It's often said, "Misery loves company." Christ comes to us in our misery with God's love and mercy.

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)

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.

And plenty of “please tell me nobody saw that” moments.So this week, Misery Loves Company.In this episode of the RV Podcast, we're sharing some of the funniest, most cringe-worthy, and painfully relatable RV mistakes sent in by fellow RVers, along with what caused them, what they learned, and how you can avoid making the same mistakes yourself.If you've ever:• Dumped your tanks wrong• Forgotten to retract something before driving away• Misjudged a turn or campsite• Backed into something• Made an expensive RV mistake you'll never admit publicly......this episode is for you.Because every RVer has a story.

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.

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.

The lads are down bad this week as all three teams crash and burn—Chelsea humbled, Tottenham in full freefall, and Arsenal officially entering bottle‑job territory. We rant, vent, and try to make sense of yet another weekend where nothing went right, breaking down what went wrong tactically, mentally, and structurally for each side. From Spurs' relegation fears becoming way too real, to Chelsea's continued identity crisis, to Arsenal proving the bottle job allegations might not be slander after all—this one's raw, emotional, and probably therapeutic. If misery loves company, this episode is for you.

Comedian and actor Kat Bird (Tigerbelly, Sideboob podcast, Netflix Is a Joke Festival May 8th) and comedian and actor Ava Bunn (Scrubs on Hulu, JFL's 2025 New Faces, Late Bloomers at Netflix Is a Joke Festival May 8th) join Jameela this week with stories that will make you feel significantly better about your own love life.Kat shares what happened when she re-entered the dating world after seven years, including one encounter set to some extremely ill-chosen background music, and another involving a life-sized pillow of Michael B. Jordan and thirty-five minutes of shimmying politely in the background. Ava, meanwhile, shares what happens when you answer a phone call mid-hookup convinced it's a casting director, and what happens when the entire contents of a large coffee decide to make their exit during a Zoom audition with Mindy Kaling.This week's Misery Loves Company comes from listener Jess, whose very enthusiastic sex life managed to send a firefighter back into a second round of ACL surgery, and inspires the team to ask: "Should we have signature moves?"You can follow Kat on Instagram at @katbirdcomedy and find her tour dates at katbirdcomedy.com.

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.

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.

Joe Liss (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Strangers With Candy; Home Alone 2) and Dee Ryan (The Office, 10 Items Or Less, United States of Tara) are bringing their improvised horror parody Misery Loves Company to the Rochester Fringe Festival this September 12 & 14, and they discuss the wine-soaked origins of this "cockadoodie" good time. These two improv gurus share why this is the first time they've worked together; how you improvise a fight scene; the importance of age-appropriate casting; the value of not planning what you're going to do; how and where they'll be teaching workshops in Rochester; and the glory of performing with a home-field advantage. (Length 21:49) The post Misery Loves Company appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Chad Zumock is fresh off a week of larping as a standup comedian in his home state of Florida. Before departing to sell twos of tickets to unsuspecting mirth-seekers, Chad did one of his famous streams pretending he is an entertainer, and then proceeded to go on Misery Loves Company and get roasted for his death pool scam. Karmic was told recently on a Minnesota morning show stream that he needs to humble himself before its host, and he isn't complying as easily as desired. Speaking of Minnesota disasters, there's a golf tournament (or a least a golf scam) happening in two weeks and the details keep getting foggier and more unrealistic as the date approaches. ...

The early bird gets the worm. What goes around, comes around. It's always darkest just before dawn. We carry these little nuggets of wisdom—these adages—with us, deep in our psyche. But recently we started wondering: are they true? Like, objectively, scientifically, provably true?So we picked a few and set out to fact check them. We talked to psychologists, neuroscientists, runners, a real estate agent, skateboarders, an ornithologist, a sociologist and an astrophysicist, among others, and we learned that these seemingly simple, clear-cut statements about us and our world, contain whole universes of beautiful, vexing complexity and deeper, stranger bits of wisdom than we ever imagined.Special thanks to Pamela D'Arc, ​​Daniela Murcillo, Amanda Breen, Akmal Tajihan, Patrick Keene, Stephanie Leschek and Alexandria Iona from the Upright Citizens Brigade, We Run Uptown, Coaches Reph and Patty from Circa ‘95, Julia Lucas and Coffey from the Noname marathon training program.We have some exciting news!
