Checking Allstate First could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking to see whether the bus driver on my tour bus likes to gossip about the people who ride his bus? Big mistake. I don't want to become known for being the person who clogged the bus toilet, but I'm pretty sure he's going to tell everybody.

20.563 - 37.204 Tig Notaro

Always looking beautiful. Thank you. So gorgeous with that mustache. I wonder if I could grow one, like a really solid one, if I would. I think I could do it. I don't know. Blonde hair in general.

79.85 - 101.74 Mae Martin

oh you think light you know harder um and usually not as coarse right i would have like a soft little puby mustache like a peach like a peach fuzz sort of yeah yeah not as cool listen you could always try you never know yeah i sometimes grow a mustache not on purpose really and then do you shave it no

101.72 - 115.555 Mae Martin

Okay, because I have blonde hair, so again, there's little tiny, tiny hairs, but you can't see them. Right. You just see it if you put makeup on. That's when you see it. Yeah. Well, you know me. I love to put makeup on my mustache.

116.658 - 128.036 Fortune Feimster

Okay. I saw somebody, I saw someone came to a show the other night wearing the, I've got cheese in my pocket t-shirt and it really made me laugh. Oh, I haven't seen that one in person yet.

128.817 - 139.894 Mae Martin

It was really one of your best, one of your best catchphrases. I've been seeing a lot of people come to my standup shows wearing the GAMS t-shirts and

139.874 - 164.902 Mae Martin

and the fortune marie t-shirt oh my god i forgot about the fortune marie t-shirt and of course your stand-up shows must be all people with fortune marie well it's funny too because on the shirt the fortune marie is humongous yes you can see it from it's like everyone's yelling at you yeah and then the gams one is really funny in person Yeah. I don't know why.

Chapter 2: What advice do Fortune and Mae give for feeling handsome?

192.203 - 202.673 Mae Martin

I know, we have quite an array of merch. This is one of those pods where if something tickles someone, you never know when it'll end up on a shirt.

0

203.274 - 211.762 Fortune Feimster

Yeah, and then I really like people say that if they are wearing the merch out in the world, it attracts like-minded people or keep it handsome in the weirdest places.

0

211.823 - 222.594 Mae Martin

I like that. They point at each other. Oh, I also see the peanut butter bitch shirt quite a bit too. Yeah, good stuff out there, y'all. And I'm still a peanut butter bitch. I had it this morning.

0

223.395 - 249.176 Fortune Feimster

I'm craving it, actually. I've been eating such weird... I really have such a newfound respect for you, dude. The amount of touring you do, it's like, it really, it takes a... I'm having a blast. Like, I mean, I look back on it as this wild experience, but I mean, I... You don't do 100 cities a year or something. It's like just your routines, like you're eating at weird times.

0

249.196 - 253.847 Fortune Feimster

You're having to like just try to regulate yourself in whatever way. I don't know.

254.268 - 282.767 Mae Martin

Every tour of mine is every act, I guess, is a total of two years. So the first four months are me writing the material and doing clubs. And so I'll do like a club weekend where it's like four shows in the weekend. That's like the first three to four months. And then the next year and a half is theaters. And then I'll do – that's where I'll do 100 cities, 150 shows.

282.807 - 286.511 Mae Martin

And then at the end of that, I film a special.

287.012 - 292.738 Fortune Feimster

And when you're doing the shows, are you – how many in a row are you doing? Like, how long are you away at a time?

292.819 - 317.355 Mae Martin

Well, that's why mine goes on over the span of time because I'm not doing the bus like you. Because I'm just such a – I just need to, like, center myself – So I'll go out and do like three cities in a weekend, come home, maybe go out the next weekend, come home, take that weekend off, go back. Okay.

Chapter 3: How do personal experiences shape our sense of handsomeness?

811.189 - 816.377 Mae Martin

I feel good in this. Yeah. And just being okay with that, you know, is helpful.

0

816.658 - 826.414 Fortune Feimster

Yeah, agreed. Agreed. There's something very magnetic about people who are comfortable in their skin and confident. It kind of has nothing to do with what they look like.

0

826.714 - 850.053 Mae Martin

I can promise you there are many 19-year-olds out there who are unsure about of what they're wearing and feeling a little self-conscious because that's just age, like being young. Yeah. It just takes a little while and life experience to just get that comfortability. So yeah, You were definitely not alone in that feeling.

0

850.073 - 871.716 Fortune Feimster

Man, the first time I ever did any acting or anything, I was like, oh my God, of course, everyone is wearing so much makeup. And growing up, I wish I'd known or been reminded that like... Everyone I loved had bad skin and just was like airbrushed or had tons of makeup on for photo shoots. Men have it on. Yeah. Yeah.

0

871.756 - 882.453 Fortune Feimster

Like, don't let yourself try to live up to these crazy standards because it's all fake. No one looks like any of these. Well, that's not true. Some people do.

882.874 - 904.016 Mae Martin

And it's crazy. Gorgeous. Yeah. Other people look like... Me! Look at that beautiful face. Me! What's up, you guys? Well, thank you for that very cool question. Yeah.

904.357 - 905.479 Fortune Feimster

Thank you so much, Paul.

Chapter 4: What are the challenges of being a touring comedian?

906.185 - 913.193 Lindsay

Hi, handsome. I'm Lindsay. I'm Tanya. And this is Susie. And we are all public school teachers from Minnesota.

0

914.034 - 919.881 Susie

Oh. We are also best friends. And love to listen to your podcast and regab about you, handsomeness.

0

920.502 - 926.128 Lindsay

So our question is, if you were a public school teacher, what would you teach?

0

926.809 - 931.855 Tanya

Like what grade level and what subject? And why would you teach that?

0

932.088 - 960.375 Mae Martin

Oh, wow. Well, first off, shout out school teachers. Shout out. I love a gaggle of school teachers asking a question. Yeah, seriously. That is such a hard job. I have a tremendous amount of respect for teachers. My mom was a special education teacher for 30 years. Yeah, my sister-in-law was a teacher. My ex was a teacher. Her mom was a teacher. Many teachers in my world.

960.415 - 965.088 Mae Martin

And yeah, it's a tough job. So thank you for... What you do.

965.128 - 990.107 Fortune Feimster

Seriously, overworked, underpaid, and just, yeah, shaping our futures and the future of society. My mom was a teacher for a little bit too. Yeah, I know it would be grade 10 that I would want to teach because that's when I learned. That year I learned the most and I was the most suggestible. And I think I...

990.087 - 1005.21 Fortune Feimster

I had one teacher who, for Canadian Studies, he made us watch like... It was completely unconnected to Canadian Studies, but we would watch like Rebel Without a Cause or Dr. Strangelove or these like classic movies. And it made such an impact on me. So I think maybe I would...

1005.342 - 1028.093 Fortune Feimster

do something pop I do Beatles maybe and and like stuff around the cultural revolution around the late 60s I could teach a course on like yeah on on that era of uh the Grateful Dead and and all that I could see you teaching a course at some point for like a college or something no
