Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Disaster: Drawn to It or Drawn to You?

[02:27 – 03:32]

• Jameela Jamil kicks things off by asking if her guests are magnets for disaster or if they chase chaos for the story.
• Margaret Cho confesses that disasters happen and “I just absorb them...if you’re a comic, you can use them as material.”
• Brandi Denise admits, “I allow situations to continue out because I’m there for the story, baby.”
• Both agree: sometimes you’re “here for the plot” and want to see “how does this end?”

2. Micro-Humiliations: The Scale of Embarrassment

[03:34 – 07:29]

• Margaret Cho tells an airport tale of mistakenly eating another person’s breakfast burrito and escaping before her crime is discovered.
  • “I choked it down and I walked out as quickly as possible.” [04:52 – Margaret Cho]
  • Jameela sums it up: “You deep throated a burrito at 8 o’ clock in the morning?” [04:55]
• Brandi Denise shares her middle school plight: period starts during class, no products, so she improvises with tissue. The tissue pad falls out in front of her crush and is kicked around class before reaching her.
  • “...just a red beanbag. Just on the ground...I’m like, is that me? And they kick it to me. I’m like, gross. And I kick it.” [06:24 – Brandi Denise]
  • Both identify with the need for plausible deniability in embarrassing situations.

3. Jameela’s Wrong Turn: Ant Poison Karma

[07:56 – 10:40]

• Jameela recounts how she and her boyfriend, James, accidentally poisoned themselves with outdoor ant spray left on their kitchen floor. Projectile vomiting, trip to the ER, and “direct karma” led to a new insect policy.
  • “The most absorbent part of your body is your fucking feet. So we were full of the very ant poison…” [09:27 – Jameela]
  • “Wouldn't it be amazing if I’m actually the ant? And now my antenna comes out…” [10:40 – Jameela]

4. Margaret Cho’s Big Mistake: The Fruit-Only Diet Disaster

[13:05 – 21:46]

Margaret recounts her “wrong turn” with punishing diets, escalating to only eating fruit—alphabetically.

• She describes how, on a persimmon phase, she suddenly, desperately needed to go to the bathroom while stuck in LA rush hour. Bargaining with her own body failed, resulting in a horrifying, very public accident.
  • “I’m gonna shit my pants right now…trying to bargain with my anus…pinch my asshole. I’m only letting out the liquid and not the solids.” [15:26 – Margaret Cho]
  • “It was so liquid that it just spread over my whole ass…like, the liquid part is leaking through the denim into the fabric of my car seat.” [18:01 – Margaret Cho]
  • “The song ‘Holiday’ by Madonna is blasting—so every time I hear that song now, I have like a PTSD.” [19:11 – Margaret Cho]
  • Jameela: “It’s Lady Macbeth. ‘Out damn spot, out!’ Isn’t it? You know it’ll never go away.” [20:29]
• The story becomes a group analysis of diet culture pressures and whether being thinner could ever justify the humiliation.
  • “You could be anorexic and not be thin, which is the most horrifying thing...how dare you actually be in anorexia and not be thin?” [14:15 – Margaret Cho]

5. Brandi Denise’s Wrong Turn: The Cheaters Caper

[23:47 – 35:56]

Brandi tells her teenage detective saga: after a college boyfriend stands her up for a movie date, she and friends launch a stakeout.

• They don pantyhose on their heads, grab snacks, and film like they’re in “Cheaters,” tailing him as he takes another girl out—movie date and all.
  • “We’re like straight out of high school; this is a mission. It’s Mission Impossible.” [25:48 – Brandi Denise]
  • “I had the little handheld camera…my other homegirl joins us. Now we’re making a full-on episode of ‘Cheaters’.” [26:29]
• Escalates to standing on each others’ shoulders to peek into his window, catching him and the girl in the act (with creative use of bed placement).
  • “We can’t even reach his windows…we completely did a cheerleading thing, singing in harmony…” [28:51]
  • “Looking into the window is just like his bed. So I don’t see him per se. I see his ankles, which means he was standing on his bed.” [29:36]
  • Jameela: “She’s protecting her knees, and I respect that woman for that.” [29:46]
• Brandi barges into the apartment (back door unlocked), confronts him, and claims she just needs her computer monitor back, refusing to acknowledge her own jealousy.
  • “I didn’t want to seem, like, desperate about the date. So…‘You need to give me my laptop monitor back.’” [30:48]
  • Ends with confessions of subsequent emotional reckoning, turning ‘savage’, and evolving beyond her “detective” phase.

6. Listener Submission + Jameela’s Farty Encore

[36:07 – 39:22]

• A listener’s queefing-in-the-train-station disaster sets the group howling.
  • “My vagina very loudly queefed a few times at the rhythm I was talking.” [36:31 – Listener]
  • Jameela: “I asked her if I could call her Queef Latifah. And she said yes.” [36:42]
• Jameela adds her own tale: her boyfriend James covers up an echoing bathroom fart by singing along in the shower.
  • “He sings such a long, beautiful song that he’s improvising in the moment…and I know what’s happened because it was so obviously from his asshole.” [37:50]
• The trio briefly discuss whether farting in front of your partner should ever be routine.
  • “No, it’s fine. Some people think it’s the height of intimacy. I just think there’s certain information that should not be shared.” [39:04]

[Brandi Denise]

I think you'll hear about it in my story.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay, do you have any examples of micro humiliations to kind of give us an idea of what your scale of embarrassment is?

[Margaret Cho]

Well, one was I was at the airport very early and I was really hungry and I ordered a. A breakfast burrito. And I'm on the phone with somebody and I'm talking and the breakfast burrito came up really quickly, like almost instantaneously. So I'll take it. And I took it and I started eating it. And then while I'm eating it, the person at the counter came up and she goes, margaret, your burrito's ready. Margaret. Margaret. And then another person started coming up and going, well, I ordered a burrito a while ago and I don't know where it is. I obviously, I was eating that person's burrito and I was trying to choke it down as fast as I could because it was so embarrassing that I was eating this person's burrito. They were having an argument and still I'm hearing, Margaret, Margaret. And the person I'm on the phone with was a witness. And they're laughing at the fact that I'm trying to eat this burrito while my name is being called.

[Jameela Jamil]

Just scoffing it down.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah. And this other person is yelling about their burrito and where is it? And they've been waiting for a long time. And it was so funny and so embarrassing.

[Jameela Jamil]

Did they ever find out?

[Margaret Cho]

No, because I choked it down and I walked out as quickly as possible.

[Jameela Jamil]

You deep throated a burrito at 8 o' clock in the morning?

[Margaret Cho]

I took it all the way to the burrito end. Till the wrapped end.

[Jameela Jamil]

Jesus Christ. Yes. What about you, Brandy? Any micro humiliation stories?

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah, I was in. It was like early middle school. And, you know, I'm a woman. I identify as a woman. And I had started my menstrual and I can say periods. Well, yeah, okay. I started bleeding, y'.

[Ad Voice]

All.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay.

[Brandi Denise]

So I wasn't, you know, I was young. I wasn't.

[Jameela Jamil]

I started Aunt Flo's monthly visits.

[Brandi Denise]

I didn't track it and I didn't know and I didn't. I wasn't, you know, used to signs and things like that yet.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

And so it started in the middle of Spanish class. And we were about to take a test. And so I tell my teacher, Mr. Julio. That's his real name, Mr. Julio. Hey, I have a. Hold on.

[Margaret Cho]

I'm sorry.

[Brandi Denise]

The licking. So I was like, okay, I have a. I have to go to the bathroom. I go to the bathroom. Don't have any type of products. They didn't have them in the middle school bathroom. So I do what any, you know, 12, 11 year old girl would do. I just get a bunch of tissue. I'm like, yeah, it's the plan. Shove it down my pants.

[Jameela Jamil]

I still do that.

[Brandi Denise]

This is me today.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

And so I do it. And I had on really short shorts that day. And so I go in the class, I take my test, and my crush was in there. His name was Miles Walker. He's sitting in there. I get done with my test, I raise my hand, go to the front. And I don't know if I had a loose underwear or what, but it fell out.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

On the floor. And I go. I didn't know. I didn't.

[Jameela Jamil]

How big is it? Like fist.

[Brandi Denise]

It was like, Like. Yeah, like. Like this? Probably like this.

[Jameela Jamil]

And has it gone, like solid?

[Brandi Denise]

It was. It was pretty soaked. Oh, so it fell out red.

[Jameela Jamil]

Like a dead rat?

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah, like just a red beanbag. Just on the ground. And so my crush. I don't know how, but it fell in front of him. He sees it, he gets up to go turn to his test. He. He goes, ew, what is this? And kicks it to another student. The other student goes, gross. And they kick it to another student. And I'm like, is that me? And they kick it to me. I'm like, gross. And I kick it. I'm like, yeah, that's real nasty. I gotta go to the bathroom again.

[Margaret Cho]

Well, the liability, so that nobody knew who it came from.

[Brandi Denise]

I did what you did. I just left that joint.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah, completely what it is.

[Brandi Denise]

I don't know who Margaret is.

[Margaret Cho]

Plausible deniability. Because it's like you can definitely, if you're asked to kick it where it's Being kicked to you. And then you kick it away. You kicked away the situation, Margaret.

[Jameela Jamil]

I don't know. You've got to keep control of your puppy because this dog is bathing Brandi. Any part of her skin that is.

[Margaret Cho]

She's like, can't get enough of you.

[Jameela Jamil]

You're gonna. I think. I think Lucci is gonna eat Brandy by the end.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

I don't think we're compatible, baby girl.

[Jameela Jamil]

I think that is the opposite of the problem. I think I've never seen. I want you two to get a room. Like, this is.

[Brandi Denise]

She's sitting there, like, staring.

[Jameela Jamil]

Like, she's staring. I would like to start the episode this week with one of my micro humiliations. I don't even know if I'd call it micro, which is that I had this memory this morning when I was on my way into work of something really embarrassing that happened with myself and my boyfriend, which is that we had an ant problem in our kitchen. We went and we bought ant spray, ant killer spray. I think it was like Raid or something. We sprayed it all over the kitchen floor. And then we got our dinner and then got on with our night and then went to bed. And then at about 1am, James wakes up and starts projectile vomiting. Something black, like black poison. And his nerves start, like. His whole body starts shaking and his nerves are in agony. And this man never gets sick, like, the whole time of COVID He got Covid one time and it was like this. This is his entire symptoms once. That was it. That was his entire Covid experience. I've never seen him sick. And he's dying right in front of me. And then we're trying to figure it out, trying to look after him. We're not sure if we should take him to the emergency room or not. He just keeps vomiting and vomiting. I'm like, what did he eat? We'd eaten the same thing that night. And it's black. What? He's vomiting. And then within 40 minutes, I start vomiting black. And now. Now I'm like, now, this is serious. We should go to a hospital. We have a problem now? No, but we're now both, like, falling apart and now unable to look after each other. There's no one who can look after him, and there's no one who can look after us. So we're like, fuck, I think we do actually need to get to the hospital. So we barely managed to get ourselves into a cab, go to the emergency room, and are now falling apart. Like, truly, all of our nerves are, like, on fire. It feels like, we have fevers of like 102, 103. We're becoming delirious. We're trying to explain to the doctors what the fuck has happened. And we realize he's bought Outdoor Raid outdoor ant spray, which you are never supposed to ever go near. And we've been walking on it with our fucking bare feet when we went to get our dinner in the kitchen. And it's the most absorbent part of your body is your fucking feet. So we were full of the very ant poison that we had tried to put into those small, innocent ants that were just trying to get a fucking snack. And that was direct karma. And it changed our philosophy for the rest of time towards how we treat insects. Peppermint oil. We will divert. We'll be cleaner people. But we both almost died.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

That night from fucking ant poison.

[Margaret Cho]

That's so scary.

[Jameela Jamil]

So when it says, outside, James, put it outside. Put it the fuck outside. That was his domain, not mine. But yeah, almost died in quite humiliating fashion.

[Brandi Denise]

That sounds like an episode of Black Mirror. Yeah, like, well, how. Honey, I shrunk the ants. And then they. It's the new version.

[Jameela Jamil]

Wouldn't it be amazing if I'm actually the ant? And now my antenna comes out and we've fallen laughing at you. Okay, I'm dying to get into your stories. We're gonna be right back after the break.

[Jameela Jamil]

So, Margaret, tell me what was your wrong turn?

[Margaret Cho]

My wrong turn is I had a really bad problem in always going on crazy diets. I'm like, this is the diet that's going to work. This is the thing. This is the thing. And so I came upon one diet where I only ate fruit. And it was an offshoot of another diet that I started that was raw food. And then it was raw, vegan, like nothing processed, nothing. Like.

[Jameela Jamil]

And what year was this?

[Margaret Cho]

This was in 2000.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. No one knew how to cook raw food then at all. It was just ass and like tree bark, basically.

[Margaret Cho]

Like any, you know, raw, just whatever, produce. I was just eating fruit as it just became easier. And then I was just going to eat one fruit and I went through the Alphabet. I started with apples, then went to bananas. I was on this diet for a long time. So I got to persimmons.

[Jameela Jamil]

How exciting was your personality at this time?

[Margaret Cho]

I was not. I was so dry. I was like, you know, we're just dry angry.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

I didn't have a period at all.

[Brandi Denise]

Oh, like, like bad.

[Margaret Cho]

But it wasn't thinner. Yeah, like, I was just like melon. You know, you could be anorexic and not be thin, which is the most horrifying thing. Like, I mean, like, how dare you actually be in anorexia and not even be thin? Like, I was so betrayed by the system.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

Were you juicing?

[Margaret Cho]

Juicing.

[Jameela Jamil]

But like, she's on a full sugar Diet.

[Margaret Cho]

It's all sugar.

[Brandi Denise]

It is.

[Margaret Cho]

It's all fruit. So it is juicing. But mostly just eating the fruit, sometimes drying it, like in a food dehydrator.

[Jameela Jamil]

More sugar, faster and smaller bites.

[Brandi Denise]

Just eating that. Good.

[Margaret Cho]

And I.

[Jameela Jamil]

And Margaret got diabetes, right.

[Margaret Cho]

That's what I probably should. That's probably what it should have happened. But I was driving in like rush hour traffic and I didn't think about it. I didn't think about it. I was like, I'm just gonna get in the car. I'm gonna need to drive. And I was in the middle, on the far left, far from the exit, couldn't get off, trapped in traffic and realized, I'm gonna shit my pants right now. I'm gonna shit my pants right now. And then I'm trying to bargain, like with myself. Well, maybe I'll just let out a little bit.

[Brandi Denise]

What if I just.

[Margaret Cho]

Honey, Let out a little bit.

[Jameela Jamil]

So I are trying to bargain with your anus?

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah, I'm trying to bargain. So I'm trying to pinch my asshole.

[Jameela Jamil]

Sorry.

[Margaret Cho]

I'm trying to pinch it so that I'm only letting out the liquid and not the solids.

[Brandi Denise]

Because I think that's. What do you have two separate entrances?

[Jameela Jamil]

What is this?

[Brandi Denise]

That's some control right there.

[Margaret Cho]

You know when you can just kind of.

[Jameela Jamil]

No, what do you have, like a strainer?

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

That you can.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

What's happening here?

[Margaret Cho]

I think there is like just. I don't know why I was just able to make that bargain for myself. I'm just going to let out the tip. Maybe like if I let out a little bit.

[Jameela Jamil]

Maybe you're trying to let out the solid, not the liquid.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah, well, let out the liquid instead of the solid, but maybe let out a little bit of all of it to. Just. Because it was like build up. Pressure was building.

[Brandi Denise]

Question was like pulling over, not an option.

[Margaret Cho]

Well, I was so far in the traffic and so you know how they don't let you in?

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

So they won't let you out. When you're like back to back traffic, LA traffic. Yeah. And you're in the far left lane and you can't get off and it's just. You're gonna try, but it was. The onset of the shit was so sudden.

[Brandi Denise]

Oh, my God.

[Margaret Cho]

Because you know when you eat something like that and you're only eating that, like your digestive system is so off.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. But also you're on like fiber. You're in Fiber city.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

So there's no balance, there's no regulation it's just. It was irrational. Suddenly I'm hit with the shit sweats. Like, it wasn't like I had any time to think, maybe I should go to the bathroom. No, no, none of that. And the whole time and so sorry, just.

[Jameela Jamil]

So your thinking was this A little bit, for some reason, reminds me of the earthquakes in la where I feel like the reason we haven't had the big quake is because we've had all these little quakes. And I'm like, are they the little farts before the big. You know what I mean? It's like we keep getting these little releases of. Of energy, of tension and forwards. It gives us. It buys us more time. And I feel as though my philosophy with the LA earthquakes is the same as yours with your bum hole. Right. You were just like, give it a bit, delay the bit.

[Margaret Cho]

That's what I thought. That's what I thought.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

I thought that I was, you know, saving myself something. I thought I was doing some service to myself by trying to separate it, trying to delay the inevitable.

[Jameela Jamil]

And.

[Margaret Cho]

But then I was like, I'm shitting. And then I just had to just let it go. Like, I couldn't because the pressure was so intense and it was so painful. I had to just let it go. And then it all started coming out. And then the whole time.

[Jameela Jamil]

What were you wearing?

[Brandi Denise]

Jeans.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay.

[Brandi Denise]

How do you do that sitting down? Did you have to, like, lift up?

[Margaret Cho]

No, because it was so liquid that it just spread over my whole ass.

[Brandi Denise]

Oh, my God.

[Margaret Cho]

So it's like. It's not like a. One solid came out. It was like all of the liquid spread over.

[Jameela Jamil]

It's like a tsunami. You know what I mean? It just sort of goes all around.

[Margaret Cho]

And around to the.

[Jameela Jamil]

You know how, like, at the end of the world movies where, like, the water engulfs the Statue of Liberty?

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Like Margaret's. The Statue of Liberty, just like washing.

[Margaret Cho]

Up to her head, coming up the sides, rapidly getting cold. It's like making Greek yogurt. You know when you drain the milk solids through the cheesecloths and you.

[Jameela Jamil]

Is that what you were trying.

[Margaret Cho]

That's what I was doing with my shit. I was making like a shit strainer. Like a ricotta, Right? Like a shit. Separating the liquid whey from the milk solids.

[Brandi Denise]

Chemistry or something.

[Jameela Jamil]

That's how they make paneer.

[Brandi Denise]

Just try to separate the elements.

[Margaret Cho]

But my jeans are holding it in.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. But thank God. Cause it comes out so hot. Yeah, it's lava.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah, it's like lava and acid. And so it's hurting my skin. And, like, kind of just it's starting to leak through. Like, the liquid part of it is leaking through the denim into the fabric of my car seat.

[Jameela Jamil]

Has it got those little air pockets so that it's going into your.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah, it's going into the actual seat the whole time. The song Holiday by Madonna is blasting. So every time I hear that song now, I have, like, a ptsd.

[Brandi Denise]

Your stomach's like, poo tsd, Poo tsd.

[Margaret Cho]

It's coming out, and I'm, like, scared. And then I had to deal with. And then I was still in traffic, and then I'm like, what do I do? What do I do? And it took almost an hour to get home. I sat in it for an hour, and I had to. I lived alone, which was great.

[Jameela Jamil]

So I do.

[Margaret Cho]

And then I was, like, up in my house, like, with a pants full of shit, trying to figure out, do I wash these clothes? Do I just got in the shower?

[Jameela Jamil]

You set your house on fire is what you did.

[Margaret Cho]

I had to relocate to a different city.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. You blow up the car. That's what happened to that Tesla outside the truck building. Someone shit themselves.

[Margaret Cho]

I should do that now to test us. Now that would be great to go for a test drive in the cyber truck and just ruin the whole thing. Yeah. I had. It was a crisis of conscious having to deal with the aftermath of getting in the shower and washing every. I threw everything away. It took a couple of showers.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

I still feel like there should have been.

[Jameela Jamil]

It's Lady Macbeth. It's out damn spot out, isn't it? You know, it'll never go away.

[Margaret Cho]

It'll never go away no matter how much I wash. But that kind of cured me permanently from crazy diets.

[Brandi Denise]

Great.

[Margaret Cho]

Because it was like, what am I doing to my body?

[Jameela Jamil]

Right? Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

Like, what am I? And to no real benefit, because I'm not even thinner. Like, I'm just suffering.

[Jameela Jamil]

Had you been thinner, would you be, like, hashtag worth it? Yeah, totally.

[Margaret Cho]

Because it would have, like, fed into this fantasy. Like, my life will be better if I'm thinner. Which is like, a weird fantasy.

[Jameela Jamil]

I've had Fucking nightmare.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

But it's like this dumb dream that you think, oh, everything's gonna be better.

[Jameela Jamil]

No, it's much worse. I had nothing but constant disasters the whole time. I had anorexia and was doing all of these diets, like, passing out on the toilet, all kinds of things. Yeah. Very Elvis. Very Elvis of me. Just, like, the laxative abuse of it. All of it. It was just the worst. It was so humiliating. And then all of it was like. Part of me was thinking, you know, well, if you get thin, then you'll find love. And it's like I was too tired to fuck anyone. Did you fuck anyone during your fruit phase?

[Margaret Cho]

No. No.

[Jameela Jamil]

Exactly. Of course you didn't.

[Margaret Cho]

I can't.

[Jameela Jamil]

And thank God you would have shat all over them.

[Margaret Cho]

You would just shit all over everything. There's no way. And all the unpredictability of it. And then also, you can't go out to eat anywhere.

[Jameela Jamil]

No, no. Just the farmer's market.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. You've actually traumatized me around Madonna's song Holiday.

[Margaret Cho]

Now I can never listen to.

[Jameela Jamil]

That's an incredible scene from a movie that is just. It's the happiest song on earth. Sorry that happened to you. And while we all recover, let's go to a quick break.

[Brandi Denise]

Okay, so I wanna preface this with saying I was 19.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay, you're forgiven.

[Brandi Denise]

Not able to emotionally regulate myself. So I had been dating this guy for about a year in college. He was like my college boyfriend. We were off in this season, and he had hit me up to get back on.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay. So I mean, taking a break.

[Brandi Denise]

Taking a break. But we kind of did this dance.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay.

[Brandi Denise]

So he. It's around that Time he's calling me.

[Jameela Jamil]

Would you argue and then break up? Or was it just sort of like we're going off to our hometowns for the summer?

[Brandi Denise]

No, it would be like an argument and then we would like reconnect or, you know, whatever. And we was just. It was kind of an on and off thing. So this was our off time. We were getting back on. We were talking on the phone and stuff. He calls me, he's like, hey, do you wanna go to the movies tomorrow? I'm like, yeah, let's go to the movies. So tomorrow comes and I don't get a call, I don't get a text, I don't get anything. And so I'm kind of trying to play it cool because we're like kind of getting back into it. And then he doesn't call or text. So I call. No answer. I call. No answer. I call. So my girlfriend at the time, there's like college apartments. She lives on the other side of his college apartment. Her name is Grace. She's like, oh, he. He like, do you want me to ride past and see if his car's home? And so I'm like, yeah, go ride past, see if his car.

[Jameela Jamil]

Are you worried about him or you just think something's up?

[Brandi Denise]

I don't know, but all I know is we had a movie date and what's going on?

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

So she rides back, she's like, oh, his car is there and looks like his like living room light is on. Interesting. She's like, you want to come over and just like hang out? I'm like, yeah. So I go to her house and hang out. We're at her house, we're like eating snacks and stuff. And I'm like, I called again. And I'm like, I can't believe he just like stood me up. Yeah, like, this is not our pattern. Like, what are you doing? We're supposed to get back together. And so she's like, well, you know, we should ride back pass or whatever. So before we get ready to ride back past, we decided to make this.

[Jameela Jamil]

Like a little game.

[Brandi Denise]

So we're like, okay, well we're gonna like ride back past maybe and walk past the apartment. So we like put like the little black things under our eyes. We got snacks, we have the pantyhose. Like we're full fledged. Like we're like straight out of high school. We're like, this is a mission. It's mission impossible, right? So it's like eight or nine o'. Clock.

[Jameela Jamil]

We get over there and teenage Girls are so crazy.

[Brandi Denise]

No, because at this point it's like we're making a movie. So we gotta get to the bottom of this. So we get over there, we actually see him leaving his house. Oh, he's leaving. I'm looking at my phone, he still ain't calling me. So we start to follow him. I had like the little, like the little handheld camera like this.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

At this point, my other homegirl joins us. Now we're making a full on episode of Cheaters.

[Jameela Jamil]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

So like we follow him, he goes and picks up the girl. So like in the whole time, I'm still not processing this as like a grievance. I'm like, my girlfriend's in the back. She's like, Brandi. So now you see your boyfriend on a date. I'm like, I can't believe he's on a date. Like we were coarse zooming in on them. I'm in the back. Like, I can't believe cheating on me. You know, like we're role playing a.

[Jameela Jamil]

TV show right now.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Also you're in like hunter mode right now. You know what I mean? You're, you're predator in this mode.

[Brandi Denise]

Hyped up on Mountain Dew and Cheetos.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

We're like eating skittles and shit. Like we really don't.

[Jameela Jamil]

Just bouncing off the walls of the car.

[Brandi Denise]

And my friends are here for pure chaos and entertainment. So we see them at the gas station. Well, he goes inside, he gets some gas. We see the girl in the car. We see them go into. He took her to the movies. We followed them to the movies.

[Jameela Jamil]

To the movie he was gonna take you to.

[Brandi Denise]

To the movie he was gonna take you to.

[Margaret Cho]

That's so rude. What a terrible person.

[Brandi Denise]

He's, he's blocked on Facebook. Just good 15 years later, so still blocked.

[Jameela Jamil]

You're over it.

[Brandi Denise]

So we go. So we go. I see him in the movies. They go to the movies. Me and my girlfriend's gonna like Applebee's across the street or something. Kind of like waiting for them to leave or whatever. So we late for them to leave. We go back to. We go have dinner. We're like still recording at Applebee's, doing like interviews, breaks or whatever. We go back to her house. We see, we go back to her house and we just kind of like decompress and just laugh and joke about it. And she's like, we should go back over there. So I don't know why this made sense. She's like, we should go See what they're doing? Mind you, we're, like, barely into our sophomore year of college now. This is where it gets crazy and very embarrassing for me. I wanna say that I would never do this now.

[Jameela Jamil]

I also like that this is the part where it gets crazy. Yeah. It's just that you're. You've got pantyhose over your head.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

This, you're dressed like you're gonna. Girl.

[Brandi Denise]

That was. Those were games.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah, those were kitty games.

[Brandi Denise]

This is where we really escalate.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

This is gonna stop being normal.

[Brandi Denise]

Now. We're getting into the PhD of the craziness. She's like, let's go look in his window.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

Mind you, I'm five one, she's five feet. The other girl is, like, five two. We can't even reach his windows.

[Jameela Jamil]

No, this sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

We're literally the Chipmunks.

[Jameela Jamil]

See, I'm imagining you all standing on each other's shoulders.

[Brandi Denise]

We completely did a. Cheerleading. Singing in harmony. You have to lock your hands, my friend. You gotta lock your hands. I don't even know how he didn't hear us. We're outside the window.

[Jameela Jamil]

And now I'm imagining, like, one big raincoat covering all three of you just with your bedding.

[Brandi Denise]

We're stacked on top of each other, so they're, like, locking hands, mounting. And then it's like a 1, 2, 3, push up. Okay, Push me up. I look inside, like, his window blinds or whatever is cracked. And, like, looking into the window is just like his bed. So I don't see him, per se. I see his ankles, which means he was standing on his bed.

[Jameela Jamil]

Why is he standing on his bed?

[Brandi Denise]

That's a weird way to receive head, but that's what.

[Jameela Jamil]

How tall is she?

[Brandi Denise]

She was on her knees on the bed. You know what?

[Jameela Jamil]

She's protecting her knees. And I respect that woman for that. I've never even thought about that.

[Brandi Denise]

You know what?

[Jameela Jamil]

I might implement that into my regimen.

[Brandi Denise]

You're like, let me try something new. You stand on the bed.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. Why am I on the wood?

[Brandi Denise]

Actually, she was thinking she was ahead of her time.

[Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

Smart.

[Jameela Jamil]

That's right. Sorry. Okay, but enough about her.

[Brandi Denise]

So I see this. I'm like, put me down. Put me down. I just see red. And I don't know what made me do this, but I just, like, didn't even knock. His back door was right there. I just walked in the door.

[Jameela Jamil]

You should have knocked on the window. He would have been scared.

[Brandi Denise]

The fucking shit I'm like, put me down. I like. I like, he must have heard something. Cause soon as I walk in the back door, he's coming out the room. He's like, brandi, what are you doing? And I'm like. I didn't know what to say. I was so embarrassed. And I didn't want to seem, like, desperate about the date. So he had one of my monitors for my laptop, and I was like, you need to give me my laptop monitor back. Like, that's all I could think to say. Like, that's. I. Could.

[Jameela Jamil]

I.

[Brandi Denise]

Because I couldn't bring the date up. Like, in my mind, it made sense.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah, no, no. I think that was really cool. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

It was so crazy because I'm five one. The girl's like, clearly, like, five nine, and she is, like, in the room with a blanket around her, shaking, like, terrified of me, which I was like.

[Jameela Jamil]

How did he manage to break in the room at 5 foot 1?

[Brandi Denise]

I didn't break into the room. He came running out of the room. I was in the living room of the back door.

[Jameela Jamil]

Right, right, right.

[Brandi Denise]

So I just came in the living room, and he comes out and the door opens.

[Jameela Jamil]

How did you get into the living room? You just, like, banged your way.

[Brandi Denise]

That door was always open. Oh, it was in Florida. We didn't lock doors.

[Jameela Jamil]

Okay, five, five. Five, five, five.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah. Like, we don't lock.

[Jameela Jamil]

No, no. Crime happens in Florida.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah, it's all political. It's not like, at the house.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. So, okay, so you get into the living room. He comes running out.

[Brandi Denise]

She's shaking, scared of me, and she's like, twice my size.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

And I'm.

[Jameela Jamil]

But you have pantyhose on your head.

[Brandi Denise]

No, I had taken those off, but I still had this. I still had on all black. And my homegirl's with me, and she's like, yeah, what the fuck you doing? And so it's like a whole little chipmunk mob come running in. Be like, what's going on? He's like, you know what's going on? And I'm just like, I need my computer back.

[Jameela Jamil]

So what the fuck? Did he give us his reason? Because he knows he's killed.

[Brandi Denise]

He literally was like, you can't be doing this. He's like, but I'll explain. I'll explain later.

[Jameela Jamil]

Like, and what was his explanation?

[Brandi Denise]

Like, he basically said that he planned on taking me to the movies, but she had hit him up earlier.

[Jameela Jamil]

But he asked you first.

[Brandi Denise]

He's a liar. You can't make sense of it. He just. He took her because he wanted to take her.

[Margaret Cho]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Brandi Denise]

And so if anybody's watching this, this is why I'm still traumatized.

[Jameela Jamil]

Oh, yeah. It's really traumatic.

[Margaret Cho]

I'm sorry that happened.

[Jameela Jamil]

I'm sorry that happened.

[Brandi Denise]

I think it's fine.

[Jameela Jamil]

I think it's hilarious. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I find every decision you make makes me find you to be a very exciting person.

[Brandi Denise]

Oh, yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

I'm here for the part. I'm so down for your dramatic approach. Like, this is. Do you have the footage still of that?

[Brandi Denise]

No, and I wish I did, but, you know, it was on one of those, like. It was, like, actually one of the little, small.

[Jameela Jamil]

Oh, my God. I would give anything to watch that film. I would give anything. If anyone can track it down, please let me know, because we will put it out. But that would be amazing.

[Brandi Denise]

That would be amazing. And camera phones weren't great back then.

[Jameela Jamil]

What did you. What did you learn from that time of, like, you know, did it make you more discerning when it came to dating? Did it make you paranoid? And has it made you pull back if you suspect someone's cheating? Does that brandy still exist within you?

[Brandi Denise]

No. I went to. I've been in therapy, so that's gone. But at that particular time, it turned me into a savage.

[Jameela Jamil]

What happened?

[Brandi Denise]

I just had all the boyfriends. Good for you. And I was the player at that point. I was like, what are we doing?

[Jameela Jamil]

They were lined up outside your bedroom window.

[Brandi Denise]

None of this is real. We're 19.

[Jameela Jamil]

Be real.

[Margaret Cho]

So we'll put you in control, which is better.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. Yeah. I've probably been cheated on, but I don't know because I don't text anyone or call them, you know, ever. So I would never. I've said all the time that my boyfriend could have, like, a full other family, and I would have no idea because I don't track his movements. I'm never like, where are you? Where have you been? Like, there's, like, he can go a whole week and I have no idea what he's done. Cause I just have object permanence. I just, like. I'm. Whatever's right in front of me is what I focus on. But. But I.

[Brandi Denise]

You're not an overthinker.

[Jameela Jamil]

No, no, I'm an underthinker. It's completely empty in here.

[Brandi Denise]

That's a beautiful place to be.

[Jameela Jamil]

Nothing's going on. Yeah, no.

[Brandi Denise]

It's so much money on therapy.

[Jameela Jamil]

Have you ever listened to a shell on the beach? That's sort of what my brain sounds like. So it never occurs. It never occurs to me. So I've probably been cheated on by everyone for all I know, but as of yet, I just live blissfully unaware. I don't know what I would do in that moment, but I don't think I'd be as cool as you.

[Brandi Denise]

You know what?

[Jameela Jamil]

I think it was both highly uncool and cool at the same time. Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

I mean, and honestly, like I said, most of the time we were laughing and stuff like that. And I think me and him probably dated a little bit more after that because I do remember.

[Jameela Jamil]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Brandi Denise]

I mean. Cause he was like my on and off boyfriend for most of the time. You were like.

[Jameela Jamil]

I was traumatized afterwards and I became a savage. But yeah, we started dating and he just.

[Brandi Denise]

He got thrown into the mix with the other guy. So I was like, okay, this isn't serious. But I do think like now I. Because my life is so full and I have so many things going on. Yeah. I probably wouldn't know what was happening. Like, I leave town for like three days. I don't know what you did. I was on the road, you know, but when I was 19, I didn't have anything to do with class.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

School wasn't important.

[Jameela Jamil]

Oh, 100%. That story's fucking crazy.

[Brandi Denise]

It is.

[Jameela Jamil]

It's so crazy.

[Brandi Denise]

It's my favorite. It's one of my favorite. And actually in our adulthood, me and him have still been in contact a little bit. And so he's just. We laugh about it now.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah.

[Brandi Denise]

And he remembers details. I don't. I'm like, oh, damn, you're right.

[Jameela Jamil]

Did you get your monitor back?

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah, I did. I did. Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. Good. So self righteous.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

Just walking out of there with your pantyhose.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah. My Cheetos.

[Jameela Jamil]

Yeah. You don't deserve me just covered in Cheeto dust.

[Brandi Denise]

What are you doing?

[Jameela Jamil]

Amazing. Okay, so before you go, and thank you both so much for your wonderful stories, both foul and humiliating and perfect in all of their ways. I have a story from a listener who says that one time I was standing in a train station with lots of echoing. And while I was talking to my friends, my vagina very loudly queefed a few times at the rhythm I was talking.

[Brandi Denise]

Oh, my God.

[Jameela Jamil]

Oh, God. You know, like sometimes when you laugh and the fart goes like.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah.

[Jameela Jamil]

It's like your asshole's joining the laugh. At the rhythm I was talking. It was very loud and obvious, but everyone just acted like it didn't happen. I didn't know where the queefing comes from, but it happens a lot. Please. Oh, no. Yeah. Please keep this anonymous. I did, and I. I asked her if I could call her Queef Latifah. And she said yes. That's a great name. Oh, that's so humiliating. My. I had a boyfriend who is a singer. Fuck it. It's James. My boyfriend once was. We were, like, early on a date, and he farted in the shower. But it was one of those, like, really fancy marble bathrooms, those huge ones, and like a really, like, elegant, big, echoey hotel room. You know, it's early dating. Trying to impress each other. And I hear the shower, and then I hear. But it's kind of like. It sounds almost like a note. And then I hear him immediately match the note and try and turn it into a song to try and cover for what's happened. So it's so. It's kind of like. And he's not trying to be funny. He's trying to genuinely make me believe that that first note came out of his mouth. Right. And sings such a long, beautiful song that he's improvising in the moment. And it's so angelic. And the echo and the reverb we're getting. And I know what's happened because it was so obviously from his asshole, you know, almost like that. What's that grass that you can use as, like, a tune to find the note. So he comes out, and I'm just looking. I'm just looking down at the bed. I don't know what to do. I don't have to. Like, I've got no poker face whatsoever. So I'm like. I just can't make eye contact with him. And he comes out and he's super defensive immediately. She's like, what? What? Why are you being weird? And I was like, I'm not being weird. He was like, why are you being weird? And then fucking lost it. But it reminded me a little bit of that. And that can happen. And it was a very bonding moment. But we've never farted in front of each other ever. Oh, really? Yeah.

[Margaret Cho]

Wow.

[Jameela Jamil]

Eleven years.

[Margaret Cho]

That's incredible.

[Brandi Denise]

Yeah, I don't believe in that either.

[Jameela Jamil]

Well, farting in front of him, the mystery is gone.

[Margaret Cho]

When you.

[Brandi Denise]

I just can't.

[Margaret Cho]
