  • This podcast has increased my weirdo vibe in public

    I am constantly bursting out in uncontrollable laughter. The stories are so personable; it feels like sharing secrets with your friends. I highly recommend if you’re in need of a good laugh or a reminder that we are all have an embarrassing disaster story.

  • Came for Guy Branum…

    Found this pod whilst looking for Guy Branum content and now I’m hooked! Jameela is a delight. She’s whip smart, so funny, and has such a natural rapport with her guests. I’m a fan and very happy to have stumbled (or taken a wrong turn?) on this show.

  • Hilarious

    Jameela is seriously one of the funniest people ever… the guest stories are funny, but her quips and comments and self deprecating personal stories take this podcast to next level humor. I often find myself laughing out loud.

  • On the fence

    I’ve wanted to love her for so long but something in her humor never fit quite right for me. Her latest video defending Chappell was the nail in the coffin for me.
