This conversation really hit home for me. My wife & I are both chronically ill, & seniors, without friends. Not having a community to lean on is rough. Our society throws people like us away. We struggle, but we at least have each other & our dog family. I urge listeners to reach out to anyone you know who might be needing help. It’d mean the world to them

[@xothi12]

DEAR BEAUTIFUL HANDSOME COMMUNITY, I absolutely have been a huge fan of t pod and of each and every one of all your work as well forever, years and years. I'm from LA but live in Mexico and have been a remote Spanish-English Medical Interpreter since even before CoVid and all thru the pandemic... So since then I have been with all types of specialist health care providers, patients and families in US hospitals when it matters most, in all areas and health care situations and of course I love my care work profoundly. However, recently I myself was ill and could not work as I normally do, which often is 10-12 hr days, only half time, to be able to receive my treatment and recovery. It really affected me financially and now basically I am quite behind on my rent and bills... Like I mentioned I live in Mexico so dollars go a long way here and are trying to fund raise 2500 dollars to be able to continue my recuperation, my health care work and get back on track... Tig, May, Fortune, Arnold, anyone here in this wonderful Handsome community who could possibly donate ANY funds at all it could literally save me from losing my apartment, employment, health treatment, electricity, water, gas, everything I have worked so hard and wholeheartedly for... If this speaks to you please let me know here, I will send you my paypal and I will be infinitely grateful for your critically needed help, care and support!... I APPRECIATE YOU DEEPLY, SENDING HANDSOME LVE AND KISS!....

[@susanlyon8515]

Where are you located? Maybe there are other handsome listeners in the area to form a community. Little pockets of Handsome communities throughout the world.

[@invis-unicorn]

@@susanlyon8515 That’s a wonderful thought, but I wasn’t trying to use this forum for personal gain lol You’re very kind to reach out tho. Thank you! :)

[@fanwatisha]

@@susanlyon8515 Great idea! I’m also elderly, well-advanced neuro disease, not enough people around. A Handsomes mix would be groovy!

[@bot4u]

It's so upsetting that material and other needs are often super inaccessible. I get upset about this esp being on social security benefits myself. but people care about this stuff and hopefully people who are involved in grassroots movements and attending city council meetings and organizing, they will show up for others.

[@erinwakefield6879]

Just a little unsolicited advice from your friendly neighborhood volunteer: You don't need to start an organization! I promise you, whatever you are thinking of starting, there exists a similar (if not exact) type of foundation in your area and they are desperately trying to reach out to the community. All you need to do is show up at the next event and make yourself "useful". You will meet wonderful, like-minded people and your time, help, and skills will be so appreciated. Keep it Handsome 💚

[@-laydeeintrigue-]

Mae's excitement at them wanting to hear the poem was particularly handsome.

[@jessicarenfrowilson1826]

Tig’s face when Mae disappeared was the absolutely hilarious

[@kimberlyjohnson6124]

I have rewatched that way toooo many times! 😂 Deep belly laughs

[@arielle222]

lolololol mae just disappearing like that is the hardest i’ve laughed in ages

[@hdog4474]

“I can walk right into the fire…” this made me emotional 💓 thank you for being one of the best of the best, Tig.

[@sarachristine7113]

It brought me to tears to hear how Tig shows up for loved ones during hard times. I'm going to strive to emulate that...

[@eileenheller7016]

Same. So inspiring, I felt it in my heart!

[@marciemann6810]

Humor and laughter are very useful - we need more of that. Thank you, Handsomes.

[@startthefirstchapter]

This is a particularly good episode😂 I loved the computer glitch and Fortune’s staunch stance that Janet Reno doesn’t have to have a significant other. I even went to wiki and read that Janet Reno was learning Spanish, learned in-line skating, and went to plays. I’m a huge advocate for people to enjoy hobbies more so I really admire Janet now! ❤

[@pattykeough]

"she died wrestling a bear" - I love that Mae got that in there and they didn't hear it.

[@democratsHQ]

I am a 2-time cancer survivor and Tig is absolutely spot on with her comments about helping people. For some reason, when you are ill, you feel like a burden and so when people put it on you to reach out when you need help, you don't. (It's a vicious cycle.) Those friends and family that understood that and took that first step of initiating helping instead of putting that on me saved me and I am forever grateful to them! It's hard but so important!

[@andream138]

Waking up on Tuesday and remembering that you have something good to look forward to. Just a small little happy thing is everything.

[@alicedyches]

“Jafar…UM ANYWAY”

[@ji4860]

The three of you are individually and collectively handsome and precious!!!

[@sarahmoore1430]

Dolly Parton has a program where your kid gets sent a new book every few months for free. When they come, I yell Aunt Dolly sent you another book! lol I don’t think she would mind.

[@KristineMaitland]

Yes, the book program runs in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia.

[@Ashorteravailablehandle]

Wouldn’t it be wild if Mae finally watches this bear video and it’s a just a hairy gay man swatting at men trying to win money by pinning him? 5:49

[@nicolecollado1652]

What Tig said about really showing up made me very emotional. I lost both of my parents at 17 and I had a lot of empty promises from family friends, teachers, saying they would be there, but they weren’t. The people who just wanted to be there,…there, especially with a home-cooked meal were the best..oh man, the people who feed me, I was wayyyyy too depressed to eat. And needed company to do so .Everyone told me I was strong and tough, and I’d be okay instead of offering help. Who says that to a child? Tig ❤

[@anne-mariehubert3181]

As you said, sometimes, the right smile at the right moment makes all the difference. I was wondering what to do for my sick aunt. Tig, thank you so much for your wisdom. I'm just going to show up and be there. What a podcast!

[@Booklover9257]

I had open heart surgery last November. I knew I needed it for a month and your podcast helped me laugh during one of the most stressful months of my life. My surgery was on a Tuesday and I remember feeling sad I couldn’t listen to your pod that day. Also I’m only 32 and not being able to be useful after surgery was one of the hardest things for me.

[@fanwatisha]

I’m towards the end of a 25-year neurological disease. Not good for much! But I loved doing volunteer work, and it bugs me not to being doing anything useful now. This inspires me to contact local volunteer and seniors orgs; could I do brief conversations? (Half an hour is my max for talking.) Thanks for pushing me into checking this out. Thanks Arnie!

[@melissarafter1158]

What a fabulous episode as always. When I was struggling I didn’t know sometimes when having someone beside me was exactly the medicine I needed

[@athelas379]

"Cat ladies get sh*t done!" 😸

[@buna4190]

I love that bear poem! ❤🐻

[@ivybasement]

cutting to an ad right after fortune asked mae how long it took to write their poem 😂 i was invested in finding out the answer, that edit got me good

[@MrsBungle78]

Thank you Handsomes, for giving me some laughs & just generally cheering me up today. My Mum passed a year & a half ago & today was to be her 63rd birthday. Y’all really came through for me, & I’m sure many others today. Big love!🥰 (three hearts for three handsomes!) *Woah! I wrote this comment before Arnie asked his question!🤯

[@davidadams2395]

I'm sorry for your loss. I wanted to say more, but everything sounds like a Hallmark sympathy card.

[@jonathanrio6587]

GREAT episode! WHAT A PODCAST!!!

[@buna4190]

Oh Biggie! So freaking adorable!❤😊

[@Civatate0]

"I don't know Star Trek speak" --BEST LINE EVER!

We must have "Save the Donks" merch!!! It's not a want! It's a need.

[@TiOnemorename]

One of the hardest things about being disabled is figuring out how to be useful

[@Civatate0]

"Bearly" got into that poem and then crash!

[@sandyl4100]

That was a very good poem, Mae. There's no need to be so tentative about sharing your art. You're talented!!

[@cr00kedlove]

Mae disappears 12:26 😅

[@wellesleymarie2704]

... one claw could make ... 🐻⚡️... 😂

[@andrearobertson9359]

I really like the po-eem Mae, and I think we all got a taste of the insane amount of built-up anticipation you've been feeling, but I'm not sure this video actually exists. 😮😂

[@hanstera_deliciosa]

Random acts of kindness!!! Yes.

[@renhamilton5789]

I am SO thrilled Jett Reno is gonna be on Starfleet Academy. And the EMH (Robert Picardo) and Tilly! This is gonna be epic. And Tig, we couldn't tell on Discovery that you struggled with the tech speak lol

[@katestewart6274]

On one of my trips to Ireland, we randomly went to a donkey sanctuary in Liscarrol and it was one of the best days of my life. What sweet souls!

[@savoriequeries]

Jax-sounds soo awesome. She did so much for the kids she taught.

[@rarad.3793]

Tig "I can't do it" was hilarious! 😅

[@charaelias6687]

When I die I want to come back as Fortune's dog 😂

[@Mop2247-tx]

Rotary clubs are a great way to get involved across multiple organizations locally while being in community.

This was a great episode! Thanks!

[@ValentineGalindo-lc4uz]

Love you guys! Love your guests! Makes my day! 😊

[@tracynortham5852]

Loved this episode!

[@melodyting88]

What I love about this podcast is y’all crack me up but also get so deep. Literally cried listening to y’all. And yes Arnold has always been inspiring too.

[@PatrickKeating]

Mae somehow didn't get the black T-shirt memo

Yes to triathlons, keep it up Tig!! ❤

[@savoriequeries]

Tig- I feel you with the being helpful and working with people in a hard place. I'm always there for people no matter what. However, I feel it hard to ask for help for myself.

[@susanhowie2796]

[@trishtruue]

Love the help you all give❤

[@trishtruue]

This question is so great and Tig 💯 and you find your community Unfortunately in the US there is a disconnect we live far from family sometimes This hit home for helping people and what you really are going to do

[@ItsChloeyall13]

This was a great episode! I love how much meaning Mae attaches to things, I'm looking forward to the follow up once they've seen the video! Also there is definitely something about donkeys in the UK, all these adverts on the TV showing sad and abandoned donkeys asking you to donate.

[@meredithcarr8918]

On another episode someone suggested in the comments, making merch with "Probably, one of the funniest people Tig knows." I think it's a great idea, and I promise if you make it, I will buy it!

[@Thomas_H_Sears]

My Aunt Lavita always said, "Never let help go unneeded." It was her way of informing us that sometimes, people want to help and - though you may not need it - it is a kindness to accept their help.

[@katarzynamg5123]

That was an amazing episode for 😊

[@mollyeisen-kearns5013]

I literally just recorded my question about laundry on Sunday 😂

I struggle a lot with knowing how to help cause organizing can be such a difficult step. Community is so important in supporting each other. I was raised to be very productively useful, as an adult I try to direct that energy to helping others.

[@ZeliaMartiny]

I like the Tig's idea of giving people a meal for a few days. But keep in mind that more and more people have nut allergies. Switching up your ingredients could be helpful.

Don't start a foundation- donate to and volunteer with EXISTING nonprofits! There are so many, and we don't need money wasted on the admin of new. It is a real problem in our nonprofit/philanthropy field. You will be welcomed by SO many established organizations- go for it!

After visiting a donkey sanctuary in Bonaire many years ago, I determined that I was going to be the donkey philanthropist. I currently donate regularly to a sanctuary in TX. It felt like I could make more of an impact because your average person is just not concerned with donkeys.
