My favorite part of these podcasts is when Tig says "Fortune!" in that surprised/dissapointed mom voice.

I watch the Joe song over and over. It brings so much joy to my life!

"Hello, my name is Joe...and I work in a button Factory. I have a wife, 3 kids, and a family. One day, my boss walked up to me and said "Hi Joe, are you busy?" "I said no" he said "Turn, the button with your left hand"... And on and on until it's like "Sit down!" 😂😂 👍

Mae's face when Fortune is singing about Joe the Button maker is priceless!

OMG I died when Fortune started singing about Joe and the Button-factory. I am from Norway and we always sang this song in school, just a bit different in Norwegian.

Joe and his button factory were a huge hit in NC. The best was at the end when you had to push the button with your tongue while continuing the song. We see you Fortune 👆🏼

Yes! And it reminded me of the song “My Name is Abraham,” it goes on to say “and I have 7 sons, and 7 sons had Father Abraham…” Did other NC kids sing this, or was my 5th grade teacher such a hardcore bible-beater that she was the only one teaching us this song???

I’m a music teacher and I use the button factory song with young kids. It’s an action song and the words create rhythms that can be easily remembered. It’s a good teaching tool and a fun song!

I grew up with “hello, my name is Joe” THANKS for pulling that out of your hat

Yes, Fortune!! Joe and the button factory - perfect camp song. Please tell Mae and Tig about "Going on a Bear Hunt"

I learned the button factory song at camp when I was a kid 😂 Not speaking to its value... just it's validity lol. You Handsomes have me cracking up while shoveling a foot of snow off my driveway in -9° weather. Thank you for that 🙏

I've bookmarked this episode for when I'm having a bad day. The way Tig and Mae try to hang with Fortune when she starts her song and then reality sets in that THIS is really it is my favorite moment in podcast history.

I wasn’t aware of Tig’s documentary on Netflix ….and so I watched it….WOW. What a moving, beautiful doc. If you didn’t love Tig already, you will love her or love her even more after this. What she has lived through and somehow she came out the other side shining. And the story of her relationship with Stephanie was so wonderful to witness. Please watch if you haven’t ! You’ll be happy that you did. “Tig” ❤️❤️

Even Zoom’s touch up couldn’t cover up Tig’s disdain for the Joe song. 😂

Joe and his button factory was a total banger when I was a kid. We see you, Fortune! You're not alone!

"‘It is heavy carrying around that raging sense of injustice" Whoa Mae I felt this in my bones. I related a lot to Fortune's Mom story - mine asked for forgiveness from me a couple years ago via email and 'didn't need to talk about it again' so I'd been feeling sort of cheated that I didn't get my pound of flesh and really tell her ALL the ways she hurt me, while she got to just shake the Etch a Sketch and run away. But this ep made me realize that's just breaking MY spine carrying that around. Love you guys and the pod!

YES, I forgot about that song! We sang it at camp and bible school. The adults wanted us to burn off energy. I am neurodivergent, diagnosed ADHD. Suspected autism but I haven't gone through with the tests yet. It is a big difference than "thinking differently". Being NeuroSpicy is amazing. I wasn't dx until 40 and it has changed my world for the better.

It is crazy to me that Tig and Mae don't get Fortune's references like "Hi, my name is Joe" and the electric slide because I honestly thought EVERYONE knew and grew up with these. 😂

Electric Slide for SURE! Though Mae is Canadian, so it may be different sometimes…

This was awesome. I felt like I was in a therapy session, a really funny, laugh-out-loud therapy session. And it didn't cost $200! Thanks, Handsome!

This episode is a must-see! Instant classic for Fortune’s song about Joe the Button Maker that renders Mae speechless and Tig’s incredulity that this song is appealing to anyone

I was a camp counselor and we sang the Joe song, from kindergarteners to high school seniors. So much fun watching a group of kids trying to turn and push buttons with both hands, both feet, and their tongues!!

Tig’s mic is bigger than her head. I appreciate that. Y’all are all handsome and don’t need any work done. Finally, I can’t listen to y’all at work because I cry laugh SO HARD that it disrupts my co workers. So now I watch the KZread episodes when I’m at home and my laughing irritates my husband which provides so much joy to me. Thank You for making me happy! Also, y’all are great. Keep doing what you’re doing! Finally, is anyone “pro germ”? Sorry. I keep editing because I add comments before the episode is over plus I’ve been drinking so my mind doesn’t work right. Thanks. Bye!

I have been working in the early childhood education field and have sung this song /chant with preschoolers for 25 plus years! The children love it! Hi, my name is Joe and I work in button factory. I have dog, a house and a family. One day my boss walked up to me and said Joe are you busy, I said no. So push the button with your left hand. The best part is when the kids yell YES! At the end. You are correct Fortune! The whole conversation made me laugh!

Depth + Humor together ... be still my heart and brain.

I cried of laughter at the button factory part 😂 did anyone else ever learn the bumble bee song? I really enjoyed the forgiveness section, I sometimes really struggle with forgiveness at the same time I've had situations where I've forgiven people so many times/given too many chances. It's really good to hear other people talking about friendships ending, sometimes being able to forgive but not wanting those people in our lives. I feel like it's something people don't always talk about a lot. I like this quote "Forgiving isn't forgetting, it's remembering and letting go" I really like Sarah's take that if you can't forgive it can feel like you're failing but if you don't feel it you just don't

9 Minutes killed me! It took Fortune took a second to catch it but when she did lmfao

I haven’t laughed this hard in so long. Tears literally pouring down my face. I’ve never heard the Joe song before but I get the concept. My god you all are hilarious 😭😭

The button factory was a hugely fun song. I love your reactions to it as adults but for some strange reason, it was a total banger in primary school in Australia!

YES Fortune.....we are with you! Joe, the Button Factory, all the turning of the buttons.....it was a THING!!! - at least in Minnesota it was. Great Pod as usual! XO

It’s an action song! It’s so fun and funny! Clearly Tig and Mae didn’t go to camp 😂

Oh heck yeah! Seeing these pretty little ladies on this pod fills my heart! Thank you for the video! I've been home bound due to injuries from a car accident so it really does help my spirits! You are all perfect!

Lol I know the Button factory song. It was like a camp song and YES Tig, similar to the hokey pokey 😂

Literally crying at Joe from the button factory 😂

It has been far too long since I have belly laughed this hard at anything! Thank you for sharing your humor and wit with us. I look forward to the podcast every week and am thrilled that I can watch you now on KZread.

Literally wheezing over here 🤣 That’s a call and response song which I think y’all should add to the list of things to do!

Watched this podcast the other night, and laughed at Tig and Mae, who had obviously never been to camp. Even though I hadn't heard it in fifty years, I remembered all the words to Bob at the Button Factory. Kids love any song that comes with repetition (rather than rhyming) as well as actions. Darned if I didn't go to work the next day (I work in a Kindergarten class in Southern Ontario), and the music teacher presented our next song - of course it was Bob at the Button Factory! The kids loved the last bit where you try to sing with your tongue stuck out, and the boss comes in and asks "Bob, are you busy?" and Bob says "YES!" Fortune, you have a new fan!

I always listen in the podcast format of Handsome but I had to watch the KZread version to see Tig and Mae's reaction to Fortune and Joe/Button factory 😂😂

I am with Fortune! We used to sing the Joe from the button factory song in Student Council!!!!😂😂😂

It’s even funnier when you see the confusion in their faces 😂 Come one y’all! Everyone knows Joe and his song about working in the button factory. It’s such a fun song

Thank goodness for Handsome in the middle of the night!

I’m dying because my version of the Joe button factory song in childhood… his name was BOB.😂😂😂

I’ve had the button song stuck in my head all day. 😂

I am so happy to be able to WATCH the 3 funniest people of all time. What fun! Smiling all day. Thanks!

I love how the three of you make each other laugh so much. And when Tig admonishes Fortune ... so funny.

How did you three get so handsome? I love this so much! Thank you!! 💕

Joe had a job and a wife and a family!! My son sang this after preschool. Great one, Fortune! Thought of it as soon as Mae mentioned button makers!! You are all sooo handsome!

We 100% talk-sang that song many times in elementary school and my son learned it in boy scouts as well. Our version ended with "...one day, my boss came to me and said 'Joe, are you busy?' I said 'YES!'"

this button maker song has unlocked something inside me. I think I did learn that! But I had to go back and rewatch Tig and Mae's reaction to the song. Their faces were too good!! I'm rolling

Omg crying laughing with the button factory song! I loved the weird premise and doing the silly hand motions with friends at a camp as a kid. Thank you for sharing your chats. So pleasant and chill to listen too. Also... You've inspired me to get off my butt(on factory shift) and start treading water ❤

Thank you Fortune for your insight in forgiveness. Thanks for sharing about your mom . Also Reason Season and lifetime - I agree. Tig I think it’s wonderful you can hang out with your ex as family friends- time is a wonderful gift if you’re given the chance .

I am so glad everybody came to Fortune's defense with the Joe song. Because Tig and Maev really just roasted her. 😅😅 I too know Joe from the button factory!! I think Tig and Mae are on the wrong side of history here 😅😂

I'm back. Just to comment on Mae's face when Fortune sings that darn song. I can't stop laughing. 😂 Mae is in awe.

Mae-let's go out for a drink and have a good cackle!

I listened on Spotify but then came back to watch on KZread and 14:50 made it worth it. I was dying laughing at the frozen expressions as Fortune started with the epic "Joe the Button Maker Song, yesitsasongbecause Joe! Rhymes with No!" old-timey classic 😅😅😅 Good to see ya'll on YT 🎉

I know I’m late to the game but just catching up on the pod! I’m from Alberta, Canada and we DEFINITELY loved this song as kids! This is how it went for us AND YES IT RHYMES!!! Hi My name is Joe And I work (take a beat) in (take a beat) a button factory I’ve got a wife and a dog and family One day my boss came up to me and said Hey Joe are you busy I said no He said PUSH the button with your right hand… Etc! Solidarity, Fortune!!!!

I always feel so handsome when Tig says, "hello handsomes."

Really appreciate the depth of the conversation around forgiveness....so important.

Great comedians. Incredible talent honestly

We strangers in the internet validate you and Joe the button maker, Fortune! Thank you for sharing on youtube so we can have the joy of Tig and Mae's first reaction.

Fortune unlocking a core memory of mine with the Joe Button song haha. So good! Love you all!

This is my medicine this morning thank you! 😂❤

Im canadian, amd i remember the button song! 😂...man, this was HILARIOUS!!!...what a spectacular group.of ladies!:)...thank you for making me laugh,...i needed this, today!...thanks, handsome ladies!

I just listened to this episode on KZread and at the end when you mention the way to watch the episode on KZread I’m now watching the same episode and I am laughing just as hard. 🤣 I love you ladies so much! ❤️

This is a camp song and so fun to sing!! Girl Guides still sing it! ❤😂

Justice for Joe! Tig and Mae didn't even let Fortune get to the best part, press the button with your tongue!

I heard a different version of the bird story. He forgets to fly south, and he's frozen in a field and can't fly. Then a cow (horse? dog?) takes a massive dump on him which horrifies him and convinces him this is the end. But he realizes he's now warm and comfortable and can move his wings again. He's so happy he lifts his head up and starts singing, which attracts the attention of a cat who promptly comes over and eats him. The moral of the story is if you find yourself in a shit situation but you're doing OK, keep your head down and your mouth shut...(I'm pretty sure when I heard it it was in the context of a corporate/office situation...)

Love seeing your handsome faces! Peace and love!

Another great episode, thanks Handsome Pod! After listening I was just thinking about how my own understanding of forgiveness has changed as I get older. I remember in university a Buddhist monk came to speak to a class I was in and much of what they spoke on was forgiveness. At the time I remember thinking that the whole idea made no sense and that it was a way of letting someone who had wronged me off the hook for what they had done. Over time what I have grown to learn is that all the anger I was feeling wasn't hurting that other person at all. My lack of forgiveness wasn't changing their behavior. The only person being hurt was me. So, I learned that (for me) there is a difference between forgiving someone and excusing their actions. Those are not the same thing. I learned to say, "what you did was wrong, it will never be right, never be ok, but I forgive you," because it gave me permission to release all the anger or sadness or whatever I had been holding. It allowed me to stop punishing myself for what they had done by constantly reliving it though how awful I felt. As to true, 100% deep forgiveness? It's something to aspire to I think? Anyways, that's my 2 cents on it... also as soon as Fortune started with "hi, my name is Joe..." I immediately finished the sentence with her, lol.

It’s a real and fun song to sing at camp with kids!!!

Yaaaaay! Video pod ❤️❤️❤️ so glad to see your handsome faces

I loved the Joe Button song as a kid! I hope Fortune opens the show with that next week 🤣

This is so great to see your handsome faces on here! Fortune, I also grew up with a backwards relationship with my mom and had the mom role. We had our ups and downs for sure. She wasn't able to do the growing that your mom was able to. I'm so glad you and your mother healed your relationship as it brings so much joy to us through your videos together. Love all you ladies! I also laughed so much with that crazy button song! 😂

Sweet! Just found this fabulous trio 🎉 Live you all! Thank you for all the laughs 😂🥰

I learned the button factory at Girl Scouts and we LOVED it. I think if Fortune had explained that each round you add a new “button” to turn or move with your hand or foot and eventually your whole body is moving every which way and kids love it bc you get to act silly. In fact, ours ended that you pushed the button with your tongue so you would sing with your tongue out, which cracks kids up. Sh. Fortune added extra lyrics from my version though. “Hi, my name is Joe, and I work, in a button factory. One day my boss said Joe are you busy I said no. He said push that button with your left hand. Hi, my name is Joe, and I work, in a button factory. One day my boss said Joe are you busy I said no. He said push that button with your right hand.” And so on. Love the show!

Well that brought up some memories. I sang the "Joe" song at camp. "Hi my name is Joe, I work at a button factory. I have a wife...two kids. The other day my boss came up to me and said, Joe are you busy? I said, no. Push this button with your right hand." Action: Pretend to pushing a button with your right hand. This was one of the favourite songs. We would repeat the verses adding and extra body part each time, accumulatively. Our left hand, the L foot, the R foot, our head, our tongue, and last our bum. All us kids would be moving all our bodies all over the place while singing with our tongues hanging in and out of our mouths. Being a kid under 12, we thought it was hilarious! Definitely got the wiggles out around the camp fire before we called it a night. 👏

Pro Joe as a child although I can’t say it holds up over time. It was super nostalgic ❤

Thank you for adding the videos to KZread. I like seeing your beautiful faces and the reactions you give to what the others say. I listen to the podcast on my morning walk and always come back to watch on KZread to actually see your reactions. I am with Fortune on this one, sang about Joe in the button factory as a kid. Sorry Tig and Mae missed out on that childhood classic, haha.

I learned the button factory song from Sherri Lewis and Lambchop, but it was Flo, not Joe. Either way, it SLAPS 😊

I love seeing y’all on the webcams!! You guys are the best.

The button factory song 😂 I laughed so hard thanks for reminding us fortune

Neurodivergent is an umbrella term..... It is EXPLICITLY INCLUSIVE. If I were to guess what kind of neuroqueer Mae is, I'm guessing AuDHD... because I get the autistic vibe (possibly bottom up processing) and I also see some indicators associative cognition. Both autistic and ADHD have sensory sensitivites. Things like toe walking is associated with being autistic, but probably related to sensory differences, so might occur with autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD folks.

Tuesdays are officially my favorite day of the week now because I can't stop laughing during every single episode. Love you guyssss!

Forgiveness is really an internal process. It's a letting go and unburdening. That other person is not impacted by the notion that you have or haven't forgiven them. You are the only one impacted by the weight you are carrying, so only you can decide when to put it down.

Joe in button factory 😂we sang that song as kids!😂

y’all are amazing!!! love u so much ❤❤❤

I was totally into the button factory song as a kid. 'Push the button with your nose'.....was my fav!
