About this episode

Tig talks with one of America's favorite leading men, Paul Rudd, star of the Ant-Man movies, the TV series The Shrink Next Door, and so much more. Paul discusses fascinating facts about real ants, and talks about owning a candy store in a small town. Paul and Tig discuss why he was named sexiest man alive and how he stacks up against CNN correspondent Sanjay Gupta for the title. Together, Tig and Paul advise a listener on how to find friends in a new city, help another decide whether to fly across the country for a birthday bash, and they find a new name for a librarian whose boss wants her to change her name at work.
