About this episode

New host, more cringe dating stories! Joel Kim Booster is here to introduce himself as the new host of Bad Dates, and to invite you down memory lane as you hear his own unhinged dating story from earlier this year, when Joel was a panelist on guest host Marie Faustin’s first episode! All-new episodes coming shortly!


 

On this re-release of Bad Dates, guest host Marie Faustin welcomes comedians Joel Kim Booster, Megan Gailey, and Ian Karmel to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos. Joel haggles over the exchange rate, and the exchange doesn’t go great, Megan tries to drown her grief in hockey, but someone blows up her spot, and Ian…Oh, Ian, no, baby, no. 


 

If you’ve had a bad date you’d like to tell us about, our number is 984-265-3283, and our email is baddatespod@gmail.com, we can’t wait to hear all about it!
