Welcome to the Handsome pod. It's Tignotaro sitting here with my co-hosts. May Martin. My fortune-themed sir, Handsome, Handsome! We are Handsome and we talk like this. I just took a shower. Do you like my slick back hair? Like I'm in the outsiders? Yeah. That's except your own side. Pony-boly. I love it. And then I saw, I mean, Tig, you won't have seen this because you're not on Instagram, but I saw that fortune-posted a picture of her with straight hair and it is something to see. It is something to behold. Well, can you pull it up, Thomas, and give me a pig-see? And why is it recent that you had straight hair? Or is this. It was for Kenan Thompson sitcom. So this would have been like 2020. And that's how your hair was on the show, which they. Straightened it. So. And fortune was like, should I bring this back? Should I do this again? It was like a straightened it and it was kind of a mola. And it was every time you were on the show. Every time. There I am. Wait. There it was. There it is. Right there. Look at that. That is good. Look at it. Look at that mola. It was a lot on my hair, though. It doesn't like to be straightened every day. It takes a lot of heat and pressure. It takes a lot of heat and these curls are like screaming at me. Yes. But they thought it was hilarious. I love it. Who, the listener, are your followers? No, the show. That's why they. It was their idea, not mine, to have that hair and what brought it up for you to put it on your Instagram. Every now and then, I'll do like a throwback to a show that I did and that hair style made me laugh. So. Yes. This wanted to give it a little moment. And your followers were delighted, I was delighted. May was delighted, which is all I long for. Some people were like, that's layers, bring it back, other people are like, don't ever do that again. That's terrible. And then there's a contingent of people who have that hair that are like, great, that looks great. Yeah. What's the problem? I see myself in you. Yeah. That's for sure. God, how that person talks. That's right. Yes, man. Well, you're not going to believe this, but I just woke up. I slept from 11 p.m. until noon today. You were talking. I have a little cowboy. I have not been able to do that in like years and normally I can't, like I just wake up. But somehow, I was deep out because there was a lot of drama at Casac cowboy history. I was going to say, is there emotional stuff, is there emotional stuff? That's like my theme song. What happened? Well, I mean, it's not actually funny, but I, so I, I was having a massage. I get out. I got a text from my friend, oh, no, no, not a horny massage. Oh, not a horny massage. Okay. A regular, a regular rejuvenation. Exactly. Exactly. Very platonic massage. And I get out and I have a text from my roommate Matt who lives here and he's like, hey, buddy, are you home? And I'm walking up to my house and there's a fire truck and your house fell off. I thought he was going to say the guest house fell off the mountain. Hey, buddy, no, but the brush beside my house, like I had lit, I mean, had gone up and it almost reached my wooden gate. This is the second time it happened like a week ago, but a smaller version, I guess there's unhoused people that live in the brush there and they were all doing something. Yeah. But this time, it really, three palm trees went up, then the firemen came to, the firemen had to go to hospital. One smoke inhalation and one got like an allergic reaction to a plant. Anyway, it was wild and what the heck? And before the fire truck got there, like we were just taking little buckets of water. Well, they left and then it was still on fire. We didn't know what to do. We called them back. It was so crazy and so close to my house, like I can't even tell you where to reach where the flames were with the little buckets of water. Yeah, it's right. It's right there. I don't even understand how an unhoused person could even spend any time back there because there's a cliff. There's a little, it's like three feet probably on one section in the brush, but now it's all burned out. And the crazy thing is so I was, after the fire truck's left, I was like dumping water because it was still smoking and yeah, because they had got it out and then it kind of came back to life. That's what happened with the palisades fire. It's like laid dormant for a week. Yeah. For a week, oh fuck. Okay. But then my neighbor came out and he was like, yeah, it's an arsonist. I saw a guy with a lighter come and do it. And he said, it's the third time recently and he said, I saw this guy. I saw his man. I know. That's bad. That's bad. And I went, I called them back and I was like, the neighbor saw a guy lighting it and they're like, well, if you see him again, call the police. But yeah, pretty freaky. It's scary. That is terrifying. That's how these things get out of him. I know. So I've ordered like a big hose. So your body was like, there's an arsonist behind the house. I'm going to sleep. Yeah. My body was like, well, come on. Yeah. Yeah. I'm here for this. I didn't come here for this. So wake me up. When this nightmare is over. Yeah. Seriously. Yes. That is really scary. Yeah. I know. There's something really unsettling about an arsonist. When it's very dry in California and California can just go up and smoke it any second. I know. I know. I know. It's so dry. I don't understand this. That crazy ass compulsion to do that. Well, I heard a several of these big ass fires have been started by arsonists. Apparently a big part of it is like a fire fetish like wanting to and then when we were putting the buckets on and I kept thinking, is there someone like watching us somewhere, like watching the reaction and enjoying it? So that was really creepy. So I'm not really sure what to do because can you like coat your house in some anti-fire spell or like substance? Just from watching all the fire footage for the two weeks last one was that two years ago. Some people buy one of those, there's like a sprinkler on a stand that like they put on their roofs and stuff. I mean, but that's like, I bought four fire blankets, two extinguishers and one big hose and I'm just. Did you use the fire blankets for your nap? Yeah. Then I got real cozy under there. They were so cozy. Yeah. It seems like something, I mean, I would join forces with your assistant and do a massive Google up about what the hell to do because I would, that's really concerning. I know. And so Matt was home and that happened. Thank God. Yeah. Yeah. So he was freaking out. His text was very calm. Hey buddy. Uh huh. You coming up anytime soon? Well, the fire on the hill. Yeah. Are you also on fire? But I really thought when I saw the firemen, I thought they are, you know, I have like a bit of a distrust of police, like a healthy distrust. But I was like, firemen, fuck, they, they're just doing it to do it. They're headed towards danger to save others. The time. Yeah. That's why TIG has a fireman fantasy fetish dude. I get it. For firemen. Well, the one that had the smoke inhalation, he took off his shirt at one point and I got to say he was he was ripped. It was, I was like, do you give massages? And how was his face? Was it, um, mustache, rugged and handsome? No, to be honest, he looked about 21. He was like baby-faced, hairless, ripped chest, not to objectify him, but he wasn't, uh, he wasn't handsome at all. Oh, he was deeply handsome. Oh, he was. And kind. Yeah. Deeply handsome fella. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so that's my drama, but I slept really well, which is, it's weird that that's the night that I slept. Very odd. Very odd. You just bought you a house right in the woods and on a, on a. Ledge. I know we thought for sure you had purchased a safe home. You said for the record told me don't do it. I let the record show. Well, I'm hoping now I can tell the city. I'm pressuring them a lot. I think I can say it's a fire hazard. Like if because if that had been covered by concrete, that wouldn't happen. You know, but it's all just dry brush. Yeah. Yeah. Weird. Weird times. LA is weird. Hello, city. It's May Martin. Do you like LA, May? I love it, but I don't. Yeah, I do. I love it, but it has a little danger to it. You know me. And so do you prefer it over London or Toronto or? I loved London, but I think 12 years I think I had done my time there. I just one morning was like, is it all the rain? Yeah. And being there during COVID, and it was like the sky was so low and gray and I just was dumb, but but LA is pretty wild. I mean, the constant like, well, the big ones coming. Who lives in a city where people say that? That's crazy. They've been saying it for 23 years. Which means it's really a 25 years now. It is really a comment. Trying to think when the last big big one, was it Northridge? I think so. I can't remember what year that one was. I believe it was 25. Oh, 94 then. I think in my future, in my future, I'm going to go out to the woods one day and just live like a herd. But yeah, just make sure they're not on fire. I know Henry David throw. Do you have that fire app? Yes. Oh, yeah. You should get to watch duty. And it's in your backyard. Yeah. I'm looking at it like this. Yeah. I have trouble sleeping. It's getting better though. And I was in Toronto working. I think it was on season one. And I don't know. I was not on fire. My apartment building was on fire. But for some reason, I guess it was just pure exhaustion. I slept for over 12 hours. And I woke up so confused. I was like, it made absolutely no sense because at that point, like two years ago, I was going on like three hours on average. And now I'm up to like five to seven on average, which I would say five and a half to seven, which is so much better. I can work with that. I bet I bet he white used to sleep for four hours a night. Yeah. Really? So if she could do it, take can do it. And I'm getting better all the time. Like I'm really working on it. And it's showing some results because you at night, you're like lighting a candle. No, I don't want the place to burn down. Get yourself in the mood. Yeah. Well, I think it's partly the first time in a long time that I knew that I didn't have anything until one 15 the next day. So my brain let me, you know, right? How interesting. I don't know. But I feel like a human being again. But also maybe the tiredness takes the edge off the anxiety because you're just a little out of it. So now I'm I'm lucid. I'm present. And I'm anxious as well. You're like, May is back. I'm like, I'm fully full of energy to be anxious. Ready for the Canada Qatar World Cup game. Oh, when's mom is? Are you pumped tonight? Yeah, it's in a couple hours. Yeah. Whoa. Oh, that's right. When my show started. Yeah, where are you? I was going to ask. I don't know this curtain. I am. This curtain is unknown. I'm in Portland, Maine. Right here. My brother. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My brother is right outside of Portland, Maine. Yeah, I'm doing two shows here, two nights, which is rare to be in a city for two nights. Yeah. It's also gay pride weekend. So lots of gay flags around here. Oh, nice. I'm going to eat a lobster roll. Pretty stoked about that. Okay. I'm going to. I'm going to. How was it? Something really dirty. What did you almost? I'm taking my ear buds out. I always said I would go down on a lobster roll. Yeah, I just go to town on that thing. Thomas, can you wave one and say for me to put my ear buds out? I think because I think because Tig gets so worked up about it. For shimmering, whatever you said, maybe you want to do it more because I'm not. I don't really talk dirty. That much. Except for I do use ord cooter a lot. Yeah. Do you use that romantically? No, I can't wait to touch your cooter. You got the most beautiful cooter in that nice cooter. No, that word cannot be romantic. I don't know with you. Fortunately, Marie. I honestly don't. It's true, though. I sometimes find myself like it is enjoyable to scandalize you guys sometimes. Yeah. Are you doing a good job of it as well, my friend? I have clutched my pearls several times with some of your stories. I haven't done it once. You haven't scandalized us? No. Yeah, you're right. You need to step up your game. No, no. I am the senior citizen of the course. I have to set a good example. That's true. That's true. Yeah. I got to get my little duckies in a row and say come on, little quack quacks. That's why. Let's keep it clean. Let's keep it in line. Let's go. I'm the middle quacks. I'm the middle one over here. Yeah, you were. Actually, I wonder if we do fall into those rolls. There's tropes. Yeah. Tig has the oldest sibling energy with the pod, for sure. Yeah. Why? Because I get my little quack quacks in line. That's what I call Max and Finn and how cute is that? That's really cute. Come on, my little quack quacks. Especially when we're crossing the street on a crosswalk. That's where it really comes from. It's like, come on, little quack quacks. Let's get across that street. Keep it moving. Keep it moving, quack quacks. As we get right into fall, I've been wanting to get a little cozy, but I had a problem. My blankets don't feel quite right. Some were scratchy, some were small.

My favorite is when it's a street that doesn't really need that. It has a stock blade. People take such pride in that role and I love to say good morning. Thank you. Toronto has a lot of those. I would chat with those crossing guards. Really? Toronto has a famous one on Queen Street. She likes to dance. Oh really? Yeah, she's really. I'm sorry. You like small talk with a stranger? Yeah. We would chat as they they were walking across the street. Wow. I mean sometimes I don't want to brag. They were familiar with my work. Yeah, it was your straightened hair. So we were chatting about that, you know what I mean? I went to BAMP. I just got back from BAMP. Oh yeah, I was so great. BAMP would a great word. I know. It's so good. I've never been there. It's like BAMP is like that kind of word where you start saying it and then all of a sudden your mouth throws all letters at the end. BAMP. BAMP. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's so beautiful there. Have you been there, Tick? I have not. It's like Disney mountains, rivers. Yeah. My friends Shannon and Jason, they went there. They went skiing. I believe for their honeymoon. It's very romantic and They split up too. Oh great. Yeah. I But they're friends. Everything's fine. Oh, good. That was our follow up question. Yeah. Yeah. Good. I was staying in this hotel That's like a castle and it's haunted and First of all, I'd be going in the elevator and I'd hear hi handsome like I have in like three times and it was so nice And it was just handsome listeners and then So I met this guy. We had a mutual friend or something and he was like, hey, yeah, he said I know Brett Goldstein And he said last night I went to a seance in the hotel and He was I mean, the hair on his army showed me was standing up just talking about it He said I was holding this like divining rod that they gave me and it was spinning. He showed me videos He was freaking out and I was like, wow, I wish I'd been there a Few hours later. I start talking to this guy. He says yeah, I held a seance here for people last night And I was like, oh my god. I heard and he goes we tricked them. We pranked them so much I was like you're kidding. The guy was all made up. Yeah, he said we had the lights going. We had these fake like sound recording things I could not believe it and and what do you think you would have fallen for it? You would have fallen for it may of course I would have been telling that anecdote on the phone and like ghosts are real. I'm 110% sure Yeah, what about you? How would you have handled that fortune? Um, I would be like open to it and a little suspicious. Yeah It sounded like it was really well-produced like and and the hotel is famously haunted and It sounded like they scared the shit out of these people. They went to all like Stairwells and we're like I think they made it colder in one stairwell and things like that like they really went to I think I would have been open about 25% and Special 75. Yeah, because I'm always I'm interested and let's let's see something. Yeah, absolutely I mean let's go cheesy moment where you're like okay. Yeah, yeah, like they go a little too far. Yeah, like they're they're killing it And then suddenly it takes a turn and you're like, well, I know that's not real. Yeah I mean the silence was hosted by a former playboy bunny who has a podcast on paranormal like activity So that would have been my first red flag. I think like yeah ghost titties. Oh my god. Yeah, ghost. Yeah, people we all yeah ghost during my show because I make a ghost Reference at one point and I've had several people go. Yeah, ghost. I mean, I would remember it if somebody yelled Yeah, ghosts, right, but just in my day to day, I wouldn't maybe hold that up. Yeah, ghost titties situation. Yeah, you weren't in it I was. But did you do you ever have a thing guys where you're on stage and then someone yells like a handsome reference and then you have to explain it to the rest of the audience you're like I do it's totally familiar with it. I find it's a Yeah, sometimes no, for sure. I leave it be a little float out there. Yeah, that's smart or I'll say it back to them and just not make a reference. Right. And just move on like when they go either way. Yeah, go so go. Yeah, ghost and just keep going. There's some people in the audience for it's like You're a little too eager to talk. Yeah, you know, and so you have to kind of I do I feel like I have to steer clear. I'll sell. You know, yeah, I get to Yeah, get a little too. I always go I always forget like you said that most of the audience might be familiar so someone goes like May Marie or something and then I spend 10 minutes going. Oh, I have a podcast and Tignotaro is also Want to fortune someone says things that take us to say Thomas is a producer. Yeah. We're now at Hulu, but yeah, you can stream us a day earlier. And Of course, this is also a May fact and yeah, so take if you've been home quite a bit or you said I got home Like four days ago Maybe and I guess the boys are on summer break, right? I got home three days ago. Yes. And they're doing sports camps Like they each did a week. Yeah, you know, like Max did yeah, Max did a week of volleyball camp and Yes, oh my gosh, so cute. Do they lower the net for these kids? Well, here's the cute part Don't tell me there's no net No, there is, but he was so excited for volleyball camp And he had never played in his life, but it was something he was convinced was his new passion And he shows up Stephanie drops him off and Well the rest of the class was 12 13 year old girls with the ice coffee and hair down to their waist and wearing ugboots What? He scoffed it quite a departure And um, yeah, Stephanie was like how how is um because she was like, oh my god I see it's like young girls are showing up, but um because it's like one of those like age Age nine to 13 and then something. I don't really. Yeah. Yeah. It was all all girls Well, I guess there's one little boy that was his age, but um She was like and you'd have to know him, but she was like, uh, how is uh volleyball camp and he goes Well, I um ate my lunch and a whole I dug Yeah, yeah, oh my god So, um, yeah, and then Matt Finn has been going to baseball camp this week. I mean, I'm sorry basketball And um, yeah, but uh, it's good. That's really good. I love what the things kids say That like all of this interest of volleyball and then it's like well, I ate my whole my I ate my lunch and a whole I dug Okay, good Oh my god, I'm picturing him digging that hole and then settling in there Yeah, do you think that the two of them like because you and Stephanie are both funny, but you have A different sense of humor in certain ways so that your boys pick up on one of y'all's styles yet. Yeah I mean max is very dry. Okay. He's very dry, but intentionally Yeah, he's trying to be funny, but he's dry. Okay, and he is funny. Yeah, and he wasn't trying to be funny about his lunch that he ate in the hole that he dug Um, that's just his personality Um, but yeah, he's very very dry and I talk on stage about how he was born 60 years old. Yes You know, um, just like when he talks and he's not being funny, he he's just It he just his delivery is just it's just so it it's accidentally funny, you know, yeah, and then when he's being funny It's it's the delivery is really there. That's good Um, like today when I was walking through the dining room, there's this box with um An award I had gotten for Star Trek and um, and he was like hey mayor or no Was it oh yeah, yeah max. He goes hey mayor. What what's in this box? And I said um, oh just an award. I won and he goes Oh, yeah, no big deal.

I said something like Oh, forgot I have a show tonight and uh, and then he goes That's so funny. He was like you're saying oh, I forgot I have a show tonight And then there's people that like bought tickets and they're excited to go to your show and you're like oh, I forgot I have a show tonight You know, so like the thought that he like he imagined both sides of that And it's not that I wasn't looking forward to my show. I mean obviously I forgot but yeah, that done that happened during your day You'll be like oh good. I have a show tonight For sure And so he was teasing me about how casual I was about that and he was like there's people that like bought tickets and they're excited to see you And you're like oh, I forgot I have a show tonight.

I don't think I can handle the puppy, but. - The puppy stage is tough. - Yeah, sure. - And is Honey beyond that? Is two beyond the puppy stage? - She's like a puppy energy, but she is. - It's way better. - Biting and stuff. - God, she's so cute. - Look at her, where was she the dog is that? - Yeah, I can't. - Oh, that's your mix. - What? - She's a terrier mix. - A terrier, she is a real dog. - Like, she's clashing down like a mix. - I can see the terrier, but I see something else in there. - Yeah, I was like, I can see her face. - Yeah, the face, it does not match the terrier, but the body does. - Well, what a sweet little pup. - I would love to see that dog. - I have a little treat for all of our lesbian watchers. - Maybe you should start with a goldfish, May. - Yep. - Yeah, maybe, maybe you're right. I think you should find a friend to share a dog with. - Yeah, yeah, I could do, I'd love to do that. - I know you got a lot of love to share. I mean, give or whatever. - So much. - Yeah, I saw some elk in Bant, big, beautiful elk. - To give a hug to kisses. - No, they can charge you, they're very aggressive. But then I went on a bike ride. You can rent a bike, and I went way deep into the woods. Like, oh no, it was just me and the forest. And I could hear like my heart beating. - Oh, come on. - Are there a lot of bears around there? - Well, I see a pile of poo, like fresh bear poo in the middle of the road. I was convinced it was bear poo. And so I pick up the pace on my bike and I get back. And then they said, oh yeah, there's someone saw a bear today, just around there. He's called the boss, he's 700 pounds. And he had a tracker on him, he ate it off. I was like, why didn't the hotel tell me that? When I had a hundred pound bear. - That's like, ow. - Yeah. - When I rented the bike, no one warned me. Yeah. - Well, I mean, I think it's just common knowledge that that area is full of bears. - Don't make me feel bad about them sounds. - I'm sorry. - Yeah. - Going deep on by myself. - I think it's famously known for bears, but whatever. - There were so many average bears. - A lot of nose. (laughing) (upbeat music) If you go on a bike ride there, I believe bear spray is a must, but it's four little bears. We don't want to do that. I just leave a bee. - Leave a bee. - Should we get to our question? - Hey bear. - Let's do it. - Hey bear. - Hey bear. - Well, you guys, this is a treat. - Literally. - Today's question asker is a chef and TV host who won season 10 of top chef and went on to host the show herself. She's gone on to host other shows like fast foodies and iron chef quest for an iron legend. Her memoir accidentally on purpose is a New York Times bestseller. - Kristen Kish is asking today's question. - By the way, Kristen is a bad ass. I have done two shows with Kristen now. I did fast foodies where they take, they would take your favorite fast food dishes and make it like chef, the chef version of it, which was like incredible. - That's awesome. That's an actual like long running TV show or it was just like an episode. - I don't think it do anything more. It was right. It was in COVID times. - Okay. - I think Panda Express was one of my fast food choices and they did like their version of it, which was like unbelievable. And then I recently did an episode of celebrity top chef and it was, I was a judge with kids. But I was like, you know, I love food and I love like really like, I'm a foodie food. - Yeah. - And I was so pumped. I was like, oh my god, I get to be on top chef. I'm gonna eat this incredible food. Like these chefs are like blow my mind and then they were like, you're gonna be judging with kids and I was like, oh, I'm gonna be eating pizza and ice cream sundae, it was so fun. But I didn't affect you pizza and ice cream sundae. - But Chris was on his last day. - She was also on traders and was a very smart player on there. - Yeah, she was, yeah. - I would lose. I don't even know how to play traders. - I would lose so bad. - Any game, I'm like, I don't get what's happening, I just want to go home. If I had to be the trader, it would kill me. - Kill me. - I feel like if someone looked to you in the eye and said, fortune. - Yeah, I would be like, okay. - Yeah. - It would be the end of my career because it would show such a dark side of me. - No, fortune wouldn't say yes. Fortune would be like, oh no, oh no, oh no. What would I say? I don't even know. - I would be like, I don't want to be here. The food's terrible. I want to go home. - You'd be like, now, am I not supposed to say, if I'm a trader, here would, your interview would be like, they would interview you and I would like to talk crap about people and you'd be like, who cares? What are we doing here? - I don't see who wouldn't know who any of the people were, but I don't even know who she is. - The real hustle. - Yeah. - Now wait, was I, should I have said that I, that's exactly, I don't even, again, I don't know how the game works, but I know I would be trying to understand because Stephanie called me today on her way home to ask me about these different options and redoing our house. And I was like, you know what, can we, when you get home, can we sit down? Like I can't even, I can't track any of this right now. Like we have to say this is the option. Then this is the option. Then if we don't do that, or just like, I can't just take it all in quickly and go, oh yeah, let's do that one thing, you know? - The traders have to choose someone to murder in the night and I feel like you'd be choosing yourself. You'd be like, oh man, get me out of here. - That's like as a kid, I told you, I'd write an F at the top of my test and just slide it on the desk and put my head down. I would just grade my own thing. - Did I tell you that? - I don't think so, that's so bad of us. - Oh my God, yeah, I was like, I'll save in this. - Yeah, here it's enough, oh my God. - Good night, I'm out. - All right, let's hear the question. - Yeah, Kristen, apologies. - Hello handsome pod. It's me, Kristen Kish, your unofficial resident chef of your podcast, whether you like it or not. Fortunately I go way back. So hello again, Tegan May. I look forward to meeting you in person one day. I am so honored and thrilled to be asked to ask you all a question. And my question is, what food opinion instantly makes you distrust a person? I really think about it. - Oh, I thought I didn't have an answer, but I do. - Are you zoos? - Oh, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm going to, this is breaking news. - Oh, shit. Bam, bam, bam, bam. That's my breaking news. - That's really good song through. - I am a vegan person. - No. - Okay, that's the breaking news. - Yeah, we definitely did not know this. - And hear me out, I am. And I think that when people have an opinion about it and about how I eat or what I eat, or is it like a really strong one? - Yeah, yeah, but like where they really think they know what it is or that you can't get enough protein and all of that kind of stuff. I'm like a snooze fast. - Yeah, it's like, it's a red flag about a personality that they would assume that you haven't done some research. - Right. - And that you don't know. - Yeah. And it's also like, if you want to eat meat and dairy, you should just eat meat and dairy, but you can get protein from chickpeas and lentils and, you know, tofu. And maybe that doesn't sound good to you and that's fine, but people are convinced or they come in real heavy with the I can't get protein on that diet and it's just not it's just not true. Yeah, it's it's provably untrue Yeah, it's provably untrue So that's when sometimes I'm like Who's the fire alarm is going off? Oh my god Oh my god, I was with this episode fortune get up and go see if if anything is I thought that was my house Because oh my god. May is this causing you great. But wait, fortune fortune No, yeah, go check out what's going on? What for you on Okay, you'll be fine. Put it out the door you guys chat among yourself Oh, did it stop or she just know she muted it. Oh my god That was crazy on with fire today, but that's weird Yeah, and also you need fire to cook as a chef. So this is all tying in together Yeah, I feel like when you hear a fire alarm you got to get a move in and just make sure very chill about that Yeah, I cannot be chill you gotta go Park was being very chill about the fire near me, and I was like it They spread so fast like so fat. I'm gonna send you a video of Of the fire. Okay. This was during my massage. So I missed it But this is there I sent it so this will show you fortunes back. Oh my god. This is that's your house Wait, what's intense? I'm back. You'll may just shared a video of their house on fire. No, and it is Whatever whoa, that's a lot more smoking I realized that's what we're all saying also dang that could have been real bad May I know of this tying in plus You're saying that the people will maze back of the house on fire Europe your hotel just went up in flames And then we have a chef who is asking us a question and that ties into the unhown the unhoused people cooking behind your house Oh my god, yeah, what is going on chefs use fire to cook I didn't see this coming so full circle I know look at this alarm stop so I'm assuming it was a false alarm or else it would still be going I think it was this is like my fifth time in a hotel where the alarm's gone off whenever I hear a fire alarm I think it's a teenager trying to get out of an exam Well, it's most every time I've been in one everyone kind of like weights it out in the room for a while And then they start kind of poking their head out the door. Yeah, is this for real? Yeah, um, I've had I've had them go off at like Three in the morning at hotels. That's the war So and they make you go outside and everyone's in their little PJs Yeah, well, I just want to tell people don't set anything on fire to get out of an exam Just no great your own paper and put an F and then you are out of your exam. I Thought my unpot my food depending that makes me not trust people is kind of like the other side of the coin of yours Take which is like when when people claim to really not like any fast food and I'm like have you there's a fire truck Fortune there's a fire truck. This is outrageous You guys continue. There's nothing to see you're like the world's worst detective. You're the fire alarm went off and then a fire truck It's coming and you're like enough probably so now as the as violence play like the titanic Everyone it's fine. Join the music. That's crazy. Sorry mate. I didn't mean for that fire the fire happening around me to Enrope to you. Well, you should probably look and see if there's any Hansen fireman. I think I'm good. No, we're under contract. We need to keep you safe. Yeah I have to make sure this gets on Hulu. Yeah, we're under contract with head gum and Hulu. Okay. No, I was saying that I don't trust when people Claim to not like any fast food like if you're like, you know, what's the what are the best fries? Like is it McDonald's Burger King in and out and if people are like I don't like any fast food I'm like it's okay to say, you know, you're you're trying not to eat them or whatever, but yeah, yeah You know, that's good. Like that tastes good. Like right. It's like people saying they don't like the Beatles I'm like you're just trying to be kind of well fortune's not crazy about him You don't dislike them. You just are not in dislike home. I don't want people to say I don't like but I'm not like Dying over on like you guys. Yeah, that's fine. It's just when people don't acknowledge the contribution to music Oh, huge contribution for sure then only you're just being conscious. Now I do want to Be difficult with you for a second May hit me. Oh, because you really don't like fast food. Well, no I'm not I'm not saying that I just haven't had it in a long time aside from Chipotle or something like that and and your taste buds really do change yeah, and that is a real thing that is a very real thing and sometimes I think a lot of those french fries and stuff are cooked in like beef oil and what have you right? So there could be that yeah, there are fast food I remember a fast food that I liked and it doesn't even have to be like the big chains But people who are like I don't yeah, I just you know, they just want top Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Top chef, but it is true like my mom every birthday. She's like, you know what? I just want McDonald's on my birthday. I'm gonna treat myself. I never have McDonald's and she's always Disappointed because if you never eat McDonald's and you forget that a there's a huge Range depending on the location and stuff. Yeah, there's some in Toronto that are like I've made a wood and then yeah and every time still like with I remember being at a party and there was like a vegan platter of cheese yeah, and and I was eating it and I turned to this woman Next me and I go oh my god This is so delicious. I can't remember what kind of cheese what flavor it was but or name and I said you have to try this and She took a bite and she is how long have you been vegan and I was like at like a decade almost a decade and she's like This tastes nothing And so that's that that idea like your taste buds totally change and like if you eat healthy for like a month right certain Stuff that like comfort food doesn't even we used to always eat even though it was vegan. We would eat The vegan mac and cheese when Max and Finn were like three and they were really into that and we ate it all the time I think Thomas even did And but then they grew out of that and and then we cooked it for some reason recently and when I ate it It was the most disgusting thing and I couldn't believe our family kind of lived off of that for a year. Yeah I had that with rice Aroni. You remember rice Aroni? Of course I do. Yeah, like yeah, so delicious What a decadent treat and then I I tried it as an adult and was like It is disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting when that happens What about you fortune? Well, this is this goes down to a palette thing too because Ticket argue that like you your palette changes So this happens because you've been eating healthier But I these people that eat a dessert take one bite of a dessert and they're like, it's too rich It's too rich I can't just know I'm like bitch. Yeah, it's a dessert. That's what it's supposed to be doing for us. Yeah And that is it is decadent for a reason it's job. It's a treat. Yeah, I'm lucky there get on it Yeah, but I do understand some people are really healthy and so that is very sweet to them But but they proclaim it to everyone like it's too rich. I can't You're like all right. Well, I like sweet and I like rich, but um when I have birthday cake I need or even cupcakes. I just need a little bit less frosting on this in my in my the awful one too I just because I I love I like the cake bit. Yes, I love all of it, but I just like a hint of icing Yeah, well with cupcakes, you know, they go heavy on the top. I like to the to to your point Sometimes I'll take the bottom of the cupcake and put it on the top. Yeah, so it's more evened out Get not wanting too much icing on a bug. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for understanding I also don't love when people and my mom's guilty of this, but at this age it's not changing The this isn't necessarily a food opinion, but people that won't even try something They just decided they don't like it. Yeah, yeah, and I'm like, but you have no clue Yeah, and it's not even something that necessarily I can understand certain things that look weird uh-huh, you know quote-unquote where you're like I don't know like like uni doesn't that isn't that the like yellow tongue-looking like thing. Yeah, right? It's seriously. I understand something like that me like um not for me But there's so many dishes that just like sips people will just be like I just know I'm not gonna like it And you're like you don't know that. Yeah, really don't know that just from looking at it. So I like when people, my palate has evolved tremendously over the years I've been growing up in small town with Carolina. I wouldn't eat onions or tomatoes or anything. I don't know what, but that's not even weird, but as I got older, I would allow myself to just try it. You might like it. And then I would surprise myself and like, oh, this is actually amazing. - Yeah. - And if you don't like it, you can just take a swig of water and move on. - Right. - I don't know if this is a quote from something, but my dad used to always say, he like talks to himself and he would always go, try it, you like it. And then you go, so I tried it. I thought I was gonna die. Was that from something? Or did he just make? - I think it's just from your dad. - So I tried it. - I thought I was gonna die. - Well, Max and Finn at school, it's called a no thank you bite. Have you heard that? - No, I liked that though. What is that? - Yeah, just try it, no thank you bite. - Right. - Have a bite. - Then you're allowed to say no thank you. But don't just say, huh, huh. - That's really good. - I also love when people will take a bite of something and it's terrible and they're like, this is awful, it tastes this. - Oh yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - You're like, why do I? Why do you want to put me through that too? - Oh my God, you guys. - Oh, this is so bad. You have to please try this. - I have the epitome of that. And I, as you can imagine, like this is classic me, okay? I was at one of the Oscar events and it was like a daytime brunch and I was so much wanting a nice espresso drink. And so I didn't know, but the manager overheard me and they didn't offer it. But he said, you know what? I'll go in the kitchen and have somebody to make you an espresso. I wanted a cappuccino and so he brings it out and I was like, thank you so, it was so nice that he did this. And so I was very thankful, I took a sip. It was the most disgusting cappuccino I had ever had in my life and I did that. I turned to everybody around me. I was like, please take a sip of this and it first started out as a real thing or I was like, you, it is, like you cannot believe that this is a cappuccino. And so a couple of people from our film took sips and then I went wide with it. And this cup, - Oh my God. - No, he wasn't there, he had already walked off. This became, let us see how many people we can get and the cup, as I would bring it to somebody and I'd be like, take a sip and it would have lipstick marks all over. And they were like, how many people have tasted this? I'm like, literally 12. Please be the next one. And they could not believe how disgusting it was that they would join in being like, dude, you have to try this cappuccino. - I was like, he did do it. - I have no, this was like, this was, you know how you talk about the horrible, you know it's a bad coffee shop, if there's a lot of flavor jars of flavors in the background. This was like 10 steps lower and it was at a nice place in Los Angeles. I don't know what happened. - Burnt and sour and. - It was at whatever it was, it was so bad. But it was, I cannot say I'm exaggerating when I think it got to 15 to 20 people and it became this joke where everybody was in and they were like, okay, I'll do it. And then like, wait, I gotta get my friend to taste it. Man, taste it. Everybody's tasted this disgusting. And but yeah, the guy, the manager, he wasn't anywhere near us. - That's so validating that everybody agreed though. - It was, but it was also so fun and funny that everyone got on board with tasting this disgusting coffee that had lipstick marks all around the thing. - It was probably a mix of sour espresso with like expired soy milk. - You saw that? - Yeah, I don't know what it was. - No, no, no, no, it wasn't, I think it was almond milk. It wasn't that. It was truly, I just had some sour espresso before we taped 'cause all the coffee shops here close at like three. And so the hotel had, I got espresso and I'm like, isn't it infuriating when you made a bad coffee? - Yeah, you know. - It's a coffee snore. - When I was in Portland, Maine I went to have dinner on a boat. And I didn't know I'd picked like a really touristy place. I think I told this actually, but I showed up and I'd made a reservation as 8.30. I got there, they go, we're closing soon. So, and I was like, well, but I made a reservation. There's five of us. And then we said, they're like, okay, well, yep. And then we get the menus and we order. And then she brings out a vacuum cleaner, starts vacuuming around us, around our feet. - Oh my gosh. - You like, you offered this reservation time. - Is this the Portland Maine fire episode? - Yeah, yeah. - And then I said, I said, what's good on the menu? Do you have any specials? She goes, well, there's these, the chef does these Brussels sprouts, they are divisive. You're gonna love them or hate them. - Devices. - I was like, okay, we've all got those. - Yeah, and what, how'd you feel? - They were pretty nasty. - They were pretty good. - You know what, my aunt in Austin, she, when she, she's so against veganism, and she's so funny about it. 'Cause I'll, I'll, you know, send a little spoon her way. And she does this every time. (laughing) - That's cute. (laughing) - Disgusting. - Oh my God. - Disgusting. - Yeah, I love food. I love good food. - I like it too. - It makes me so happy. - Same. - I'm curious to hear. - Christmas answer. - Christmas answer. - Yeah. - Yeah, chef. Yeah, this is juicy. - I have a very passionate answer. It's the food opinion, but it's the food opinion that also comes with a reaction, like a physical reaction. So it is the people that don't like mayonnaise. And when you say, what food do you really hit? Oh, mayonnaise. And then they start immediately dry hitting mayonnaise. (laughing) Like they can't even get the word mayonnaise out of their mouth without barfing through it. How old are you? How old are you? Children react more mature. - Yeah. - No, mayonnaise. - Manays is delicious. It's a vehicle. It's fat. It's where browning things. On the outside of a groceries. - Yum. - You know, smothered in a salad. I'm from the Midwest. We call mayonnaise things salads. It is delicious. It's oil and eggs. And then sometimes maybe a little acid and some salt and some different things. Also, the people that say, I don't like mayonnaise, but they love it only. Come on, give me a break. Those are the same people on Yelp that give you a horrible review because they didn't like the way the menu looked. I don't know. (laughing) Unknown merit, basically. - Yeah, but Chris, okay. Just to play doubles advocate. Chris is probably making this delicious mayonnaise homemade fresh. Like, the little packets of mayonnaise can be pretty. They can be pretty bad. - You know, I know. - I wouldn't like that. - Manays, I would never gag like that. But I'm not a huge mayonnaise person. But I bet Kristen's mayonnaise I would love. - Okay, you're going to hate this. - Yeah. - My friend David Huntsberger, he was challenged to eat an entire jar of mayonnaise. Onstage at the comedy club in Austin. - Oh. - And he did it. - He did it. - That's the same. - He did it. Don't you come down hard on my little boy. - I like Huntsberger. - I could eat a whole jar of it. - Well, he wasn't looking forward to it, but could he get anything for this? Well, I got to tell the story on handsome. - Who challenged him, the audience? - I think another comedian, probably. It was a long time ago. But-- - He's really funny, David Huntsberger. - Yeah, he is. He's a good guy. - And a whole jar, whoa. - Yeah, that's cool. - Oh, jeez. - Oh, jeez. - Oh, tig, I am really taken in and it was a whole jar. - A whole jar. - Yeah, that was delightful. Kristen's the best. What a badass in the food world. - Yeah, she seems really cool. - Yeah, really, really cool. - Nice, thanks for joining us, Kristen. - Go lesbians, we love lesbians. Everyone loves lesbians. - Oh my gosh. - You're gorgeous. That was so beautiful. - So pure lesbians. - Wait, did you know Bjork has a girlfriend? - No. - She just didn't have a lesbian. - Or, yeah, Bjork has a lesbian? - I think the girlfriend did a post that was like, I love my girlfriend and it was a picture. - Bjork's like, are you talking about me? - Yeah. - Straight women call their friends, their girlfriends. - No, this is not a straight woman though. - Okay. - Well, congrats to you, Bjork. - Yes. - You can catch me, Tignotaro, in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Pikes Peak Center on July 16th.
