Summary

Hilarious standup comedian Kathleen Madigan talks about her very short basketball "career" and why she left LA for Nashville. Then, she and Tig advise a remorseful heckler about apologizing to a comedian and help a listener start off on the right foot at a new job, plus they discuss the best way to "break up" with an old friend.
