Intimacy Coordinator

Series premiere. Joel Kim Booster sits down with comedians and real-life best friends Alyssa Limperis, Evan Williams, and Kel Cripe to take apart the mental “checklist” of qualities we swear we need in a partner — and what happens to that list the second you actually fall for someone. They get into dating red flags, the code words couples use to defuse a fight, and how the relationships we grew up watching shaped what we think love is supposed to be. Plus, a listener question from a newly single party boy looking for a man who’s got his life together but still knows how to misbehave.

Please enjoy another of our favorite recent episodes while we move ever closer to unveiling the new thing we've been working on for you, stay tuned to this feed! This week, it's family time as host Joel Kim Booster sits down with his good friend, actor/comedian Brendan Scannell (Heathers, Bonding, newsletter The Abyss) to discuss maintaining a sense of self in your relationship, making friends later in life, being sober (or Bushwick sober as the case may be), knowing somebody in The Candy Hall Of Fame, and the real work of checking in with your partner. Plus, Brendan brings gifts! And Joel has some advice for single people, which is honestly not that different from his advice for anyone looking to get into entertainment.

The Bad Dates feed is under construction! In the meantime, please enjoy a repeat performance of this episode of Bad Dates, as host Joel Kim Booster welcomes comedians Hannah Pilkes and Max Eddy and drag legend Laganja Estranja to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos. Laganja is in the mood for street meat but they might need a quick bath, Hannah is dating a time traveller, that’s kind of the only explanation, and Maxx initially just has some questions about the spelling.

The Bad Dates feed is under construction! While we coordinate something very exciting, please enjoy one of our favorite recent episodes. In this edition, host Joel Kim Booster welcomes comedians Frankie Quiñones, Becky Robinson, and Jenna Jiménez to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos. Frankie tries to get into the rhythm but it’s so awkward he can only do it for a decade, Becky is seeing a man who is dumb hot and just doesn’t know where to get dinner, and Jenna…this…this is a Hall Of Fame bad date story.

The Bad Dates feed is under construction! While we're busy laying the groundwork for the next few weeks (we said GROUNDWORK), please enjoy a few of our favorite recent episodes. In this installment, host Joel Kim Booster welcomes guests X Mayo, Danny Jolles, and Blair Socci to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos. X made ALL the effort on a first date, Danny has a pretty rough miscommunication at a party, and three-timer Blair’s plan is simple: confuse and confound until they forget.
