Comedians and podcasters Naomi Ekperigin (Broad City, Hacks, Mythic Quest) and Andy Beckerman (The Pete Holmes Show, Cedric’s Barber Battle, Couples Therapy) join Jameela Jamil for a messy dive into marriage superstitions, chaos goblins, and a truly staggering collection of micro-humiliations.
Naomi relives the nightmare of meeting Andy’s parents for the first time, only to end up hospitalized within hours, delivering her full medical history four months into a relationship that somehow survived. Andy shares a seventh-grade “prank” so ill-conceived it nearly caused a multi-parent emergency, plus the existential horror of being forced into a talent show with no talent and no escape.
Along the way, Jameela explains her theory that marriage alerts the universe to send dangerously attractive temptations, recounts an accidental nude incident at an accidental visit to a Greek weight-loss spa, and confirms once and for all that some embarrassment permanently rewires your DNA.
No silver linings. No dignity. Just lifelong cringe, lovingly unpacked.
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.
