About this episode

Keke Palmer and Michelle Buteau discuss body shame, confidence, and turning perceived flaws into strengths during a comedic and therapeutic conversation.

It’s giving girls’ night, comedy special, and therapy session all in one. Comedian Michelle Buteau takes Keke from body shame and bad advice to a one-night stand turned Dutch love story, proving that the things people tell you to shrink can become your greatest superpower. Along the way, they share hilarious stories and talk confidence, sex, rejection, motherhood, Survival of the Thickest, and Michelle’s history-making Radio City Music Hall moment. Plus, a game of Password that goes completely off the rails. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
