About this episode

British stand-up Jamali Maddix joins Naomi and Andy to discuss male friendships, his experiences on Taskmaster, and answer listener advice questions.

One of our favs from Taskmaster, British stand-up Jamali Maddix joins us this week! Now, like I said, Jamali first captured our hearts on Taskmaster series 11, but he's also been on tons of other panel shows, most notably as a regular panelist on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and hosted his own docuseries Hate Thy Neighbor, where he tours far-right hate groups around the world to try and figure them out. Yikes! On today's episode, we start out discussing shit-talking & male friendships, which leads us to getting Jamali to dish about Taskmaster, as well as learning to be a real person, being haunted by endless wanting, a near-death experience in Thailand and SO MUCH MORE! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions! If you'd like to ask your own advice questions, call 323-524-7839 and leave a VM or just DM us on IG or Twitter ! Andy's latest essay can be found here!
