Love Jackie and can and have been listing for days. She’s great and I wish I could see her live. I will one day but it could be sooner if she came closer to? Tulsa. I get why not this, too. Either way thanks for all the content, Jackie. You’re super great at the stand up jokes.
Jackie I'm a fan of many MANY years, saw you live in Albuquerque (I apologize for obvious reasons) and just want to say Thank You. I had a chance to meet you, but got scared and dorked out. You're the greatest!
Wow… this episode rules. Top tier comics and real friends. Endearing. True love.
One of my favourite parts of every week is listening to host Jackie Kashian talk with that week’s guest about their obsessions. With guests evenly divided between standups and civilians, the show is a must listen.
Weird book girl, do you have any friends? Ok but are you friendLYYY??? Jackie inspires me to mumble in the direction of new people, thank YOU ❤️
