Actor and writer Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Licorice Pizza, New Girl) and actor, writer, filmmaker, and "everyone's sexual awakening", Lake Bell (Bless This Mess, In a World, Harley Quinn) join Jameela for a gloriously unfiltered session of tiny humiliations and lifelong cringes.Mary Elizabeth shares the on set moment a costumer quietly asked if she'd braided her pubic hair, plus the C section experience where she tried to keep everyone comfortable by joking about the smell of her own burning flesh.

Comedians Ian Fidance (Bein’ Ian with Jordan podcast, Wild, Happy and Free special) and Nathan Macintosh (Tonight Show, Down with Tech special) bring two of the most chaotic Wrong Turns we’ve ever had: a near–loss of virginity on 9/11, a $600 phone sex bill, getting banned from a friend’s house for porn searches, coke-fueled job interviews, and the childhood moment that ended in a full-blown piss emergency in class.Jameela tries to referee as Ian defends the Spice Channel “squiggle” era and Nathan relives the four-second first time, the broken bed frame, and the dog watching from the corner. There’s also soaking, psychics, frozen Haagen-Dazs theft, and a surprisingly heartfelt debate on whether shame makes you funnier or just stranger.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.Listen to Wrong Turns on Amazon Music or wherever you find your podcasts.
