This is a podcast about apologies. Each week, our hosts unpack the latest and greatest in Twitter gaffes, petty beef, and not-so-subtle shade. Forgive? Forget? Or cancel? Listen to comedians Hoja Lopez, Mohanad Elshieky, and Kiki Monique process our public and personal controversies together. Let’s debate when to let stuff go and when to say #ImSorry.
This episode has everything: phony phone calls, fake followers, Kiki’s Sharon Osbourne impression. Listen as hosts Hoja, Kiki, and Mohanad unpack the questionable rise and quick downfall of OZY Media. They talk about Ben Smith’s damning New York Times article, the infamous Goldman Sachs call, and OZY CEO Carlos Watson’s redemption tour. Will OZY earn a spot in the ‘Fake it till you Make it’ Hall of Shame alongside Theranos and Fyre Festival? Listen to find out.
Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss. This week, Hoja, Kiki, and Mohanad break down the queen of MLMs: LuLaRoe. They talk about the company’s Mormon roots, their predatory recruitment process, and figure out just how much breast milk you’d need to sell to afford the company’s steep startup costs. Then, an interview with Lauren Covey Carson, a former LuLaRoe consultant who was featured in the LuLaRich documentary. Plus, Mohanad apologizes to Mario Lopez and Hoja reads some 1-star reviews for LuLaRich.
This week, Kiki, Hoja, and Mohanad unpack CBS’s reality TV nightmare, The Activist. They dissect it all: from the competition aspect, to the celebrity judges, and the Internet outrage. Listen to them analyze apologies from Global Citizen, Priyanka Chopra, and Julianne Hough… and quietly side-eye Usher’s absolute silence. Plus, an interview with 22-year-old climate activist Clover Hogan, who went through the bizarre audition process for the show.
The Case of Jillian Michaels v. Lizzo
n this episode, Kiki, Mohanad, and Hoja take a deep dive into fitness expert Jillian Michaels’ fatphobic past – from growing up as an overweight child, to becoming a trainer on The Biggest Loser, to her recent comments about Lizzo. They look at the legacy of the show, recap some of Hollywood’s worst fatphobic TV shows and movies (yes – that includes Shallow Hal), and analyze Jillian’s not-so-apologetic apology. Plus, Kiki talks about her experience at The Biggest Loser Hotel, and Hoja reveals which reality competition show she was once on.
The Worst Apologies of All Time
Kevin Spacey. SoHo Karen. President Obama. What do these people all have in common? They’re terrible apologizers! On this episode of I’m Sorry, hosts Hoja, Mohanad, and Kiki reveal their picks for the worst apologies of all time. Who will take the crown? Will it be Shia LaBeouf’s plagiarized apology for plagiarism? Model Carissa Pinkston’s lie about being transgender in an apology for transphobic remarks? Or Mario Batali’s sexual assault apology slash cinnamon roll recipe? Listen to find out!

How did ‘Jeopardy!’ go from America’s favorite game show to America’s favorite shit show? This week on I’m Sorry, hosts Hoja, Mohanad, and Kiki discuss the man behind the mess: Mike Richards. Who is he? Where did he come from? And why didn’t SONY listen to his podcast before hiring him? They unpack the swift rise and fall of Richards, and take their pick for who should host in his wake. Plus, the introduction to our new segment, Sorry Not Sorry, in which our hosts spill who they need to apologize to this week – or better yet – who needs to apologize to them.

The Evolution of Chrissy Teigen
Christine Diane Teigen. Mother, model, mayor of Twitter. In the inaugural episode of I’m Sorry, hosts Hoja Lopez, Mohanad Elshieky, and Kiki Monique explore the humble origins of the clapback queen herself: from growing up in small-town Washington, to getting discovered at a California surf shop, and eventually becoming the founding member of “Cancel Club.” In part 1 of our 2-part Chrissy Teigen deep dive, we answer: how did the empire fall… and can it be rebuilt?
