Really enjoyed the old format of the show, but I realized I hadn’t listened to any of the recent episodes in the past few months because it’s all “Speed Dates”. Bring back the actual bad dates please
This ep was great ! A long time fan of the state and reno911 and enjoyed her work in The Four Seasons…so much! what a wonderful conversation;) love you too Joel! Thanks for Joel’s iteration of this pod and the speed dates format is so great 😀
Loved this show it was amazing! Joel came in and ruined it. Love hearing all the bad dates and hookups but Joel is not funny and hoping we get a new host.
It has been a pleasure to listen to Joel come into his own as host on the podcast. You and your guests are funny, outrageous, and insightful, and I’m here for all of it. Thank you for keeping me company at all hours of the day!
Is the podcast going to continue, don’t like the speed dates
