This is a HeadGum Podcast. Pretty Little Episode. Hi! Welcome to the Handsome Pods. Pretty Little Episode. Yeah, I was excited to get in there, so sorry I... No, we're both so excited. T-boned you. Listen, I love a T-bone. How's it going, bud? It's going well. Yeah. Going well. You know, just trekking through Star Trek.
Trekking through it. You're going to get to come home for the holidays. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be home for like two and a half weeks, which is exciting. Yeah. You know, Santa and what have you. What are you doing? We're taking a little vacation. We're going to go to Aspen and then also just spend time chilling. Do you have friends or family in Aspen or are you just going?
The two of you? No, it's a group of friends that are going. Nice. Yeah, do that. We don't usually do big group trips, but why not? Are you going to ski? They're all skiing. I don't know. I'm not, I don't know how to ski. You've never skied? Not since I was 12 and I was going down the bunny slope and I slid right up onto another woman's skis. And she kept going, make a pizza, make a pizza. And I was like, I love pizza.
Did you not know what she was talking about? No. She's like, with your skis, make a pizza. And I slid right up on her. And I said, I don't know how to stop. She's like, clearly. Yeah. I just, yeah. When it comes to like skiing or like water, like water skiing, no skiing, wakeboarding and that kind of stuff. I'm not very coordinated. Yeah. Do you ski? I did. I used to. And then I transitioned to snowboarding. That's the cool one, isn't it?
I think so. I mean, I enjoyed skiing. And then as soon as I started snowboarding, I was like, what was I doing skiing? Also, skiing requires a lot of clothes and equipment. And I don't love that. Well, I mean, you have to wear clothes also when you're snowboarding. I'm clumping these in together. Okay, okay. I just mean like I want to be at the lodge drinking something.
Yeah. That's right. You know, speaking of having to use a lot of clothes, my friend and I years ago in Colorado, we decided to go skiing. do night skiing, which is really cheap, but we didn't have any ski. clothing or anything. And I had a box of, this was my really great idea, but a box of clothes I was going to donate. And so we put layers of my donation clothing on. And one of the things was a hospital gown.
Oh my gosh. And so I was flying down the mountain in a hospital gown on the outside. But yeah, I ultimately, you know, right on brand for me, I had a really bad snowboarding accident and hurt my back.
Oh no. Yeah. Yeah. So I haven't snowboarded since. Yeah. Someone just showed me a video of, I get, I didn't know that around trees there, there's like a. large space that can drop to like 25 feet they call there's a name for him i don't know and he showed me a video of a guy skiing and he kind of saw like a little
color kind of in the snow and he stopped and went back up and it's like a dude hanging in the snow that that like cavernous area but he was like almost covered in snow and he started digging them out and i'm like no thank you No, thank you. I've had that happen, not next to a tree, but like one of those electrical boxes in a neighborhood or something where snow accumulated around it. And I walked by there.
with my son and uh we both like dropped like dropped we dropped in and i was terrified but it was that like i had to pretend Like we weren't in a situation. Yeah. And. We. Yeah. It's like, oh, look at that. Now, how are we going to get out, Max? And and then it just turned into this. I was really scared. That would be very scary for sure. Yeah. This is why I stay away from snow for the most part. That's why you sit by the fire and you have your drink. Dang, I'm a pretty little lady.
I know you are, dear. I know you are. I'm looking right at you. But yeah, I love to sit in the lodge or in the condo or house or whatever and sit by the fire. Have a little chocolate. I was going to say chocolate milk, but hot chocolate. Yep. Do you prefer hot chocolate or do you prefer a certain.
cocktail in the cold do you have a cold cocktail i like an old-fashioned that's my main my main drink yeah um when it's cold i don't mind a little hot situation and then hot chocolate maybe like once or twice but it is drinking a cup of chocolate so I don't need that on the reg Yeah, it's like I feel like an infant when I'm drinking hot chocolate. I'm like, it feels silly, but, you know, it also feels good. I was filming.
this movie the other night and it started getting cold and they had a truck that had hot chocolate and I was like, Ooh, that sounds good. So I got some and I took like two sips. I'm like, this is a lot. It's just a lot of chocolate. Like, why am I doing this? Even our kids can't fit. We'll make them hot chocolate and they'll just have maybe.
five sips and then their hot chocolate just sits there. Yeah. Yeah. It's good in theory, but yeah, I'm excited. I mean, I'm looking forward to just having a chill holiday. Are you excited about Santa? I'm so excited about Santa. Well, we've never been actually home on Christmas. So I'm pretty pumped for that. I just ordered a pink for...
And a half foot Christmas, fake Christmas tree. Wow. It's fake? It's not real? Yeah, it's a fake pink tick. Now, was this inspired by your suit? No. From the special? I mean, but that is a good point. Maybe that was on my brain. Yeah, pretty little Christmas tree. Pretty little Christmas tree. Yeah, I did rock that pink suit and crushing it. You rocked it hard. Thank you. Yeah, I'm very happy right now. It was a crazy year as it's been for everybody and so busy and I'm so tired.
but it feels like worth it. You know what I mean? When you're like, oh, I'm so tired. Dropping at the finish line. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I was like crawling across it, writing the special. Now I'm just like, ah. I can breathe. Yeah, I crawled across the finish line last year and I've continued to crawl. I'm still crawling. We're crawling, but we're here. Yeah, we're here. We're queer and get used to it.
Should we start to get into this? See what's on everyone's minds? Let's do it. My name is Angela. I'm from Michigan. My friend Leah and I are obsessed with your podcast. My question to you three is, what is your favorite thing you have ever won? It could be an award. It could be a raffle prize. Whatever you wish. Oh, that's a good question. That is a good one. I feel like I don't win things. Like in raffles? Or awards. Like I've been nominated.
Not to be braggadocious, but numerous times. Never. I cannot. I can't win. I just can't do it. And so I'm just racking up. nominations yeah but um i can't take home the prize yeah and i remember when um stephanie was nominated for an emmy and people were like oh my god what if she wins and i was like That would be incredible if she won. I almost now don't want to win anything. I want to see how many things I can't win. I don't even think I win like.
teddy bears at at um at fairs not that i'm always at the fair but you know i feel like you you probably win things I have actually never been nominated for any of the major awards. I've got nominated twice for like a Critics' Choice, but I haven't even been nominated for the... like Emmys or Grammys or anything like that. So that's surprising. Now, what about teddy bears?
Teddy, well, one thing that did come to mind. More importantly. What about your fair situation? I have not been to a fair in a while, but for some reason this came right to my... No, again, when I first moved to LA, I went to, I got invited as a plus one to like a wrap party and they were raffling. They were, they gave you a raffle ticket when you walked in the door. And I was broke. And the big prize was a PlayStation. And I'm not like a big gamer, but the PlayStation also played DVDs.
Okay. And I won. And I'm sure everyone was like, who is this? You know, they're all celebrating, like finishing a show. And I was a plus one. And I'm like, I won. But that was like my DVD. I played games on it because I had no friends when I first moved to LA, except for the person that invited me to this party. That was my DVD player for like eight years. Wow. Yeah. And what was the wrap party of note or, um, is there any CSI shows? Yeah. Okay. I was like, who is this person?
Oh, that's cadaver number three. Well, that's a win. Yeah, I'll take it. Yeah. I mean, Thomas, I haven't won anything, have I, that you know of? You won that award from Mississippi. That was pretty cool. Oh, there you go. Yeah, what was that award? Like a governor's award or something like that. Okay, yeah. It was me. The governor's award. Thank you, governor. But I don't know that I won an award.
award i was just given an award you know what i mean like i wasn't competing against anybody i was just you get hands if you like i also got um give this to you yeah what was that irish award I was given, but I didn't win.

No. The sun will come out tomorrow. Oh my gosh.
Were you ever Little Orphan Annie? Because you could have done that. Surprisingly, I was not. And my hair is looking kind of red today. I don't know how that. You know what I would like to see is you as Little Orphan Annie now. Could we get that, please? In that red dress with the socks. I almost just called you Annie, but seriously, fortune. Thomas put that on the list. Fortune dresses.
that tomorrow we could all three be different people from different musicals you could be a little orphan annie i could be uh what's your name from uh funhouse Fun home. Fun home. Yeah, you could. Yeah. Just have your keys and a carabiner. Oh, you know what my son Max calls Daddy Warbucks? What? Daddy Wambach. He has it confused with Abby. With Abby? That's funny. So he's like, so when Daddy Wambach, and I told them that, and Glennon was like.
I'll start calling her Daddy Wambach. That's a funny name. Or she is a Daddy Wambach or something like that. Yeah. What's your musical? I have many, many, many. I love musicals. My favorite classic old school musical that you don't really see much anymore is 42nd Street. All the tap dancing. It's so big and cool and fun and just old school. Love, love, love. Yeah. More modern ones. I love. I did like Dear Evan Hansen a lot. I saw that. Once.
Was really good. Wicked, of course. Didn't see that. Book of Mormon is really funny. It's clever. Yeah. I could just go see shows all the time. But Jax hates musicals. My son Max loves musicals. He loves Newsies and he listens to the CD all the time. Yeah. My OG was Rent. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I used to, when I was in high school, I had that CD just constantly playing. Yeah. I loved it. Yeah, Max loves Rent as well. Stephanie is really into musicals.
yeah really into musicals and wicked has just kicked It all, Stephanie sent me the greatest video of herself just singing. She was like, I think I'm ready. Oh, I love it. You know, her debut on Broadway. And she was just singing her little heart out. Because I think it's that musicals like still. When a song's big and everything's come together and it has that crescendo, you just like, yes, it just brings this thing out of you, you know? I don't know. Yeah, it didn't happen to me.
Nor Jax. She's like, when is this over? That's great. And you know, they're usually like two and a half hours long. Yeah. Rarely are musicals short. Let's hear what River had to say. Yeah, River. My answer is my favorite musical is Into the Woods, written by Stephen Sondheim. Stephen Sondheim. Stephen Sondheim. Whatever.
I was lucky enough to be able to play this on piano at my high school performance or like at my school's high school performance. Nice. And yeah, I can't wait to hear your guys' answer. Thank you so much for playing my question and see you little pretty little ladies in this next episode. Thank you, River. River crushed it. Yeah. I've never been in a musical.
That would be a goal. I would like to try that at some point. I was in a musical in fourth grade, fifth grade. Oh, yeah. I was in the one at church about Jonah and the whale. Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah. That's what we sing. And the whale. I was in a Peanuts musical, but I played. I could see that. You know who I played? Who? Charlie Brown? Peppermint Patty. Oh, yeah. Peppermint Patty. But the odd thing was they put me in a dress. Oh. It's like, no. She's the.
Tomboy, right? The full-blown lesbian. Yeah. She's not a tomboy. She's a full-blown lesbian. Yeah. That's what we called full-blown lesbians before they knew they were, we called them tomboys. I think I maybe had one line and I didn't have to sing, but I was in the musical. I was in the vicinity of a musical. Yeah. I love it. I love you too. Oh, I love you. Well, that was delightful. Yes, it was. I'm hoping that you have a nice Christmas, Tig.
I think I will, especially now that we know Max and Finn are kind of neutral about Christmas. The pressure's not on. There's no elf on the shelf. No, we've never had an elf on the shelf. And then this year, Stephanie was like, how about you and I don't get gifts for each other? And then we just do a really special.
activity or take a weekend getaway. And I was like, yeah, I was like, I am all in on that. Yeah. Cause like, we're kind of at the point where we're like, what are we going to get each other? Yeah. It's like, okay, here's a sweater. Yeah. Well, that sounds great. It's just different. And I don't know. I'm looking forward to it, that it's not like full blown lesbian. Right.
