What inspired Fortune Feimster to pursue a career in comedy?
It's just lovely. I love it. I love it. A five-day weekend.
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 with Fortune. She'll be here in just a few minutes. I was just reading, you know, she's in that new Netflix television show, FUBAR, 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.
Yeah. And I sense that he has always wanted to be a comedian. But, you know, his accent and his size, 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.
It's pretty funny. But he's still like the straight man in the movie. Even the kids tell the punchlines. It's not a tumor. It's not a tumor.
Yeah.
so yeah and she's on like this small little tour and then we'll talk to her about it 100 city 100 city small no well right now she's doing like a smaller but she just got done with 100 city tour that's unbelievable when you go to 100 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.
