Intimacy Coordinator

It’s time for a gem from the archives, settle in for another Background Check! On this week’s Intimacy Coordinator, Joel Kim Booster talked to one of our all-stars, the hilarious Zach Noe Towers, so we’re throwing back to his appearance last year, when he told Joel and fellow guests Mano Agapion and Oscar Montoya about the time he attempted a threesome with the textbook threesome couple (the hottest man you have ever seen in your life, and his troll doll boyfriend). Enjoy this rollercoaster of a clip, and don’t miss this week’s Intimacy Coordinator with Zach, Brendan Scannell, and Dr Evan Goldstein!

This week Joel Kim Booster brings in a real specialist, as anal surgeon Dr. Evan Goldstein (Bespoke Surgical, Butt Seriously) joins Zach Noe Towers (Twink Death, Good Sod) and Brendan Scannell (Bonding, The Abyss) for a full hour on bottoming. Zach tells the story of getting examined by a handsome older doctor and his even hotter doctor in training, and Dr. Goldstein breaks down the three types of bottoms and what’s actually true about fiber supplements, what’s in your lube, and safe douching. Then the panel gets into butt plugs versus anal dilators, Botox in the booty, why a direct hit on the prostate can make you feel like you have to pee, and what straight couples should know before pegging.

This week gets spirited as Joel Kim Booster is joined by Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything, Big Divorce Energy), Dewayne Perkins, (The Studio, The Blackening) and relationship coach and author, Allison Raskin (Compulsively Yours, I Do (I Think)). They confess all the ways they’ve been nightmares to date—from Allison staking out a guy's apartment behind a frat house, to Joel blaming every unanswered text on a man's "text rhythm”—before getting into a lively debate on whether or not you should date with a goal in mind, and the morality of ghosting. Plus, a listener asks whether testing her new boyfriend counts as due diligence or sabotage.

It’s time to dip back into the archives for another Background Check! Skyler Higley was on Intimacy Coordinator this week, so we’re throwing back to the classic Bad Date story he told Joel and fellow guests Punkie Johnson and Josh Gondelman. Skyler finds himself in expert mode, but he’s more quickly than Higley.

Joel Kim Booster's first all-straight panel–Asif Ali (Deli Boys, WandaVision), Skyler Higley (The Onion, After Midnight) and Fumi Abe (The Tonight Show, The Late Show)–finally get to ask the potentially career-ending questions that keep them up at night. From why gay men are so mean and what happens when the bottom finishes first, to the male loneliness crisis, the upsides of toxic masculinity, and why Spider-Man makes a better role model than Batman.

What's the most masculine thing about two of drag's most decorated queens? This week, Joel Kim Booster is joined by Monét X Change (Drag Race All Stars 4 winner, The Traitors) and BenDeLaCreme (Drag Race All Stars 3, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show) to talk about all things masculinity—from GAY-ming and bar fights, to fatherly lessons involving studs. Plus the perils of hooking up in drag, mismatched sex drives in marriage, and the little known practicality of tennis balls in pools.

It’s time for another Background Check! This week, Brooks Wheelan was on Intimacy Coordinator, so we wanted to replay the classic Bad Date story he told to Joel and fellow guests Ali Kolbert and Jared Goldstein. The original description for his story was: “Brooks can overlook the scabies, but can the scabies overlook Brooks?” and that’s still all you need to know. Enjoy revisiting this Bad (question mark?) Date, and don’t miss this week’s Intimacy Coordinator with Brooks and ace stand-up (slash his girlfriend) Katherine Blanford!

Joel puts comedy couple Brooks Wheelan and Katherine Blanford on the couch for live couples therapy, starting with the eggs Brooks ate, the all-caps text Katherine sent about it, and why laughing at that text was not the move.

Danielle Perez was on Intimacy Coordinator this week, so it’s time for another Background Check! Join us as we revisit two hilarious and harrowing tales that Danielle told Joel and fellow guests Bonnie McFarlane and James Tom back in the Bad Dates era! First off, this man is simply too close and his lips have not been deemed ADA accessible, and in the second story her date goes full Shark Week. Catch up with Danielle’s tales from the trenches, and don’t miss this week’s Intimacy Coordinator with Danielle, Tien Tran, and Solomon Georgio!

Joel Kim Booster convenes a panel of (at least) double minorities — Danielle Perez, Solomon Georgio, and Tien Tran — to dig into how intersectional identities shape who we date, who we marry, and who keeps asking us to role-play. The panel trades the backhanded compliments they took as wins, sheepishly admits to dating white people, and unpacks the bedroom requests that went too far, from a breaking-and-entering fantasy to a "spicy Latina" audition. Plus: the fight that ended with Joel totaling his car, and advice for a 60-year-old listener wondering just how age-appropriate she has to be.
