Both agree: the key to surviving humiliation is to just keep going.Later, Ben's attempt to save $37 on an Uber spirals into a full parking lot brawl involving a surprise Coffee Mate attack, and Rachel takes us to the saddest hotel in New York City, where every channel is porn, and her date packed matching Giants pajamas.Along the way, Jameela shares the time a therapist dumped her after one session, and the gang discovers they are all furiously, passionately angry about geography.

Fear doesn't disappear when you become successful. It just changes shape.In this episode, Jake and Damian go into the archive to ask a question most of us avoid: what are you actually afraid of — and what's it costing you?They're joined by clips from some of High Performance's most memorable conversations: Phil Heath on navigating darkness to find your highest level, Scott McTominay on the self-doubt that never left him through 21 years at Manchester United, Jameela Jamil on 15 years of saying yes to everything and no to herself, and Robin Van Persie on the moment he realised he was the one making it heavy.Plus: why imposter syndrome isn't a syndrome, the difference between overthinking and thinking deeply, and what actually happens when you stop fighting a feeling and just name it.Listen to the full conversations:Jameela Jamil https://pod.fo/e/225b9eScott McTominay https://pod.fo/e/2154f0Phil Heath https://pod.fo/e/2313e6Robin Van Persie https://pod.fo/e/18789Ronda Rousey https://pod.fo/e/23ec96Next week on High Performance: Nico Rosberg — Formula 1 World Champion.

RHLSTP #610 - Cake in a Graveyard - Richard is excited about the breaking news (at time of recording). Broken years ago by this podcast and treats the audience to his poem about the disgraced Randrew Andrew. His guest is a woman with a life that feels like it has been moulded by Greek Gods fighting with a genie, the very open and frank and incredible Jameela Jamil. And she is not alone. She brings two further guests, one of whom has been vomiting blood. All in a day's normalcy for Jameela. They discuss he brilliant podcast Wrong Moves with Jameela Jamil, kicking a stunt man in the dick, running into a force field with a cake, the bee-based car accident that nearly killed her, but led to the best year of her life (she claims), the lies she's told to get jobs and the incredible and unbelievable truths that have accompanied her on her journey, how a school bully led to her becoming an actor (but long after they'd left school), her imminent 40th birthday, how our respective gigs for Elton John went, an incredible story about paying for someone's IVF that should completely be a sitcom and how Richard might just be a peripheral side character in the simulation that is Jameela's impossible life. This is up there with Brian Blessed, but I think this time, it's all true.Listen to Jameela's podcast Wrong Turns here (or wherever you get your podcasts) - https://open.spotify.com/show/48QtcFDDyQzKIc4B0fo4V7Listen to the full unredacted Sofie Hagen episode here (Randrew Andrew chat begins around 1:08:00) - https://open.spotify.com/episode/7rKIkLAmgEOtOrbpNJVZ6hCome and see RHLSTP live - http://richardherring.com/rhlstp.

Laura Peek (Comedy Central, The Tonight Show, After Midnight) and Audrey Stewart (Just for Laughs New Face, Netflix Is a Joke Festival, Don't Tell Comedy) join Jameela for an episode that goes places no one anticipated.Laura's eighth-grade country club pool day goes catastrophically wrong thanks to one forgotten detail and a high dive. Audrey finally hooks up with her dream college crush only for him to ruin it all with two devastating words the next morning. Then the Big Wrong Turns get even wilder - Audrey's best day of second grade takes a turn that has to be heard to be believed, and Laura's post-vocal-cord-surgery sorority era involves a whistle, a dry erase board, and a frat party bunk bed disaster.Jameela confesses to mistakenly calling Oaxaca "Waxico," the group debates whether the purple pool pee dye was ever real, and a Misery Loves Company listener learns that Nair and romance do not mix.Find Laura on Instagram @laurapeek and Audrey @audreystewisart.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.

This week, we descend into the toxic delusion orbiting Michael Jackson's most devoted defenders, unpack the slow cultural death spiral of the Met Gala at the hands of Jeff and Lauren Bezos, and discover that Rich is somehow fully on board for The Devil Wears Prada 2. We also revisit an absolutely unhinged vintage clip of Liza Minnelli serenading a deaf lover using what appears to be entirely self-invented sign language, culminating in a jaw-dropping interpretation of the word “Chinese."To access video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU—we're covering the newest season of The Comeback right now—check out our Patreon.Tracie's SubstackInstagramTikTok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Comedian and actor Gianmarco Soresi (Thief of Joy comedy special, Netflix, The Downside podcast) and comedian Raanan Hershberg (The Tonight Show, Comedy Central, Your Favorite Movie Sucks podcast) join Jameela for an episode that encompasses the Middle East peace process, the American healthcare system, and fraternity hazing rituals involving marshmallows.Gianmarco's micro humiliation takes us back to college, where four years of anxiety about cracking during a song culminated in exactly that, on the final note of an eight-minute Rodgers and Hammerstein soliloquy, in front of everyone, with absolutely no way to play it off. His Big Wrong Turn begins with a gig booked through his uncle in real estate: a private roast of a 50-year-old stranger at his second bachelor party in a New Jersey steakhouse. He shows up in a suit. They're in shorts. They're sitting in a circle. And it only gets worse from there.Raanan's Big Wrong Turn is less wrong turn, more system failure. His girlfriend has an eye stroke, and what follows is an ambulance with no siren, insurance paperwork filled out in the back of said ambulance, a doctor appearing via video call from her kitchen, and a transfer to a second hospital in a storm immediately after taking blood thinners. America!In this week's Misery Loves Company, a listener named Edward recounts a fraternity initiation involving a marshmallow relay race that is exactly as bad as it sounds, and makes the only sane decision anyone in this episode manages.Follow Raanan at @RaananComedy and watch his podcast Your Favorite Movie Sucks on YouTube.

Tracie speed-reads Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick and comes to some…conclusions.And finally, a cursed visual you now have to live with too: turtle erections.To access video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU—we're covering the newest season of The Comeback right now—check out our Patreon.Tracie's SubstackInstagramTikTok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Comedians, writers, and co-hosts of the legendary podcast Guys We F****d, Krystyna Hutchinson and Corinne Fisher join Jameela this week for an episode that gets intimate, unhinged, and deeply relatable in equal measure.Corinne shares what happened when she tried to set the mood on a COVID-era Zoom date with Post-it note talking points, deli container margaritas, and a candle that set her hair on fire. Krystyna's Big Wrong Turn takes us inside Hurricane Sandy, a flooding apartment, a boyfriend who promised to throw out his ex-porn-star's Fleshlight collection, and the moment she discovered he had not. Jameela, meanwhile, reveals that her inner self on psychedelics turned out to be a very boring white lady who shops at Erewhon, and recounts the full catastrophic chain of events leading up to her Good Place audition, including curling her hair with her roommate's dildo and spending ten minutes alone in a casting director's bathroom using her teeth as a wrench.This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Josie, who declared her love at a prom after party, spent ten minutes arguing with the guy that he did love her actually, and ran into him the next morning looking like Beetlejuice.You can find Krystyna and Corinne's podcast Guys We F**ked wherever you get your podcasts.

Michael once accidentally played a podcast that opened with "Are white people special?" to his Black driver and just... kept it on. Jameela once performed a full Sally Bowles striptease routine from Cabaret at her all-girls school aged 12, and was bribed by her headmistress not to do it again.Also: an exploding chili dog audition, Larry David, and a listener who learned that "Fiona" sounds like Italian slang for something you really don't want your name to mean.You can follow Ian at @ianlara on Instagram and TikTok and watch his specials on YouTube and HBO.

We learned a lot of weird things this week. First, male cheerleaders are called "yell leaders." This fact presented itself to us after Jeff Webb—a cheerleading pioneer and Charlie Kirk's mentor—died in a mysterious pickleball accident. Also, did you know they make guns for people without fingers? Plus, Jude Law has like seven kids now, one of whom has a mother who was a contestant on The Voice UK—which is all tied back to Chappell Roan.

Before Anne Boleyn, there was Mary. And her scandalous affair with King Henry VIII offers a whole new perspec:ve on “divorced, beheaded, died”. We dig into the story of the hidden Boleyn sister, including how she got caught up in a messy slut-shaming rumour that would come to define her reputa:on for centuries. In this funny, fascinating, and scandal-filled podcast, Jameela Jamil and historian Dr Kate Lister pore over the stories of six astonishing “other women”. Women who have been shamed, disparaged and underestimated. Some have been cheated out of the history books altogether.

Comedian and actor Daphnique Springs (Single Female YouTube special, Unapologetically Daphne podcast) and comedian and actor Matt Braunger (Black-ish, Agent Carter, comedy special Doug) join Jameela for an episode that begins with a theory about serial killers and ends in total, beautiful chaos.Matt's Big Wrong Turn takes us to a wedding he absolutely should not have attended -- the wedding of a woman he was having an on-again off-again affair with. What follows is a masterclass in how not to be inconspicuous, featuring a one-man karaoke show on a table with the bride's aunt, shots at the bar with the woman who just said her vows, and a solo retreat to a closet to contemplate his life choices. The twist at the end makes it all worth it.Daphnique's Big Wrong Turn begins as a love story: a wealthy dentist, gifts from Versace, vacations, family introductions, and what looked very much like the soft life within reach. It ends at a Beverly Hills boutique counter, where a sales associate mistakes her for someone else entirely, and the whole architecture of the relationship collapses in an instant.Along the way, Jameela recounts getting hit by a car, breaking her back, doing star jumps out of sheer adrenaline, and not mentioning it to anyone before having to spend a year and a half in bed. She also shares the story of turning down a marriage proposal by email, citing concerns of a deeply anatomical nature.Misery Loves Company this week comes courtesy of a couple in China who attempted a TikTok trend involving a fist and a mouth and ended up in hospital.

Actor Alan Tudyk (Arrested Development, Rogue One, Resident Alien) and comedian and actor Jade Catta-Preta (Modern Family, Life in Pieces, The Soup on E!) join Jameela for an episode that somehow ends up exactly where you'd expect, and nowhere you could have predicted.Alan's micro humiliation arrives courtesy of a chance encounter with a Disney executive, a case of mistaken identity, and the particular horror of confidently addressing the wrong powerful man by the wrong name to his face. His Big Wrong Turn takes us to a casual industry football game, where Alan shows up with brand new boots bought the day before, immediately starts playing what can only be described as rug-ball, gets demoted to goalie, concedes three goals, and is the only person in Los Angeles not invited for drinks afterwards.Jade's micro humiliation unfolds live on Watch What Happens, when an attempt to remove a stray hair from Andy Cohen's face reveals that it is very much still attached to him. Her Big Wrong Turn takes us back to a school production that cemented her fate as the default ethnic casting choice for every role going, from Lola in Damn Yankees to Scary Spice, not because she was the best fit, but because she was the only brown person in the building.In place of this week's Misery Loves Company, Jameela shares the story of paying for a friend's IVF to avoid becoming a godmother, only to watch that friend meet her sperm donor the night before the procedure and immediately render the whole thing completely unnecessary.Watch Alan Tudyk in Resident Alien on Sci-Fi and Peacock, and in Superman. He also co-hosts Once We Were Spacemen with Nathan Fillion, available wherever you get your podcasts. Follow Jade Catta-Preta at @JadeCattaPreta across socials, catch her live in New York and Alaska in July, and find her on OnlyFans at @FunnyButt.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.

A tangled web of life-and-death espionage, beginning in Cuba with a mission to poison her lover, Fidel Castro, and ending in Dallas on the eve of the JFK assassina:on. But how many of Marita Lorenz's stories can we believe? We share all the drama:c details of a life lived in the shadows and debate why Marita's words have so o‘en been called into ques:on. In this funny, fascinating, and scandal-filled podcast, Jameela Jamil and historian Dr Kate Lister pore over the stories of six astonishing “other women”. Women who have been shamed, disparaged and underestimated. Some have been cheated out of the history books altogether. Now Jameela and Kate are placing their stories in the spotlight – to see what history looks like through the eyes of the so-called side-chick.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Comedian and actor Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, High Potential, 12 Years a Slave) and actor Jenn Lyon (Claws, The English Teacher, Dead Boy Detectives) join Jameela and immediately reveal themselves to be two of the purest, yet most deeply unhinged people she has ever encountered.Taran opens with a micro humiliation for the ages: the time he forgot every lyric to the same Hamilton song he'd performed hundreds of times, in front of 1,300 high school kids who knew every single word. His Big Wrong Turn, however, takes us back to 2001 and a backstage encounter with Tenacious D and Dave Grohl that begins with hero worship, escalates through increasingly desperate attempts at shock humor, and ends with Jack Black delivering the most devastating possible verdict on his presence in the room.Jenn's micro humiliation is a masterclass in the cruelty of school nicknames, and how she went from "Majestic Lemon", to "Derbis", to "Two Tut" all within her fourth grade year. Her Big Wrong Turn arrives courtesy of the Atkins diet, a metric ton of sugar-free candy, and the particular horror of realizing mid-song, in full period corsetry, that something has gone catastrophically wrong inside your tights.Along the way, Jameela reveals a friend's long-running photo-bombing habit that has somehow survived the #MeToo era, and explains exactly why she could never, ever do a play or a TED Talk.Misery Loves Company comes from Greg, whose college habit of casually exposing a testicle in public went unnoticed until a woman asking for directions clocked it and offered some gentle medical advice.Watch Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon in Stumble, Fridays on NBC and streaming on Peacock.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.

We got a little too high this time, so it's an extra short episode today. A note from Rich: I really wanted to use this episode as a mini-retelling of my recent long-read at The Guardian, “A Hollywood ‘heir' made horrific abuse claims against four industry titans. How did he end up in prison?” But my intentions were at odds with my medium: Explaining a twisty story about an aspiring writer who sued powerful men in Hollywood for raping and blacklisting him and then, years later, was convicted for lying in front of the court in said lawsuit was a difficult thing to do coherently on this podcast, which finds us getting high and being unserious. The result was an extremely unfocused retelling of this story that Tracie had to salvage in editing. I think my spoken words do my written ones a disservice nonetheless in this week's episode, so please trust that the story in print is way wilder, more layered, and I think more consequential to the realities of MeToo's ideals than what is presented in this week's episode. If it sounds interesting to you at all in this form, I guarantee you that you will get way more out of the written piece.

Virginia Hill may be remembered as a “bit on the side” for mobster Bugsy Siegel – but her story is SO much bigger than that. We reveal how Virginia hustled her way into the heart of the Chicago mob, earning herself the nickname “the female Al Capone” and ending up on the run as the USA's most wanted.

Well hello! We are still hard at work on Troubled Waters but in the meantime we thought it'd be fun to share one of our old faves from way back in the International Waters days. Take a trip down memory lane with Helen Hong, Nick Rutherford, Jameela Jamil, and Romesh Ranganathan
Tracie is still sifting through the Epstein files, and she found a scary pop culture artifact (an ass ugly Spitting Image puppet) was used to molest girls. Plus, the girls (and Jay Manuel) are weighing in on the Netflix doc Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model.To access video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU—we're covering season one of The Comeback right now—check out our Patreon.The People Who Died in 2025 Christmas ornament is here!

Comedians Arden Myrin (The Righteous Gemstones, Shameless, and host of Will You Accept This Rose?) and Blair Socci (Comedy Central, CBS, Bob's Burgers, and host of Spaced Out with Blair Socci) join Jameela for an episode that immediately reveals itself to be a twin flame friendship.From the very first minute, dignity packs its bags.Blair shares a laundromat incident involving a forgotten vibrator, a Catholic school gray sweatpants catastrophe, and a UTI so severe it required meeting a boyfriend's entire extended family in the emergency room. Arden counters with a black diamond ski slope humiliation that derailed a teenage crush, plus candy theft, DayQuil disasters, and the kind of adolescent yearning that makes you believe walking past a video store sixty times a day is completely normal.Along the way, the three of them unpack bladder betrayal, edible miscalculations, shame spirals, crush delusions, and the deeply spiritual power of simply owning your humiliation before anyone else can weaponize it.It's chaos. It's confession. It's extremely bonded feminine energy.And it's what happens when you realize that common sense was chasing you, but you were faster.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.

Comedian Steve Agee (The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and comedian Erica Rhodes (Bring Back the Funny, Modern Family, Last Comic Standing) joined Jameela Jamil for one of those sessions that spiraled gloriously out of control.The conversation ran long because Steve told an extra story that was so catastrophically funny, so unnecessary, and so vividly described that it could not be left on the cutting room floor.What begins as a boisterous teenage party leads to catastrophic consequences, and one of the most graphic cautionary tales ever told on Wrong Turns. Erica nearly loses it, Jameela somehow has a worse story from the last couple of weeks that she'd forgotten to mention until now.It is gross. It is detailed. It is absolutely a warning to hydrate responsibly.Follow Steve Agee for more stories you may or may not be emotionally prepared for, and follow Erica Rhodes for sharp wit that remains impressively intact even under extreme narrative conditions.And as always, follow Wrong Turns (TikTok) for more stories that probably should have stayed inside people's heads.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.

You're going to have to refer to our last episode ("Chappel Roan's Nipples") to understand what the hell we're talking about in the first half of this episode because we were too high and heated to be as coherent as we would've liked.Basically, after Tracie said an Instagram creator was being stupid (she was), that creator somehow figured out we talked about her (we never named her) and made a post about us, which riled up her base of Pizzagate conspiracy theorists. They're accusing us of being Zionists (like, what?) and pedos, proving the original point that Tracie made last week of how people are being illogical about public figures who were named in the Epstein files for innocuous reasons.Please read: Sasha Riley and the Long Hangover of the Satanic PanicTo access video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU—we're covering season one of The Comeback right now—check out our Patreon.The People Who Died in 2025 Christmas ornament is here!

Comedians Erica Rhodes (Veep, Modern Family, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and Steve Agee (Guardians of the Galaxy, Peacemaker, Abbott Elementary) join Jameela for an episode that begins with dietary advice and ends… in a urologist's office.Erica recounts the date that launched a viral moment, involving a wildly inappropriate comparison, some questionable role-play, and a man who may or may not be a pathological liar. She also shares the most humbling twist of fate imaginable after attempting to make someone jealous in New York.Steve delivers a catastrophic Hollywood Boulevard micro-humiliation involving laundry day, no drawstring, and rush-hour traffic, before taking us deep into the saga of kidney stones, shockwave therapy, and a medical procedure that will have you crossing your legs in solidarity.Along the way, Jameela reflects on early career panic, birthday disappointments, dating interrogations outside police stations, and maybe recommends morphine?This is an episode about humiliation, survival, and the strange comfort of knowing that one day, even your worst moment might make a great story.Follow Erica at ericarhodescomedy.com for tour dates.Follow Steve everywhere he appears, which is apparently everywhere.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.

Comedians Travon Free (The Daily Show, Two Distant Strangers - Netflix) and Rob Corddry (The Daily Show, Hot Tub Time Machine) join Jameela for a masterclass in public humiliation, professional disaster, and the kind of moments that will forever wake you up at 3am.Travon shares the teenage moment he thought he had twenty minutes of privacy with his girlfriend, until he very much did not, and then the career nightmare of accidentally emailing one of his scripts to the entire staff at The Daily Show, gifting the funniest people in television unlimited ammunition.Rob relives the night he bombed so catastrophically while hosting a room full of movie stars that he instructed his wife to get the car running. The crowd froze, legends stared him down, and one extremely famous comedy god enjoyed every second of the collapse.Along the way, Jameela reflects on falling spectacularly at her latest premiere, why disaster can feel hilarious mid-air, and the cringiest story of celebrity leftovers.Dignity is not recovered.

Jameela Jamil (The Good Place, Elio) joins us this week for a wildly honest conversation about chronic illness, passive self destruction and why she is done biohacking her life. Jameela opens up about living with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, surviving childhood abuse, the nervous breakdown that turned her into a truth teller and how EMDR therapy completely rewired her relationship to trauma and fear. We also get into her war on beauty and the unbelievable way a school bully pushed her straight into The Good Place. Thank you to our sponsors:
The latest tranche of Epstein files contain photos of Stephen Hawking, confirming what Tracie has always (vocally) suspected about him. Many more celebrities are mentioned by name, innocuously, in the Epstein files, fueling baseless conspiracy theories. We discuss Chappell Roan's Mugler nipple dress from the Grammys, but for us, it was really Pink Pantheress who shined.To access video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU—we're covering season one of The Comeback right now—check out our Patreon.The People Who Died in 2025 Christmas ornament is here!

Jameela welcomes Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover, SNAFU podcast) and Brian Huskey (Veep, Bob's Burgers, Community) for a masterclass in public humiliation, bodily betrayal, and the art of staying professional while everything is actively going wrong.Ed shares about his resting plane face, then revisits an Office scene that turned into a sealed-car panic situation. From there, things escalate in Bangkok, where one innocent street food decision leads to him shirtless on a red-light-district sidewalk between takes, being fed Sprite through a straw by Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis.Meanwhile, Brian's commitment to “the bit” reaches medically concerning levels, as a flirtation story becomes a full fainting incident that nobody recognises as a real emergency. Add in digestive disasters, professional embarrassment, and the delicate balance between dignity and dehydration, and you've got another episode of Wrong Turns doing exactly what it says on the tin.

Comedians Jiaoying Summers (What Specie Are You? Hulu Special, Tiger Mum Podcast) and Yola Jean Lu (Help My Vagina Is Trying to Kill Me special, Patsy short film) join Jameela Jamil for an “Asian invasion,” unpacking shame, power, and humiliation in ways only Wrong Turns can.Jiaoying shares the childhood story that rewired her immune system forever, involving a roadside motel and discarded “balloons.” She also recounts the most mortifying collision of debt, pride, and gynecological exams imaginable, and explains why embarrassment loses all power once you decide not to care.Yola brings exquisitely awkward confessions, including a man who periodically asks for nudes with unsettling sincerity, and a prolonged, one-sided love story with a dentist that involved unnecessary Invisalign, a farewell card, and travel-size toothpaste.Along the way, Jameela reflects on inherited guilt, public embarrassment, private text messages never meant to be seen, and the strange ways women are taught to feel indebted just for existing.And remember next time you're having some special alone time... the ancestors are watching.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.
