Hello listeners, it's me, your friend TIG. I have returned and it's great to be back.

I have to say, so far, 2023 has been for me personally a really blank slate jumping off point in a great, hopeful way.

Then I would even say that I've had previous years because I don't typically look in a new year as starting over point after having kids I started using my son's birthday as a reminder to stand track and life and adjust this or that or set bigger goals.

But I'm looking at this new year as an opportunity to add to that date in June as just an extra push for myself, not an overwhelming push but just a, here we go.

Let's we're going to do a new year and we're going to try some new things, do some things a little differently and it started January first.

We'll see how it goes, who knows. I mean, I'm always trying to look for the positive and start a new, but you know what I'm saying, I'm hoping good things are in the works for all of you and for those who are still waiting, it's coming, hang in there.

I think we're all waiting, even if you have good things, we're all still waiting.

There's a lot to look forward to, especially on this show. We have an incredibly exciting lineup of guests eager to give you terrible advice. Also, if you want to check out what I'm up to, you can always go to Tignotaro.com.

I have the latest tour dates and there's merchandise, all sorts of things. Go check it out and on with the show.

Great to see you as always. Great to see you. Yes. I haven't seen you in a while, but yet I've seen you fairly recently. You were somebody and we went out to eat.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it wasn't a special moment for you. You don't, you don't remember that. I do a lot of dinners. No, I do remember that, but I felt like that wasn't recently.

I was like, maybe there was some other like, citing like, I guess I was thinking recently compared to, because I used to see you all the time. Right.

And then life moves on. We're both busy. People get busy. Yeah.

And then a pandemic hit and then boom, we were out to dinner and then now we're podcasting.

We are not alone. Nobody is so there's everybody close to me. Yeah, I'm thinking to you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

This is Don't Ask Tig. I'm Tignotaro, fully accepting that when it comes to advice, I am not one of the greats.

With me today is a comedian actor and writer who starred as Gina Lanetti in the hit Fox comedy Brooklyn 99. She's appeared in shows including Bob Spurgers and Big Mouth and written for shows like Parks and Recreation and Saturday Night Live.

Her one hour stand-up special is titled Chelsea Pretty, one of the greats. Chelsea, Peretti. Welcome to Don't Ask Tig.

Thank you so much to great to see you as always.

I don't even know if this is right or wrong to bring up, but we found out that our connection was an ex of mine that you didn't even know that we dated me in that act.

I definitely think she mentioned it, but I think it came up late in our friendship. Definitely before you and I and her had dinner.

Yeah. I was like, wow, there's just more layers of the onion, you know. I know.
