TL;DR

the one-minute version
  • May June reopened the Fuggettes Space after a few weeks off, easing back in with zero agenda and a "we are so back" energy. 5:49
  • Most of the hour was a warm travel debrief: May June's first trip to Egypt for a friend's wedding, and guest Show's long history of medical mission trips to Africa. 12:17
  • NYC prep was a running thread — Show is heading to NFT NYC side events in two weeks, nervous about the city but excited to finally meet the community IRL. 21:03
  • A candid detour into the craft of running Spaces: cutting off monologuers, filling silence, and surviving X "rugging" you off the mic. 46:05
  • Fugs housekeeping: two big partnership announcements this week (including one with LT3), Fugs official Spaces Mondays 1pm ET, Fuggettes Thursdays 1pm ET. 1:00:56
  • Closed with the traditional founder tribute song that the community swears sounds like it's saying the founder's name over and over. 1:02:56

Highlights

At 5:49

"We are so back."

May June opens the first Fuggettes Space after a multi-week vacation gap, framing the group as a community-led subcommunity for women and the wider Fugs community that she's run largely solo since last September — nearly a year now, a milestone she's quietly proud of.

At 9:25

A very new fugget

Show introduces herself as only a few months in, multitasking through the call while making "a couple cheesecakes," and immediately glancing at SB's PFP as the resident who "just makes us laugh."

At 11:02

The jetlag math

Show offers the traveler's rule of thumb — one day of recovery per hour of time difference — leaving May June to note she's got several more days of Egypt-to-Canada fog to sleep off.

At 15:59

First time in Egypt

May June recounts flying out for a high-school friend's wedding — a friend she hadn't seen in seven years — and realizing it was her first time on the African continent at all, sparking a shared confession that neither of them was ever a geography star.

At 19:40

The tourist tax

The food talk turns gently honest: chicken burgers by day two, "on the shitter" by day three, and a hard-won lesson to be more careful with meat. Show, a seasoned Africa traveler, shares her team's stay-safe eating rules.

At 27:35

Jed's "grapply" voice

The room bonds over the surreal experience of meeting people IRL whose voices you only know from Spaces — Show teasing that she wouldn't want to meet Jed in an alley on voice alone, and May June admitting she once had to show Angel a clip to confirm it was really him.

At 35:00

The fam brings the receipts

A community-team member ("the fam") who'd just visited Egypt himself adds texture — the wealth gap, the harassment tourists can expect near Giza (including the classic "let me take your photo" phone-ransom hustle), the resort coast full of Europeans, and mosques and churches literally built atop one another through the country's history.

At 54:00

"He would absolutely never thumb us down."

Asked in chat whether he's coming to NYC, SB answers with a thumbs-down emoji — which Show gallantly insists must mean "not going," not disapproval of them — right as SB cheerfully keeps spamming the thumbs-down button. May June cracks up at the timing.

At 1:00:56

Fugs news

Before playing out, May June flags two partnership announcements this week, teases an announcement-of-an-announcement with LT3, and reminds everyone of the schedule: Fugs official Mondays, Fuggettes Thursdays, all 1pm ET.

I love to you know just spread the pink sparkly vibes for everyone, but at the same time, every girl in here has their own personality.

You gotta get back to the grapply voice... the one that scares me. I don't want to meet you in an alley with that voice.

Show, on Jed 27:35

I've learned to be comfortable on opening my mic and cutting people off.

May June, on wrangling monologuers 48:52

Now I get to harass people officially, so let's go. No more 'hey, I'm just a holder.'

I'm not just a pink gopher. I'm not just the Fuggettes, I'm not plural. I'm May June.

Who said what

  • May June (@fugettes)* — host; guided the whole hour, recapped her Egypt trip, gave Fugs news, and reflected candidly on how the Spaces have evolved from her hour-long solo "radio" monologues to relaxed group chats.
  • Show (guest) — fairly new fugget and frequent co-host of the Super(highgasfees) Space; brought years of Africa medical-mission experience, prepped aloud for her first solo trip to NYC, and traded hosting tips.
  • The fam (community-team member) — hopped up mid-Space with firsthand Egypt context and plenty of dry banter about "officially" harassing people into becoming speakers.

Worth a full listen

  • 15:59–42:24 The Egypt travelogue. Between May June's wedding trip and the fam's own recent visit, this stretch is a genuinely rich, two-perspective portrait of the country — the welcome, the hustle, the wealth gap, the architecture — that a bullet list flattens.
  • 46:05–51:24 Running Spaces, honestly. May June's practical advice on reclaiming a conversation from a monologuer and getting comfortable talking over someone is the most useful few minutes for anyone who hosts.
  • 1:02:56–1:05:23 The founder song. The full "is it really saying that?" community in-joke only lands if you hear it play out.
