Summary
Comedian and actor Rachel Feinstein (Inside Amy Schumer, Crashing, Trainwreck, Big Guy on Netflix) and comedian, actor, and writer Ben Gleib (Chelsea Lately, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube) join Jameela to share their most catastrophic life moments, and things go off the rails almost immediately.
Ben reveals what happens when Chelsea Handler gets bored on a private jet and peer-pressures you into propositioning the flight crew, while Rachel recounts the Christmas she tried to impress her future in-laws and ended up with a mouthful of candle wax. Both agree: the key to surviving humiliation is to just keep going.
Later, Ben's attempt to save $37 on an Uber spirals into a full parking lot brawl involving a surprise Coffee Mate attack, and Rachel takes us to the saddest hotel in New York City, where every channel is porn, and her date packed matching Giants pajamas.
Along the way, Jameela shares the time a therapist dumped her after one session, and the gang discovers they are all furiously, passionately angry about geography.
Watch Ben's (and producer Stewart's) new show Good Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube, and stream Rachel Feinstein's special Big Guy on Netflix.
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.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:41.9 | It's Ben fucking Gleave. Yes. My birth-middle name. Thank you, Jamila. Who brought both of us a rose. That's right. I did. I just purchased them from a sweet homeless lady on a freeway off ramp who said she had three children and had a sign and so I wanted to give her money. |
| 0:56.8 | You can leave that part out next time. Yeah. Which part? Did I, her children or just the whole thing? You wanted me to stop at her actual flower shop? Not that kind of guy. This was just to do a community service. Did you pay for the roses and then ask for the change back? |
| 1:11.5 | I did indeed. |
| 1:12.3 | I was like, listen, this is probably like a $2 rose. What kind of change you have on you? But I bought two roses because I was going to get one. Because you felt sorry for someone.

| 1:53.1 | hard to believe. That's hurtful. I'm a hurtful person. Disaster finds me. I don't need |
| 1:58.2 | extra. I don't need to like double it up. It's like when you have a cornucopia of something to ask for more, it's just greedy. Yes. So I just wait for it to come. Has it been that way your whole life? No, I don't think, I think I'm pretty lucky overall. I think I've had sporadic moments of things going super off the rails. It's not aggressive.
