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.
