  • Okay. Let's talk about this book.

  • >> No more funny stuff.

  • >> No more funny stuff.

  • Only heartbreaking and funny stuff.

  • The book really is.

  • I texted you.

  • I was on page two,

  • and I texted you saying- >> I can't read.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> When is it coming out on audio book?

  • >> More pictures.

  • >> It's really so well written.

  • I mean that doesn't surprise me, you're a writer and you're a brilliant writer.

  • It's so well written and in case people don't know your life, 2012, right?

  • Was the year that everything kind of happened if you'll just explain.

  • >> Yes. In 2012, I had pneumonia and then I contracted this potentially

  • deadly illness called C. Diff., where bacteria just eats your insides.

  • And then my mother died suddenly, accidentally, and

  • then I went through a break up and then I was diagnosed with invasive cancer.

  • This was all in four months.

  • And so the book just is raking through all those moments,

  • because I put out an album and there's also a documentary about that time period.

  • But I felt like both of those were just skeletons of that time.

  • And this book really goes through every beat and it also updates where I am now,

  • and it fills you in on where I came from, what my mother was like, and all of that.

  • >> Yeah, boy. And we learn a lot about your mother.

  • She was quite something.

  • >> [LAUGH] She was.

  • >> Yeah.

  • >> She was very wild and very uninhibited and she was pretty crazy.

  • >> Yeah.

  • And, well, you should read the book, obviously.

  • >> There she is.

  • >> But it's heartbreaking and brilliant and funny and everything that you are.

  • So I can't recommend it-

  • I was handing it to Portia when I would go take a shower and she'd read it and

  • I'd- we were back and forth with it and-

  • But, it's fantastic.

  • >> Well, thank you. >> Congratulations.

  • >> Thank you. >> And now life is good.

  • You're married.

  • You have twins on the way.

  • So that's exciting.

  • >> Yeah, it's so exciting.

  • >> Yeah. >> Yeah, we got married in Pass Christian,

  • Mississippi.

  • Which is, you have family and friends there.

  • >> Yes, my aunt lived in Pass Christian.

  • So we have all these connections together.

  • So you got married in Mississippi.

  • >> Yeah.

  • >> And you have twins on the way.

  • >> Yes, due any day now.

  • >> Is it really any day?

  • >> Yeah. >> That soon?

  • >> [LAUGH] >> Do you have names for them yet?

  • >> No, we're not naming them.

  • >> No? >> [LAUGH]

  • >> Good idea.

  • >> Yeah. >> Let them name themselves.

  • It's rude.

  • Why are we named by our parents?

  • >> It is. >> Let them name themselves.

  • >> Yeah, we're not gonna be rude parents.

  • Stephanie and I have named each other cuz we couldn't figure out what we should be called.

  • And I suggested the funny one and the pretty one.

  • >> I see.

  • >> And I'm gonna be the pretty one.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> Cuz I love the idea of

  • the kids going up and being like, the funny one said we could go out and play.

  • Well, you tell the funny one that the pretty one said.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> And

  • actually, their names are, we do have names.

  • >> What are they? >> It was Max and Finn.

  • >> You did name them?

  • >> Yeah. >> Max and Finn.

  • >> Yeah. >> Adorable.

  • >> Thank you. >> That's adorable.

  • Cuz I had some suggestions.

  • But now, nevermind.

  • >> [LAUGH] >> We don't have middle names.

  • >> No. >> [LAUGH]

  • >> Tig's book is called I'm Just a Person.

  • It's in stores now.

  • You should read it.

  • It's fantastic.

  • We'll be right back.

  • >> [APPLAUSE]

Okay. Let's talk about this book.
