"Appearing on the most recent episode of the Breaking Bread With Tom Papa podcast, Notaro said she and Hines had "made each other laugh so hard" with their own podcast. She continued, "It was fun to have to watch a documentary every week, but also we took the pressure off, because we would ask each other things like, 'Who are you attracted to in this documentary?'""
"But Notaro explained that when Kennedy Jr. announced his run to become president she 'needed to step away.' She added, 'there are beliefs that were like a gnat on the arm years ago that were getting further into the spotlight.' Notaro went on to explain that Hines had wanted her friend to hear her husband out on his ideas. 'I was like, 'I can't, I can't, I can't.' I just didn't trust it,' she said."
Tig Notaro and Cheryl Hines co-hosted the Tig & Cheryl: True Story podcast and previously shared a close, laughter-filled friendship. The relationship deteriorated after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his presidential run and promoted controversial views linking vaccines to autism and denying aspects of HIV/AIDS. Kennedy Jr. later endorsed Donald Trump and was appointed secretary of health and human services. Notaro said she needed to step away when those beliefs gained prominence and that she could not trust hearing him out. Notaro described the friendship as "not my world" now and intends to prioritize people who bring her joy.
