DeepSummary
In this episode of the Handsome podcast, comedians Tig Notaro, Mae Martin, and Fortune Feimster discuss a question posed by Tan France of Queer Eye fame about missed opportunities in life. They share personal stories, including Tig's experience auditioning for Saturday Night Live and her regret over declining an invitation to hang out with Paul McCartney, as well as Mae's embarrassment over her ill-advised 'french tuck' fashion choice for her Netflix special.
The conversation also touches on topics like aging, parenthood, and the joys of being homebodies. Tig reflects on how grateful she is for the way her life has unfolded, appreciating moments like snuggling with her family and their cats on the couch. Mae describes an adorable game she plays with her partner's daughter, pretending to be screaming fans at a Taylor Swift concert.
Throughout the episode, the hosts share amusing anecdotes, such as Tig's story about standing in her underwear with her mother-in-law, and their discussion of the children's song 'Little Bunny Foo Foo.'
