Comedians Erin Jackson (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Grudgery special) and Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero, Positive Reinforcement special) join Jameela Jamil to swap their most undignified disasters.
Erin relives the day she was booed off stage at the National Mall - on two jumbotrons, in front of her parents, and the time she literally fell off the stage at her home club’s grand reopening. Josh recalls a Thanksgiving so disastrous it ended with puking in the tub before meeting his in-laws, and a college romance derailed by an overly enthusiastic Bon Jovi-themed care package.
Jameela shares her own humiliations - including breaking her nose on live TV - as the trio find catharsis in failure, fart jokes, and the fine art of refusing to let go of a grudge.
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.

| 0:00.0 | This podcast is sponsored by Ancient and Brave, the wellness brand that takes ancient wisdom |
| 0:04.5 | and blends it with modern science to create a toolkit of award-winning collagen blends and |
| 0:08.8 | supplements that support whole body health. Now I'm turning 40 next year, which means that |
| 0:13.0 | the amount of collagen that I produce is rapidly declining. And collagen is important for your skin, |
| 0:17.9 | your hair, your bones, your joints, your muscles and elasticity, etc. And if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you will know from the haphazard way that I choose to live my life, I am probably disintegrating faster the most. So I'm interested in any way that I can slow the loss of such an important protein. And I'm incredibly into aging positively, but also nourishing my body. I'm very fussy and very bad at taking |
| 0:38.8 | care of myself and I like the fact that their wild collagen is sustainably sourced and clinically |
| 0:43.0 | proven to transform your skin, and it's a neutral tasting powder that you can easily add to any |
| 0:48.1 | drink. But what sets ancient and brave apart isn't just their award-winning products, it's also |
| 0:52.4 | their commitment to sustainability, which I love. They're a B-Corp and proud members of the 1% for the planet, meaning that 1% |
| 0:59.0 | of all their sales, which they've now increased to 2% goes directly to environmental causes |
| 1:03.6 | that protect our planet. So every time you buy from ancient and brave, you're not just investing |
| 1:07.9 | in your well-being, you're contributing to a healthier planet too. |

| 1:39.3 | Hello and welcome to Wrong Turns. This is a podcast that celebrates in dignity. It's where dignity |
| 1:45.3 | truly goes to die and then be buried. I get to bring on my favourite funny people and they tell |
| 1:50.9 | me their miserable tales that have no true redeeming qualities or life lessons learned. With me |
| 1:56.4 | today we have a writer and comedian with credits on Netflix, The Upshaws, Life and Beth, |
| 2:00.2 | Late Night with Seth Myers, her comedy album Grudgery debuted at number one on the iTunes charts. It's Erin Fucking Jackson. Hello. Hey, thank you so much for having me. Your love of grudges is why I first fell in love with you. We can get into that in a second. And we also welcome a comedian, producer and writer from shows like Deezer Samarro. and last week tonight with John Oliver, it's Josh Gundleman. Hello. Hello. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you so much for being here. I think you're both so, so funny. How are you doing today? I had a nice morning. Yeah? I had, yeah, drink a little coffee, hung out with my wife. She walked the dog. It's a very low impact morning for me. Oh, lovely. Is that like a morning tradition? Walking the dog? Walking the dog. We're having coffee with your wife. Yeah, we both are, well, it, you make it sound so sweet. It's both just that we're wildly unemployed. So like, yeah, of, like, drinking coffee together, walking the dog together, staring into the same void from slightly different axes. Yeah. So that's kind of a, that's our life. I still think it's romantic. Thank you. Yeah. My boyfriend and I have ceremony. Whether employed or unemployed, we refer to it as ceremony. We have to get that time because that's when we gossip. Oh, yeah. So it's very important to have that time to unload all of the gossip we've retained in the day before. She had come home. She had had one cocktail at a dinner with a friend and came home and was like, let's gossip. Like last night at like 9 p.m. |
