    Rachel Feinstein and Ben Gleib

    Comedian and actor Rachel Feinstein (Inside Amy Schumer, Crashing, Trainwreck, Big Guy on Netflix) and comedian, actor, and writer Ben Gleib (Chelsea Lately, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube) join Jameela to share their most catastrophic life moments, and things go off the rails almost immediately. Ben reveals what happens when Chelsea Handler gets bored on a private jet and peer-pressures you into propositioning the flight crew, while Rachel recounts the Christmas she tried to impress her future in-laws and ended up with a mouthful of candle wax. Both agree: the key to surviving humiliation is to just keep going. Later, Ben's attempt to save $37 on an Uber spirals into a full parking lot brawl involving a surprise Coffee Mate attack, and Rachel takes us to the saddest hotel in New York City, where every channel is porn, and her date packed matching Giants pajamas. Along the way, Jameela shares the time a therapist dumped her after one session, and the gang discovers they are all furiously, passionately angry about geography. Watch Ben's (and producer Stewart's) new show Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube, and stream Rachel Feinstein's special Big Guy on Netflix. Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.

    Gianmarco Soresi and Raanan Hershberg

    Comedian and actor Gianmarco Soresi (Thief of Joy comedy special, Netflix, The Downside podcast) and comedian Raanan Hershberg (The Tonight Show, Comedy Central, Your Favorite Movie Sucks podcast) join Jameela for an episode that encompasses the Middle East peace process, the American healthcare system, and fraternity hazing rituals involving marshmallows. Gianmarco's micro humiliation takes us back to college, where four years of anxiety about cracking during a song culminated in exactly that, on the final note of an eight-minute Rodgers and Hammerstein soliloquy, in front of everyone, with absolutely no way to play it off. His Big Wrong Turn begins with a gig booked through his uncle in real estate: a private roast of a 50-year-old stranger at his second bachelor party in a New Jersey steakhouse. He shows up in a suit. They're in shorts. They're sitting in a circle. And it only gets worse from there. Raanan's Big Wrong Turn is less wrong turn, more system failure. His girlfriend has an eye stroke, and what follows is an ambulance with no siren, insurance paperwork filled out in the back of said ambulance, a doctor appearing via video call from her kitchen, and a transfer to a second hospital in a storm immediately after taking blood thinners. America! In this week's Misery Loves Company, a listener named Edward recounts a fraternity initiation involving a marshmallow relay race that is exactly as bad as it sounds, and makes the only sane decision anyone in this episode manages. Follow Raanan at @RaananComedy and watch his podcast Your Favorite Movie Sucks on YouTube. Follow Gianmarco at @GianmarcoSoresi and catch him on tour across the US, UK, and Europe, his special Thief of Joy is out now on YouTube.

    Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher (Guys We F****d)

    Comedians, writers, and co-hosts of the legendary podcast Guys We F****d, Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher join Jameela this week for an episode that gets intimate, unhinged, and deeply relatable in equal measure. Corinne shares what happened when she tried to set the mood on a COVID-era Zoom date with Post-it note talking points, deli container margaritas, and a candle that set her hair on fire. Krystyna's Big Wrong Turn takes us inside Hurricane Sandy, a flooding apartment, a boyfriend who promised to throw out his ex-porn-star's Fleshlight collection, and the moment she discovered he had not. Jameela, meanwhile, reveals that her inner self on psychedelics turned out to be a very boring white lady who shops at Erewhon, and recounts the full catastrophic chain of events leading up to her Good Place audition, including curling her hair with her roommate's dildo and spending ten minutes alone in a casting director's bathroom using her teeth as a wrench. This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Josie, who declared her love at a prom after party, spent ten minutes arguing with the guy that he did love her actually, and ran into him the next morning looking like Beetlejuice. You can find Krystyna and Corinne's podcast Guys We F**ked wherever you get your podcasts. Follow Krystyna at @krystynahutch, Corinne Fisher is @philanthropygal, find her political podcast Without a Country on YouTube.

    Ian Lara and Michael Blieden

    Comedian, writer, and producer Ian Lara (Tonight Show veteran, HBO special Romantic Comedy, new free special Material Boy on YouTube) and writer, producer, and director Michael Blieden (The Daily Show, Broad City, forthcoming Mitch Hedberg documentary) join Jameela with stories that will make you feel significantly better about your own life choices. Ian once decided the best path to fame was an original rap performed acapella in coordinated outfits in front of his entire elementary school. Michael once accidentally played a podcast that opened with "Are white people special?" to his Black driver and just... kept it on. Jameela once performed a full Sally Bowles striptease routine from Cabaret at her all-girls school aged 12, and was bribed by her headmistress not to do it again. Also: an exploding chili dog audition, Larry David, and a listener who learned that "Fiona" sounds like Italian slang for something you really don't want your name to mean. You can follow Ian at @ianlara on Instagram and TikTok and watch his specials on YouTube and HBO. Keep an eye out for Michael's Mitch Hedberg documentary, coming soon.

Kat shares what happened when she re-entered the dating world after seven years, including one encounter set to some extremely ill-chosen background music, and another involving a life-sized pillow of Michael B. Jordan and thirty-five minutes of shimmying politely in the background. Ava, meanwhile, shares what happens when you answer a phone call mid-hookup convinced it's a casting director, and what happens when the entire contents of a large coffee decide to make their exit during a Zoom audition with Mindy Kaling. This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Jess, whose very enthusiastic sex life managed to send a firefighter back into a second round of ACL surgery, and inspires the team to ask: "Should we have signature moves?" You can follow Kat on Instagram at @katbirdcomedy and find her tour dates at katbirdcomedy.com.
