  • Joel ruined this pod

    wtf even is this podcast anymore? Joel has single-handedly destroyed everything that was good.

    Highly suggest going back to old episodes with other hosts if you're looking for actual entertainment!

  • Lost the plot

    Speed Dates is not Bad Dates. Interviews with random people I don’t know? There are a million podcasts out there. Bad Dates was you hook…Speed Dates doesn’t work for me. Sorry Joel. I’m out.
