  • Ian Fidance and Nathan Macintosh
    Nov 6 2025

    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.

  • Sofie Hagen and Danny Wallace
    Oct 30 2025

    Comedian and author Danny Wallace (Yes Man, Join Me) and writer-comedian Sofie Hagen (Will I Ever Have Sex Again?) join Jameela Jamil for a conversation about the chaos, coincidences, and canine catastrophes that make life unforgettable.


    From dogs with terrible timing to the unexpected moments that change everything, they share stories of embarrassment, empathy, and the strange comfort of realizing everyone’s a little bit ridiculous sometimes.

  • Margaret Cho and Brandi Denise
    Oct 23 2025

    Jameela Jamil is joined by comedy icon Margaret Cho (New album Lucky Gift, All That We Love movie in theaters November) and social worker turned standup comedian, actor, and writer Brandi Denise (Vulture Top Comics 2024, LOL! Live with Brandi Denise, Hulu) for an uncomfortably funny chat about their biggest personal disasters.


    This isn’t a pep talk, it’s a pile-on. From terrible diets and onstage mishaps to the mortifying moments you can never unsee, the three trade stories that remind us no one’s got it together (least of all them).


    Together, they and Jameela trade stories about growth, boundaries, and choosing laughter over shame.
