    Uh
    Anyone operating under the assumption that Tig supports RFK clearly has not been paying attention. She’s done the live action version of Homer Simpson slinking backwards into a bush.
  • cam10003
    RFK Jr
    I attended one of Tig’s shows a few years back and was surprised to find that her unannounced opening act was RFK Jr. I am still angry at being made part of a captive audience for that nutjob. I can’t listen to Tig anymore knowing that she supports him and the damage he is going to do.
  • Oryx700
    Come back!!
    Missing the pod!

    How I Found You
    I just decided to try out your show One Mississippi on Prime. I liked it. Straight, white, cis man, OLD man, who grew up in Texas. My best friend came out as gay, after he had Ben my best man, and I his when he married a woman. They even named a son after me. I knew as a younger man I wouldn’t have been as accepting as I was knowing I already loved my dear friend. Your show reminds me of how things were for him. I love your straightforward honesty & subversive humor. Bon chance, amí!
  • ComradeNShe

  • never too late jocie
    Need all things Tig.
    I’m totally late in the game of podcasts. Learned about Tig from the Sarah Silverman podcast. Found Handsome and burned through all the episodes but now I’ve got Don’t Ask Tig!!!!!!!!! Love the concept love the exchange between her guests love the questions.
  • TexanAj
    Respect and follow
    I sincerely enjoy this podcast . No cursing no negativity. I’m 58 but just now learning about and following Tig’s journey of life . Her and Stephanie are truest of all soulmates

  • Reviewer1964198420042015
    Amazing
    Have only listened to a few but can’t wait to hear the rest of them. Paula Poundstone episode had me laughing so hard. Paula and Tig’s banter was incredible!
  • Bbbeauideal
    Just a heads up
    The very end of the very last pod kind of insinuates the lines are still open :)
  • Cathyjetski
    Listening Heaven
    Enjoy the entertainment off listening to Tig and guest. The variety of guest is great. Love hearing everyone’s opinion on the question ask by listeners. Thanks Tig

    Tig for Everything
    I would listen to Tig watch paint dry. I love her. This last episode with Julia Louis Dreyfus is possibly my favorite ever - and now that it’s all over, I think I’m drawn to rewatch Tig’s planet-healing cancer special yet again. Seems right. Thank you, Tig!!! (And will switch over to your Handsome podcast posthaste.)❤️❤️❤️
  • yanti_2
    Much needed laugh
    Oh my goodness!! Can’t believe I did not know about this podcast. Such great content. So freakin hilarious. Thank you!!
  • Laurie's place
    Tig
    Can’t believe I just discovered this pod. It’s hilarious and now I find out it’s over. I’ve seen Tig in Tampa last year and thought I couldn’t laugh any harder. I was wrong. My new favorite podcast. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣
  • Where ya wanna eat?
    I’m so sad!
    The last episode?? Ugh! I’m in tears! I’ve enjoyed this podcast for so long, absolutely brightens my day; I even hum the theme songs all the time! It’s been great and thank you Tig, everyone tune in the Handsome these ladies are awesome ❤️
  • keep womens music alive
    Oh Tig,
    oh no, Tig🙃😪😘 everything you do captures my heart and fancy, laughs, tears…so grateful there is always something else to listen to and watch and listen and rewatch. I will never tire of any of your gifts, but most especially One Mississippi. And amazing the insights I absorbed from Don’t Ask Tig… And love this special theme song is a favorite. Love to you, Stephanie and the boys🦦🐬🦋
  • chgrpads
    Noooooooooo
    I’m beyond sad that this podcast is ending. One of my favorites.😩 😢
  • pmoralesny
    WARNING! You could die laughing!
    This show should come with a warning that you should NOT be driving/walking/handling machinery whilst listening as you could suddenly start laughing and/or crying so hard you may lose touch with some/all your senses and possibly control of some of your body functions!!!! Amazing host + fabulous guests = best podcast! Thanks Tig.
  • JessArtMe
    Better than therapy
    Tig is magic, when I’m listening to this show I feel like I’m sitting down with an old friend and all the weight of the world is melted away. I could just listen to her all day.
  • magicalkaleidoscope
    Tig is just the best
    My FAVORITE podcast to listen to when I want to smile or laugh. Thank you Tig!!!
  • Pamcakey!
    I Love Tig!
    I enjoy this podcast. Tig is one of the coolest people on earth, as we Pisces usually are! I look forward to the casual, relevant and humorous discussions. I’ve learned so much from all the guests as they’ve brought their wide variety of experiences. Her games at the end are an addition treat. Especially Advice Of Yesteryear.
  • Dr. Nomecat
    Penance for the tomatillo guy was just cruel!
    Wow. Just, wow.
  • Fredfloyd
    NAME…..THAT……THING!!!!
    An absolutely delightful show.
  • Colbat colored gum
    I’m better now!
    Thank you Tig and all your experts! I’ve been struggling with anxiety (single mother of Autistic teen) and have tried everything from Zoloft to boxes of wine. Nothing has helped me cope with life’s challenges. Nothing until Tig’s advice show. I’m better now. 👍
  • ZThing1
    Citizen Cane!
    I LOVE this podcast but while listening to the Amanda Kloots episode I was shouting “Citizen Cane!!!!!” Could you hear me? No?…… ok.
  • mooglitz
    Sandra Bernhardt ♥️
    Now THATS a quality guest. I forgot how great she is.
  • aimlys
    SANDRA!!
    Love ALL of Tig’s shows! They are funny and offer great (or at least, humorous) advice. I have always loved Sandra Bernhard! Another great episode!
  • Girbles76
    Tig, you have fans in East Tennessee!
    Hey Tig!! Im a Snerkbol and huge fan of all your work. I just listen to your latest episode with Pete Holmes. As usual, it was thoughtful and hilarious. However, I wasn’t sure if you were joking or not when you were answering a letter from a lady and you didn’t understand why she was referring to her family as her People or her baby is it. I am from East Tennessee, and it sounds to me like she is from somewhere in Appalachia. Because many of us from this region refer to our family as our people and, we don’t always use proper English/grammar. But many of us still love you. Thanks for all the laughs!! Sincerely!!! Angie from Greenville Tennessee
  • Jornywar
    Mwah 💋
    In addition to a fantastic show (Tig + fantastic/any guest = how could you go wrong), I love that the ads are a lower volume than the main content 😊
  • Ratatoullie Fan
    We love Tig
    This podcast is engaging, fun, interesting, and heart warming as well as so so funny. Tig and guest make me laugh so hard! Thank you Tig and guests.
  • JoeMac7345
    Great guests
    Lots of great guests, entertaining format, nice & short
  • becswc
    Comedy not science
    Very entertaining and lives up to the name. Come for the laughs, someone else’s opinions and move on with your life. I’ll never become a vegan because of this show and I’m sure a lot of others won’t follow her advice but that’s ok. It’s still entertaining.
  • 123_archivios
    I want to hear more voices
    Tig, You are so funny. No cap. Thanks for making me laugh. Can we hear more Black people? Latino people? Roll out some episodes featuring LGBTQ peeps? Please and thank you.
  • Auntpatrice
    One Mississippi
    What took me so long to check out Tig’s show on HuLu? If you love Tig, you’ll love her 2 season portrayal of her life. It brought me to tears and left me loving her even more.
  • Shrink’s perspective
    Love it
    I’ve fount Don’t Ask Tig a few months ago and have listened to all the current and back shows available. Although I’m a psychologist who sometimes cringes at the “help” offered, I realize it’s entertainment and the people asking for help have been warned. I love that you do recommend therapy for difficult situations. But mainly I love the humor and cleverness of Tig and her guests. It’s one of my new favorite podcasts. Thank you. Suzanne
  • Elboxyb
    Ditch Better Help
    Tig, does the podcast really need money from a company that bates mentally ill and marginalized folk????? Please tell me your team is working on parting ways. They’re a sketchy scam!!!! Look into it. I feel like you want to do the right thing, I hope so and leading people to a site thats causing more harm is not the way!!! I don’t think it’ll be long before you and Cheryl are reviewing a documentary about the scam that is Better Help…..
  • Jbs7988
    Love Tig!
    Tig, your p’cast is amazing. I was so happy to hear Allison Janney&Cyndi Lauper. Looking forward who is coming down I had the honor of hearing her when she performed at a benefit for her son’s school.
  • Lin Gassaway
    Being trapped brought me here
    I was already a fan of yours but didn’t know of this podcast - until I recently posted about my experience just this week being trapped in a hotel bathroom for over 2 hours. What? Well, a friend told me she thought you had an experience being locked in a bathroom and that I should write to you about it and that I also should listen to this podcast, which I have - and I love it. Listening to all episodes. So, here I am - still traumatized but not alone. Linda from NC
  • cxvfghj
    Don’t ask her!
    I love her, I love her guests, I listen to everything she does. I’ve seen her live, watched One Mississippi from inception and really do miss that show. My only complaint is that she doesn’t do these podcasts at least 40 hours a week :) Love you tig! I also listen to Tig n Cheryl. You make me happy and I appreciate y’all!
  • TJWenker
    100th episode
    I have not been here from the beginning, but pretty close. Happy 100th episode.
  • bmgdem789
    Great show
    Hey Tig, great show. Please don’t recommend outdoor cats. They kill tons of wildlife, including song birds whose numbers are in pretty drastic decline. Cats are wonderful pets; they’re also an invasive species. If you like hearing birds singing, don’t have outdoor cats.
  • KamiCujo
    Looking Crazy
    While I am literally laugh out loud several times throughout each episode! I can completely relate to the lack of “range” and thank you Tig for making me feel better about my demeanor! You’re hilarious! ❤️
  • Mary o19
    Contact/Question Link Not Working
    Hi, The website contact link and the question link do not seem to be working. Love the show! 🥰🤗
  • Blehbleh2
    Can we clone Tig?
    How can anyone be so funny and smart all at the same time! Tig is a gift to the world! I can’t tell you how many times she has helped me smile through some really tough situations. Thank you Tig for your wisdom. 🫶🏻
  • ARamsIsPlanty
    A staple of my week
    Thank you for being you!
  • Mollster7767
    Wow! Dorthy Dix is real!?
    I’m flabbergasted. I was totally convinced, like Kristen, that Dorthy was a bitter man, smoking a cigar, in a too-tight suit, cough-laughing evilly to himself, in a poorly lit skyscraper office, as he writes these responses. Loved learning about the real person’s life! Also, this show is wonderful. Tig is the best and sometimes gives good advice. Okay, usually :) I love that this show focuses on the questions and responses. A lot of advice shows seem to spend 75% of the time interviewing the guest and only leave time for 1 or 2 questions. You can tell Tig really cares about her listeners!
  • Kimmer64
    Best Podcast
    I absolutely love Tig!! Her humor is delightful. I especially enjoyed the episode with Billy Crudup. I have always been a huge fan of Billy, but I was surprised to discover how how hilarious he is in real life. The two of you together had me rolling!! Thanks for making my day!!❤️❤️
