Hosts’ Catch Up

Mae on Life After Tour & a Wild Fan Gift

• [01:00] Mae is home from the road and sorting through gifts from fans: “99% of it is so sweet and amazing. Every once in a while I get something a little unsettling or that gets under my skin...”
• Mae describes a bizarre escape-room-style puzzle from a fan—what starts as “whimsical and enthralling” turns downright eerie:
  • She solves layers of clues referencing civil rights, drug use, and personal struggles.
  • The puzzle involves fake joints made of biblical passages condemning homosexuality and substance use.
  • The final assembled message: “Addict. Shame. Regret. Trauma.”
• “At that point, I’m like, oh, wow. I don’t know what the intention is here.” ([03:48], Mae)
• Mae maintains humor despite the awkwardness: “I love a puzzle...but it was sort of in bad taste.” ([04:03], Mae)

Tig’s Perspective on Puzzles & Tour Adjustments

• Tig’s take: “Oh my God. Do you know how quickly that would have been in the trash for me?” ([03:59], Tig)
• The duo jokes about strange tour gifts and what they’d change if they went on tour again, including bus vs. hotel stints. Mae realizes the appeal of “camping out with your friends” but proposes shorter stretches next time.

Sleep Struggles and Travel Exhaustion

Comedy Life Is Not All Glam

• [05:42] Tig recounts a surprisingly fun airport delay with friends-of-friends—contrasting the everyday stress of touring and her current producer duties: “I don’t know that I have the nervous system for these (logistics)...It’s hard.”
• Camping is appealing in theory, but both agree sleep is too precious to risk: “Don’t you find, like, I really found this on tour...I haven’t slept more than four hours for a week and...I feel crazy.” ([08:01], Mae)
• Tig acknowledges: “I’m here on three hours and I’m doing my best...Meanwhile, I’ve got a great life, and I really don’t want to complain because I’m a lucky, lucky ducky.” ([09:04], Tig)
• Update: Tig is now CPAP-free and tries to keep her schedule in sync with LA while traveling.

Listener Questions

1. When Did You Feel Like an Adult?

Listener Justin asks: “At what age did you officially feel that you had reached adulthood?” ([10:10])

Mae’s Answer

• Only felt like an adult in the last two years—meeting Parvati (her partner) was a confidence boost, but “I still have days where I feel really adolescent. Everyone must, right?”
• “Driving really changed everything for me...I catch a glimpse of myself...and I think, there goes a big boy.” ([11:12], Mae)

Tig’s Answer

• Deep adulthood only arrived after a health crisis and loss of her mother: “Around the 40, 41 time when I was getting sick, losing my mother...coming back from just the depths of hell and taking life more seriously.”
• She notes maturing through relationships, marriage, and parenthood: “Getting married and having children and being so devoted...it matures you.” ([13:55], Tig)
• “If I came through those different bumps in my life and just felt still deeply carefree...there would be something terribly wrong with me.” ([14:10], Tig)

Justin’s Own Reflection

• “There are times where I still feel like I’m twelve years old.” ([16:19], Justin)

Additional Reflections

• Mae details flashbacks to middle school insecurity, especially during public events and photos: “I just, in my body, suddenly felt like I was in middle school...posing for the picture just to just—we’re smiling...and then I see online all these comments like ‘Mae’s body language is not good.’” ([16:41], Mae)
• Tig relates this to her own awkwardness on the Drew Barrymore Show: “[I] look like I’ve not ever interacted with a human being before...the robotic distance when I’m touched.” ([17:26], Tig)

2. What Breaks 'Immersion' in TV and Movies for You?

Listener Amy’s question: “Is there anything about a production that seems off or wrong and once you notice it, you just can’t let it go?” ([18:11])

Mae’s Answer

• Plot holes and choppy edits take her out of the story—recent example: “Dead of Winter” with Emma Thompson. The editing left so much unexplained, it was distracting.

Tig’s Answer

• Overly stylized, self-aware writing and direction: “[Some] writers or directors...are so popular...I feel like I’m reading a script.” ([19:58], Tig)
• Reality TV is especially hard: “I looked across the aisle, this man was watching something on Bravo...I was like, I can see that this is not really happening.” ([20:23], Tig)
• Critiques “curated” social moments on TV and Instagram: “This is the best of times...Highlight of my life...but also they’re probably fighting with their husband. Their kid has diarrhea or something.” ([23:47], Tig)

Mae’s Addition

• “I was at a party...someone said, let me get a picture...she’s just going to, like, opening her mouth and no sound’s coming out, so she’s just pretend screaming.” ([22:11], Mae)
• On stylized directors: “I’ll name names—Wes Anderson...now feels like a parody of a Wes Anderson movie...all about the color scheme.” ([24:04], Mae)
• Wardrobe and hairstyles that would never realistically be worn break immersion, too.

Amy’s Own Pet Peeve

• “It never looks like people have liquid in the cups they’re holding...It’s always in cop shows, they’ve got hot coffee. It’s clearly never hot coffee.” ([25:00], Amy)

Tig’s Favorite TV/Film Pet Peeve

• No one ever says “goodbye” on the phone in movies/TV: “People are like, ‘Okay, I’ll be there,’ and then they just hang up.” ([25:44], Tig)

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

[C]

Hi, it's your friend Tig.

[A]

Hi. And it's your friend. May as well.

[C]

Yeah. And we're here on the pretty little episode of the Handsome podcast. Just catching up.

[A]

Catching up. Elated to be catching up.

[C]

How are you adjusting to being off the road?

[A]

Oh, man, I'm still going through all the stuff that people gave me. And it's. And it's. It is wild and like 99% of it is so sweet and amazing. Every once in a while I get something a little unsettling or that gets under my skin and like what? Well, Tig, I got this. And I don't know if someone's listening. Who made this? I think the intention, they for sure

[C]

are that if they gave you something, they're for sure they're listening.

[A]

Oh, then I feel bad. But it was strange. It was a puzzle. So it was like this sealed, very like escape, roomy puzzle that needed a code and it came with a written clue that was like the code, it's an eight letter word. It's something meaningful to you. And then the clue was like, the state of Georgia was one of the first states to like, something about civil rights or something. Anyway, so I sat with it for a long time. I was like, this is very whimsical and enthralling to me. Then I cracked it. It was feel good because George and Georgia, there's a character called George. I put feel good and I open it up and it's another puzzle and it's two little things.

[C]

And.

[A]

But then this clue was quite strange. It was like I was like, I haven't. I'm not a big fan of yours. But it said, I. It was like, I'm not really a devoted fan, but I know you used to do drugs and this clue is about all the things you were running from or trying to suppress by self medicating with drugs.

[C]

So that first of all can you imagine the gift that would have been given if they were a massive fan? Yes. Yes.

[A]

So I was like, that's a little personal, but. And a little flippant, but also maybe that, you know, people are, you know, and. And maybe they. They like the show feel good. I don't know. But then I open up these little things that are inside the puzzle, and there's fake cigarettes and fake joints, and I unroll them all, and the joints are made out of biblical passages from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, which is like, man should not lie with another man as he would with a woman. You should not drink wine. It's like the most kind of evangelical strict stuff. So I'm like, oh, I'm feeling a little uneasy about that. And then I tape them all together because it's kind of a puzzle. And on the back of it, once I tape it together, it's like, addict, shame, regret, trauma. And I'm like, oh, boy. So at that point, I'm like, oh, wow. I don't know what the intention is here.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And then there's another letter in code. And so I decoded that. And also the whole time I'm like, should I just stop doing this? But, yeah, I can't, because I love a puzzle.

[C]

And.

[A]

And sure.

[C]

Oh, my God. Do you know how quickly that would have been in the trash for me?

[A]

But they went to so much trouble. But it was sort of in. In. In bad taste because I was like, I now have this jar of fake joints made out of Bible passages. You know what I mean? But listen. And then also in their letter, they were like, this probably wasn't received well or something. So it was like they knew that I was going to be unsettled by it. But that's sort of. I've been spending a lot of time going through the 99% of the things are so thoughtful and amazing. And this was very thoughtful.

[C]

Well, that was thoughtful.

[A]

Very thoughtful.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

But it was sort of eerie as well. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

It just. All it does is remind me of how much I hate a game and a puzzle. A puzzle, yeah.

[A]

Loved the puzzle element of it, but it was just seeing addict in big letters and like. Yeah. Because it was like all of these things that you're running from, they add up to one thing. And the answer was addict. And I was like, yeah, okay. Anyway, on with my dad.

[C]

Yeah. To my dream catchers.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. But it was. It's nice being off tour, but I am. I do sort of. I'm now Daydreaming about how I would do it next time.

[C]

How you would do your tour next.

[A]

Yeah, what I would change about it?

[C]

What would you change?

[A]

Everything. No, I just would.

[C]

Maybe no bus.

[A]

I think I might do bus again, you know, But I would just do shorter stints with long breaks in between because there is something nice about feeling like you're camping out with your friends. But yeah, I wouldn't be doing weeks at a time on the bus for sure. I would just do like long weekends or something.

[C]

I can't imagine the trouble I have sleeping when I travel now. If I were on a bus, I feel like I'd be camping. I know there were these friends of mine that I ran into who are the wives of old friends of mine from the comedy world. And it was interesting because I've had some really hard, stressful work, things going on. Overwhelmingly hard. Stressful. Oh, yes.

[A]

We need to jump off pod. I need to hear all this.

[C]

But it's just, it's producer things that I'm. I'm just like, I. I don't know that I can. I don't know that I have the nervous system for these.

[A]

Yes. Kind of things like logistical juggling and

[C]

just business, business, business stuff. Anyway. And it's. It's hard. Why was I saying that?

[A]

Oh, you bumped into the wives of old friends Earth.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And. Okay, thanks. And I was, I. We all missed. We happened to be on a flight. We missed our connecting flight. We were delayed. We were on the tarmac. We were seated by each other. We had such a carefree. It could have been hell, you know, but we had this fun carefree connecting time in our delayed flight and like laughing and not talking about anything entertainment related, just silliness. And they have this yearly camping trip they do with this group of women. You know, it's like 15 women that go. And they were. They kept saying, like, you need to join us, you and Stephanie. And I was like, well, first of all, Stephanie will never camp anywhere. That's not going to happen. No, it will never happen. And I was like, I was sitting there thinking, like, I would love to do that, but I don't know if I could sleep.

[A]

I know.

[C]

I don't know if I could sleep if I was camping. But the joy that they were experiencing and they do it every year and the laughs I was having with them, it was so nice.

[A]

It was worth a couple of nights of. No, but yeah, sleep is so precious. And then don't you find, like, I really found this on tour. And you must Find it all the time because you struggle to sleep. Like, people, their empathy runs out for it. Like, they sort of lose. And you're like, I can't explain really, that I haven't slept more than four hours for a week. And it's. I feel crazy. And people are like, oh, yeah, sleeping's hard. And you're like, you don't get it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, I know I look fine, but I'm hanging on by a thread.

[C]

Like, and to learn, like, when I'm touring and then I'm also working up to filming something and I'm having to learn lines and I'm traveling and I'm on different time zones and I haven't slept and I have these zooms about production stuff that's so stressful. I'm, like, at a party or a taping or on stage, Like, I'm giving it all I've got, but I'm struggling. I'm struggling.

[A]

My mind is fracturing.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, you're, like, deeply fractured. I'm here on three hours and I'm doing my best. I'm doing my best. And also, meanwhile, I've got a great life and I really don't want to complain because I'm a lucky, lucky ducky.

[A]

Yeah, I feel that too. But also, you're just one little body, you know?

[C]

I am one little body and I'm doing my best. And, you know, when I'm home on longer runs, I'm. I'm sleeping pretty well.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

These days. But when I head off into the world, it's tough. It's tough.

[A]

And no CPAP these days.

[C]

Got rid of the CPAP and just really focusing on keeping my schedule as close to what it is in LA when I'm gone, just so I can ease back in. And I don't stress when I'm out late on the east coast because I'm like, that's a normal time in la.

[A]

Oh, that's good.

[C]

Yeah. So. But anyway, enough about that. Should we get into our questions?

[A]

Let's do it.

[C]

Let's do it.

[D]

Hello, handsome Pod. This is Justin from Essex, Massachusetts. I have a question for you. And my question is, at what age did you officially feel that you had reached adulthood?

[C]

Good question.

[A]

Oh, man. I. I've. I mean, I'm. I'm only maybe feeling that in the past two years. Probably. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Maybe meeting poverty and living with. With Parvanama for that. That was a big. Well, it boosted my confidence where I thought, yeah, yeah, so that that was. But I still have days where I feel really adolescent. I. Everyone must, right? Driving really changed everything for me. Just optically, I see myself. I catch a glimpse of myself in a reflection. I'm driving my car past a store, and I think, there goes a big boy.

[C]

Just that big boy is just rolling down the road.

[A]

Yeah. Rolling down the road.

[B]

Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking my itinerary before I head to Europe for some shows. How do I say oh, no in Dutch? I forgot to book a hotel room in Amsterdam, and now I'm scrambling to find something last minute.

[A]

Yeah, check in first is handsome. So check Allstate first for an auto quote. It could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Potential savings vary, subject to terms, conditions and availability. Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. How about you, Ting?

[C]

I. Sometimes when I feel most adolescent is when I'm really having a deep, silly laugh with someone.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But in general, I felt, I think, like an adult. I think my life just changed so deeply after I was sick. And so, yeah, it was like around the 40, 41 time when I was getting sick. Sick when I was sick. Losing my mother and all of that stuff and coming back from just the depths of hell and taking life more seriously in the ways that it called for, that I wasn't doing. And I wasn't taking my career seriously. I wasn't. I wasn't taking my health seriously. I wasn't taking my relationships, romantic relationships, I just didn't take very seriously. Even if I fell for someone or enjoyed them, I wasn't. I was just always like, well, nurturing

[A]

the relationship and caring for it.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. And even friendships. I didn't step back and go, God, I'm lucky to have you. I am so appreciative. And I think all of those things of really getting that perspective and holding onto it has made me feel like an adult. And, of course, getting married and having children and being so devoted to this is a tough time. But nobody else I'd rather have the toughest time with or, you know, enjoy and worry about our children and. But also the greatest times with Stephanie, all of that stuff just like, I'm in it. I'm in it. And it's. It matures you.

[A]

Yeah. And that. That thing of going to the depths and then coming out again, that's like the classic hero journey, right? You. You. You go deep down and then you. You retrieve something, you come back with some gem of depth or wisdom.

[C]

And, yeah, I would feel Insane. If I came through those different bumps in my life and just felt still deeply carefree.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And removed, there would be something terribly wrong with me.

[A]

I think it can be kind of alienating sometimes when you've been through something so extreme and then not everyone can hold it, you know, and. And I've. I felt that in my teens and stuff, like, after, like, people sort of recoiling from the depth of it or what. Or the intensity of having to talk about it or feel it, and. And then it makes you gravitate towards other people with that. That depth, I think.

[C]

Well, yeah, it's like, even a friend of mine, he's. He's been struggling with his health the past three months. Like, deeply, deeply struggling with his health. And he texted me yesterday saying that. That his surgery was successful. And then he went into the details that he's been going through, that he no longer. He had these tubes removed. He had this. You know, he no longer has to do this and that. And I was saying to him, yeah, it's like when you're really sick or you're hospitalized, people just put this. And, no, it's nobody's fault, but they put this blanket idea of, like, yeah, they're sick. But when you break down the details of hell that he's been going through, invasiveness, the. And the inability to take a deep breath because of what's going on with his lungs, and just having shallow, shallow breaths every day for three months, and you can feel it from him. He's just so thankful for the support and coming through it, and there's no way he's not gonna have a very different perspective in this life. But anyway, that's when I felt like I matured.

[A]

That makes sense. Do we hear Justin's answer?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I am 36, have a good career, a great husband, a wonderful dog. We're actually out for a walk right now, and there are times where I still feel like I'm 12 years old. All right, thank you, handsome. Appreciate you all. Keep it handsome.

[A]

I mean, the middle school age, that is where I go if I'm feeling insecure. Like our. I. Yeah, I went to an event with. I want to. Actually, I'll talk about it on the main pod, but I'll say, like, I went to an event with Harvardy, and so they wanted a picture of us. And then I. I just, in my body suddenly felt like I was in middle school, and I was like, please look in this picture. Please look in this picture. And I was posing for the picture just to just. We're smiling. It's a nice picture. And then I see online all these comments like, mace, body language is not good. May looks like not happy in this picture. I'm like, no, I just was so tense and like thinking about wanting to look good in the picture that I do look like I just met Parvati.

[C]

That reminds me of when I was on did I talk to you about or maybe I showed you this picture when I was on Drew Barrymore's show. When we're hugging, I look like I've not ever interacted with a human being before. Like the, the robotic distance when I'm touched. And it's of course highlighted because she is Drew Barrymore and she is so touchy feely and vicious and. Yeah. And I'm just like, hello, Drew, good to see you.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It is the weirdest picture I've ever seen in my life of human contact.

[A]

Can you send it?

[C]

I will send it to you. Yes, indeed. I will send it.

[A]

Great. Let's hear another one.

[C]

Oh, yes, let's, let's, let's.

[E]

Hi, Fortunate, it's Amy from Brooklyn, New York, originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand. I have a question for you related to film or television. When you're watching something, is there anything about a production that sometimes seems off or wrong and once you notice it, you just can't let it go? You see it all the time. I'm really interested in your answers as entertainment insiders. Thank you.

[A]

So often for me, I'm taken out of, out of, you know, the world of the thing by some. I mean, I just watched this movie Dead of Winter with Emma Thompson, who I love. And it looks like my kind of movie because it was like this woman in Alaska. She's in the middle of snowy ice place and she sees that a girl has been kidnapped and she, it's up to her and she's like a kind of Fargo esque woman. And there were so many massive plot holes, it made no sense. This, this movie, it was so wild and I couldn't follow it. And then you could tell that in the edit that big things had been taken out or it was just, it just made no sense. And then. Yeah, that's the end of that story. But.

[C]

And so that's what she's asking is like when we're watching something.

[A]

Yeah. Like, is there something that takes you out, like continuity or like, I mean, and Emma Thompson was great in this movie, but.

[C]

Well, I mean, there are some writers or directors that shall remain nameless that are so, so popular.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And I. I feel they're writing and directing too much. I can feel that they're trying to have a style. And I understand some people just have a style, but. Or when I'm watching. I've watched their stuff.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I feel like I'm reading a script. Like, I can see. I can see it. Or I've seen. Okay. Oh, perfect example. I was flying back to LA yesterday, and I looked across the aisle, and this. This man was watching something on Bravo, and it was clearly a reality show where, you know, blonde women were drinking wine or champagne, and then something was happening, and then they were clearly being interviewed about what was happening before. And I was just like. I had to turn away. I was like, oh, my God. Like, I. I can't watch this. I can see that this is not really happening. Oh.

[A]

Even from just watching on someone else's screen, you could see that kind of.

[C]

I know that I can feel the setup from the producers. Yeah. Where they're just like, okay, you guys look like you're celebrating right now and that you're having fun. And that's that whole thing that goes back to the Instagram element of, like, everything is curated. People are. This is. This is the best of times. This is my best picture. This is the highlight of my life. This is the. And I. You know, again, as I've said before, maybe I'll be tick tock tig tomorrow, but I just. I'm so rejecting that and it. And that was such an example of. When I was watching it, I was thinking, like, I know what they're saying behind the camera. They're like, okay, guys, and then let's lift your glasses and let's look like everybody's having a good time right now. And, you know, and it's. And I just. I can't. I can't.

[A]

That reminds me of this. I used to be friends with someone. I mean, I'm not. Not friends with them now, but this is when I lived in England, and I would see pictures of them and be like, God, their life looks fun. Because in all the pictures, their mouth is open. They're kind of screaming at a party. It's like, wow. And I was like, whoa, fun. And then I was at a party, and someone said, let me get a picture of you guys with. With this person. And I see that she is just going to, like, opening her mouth and no sounds coming out, so she's just pretend screaming. And yes, all that time, I thought that they were catching her, like, right in the middle of a big scream. But it was just her. And so in the photo, I'm just, like, smiling neutrally, and she's like. But there was no sound coming out fully.

[C]

Those are those things, like, when you see people in those pictures or. And you. And you see them in real life taking a picture, they have their go to looks, they have their go to responses, and it's just like wanting to show I'm having a great time always. And I know that's what a lot of social media is about, but it's. It's.

[A]

I just feel so bad for kids who don't know that that's not real. And so they think, God, my life must be really sad, because adults don't

[C]

know it's real either.

[A]

No, you're right. You're right.

[C]

It's not just children. Adults are like, I'm jealous. I want to be at that party. I want to be on a vacation on that island. I want to be whatever it is that they're seeing. And I'm sure people are having a great time on that island and that boat and that. All of those things that they're doing. But they're also probably fighting with their husband.

[A]

Totally.

[C]

Their kid is not diarrhea or something.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

It's just. You have to, you know, take it for what it is and realize that they're also having the same conflicts and issues that you are.

[A]

And then you're right about the director thing. Like, I. I mean, I'll name names. Elsa. I'm gonna say that I love the Royal Tenenbaums and a couple of those early Wes Anderson movies I love. And then now it feels like a parody of a Wes Anderson movie. It's like, it's so mannered and. And they don't have the same heart or something. They're not as affecting because it's all about the color scheme and the quirky music. And I. Yeah, that happens a lot, I think, where someone becomes celebrated for one style, and then they end up just doing a version of that that isn't as authentic. Yeah. Oh, another thing is just hairstyles and things or wardrobe, where you go, no one would wear that or no one would have their hair like that.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And you can see the stylist, the wardrobe person, being like, okay, they're going to wear a puffy vest and a.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No more puffy vests in Hollywood.

My answer to this question is it doesn't ever look like people have liquid in the cups they're holding. They're waving around. It's always in cop shows. They've got hot coffee. It's clearly never hot coffee. And I think they need to put some kind of liquid in the cups to make it look, like, a little weighty. Once I see it, I can't not see it. It's everywhere. I love you guys. It's the best part of the week. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Bye.

[C]

Thank you. Amy. Yes. Fill those cups up.

[A]

Fill those cups up. Is it that hard? Also, when people turn the lights off at night in their bedroom, and then it's blue light, like bright blue artificial light.

[C]

Do you know what drives me nuts Is on TV and film, nobody ever says goodbye on the phone.

[A]

You're right.

[C]

People are like, okay, I'll be there.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And then they just hang out.

[A]

What time? Where? Where are we meeting?

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they never say goodbye.

[A]

That's so true.

[C]

Ever. Ever. All right, I'm gonna tell you where I'm gonna be.

What a podcast. What a podcast. That was a headgum podcast. Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. Not checking the rules before I play laser tag. My mistake. Now I'm getting sternly reprimanded by the teenage manager for running in the maze.

[B]
