Summary

Craving a best friend, but unsure how to make that connection as an adult? Actor and former SNL cast member Sasheer Zamata tells Tig how she found her later-in-life bestie — none other than fellow comedian Nicole Byer — now her co-host on the podcast Best Friends. Sasheer and Tig give advice on how to keep kids from binging on granola bars first thing in the morning and brainstorm about how humor can rescue someone from a sticky situation. Sasheer, who stars in the Hulu series Woke, gives her take on the word "woke" and dishes about her first crush — hint: he's out of this world!

0:00.0	Hi, Dana here. Yes, that Dana. It's been a couple of years since I needed
0:05.6	Tix advice and she and Will Ferrell thank me many times. I can't believe she
0:10.5	still thinks me at the end of every episode. There are plenty of Dana's out
0:14.4	there continuing to ask take questions and we always get heartfelt and fumerous
0:18.8	advice. Join me the original Dana in donating to this one-of-a-kind podcast.
0:24.3	Go to don't ask take dot org slash donate today. Hey listeners, I wanted to tell
0:31.4	you about this really phenomenal documentary film that I watched called The
0:36.9	Rescue. It's about the soccer team with the little boys in Thailand that were
0:42.2	trapped in a cave. So it's no doubt intense but it is utterly heartwarming,
0:49.3	uplifting, inspiring and it feels so relevant. The themes in it with the state
0:59.2	of the world. I just wanted to share that with you and I also have a weekly
1:03.8	podcast where I talk about a new documentary. It's called TIG and Cheryl True
1:09.2	Story and to be fair it is not any sort of like public radio, NPR, movie,

1:31.5	with an old friend. So tune in to TIG and Cheryl True Story and the rescue is
1:38.3	one of the documentaries that we talk about. Also I'm back on tour so get your
1:44.6	tickets now and come say hello again to my face but don't be weird. That's what
1:50.2	the tour is called. Hello again. Go to TIGnotaro.com and get your tickets. New
1:56.4	cities are being added all the time. So okay on with the show. If we're in a
2:05.7	group and there is no leader I feel like I can be the wrangler if it's like
2:12.7	we're at a concert. We're lost lots of people are drunk or on drugs and I'm
