  • Zero integrity

    Why not just start a new podcast rather than piggyback off of someone else's hard work? So fake.

  • Love the new direction!

    I really enjoyed Bad Dates, but fell off listening after a while. I rediscovered this in my feed, and I love that there’s space for positivity. It’s great to hear normal(ish) people sharing about the many aspects of relationships and intimacy, good and bad. Loving the new direction so far!

  • No love at this hotel

    Bravoholic here so had to watch Love Hotel with this guy as host. Great show seeing all of the Real Housewives getting along in the name of love. The bad part. This guy. What a Debbie downer. This guy is the last person to be hosting anything about intimacy. Sorry not sorry.

    I loved when Jameela was the host and I gave it a chance when Joel took over. It wasn’t bad and was still funny at times. Now Bad Dates is Intimacy Coordinator?? No thanks. Listened to the first episode and was bored out of my mind. I do not care about these people or their relationships. I was listening for funny stories. Please continue the show with a different host.

Sharing Culture (w/ Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers)
Q: Is love something you actively pursue, or does it come when you least expect it?

Q: What is the piece of media you would show a new partner to illustrate your view of love?

Q: What is one piece of advice you would give to someone looking for love after a bad date?
