In a tape that Jasmine and Ky thought that they lost, they sat down with Jenny Zigrino (Comedy Central, Conan) to talk about wedding stuff, being rude to waiters, and meeting distant family members.

Welcome to Season 3! Ky and Jasmine kick season three off on a serious note, talking about the assault of Jussie Smollett, how a tweet going viral can lead to a few weeks of verbal abuse online, and how being part of a minority group puts pressure on its members to constantly be educating people on social and cultural issues while also being under pressure to present ideas with certain words and tone.
Writer Sheila de Guzman joins Jasmine and Ky to talk about making relationships work through difficult times. She shares her story of how she felt resentment for a new relationship through working opposite schedules, differences in income, and how supporting her musician boyfriend and attending shows helped her discover signs that would later be confirmed as a diagnosis of autism. She tells us how her perspective changed after her diagnosis and how her and her husband created a system that worked for them and saved their relationship.
Comedian and actor Nathan Ehrmann (@justmadebynate) joins Jasmine and Ky to talk about his time living as a foreigner in Japan, how he got into a bicycle accident that got complicated very quickly, and how the experience of living abroad expanded his world view.
Comedian Austin Smartt (@austinissmartt) from the popular podcast Gender Fluids joins Jasmine and Ky to talk three different salty stories culminating in a sexual encounter with a teacher in a small town. In a very interesting and powerful episode, the three cover a lot of salty ground. NOTE: A portion of this episode is quite graphic and may not be appropriate for younger children. Listener discretion is advised.
Jasmine and Ky sit down to talk celebrity beefs, specifically Katt Williams and Tiffany Haddish. They explore what these beefs mean on the surface and the underlying implications that insults in a public fight can mean about how people perceive other people and their place in certain industries.

Comedian Holli Cuomo joins Jasmine and Ky to talk about how bad relationships can bring out the worst in you, how not respecting yourself can lead to terrible life choices, and how she realized that a relationship was turning both of the people in it into monsters.
Comedian Melody Shifflet (@smelodysnifflet) joins Ky and Jasmine to talk about the concept of being a “mom” friend, how it can be draining to be an emotional anchor for others, and how being too emotionally available can quickly turn into a one-way sympathy street.Â

Comedian and writer Nikita Redkar (@theredkareport) joins Ky and Jasmine to talk about her saltiness over the high standards held for her while growing up with Indian immigrant parents, how it affected her growing up, and ultimately where she thinks the stereotype of higher standards in immigrant families is rooted.Â
Jasmine and Ky sit down to talk about body dysmorphia and unrealistic physical standards, how compliments that seem nice can have a backhanded tone to them, and how to navigate your own self-worth in a world that’s focused on the numbers on the scales or on the tags of your clothes.
