  • DIVORCED!!! (w/ Jackie Johnson)

    DIVORCED!!! (w/ Jackie Johnson)
    Apr 18 2025
    Comedian and friend Jackie Johnson was terrified to do this podcast… until she got a divorce. She joins Nicole to talk about dating a record number of canceled UCB comedians, surviving a nightmare marriage, and only realizing she was unhappy after it ended (plus how to spot signs of abuse in your own relationship). Jackie shares how therapy—and a witch’s spell—helped her find true love. Plus, they discuss the red flags they missed in past relationships, why getting married on Valentine’s Day was a HUGE mistake, the secret to getting out of jury duty, and Jackie’s genius advice on when to swoop in and land a man.Chicago!

  • The Funny Guy Trap (w/ Wayne Brady)

    The Funny Guy Trap (w/ Wayne Brady)
    Apr 4 2025

    Comedian Wayne Brady (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, What If? podcast) joins Nicole to talk about the struggles of dating when everyone expects you to be the funny guy from TV. He opens up about being an introvert, and how his dates sometimes get disappointed when he's not his 'persona' they know him for. Wayne shares the wild story of dating someone whose parent was openly racist, the struggles he's faced navigating racism in relationships, and what it's like dating as a single father. Plus, the crazy story of how he got fired from Disneyland playing Tigger... the day before landing his big break.
