Good morning, and welcome to a pretty little episode on one of your handsome hosts, Mae Martin. Join me in five. I'm for Jammeister, looking tanned glowing. I think what it is is, you know, tread and water. It's the new year, new year, new me. That's my motto for the year. You're calling that right? No one's ever said that before. That's yours.
So I've started off strong with trading water. So I got a little tan, I think, because of being outside. And I went to an event last night, so I had a lot of makeup on. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why my hair's still a little crazy.
You look great. You look like you just stayed out on night, so you still got the makeup in the hair. I didn't stay out all night. I just didn't do a good job of taking it all off. I see. That's the thing that when you get glammed up, I forget about the walk. I have to be diligent about taking it all off. Your bedtime routine has to be on point.
I do need to work on a bedtime routine. Do you have a bedtime routine? Do I ever fall? It depends if I'm self-destructing or not. If I'm self-destructing, then I'm having a cigarette. I'm watching porn. That's really bleak. But if I am in a good place, then I'm using a toner and cleanser and serum. And porn. And porn. And then I'm a cigarette.
No, I'm not smoking this year, I've decided. Oh, New Year, New Year. New Year, New Me, and I coined that one. It sounds similar to yours, but no, I was on a plane yesterday, though, and I try to take care of my skin after I go on a plane. And there was a little boy next to me. I was like,
Yeah, in my seats were in twos and it was me and this maybe eight-year-old boy. I don't know, I guess his parents were on the flight somewhere, but he was in a t-shirt and shorts and it was cold in the plane and he didn't have a book, he didn't watch TV, he was just sitting there and sleeping kind of with his head propped up on his
Elbow and I was like yeah, and then I felt weird because I sort of nudged him and I go hey Do you want a blanket or something or like uh-huh put your chair backwards and he was like no and I was like okay And then I it was driving me crazy because it's like a three-hour flight and yeah, I was like get this kid a blanket So then I weirdly asked the steward or the flight attendant I go could I get a blanket for the kid? He was like sleep the kid was already sleeping though Yeah, and then I kind of put this blanket on this kid and he was like oh
He clearly said he didn't want one. So what am I doing, trying to put a blanket on him? I don't know. You're like, I know what's best for you. I felt so protective of him. I was like, where are your parents? Oh, that's so sweet though. I mean, I would, that would be jarring to me. I know. Like what? I've only known kids to be covered in an iPad in front of their face. Yes. This guy was like emulation. He was like a world-weary businessman. Like just he's been this route many times. Yeah.
I was at a conference. I mean, he was wearing a very adult watch, I will say. He was definitely a child. I was like, is this Benjamin Button? Yeah. But it is kind of refreshing to see a year old that's not addicted to entertainment or games or whatever it is.
Yeah, totally. He was wise. I mean, yeah, what did I do? I was like, I always have a book on my lap that I'm like, I'm going to read this. And then I am just watching some, oh man, I watched one of the worst movies I think I've ever seen, but I won't say what it is. Oh, really? No one we know is in it or anything, but it's just one of those things where you're like, man, like this got made, you know? It's crazy. And knowing how hard it is to get movies made, you're like, how does that happen?
Exactly, because it was basically the plot of Memento, like God has no memory, and he's solving a murder, and then he's the murder. Oh, yeah. Basically, but it was like. Oh, yes. For unknown movie.
Yeah, yeah. That is the funny thing about being out here for so long now. You can't really crap on movies A because you know how hard it was to get it made. Yes. And you probably know a bunch of people that were somehow involved in this film. Yeah. Either on the cast or crew. Normally, I'm super non-judgmental because I'm just like, well, it's a huge feat to get something made, but this was so bad.
Yeah, yeah, and when planes movies are a little bit better for some reason like even a bad movie. Oh, yeah, true, true. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, I watched the whole thing glued to it. So I like sob watching a rom-com on a plane. Yeah, I love it. Because it just opened you up somehow. I know. Oxygen or whatever it is.
And you already love, you're very moved by flights as a rule, because you're saying, I'm leaving, leaving on a jet plane. See the tone there. And you just woke up. The tone there was absolutely beautiful. It was like, I haven't even done my vocal warmups. You posted a picture of
Jumping into a lake or something, that looked really pretty. Some would say jumping into a lake, some would say doing a handstand by the sea. Oh, that's what it was. I don't think I must have watched it quickly because I didn't see the handstand part.
Yeah, it was, I was doing a, oh, no, you know what? I did post to the thing. I'm jumping into like, no, I went to Mexico and then I poached, I poached, I poached a couple eggs. I posted me doing a handstand by the sea, but I can't actually stay vertical. So I had to time it with my friend. She had to take the photo just in the one moment where I was vertical. So it looked like I was really nice. Yeah. Was it a good, a good visit, a good break?
Yeah, I mean, I got a maybe on a full up. I'll get deep into it because it was like to loom Mexico very spiritual. I've been there. It feels very like some energy vortex there. It's a special place. Yeah. The swimming holes and then the end. The cenotes. The cenotes and then like the knowledge that the Mayans had about astrology and stuff. And I mean, I'm big and incredible. It's incredible. And I'm into aliens as you know.
Yeah. Well, you have to think about the experience you had, and when we're with Tig next time, you got to tell us more about it. Yeah. And yeah, because that's interesting. I will, for sure. All right. I'm excited. Should we get into a question? Let's do it.
Hey, handsome. This is Ainsley. Thank you for being my friends that I take on walks and car rides and commutes. You just don't know it. All for you all is if you could have one animal follow you around for the rest of your life, what would it be? And why are you choosing that animal? Oh, God, that's good. I mean, you have one. I have one. The answer came in my head immediately.
Um my biggie babe my biggie baby bear. Oh my god I mean if I could have him follow me forever. That would be a dream home true
I don't know why dogs don't have longer life spans, but that's for another day. Yeah. But you actually about love and loss. I know. I've been home for the last month and I didn't work at all for the last two weeks, which is highly unusual and not happened in a very long time where I literally had nothing.
I love that for you. That makes me feel calm. That makes my blood pressure go down just hearing it because you work harder than anyone that I know. So that's nice. He was just, was he pumped to have you around? Yeah, he just, I just was in a space where I was being very reflective of life and everything. So I was like, I was just a little bit
I don't know how to describe it like I vibrate kind of pretty high because there's a lot going on. So I'm juggling a lot of stuff. So my energy is probably up higher. And I was just like down, down, down, down, down, like thinking about life and thinking about everything. And he just kind of felt like he just sort of picked up on this energy. And just was like my little shadow for.
Oh wow and i would take them everywhere i went like if i ran errands go to the park and it was just like really calming having i took him to our live show yeah he was he was star. Yeah he's just really made a big difference just having him with me.
Okay, well, yeah, you have the perfect, there's a word for like, I'm thinking about the Golden Compass books where there's like, you know, every human has their demon or their, their, um, familiar. It's like, they, you know, that's their animal that talks to them. Yours is definitely big. Like you guys are twin souls. Um, mine would be
Because I've been doing these animal paintings, right? Yes, right. I'm thinking a lot about animal energies and things. And when I was in Mexico, I saw this screaming monkey. And I kind of had a vision of this screaming monkey. And I did not like that. I thought, OK, no monkeys. That's too chaotic. You're going to sneak you a little bit, too.
Yeah, I think I want something playful. So I was going to say like a sea otter, but then I thought it would feel kind of like having a child like like that playful toddler energy would be maybe exhausting after a while. Like I kind of want something wise that can all grounded spoon me and I'm like a leopard or something. I'm going to say a Jaguar. It would be fun.
Because if the Jaguar is it, let's say it's a teen Jaguar, so when it can be adorable still and I can pet it, but also not that I want teens to spoon me, but like a Jaguar. Yeah, it's not like a full grown. Okay. Yeah. Jaguar.
And it's kind of cool too, like it has a vibe about it. Oh, so hot. Yeah, it's vibe. Yeah. And y'all could be in paintings together or like you're shirtless and hugging the Jaguar. Oh my god. You're shirtless and hugging the Jaguar. Imagine how that would feel like? Yeah. Very handsome. That would feel so nice.
And you could play with it like that kind of wrestle and play like, yeah, I'm going to go jaguar. Yeah. And hopefully it's tame and, you know, I'll tame that. Okay. I believe it.
Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking all state first. Like you know to check and make sure you're wearing a fascinating hat before attending a traditional English Tea Party. Yeah, check-in first is smart, so check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with all state.

Biggie was spooning me this morning. So I get that. Oh, it's so good. He's little. So his, you know, he can't like properly do it, but I was on my side. So my legs are kind of pulled in and he went in the nook between my legs. Oh my God. And just like nestled in. God, that's great. That's incredible. Oh, what a great question.
We're going biggie and jaguar biggie would be less of true souvenir day to day life. The jaguar would get in the way, but I think people would have to deal. It'd be hard to sneak a jaguar into like dinner. Yeah, at a restaurant. It would have to pretend it was my coat or something, just like to rape it around me. Let's hear what Ainsley said.
My answer is a draft because they are wildly entertaining and they're beautiful and they're goofy and somewhat practical because you'd have an extra mode of transportation and you wouldn't get lost in a crowd. And supposedly the answer to this question represents what you look for in a life partner. So I'm excited to hear what y'all say. Thanks for being you. That put a whole new element into it. Oh my god. What do you think? Yes, I think. And I think it's really told me a lot about myself particularly because
I want that slightly dangerous power, but that playfulness. And I said, I can tame it, which is like, is that what I want? I'm looking for a wild jaguar that I can attempt to tame Jesus. Well, you can't have a boring light. You definitely can't go boring. You need a little more excitement. So Ainsley wants a giraffe partner.
Yeah, if someone very tall, kind of a gong back. Yeah. I guess big U would be like safe. Yeah, security, security, loyal, cuddly.
Uh-huh. I think that tracks. That tracks. Did you know that recently there was a baby giraffe born with no spots? It's the first one ever recorded ever. Whoa, May fact. Yeah. Did not know that. Yeah. Love it. All right. Let's get to our next one. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, why'd I say? Mm-hmm. That was so weird. Mm-hmm. Just became a barista or something. Hello, handsome pod. Hello, May. Hello, Tate. Hello, Fortune. Hello, Thomas. Wow. My name is Sam, a handsome little lay-them from Massachusetts, here to ask you, aside from handsome, of course, what is your favorite podcast?
Oh, Sam. Good question. By the way, they have a very enticing voice to me. I mean, I'm a sucker for anyone using my name. Like it's anyone going, well, may, I mean, oh, okay. That video of Lois and Brown blew up and your reaction to them saying your name was part of that. I really burst into tears. I was crazy.
So I believe that you get moved by someone saying your name. I really do. Yeah. It like wakes me right up and puts me in the present moment. Yeah. Because I know they're either mad at me or into me.
It's the tone in which they said. May. May. May. May. May. Do you have a favorite podcast? Yeah, I have a bunch. Well, I think the first podcast I ever got into was Professor Blastoff, and I was in London.
Yeah, because it was the first podcast I listened to where I really laughed out loud and felt like I knew them. That was take first podcast, I think, or second podcast. Those were early days. So long ago. This is like 2012 or something, maybe. And then I got really into serial and then kind of for me, it's like true crime for me. I'm listening.
pretty much every day. Did cereal kick off that true crime craze? Definitely with podcasts. That was that Adnan case, I believe? Yes, Adnan Syed. I can hear the theme song in my head still. Her voice was so calming. Her voice was amazing. I think all the ads were for Mailchimp. They're all for Mailchimp. You're so right.
Yeah, those were early, early podcast days of like, well, this is interesting. Yeah. What about you? Do you remember having a podcast used to be like the butt of a joke with comics? It was like, oh, you're going through a podcast? Now it's like presidential nominees are going on there. I know. I was kind of a late adapter to podcast, I think. I remember the first one I kind of clocked as being popular was my favorite murder.
Yeah, I was deep into that because I'm friends with Karen Kogera and had known her for years doing stand up and I was always like, God, Karen's like the funniest person I know. Like every year, I would be like, this person should be the most famous person in this show. Like the talent coming out of this woman is like next level. It's crazy. And then all of a sudden, you know, I was touring and I would see around all these cities, my favorite murder sold out. And I was like,
Whoa, Karen's podcast is like popular. This is like a thing. And I started listening to it and loved it. Yeah. So I listened to that for a long time. I haven't listened as much lately just because I've been so busy. Now I'm getting into the kind of self-help podcast world. Mel Robbins, I've been listening to... Is Mel Robbins let them?
Yeah, she wrote that book, let them. I'm obsessed with let them. 2025 is let them for me. I think a lot of people are adapting that.
Yeah, it's like if people are being adopting fucking around or they don't want to be. Well, she also let them. She did do an asterisk. I feel like lately because a lot of people were just kind of using it to be like, fuck it, which is part of it. But she then she then kind of did an addendum of like, let me.
So it's like, you have to let them do whatever this, that, but then that means you also have to walk away like do this. Yeah. Yeah. So it's not like, oh, I go do whatever the fuck you want. No, it's like, it's like, instead of trying to change or chase people, just control your environment and your reactions to things. Yeah. Cause you can let them go do,
whatever, I guess, but that has consequences. Yeah. So it's like you both have to weigh what is worth it. Yeah. So yeah, just kind of doing more of that stuff lately. I started a stair parole. Y'all got me into listening to some of my podcast. Yeah.
Yeah, she's amazing. I got into call Chelsea Peretti when she first started that podcast because I felt like it was very aspirational for me because I loved that she would just hang up on callers. She would be so mean to people, but it was so cathartic to listen to and funny. The people calling would just want her to be mean to them and I loved it.
I love Sarah Silverman's podcast. I used to listen to Anna Ferris's podcast a lot. There's an episode of Alison Janney that was really funny, but they did improv. I feel like Anna's also was one of the not early adapters of podcast, but one of the early ones to get a lot of success.
Yeah, but if anyone has recommendations for bingeable true crime series, especially where there's a resolution at the end, that would be great. Like shit town was amazing or Dr. Death. I think I like anything that's true crime comedy when people are making me laugh and some self help.
Oh, situations where I'm learning something. I have one. If anyone is feeling really like depressed and lost, there's one by Michael Mead called Living Myth, and it's like little bite-size episodes where this amazing guy, Michael Mead, who used to be like a
Like a prisoner of war and he is into mythology and he interprets the modern world through the lens of mythology to help us understand it. And it's really calming and he goes, welcome to the Living Myth podcast in which the shifting, changing world we live in is looked at from a mythic perspective. Anyway.
Nice, that definitely sounds up your alley. Well, there you go. Yeah, those are all great. I just listened to one about attachment styles. Oh my gosh. Do you think you're avoiding or anxious or both? I might be fearful, fearful avoided.
Maybe between secure, I think I'm secure and have a little bit of that. I go both depending on if my life's in a good place. Yeah. I know. That's the thing about once you self-diagnose with an attachment style, it's like, well, these things can change too. And it's dependent on the situation you're in and yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because I've been very secure as well. Yeah. It's interesting. Anyway, super interesting. We'll see what Sam said.
For me, aside from handsome, of course. My favorite podcast is Oliges with Ali Ward. I think May especially, if you don't know of this one, I think you would really enjoy it. There is so much interesting information, lots of cool facts that you can learn about the world around us to keep in your back pocket or write down in a notebook to present to your future dates. But definitely one to give a listen to.
I just wrote that down. All it is. I'm going to listen to it. That's amazing. Yeah. Thanks, Sam. Yeah. I welcome any recommendations as well, because anytime I travel now, I love music and I always love music, especially when I want to just be light and airy. But most of my travels, I'm listening to a podcast now. Really? Yeah. So yeah, hit us up with some recommendations.
Yes, especially if they have facts that that would be great. Well, this is a great, this is a great time as always. Yeah, absolutely. It's always interesting to hear people's questions and I learned something new about my handsome host every day. Dada.
Please submit your questions to speakpipe.com slash handsome pod. Keep them coming, especially. I really liked the reveal that the animal we chose was what we want in a partner. I like those personality test type things where you're like, describe a box. It's in a field. And then you're like, well, the box is your inner child in the field with your mother. And you're like, what?
Yeah, because we don't know what questions are being asked. So when we hear it, it's our brain just to meet like, what is the first thing that's coming to our brain? Yeah. And I do think that says something about, yeah, more than like, there's something subconsciously telling us this thing, but we don't know why.
