  • Parent turn ons episode

    This isn’t about the podcast as a whole but I had to say something. I understand why Joel might not know much about it his topic but please don’t give air time to the woman calling co sleeping and breastfeeding beyond two infantilizing?! And pushing sleep training as beneficial to mental health. And they have a parenting podcast? Scary. Maybe they should learn a bit about attachment theory, child development and what is biologically normal.

  • Unclear purpose..

    I enjoyed first dates. Intimacy coordinator doesn’t seem to have a clear purpose.. not funny and just seems to be guests speaking over each other. Disappointing turn

  • Miss bad dates

    Not sure what happened to bad dates, but this new updated version called intimacy coordinator is not where it’s at. A very boring show. I would look forward to bad dates each week with hilarious guests and stories, a lot that were relatable. This new version is a snoozer and I really like Joel but this is an unfollow from me.
