Justin recounts a friendship-ending humiliation involving accusations that made no sense, a brutal “your dad’s a 4” assessment, and the unforgettable concept of Midwest Turtle People.Together, they unpack why behavior that’s “normally romantic” can become alarming fast, how charm can disguise danger, and why sometimes the only correct response is calling on a trusted friend to go "full-towel, nuts out, in a bush".No lessons. No silver linings. Just two unforgettable Wrong Turns and one very palpable vibe.Jameela's Substack is <a href="https://jameelajamil.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Low Desire To Please</a>, you can also find her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jameelajamil/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jameelajamil?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@jameelajamil" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.Our consulting producer is <a href="https://www.colinanderson.info/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Colin Anderson</a>.Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.Listen to Wrong Turns on <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/10e6e231-6e0d-466d-b86b-1935e1a97039/wrong-turns-with-jameela-jamil?ref_=dmm_brd_pgr_us_plc_ooh_ig_org_new_ooh_wt_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amazon Music</a> or wherever you find your podcasts.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
