Kat Bird and Ava Bunn

Comedian and actor Kat Bird (Tigerbelly, Sideboob podcast, Netflix Is a Joke Festival May 8th) and comedian and actor Ava Bunn (Scrubs on Hulu, JFL’s 2025 New Faces, Late Bloomers at Netflix Is a Joke Festival May 8th) join Jameela this week with stories that will make you feel significantly better about your own love life.

Kat shares what happened when she re-entered the dating world after seven years, including one encounter set to some extremely ill-chosen background music, and another involving a life-sized pillow of Michael B. Jordan and thirty-five minutes of shimmying politely in the background. Ava, meanwhile, shares what happens when you answer a phone call mid-hookup convinced it's a casting director, and what happens when the entire contents of a large coffee decide to make their exit during a Zoom audition with Mindy Kaling.

This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Jess, whose very enthusiastic sex life managed to send a firefighter back into a second round of ACL surgery, and inspires the team to ask: "Should we have signature moves?"

You can follow Kat on Instagram at @katbirdcomedy and find her tour dates at katbirdcomedy.com. Catch Ava in her monthly show Late Bloomers in LA and New York, find her online at @avamariebun, and watch her every Wednesday on Scrubs on ABC and Hulu.
