Weiner (Anthony Weiner doc) Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

Tig and Cheryl celebrate 4th of July with "Weiner," an inside look at Anthony Weiner's public meltdown as he runs to become mayor of New York. Tig and Cheryl share a laugh at Anthony's "Carlos Danger" alter ego, as well as sympathy for Huma Abedin and anger over how Huma was treated. It's an all-around Weiner roast!

Icarus Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

Tig and Cheryl risk flying too close to the podcasting sun with their recap of "Icarus," the Oscar-winning Netflix doc about the Russian doping scandal that made NATIONAL HEADLINES. Who has the better Russian accent, Tig or Cheryl? Who were they attracted to, in a doc with a surprising amount of voluntary male nudity? All that and more, on a steroids-juiced episode of True Story! *this episode contains spoilers* (tigandcheryltruestory@gmail.com)

Air Guitar Nation with Greg Behrendt! Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

Greg Behrendt ("He's Just Not That Into You") joins Tig and Cheryl for "Air Guitar Nation," a chronicling of several contestants' quests to win the Air Guitar World Championships, a real event held annually in Finland. Greg, despite being featured in the documentary, barely remembers its contents... so he fits right in with Tig and Cheryl! They talk optimum pick placement, listen to a clip of horses galloping, and Greg facilitates the first-ever moment of learning on the podcast! *this episode spills beans* (tigandcheryltruestory@gmail.com)
