The greatest day of my life.
Screw that.
Can I spoil the surprise?
It was very nice.
This relationship is in flux.
I might cry again.
This is What a Joke with Tom and fortune Feimster
on Netflix is a Joke Radio.
We actually got a very sweet voicemail that
I would like to play.
And talk about sincerely Fortune.
This is for Fortune.
It's very sincere and it really made both
me and Charlene happy.
So I'd like to start with it's from our friend,
Mike from New Brunswick.
Oh, okay.
Hi Mike.
So let's, let's share that.
Hey guys, Mike, from New Brunswick calling, um,
I just wanted to say to Fortune, congratulations
on your marriage.
Um, made me feel good to see you guys found each
other and you got married.
Um, I don't know you very well, but I can tell you're
a good hearted person.
You've been through a lot in your life Fortune.
And if anybody deserves to be happy, it's you, because you
bring so much joy to everyone else, you make us laugh.
Um, on a side note, I just wanted to let you
know, and this was a little more serious.
Um, I watched your special and I never really put things into
perspective before for me.
But when you were talking about telling your mother when
you were coming out, that you were gay your mother and it
was the look on your face, and it really hit me hard.
It really put it in perspective of what people
have to go through, the panic and the fear of
telling their parents they're gay and not knowing how
they're going to respond.
And it was a comedy, but it literally broke my heart.
And I wanted to thank you for, for opening
up my eyes to that.
I hope you guys have a long and long happy life together.
Thanks for everything.
He made you cry.
That was very nice.
Oh, tearing up.
I know that was very sweet.
That was beautiful.
And to think that Tom shit all over that kind of stuff.
I was going to say to think that that guy lives
in New Brunswick so weird.
No, it was very, very sweet.
I mean, you know, that's the, the message
behind the comedy that.
You know, some people get some people don't and to see
when it hits home for somebody that's really special.
It's really great.
And it well-deserved, I, I couldn't, I couldn't say
it any better than that.
Big lug yeah in New Brunswick.
That big lug, well, it's, it's been an interesting week
just because, uh, with our.
Marriage announcement, you know, it's a
very joyful thing.
And I mean, we got so much love from it, but we got
so much hate from it too.
Yeah.
Screw that.
No, I know.
I don't pay attention to it much, but you
just go, wow man.
There's some really hateful people out
there and just to see.
To one announcement where you're like, we got
married, can incite so much hate is like, ah, it
really, it didn't take away from anything for sure.
But it just was really like, Whoa, this people
assume this has gone away.
And, and for, cause I'm pretty lucky.
Like I said before in my career that I have very
positive supporters and fans and so I don't deal
with a lot of that stuff.
And this news was.
You know, went to a bunch of different sources and-
Right.
So you were just like, Oh man,
it's out of the bubble of you're
out of the bubble yeah.
And so you go you go, man, I, you re are reminded of,
of, um, you know, I think everyone just assumed that
like, uh, Oh, look, get, you know, the gay things, not
even a thing we don't think about anymore and you go, Oh,
no, there's a lot of hate.
For it's still.
So, yeah, I think it made me a little emotional because
you're like, there's still so much hate around it.
And, and when you are a gay person about to tell your
family, there is a true, genuine fear that they will
also hate you and that's the end of your relationship.
And it just sucks.
It, something that should be so not even a
second thought can really incite this kind of.
Emotion from people.
Yeah.
It's I mean, for all the progress we've
made, there's definitely always a long way to go.
It's always such a puzzle to me.
And I think the older I get, the more, it, the
more that the idea of, of sex being a topic for
anybody outside of the two people just seems so crazy.
It's such a, it's such a silly thing.
Yeah.
It's so crazy
is it's so yeah,
cause no one's life is negatively affected.
Now that Jacs are married, like no one's
life has changed nothing.
Everyone's good.
Nothing changed in the world, except for our relationship.
I feel like you and I.
Now, you know, there's always been a, I wouldn't
say a tension, but there's just been, this there's
been a love that we share.
What kind of tension?
I don't know how to really to describe.
Joe, how would you describe it?
Like a?
Well, I think flirtatious.
Oh, I didn't see that.
Probably a safe word to start with.
Like, that's how I always felt.
Charlene, did you pick up on that?
Uh, no.
Yeah, I didn't, I didn't.
Yeah.
I always, I always describe you guys to people as
like the, will they won't, they of radio.
Pam
I don't know that I was putting out that vibe.
Me neither.
I don't know where it came from.
That's the thing.
It would just exist organically.
Pheromones raging through our zoom.
That was very well said from our friend in New Brunswick.
And it sums it up in a very eloquent way.
And it's always the noisy, horrible people
that have some impact.
That's why like people run around with those giant flags
and do all this stuff, but the majority of the human
beings do feel that way.
And.
Yeah
Are all in there,
Like Mike.
Nice, cool, nice people.
Don't ever shit on his town again.
Yeah.
And what's an interesting thing when he was saying
it was that I will, but it was saying that, uh,
you know, you have to go through so much before you
get married as a gay couple.
Like you have to go through so much.
Deciding and your families and all this and the laws.
And then it's like all the struggles before you
get married and then you just get to be happy.
And I can say as a straight.
Man, it's kind of the opposite.
Everything's easy up until you get married.
And then it's all downhill from there.
Just a disaster.
Oh, poor Tommy.
That's when the struggle begins.
I can't just eat chicken wings whenever I want.
My What a Joke.
Family sent me an Apple pie for my wedding.
And I ate it for breakfast this morning,
not the whole pie.
Wait what?
But, uh, I got a pie and it's from Michigan.
And Jac's very excited about that because it said
pure Michigan on it and Jac's is from Michigan and
it reminded her of home and it was really sweet.
Thank you guys.
You mean some listeners sent it.
No.
Oh,
Uh, I think that, I think that our, uh, our, what a
joke team of Charlene and
Oh,
Joe, sent it, cause I got married.
Yeah.
Got married.
Kind of like when, like when I buy, like when my special
came out of my book came out and you got treats because
of my accomplishments.
I got a treat when your book came out, but in my defense,
I advocated for the treats.
See, this is what I'm saying about how our
relationship has changed.
Since you've gotten married, we used to do things together,
get treats together, and now it's just different.
It's just I don' think it's worse.
It's just-
She's just sharing it with Jacs.
Jacs and.
So I just wanted to say, thanks guys.
Fortune and Jacs.
It was as meaningful as Mike's message.
But can we, uh, I think, is it okay, Charlene, should I
spoil the surprise about that?
Um, just so you know.
Was I not supposed to talk about it.
No, no, you're more than welcome to, but there's.
Its bigger than what it appears.
Um, we actually set you up for a pie of the month club,
so you'll be getting a pie, I believe for the next six
months, uh, every month.
So it's not just one pie.
It's, it's a wedding.
Uh, shower of pies.
I might cry again.
Sorry, Mike, one point for Mike, maybe two
for us with the pie.
Are you serious!
This is the greatest news of my life.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Cause people, people will send in champagne, which Jac's
is into, but I'm like, Hmm.
What about me?
It was Charlene's idea, full credit to Charlene
because she's like, she came to me, she was like,
what do you think about pie of the month for Fortune?
And I was like, well, you just hit a grand slam.
Not even a whole bunch, hit a grand slam.
Oh my God, God, this is literally the
greatest day of my life.
We'll be right back with What a Joke with Jacs and Fortune.
Oh, that pie is so good.
Yeah.
I can imagine.
Tom You don't even know.
No I don't.
The pie is so good.
I don't know I have no way of knowing.
It started with Apple.
Is it like the cake that you got when my book came out?
Is it as good as that?
That one really good too.
I can imagine.
But this is like every month for six months.
Yeah good for you.
I'm gonna get six pies.
Great.
I'll just sit here with my vegitarian family
and dream about stuff.
I'll tell you this.
If I get a Berry pie and Jacs doesn't want it.
You can have it.
Yeah.
Have Biggie, take a dump on it, send it on over.
Charlene's kind of getting ahead of the Berry stuff.
Oh really.
That's the, Charlene knows what you don't like.
So I think we're in control of what pies you get.
You probably aren't going to get a pie.
This is horrible.
It's just an adjustment.
I shouldn't say it's horrible.
It's just an adjustment.
You don't want a pie of the month.
You're over there on your Peloton.
I'm just getting, being a fatty fat, fat over here.
Let me take one for the team.
Yeah.
All right.
Just, you know, relationships change.
And this is just one of those times when this
relationship is in flux.
I did not know that this was going to lead
to a pie of month.
Someones gonna get married more often.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Someone's going to be renewing our vows before
the end of the year.
Tom and his family sent me beautiful flowers.
As well.
Every month or is it just for the one and done?
Just once.
Tom and, you could stop at Tom.
No and family.
Oh.
Tom sent them it had everybody on there even Frank's name.
Oh, you gotta do that.
So, uh, so everybody's been real nice to me.
I, I do appreciate it.
Well Congratulations.
Thank you.
Enjoy your pie.
Pies, plural.
I'm going to, uh, Let's let's listen to some comedy
and when we come back.
I'm going to drink some cold coffee.
You want some pie?
