<p>Comedy powerhouses, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aparnapkin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Aparna Nancherla</strong></a> (<em>BoJack Horseman</em>, <em>Corporate</em>, <em>Mythic Quest</em>) and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eskinz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Eliza Skinner</strong></a> (<em>The Late Late Show with James Corden</em>, <em>Drop the Mic</em>, and <em>Earth to Ned</em>), join Jameela for a perfect storm of humiliation, soft chaos, and stories that instantly make you feel better about your own life choices.</p><br><p>Aparna kicks things off with a micro humiliation involving an aggressively friendly date, a forced smile, and the kind of social panic only she could navigate with total deadpan grace. Later, she unpacks a Big Wrong Turn that somehow manages to include a disappearing audience, a disappearing sense of self, and a disappearing will to continue. We’ve all been there.</p><br><p>Eliza brings her own signature spiral, including the world’s worst party choice, a Disney meltdown, and one of the most impressively committed social misreads we’ve heard on this show. Together, she and Aparna form a tag-team of comedic self-exposure that warms the soul and singes the eyebrows.</p><br><p>Plus, Jameela reads a Misery Loves Company submission that proves sometimes the only way out is to laugh harder than you want to cry.</p><br><p>Come for the comedy, stay for the solidarity. If you’ve ever said “I'm really honest, I just like to tell it how it is,” then listen to hear why we're swiping left on you.</p><br><p>Aparna Nancherla has her very first hour-long standup comedy special, HOPEFUL POTATO, premiering December 15th on streaming service Dropout as part of its “<a href="https://watch.dropout.tv/dropout-presents-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dropout Presents</a>” series.
