  • Adam Rose and Kevin James Thornton
    Dec 18 2025

    Adam Rose (LA’s Finest, Small Stupid Stuff podcast, YouTube) and Kevin James Thornton (Be Yourself special, Call Kevin podcast, YouTube) join Jameela to unpack a series of deeply questionable life decisions, including pet squirrels with boundary issues, cosmetic school as a financial strategy, and how to make it through a night in jail as a 16-year-old dance instructor.


    Childhood arrests, disastrous career pivots, and the kind of dating stories that permanently change how you screen potential partners. Along the way, Jameela shares her own unlikely path to The Good Place, the strange comforts of shared humiliation, and why some wrong turns feel less like mistakes and more like destiny having a sense of humor.

  • Shapel Lacey and Aaron Branch
    Dec 11 2025

    Comedians Shapel Lacey (Three Dads Two Moms special, current tour dates) and Aaron Branch (Unstable on Netflix, The Kevin Langue Show, The Forehead Tour) for an unforgettable episode full of wiener stories.


    Shapel bravely recounts the worst gig of his life, the cheer-camp sex he may never recover from, and the moment a stranger declared that his penis is the joke. Aaron, meanwhile, brings story after story that make him look sweet, hot, successful, and this week's valedicktorian.


    Accidental grandpa kisses, cheerleading-camp injuries and school-wide scandals that probably belonged in a teen drama, Jameela tries her best to keep the show on the rails until Aaron challenges her to share a story of her own.

  • Dan Schreiber and Andrew Hunter Murray
    Dec 4 2025

    Comedy troublemakers Dan Schreiber (No Such Thing As A Fish, The Museum of Curiosity, author of The Theory of Everything Else) and Andrew Hunter Murray (No Such Thing As A Fish, The Naked Week, writer for Private Eye, author of A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering) join Jameela for an hour of friendship chaos, gig disasters, and stories that make you grateful for every bad choice you didn’t make.


    Dan kicks things off with childhood misunderstandings, a karaoke nightmare involving his kid and the unedited lyrics of Grease Lightning, and one of the most catastrophic date-night micro humiliations we’ve ever heard. Andrew brings the bouncer years, the book festival where Jude Law mistook him for staff, and a zoo gig so bad the audience preferred to stare at fish.


    Plus, a Misery Loves Company story about a disastrous hook-up with a neighbor.


    If you like friendship that borders on warfare, ancient fish upstaging comedians, or men questioning their entire identity in front of Jude Law, this one is for you.
