Desert Dome Experience

The episode opens with May Martin sharing her recent adventure to the desert, where she stayed overnight in a transparent dome.

• She elaborates on the unique experience of sleeping under the stars: "I fell asleep looking at the stars through this clear dome. And it was a new moon, so the stars were super bright." (01:35)

• However, May's serene experience takes a turn when she accidentally steps on a gecko: "I stepped on a lizard with my bare foot... I felt a squishy feeling, and then it died." (01:57). This incident leaves her feeling guilty: "I feel like I've been in grade five. I stepped on a snail, and I've been holding onto it ever since, like, feeling guilty." (02:26)

• Tig Notaro responds empathetically: "May. That's really bad news." (02:07)

May also discusses hydration tactics post-desert trip, humorously contemplating drinking an entire jug of water and comparing her flavored water methods to adding Skittles: "I used to put them in Coca Cola when I was a kid, and they kind of fizzled." (04:38)

Listener Question #1: First Famous Friend

The first listener, Kayla from Utah, inquires about the hosts' first famous friends and their experiences navigating those relationships.

Listener Question #2: Airplane Seating Preferences

The second question comes from Gabby in Denver, Colorado, asking about the hosts' preferred airplane seats.

• May Martin expresses her preference for aisle seats to easily access the restroom: "I'm an aisle guy... if I'm... I can spend two hours trying to, like, work up the courage to wake someone up..." (17:44).

• Tig Notaro explains her inclination towards window seats to alleviate claustrophobia and manage dizziness: "I prefer the window. That also helps with claustrophobia, and I also have issues with dizziness." (17:44)

[May Martin]

Chatting with friends on the Handsome Pod. Chatting with friends on the Handsome Pod. Pretty little episode.

[Tig Notaro]

Hello, it is your dear friend Tig Notaro sitting here with my co host.

[May Martin]

Your other dear friend, Mavis Martin.

[Tig Notaro]

Hello, Mavis Martin. How are you?

[May Martin]

I'm well, actually. I just got back from the desert.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah. What was going on there, like, minutes ago.

[May Martin]

I feel like a new person. Like, I feel like I got some sun. I. I slept in a dome.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah. You texted me a picture of the dome. Did you get. When you were in the sun, did you get nut brown?

[May Martin]

I got. I. I immediately started peeling. Like, my nose started peeling. I'm just. I don't really go not brown, but, yeah. This dome, I feel like we all got to get one for the pod. Maybe it's like a clear dome.

[Tig Notaro]

Put it on the list, Thomas.

[May Martin]

Yeah, giant pod. For the pod. For the pod. It was pretty amazing. I was like. I fell asleep looking at the stars through this clear dome. And it was a new moon, so the stars were super bright. But then, like, as soon as the sun comes up, it gets really hot. Yeah, you cook. And then I stepped on a lizard with my bare foot.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, did it die?

[May Martin]

I felt a squishy feeling, and then it died. It kind of waddled away, but I think it might die.

[Tig Notaro]

It died?

[May Martin]

Yeah, I think it might die soon.

[Tig Notaro]

May. That's. That's really bad news. How big of a lizard?

[May Martin]

Like a gecko, Little guy. Oh, God, it was awful. I feel like I've been in, like, grade five. I stepped on a snail, and I've been holding onto it ever since, like, feeling guilty.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

How are you? What's going on with you?

[Tig Notaro]

I was okay until you told me about the lizard.

[May Martin]

I'm so sorry. It's a horrible image.

[Tig Notaro]

What was that that you just lifted a jug of water.

[May Martin]

Thanks for asking. I'm gonna drink this whole jug. I feel like I gotta hydrate from the inside out after the desert. I'm really parched.

[Tig Notaro]

When did you get started yesterday, and.

[May Martin]

I've only made a small dent. Giant thing. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You're not planning on drinking that whole thing today, are you?

[May Martin]

I am, actually. Is that too. Am I going to drown?

[Tig Notaro]

I don't know. I just. Maybe it's because I'm older than you, but I would be getting up a bunch in the night. But you stay up later than I do, I think.

[May Martin]

Yeah, but I definitely get up to pee as well. But I. I also bought this stuff that you add to water to make it taste better, and it's basically sugar.

[Tig Notaro]

Taste what. What do you mean? Tastes better? You don't like the taste of water?

[May Martin]

I. I do, but I'm going to drink it more if it's a little. If it has the qualities of a juice. Oh, you got a glass of water there?

[Tig Notaro]

Yes, I do. And when Stephanie and I went to Mississippi to visit my family one time, my cousin was drinking a large, you know, whatever. It wasn't a jug, but, like, you know, those big things. Yeah, yeah, that. That can go in the cup holder, but it's like a super, super Big Gulp.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Reusable, she said. Or Stephanie said, what are you drinking? And she said, water. I've been trying to drink more water. And Stephanie was like, oh, okay, that's good. And she goes, yeah, I just throw some Skittle there. No, you're kidding me. I'm not kidding you. She throws Skittles into her water to make it taste better, so I should probably let her know about whatever it is that you're having. So she's not drinking Skittle water.

[May Martin]

I. I so can taste in my mouth. What? That tastes like Skittle water. Oh, my God. I used to put them in Coca Cola when I was a kid, and they kind of fizzled.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it's pretty fun.

[Tig Notaro]

I like Skittles, I have to say.

[May Martin]

Love a Skittle. Taste the rainbow.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I guess they're, like, really bad for you, are they? I. Apparently. Apparently they're some of the worst that you. Oh, I don't need to go in and, like, bash anybody's company. But anyway, even though they're really bad for you, my cousin uses them to make herself healthier, so I thought it works.

[May Martin]

Listen, whatever gets you through the day. Whatever gets that water into your bod. My parents only drink wine and coffee. Really? They don't drink. Yeah, they don't really drink water, but they're. They're trying. And one of the things that they did to help themselves try is they squeezed a bunch of Limes and added sugar and like, cooked it down into a kind of serum syrup. And they made their own, like, lime cordial that they mix with. With water to try to get some water down them.

[Tig Notaro]

Okay.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Now I want to go back to this dome you were sleeping in. Is it. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Is it from that Too fast?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. It's glass or plastic or.

[May Martin]

Yeah, like Perspex or something. Like some kind of plastic. Yeah, very. You feel really exposed. Like, I rented an Airbnb and then the dome was in the backyard, so my friends slept in the beds, and I slept in the dome.

[Tig Notaro]

And is the dome. What is it for? Is it.

[May Martin]

What is it looking at the stars. Sleeping.

[Tig Notaro]

Really? Yeah. So it is specifically something to go out and sleep in. You don't live in it.

[May Martin]

No.

[Tig Notaro]

You would cook.

[May Martin]

I think you. You would just bake.

[Tig Notaro]

And you have to get up early, obviously.

[May Martin]

You. Oh, man. It was nice, though. Like, you get it. The sun comes up and it. You know, like, I didn't set my alarm. I just let the sun wake me up on my face. And then you feel like you're. Yeah. In the elements, but you're not. You're safe and sound. Safe from all scorpions. And.

[Tig Notaro]

And do they have a bed set up in there? You had to bring your sleeping bag?

[May Martin]

No. Beautiful big bed, electricity, little desk. Yeah. Wow. I was thinking I gotta get a dome for my. For my place, like, in the backyard. And then I thought, if I get a dome before I get my driver's license, that's so la. Like, I can't. I gotta just learn to drive. I can't be buying domes.

[Tig Notaro]

What about a dome on wheels?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, that would be cool.

[May Martin]

It would look like little tortoises going around.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. But you can only drive at night.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. That was really cool. And now that you're explaining what it was, because you were like, oh, I slept in this last night. And I was like, oh, okay, that's cool. But I was also like, what is this? What?

[May Martin]

I don't.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, I have more questions, but I guess I'll leave it for the podcast.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But now that I know, it's very appealing to me, because I'm not.

[May Martin]

Are you much of a camper? I'm not much of a camper.

[Tig Notaro]

I used to camp more. I was in a relationship once with somebody that really liked to camp, and so we went and did that. But Stephanie is not a camper.

[May Martin]

Right.

[Tig Notaro]

However, when we were in Ojai, apparently she had a conversation with Emily Saliers from the Indigo Girls and about camping. Emily was like, we should all go camping. Or something like that. And Stephanie was like. And then it turned into glamping.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's pretty much what the domes are. It's glamping. It's. I. I think that's more our speed.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

I should be a little. I'm a Canadian. Like, I should be camping.

[Tig Notaro]

But you really should. You should be camping. What are you doing here right now?

[May Martin]

I know. Why am I not in a tent? I listen to too much true crime. And also, I don't have all the gear.

[Tig Notaro]

Were you scared in the. In the dome?

[May Martin]

I was a little scared in the dome, yeah. Because imagine if you woke up and there was just someone pressed against the glass looking in at you like you're. Who?

[Tig Notaro]

Were you in there? Were you sleeping with anyone in there?

[May Martin]

No, I was by myself.

[Tig Notaro]

Really?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

That is bold.

[May Martin]

Yeah, it felt old.

[Tig Notaro]

Were you sleeping naked?

[May Martin]

No, I slept. Actually, I slept in pajamas. And then I woke up so hot from the sun, and I was too tired to move outside, so then I did get naked. And then that. Then you're really vulnerable and you're dumb.

[Tig Notaro]

Remember the other day I was saying I feel like the coolest person taking a walk at 6:45 in the morning?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, this feels like you're kind of beating me to all of the cool early morning stuff.

[May Martin]

The first hint to the sun.

[Tig Notaro]

That would be so incredible. I think I love it. Yeah.

[May Martin]

But then definitely a fly in the ointment. When you step on a lizard, first thing as soon as you exit the dome.

[Tig Notaro]

Why'd you bring that up again?

[May Martin]

This. This poor little guy.

[Tig Notaro]

I know.

[May Martin]

They're resilient. Like their tails grow back. I'm hoping his internal organs also grew back.

[Tig Notaro]

Grow back. Yeah. Yeah. Well, should we see what our first question asker is now that we're sad?

[May Martin]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Kayla]

Hi, handsomes. My name is Kayla and I live in Utah. I was wondering who was your very first famous friend, and how did you navigate that relationship? Did you feel starstruck? Did you feel out of place? And I also want to know how you met them.

[Tig Notaro]

Hmm.

[May Martin]

Wow. That's a great question.

[Tig Notaro]

It's interesting. I know who mine is. Do you know who yours is?

[May Martin]

I'm trying to think. And was this. Was yours like before you were in the industry and stuff like that?

[Tig Notaro]

No, I was in the industry, in the entertainment industry. I just had been kind of bobbing around as just an open mic comedian, and then I did well, it's Sarah Silverman and I. The first time I met her was actually at a mutual friend's birthday party at a comedy club. And I remember we were. Oh, she said, oh, I really like your pants. And then we started talking, and then it turned out we lived kind of down the street from each other. And then everything like, what's your favorite color? All that kind of boring stuff where we were, like, laughing because we were.

[May Martin]

We were.

[Tig Notaro]

It was lining up and just hitting every time, like, no way. And then the big moment was like, I said, okay, who is your, like, favorite rock and roll female rock and roll singer?

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

And she said, chrissy Hind. And I was like, that's your girl? Yeah. And I was like, no way. And then so I. She said, yes. And her boyfriend was standing nearby, and she went and grabbed him and she said, who is my favorite, like, rock female rock singer? And he was like, chrissy Hine. And I was like, oh, yeah, thank God. It was so insane. And then she wasn't terribly famous at the time. She was just kind of, you know.

[May Martin]

Because I. I think of you guys as like, you know, similar timelines. But I guess she had come up earlier.

[Tig Notaro]

We're the same age. She's two months older than I am. But she started stand up at 17.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

And so I was. I was nowhere near getting. You know, I was still like 10 years out from starting. I mean, maybe I was 26 or something, but. But, yeah, so she started way before I did. And so, yeah, she was a known standup and doing bit parts and movies and TV and stuff. And then years later, after I had met her at that party, I was doing standup at at this place called Luna Lounge in New York. That was like, the place to perform. And when I got off stage, Sarah was so complimentary to me, and at this point, she was definitely more known. And then she asked for my number, and I remember thinking, oh, I probably won't hear from her because, you know, people are very flaky and. And she seemed like a very famous person to me. And then she called me and was like, hey, it's Sarah Silverman. Do you want to go to lunch? And I was like, sure. And then.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I love when people call each other.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, this was a long time ago.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I still miss it.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first.

[Fortune Feimster]

Like, you know, to check that when you're sharing an interesting fact from social media, you actually do some fact checking first, preferably on A reputable website.

[Tig Notaro]

Checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Savings vary, subject to terms, conditions and availability. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.

[May Martin]

I'm trying to. I'm trying to think of mine, like.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, yeah, she was like, it's Sarah. Sarah Silverman. I met you at. At Luna Park. And I was like, oh, I know who you are. I remember.

[May Martin]

I guess I'm gonna say, like, maybe Lisa Kudrow, because it was. Well, like, I. I was friends with people who were kind of England comedy scene famous or were on the panel shows and that type of thing. But for us, for this little British show, to have Lisa Kudrow flying over and then when we kind of broke through into being actual friends and, like, couldn't stop talking, that was. That was probably my first.

[Tig Notaro]

That was your first one?

[May Martin]

I think so, yeah. Good question, though. I want to hear. I want to hear the answer. I want to hear famous friends Kayla has.

[Kayla]

I am just a boring English teacher in the state of Utah, so I don't think I have any famous friends. But one time I had the opportunity to chit chat after sliding into the DMS of Tig's old roommate, Chris Fairbanks. Back before Chris had any boundaries, he would message his followers back when they messaged him on Instagram.

[May Martin]

So I've kind of felt like I.

[Kayla]

Had had a brush with fame as me and Chris talked about. Well, I don't remember, so it mustn't have been that interesting. Thanks so much, you guys. Your podcast brings me joy and keeps me sane. Thank you for doing what you do, and we all love you very, very much.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, well, thank you, Kayla. And I have to. I can't fully speak for Chris Fairbanks, but I would not be surprised, surprised if he would continue to be responding to people these days.

[May Martin]

There definitely was a moment when, when social media was new, that you could message, like, your idols on MySpace and stuff, and they would respond to you. You were, like, chatting. I mean, I had a. Yeah, I.

[Tig Notaro]

Are you sure you had their right account?

[May Martin]

I mean, I used to go on tomgreen.com and chat to. I swear, chat to Tom Green when I was like. He'd talk to all his fans.

[Tig Notaro]

That's great. I bet he still does.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I bet he does. Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah. All right, next question.

[Gabby]

Hi, Fortune, May and Tig. My name is Gabby, and I am a pretty little lady out in Denver, Colorado.

[Tig Notaro]

Nice.

[Gabby]

My question for you. Is this. If you're traveling on an airplane, do you prefer to sit in the window seat, the aisle seat, or, my goodness, the middle seat?

[Tig Notaro]

Can you imagine?

[May Martin]

Psychopath would say the middle. Oh, God. Can I say my prediction of your answer?

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah.

[May Martin]

Because I know that you get claustrophobic. I know you like to pee, so I'm gonna say aisle for you.

[Tig Notaro]

I like to pee.

[May Martin]

Yeah. That's one of your favorite things to do.

[Tig Notaro]

Oh, my God. When I am not recording, handsome, I am on the.

[May Martin]

It's one of your hobbies.

[Tig Notaro]

Well, that's a really good guess, but I do like the middle.

[May Martin]

No, just kidding. Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

No, I prefer the window. That also helps with claustrophobia, and I also have issues with dizziness. And. And it's helpful if I can open or close the window shade, you know, based on how I'm feeling.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

So, yeah, the window.

[May Martin]

I'm an. I'm an aisle guy, because my. As soon as I know that I can't pee, like, if I'm. Once I get settled and the person next to me falls asleep or something, like the anxiety, I can spend two hours trying to, like, work up the courage to wake someone up and. Oh, yeah, but I hate when you're on the aisle and then the cart goes by and knocks your elbow or.

[Tig Notaro]

Your knee or your precious little toe.

[May Martin]

Exactly.

[Tig Notaro]

It's tough stuff, May.

[May Martin]

It's tough. It's tough out there.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, it really is. Especially if you're a gecko.

[May Martin]

Oh, my God.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Should we hear the answer? Yeah, Gabby, where do you like to sit on the airplane?

[Gabby]

I do believe that there is a correct answer, but I've heard multiple different perspectives that are also valid, too. For me, I prefer the window seat. I like to tuck myself in, get my neck pillow, get my sweatshirt, and just post up there for the duration of the flight. The only negative thing is sometimes I drink too much water and I wish I was in the aisle. Thank you so much for answering my question. Hope you guys have a great week.

[May Martin]

Thanks, Gabby. Yeah. I mean, in terms of curling up, I guess. Window. Window supremacy, for sure. But.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. And you're also more private. You're just, like, wedged in there. You've got your own little dome going on.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

You know. Yeah.

[May Martin]

Have you ever taken a blanket and put it over your whole head?

[Tig Notaro]

No.

[May Martin]

Okay.

[Tig Notaro]

Go on. Let's hear the rest of the story.

[May Martin]

And over the chair in front of you, and then you have made a little tent. But then I think people will assume you're doing weird stuff. Under there and.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even if you're doing normal stuff under there, it's still weird to create a tent.

[May Martin]

Yeah. Antisocial behavior.

[Tig Notaro]

I'm pretty good about when I have to get out of the aisle, though. Even if somebody's sleeping, you step over like a. I'll step over and I'll try to not interrupt them.

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

But I'm also okay if I, if I do.

[May Martin]

Oh, right.

[Tig Notaro]

Because I feel the same. I, I, you know, if somebody needs to get out and I'm in their way, don't hold back, Tap me, step over me, ask me to get the hell out of your way. I get it.

[May Martin]

No, but there's a, There's a breaking point. It's when it's like three times in an hour, you're going to be like, are you fucking kidding? But there's nothing like trying to step over a sleeping person on a plane and you're, like, doing the splits over their lap, and then they wake up.

[Tig Notaro]

And your crotch is in their face and you're not. Or you don't even have to go to the bathroom. You just do the splits over them and just awkwardly stay there until they wake up and say, what is happening?

[May Martin]

Yeah.

[Tig Notaro]

All right, well, gosh, keep sending in these questions. They're fun to have to, like, think this stuff through.

[May Martin]

Yeah, I just, I learned about you today. I would have for sure said aisle, but it's window.

[Tig Notaro]

I learn about myself in these as well. I learned about you. Me learn nothing about Thomas. Yeah, yeah. Don't have a clue what fortune would say, but yeah. Send your questions into speakpipe.com handsomepod that is speakpipe.com handsomepod and subscribe to the podcast and the YouTube channel, because then you can see May's jug of water. Oh, it has turned nut brown.

[May Martin]

It's not brown water. I've been, I've made a little dent even as we've been recording. Check it out on YouTube. You can see the, the process.

[Tig Notaro]

Yeah. Head on over to YouTube right this second and watch that water go. You don't want to miss that either. On YouTube.

What a podcast. Podcast.

[May Martin]

What a podcast that was a headgum podcast.

[Fortune Feimster]

Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate First.

[Tig Notaro]

Like, you know to check that when you make a pop culture reference, your two co hosts know what you're talking about or else you might get caught in a classic two against one situation.

[Fortune Feimster]

Checking first is smart, so check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Savings vary, subject to terms, conditions and availability. Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates Northbrook, Illinois hi there.

[Allison Williams]

My name is Allison Williams. If you know who I am at all, it would probably be thanks to my job as an actress on shows like Girls and in movies like Megan. Recently, when I was having a moment of gratitude for my group chat, I thought, I wish everyone could have these geniuses at their fingertips like I do. Well, now you do.

[Tig Notaro]

Hi. Hi, it's Hope.

[Hope]

Hey, babe, it's Jamie.

[Allison Williams]

Welcome to our podcast Landlines, where we share our life sustaining and shame extinguishing friendship. We have known each other and we've been friends for a very long time.

[Hope]

Hope was my first best friend, but it wasn't mutual. I mean, I asked, I distinctly remember.

[Tig Notaro]

I feel so calling her on the.

[Hope]

Phone and asking if she'd sit next to me on the bus and she said maybe.

[Allison Williams]

She didn't say no, maybe he was meaner.

[Hope]

She wasn't maybe like discerning.

[Allison Williams]

When I was pregnant, I started this group chat to prepare and crowdsource and it's been such a delight to troubleshoot with our friend group. And we just had this thought, should we invite other people into our group chat?

[Hope]

I'm a therapist.

[Allison Williams]

I'm a trained early childhood educator and I'm, well, you know, whatever I am, I guess someone who has the vibe of having it all together and still the three of us find it hard to be moms, partners, friends, family members, professional women, and just, you know, adults.

[Hope]

The stuff we're talking about, whatever the recent fight was with our partner or the parenting concern we have or a funny thing with our kids or it's like, what's going on with my body? I feel like I have like a family of squirrels living in my lower abdomen. Like, I feel affirmed. I feel normalized. I feel like I'm not going forward. Crazy.

[Allison Williams]

And I had to talk it out with you guys with different perspectives and different identities that you're juggling totally. Lifelong friendship has been our lifeline. We sincerely hope our conversation makes you feel less alone in whatever you're going through. So subscribe to Landlines on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, or wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes are out now on Headgum.

[Tig Notaro]

Love you.
