- Joel ruined this pod
wtf even is this podcast anymore? Joel has single-handedly destroyed everything that was good about this podcast.
He puts out entire episodes that have nothing to do with dating stories.
New topics include: promoting Joel's own personal endeavors. 🤡
Highly suggest going back to old episodes with other hosts if you're looking for actual entertainment! Truly funny and authentic.

United States15 days ago - Love it but stop making us feel left out!
I love this show an I really loved the Jameela and the stories are still funny but I feel like Joel makes us feel lesser than. They always bleep names so they can be insiders and making the listeners feel like people on the outside. Seems like Joel is a good guy but wants to feel better than his audience.
Apple Podcasts3Bad Dates is Good and BadUnited Statesa month ago - Use to be so much better with other hosts
Joel talks with random people about boring random things that have nothing to do with dating.
Maybe instead of calling it "speed dates" he could just ... start a different podcast since the conversations have NOTHING to do with dating.
Ew.
Apple Podcasts2goodpodclubUnited Statesa month ago - Another re run :(
Gahead give us nothing new
Apple Podcasts1SmoshthegreatUnited States2 months ago - Do you need a new host? I love Joel, but he's MIA.
Disappointed not to see new shows posted recently. It's all re-releases and maybe a speed date here or there. Do you need a new host?
