DeepSummary
The episode features a conversation with callers seeking advice on various personal issues. One caller discusses her friend's habit of leaving used tissues everywhere, and the hosts suggest providing a car trash can along with a recorded message encouraging her to dispose of the tissues properly. Another caller talks about her husband's lack of verbal cues when listening, leading the hosts to recommend strategies like stopping mid-story to test his attention or mimicking his behavior.
Later, a previous caller provides a follow-up on implementing the hosts' advice regarding hosting a party to celebrate her breast augmentation surgery. Though the plans were scaled down, she still celebrated with friends by painting breast portraits and watching a risqué dating show. The episode also includes a candid chat with guest Jameela Jamil, who shares anecdotes from her acting experience on The Good Place.
Jamil humorously recounts her struggles with digestive issues while filming, which she believes helped her deliver an uninhibited performance. She also discusses her transition from radio hosting to acting and writing, originally intending to create her own show before landing the role on The Good Place unexpectedly.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “I never thought I would get anything. And so since I've been allowed in, I've compared this before on my podcast to being a wedding crasher. And just, like, I'm in here now, I'm just gonna steal all the shit that I can before someone until it's over. Someone recognizes me and throws me out.“ by Jamila Jamil
- “If you see someone using an old tissue, that might be the only tissue they have available. They didn't use their sleeves. Or their hands. I'm like, that's what someone had sometimes.“ by Jamila Jamil
