A Wild Journey Through Sex, Divorce, and...

Dear Media
About this episode

Strap in for an unfiltered (and inspirational) journey with the hilarious Jiaoying Summers. She takes us through growing up in China with an overprotective mother, to then coming to the US and finding love with someone whose family didn't approve of her, breaking up, and then marrying a controlling man who she had children with. She takes us through that divorce and what she had to do to break away and bring her kids to the US with no money and a desire to pursue standup comedy. We discuss her sex life with her current partner (and he makes a cameo), her current relationship with her mom, the huge celebs who are fans of HER, how she got confident later in life, being a role model to her kids, and so much more. And then we answer some "Is this weird?" listener submissions about eating ass and cheating. Before Jiaoying joins us, we discuss the appropriate length of voice notes, Ashley's recent beef with her fiancé/roommate, and a story about Rayna in Austin we've been gatekeeping. Enjoy!
