Hey. Ahh! Tig! [ Laughs ]
Look at us! Look at us now. Look at this.
-Look at us. -Look at us.
-It's incredible. -Unbelievable.
Unbelievable. Incredible.
Thank you so much for coming back to the show.
I want to talk to you about something because
now you're an action star, and so I feel like --
-[ Laughs ] -Well, you are.
You're in Zack Snyder's "Army of the Dead" movie.
And we talked about that. -Yeah.
-They just released the trailer. -Mm-hmm.
-And all anyone was talking about
is how much they love Tig Notaro and how Tig Notaro is sexy A.F.
-Yes. -Yeah.
Did you -- Look -- This photo -- Look at this.
Yeah!
-[ Cheers and applause ] -The crowd loves it!
What is -- What is -- What has -- What has
life been like for this past week being sexy A.F.?
-Oh, my gosh. So much has changed, Jimmy, since --
[ Laughter ]
It's -- It's really been nuts around here
since I was trending for being sexy A.F.
-That's right. That's right.
-I didn't even know what "A.F." was, to be honest.
My friends were texting me images of Twitter.
They were like, "You're --
You're trending for being badass and sexy A.F."
And I was like, "What is that?"
-[ Laughs ] Dude, I was so happy for you.
That was fun. That's cool.
How is the family? How are the kids?
How's your wife? How's everybody?
-Everybody's good. Yeah.
You know, we're -- -What are they into?
-Well, my wife is into me now that I'm sexy A.F.
-"All right. We got it. We got it.
All right. Jesus." [ Laughs ]
-And, you know, it puts a little fire under her, you know,
for me to be trending for sexy A.F., but --
-Yeah, we heard the first four times, yeah.
-Right, but it's gonna come up again.
Trust me.
My -- My sons are really into baseball.
They are crazy about it.
My -- They -- They play all day long.
Just throwing the ball, hittin' -- hittin' the ball.
You know, baseball stuff. Catching the ball.
-Yeah, that's -- -Runnin'.
-That's basically baseball. Yeah, absolutely.
-Yeah.
And I just -- I watch on sexy A.F., of course.
-Oh, my g-- That's not --
-We -- We signed them up for Little League and --
-How old are they?
-Yeah, well, they're -- they're almost 5.
I don't know if it's Little League, actually.
I know I look like I should know these things,
but it's just T-ball.
They're in T-ball. Is that Little League?
I don't know. -No. But -- Yeah, yeah.
-It's -- It's a league. -That's great, though.
That's young to -- to start, isn't it?
That's amazing. -Yeah. And they're really good.
They both, first day, hittin' the ball out to centerfield.
And -- And all the kids are great, but to be honest,
it was a little amusing because the two gay moms
showed up with the star players.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-That's hilarious. Yeah, why not?
I think it's great.
-"Why not" is exactly our point.
A lot of, like, you know, buff dads,
and their sons couldn't quite make contact with the ball
to the bat.
And we were like, "Yeah!" with our -- with our little ones.
-Rooting against children.
Tig, I was listening to your podcast.
-Always.
-"Don't Ask Tig."
And it was the one -- It was the episode --
First of all, I love it.
Basically, you take questions from fans,
and you and a special guest give your advice
on answering those questions,
and it's really funny, and I love it, but --
-No, I know, I know. I know how the show goes.
-Oh, sorry. No. I was talking to them.
Sorry. Yeah. -Oh, oh, okay. Okay.
-But you recently had Paula Poundstone on.
And as you were talking to Paula --
-Yeah. -Gosh, I love Paula Poundstone.
As you're talking on her, you -- your -- your --
one of your boys starts yelling for you.
And -- And -- -Yeah.
He was stuck on the bathroom counter.
-So, what happened? He climbed up there and then got nervous?
-I have no idea what happened.
Look, he's a great baseball player.
-I know. We heard that. I know he is, yeah.
-He got a little --
He got a little nervous on the bathroom counter.
I don't know. I didn't have time, you know?
I had Paula Poundstone on my show, and, uh...
-Who has time to raise their kids? Exactly right.
-Yeah. I ran downstairs, grabbed him off the counter.
I was like, "Don't get on the bathroom counter!"
And then ran back up, and, you know,
did my global-hit sensation of a podcast, "Don't Ask Tig."
-Yeah. I want to talk about --
You also have another movie out called "Together Together."
-Yes. -This is with Ed Helms
and Patti Harrison, where you play a therapist.
And I was like, "Oh, it makes sense."
You did a little research to be a therapist.
That's what got the pod--
Which came first -- the podcast or the egg?
You know what I'm saying?
-No, there was no research, Jimmy.
People -- Now that I've --
I've gotten into acting over the past few years,
people always ask how I prepare for roles,
and if I'm completely honest, I don't.
My preparation is I learn my lines
to the best of my ability.
-Well, when you show up and you do something like this,
you don't need any lines.
Boom!
-Sexy A.F.
-Tig, congrats on everything. Congrats on the movies.
Congrats on the podcast. We love you.
And please come back whenever, next time hopefully in person.
Tig Notaro. -Thank you.
-Check out new episodes of her podcast, "Don't Ask Tig,"
