  • Dating Around the World (w/ Colton Dunn)

    Dating Around the World (w/ Colton Dunn)
    May 2 2025
    Comedian and Nicole's fictional boyfriend Colton Dunn (Superstore, Grand Crew, Key and Peele) joins Nicole to talk about dating customs in Europe (and what we can learn from them), getting mad at your partner over what they did in your dream, and what surprised him most about becoming a dad. He reflects on why improv might never be cool- even if you're good at it, and shares behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most iconic Key & Peele sketches. Plus: diaper blowouts, fake babies at Disneyland, and getting called the "Black Seth Rogen."Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/qYOWub9maa0Write Nicole a dirty message!

    Too Shy to Talk to People (w/ Owen Burke)
    Apr 25 2025

    Comedian Owen Burke (Drunk History) joins Nicole for a conversation recorded in the middle of the Los Angeles fires (things were unhinged). They talk about trying to function while the world is burning, the early days of UCB, and how Owen managed to find a wife while being painfully shy and awkward with dating—and how you can too. Plus, Nicole shares the time she gave John Mulaney her number. John, please call back.

  • DIVORCED!!! (w/ Jackie Johnson)

    DIVORCED!!! (w/ Jackie Johnson)
    Apr 18 2025
    Comedian and friend Jackie Johnson was terrified to do this podcast… until she got a divorce. She joins Nicole to talk about dating a record number of canceled UCB comedians, surviving a nightmare marriage, and only realizing she was unhappy after it ended (plus how to spot signs of abuse in your own relationship). Jackie shares how therapy—and a witch’s spell—helped her find true love. Plus, they discuss the red flags they missed in past relationships, why getting married on Valentine’s Day was a HUGE mistake, the secret to getting out of jury duty, and Jackie’s genius advice on when to swoop in and land a man.Chicago!
