Summary

This episode was originally broadcast on September 15, 2021.

No one speaks their mind quite like comedian and TV host Samantha Bee, and this time she's upfront and personal with Tig. Together they advise a listener on how to snap out of a crush on their therapist and tackle the tough issue of figuring out if someone actually likes you or is just being polite. Then Tig and Samantha bond over how and when they each had that "birds and bees talk" with their own kids and also how they personally cope with grieving a lost loved one.

0:14.2	it's fall. Or is it autumn? Isn't it called the same thing fall and autumn? Some people are like,
0:21.4	no, it's fall. And others are like, the happy autumn. I feel like I always say fall.
0:28.0	And I wish desperately I was an autumn person. I feel like it sounds a little smarter.
0:35.0	But uh, how is everyone doing? I'm just checking in because our autumn doesn't look like we thought
0:42.1	it was going to, which is a bummer. But I hope everyone's doing okay. Yeah, it's been

0:58.2	And what are you looking forward to this autumn? I know for myself I'm looking forward to my kids

1:13.2	I mean, get up, get dressed and sit and wait, fully dressed with their backpacks on

1:41.0	Oh, I love it. You do. I am hilarious. Oh, it's so satisfying. I um, I can't stand it.
1:48.9	Yeah, no nightmare. I can't believe people pay money to hear me talk or that they drive across town
1:57.7	or some people take a flight to another city to hear this voice.
2:04.0	And they plan it in advance. And they go like in three months. We're going to go. We're going to
2:10.9	drive for three hours. It's terrible.
2:34.0	This is Don't Ask Tig. I'm Tig Notaro. And since my guest today is Canadian,
