I have given you and your male guests’ subtle misogyny the benefit of the doubt multiple times in the light of comedy. But at some point it just becomes too obvious and intentional. Babye.
Sun and Jin are the best thing about Lost, great answer
I miss jameela
this episode was trash ☹️ all screeching and yelling and nothing funny.
I really miss Jameela, and I guess that they have run out of good stories. Time to look for a new podcast - I'm out
Not buying the Pinecone story, but it was still funny
There’s nothing gritty about Rent? It’s…about AIDS…is that not gritty?
The first girl in this episode is just sort of annoying. idk, maybe it's just that the whole show doesn't seem as good without Jameela. I'm bummed she isn't hosting anymore.
so jsmeela is not going to be the host of second season? I'll gonna miss her funny jokes!
💚WATCH>>ᗪOᗯᑎᒪOᗩᗪ>>LINK>👉https://co.fastmovies.org
What a fun episode!
But we want to see the painting too!
The interruptions are getting a bit too much recently. I understand that you wanna make the stories last longer and also show you are interested and curious, but it’s getting too much and doesn’t add to the quality of the story at all.
this girl's voice is insufferable, holy why 😵
“You’re a bad little piglet”
Jeff’s story is so relatable. Maybe he’ll call me 😭 very me as a lovelorn slut in my twenties
Pete is such a pal
I couldn't skip this episode fast enough. the first storynwaa annoying AF!
it was definitely Jim Jerreries
