    Zach Zucker and David Magidoff

    Comedians Zach Zucker (Stamptown, Jack Tucker: Comedy Stand-Up Hour, Sweethearts) and David Magidoff (Dexter: Resurrection, The Morning Show, Fanaddicts) join Jameela to trade origin stories that should have ended their careers before they started - a WME rep watching a hometown show implode in real time, and a wedding toast that reopens the Civil War. Somewhere in between: cat allergies, lingering breakups, and the loneliest ring fingers in the business.

    Hanna Dickinson and Zach Zimmerman

    Comedians Hanna Dickinson (Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring, special on EPIX) and Zach Zimmerman ("Surprise Me" special, writing for The New Yorker) join Jameela to trade the stories you bury, not brag about: a near kidnapping story to put you off Ozempic, a hoagie that should've stayed in the trash, and a fog emoji break up strategy. Plus a listener story that was so close to a hook-up story with a hot Uber driver, right up until it wasn't.

    Laci Mosley and Langston Kerman

    Comedians Laci Mosley (iCarly, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Scam Goddess) and Langston Kerman (Abbott Elementary, Bad Poetry, My Momma Told Me) join Jameela to trade tales of woe. Laci takes us through a whirlwind overseas hookup that spirals from a champagne cellar bathroom encounter into an accidental pregnancy joke that goes way too far, capped off by a flight home you have to hear to believe. Langston confesses to accosting the wrong Black woman at one of Hollywood's most exclusive backyard parties, and Jameela shares the podcast guest scandal that taught her never to cover a living scammer again. Plus, listener Matt shares how a Memorial Day parade turned him into an accidental miracle in Misery Loves Company.

    Jared Freid and Becky Robinson

    Comedians Jared Freid (Table for One Tour, Walking Red Flag, U Up?) and Becky Robinson (Wild 'N Out, The Beasts in Me Tour, Entitled) join Jameela for a conversation that somehow lands on a fireman worthy command performance, a dorm room G-string that never should have survived freshman year, and a hookup so dry it produced actual chalk. Jared's big wrong turn traces back to a 12-year-old's landline phone call interrupted by his mom, and Jameela's friend's home office habit gives the family dog a taste for something it really should not want. This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Paul, who learns a hotel fire alarm waits for no one.

    Katherine Ryan and Alan Carr [ReTurn]

    Comedians Katherine Ryan (First Born Daughter special, Tinsel Town film, The Audacity: Why Being Too Much Is Exactly Enough book) and Alan Carr (Have I Said Too Much? tour, Alan Carr's Picture Slam BBC One, Interior Design Masters Netflix) join Jameela for a night of televised flops, dance floor disasters, and dignity going straight down the drain. Alan relives the sweat-drenched chaos of Grease Live (voted worst show on British telly two years running) and the New York toilet incident that left him watching a movie premiere in sunglasses he didn't need. Katherine remembers the audition that proved she has zero rhythm, and the boyfriend who brought her along as an unwitting third wheel on his own date. Jameela gets an electric slide lesson from Beyoncé that goes nowhere fast, and learns that telling Catherine O'Hara "I hope I look like you when I'm old" does not land the way she means it to. This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Taylor, whose birthday surprise arrived at exactly the wrong moment for her digestive system.

    Bob The Drag Queen and Mae Martin [ReTurn]

    It's summer, it's hot, we all need a week off from time to time, so that's what we're doing this week on the podcast. But we wouldn't want to leave you high and dry, so here's a ReTurn episode of our Premiere with amazing guests Mae Martin and Bob the Drag Queen. It's one of our most popular episodes, so we hope you'll listen, enjoy, and share it with a friend.

Bob reveals his ultimate preschool nightmare and the least comfortable way to extinguish a roast, while Mae shares a secret crush gone horribly wrong, and perhaps the most incorrect way to use a spatula.
