  • Cuuuuute, fun, love it

    JKB would have a put a torn out page of teen bop with your pic and put it on my wall in the 90s. I ADORE you, this show is fun, silly, informative. What a dream. Joel Kim Booster is an excellent host who actually enhances with his guests. So good! And I feel like there’s not a ton out there like intimacy coordinator 💘🍕🫍🛼

  • Bowen shares The Lathe of Heaven with dates 🫠

    already a culturista after my own heart (and a boob gay after my own rack!) but what a sharp rec.

    Guy Branum, Symone, and Adam hilarious too.

    Joel - consummate serious/unserious host.

    Five stars will return.

  • Speaking truth to intimacy in all the ways!!

    Love this new version of Bad Dates! The last episode with Margaret Cho, etc was SO REFRESHING. People don’t talk enough about the impact of porn and constant instant gratification from tech and experimenting with partners. Appreciate you Joel 🥰 Also love the questions and format! Looking forward to more!
