Leslie Jones: We Need To Stop Raising F*ck Boys

Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith

Show Notes

Leslie Jones is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. From SNL to Supermarket Sweep to Sing the movie, she is a force to be reckoned with. She simultaneously speaks truth to power whilst making people howl with laughter - a joy to have over!

Leslie didn’t hold back talking about the self-improvement many men don’t engage with and how it is we are accidentally raising fuck boys. She also shares the saddest time of her life when she found out she’d lost her brother whilst on set and how she dealt with the grief.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that much!!

What an incredible episode to finish the series with - can’t wait for more, but in the meantime, we’ve got quite the archive for you to enjoy!
