  • My new favorite podcast!

    I discovered this podcast just a short while ago but I’m loving every second of it so far! I’ve been a fan of Tig for a VERY long time and more recently got into Fortune a few years back and really enjoy her humor as well. I saw Wayward with my lady and we thought it was really good!

  • “You’re listening to handsome, aren’t you??”

    My go-to podcast for laughs especially when washing dishes as the fam shouts in the background. My wife can always tell it’s what’s in my ear as I giggle and scrub away as she shouts the question.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Judd Apatow asks about breakup dialog
Q: What very specific dialogue do you remember from when someone has broken up with you?
Judged by the guest, specific lines often blend emotional candor with narrative imagery, like a partner telling you to realize you still know very little about what you thought you knew, or a metaphor about waiting in a pond for the other person to jump in, illustrating how breakups can feel cinematic and timeless.
Jackie Kashian asks about handsome superheroes
Q: If you could be in the Marvel Universe, which character would you want to be and why?
The hosts debate multiple characters, with Tig leaning toward Spider-Man, Mae favoring characters like Iron Fist or Professor X, and Fortune weighing options while acknowledging their own comfort zones and entry points into the superhero world.
Pretty Little Episode #112
Q: If you were a nurse, what sort of specialty would you like to work in?
Danielle describes herself as a nurse working in urology and explains her reasons, then the hosts discuss potential nursing specialties with an emphasis on cardiology or mental health and acknowledge the challenges and rewards of nursing.
Pretty Little Episode #110
Q: What are the rules if fans see you in public and shout across the street?
They explain there isn't a single rule; responses vary by person, but many prefer brief, respectful acknowledgments like a quick compliment or “keep it handsome” rather than prolonged interruptions.
Pretty Little Episode #111
Q: What is the most transformative work experience you've ever had?
A combination of an early organizing-heavy job in LA where I learned to rely on lists and calendars, and a caregiving role with autistic kids that taught me to be a safe, dependable presence, fundamentally reshaped my approach to work and life.
