Pretty little episode. Welcome to a pretty little episode. I feel like my voice got quite vulnerable and quivery there. Welcome, welcome to a pretty little episode. I'm one of your handsome hosts, Mae Martin.
I'm another handsome host, Fortune Feimster. You know what? We're so excited to be doing this. What were you going to say, Mae? I was just going to say, you know, I'm on testosterone still. my voice is so much higher than my co-stars like the woman playing anyone and there's even like teenage girls in the show who are like hey what's up and i'm like hello good morning i like your voice thank you i like your voice
But you want it to be a little deeper? Maybe a little, but I think I don't have a clear, I think I don't see or hear myself very accurately. Right, the same. Really? Because in my mind, I'm like... and i don't think i'm like that you definitely don't sound like that at all yeah i know that i have a southern accent but i can't hear it
And then when I listen to myself on like a stand-up clip or something, I'm like, wow, that is a thick accent. That's so funny. But I can't really hear it myself. Like just then you couldn't hear it? Not really. To me, I think I sound like middle America. Right, right. Totally middle ground. And then, yeah, it definitely is not that. It probably gets a little stronger.
when you're on stage too like i think so do you think i sound canadian yeah you have certain words that definitely are canadian like sorry oh man that's i've probably talked about this already but i i only remembered halfway through the shoot of this show I'm filming that my character is from Detroit and I've been saying sorry the whole time I've been saying sorry and sorry sorry and I've been adding the word to
lines it's not even in just apologizing so much truth be told if you told me right now do a detroit accent i wouldn't really know even though my wife is from technically michigan okay to me detroit is a different accent than other parts of Michigan. Yeah, isn't it? And so I wouldn't know what accent to do. Is it like eight mile? I mean, all I know is they would say sorry. How do you say sorry? How do you say? i say sorry sorry sorry sorry so it has more of an a sound to it then i swoop
Sorry. But Jax is Michigan, so she'll say like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Okay, watch me throw in a few oh, my God. But I don't think people in Detroit sound like that. So see, that's where it's tricky. Yeah. Hers is like a different part of Michigan kind of thing. And she only has certain words she says like that. I mean, people even have like within their families, they develop their own unique accent. Well, I grew up 30 minutes.
20 to 30 minutes from Charlotte, depending on what side of Charlotte. No one from Charlotte sounds anything like the people in my hometown. That's so wild. It's really crazy. We're separated by a bridge. That's crazy. And that's it. And are you, is your hometown super like, not patriotic, but like town proud? I mean, anyone that's from Belmont is like.
They're not embarrassed of it. They're like, I'm from Belmont. Yeah. But they're not like, you know. Belmont rules. Charlotte rules. Belmont. Strong. Belmont pride. No, but they're like, yeah, I'm from Belmont. Yeah. It's a source of. Pride, I guess, for themselves, but they're not overboard. Wait, we haven't introduced what this episode is. I forgot. If you're listening for the first time, this is a pretty little episode where you send in your questions and we answer them.
That's right. Because we had so many lovely listeners who would listen to the podcast and they would chime in on things that we were answering from... from our guests on the reg or they were sending us questions on the Instagram and we were like, you know what? We would love to be answering our listeners' questions on a podcast. I love to hear it. I'm so curious about what people, yeah, what they want to hear from us. Yeah.
Well, this is our chance, May. You want to hear a question? Yeah, desperate to. I'm desperate to. Hello, handsome. My name is Amy. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. And my question for you is if there was a perfect food item and beverage combination that described who you are. described yourself perfectly, what would that be and why? God, that's good. That is...
One of my favorite questions. Food and beverage combo. Is it? I don't know why. I was just thinking about food because you're eating pads to you. I am eating pads to you. Thanks for blowing up my spot. Well, you're not, you're not, you're eating it at appropriate times. You're not like over here smacking your lips. Yeah. But you showed me a little peek of it and I've never been more jealous in my life. It looks so good. I love it. Like it's a shrimp and vegetable pasta.
to you oh i love thai food we talked really on in our podcast about i could if i had to be on the run i could do it in thailand and it really is because of the food yeah oh man I love it and I think I've talked about how I'm embarrassed whenever people ask my favorite food I have to say like shrimp dumplings or shrimp spring rolls or things like that because it just
A, the word sounds gross to say, shrimp. Shrimp. It's just gross. It's just, yeah. But okay, a food and beverage combo that really sums you up or, yeah. Okay, that's really, I want to get this right. I just, it tickles me, that question. I had a friend in college actually answer this question for me. No. Yeah. And I thought, what made her think of this? If I guess it.
Oh, yeah. Guess what it is. Will you freak out if I guess it right? I will be so impressed. It's hard because there's a lot of food and there's a lot of drinks out there. Yeah, but I'm thinking if it's something she just volunteered out of nowhere, then it's probably something iconic. I don't know. Okay. One I think is pretty iconic and one's pretty run-of-the-mill. Okay. One's simple and one's got some pizzazz.
Which I guess is me. I was going to say a cold glass of milk and a chocolate chip cookie. That could work. That wasn't what she said, but that could work. Joyful. I feel like I'm sweet. Sweet. and dependable there's a sort of nostalgia even to yeah but okay okay did uh an aperol spritz and a hot dog Those are just two foods I really like. Yeah, yeah. That don't go particularly well together. But that's not bad. Both of those are very solid guesses, May. Okay, what did she say?
She said if I could compare you to any sandwich, it would be a chicken sandwich. A chicken sandwich? But she didn't say why. I think it was just because I love chicken sandwiches. I've had people be like, what are you eating? And I'm like a chicken sandwich. They're like, why?
And I'm like, they're delicious. They're delicious. I love chicken between bread is the way to go. I don't know if she said that because I'm Southern. You know, we like fried chicken. And did she say sandwiches? Did she say a drink as well? She did say drink. She said, if I could compare you to any drink. Okay, this woman is in love with you. She keeps being like, let me compare you to a summer day. This was years ago. Okay. In college.
And she said you would be a Shirley Temple. That's true. That is 100% true. Right? But you look like Shirley Temple. I think that's part of it, yeah. I look like, if you saw a picture of me as a child. I look just like Shirley Temple. Oh, my God. Shirley Temple. Probably didn't have the personality yet that she had. It took me a while to work on that. You were just like, hi. Hi. Do I really have to be in this dress? A Shirley Temple and a chicken sandwich. I'm like, get me out of this dress.
But I had the blonde curls. But yeah, I love Shirley Temples. I don't drink them often. Sprite just came out with a Shirley Temple mix. Really? In a can. No way. There's a kid on TikTok who goes around reviewing the best Shirley Temples and he's like, this one is great. It's a little bit tart and a little sweet as well. I would think that they were pretty similar everywhere, but good for him.
Every time I have a chicken sandwich now, I'm going to think about you. That is so good. That's me, bud. What about you? Well, I'm open to thoughts, obviously, or input. Let's see. I'm tempted to say something cool, but I'm like, the reality is probably like, you know, I don't know, like a sachet of soy sauce. You would be something that both men and women like to eat. Oh, interesting. And you think a chicken sandwich is more of a gendered food?
Oh, no. The chicken sandwich is just predictable, simple. Okay. I think I feel like a beef Wellington. Whoa. That was out of left field. I am. Flattered? Beef Wellington. I was going to say something. Because it's like a nice cut of meat, but it's wrapped in a crust. And it's also popular in London. Oh, I like that as a logic. I mean, fuck, why am I finding this so hard? I'm like, I'm taking it too seriously. I got to just take a, take a punt.
Well, I'm just thinking about the best combination of foods I've had. Not that I think I'm the best, but the best thing was a... chicken souvlaki in Greece that was like in a fresh baguette and it had just been grilled and like nothing on it except lemon and salt and pepper and some oregano they put it in a fresh baguette and then
give you a mythos beer, which is not a good beer, but it's so hot outside and that beer is so cold and it's, and you're in Greece. Yeah. Like that's, that's one of my happiest food memories. So I guess that's where I'm going. I want to be that. That's you out in the grease sun with your shirt off. Yeah. Back in the day, I did it. When I look at old family photos, I'm like shirtless until I was like too old to be shirtless.
I did get upset when I played soccer and they would split us up into shirts and skins. Oh, that's so... I've never heard that. Shirts and skins. Oh, really? Yeah. So yeah, when you played soccer, we didn't have different colored... jerseys to distinguish who's on what team so one team would keep their shirts on shirts and the other team would take their shirts off skins and so I would always have to be on the shirts Because as a girl, they told me I had to...
keep my shirt on and i was like what i want to be on that team well my buds are on that but that is it wouldn't have been great they really saved me from myself nobody needed me running around but that also sounds like lord of the flies me just like some of the kids just take their shorts off because they don't have 80s you know everything we were drinking out of a spigot i mean i just today not to okay you're gonna
Okay, not to talk about my driver, Joe, again, but I will say. Why would we not, May? Why would we not? I said something like about a cast member who's 14. I go, you know, he's 14, this cast member. And Joe goes, hmm. There's always a long pause. And then he goes, when I was 14.
When I was 14, I hitchhiked down to Toronto and was picking tobacco at a tobacco farm. And I made $50 a day. I made enough to buy my own car and drive home. I was like, what is your life? $50 a day back then, that's pretty good. 14. You're picking tobacco? Joe's lived a life. Dude, I haven't even scratched the surface. He worked in a uranium mine for two years. Oh, of course he did. Yeah, and a couple guys got flat and flat as a pancake, he said. And he glows.
at night. Probably. He's like back when I was a sea captain. Some people just know they can save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first.

Hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. This content is intended for audiences in the U.S. only. Savings vary. Terms apply. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. All right. Should we listen to the, oh, I want to hear the answer. Yeah. I wish maybe she'll tell us who we are, like what we are. Maybe. Tig would be a salad or some kind of vegetable. Should we have falafel ball? A handful of nuts and tap water. Tap water.
For me, I think that the perfect food and beverage combination that would sort of describe my personality is a corned beef Reuben sandwich with fries. And a dirty gin martini. I think that that's just I'm a little bit dry. I'm a little bit salty. And I just I just really love those food items. All right. Thanks so much. I love the pod. I think we're all just naming.
food and drinks we like i know it's like it's also it's kind of aspirational too we're saying like what we want to be like i'm there's no way i'm a beer and a souvlaki i'm definitely like a weird little noodle and uh you know, but that's what I like about this podcast. I would never think of this, you know, this question, you better believe I'm pondering life in this way. So this really pulls it out of me.
You got to ask Jax in your next sort of. Okay. I will. And I want to know what she thinks you would be as well. Yeah. Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. I'll ask. Both of those things. You better believe I'm going to be busting these out, these questions. Better believe it. Yeah. Should we listen to another question? Yeah. All right. Hey, handsome pod. My name is Sam. I'm calling in from San Francisco, and I'm a huge fan of the podcast.
My question is, have you ever had a strange amount of things in common with someone? Similarities that you weren't expecting or didn't see coming or just weird coincidences? Were the similarities and who was the person you had things in common with? Hmm. Hmm. I've never thought about this. Yeah, that's a great question. I mean, I definitely have had the feeling of having known.
some like met someone and there's like instant familiarity and but I don't know if that was because we had specific things in common it was more just like our souls have met uh-huh you know what I mean I'm working right now with someone who, because I've been working in England for 12 years and then in LA, and this is the first time I've worked in Canada in a long time. And my co-star is my exact same age and from Toronto.
there's a real reference like yeah very niche references like we're like remember the royal winter fair where kiwanis would go and tour and then you could yeah and it's really niche and fun oh that's cool Or the other day, there was this guy on one of the grips. He's like, I was like, have I met you before? He's like, Dan. I was like, Dan what? He's like, Dan Stanit. I was like, Dan Stanit. Yeah, I've just partied. I was like, oh, I know you.
like we've been at tons of the same parties yeah it's a small town even though it's a big city i bet things in common because are you and you and jacks are kind of like opposites attract almost right I was just thinking that like we are opposite in a number of ways. I'm definitely like more go with the flow and chill and she's a little bit more rigid.
but we both are the we're the same age so we have a lot of reference points that line up and our morals are very similar families like you know grew up methodist and um just have similar like family stories. And so she and I always want to spend time the same way. We're very simpatico with like what we think is fun and what we don't think is fun.
and how we want to pass the time like that lines up super what like really really well in a way i've not experienced with anybody else i love that that's crucial but you know am i leaving crumbs In places that's making her head explode, yes. Yeah. She's like, get a plate. Why are you eating that cheese? Just willy-nilly across the room. Crumbling as you go.
Let me live. Let me live. You know what I mean? I wonder if you guys knew each other in another life, though, and made a soul contract. I don't know. Maybe. I talk about these things as if... I never felt like strangers. Like their accepted fact. Did you make a soul contract? I will see you in the next life, milady. That's what she said to me. Yeah, because you were in Elizabethan England and you were like... Milady? Yeah.
But I know I've had friends in my lifetime that are like, we just laugh at similar things like our senses of humor, very simpatico and what we, the dark things we think. that are the same like you can like you know those friends that you can just like say things and you know they're they're gonna take it the exact way you're meaning for it to be taken yes yes i have a couple friends like that and i love that
Yeah, me too. The ones where you become a weirder version of yourself around, like a really unleashed version. Yeah, like I know my friend's going through this thing and I can say this thing to her.
in regards to that and she's anybody else would be horrified she's gonna think it's hysterical oh completely yeah yeah my friend joe who wrote uh feel good with me we're like we're like that like and it became almost a game of who could be more offensive and like it's really fun to have that outlet sometimes yeah yeah just the yeah just the like silly
ridiculous versions of yourself with people yeah also people you could i this is a controversy but like a friend who you can fart in front of and that is a punchline to things that's all right i've never had that before and joe was my first friend Your fart friend. Fart friend. And it was such a release because I never fart around partners or anything. It was a real release of gas I'd been storing up for decades. Yeah. I love it.
Let's hear what our fart friend had to say. Yeah. So my answer is actually nay, which is why I wanted to ask this question. Other than the gender presentation and sexuality parallels that are so cool to see represented in media for what feels like the first time, Feel Good is one of my absolute favorite shows. probably always will be um three things the three weird parallels that make me laugh is
One, we're both allergic to coconut, a particular allergy. Two, my middle name is May, M-A-E. And three, I am also a full-grown adult who... Cannot drive. Never got my license. Y'all are twins. Fun little similarities with one of my heroes. I love all y'all. Funny as hell. Keep it up. I love that. It's amazing. Sam. thing that's so cool the coconut allergy is just so validating for me whenever anyone has it because people doubt that it's real and when yeah so sam i feel you
I'm your comrade. I see you. I hear you. I miss you from the time we were in the womb together. I miss you from... Old and timey England where we made the sole contract. That's what you said to Sam. And we were like, well, we'll see. Yeah. What was the other thing Sam said? Oh, can't drive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that they can't drive.
I don't think we should ever learn, Sam. Yeah, don't do it. Well, thank you so much for saying those nice things as well. Thank you to everybody who sent in a question. What a treat to answer these questions, Mae.
Like a Shirley Temple and a chicken sandwich. I have been thinking since that question that maybe I am more like... chocolate chip cookies and milk for some reason when i picture it it's in the 90s it's christmas eve and it's a crisp cold yeah and you get presents as a result of them yeah Although the only thing about the milk is that not as many people are drinking milk right now. I'm glad you brought this up. I don't want to be like only a couple of people like to drink me.
Yeah, maybe we could add a clause that's like, Santa Claus, am I right? That's like, it could be almond milk or like if TIG. It's going to have to be an almond milk for TIG, right? Right, right. Or on bilk in the 80s when everyone loved it. Maybe that's why I wanted it to be the 90s because it was got milk. Yeah, yeah, got milk, big time milk drinkers back then.
Milk was so popular that they would put the faces of missing children on the cartons because they knew so many people would have this carton of milk in their kitchen and it was... A way to spread the word. That's how many people drink milk. Isn't that crazy? And they'd give it to you at school for lunch. They'd give it to you everywhere. And they had a thing in Canada where if you knew...
they said that some milk cartons and you opened it, it would go moo. And so there was actual recording devices in there. And if you did it, you won like, I don't know, a hundred grand or something. If you found the one and move. So everyone's like shaking their milk and trying to. find the one oh my god yeah never heard of such a thing but that would get people to drink milk for sure so all right so your 80s or 90s milk
