So something happened when I met Jax that I did not expect. My mom got a little jealous. Yeah, I remember if I would buy Jax something like a scarf, my mom would be like, I like scarves. I'm like, you're not my girlfriend. Their birthdays are five days apart, which is my nightmare. On this episode of The Commercial Break...
When I was born, she really, really wanted my mom to name me Fortune. She's like, that's the name. I'm telling you, like, that her name's supposed to be Fortune. And my mom really resisted it. And she said I would have to be Miss America to live up to a name like that. So I'm like, how dare you think I couldn't?

How did Fortune get started in comedy?
Lots of food, football, Christmas movies, all that good stuff. Family, if you want it.
That's right. If you want it. If you want it. If you want it. If you don't, you're probably listening to the commercial break. Your family has left you or you've left them. And you're like, I really need something. to undepress me from my depressing family let us be that uh with fortune she'll be here in just a few minutes i was just reading you know she's in that new uh netflix television show foobar yes with arnold schwarzenegger it's like an action comedy and i started watching a few of the episodes in anticipation of fortune being here and it's really funny and arnold is just he's naturally gifted at being the straight man you know what i'm saying yeah And I sense that he has always wanted to be a comedian. But, you know, his accent and a lot of his size, he's just, that's not what he's built for. But he's really good at playing off people who are comedic. And Fortune is great in this show.
I mean, Kindergarten Cop is pretty fucking funny.
Yeah.
So, yeah, and she's on like this small little tour, and then we'll talk to her about it.
Hundred City.
Hundred City.
Small.
What does Fortune's tour look like?
No, well, right now she's doing like a smaller, but she just got done with a Hundred City tour. That's unbelievable when you go to a hundred fucking cities. I know. I mean, you would think that would be fun, but I think by city number 20, you're probably like, okay, get me back to my own fucking bed. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like when I go on vacation, you know, we went to Europe, we went to Spain for a month and some change last year. And by day number 15, I could have used my own bed, even though there were still some exciting parts of the trip. But in that case, I was doing absolutely no work whatsoever. No. When you go on a 100-city tour, you are just killing it all the time out there, you know, working.
We'll talk to her about it. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, Chrissy, just so you know if I happen to be moody over the next couple of weeks, it's because I've started dipping my toe back in the news water. I have started to watch a little bit of news. I had to turn on that morning Joe and see what Joe and everybody was so up in arms.
