Summary

Tig’s guests are actor Bob Odenkirk, star of “Better Call Saul,” and his daughter, artist and illustrator Erin Odenkirk. The duo talk about what inspired them to write their new children’s book, “Zilot & Other Important Rhymes.” Bob opens up about how difficult it was for him starting out in comedy and the lessons that taught him. Then the three advise a mother who is concerned about her eight-year-old using sarcasm in school, and assign penance to a listener who confessed to stealing a tomatillo plant from a neighbor’s garden.

0:00.0	Friends, today's guests introduced their new children's book. It got me thinking of my own

0:30.8	an Amelia Bedelia book and as an adult wonder now if that informed, I mean it must have informed
0:40.2	some part of my sense of humor or if just that was already in me and then this book spoke to me.
0:47.6	But either way, I cannot recommend Amelia Bedelia enough. I just thought I would share that with you.
0:55.2	What is your favorite children's book? I would love to know and I'd also love to know

2:08.8	Let me adjust my hairdo. Even though it's not on the camera, you're going to adjust your hairdo?
2:15.3	Well, you know, you are so wrapped up in your image. In looks. You've always been this way.
2:23.1	I know. And now I see it's gotten worse. It really has. You're at a podcast. No one can see you.
2:31.6	Nobody can see me. Nobody wants to see me. And here I am just making sure I look hot and sexy all the time.
