- Hi, welcome to Under A Rock With Tig Notaro.

I don't watch a lot of TV or movies,

so I'm pretty terrible at

recognizing a lot of celebrities,

and this is a talk show where I interview celebrities,

trying to figure out who they are.

So, please welcome

this person.

Hit me, hit me.

- If you were a super hero,

I'm assuming you're not,

but if you were, what would your power be?

- This is so cliche, but I mean,

to be able to fly would be, would be great.

- I mean, I'm scared of flying,

so that would be a nightmare.

- The fear of flying is like, oh it's the plane exploding,

but if the plane explodes you're like, eh, pssh.

You just fly away. (audience laughs)

- So, you think if the plane explodes,

I'm gonna make it out and be like,

well listen,

off I go?

- Well, I don't know that you'll have to

flap your wings or your hands.

I don't know that that's why you don't fly.

- I would love it if that's what your superhero was.

- Yeah, keep flapping his hands.

- Yeah, it's like, you're really cool,

but uh, there's a downside.

(audience laughs)

- Are you asking me to answer this question?

Like, do you want me to answer this question?

- Yeah. - Gotcha.

Were you known as funny as as kid?

- I mean, I think so.

- Were people like, this guy!

- I mean, I don't know, it's very possible.

I definitely have a very strong memory

of a very cute girl when I was in 3rd grade

being like,

you're weird.

And I actually remember thinking in that moment,

I am weird, and I like it.

- You don't seem weird.

- Me? - [Tig] Yeah.

- Oh, dude, I'm so weird. (audience laughs)

- Being weird is great. - [Glenn] Yeah.

- I hate when people say you're weird.

- It's not a compliment!

- No, and it's a conversation stopper.

- Yeah, it is yes, yes it is. - Yeah.

Because what do you,

when somebody's like, you're weird.

Gee, thanks.

(audience laughs) - Yeah, that's not--

- You tweet about smoothies? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I like smoothies. (audience laughs)

Yeah.

- Are you famous for your smoothie tweets?

- No, but I was tweeting about smoothies recently,

and I got hit up a lot.

Like, people were like, okay, let's get down to it.

Lemme find out what this guy's all about

when it comes to smoothies, 'cause I think

a lot of people are intrigued by

smoothies, and I think--

- Okay, you're weird. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. - You are weird.

What's your best, best smoothie?

- Honestly it would take too long

to list the number of ingredients.

It takes, my wife makes fun of me because,

'cause it takes me 20 to 25 minutes to make my smoothie.

- And do you, so, this is for health?

- Yeah, yeah. - And do you feel

like you're in good shape and healthy?

- I mean, I don't feel that good.

I feel like I should feel better.

- [Tig] Even after-- - Based on what I'm doing

in terms of, like, my diet, I should feel better.

But I have this one friend in particular,

and I'm not gonna say who she is 'cause it might

give away who I am. - Ooh.

- [Glenn] 'Cause I actually think you know her.

- Really? - Yeah.

Something makes me think,

I think you guys are friends, maybe.

- Is she gay? - No.

- Oh, people always do that to me.

- No, no, no, no.

You know every gay person, right?

- [Tig] Yeah, right? - 'Cause you're gay.
