| 0:00.0 | Hello, Don't Ask Take listeners. I wanted to open the show by addressing the fact that so many of you have |
| 0:09.3 | inquired about the outro song. |
| 0:13.5 | Honestly, I don't know if it's called listen or listen to your heart, but it's by one of my favorite singer |
| 0:22.5 | songwriters ever. |
| 0:24.4 | Edie Berkel, I believe it's not available yet. I you know, I probably should have reached out to her and asked her |
| 0:31.8 | if it's available or when it's available, but I get the feeling it's not available since so many people right in |
| 0:38.8 | asking who is that? What song is that? Where can I get that? It's the best. It is the best. She's the best and |
| 0:45.4 | I'm so happy that everybody's enjoying her music so much. I just wanted to put that out there before we got into this next episode and now on with the show. |
| 1:15.4 | This is Don't Ask Take. I'm Tignotaro suggesting you take a summer vacation from asking me for advice. |
| 1:28.2 | Joining me today is Grammy and Emmy nominated comedian, actress and musician Margaret Cho. |
| 1:35.2 | Margaret, I'm so happy to have you today. I'm so happy. Thank you for having me. I have you whenever I can. I love it. With whatever I do. |
| 1:43.9 | All the things, all the different things. All the different things that I do. I think well, I'd love to have Margaret Cho. I love that. |
| 1:51.7 | Yeah. I mean, I know I bring it up all the time, but I was a fan of yours before I started doing stand-up and I told you when I started doing stand-up, I was talking to reps, |
| 2:05.2 | meaning for the people at home that don't know what reps are, a manager or agent, and they said, |
| 2:11.0 | who's career? Do you want? And I said, I would love to have Margaret Cho's career. Do you have somebody like that for yourself? |
| 2:20.3 | Oh, gosh. I think, I guess it's hard to say, if anybody's career, I would love to emulate would probably be Dolly Parton. |
| 2:30.5 | Because she has so many different aspects to her career and her life, but at the same time, she's funny. |
| 2:39.5 | I mean, she's just also having fun. And she is an icon for young people and older people. And you know, she was also a big fixture in country music television. |
| 2:51.9 | If you ever watch rural TV, it's RFT, the rural farming, |
| 2:59.6 | don't think. I don't know what the DCS were. But it's, is it, this is a real network? |
| 3:04.3 | It's a network that only shows old Porter Wagner and He-Ha. And then crop updates and weather. |
| 3:12.9 | Well, how do I not know about this? Well, it's very, it's like in the early days of Tivo, I would try to look for He-Ha and Porter Wagner |
