Summary

Comedian Jana Schmieding (Reservation Dogs, Rutherford Falls) joins Nicole to discuss chub chasers, the difference between being fetishized and being genuinely wanted, and what it was like to date a man with body shame. She shares what it was like to date a sacred Native man, including a agonising "breakup ceremony" he put her through. Plus, they break down Curvy Wife Guy’s BBW bop, try to understand whatever the hell is happening between Kanye and Bianca Censori, and Jana shares her new daily ritual - a 6 seconds kiss on the lips to keep love alive.
