Summary

Don’t Ask Tig is taking a little spring vacation this month, but we’ll be back in a few weeks with all new episodes starting Wednesday, June 7. Here is an encore presentation of an all-time favorite episode — Tig's conversation with music icon Cyndi Lauper, the voice behind timeless songs like “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Time After Time.” Tig and Cyndi give advice to a lonely mom whose teenage daughter just wants to have fun hanging out at her wealthy boyfriend's house, and a daughter who finally confesses that she lost her mother’s diamond ring years ago, but has never told anyone.
