    This Don’t Ask Tig episode is a first — the first time a guest returns and it’s none other than actor and comedian Stephanie Allynne — Tig’s wife! Stephanie and Tig share hilarious moments from their visits to Tig’s hometown in Mississippi — all centered around a cemetery. The couple gives advice to a listener who wonders if a person can have too many cats, help a woman pick out a hairstyle to change her life and give a fan some zinger retorts to people who mistake her partner for a man.

They Nailed It!

Nicole Byer is unapologetically proud and gorgeous. She is an ebullient spirit! I love this episode because it nudges Tig out of her lane a tiny bit. Funny and sweet. One of my faves.

Who’s booking talent now?

Huge Tig fan and literally the only anything Tig I’ve had to stop before the end…. So monotonous and boring.
