About this episode

Nicole Byer chats with comedian Nicholas Scheppard about the challenges of working with an ex and the complexities of relationships post-breakup.

Comedian and drag queen Nicholas Scheppard ( Very Gay Paint , Art to Me ) is fresh out of a breakup. He joins Nicole for a chat about the uphill climb out of it, why working with an ex-boyfriend is absolute torture, and the haunting theory that your partner will tell you exactly how they'll break your heart in the first week. Nicole shares the messy story about a situationship who didn't believe in monogamy, and her obsession with her Ninja Creami.
