HOW ARE YOU, TIG?

THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE WORLD?

ARE YOU WELL AND ARE YOU COPING?

>> I AM COPING, AND I AM WELL.

OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE OUT

IN THE WORLD.

I'M FEELING POSITIVE ABOUT POSSIBILITIES AND

CHANGES -- >> James: YEAH.

>> BUT, YEAH, ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD.

>> James: WELL, THAT'S GOOD.

I'M THRILLED.

WE'VE ALL BEEN SPENDING TIME IN OUR HOUSE.

AND YOU, LIKE MANY OF US, HAVE BEEN SPENDING TIME

WITH YOUR WIFE AND YOUR TWINS.

WHAT HAVE YOU ALL LEARNED ABOUT EACH OTHER DURING

THIS TIME?

>> WELL (laughing), WE'VE LEARNED, I THINK,

THAT WE REALLY DO LOVE EACH OTHER.

[LAUGHTER] >> AND WE'VE ALSO LEARNED

THAT -- I GUESS I'M A -- I GUESS I'M A QUIET WALKER,

OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE MY WIFE, NO MATTER WHEN SHE

SEES ME LEAVE THE ROOM, WHATEVER ROOM IT IS IN, NO

MATTER HOW LONG I'M GONE, EVERY TIME I COME BACK AND

I TURN THE CORNER, SHE'S LIKE, OH, GOSH, YOU SCARED

ME.

[LAUGHTER] >> AND I'M, LIKE, I LIVE

HERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING ON IN OUR HOUSE?

YEAH.

NO MATTER WHAT.

AND I'M THERE ALL OF THE TIME.

I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE MARCH 13th, AND STILL,

OH, GOSH!

>> James: IT IS A LONG TIME TO BE IN LOCKDOWN

WITH A PARTNER.

I SAID TO MY WIFE A WHILE AGO, I WAS, LIKE, NORMALLY

IF WE'RE APART, WE'LL SORT OF SPEND TIME -- WE'LL

MAKE PLANS TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER.

AND I ACTUALLY SAID TO HER THE OTHER DAY, DOES THIS

MEAN THAT -- AFTER THIS IS FINISHED, WE MAKE PLANS TO

SPEND TIME APART?

AND SHE WAS, LIKE, I HOPE SO.

[LAUGHTER] >> James: BUT WE HAVE

KIDS IN OUR HOUSE, AND AROUND ABOUT THE AGE OF

YOURS, BECAUSE YOUR TWINS ARE FOUR.

HOW IS IT BEING IN THE HOUSE WITH THEM 24/7?

>> IT'S -- IT'S GOOD.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO KIND OF GET CREATIVE.

LUCKILY THEY'RE BOTH INTO THE SAME THINGS AT THE

SAME TIME.

>> James: GREAT.

>> THE TV SHOWS, THE TOYS.

THEY'RE INTO THE EXACT SAME THINGS.

AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE MANY PEOPLE WE'VE BEEN ORDERING

A LOT, YOU KNOW, WITH WHATEVER WE NEED IN THE

HOUSE.

>> James: SURE.

>> AND OUR SON, MAX, HAS THIS LARGE CALCULATOR THAT

HIS GRANDFATHER GAVE HIM.

AND HE THINKS IT'S HIS iPAD, SO HE SPENDS A

LOT OF TIME ORDERING LEGOS, AND WE HAVE THIS

WINDOW IN THE FRONT OF OUR HOUSE, WHERE WE GO AND

CHECK FOR DELIVERIES.

AND EVEN IF I'M NOT EXPECTING SOMETHING, I

ALWAYS WALK OUT TO THE WINDOW AND SEE IF I'VE

GOTTEN SOMETHING.

AND I NOTICED THAT -- WELL, IT'S NOT HARD TO

MISS, BUT MAX WILL WALK OUT TO THE WINDOW WITH HIS

CALCULATOR, AND HE'LL BE, LIKE, WHERE THE HELL IS MY

PACKAGE?

[LAUGHTER] >> AND SO HE IS ALWAYS

LOOKING FOR THESE LEGOS HE IS ORDERING.

AND HE WOULD BE, LIKE, I ORDERED THESE DAMN THINGS

A WEEK AGO.

THAT'S A NEW DEVELOPMENT.

THERE IS A LOT OF CURSING IN THE HOUSE.

WE JUST DON'T CORRECT HIM.

>> James: I KNOW WHY.

IT IS FUNNY WHEN A CHILD CURSES.

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS.

>> IT IS THE CUTEST THING.

>> James: WHAT SORT OF CURSING ARE WE TALKING

ABOUT?

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING.

>> I MEAN, CAN I SAY IT.

OKAY (bleep).

THE ONLY TIME MY SON, FINN, CURSES IS WHEN HE

TELLS ON MAX AND HE SAYS MAX (bleep).

AND IT IS THE CUTEST THING.

AND MY WIFE, SHE DOES NOT EDIT HERSELF AT ALL.

AND I USED TO -- I DON'T EVEN TRY TO HELP ANYMORE.

I USED TO SAY, STEPHANIE, BUT SHE'S LIKE, WHO CARES?

THERE IS A LOT OF TRYING TO GET HIMSELF UP ON THE

CHAIR, AND HE'LL BE, LIKE, (bleep).

[LAUGHTER] >> IT'S A REAL JOY.

[LAUGHTER] >> BUT I TAKE CREDIT FOR

TEACHING THEM WORDS AREN'T EXACTLY THE WORD.

IT'S JUST -- >> James: GO ON.

>> IT IS A WORD REMOVED.

LIKE SOMEBODY IS HAVING A BEER.

I'LL SAY -- I'LL CALL IT A BREWSKI, AND SO NOW MY

SONS ASK, YOU KNOW, IF I WANT A BREWSKI OR IF

STEPHANIE WANTS A BREWSKI.

OR HE'LL COME IN AND SAY, ARE YOU HAVING A BREWSKI?

I LIKE THAT.

I LIKE TEACHING THEM WORDS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO,

FOR SURE, LEARN AT FOUR.

>> James: MY DAUGHTER IS SIX, AND SHE SAID TO MY

WIFE, WHEN SHE WAS FIVE -- THEY WERE IN THE CAR, AND

SHE SAID, MOMMY, YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW A SWEAR WORD.

I KNOW A BAD WORD.

AND JOSIE IS LIKE, WHAT WOULD DO YOU KNOW?

AND SHE SAID, I'M SCARED TO SAY IT.

JOSIE SAID YOU CAN SAY IT AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT

WHY IT'S BAD.

AND SHE WENT, ARE YOU SURE?

AND THEN KAY WENT, SHE'S A BITCH.

[LAUGHTER] >> James: SHE'S A BITCH.

AND WE HAD TO WORK OUT WHERE SHE HEARD IT FROM.

AND WE REALIZED SHE ALMOST CERTAINLY HEARD IT FROM MY

WIFE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER MOM AT THE SCHOOL.

AND IT REALLY UNRAVELED.

[LAUGHTER] >> James: NOW, LET'S

TALK ABOUT YOUR NOW PODCAST, "DON'T ASK KATE."

AND IT'S ESSENTIALLY AN ADVICE SHOW.

WHAT KIND OF ADVICE DO YOU LIKE TO GIVE ON THE SHOW?

>> WELL, I LIKE TO GIVE ANY SORT OF ADVICE.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING HELPFUL TO PEOPLE, LIKE SO

MANY OTHERS ALIVE, I'VE BEEN THROUGH MY SHARE OF

STUFF.

AND I FEEL LIKE I CAN TAKE MY EXPERIENCE AND SHARE

THAT.

BUT I ALSO HAVE COMEDIANS COME ON, AND THINGS GO A

LITTLE OFF-TRACK AND THERE IS A LOT OF NONSENSE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD WILL FARRELL AND REGGIE

WATTS FROM YOUR SHOW.

>> James: I'M AWARE OF HIM.

I'M AWARE OF HIS WORK.

>> SARAH COOPER, IRA GLASS, INDIGO GIRLS.

EDIE PERKEL, WHO WROTE THE THEME SONG.

>> James: YOU'VE BEEN ASKED WHAT TO NAME A PET.

AND DAVE, A PRODUCER ON OUR SHOW -- DAVE JUST GOT

A DOG.

AND YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT CALLING IT MOJO?

>> THE RESCUE I GOT IT FROM, THE DOG CAFE, THEY

NAMED HIM MOJO -- >> THAT'S TERRIBLE.

>> IT'S VERY DIVISIVE.

>> YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DIVISIVE.

>> James: WHAT ABOUT THIS, KATE?

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS DOG?

ANY ADVICE?

>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THE SEGMENT IS CALLED "NAME

THAT THING."

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR THAT

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF "NAME THAT THING."

>> James: YEAH.

[LAUGHTER] >> WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL THAT -- LOOK HOW EAGER IT LOOKS

FOR A NEW NAME.

>> James: WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE DOG.

>> HE IS INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY AND OBSESSED WITH

TENNIS BALLS.

DOESN'T REALLY CARE FOR OTHER DOGS, BUT LOVES

PEOPLE.

>> HERE IS MY GUT -- HE IS ADORABLE AND HE LOOKS VERY

FIS SOPHISTICATED IN HIS OWN LITTLE, TINY WAY.

SO MY FEELING -- AND I HAVEN'T BEEN WRONG.

I NAMED MY FIRST CHILD NEVER.

AND I NAMED A CHILD TUCKER ON MY SHOW.

AND I NAMED ANOTHER PERSON'S DOG DR. BECKY

HEINZ, AFTER CHERYL HEINZ'S SISTER.

SO HERE GOES MY THIRD NAMING --

>> James: OKAY.

>> LITTLE SIR.

>> James: LITTLE SIR.

>> PRETTY GOOD.

>> HOW COULD YOU CONTINUE TO CALL THIS DOG MOJO WHEN

YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN LITTLE SIR?

[LAUGHTER] >> HERE IS WHAT YOU DON'T

NAME IT -- THERE IS A VERY UNFORTUNATE SITUATION IN

MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE SOMEBODY NAMED THEIR DOG

PARTY GIRL.

>> James: OH, NO.

>> SO THIS WOMAN COMES OUT OF HER HOUSE AND YELLS,

COME OVER HERE, PARTY GIRL.

PARTY GIRL, IS IT.

SO I SAY LITTLE SIR.

>> James: LITTLE SIR.

WELL, THERE WE GO.

WE'VE NAMED THE DOG.

AND YOU CAN CHECK OUT NEW EPISODES OF "DON'T ASK

KATE" EVERY WEDNESDAY WHEREVER IT IS YOU MIGHT

HAPPEN TO FIND YOUR PODCAST.

STICK AROUND.
