Summary
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. Don't try everything you see on TikTok, kids.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to wrong turns. |
| 0:12.0 | This podcast is a party for our most miserable moments, things that happen to us that have no great silver lining, no great wisdom to be learned from them. I'm thrilled to be able to welcome my guest today. Joining me as comedian, actor and writer from shows like Blackish, Agent Carter, and Upload. He's nationally touring comedian and his most recent comedy album is entitled Doug. Hello and welcome Matt Bronger. Hello, how are you? I'm great. Yeah, have to be here. |
| 0:56.0 | Good. Good. Lovey to see you. I'm enjoying the double denim very much. Thank you. Yeah, I didn't mean to go Canadian tucks, but I did. I hugely appreciate it. That's very good. And we also have with us, actress, writer, and also a nationally touring comedian. You can watch her comedy special single female. It's outrageous on YouTube and she hosts the unapologetically Daphneek podcast. It's Daphneek Springs. Hello. |
| 0:59.9 | Hey, what's up? How you doing? Good. Nice to meet you in person, finally. Nice to meet you in person too. You look just like your photos. Hopefully you |
| 1:04.2 | you mean that in a good way. Absolutely. Oh, I'm thrilled to have you both here. Now, |
| 1:08.2 | we always get started by just kind of, I was want to kind of |
| 1:11.4 | suss you out, right? What's your attitude towards disaster? Love it. Love it. I think disaster |
| 1:17.9 | makes you a better person. I would agree. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I think that's the reason why you get |
| 1:23.4 | serial killers, because if you think about it, their childhood didn't really have as much disaster in the beginning. Right. And then they start killing the cats creating a disaster. They're just trying to juz it up. And then when they jizz it up, they're like, oh, I like this. Let me just go ahead and go off with people. Sorry, you think the order is that they have happy childhoods and then I don't think I don't think I could |
| 1:45.3 | know I would argue not to interpret another comic's take but I think what Daphneek was trying to say is |
| 1:51.7 | like way too boring with not enough sprinkles of tragedy right right right right right right |
| 1:55.8 | white privilege that just seems like an amazing that's fair there's been like one black serial killer like in all of American history. And he was the best because black people are really good at everything. Yeah. He was amazing. He was amazing with the glasses. It's wild. We both know who that is. It's because there's only one. I mean. And he was like the Michael Jordan and cereal killing. He was the goat. And so really the problem was he had not faced enough struggle you feel in his early years. Yeah. Right. Yeah. There is a darkness to comedians that I really enjoy. I mean, that's why I've kind of created this podcast. We can have our own little unapologetic world of just darkness and filth and absolutely no wisdom gained. And I've had comedians say, hey, are you going to use that? I'm like, this is my life, bro. That's crazy. Back up off my life story. And they say, I know you the next day to Shepal off a Daphneek's story. |
| 2:52.5 | And then I'm going to stab you. |
| 2:53.5 | It's going to be a tragedy. |
| 2:54.7 | It's always an tragedy. You'll give them a story. |
| 2:55.7 | Yeah. |
| 2:55.9 | I'll give him a better story. |
| 2:57.1 | How fast do you find the funny after or the wisdom or the lesson? |
| 3:02.3 | Are you looking for the wisdom or the lesson? |
| 3:05.2 | I think years later, it takes a little time. |
| 3:09.2 | I think time is one thing you have to give it. |
| 3:11.6 | When you're in the midst of it, you're like, yo, why me? |
