Comedians Zainab Johnson (Upload, Toxically Optimistic, Hijabs Off) and Karan Soni (Deadpool & Wolverine, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, A Nice Indian Boy) join Jameela to talk white wedding aisles, the green tea that betrayed Karan, and Zainab’s case for giving in when your body has made up its mind.

Zainab gives a fan in a Montreal hotel lobby some career advice he didn’t ask for, or apparently, need.

Plus, listener Ashley finds out the nose is also an exit.
