About this episode
This week, Liz sits down with Rachel — comedian, stuntwoman, and the first female cast member of Jackass — for a conversation that is somehow both deeply unhinged and deeply moving. They talk about what it actually means to choose pain, why women have been choosing pain since before it was a franchise, and why emotional pain will always hit harder than licking a taser.
