About this episode

"We're taught to laugh at guys' jokes that aren't funny so they don't feel insecure."

Whitney Cummings (stand-up, creator of Two Broke Girls) explains why she likes to be the beta in her relationship, what's it like living with a sex doll of herself, and why emojis are a red flag for her. She also gives Nicole tips how to manage rowdy audience members at live shows and discuss why we shouldn't encourage bad jokes from men.

Nicole shares the difference between dating improvisers and comedians.
