Summary

Comedians Leah Rudick (High Maintenance, Spiraling special on Apple, live tickets) and Alyssa Limperis (What We Do in the Shadows, Short of the Week film, No Bad Days special on Peacock) join Jameela for a conversation that begins with a “30 Day Rule” for food found on the floor and somehow escalates into concussions, sex education failures, and deeply inappropriate generosity from future in-laws.


Alyssa recounts the day an intimacy coordinator stopped a sex scene to explain that she was not doing sex correctly, while Leah shares the unforgettable experience of meeting her mother-in-law for the first time and being invited to browse, borrow, and ultimately take home items from her personal sex drawer.


Along the way, Jameela traces the long arc of repeated head injuries, a childhood with zero sex education, and the strange humiliations that shape how we move through our bodies as adults.


No silver linings. No dignity. Just three comedians comparing notes on shame, consent, and why some rules really should have an expiration date.

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.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
