love of the Lord.

I never It doesn't occur to me, but there's like a whole other entertainment industry that's just Jesus based, right? Like there's bands that are massive.

Big money. There's like standups. There's all kinds of people that just it's like we don't cross paths with that world, but they're stadian Handsome Pod. We We know exactly what's going on.

You know what's up. Yeah. Well, they have all those songs that you'll be like I'll be driving in the Midwest, you know, from one city to another and some song will come on the radio and it's like I love you more than I've ever ever loved anyone in my life. And it's like a jam and I'm like, oh, this is gorgeous. And then it's like

Jesus, you're like, oh, like you got me. I thought this was a love song to a lady friend. That's like Maria Bamford's joke about how like those churches will be like kind of in disguise and they'll be like, "Come on in. There's free coffee and and live music right now." And she's like, "Oh my gosh, that's so great." And then you wander in and and it's like, "Ah, they got me. This is a church." And um and that happened to me and Stephanie when we were in Austin the last time we were with Max and Finn and walking down the street and and we were like whoa look at this like 10 in the morning rocking out.

I'm like this is awesome and uh and it said free coffee and you know snacks and I was like what is this all about? I love this vibe. And then it was like ah they got me. Thank God.

Not that you can't love the Lord. Uh no, no shade of that. It's just uh quick. It'd be a real pivot for this podcast for sure. My best experience like dropping into a place of worship was uh you know in the Baslerman Romeo and Juliet, Leo wears this like night costume,

you know? So I ordered one online like from a woman in Germany and then of course you did

somehow got love to order from that woman in Germany. Yeah that woman who and it was a gay woman in Germany making Leo costumes for lesbians I guess and then so I ordered it and then I had to pick it up from a guy who was coordinating it and he was like can you meet me at my my temple my like Hindu temple. It was. So I showed up and it was like everyone quietly in prayer and this beautiful temple and this is in London on the outskirts and I go in I'm like should I come in and he's like yeah come in and meet my family and and then he's like ah yeah this this person's getting a a night's costume and then I went into like they took me all I was in there for like 90 minutes. It was beautiful snacks and

yeah it was really nice. That was good. The Lord The Lord's inviting you for coffee. Come on in. Rock and roll.

I can see you wearing that costume. That seems like a a good fit for you. I wore it in Feelgood. Uh

yeah. Oh, I was just trying to make my dreams come true. So transparent. Just being like, can I think of a reason why I'd have to wear this night costume?

How are you guys? Funny. Are you filming Fortune? I am filming. Everything's going really good. It's been um going well. It's long days, but we're moving fast and um I'm having I'm having a good time with the gals.

Have you come up with any games that you're into in between takes? Like, uh the game is have Kim Kardashian tell us as many fun stories as possible.

Yes. Is she a good storyteller? Yes, there are many good stories. Oh my gosh, she must have seen it all, too.

She has seen it all. And boy, is it fun to listen to. Yeah, you got to leak some of those on the pod.

Never. I cannot. You're a vault. I'm a vault. Otherwise, you don't get fun stories.

I know. Yeah. Are you trading? Are you giving her something, too? Are you telling her about when you dressed up as elf?

I did tell her the other day. I said, "I apologize that none of us have anything fun to give you in return. We're we're all very boring in comparison."

Hey, don't talk about my co-host that way. Exactly my point. May I just don't have any crazy stories like that that she's just got so and she's just lived out here forever. They know everyone.

What about your meetup days? You don't want to tell her about um what are my meetup Oh, when I

Yeah. when you first moved to LA. Or what about when you were went by yourself on a Sound of Music tour?

You guys, she would be riveted by all of these things. I'm sure she did the same.

In the very beginning, she like like couldn't tell when I was joking. So, she would kind of like look at me and she'd be like, "You're joking, right?" I'm like "Yeah." But now she's like just starts laughing. So,

yeah, that's good. Oh, she's success. She's starting to figure me out. Yeah. Now, one day you're going to come in and say something really sad and she's going to be cackling away.

I remember one time going to a party meeting people and they were like, um, where were you at? And I was like, oh, um, there was a lot of traffic. There was an accident and Uhhuh. And what?

Well, no, it was like 10 car pileup and Okay. And no, not not everything's a joke. Like I really am late cuz there was an accident.

Oh my god. Well, in their defense, you do set up jokes in that way. I look, I'm not I'm not saying I'm right.

I'm rarely saying I'm right. Yeah. I'm oftentimes wrong even. Yeah. Yeah. Not non.

I can't think of a single time that I've been right. Wrong. Oh, wrong. Oh, right. Right. You're right.

Right. Wrong. You're right. Right. Yeah. Tig, how are you? Well, um, as you know, I've been uh dealing with some uh some, you know, tough stuff over in Kitty City.

Yes. And um but we're we're staying positive. Um, poor little fluff has been going downhill for a few weeks and we just we kind of

may have I can't remember. Have you had animals or no? Like growing up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just it's like how they behave.

Yeah. You know how you know their vibe and you're like something's off. Yeah. Yeah. like Fluff is always a part of Kitty City and going upstairs, downstairs, eating with the other cats and then it it just started to seem like she was a little lethargic. You know,

even though yes, cats sleep all day and night, there was still even the way she was lying down seemed oddly lethargic. M

anyway, this past week really uh things took a turn and then man, last night really took a turn and Stephanie was like, I feel like we need to go right now to the emergency room. And so we did. We went to

this place so great. Um it's called MASH. I had never heard of it, but it's an ER in LA. Thomas said he used it for uh his pup. And um so they gave her we had had a vet this a boring story but

but now I'm imagining you at a party telling it and people going yeah well a week ago we had a vet come over and check her out and he took her blood and urine sample and all that and we were waiting on that but in the meantime it just like I said took a turn and so they gave her they kept her overnight gave her an IV and um some steroids and some medication to help her stop throwing up. And so now we're just waiting on the scans that should be in by the end of the week.

And man, are we just hoping for the best? Um cuz like right now we just went and picked her up this afternoon and she ate when she got home but then she immediately got into Finn's dirty clothes basket which that's not where she goes

like h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h

They hide when they're not doing well. So anyway, it's been fingers crossed. Thank you. Fingers, paws, toes, everything crossed. But also simultaneously when I got good news of being nominated for um the uh Oscar for Come see me in the good light.

Incredible. Which um has been I to be fair always believed that you guys were going to get nominated.

I I know. Did you really? Like 100%. Yeah, cuz I've never had You were like, "No, it's so hard." And we were both like, "No, I think

Yeah, you were like, but I've never had a more affecting experience watching a documentary." So, I was like, "Any of those voters who see it, there's no way."

I hear that and I appreciate it so much. Um, if you ever make a documentary with Ryan White, the director, he will be sure to let you know there's no chance in hell the project you're working on is going to get nominated or win anything. So, I've just been in it's not actually it's not him being negative. He really gave me some insight into how this process works,

right? The politics of it, the politics behind it. Um he said, you know, the past few

uh Oscars, there's been no American films nominated in this category. Just there's a lot going on. Yeah. and and I could sit and talk to you about it for like an hour like into even more detail.

But girl, we want to know where were you when you got the call? What did did you get giddy? Were you freaking like that is it's it's it's the childhood fantasy.

I saw you on a Zoom a Zoom picture with no shirt on. Yes. Yeah. Well, that'll happen.

Um looking for it. Did you at least have ponties on? I had ponties on. Okay. But the night before we had a Zoom call with all the producers and everyone and Meg and um Ryan again was like, "So, you know, I've we've been on the short list for the Oscar nominations a few times before." And he said, "The morning it's announced, it's on Oscars.com. They go on stage in a theater in front of a live audience and just list off the nominees just one after the other in every category." and he said, "And I've set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. to watch this happen only to not hear my project called." And he said, "You know," and it's it's a bummer. He said, "I'm I'm not sure if I'm going to actually set my alarm tomorrow." Mhm.

And I originally thought maybe I would and then after he said it like that and then he was like and there's not been any American documentaries nominated for the last few years I was like oh I don't know if I can handle I don't know if my heart can take not hearing anticipation

this documentary announced because it's really the first time I have campaigned and really given something my all in that kind of way and I think it's cuz it was easier because I'm not the star of it, you know, um and because I believe in this project and my friends and all of that stuff. So anyway,

when Stephanie and I went to bed, she said, "Are you going to set your alarm?" And I said, "I don't think I am. I think I'm just going to go to bed and I'll just hear when I hear."

Mhm. She was like, "All right." So I put on my my eye mask and my earplugs and I

Your breathing machine. Yeah. your Darth Vader mask, snuggle into my R2-D2 suit. And um and then yeah, I went to sleep and Stephanie woke up at 5 and she was like, "Oh, I'll I'll just watch this even though Tig isn't." So, she watched it in bed next to me.

Oh my god. While I was snoozing up a storm. And she said that when they said um you know feature documentary um film or yeah feature feature length documentary

Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah, we're all nominated for Yeah. Do you go to the um Oscars?

I don't I don't know. I haven't heard yet. I don't know like where the cut off is. I don't know how many tickets they get.

But aren't you the first gay beaver in a Disney movie? We know. No sexuality. Yes, we do.

Yes, we do. I've done a couple of Oscar things for them. They want they wanted me to do more, but I'm filming and I'm unfortunately not being being able to to be a part of it. So, I don't know. I have no idea if I get to go or not. If I do, amazing. If not, I'll be that's fine too.

I could take you as my date to the Oscars. I'm sure somebody would love that. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm going to appear as one of the waiters or something. You're gonna You'll Good.

You'll go to the bathroom and I'll be the bathroom attendant going, "That's right, guys." I've never I went as a journalist to the Oscars back in the day in the press room, but I've never been.

Wait, what? You were a journalist. Um, yes, May. For seven years and talked about it for the first seven years of our podcast.

Wait, how did I Did I really I I missed this. I don't know. That was my day job for seven years. I interviewed every celebrity in Los Angeles.

I don't know how I didn't know that. I don't know. I definitely talked about it right Tig?

Oh my god. Yes. If I know and I remember. I'm so sorry. It is something. It was it was my um day job like uh I started it part-time while I was an assistant and then it led to a full-time position. Um and I did it till 2010. Uh, and it was for um the newspaper, a bunch of newspapers. And it was when online stuff was becoming a thing, like news online was just becoming a thing. Uh, it was syndicated, so you'd write it and it would go to like hundreds of newspapers. Yeah. And then um

uh Yeah. So I've I would interview uh it was entertainment journalism, so I would interview like actors on the phone, writers, directors. I would go to premieres. I would go to award shows and I would be the person on the red carpet or in the press room.

Do you feel like a lot of journalists would want to be in entertainment outside of journalism? No. You know, like it's going to be me up there.

No, a lot of the people I knew were like if I had wanted to be a journalist, I would have had that would have I would have made it. That was a really cool job.

Um, but it just they and that I worked for these amazing people. the this uh my boss Stacy knew I wanted to be a comedian. So,

uh she was very supportive of that and like that's nice. I was taking groundings classes at the time at night. So, that it was like the perfect job to like

have to pay my bills and it was cool and it was adjacent to what I wanted to be doing right?

So, I still got to learn a lot about the business. I run into publicists to this day

who know me as a journalist. This is pretty trippy. That's funny. What if I am undercover? I'm actually a journalist writing an expose on you guys and I've done this whole podcast has been research undercover.

Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah. A lot. I'm playing a long game. Yeah. It's a really long game.

A long game. Yeah. How much career going for someone just trying to be a journalist.

But that's why I was going this this is not going to go past April, right? They're going,

I got to get back to work. Yeah. Well, and and what's funny uh is um I I forgot to I' I'm realizing this is midFebruary that this is coming out. We're taping it a little early

and I will have just been at the Independent Spirit Awards. So, I wonder if I won.

I wonder if you won. I've never been to that one either, but that one looks like a cool like a fun one. That one looks cool.

Yeah. So, I mean, imagine if we were all three of us hosting the Oscars and you you were nominated. You're sprinting between your chair and the stage and

whatever has to be done. You know, we still need to get on our tap dancing lessons for whenever that day comes.

Maybe I'll wear tap shoes to the Oscars and then if I win, oh my god, Tig, I'll maze into this

and then I just start tap dancing on stage, boys. Click click clunk click clunk.

I mean, while everyone's giving these heartfelt Andrea Gibson speeches, then I'm just like tap dancing in the background.

Andrea would get would get that. Andrea would love that. The temptation to do a bit

on such a global stage like that is so Do you think Andrea's whispering in voters's ears? Like

I hope so. But you know, I have to say, and maybe I've said this to you guys before, of course. I've heard a million times people say, "Oh, it's an honor to be nominated."

Yeah. Not that I wasn't honored in any other nomination. This particular category is mindbending.

Yeah. Have you seen the other documentaries? I've seen some of them. I'm still in the process, but man, this is and not not to take away from like scripted or any any other jobs um in in this

business or awards or whatever, but documentary filmmakers that are working on passion projects

for years, raising money independently and and being in the scene because I've been on this massive, you know, press tour and festival tour and just meeting all these people, they're so interesting and talented and highly intelligent and

yeah, it's it's it's it's like, man, whoever wins, it's sincere congrats. Like I like I'm I met a documentary filmmaker who'd been making a documentary about a kid who but it was following him for 10 years. It was following him from age 10 to 20 and it was like

they would do a couple weeks every year basically. But yeah, like a passion project, no funding, just like everyone doing it because they know they're making something amazing. And I just watched that documentary Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix.

Have you seen it? Group of artists. They are kind of trying to make a statement about like corporate like this mall that bulldozed a bunch of old buildings in their town and like took over. And so they are really interested in this mall and they have all the plans to the mall and they find like a little pocket in the mall that you can access via one.

Oh well I guess May went back to their um their investigative job. Yeah. Whoever May's been called to hire things.

That was wild. That was wild. It's like you're talk you're saying too much. We told you not to ever reveal.

You signed an NDA. Um, okay. I'm back. I'm back. Yes. Wi-Fi went out. Um, they build an apartment in the mall, but I mean with electricity with they somehow smuggle like a couch that they have to break into pieces and get up there and they have it for 4 years where they are like living in the I won't ruin it but

Yeah. What? And this is all top secret. Nobody knows they're living in the mall.

No. And there's close calls with security and all this stuff. And that would be exciting.

Oh my god. That would stress me out. So stressful. But the magic of it is that they're like,

"We're just doing this as art, like for no audience, no money, and they're like life as art." Like like a big scale prank like that almost. That is just And they remember it forever. And you got to watch it. It was really inspiring.

I would love to see it. Really good. Yeah. Um I too am watching inspired television.

What are you watching? Sounds like Sounds like maybe Fortune is not watching. Tell Me Lies and it's on Hulu and it's a bunch of people banging and being awful to each other in college.

Reality TV. No, it's a real it's um scripted. Okay. And um it it'll really hook you

really. It's they they are so horny. Oh god. And also so awful to each other and I don't know why but you like start watching and you can't stop.

You love it. I love it. And it's called what? It's called Tell Me Lies. And there's a bad boy. There's a bad boy named Stephen

who is you will hate more than any character on television you've ever hated. Really?

Um but he loves to bang. Um he's a hot bad boy. He's a bad boy that just um knows how to put it down. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Oh. Uh put put What did he put down? His wiener. He knows how to put his wiener down.

Put his wiener down. And you're saying the other contestants do not know how to put their wiener Not contestants. It's it's it's like a TV show scripted.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Whatever. Contestants. And he has a he has a girlfriend that he breaks up with for another girl and then they're passionate and they love each other and then he screws her over and gets back with the other one. And then he they're all lying to each other and they're mean and they're fortunes act out.

I'm just saying you guys have also watched important stuff. And what do you suppose that like what do you think sparks that interest for you where where you're because I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested if I watch it. I'm just curious with you having you having seen it.

I don't know. It's like one of those shows where you're you can't really describe why you're into it, but you can't stop watching it. I recommended it to another lesbian friend and she and her wife could not stop watching it.

Really? Yeah. Okay. I don't know. I don't know how Thomas like it. Honestly, I don't know. Give one episode a try and see if you get hooked. If you're not hooked on one, you're probably not going to be into it.

Like, you know, right away if you're into this vibe or not. It's called Tell Me Lies.

That's right. Okay. Grace Van Patton is the star of it. Is the theme song Tell Me Lies. Tell me sweet little

No, but they do have Tell me Tell Me Lies. So, it starts in modern day, but modern day for them is like 2015, and then it goes back seven years to when they were in college.

Okay. Okay. So, they they have a really good music in the show, but it's um covers of songs that were super popular in the 90s, and that's really fun, too.

I like that. Not 90s, 2000s, like Mr. Bright Side and stuff. Oh, yes. Um, so I don't know. I'm into it. And it made me realize that I was very boring in college.

Well, and so you're saying this is um inspire more inspiring than like come see me in the good light.

I mean, in a different different kind of way cuz what I feel like my documentary has going for it is like positivity and hope in the world.

Yeah. This does not have that. Oh, okay. This is tantalizing, scintillating, dark, horny [ __ ]

God, sounds like that is your spin-off podcast. Dark horny [ __ ] I know. And it's just you.

Welcome to Dark Horny [ __ ] with your host, Fortune Feminster. Wow. Yeah. Listen, I'm just saying I'm not comparing the two like apples to apples. More like to oranges.

Apple TV to Orange TV is what this is. Yeah. Well, we're very excited for you. Well, thanks. I appreciate the support. And um it's going to be interesting.

It sure will. And you know, when you said it's a childhood dream, I I can't say I imagined I'd ever be doing anything that would call for an Oscar nomination,

but um it feels it feels good and it feels like everybody that worked on this film did exactly the right job to make this exactly what it is.

Yeah. So, it was an inspired doc. Yeah. about living. Man, the in memoriam at this Oscars is going to be We just lost Katherine O'Hara.

I know. I know. Very sad day for Canadians. Well, for everyone, but uh yeah, so awful.

I'm Speaking of documentaries, I'm excited. There's a documentary coming out about the

Melania. Yeah, I can't wait. Uh no, the um this production of uh God Spellbell in the 70s in Toronto. Yeah, that had like Martin Short and Katherine O'Hara and Gilda Rner, Eugene Levy, Dan Aroy, they were all in this one.

Yeah. So, that'll be good. And also, what I was going to say before and now it's not relevant, but when I first moved to England, I was so bad at comedy and I did musical comedy and all I had was I rewrote Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies to Feed Me Pies, Feed Me Chickeny Pies. It was bad. It

chicken pies. Feed me feed me. And you just sang that on stage and people were kind of like, huh?

Yeah. Or did the crowd go wild? No, it was very much, huh? Yeah. And when at how long did you do that and then go, uh, I think I'm going to move beyond chicken pot pie humor.

I mean, it was a good six months. I was thinking that they're just not getting it, but I'm gonna

Yeah. Put the guitar. I keep giving it to them. Yeah. Well, you should record it and we'll release it on the website. Am I right?

No. I feel like it was just that joke. It was just feed me pies, feed me chicken.

Yeah. We have an entire website that can just be dedicated to any song you feel like putting out there.

Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. Around Easter time, you know what I'm doing. Yeah. You're going to be singing to the Lord.

Yeah. Happy Easter. He is risen. Should we get to our question? Yeah, let's do it.

Yes, we should. Tig.

I love Trixie. I don't think Trixiey's in drag for this question. Trixie, have you seen Trixie? Trixiey's drag is incredible.

That would take hours to put on. Not for me. Yeah, I could just slap that right on.

You could do that in the car on the way to work. Oh, yeah. One hand while you're driving.

I know. It's hard to break myself away from all those Steven the Bad Boy [ __ ]

It sounded like Gossip Girl to me. Like that vibe. Um it's way hornier than that.

Whoa. Yeah. I don't know. They're just always doing it and they're always lying to each other. That hints tell me lies. their podcast. Um, Trixiey's podcast is called The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya. Very, very funny pod.

Well, let's hear it. Give it to us. Hello folks over at Handsome. I am Trixie Mattel. At least I usually am. Hello. I know all of you separately, but not all of you together. I've been thinking about this a lot. Last summer, I had a pool party and I put on the invitation 2 to 5 and everybody was like, "Damn, [ __ ] Jump in the water and get wet and leave." Huh? But I don't think it's rude when you invite people to something to add an end time. Do you guys think that's rude?

I have strong feelings. I I love an end time because it means that people will arrive on time because they know that it's not like, oh, it says start at 2, but you know, people won't get there till 4:00. It's like, no, get there at 2

and then get out. He's ready to party. I'm ready to party. And then you could tell a select group of people, hey, I said on the invite 5, but stick around after. You know what I mean?

I know exactly what you I know you do do that. Yeah. By the way, are you back to doing that again?

What? Orgies? No, it has to happen organically. Okay. But yeah, I am in that era again. I would say

you're in that era again. Okay. Cuz I know you have a you'll have I'm still not.

Yeah, you're not in I know. I'm I can't do that either. Um I know that you have a like this is the this is the party the beginning party and then there's a late party. Well, you're thinking about that one party you came to

that became an orgy after you left. No, no, no. I was not at that party, but I came to the party a few weeks later where I was told, did you know what happened at the last party? And I was like, what? And then I heard tell of that. I don't know. I don't know if you did it again. Maybe you did it again.

I don't think I was even invited to any of these parties. Orgies out of the orgy. My my wife is invited to these parties. You weren't invited. You were invited.

You were invited. You just don't go. Yeah. No, I I'm not at every party like doing telling people to stay after for an orgy. But I do if if you don't give an

little personal invitation. No. As they come in, I slip a little card in their pocket. No, I don't. But

I was like this tig at the party. fortune seeing what was about to go down. I feel like that's you at any party. I've seen you at a party where you just kind of peek around and then you're like, I got to go.

I got Yeah, cuz when when things when it starts to get salacious that I do have to leave.

You're You have to bounce. Fortune. I can't sit and watch that. Fortune and I are bolting out the door. I do not want to be the old woman in the corner.

That's me. This it. That wouldn't happen though. It wouldn't It wouldn't start if there were two people who didn't want to be there just standing against the wall.

So So when it happened, there were no spectators. Everyone was involved. Are we We're back to the or we're back to deconstructing the origins.

That's a fair question. Seems like fortune's interested in origins after all. I would like to know I do. No, this is a light soft body. Um, and that cannot happen in one of these situations. Um, I don't want I don't need people looking at me while this is happening. You know what I mean?

Everyone's just worried about themselves looking, you know, and looking all around at the at the home.

Nobody's thinking about you. They're just thinking about their own privates. And

it's still not for me. Yeah, I don't know. There was a There was one spectator uh who said,

"Was it my wife?" Was it my wife? There was one spectator. No, there was there was someone who said "Um

I don't want to keep her on a tight leash or anything. It's fine if she was there peekabooing, but go on."

Yeah. Who was this per You don't have to tell us the name, but who was this person? What's her name?

Just a friend of mine. and and she was like, I yeah, I'm not I don't think I'm She'd been in the last Origy. She was like, I don't think I'm going to get involved, but I'm going to um be here to help like if anyone needs me to pass them lube or whatever or like just needs Richard's thing.

You didn't Wait, that is the shocking part is that that's used in an orgy or is like, "Oh, wow. Well, this has gone a little too far.

Too much. I'm going back to the Christian pod we started with. He is risen. Oh my god.

What's the name of your other pod is he has risen. I guess that that person can stay around and watch only because they did participate before.

No, anyone could stay and watch if they're Well, I don't know. I mean, I don't think anyone's protocol.

What does this have to do with What does What does any of this have to do with with an end time.

I think it has everything to do with it because Fair enough. If you have an end time, you

I think that's good because the people that you don't want just hanging around leave at the end time you've given

those fugos. No. No. Come on. Wait, what? What' you say? The fugos get an end time tig.

Okay. They don't get to be part of the Do you know what fugos is? I don't like like that's horrible. [ __ ] ugly.

That's horrible. Fortune Marie. What? I'm I can't believe you call people. I would be given I would be given an end time. I'm included in this.

No. No. Yes. I'm not I'm not ripping on anybody else. I'm How did this question become about me excluding people on it for an origin to be there? I was just making a joke. Everyone's beautiful. That was a joke.

Well, I mean, I don't get it. But it's funnier to say fugos than than the That is a fun word.

It's a fun word, but when you make me say it, that's not as nice. Say it again and tell us what it means.

I don't want to. Do you guys want to play a game? No. Okay. So, are you giving end dates, end times for your kids birthday parties?

I'm into a game. Why you don't want a game? Okay, the game is just and then you can decide. I'll put a big gulp of water in my mouth. Wait, Tig's taking her not participating. Wow.

Wow. I'll listen. I'll listen. How about a little yes and over here? Go ahead. No, but I'm sorry. My friends being a fugo.

It's just funny. It's just funny. You can you can just fug off. Very good. Oof. Pug oof.

Also, when do we talk about the end of the party? Tried asking, Trixie. Okay, go do your game.

It's not even good. But no, who cares? Just do it. No game is good. I stood up for you.

Okay, if I put a I put a big gulp of water in my mouth and then you guys one by one say you say one word out loud and and try to make me laugh and spit the water out.

Okay. Yeah. So, it's one word and neither of you say fugo, please. Oh, that was my word.

I know it was. That's not mine. Okay. Okay. I'm really going to try not to spell it.

Don't hurt your mic. Pony rides. Wait, we say at the same time. Pony rides. Cooter rides.

Um, cooter rides is good. Uh, go to YouTube. Uh, this is the most handsome I've ever seen. today.

Mhm. Oh, I got a word for you. Yeah. Lube. Oh. Butthole lube. We got to laugh, but no water spilled.

Mhm. God, we're not good at this. Or May is really good at this. I hate games. Tickle bitties.

Do you have I would keep saying Yeah, I swallowed the water. Should I put it back in?

I think we lost. No, I think we just lost. This is a terrible game. You almost cooked me at cooter rides.

I know. Curazz was good. That was really good. I felt like I would have I would have gone

on a cooter ride. All right, Tig, we've been dying to know about your thoughts on the end time of a party. Yes or no?

Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Right. Um, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Um, I don't know if it was on here or another podcast I was doing. Who knows? We talk for a living, right? We have no idea what we're saying ever.

No idea. Um, so I used to have like a big blowout, you know? I used to have like big parties.

Oh, yeah. After Cuz your birthday's coming up. Yeah. I'm done. I'm done. You're not going to do it? What do you mean? I don't like that you're done cuz I never got to go to any of these parties because I was always out of town.

I didn't invite you. You did? But I was out of town. You never been invited? I you know maybe some weird thing will happen and I'll do it again. But like I would go wide big and wide with the party.

What does that mean? like bartenders and food and like every like if I knew you on some level

you were invited to some degree. I mean it's like it's hard to invite everyone because

not everyone from the orgies getting an invite. No. Do you find it hard? I think we've talked about this like having moved so many times in life and being the ages that we are and the different professions that we've had of like keeping in touch with everyone. It is hard.

It's really hard and it's unnatural to have to be carrying on like a hundred conversations at once on your phone. Like I

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In different time zones. It's It's really hard. So hard. But that's why parties are good cuz you got everyone in one place. You see them once a year, you know?

I know. I don't think you should give up home parties. You You can like not have one this year, but then revisit it at some point.

Thank you. Could we throw you one? Yeah, you could. You could, but after the Oscars and everything this year, I this is when I'm having my first plastic surgery operation.

Oh my god. Yes. On my eyes. My dumpster, too. Somebody's found them in the dumpster. They're coming back. couple of rodents hanging off of them, but they're getting sewn on, too. But

they both have ornaments on them. But yeah, I have my um my We should We should podcast some night when I'm so exhausted because I am Popeye face like nobody's business. My eyelid, the muscle of it cannot open at all.

Can we podcast when you're recovering from the surge? Oh, sure. That would be fun. Yeah, I would love to show everyone

some kind of pill to Yeah, with an eye patch. Yeah. Hello everyone. It's your old sea captain dig.

That's a really good impression of me. It's be you with an eye patch cuz you would be a sea captain. Well, I'm for sure going to get on and as long as I'm feeling okay, you know, uh because apparently it can take a couple of weeks to like really feel like you're back in your body.

Hopefully, it'll be sooner, but um I am more than willing to get on here and be like, "This is my new Hollywood face."

Yeah. Oh, I I really want you to show up. And you you've you've had a couple other things done, too, just just for fun. Like what what

like Botox so that you I mean not not that you're like making crazy faces all the time as it is, but Botox so you're really still

I did Botox once for my I have bad like head stuff. Yeah. And and I was told that maybe Botox can help. And um Stephanie was teasing me the other night about that those few months that I had Botox and how she goes

um she was like that was um she said you were one of those examples of like you looked like a completely different person. And I and I just said um please don't ever bring that up again. That was a mistake I made.

Oh my god. Um but yeah, it's uh I I don't know if I can do that again. But it also didn't help my head at all.

Yeah. But um we all have our problems, right? Yeah. But yes, get out of my house by 5:00 p.m. I also love an early thing. What I do enjoy more than a huge party

is just a dinner party. Oh, I love a dinner party. 8 to 10 people. Love that. And you hang out.

Start early. You honestly? Yes. You have ordurves and drinks and you just chat and then you move into the food when you're ready. Listen to some tunes. I could do that until the cows come home.

But like a million people running around my house and property like so stressful.

It It's so stressful. and you don't get to sit down and talk to people one-on- one.

And I just I love that so much more. And if you add like the party ends at 8, but you're having a good time, you're like, "Guys, by the way, I wasn't sure if you'd be a fun bunch in a big group together. We can go till 8:30."

Yeah. Yeah. I I do love an end time. I do not mind an end time at all. I will say if Trixie's friends are a little bit right in that like 2 to 5 for a pool party see does seem short.

No. Yeah. You know what time to tread water. One I would have added one more hour. One to five.

Yeah. And pool party feels like it should be able to get a little wild. Like cannonballs. What are you talking about?

Yeah. You got to be doing cannonballs. What if you'd ruined the whole part? Everybody was looking for a chill day and you're just like belly flop. I Yeah, I think I threw one pool party years and years and years ago and it was so much work and I was like never again. I'm not great at throwing I don't throw a lot of parties personally.

Oh, but you want me to throw my big I did I did in my from 30 to 35. I threw myself a lot of birthday parties. I did do that.

Six a year. I mean, one one a year, you know. I was going to say more than five in that window of time.

And I had some good ones. I had one at the the gay country western bar. I had one at a piano. Oh, the piano bar was really fun.

Uh I had one at my house. Um I had one uh I don't remember, but I had some good bday parties back back in my single days. I miss the days where it's your birthday and you know I just got to invite everyone in my class. Just the 25 kids in my class and there's no hierarchy. It's just you. Yeah. I went to a kid's birthday party on Sunday and there was a bouncy castle and uh pizza and then all these

Did you know anyone there? No, I just was walking by. So it looked fun. Uh yeah, it was Sabrina's son's birthday and all the parents were there and it is weird that they don't know each other and they all have to socialize because their kids are there together. And then someone said to me, "Hey, a lot of these kids love the Beatles. You want to grab a guitar and play a Beatles song?" And I a part of me was like picturing this magical moment all the kids sing along and then I thought about what it would really be like and how I'd bomb and the kids wouldn't really want to listen and the parents would be like, "What is this?" I get the I get the lyrics wrong and it would seem like I wanted attention. And

you didn't do it. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. You just got myself in times of trouble.

That's Bob Dylan singing the Beatles. Yeah. Speaking. Should we hear um Trixiey's answer?

Yeah. I personally don't think that's rude. I think it gives everybody an idea of when things are meant to wrap up. Quality over quantity. Come over for lunch doesn't mean you should be here at 10 p.m. Do you guys think that's crazy?

Fair. Fair point. Fair. Well, because there are people that don't read the room.

Yes. And it's never who you want to stay. It's never the PE there's always one person that shows up like 10 minutes before the party starts and then and you're still like putting things out and they're just there not helping and staring at you.

Yeah. And then there's always a person you don't want to stay late is not leaving.

Yeah. So, it's the time the time um book uh book ends helps with the people that aren't as self-aware.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, and that's the problem with being so jacked up on drugs and alcohol.

Oh, that's So, we'll end there. That you don't pick up on cues. I'm just assuming like if you're trashed and you're just like

party continues. Did I tell you about when I went to that party years ago? It was like Nick Croll, Jason Sedakus, Olivia Wild. They had done like some film and they were like, "Hey, we're at the director's house.

Um, come over and hang out." And I went over there and it was very intimate. And like maybe 10 people.

Oh. And then weird. Then I said to the friends of mine in the cast, I was like, "Okay, when you guys leave, I'm just going to hang out at your director's house and act like I don't pick up that it's time to leave." And so they all left and I was just sitting at his kitchen table and I was like, man. So that was really fun.

Oh my god. Oh my god. You actually went through and he was like, yeah. You know, and he was like cleaning up and you could tell he was like, "What in the hell is happening?"

You thought you were trying to bang. Yeah. And but to this day when I see him every now and then, um, we have a laugh about that.

You love a bit. Oh my god. Well, I love an awkward Wouldn't you want to see that? Wouldn't you want to see me?

I couldn't put myself through the pain of that. Okay, but wouldn't you want to watch me doing it?

I would want to watch you do it, but it would be painful to be the person doing it.

I need to have a prank show. Yeah, you there's no audience for that. Your friends have left. It's just you and him and you're

Yeah, it's just I do so many bits just for me and then I share them. So, that's great. That's my nightmare.

Mhm. Well, being in an awkward situation, you thrive. I love it. I love it so much.

I have something really related to that, which is I took uh Par's daughter Ama to the Muppets premiere and so I kept bumping into people I knew and I was so excited. It was just me and Kermit.

Yeah. My buddy Kermit. No, like like friends who were coming up and then Amma was like, "Geez, like people keep distracting us from talking." And I was like, "Yeah, it's uh people keep coming over." And she was like, "Are they your friends?" And I was like, "Some of them." But uh I said, "Actually, sometimes people come over and I don't really even want to talk to them. I don't really know them that well." So

I just know you from your IMDb score. I said, "Amma, you could say you could make up a you could go, "Oh, May, you we got to go over here. We got to you know, you distract me." And she was like, "Okay, got it. Got it." And then this guy came over not five minutes later and was like, "May? Hey." And I was like, "Hey." And she goes, "May told me they don't want to talk to people at this party and that they want me to make up an excuse to get them out of the conversation." I was like, "She's referring to something else though. Not you. Not you."

That is so funny. That was really good. She was doing a bunch of bits actually in the bathroom. She goes, "May I flushed my hair band down the toilet?" I went, "What?" And she goes, "Yep, it fell in. I flushed it right down." And I was like, "She's doing a bit." She goes, "Come in and look." And I go and it's nowhere to be found. And And then she'd hidden it behind the door. But if she really committed for a long time.

Oh, she got you. She got me good. Yeah. Yeah. She and I need to have a prank show.

Yes. Oh my god. What if that was my story? I was like, and after everyone left, I hung my hair band on his bathroom hook behind the door.
