Jessimae Peluso and Justin Martindale

Comedians Jessimae Peluso (Girl Code, Sharp Tongue, Dying Laughing podcast) and Justin Martindale (Just Sayin’ podcast, Gay Bash) join Jameela Jamil for a Wrong Turns episode that escalates from bad dates into full survival mode.

Jessimae shares how mistaking a walking red flag for romance led to “dating the DSM-5,” escalating behavior, and ultimately pursuing a restraining order when things turned genuinely frightening. Justin recounts a friendship-ending humiliation involving accusations that made no sense, a brutal “your dad’s a 4” assessment, and the unforgettable concept of Midwest Turtle People.

Together, they unpack why behavior that’s “normally romantic” can become alarming fast, how charm can disguise danger, and why sometimes the only correct response is calling on a trusted friend to go "full-towel, nuts out, in a bush".

No lessons. No silver linings. Just two unforgettable Wrong Turns and one very palpable vibe.

Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.

Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.
