Show Notes
Comedian, actor, and Emmy Award-winning writers Rosebud Baker (The Motherload, Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy Schumer) and Judy Gold (Not Suitable for Work, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness) join Jameela for an episode that somehow ends up on the freeway.
Two women with a combined four Emmy Awards and an extensive history of catastrophic decision-making sit down to compare notes on humiliation, and it goes exactly as well as you'd expect.
Judy describes the night she accidentally outed a closeted castmate while trying to be a good lesbian. Rosebud recounts the Thanksgiving she tried to rescue a sunken golf cart on her father's country club before cursing everything with the phrase "This can't get any worse." And Jameela contributes her own golf cart story, which involves the Universal lot, a freeway, and a teenage temp whose career was nearly ended.
In Misery Loves Company: listener Angela takes one bong hit on her stoner roommate's advice before a job interview, and does not get the job.
