bad dates hello hello and welcome to another edition of the bad dates podcast i am your host joel kim booster here back back back again with more tales from the trenches of people's dating lives. If you're tuning in for the very first time to this podcast, guess what? The concept is right there in the title. It's about bad dates, babe. Okay? And here at bad dates, we include bad hookups, bad relationships, bad marriages, bad divorces. Anything counts as a date here because really what is a date? What is gender? What is life? You know? So many deep questions to be asked, but we're not going to answer them on this podcast because we just want to hear people mind their past trauma for your enjoyment and boy oh boy i'm really excited about today's

panel um nothing but friends today uh just family just family today and that feels good so joining me is an actress producer comedian and writer from the daily show the blackening and the farewell she's currently on the new season of loot and you can see her soon with me on scrubs it's ex mail and they also didn't mention that you can see me uh you and i on loot yeah episode three Baby, baby. Check us out. You're so fantastic on that show. I cannot wait to work with you on Scrubs because we have not, Zach Braff, if you're listening, we have not shared a scene yet. And there's still time to rectify that. Okay. The people demand it. Thank you so much for joining me, my love. The next comedian we have is a comedian and actor who has performed on the late show with Stephen Colbert and you've seen him in Hacks, Ted, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. You can watch his Don't Tell Comedy Set. You choose an interactive comedy set. on YouTube. It's Danny Jalas, everybody. Hello, Danny. Good to see you as always.

Not on Scrubs yet. Not on, but I, yes. Backbrack, Raff, if you're listening. Let me tell you, he's listening. Oh, yeah. He's definitely listening. Yeah, yeah. Number two.

This is his favorite podcast. Okay. And finally, last but certainly not least, we welcome back a comedian from NBC, Comedy Central, Adult Swim, and Bob's Burgers. Her debut one-hour comedy special live from the Big Dog is on YouTube now. It's Blair Saki, everybody.

Our three Pete guests. I know. That is an auspicious honor, I have to say. It's a thrilled to be back. I mean, I have no idea why they called what they were thinking that I have. I think it's because you have a deep well of trauma that you're slowly unpacking. Rather than get a therapist, you're just going to make multiple appearances on this podcast until things start to click. It was cheaper. My therapist is working her ass off, but, you know, I'm doing double. the whole time here.

Your therapist gets workers' comp for having to deal with you. She's deep. In fact, you have actually done what the Joker did to Harley Quinn. You have now made her insane. Yeah. She is a villain now. That's a perfect analogy. Thank you.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Well, you guys, as we do always on this podcast, before we jump into your stories, we have a little bit of an icebreaker so everybody can get to know you and your style of dating. And this question comes from a listener. it is if you have a question that you would like to ask our panel or a piece of advice that you would like answer please email us at bad dates pod

at gmail.com I swear to God someone's checking the email I don't know who but today's icebreaker question is if you were set up on a blind date what's the first question you would ask the person who set you up about the person you're about to go out with

we'll start with Blair oh so you raised your hand yeah well I didn't know it's going to work but definitely do they have a criminal record. That's a good one. I haven't fooled before. That one is a good one.

It tells a story, certainly. The answer does. But unfortunately, like, criminal record, I feel, I feel like you need to get a little bit more granular with, like, is it a felony? Sure. You know. Misdemeanor. I should have qualified serious.

Serious. Serious. Criminal record, parentheses, serious. Yeah. So we're talking murders. We're talking. Yeah. You know, the dear John's out there.

Assault. Like a government job. Yeah, like the Tinder, Swindler, you know, this type of guys. So if the question is, is does their criminal record necessitate a podcast to explain? Absolutely. If your criminal record necessitates a podcast, then it's a no for me. Yeah, no, no. Thank you for distilling that for me.

That's exactly what I mean. But if they got arrested for activism, you're down. Yeah, yeah. If it's like they threw a beer bottle out of police officer. Right. Yeah. It's something of passion, you know, for a good cause. Absolutely, I can ever look that.

And quite frankly, if it's like insurance fraud, who cares? You know, like victimless crime as far as I'm concerned. You shopped with the little Sephora. Go off Queen. Okay? You're still welcome at my table. I love how Joe's looking at me. Because maybe those days in New York, I would go, I was missing sample.

Little lipcloths in the boo. Absolutely. Get a little, uh, Dior Hypnotic. Absolutely. They're a multi-billion dollar industry. I think they'll be okay if you stick a little. little lip gloss in your bra, okay? Absolutely. Thank you very much.

Well, let's go to you, X, ma'am. What would be the first question you would ask about the man or woman that you're being set up with? Their name. That's all I need. I need their full name because I can run a Google search down. My cousin is a lawyer for the feds. That's a true story.

He went to Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia. Clockhead, so 100%. So you're not really, you're not interested in the spirit of a blind date, really. Yeah, the spirit, yeah, the whole, like, aesthetic. of a blind date, I was like, and no shade to the blind community. But I just, I just would love to see, I need to know what's going on.

You would not be in one of those pods and love is blind. Girl, no. I would open up, I would ask so many questions and then we would link up behind the scenes. I would get kicked out. Yeah.

Because I don't think love is blind. Like, I need to know, what do you look like? No. Are you attractive? Like, what is the thing. But you're not allowed to say that. You're not allowed to see.

That it does not work. It does not work. And for the people that it does work for, because there are success stories, there are still many couples that are still together. It's like 11, actually. I'm a big fan.

But for the people that it has worked for, they are horny for each other from the jump. 100%. Those, like, doors open, they see each other. They're like, yes, I can fuck. The ones who don't work are the ones who are like, no, I'm in love with their mind, so I can twist myself into a knot,

becoming attracted to them. Every woman's story. Yeah, don't get me started with Ashley and Lila. Oh, my God. So I just need to know their name because me and my girls, we're like low-key FBI. So I can get whatever they need. Like, if they, especially if they have a podcast, like I want to know what are you talking about? Because I'm not going to waste my time.

You know, like I have 38 years. I'm not playing no more. One time my friend told me that when she was in college, she studied abroad in London. She fell in love with a rugby player. They were supposed to meet up. But then her phone, she didn't have a real phone. She had like a burner phone for being abroad. it died

she couldn't charge it so she couldn't meet up with him at the time and place they were supposed to because she couldn't figure out how to get there and then she was telling me this story and she's like

yeah and I never knew what happened to him all I know is his name and that he played rugby and I tracked this man down on this is back in the day on Facebook in about 25 for 30 minutes

I'm not even shitting you like those were the only two pieces of information she gave me and I was like what year was this and I was able to find his ass. She knew what color

his jersey was, too. That's my jokes of women are like uncovering the truth and solving like cold cases. Have you seen Don't fuck with cats? Oh my God. I couldn't. No, it was... Don't fuck with ladies on the internet who have too much time

on their hands. You don't see a lot of harm because I don't fuck with animals. I'm not an animal person but I don't wish them harm. You don't see harm being done to animals. No, seriously, because some people are anti-animals and they want to see harm. I don't want to see harm done. I just don't need a critter in my house. No.

You feel what I say is, is I do not wish any a will on animals, but they are simply none of my business. No, absolutely. Exactly. Somebody that's shit and pissing and can't tell me I love you and thank you. That has nothing to do with it. No. You love it. But everybody always says that, they were like, you have to see my baby chrysanthemum.

You have to see my little, you know, tangerine, and I'm just like, baby. That was an issue at the Daily Show, because you know why people love it. fucking dogs walking around where we eat y'all come on oh yeah and they love they love to tell you their mouth is actually the cleanest part of their body and it's like I don't know who started this yeah but somebody needs to end it Danny um where what is the question

you would ask about the woman you were being set up with yeah so I was always just so I struggled as a single so when I was being set up I was just like let's get this to happen and I was always down for blind date I love you have told me this before when you're like asking me about and you're like I loved dating it was incredible

I was just like I just sit down for an hour and I just learn about a person Oh I love that. Yeah I would I got a kick out of just like Let's learn about this person sometimes like Sometimes they're being like this is a psychopath Let's learn Other times like this is a person I really like

This might work out but both of those were fun scenarios to me as long as I did something so my question was always Because every first day was the same for me which was what kind of pizza does she like? Because we're always going to go to Patsy's. That's where I took every girl. Oh, that's your first date?

And so the waiter's like, hello, Danny. Another one. It's a revolve-in-door. Bad beats. Hey, folks. It's Joel Kimbooster. I want to let you know about a new smartless media show celebrating the world's dumbest criminals.

It's called Crimeless, and it's hosted by journalist Josh Dean and comedian Roy Scoville. Every week, Josh tells Rory a story or two or three about some ridiculous stranger-than-fiction crimes starring some of the most hilarious ding-dongs you could possibly imagine. Think Coen brothers, but real life. We're talking stage deaths, pretend hitmen, fake drugs, heists targeting Guy Fieri, crimes against cats, and of course, gangs of monkeys rampaging through towns, terrorizing tourists.

New episodes of crime lists are out every Wednesday, wherever. Podcasts are available. Bad dates. We are going to start today with X-Mail and her bad date story. Now, X-Mail, tell me a little bit about your dating style. Are you a serial monogamous? Have you dated around a lot? Are you a slut?

What's your story? Here's the thing. I wish I had the willpower and mindset. of a whore. I really, I think it's so, it sounds so much fun to be like, I can go and have my way with the person. Joel, when I tell you, baby, I'm Jasmine Sullivan, I will bust the windows out your car. As soon as you and I engage in some adult sleepovers, we are together. I don't know how to, my brain and my body is in wire and I know people that are like, they're just like, yeah, we just have fun, we just did that, we just hooked up. I cannot do that. I totally

wish I know. I'm so, like, I think if I met someone, like, at a club, and I was like, okay, let's go. As soon as we get there, it's time, I'm going to be like, so, what's your mom like, where are you from? Like, I would just fucking kill the mood. Also, like, I'm a big germaphone, like, we should shower, you know, like, let's get some

STDs crack in, you know, like, what's, test? I was like, oh. Yeah, let's get some committee out here. Let's fucking go. Okay, baby, that's a little too sex positive, baby. That's sex next. Yeah. But, yeah, so I, So I have, I am a monogamous and have been monogamous my whole life. I'm not, you know, polyscience.

I don't do that. Absolutely not. And that is valid. And here's the thing. Most people that try to do it and a man that tried to approach me about it, you couldn't afford to do it. So I'm not only am I not into it, you can't afford to do it. Because, baby, I'm in Delta One. Where is she going to be?

Exactly. So what's going on? And also, I don't think, have y'all even seen the language around it? It's like the primary partner, secondary. Secondary, baby, it's a bottom bitch. I'm not doing that. I'm not being second fiddle of nobody. I'm non monogamous with my partner,

but I also, we are also not like someone who could do Polly for that reason. And again, like everyone's line is different. Everyone approaches love and relationships differently and whatever works for you and the people you've found. For sure. That is the end, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters. But yeah, it is hard for me to wrap my head around. That's a lot all the time, Joel.

And then also, a lot of people is Polly because they ain't got nowhere to live. That's trail. I need a lot of studs, and I'm like, girl, you got three girls because one, you know, take you to Olive Garden on Tuesdays. The other bitch, you got your other, like, Taco Tuesday, bitch, and then this other bitch, you stay with her, and then you, like, bop around. This is your primary place to stay. So it's just like, girl, I can't, I can't do it. So I don't have the energy for that. So, yes, I am in a relationship now.

I am not. Okay. I am open, but have you seen, it's trash. I think my husband is a black gay man. Oh. 100%. Give me a mean, bitch queen. Down.

We can be on two ends of the house. He can do what he does. I just need love and affection and we can go on dates and I will be there to support you. I'm lavender marriage. I'm very familiar with... Ooh, is that the phrase? Lavender marriage, yeah. That's fun.

I know a couple relationships that are like that. Unfortunately, I am sleeping with their husband. So, you know, I don't know how you'd feel about that part of it. So where in your timeline does your bad date story take place? Very early. I want to say it was my, it was my first day. Whoa. Yes, I was 18.

18, 19, 19, 19, just turned 19. Yes, so, so I can tell it now. Yes, okay, great. Okay, so y'all, so I went away to school in the South, right? I did not finish college because I was like, where do you major in being a star, right? They didn't have that. And so, you know, I'm a millennial, so it was like, you can't get nothing in life. You can't be anything unless you go to college.

I was like, well, Beyonce and Janet Jackson didn't do it, so I'm not doing it. So while I was there and trying to pursue it, I was like, I want to, you know, dance, act, and sing every day. That was like, well, you can major in English with a concentration in theater. I was like, girl, no, sing. Did you say you wanted to read to? No. No, I was like sing and dance right now. So no one in my family I went to college.

I was the first person to go. I didn't research. Looking back at high side, there were some people that told me things, different alumni. I just did not do my Googles. I did not research enough. I had no business being there. However, comma, while I was at the school in the south. Are we allowed to know what school this is?

Huh? Are we allowed to know what school this is? Yes, it was Norfolk State. Okay, okay. It was Norfolk State in Virginia. So while I was there, I met a guy who's from L.A. Oh. So they had, like, L.A. meetups and a lot of girls, because my hair was long in an Afro,

and a lot of girls there had, like, straight hair, and I had, like, a Rosco's hat of some chugs. So this girl was like, you from L. And I was like, how you know? She was like this brousal had these chugs and you don't have like, your hair is like not in a perm or like straight like the rest of the girls in the South. I was like, okay, so I went to a West Coast meetup and met this guy there, right?

So I met him. We like caught a vibe, but it wasn't nothing like, you know, detrimental like that. Mind y'all, remember I'm born and raised in church, right? Okay, like born and raised, like very safe. Go to church. You don't kiss nobody, all of that, right? No experience in dating.

So he sent me a card on Valentine's Day. I was like, oh, my God, this is so sweet. The car, I forgot what it said. He wrote something. tried to, like, make it rhyme. It was not rhyming. And I was like, okay, so you're not a rapper, girl. Or a reader.

And then there was a condom in there. So I thought he was trying to tell a joke. He was like, we're going to use this next time I see you. Now, mind you, I never did nothing, right? Okay, I was scared to use a monostat suppository. You weren't dating in high school. You were courting in the presence of your parents. 100%.

And also, too, Joe, I was always somebody like, I went to audition for Alvin Ailey straight out of high school. their summer dance intensive. I started out as the dancer first and started acting around 12. So I always literally, a guy went to date me senior in high school, I said, I'm going to be a star on Broadway, so then what are you going to do?

Like, I've always been focused on my career. So what happened was he sent me that, and I was like, okay, I guess this is like a joke, don't know nothing, scared to tell my mom, scared to talk to my mom about it. I was like, okay, I don't know what's going on here. And he was just like, I would like to take you on a date. So he was like, I want to take you on a date.

So in my mind, from the movies, you get fly as fuck. And I'm a fly bitch So I was like, okay, I got my nails done Got my hair done, got my hair done And you know back in the day All you need is your hair done Your nails done and some lip gloss So it wasn't like makeup and all that

It wasn't a full contour happening on your face Lace wigs at 13 girls Biggs are crazy So I was like I had a cute little rap I had a new rockerware fit I had me some Js on And I was like okay we're going It's going out

He picks me up y'all He has on basketball shorts And a white tee What? So I said I said okay okay okay okay basketball shorts in the YT he's fucked up the time in

we're going to go home he's going to get dressed this is what I thought I love our pure Oh my God Just the baby Positive thinking Yes

So when we got there I'm like okay And he was like yeah We're going to go to the house I didn't think to ask questions I made an assumption Like he's I look like this

And you look There's no way You have so much self possession And like internal Like the confidence to be like there's no way that this man showed up on the date

looking like that. So clearly, logically, the only explanation is is that we're about to go home so he can change. And I love that about you because my ass at 19 would have been like, oh, I guess that's some,

we're going to play some two on two basketball. We're going to go watch him play video games. Yeah, exactly. But it's bananas as the guy not to be like, because he could have made that audible. Right. He could have audible. He could have seen how,

So, like, sometimes the first date it is like, let's keep it casual. There are certain women who are like, if you show up and you make it really intense, actually don't like that. So sometimes you would play it back a little bit to be like, hey, we're just doing it. Wait, but once you see, you go, I'm going to go back home and change this really quick. That's kind of a cute moment, actually. You can match energy. The fact he didn't have that instinct.

He doesn't have your quick thinking. Well, I'm incredibly quick on my feet, unfortunately. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did not have that. So we get to the house. Okay, we pull him to the house. And so he was like, okay. I'm about to go cook.

So I'm like, okay, so the date is in the house. Okay. Is it a nice house, Victorian mansion? It's like an old school. I loved it. I loved the house. It's like an old school black L.A. house.

Like this is like, it's like a very specific, like, the way the, you always have that, like, that woman who's, like, exhausted like this on the, on the, on the couch. sitting right there. You have like emergency numbers when in doubt. Call 1st John 2 or 4. You see black Jesus like it smells like incense. You see like the Black Panther Wicker Chair. Like it's a very old school black South Central House. Christmas time, you better believe there ain't a white Santa in sight. Oh no, baby. Absolutely not. So yeah, so I'm born and raised this out of church. I should say that

too. So yeah, so that's where we went. That's where his house is. His house is well it wasn't his house. Okay. Okay. So let's we're jumping. So I start seeing all these trophies. Right. So I get nosy because I'm like, well, you didn't left me. I'm walking around a house. I don't know you let me see. And I have trophies in my house too. You know my mama has a, you know, basketball, when you want the most valuable player, all of that. I start looking closely at the course. Of course. We all of course. We all of those. Okay. So I start looking at all the trophies. And I notice that there are trophies from the players ball. Right. Now, for all the non-black listeners out there, players ball is something that I may or may not know because my family may or may not elect. allegedly have been in the industry of pimping. Okay? So, the players ball. Church and the players ball.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She contains multitudes. This is multitudes. Multitudes. Yes. So the players ball is where, if you ever heard of Bishop Magidon Juan,

you've seen a black man in all green stepping out. If you've ever seen that or seen a meme or anything like that, that's what, yes, I love that the black man. That word for production is Rick Rowland. And Kenny knows what? Absolutely. Okay.

So. I see all these awards, right, and participation. And I said, oh, my God, this is this motherfucker trying to get me to be a part of this industry. That's where my brain went, right? Because I have family that may or may not be a part of said industry. So I know how recruiting works. And I was like, wait, girl, you don't know how to fuck. I don't know how to suck dick.

I don't know how to do that. Girl, what is supposed to happen? You'd be a discount. You'd be a discount for sure. Steep discount. Steat discount. It's like when you get your teeth. We've pulled by a trainee, like, who's not a real dentist, yeah?

I always think that your instinct wasn't like, I don't want to be involved, but your instinct was like, I'll be a bad product. I was like, I'm looking up for you. Because I'm trying to, how do I pitch myself? How do I tell him like, yeah, I'm not the one for you? This ain't it. So he comes out still, White T, basketball shorts, came out with some cookies. He said he was going to cook.

Now, mind you, when you say go cook, at minimum, especially L.A., a staple in everybody's house. You can go to anybody who's black or Latino or actually Asia because hell of my Filipino homies. Everything in your house is always ready to make tacos. We always have every, every item that you need to make tacos. We always have it. So at minimum, I thought he was doing that.

Came out with cookies and warm capricons. Warm. Not even wild cherry. Clock it. He came out with Pacific Cooler and Great. Who the fuck does that? Right? Raggedy.

Criminal. So now I'm at, I'm on my sidekick, I had a pink one, and I'm writing the way message, I'm going in. I'm going in, like, what the fuck is this? He was like, okay, let's watch this season finale of flavor of love, right? Well, so. He's got me back. So we're watching the season finale of flavor of love. And I don't know at what point when pumpkin spit at New York, if that got him hotty-toddy.

But all of a sudden there's a tongue in my mouth. Right? Buy pumpkin. Buy pumpkin. So there's a tongue in my mouth. I said, whoa. You know? I don't know.

And it wasn't like, okay, he was like, I'm not trying to make it. He wasn't like being a predator. He wasn't trying to attack me. I really thought there was the lack of some social cues. I don't know what he thought. I'm just like, was so like, uh-uh. And I immediately was like, take me home now. Take me home now.

And he took me home. And that was it. And that was my very first date, and that was a very bad day. How long did you go? Compensation. Yeah. How long did you go before your second date? How to, ooh, oh, girl, I want to say it was a good five years.

Jesus, he sent you back. Oh, my God. Yeah. And that date was really bad as well. He was a catfish. Oh, my God. I was older at that time, so I really put that shit on. I used to have short, like a short fade, and it was pink.

And as you see, pink is my favorite color. and I had all black with pink hair. I had beat my face and that's when I used to a pump bitch. I used to be in 16 inch heels all motherfucker day. Okay. Which one is X's camera? This one right here?

Okay. I want you to look in the camera. And I want everyone at home watching this to look at the prize to be won sitting in this chair and it is over. It is enough. I've had enough of this woman having bad dates. Period.

Oh, my God. Joel, I just think, and if you're listening right here, if you're about 6'3, dark skin, chocolate, gay, straight or bye. Bad beats. Let's turn now to our second storyteller, Danny Jollas.

Same question that I gave to X. What's your general situation around relationships, love, et cetera? You know, I, so I was like serious. single and struggling. I was a struggle of a dater. And then made a hard writer.

And then you discovered pizza. But like the pizza thing was like I was so just like desperate to get them there. And like so I, because I was such a loser in high school. That's true. Came around. Cool now. But I.

Don't worry. The personality, it figured itself out. But it was a slow get. Yeah. I say this on stage. This personality did not thrive in the Virginia public school system. And so we struggled. And so by the time I got to college and then I just was like anybody willing to go to anybody. And then I just made a hard right turn it to marriage.

And now I'm married and like fully long. How many people did you, would you say you had a serious relationships with before your marriage? Serious relationships? Three. Three? Okay. Where in your timeline does your story take place? My story takes place.

This is in Reism, graduating college. And this is when I'm just starting to get it down. And I'm like trying to get out of this kind of awkward place. And like the story I always say is like kind of, this is like a little story, but like the thing I always said about me dating, this girl once said it to me. And we were like together and she got really frustrated with me. And she was like, I don't get you. you're open but you're impenetrable and that like

I was like I'll never not think about this moment this will be what I think about for the rest of my life I'm so glad that resonated with you because I don't quite understand what she means by all I unfortunately understand it completely women you're like opening you're open your front door to your house

but all the rooms are locked I'll say to you I'm feeling very vulnerable in this moment but my face will be like this this and my voice will be like this and you'll be like but you're not really giving me emotion you're not really saying the thing you're saying you're saying the words but not but you're not living it i see and that was really where i was at and i just was so excited to anybody so this story takes place right around there and uh it was uh they were we had we had we i lived with three of the guys couch and uh there were some girls over one was very cute

We started talking. I started working my little charm. A little Danny charm. And I remember we were like in a bedroom together, but we weren't like doing anything. It was just like talking. I remember I would like, I remember distinctly discussing the book C Biscuit, which is aphrodisiac. Oh, baby, that gets the girls gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, baby, talk about four play, Danny. What got it on life? Let me tell you something. Nothing is more attractive than passion. and let me tell you, there's not a better book on this plan than the book Seabiscuit. Sea Biscuit.

Oh, it's the best story you'll ever read. Laura Hillebram. You will love this book. Wow. Okay. So I'm talking to her about C-Biscuit. And you're like, the movie was shit. Don't even get me started on that adaptation.

Didn't capture any of the magic of the book. It doesn't capture the book. And so I'm sorry, you know, I felt like I was sort of winning her over around these things. time and and I'm sort of like starting to like do the longer looks like trying to see if there's a little bit of something back to let me know we can kiss not getting it and I'm like getting close to the point of like oh no good for you for listening to that though let me tell you a lot of people think I'm not getting any of the right signals here but just going to go for it anyway I've been there yeah yeah no the receiver has been turned off I'll do a look to your eyes, look to your mouth, look back to your eyes

75 times if I have to. That's good though, Danny. No, that's good. Yeah, yeah. No, I think it's fair. But it's all I can do. And then, like, I remember there were sometimes girls would be like, he didn't make a move.

And I was like, I couldn't have been clear. No. Because you don't want to be like, yeah. Like, you want to be like, can we? I want to, it's like. No, but then we get awkward. Then it gets all weird. Yeah.

The situations in which saying to someone or whispering to someone, I really want to kiss you right now or can I kiss you right now. It's actually very narrow because it can work and it can be sexy when a guy's like, oh, I really want to kiss you right now. But I think, but. Then being like, can I kiss? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've been yelled at for this hot take before. This is beyond me yelled at before. I believe on another podcast. I got yelled at for this opinion, but I end by many women. Whose podcast was it, by the way? By many women, I've been yelled at because I've always said two women. If you hear a guy say, do you want to kiss

for the record, he's been probably giving you signals for 30 minutes, and he's at his wits end. Oh. For the record, you're missing a lot of signals. That guy is literally hit the point of, I'm going to say the cartoonishly embarrassing. This goes back to the whole point. Manor from Mars, winner, aren't in Venus, okay? You're speaking two different languages. Why don't we do a little internal looking?

What point might we have missed that led to him asking that question? Could we have missed something? So you've been looking at this girl's lips. And her eyes. She's giving me nothing. I'm getting close to the, do you want to kiss me? After C-Biscuit, this is just crazy.

And then she goes, and then she goes, she looks at me and she goes, do you want to go to the bathroom? Oh. With me? Oh, with me. You want to go to the bathroom? Not with me.

Do you want to go to the bathroom? And I went, there's people around. So I was like, yeah. Okay. I'm desperate. So I was like, okay. and so we got up and she led the way and I followed her and you know I was pretty scared this is so erotic it was pretty it's yeah it was pretty erotic and she went to the bathroom

and I went behind her and then you know I closed the door and she looked at me and she was like surprised and then I was like what and then she said what and I said what you said she's she said I I have to go to the bathroom Oh And then I ran Wait, but no girl You said do you want to go to the bathroom Why would you, if I didn't go to the bathroom

I'm not asking you no question She should go to the bathroom She tricked your ass She tricked my ass And I was mortified And I went oh my God And then I left I like took a second to be like

There's got to be a way to recover this she left that bathroom and I believe left the party immediately. And so I never saw her again. She invited you to the bathroom. I felt she did. There's a chance I miss heard, but I certainly don't think I did. And it was horrific. And that was when I was like, I meant my wits end with this day in world.

It's so interesting. How did you get in the bathroom? Like that's my thing. I've entered a lot of bathrooms. I would feel a body Was not until the turn Because I'll never forget Because if you can believe

It this moment is Hard locked in my brain Oh yeah I can never forget this moment So I remember The turn to my face She was Wait because we're looking here

It's C-Biscuit Yeah Can we kiss? Can we kiss? Can we not kiss? I'm looking at you and I say Do you want to go to the bathroom? I'm sorry Young lady You gaslit Danny

Period No, you was one of the first women to do it. And you know what, that's equality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But my thing is, yeah, queen, yeah, but yeah, Dedy, I don't think you were wrong for that. No. I hope you don't look.

In retrospect, I think I could have done a what? First of all, here's the thing, though. I know many of your girls that get down in the bathroom. Oh, no, real. I've read books. If someone said to me, do you want to go, do you want to go to the bathroom? I know one of two things. things is about to happen in the next five minutes.

Dicks are being sucked or drugs are being done. Okay? That is the only reason you would say, do you want to go to the bathroom just someone you're sitting at a party with flirting? Like, it's it. That's it. And I'm looking dead at you. No, you didn't misread that.

And also, too, this is what get me. If you, soon as you start walking with me, we're not even making it into the bathroom. I'm like, oh, baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't get over the fact that I'm fully in the bathroom when this, when she does the term. That's why I think she was fucking with you. I think she might want to get down with the get down, but she might have been nervous

because you got to watch them girls. Because I know the church girls who like to sit here and act like they don't want to do anything nasty, but they really be dick-sucking virgins. Right. They had nothing in their vagina. So I see her as being somebody like,

okay, you know what? I think I can. I think I can. As soon as we get in there, she's like, no, I said, I. Girl, you're lying. I have another scenario. And, Danny, I hate to do this to you.

Please. There's nothing. But. Yes. You know, the party, it's like moody, it's romantic. You're talking, you're vibing. She's like, let's go to the bathroom. You get into the bathroom.

She turns on that light, that awful bathroom. She saw me. Overhead. To the side. It's not, it's not impossible. And she, and she still did wrong by not saying, but she did, she might have, you know, the bathroom light is just not flattering to anyone. It's not flattering to anyone.

Oh, my God. Could happen to any of us. Listen, I'm a good man the second she said, I said that I'm leaving this environment. So I left immediately. And, but. Purple heart for you for doing what the woman asked. I said, then I'm out of here. Bad dates.

Bad dates. Let's talk now about your bad date story. You've told us before on the pod a little bit about your date. dating history. We just found out you were going on a hundred hinge dates. No, not a hundred. I know. I'm kidding. I was like, who has the time? I'm so busy. But you're currently single. I'm currently single. You've been in a couple

relationships. Yeah, I've been a couple long, I've been in probably like four long-term relationships, but now I'm at a point where I want to get married and have a child. And I've been... And I've been in that place for like probably two years, but I'm always touring and I'm the sleepiest bitch you've ever met. So if I have like a

free night, the last thing I want to do is like go on a day but I do have to what if the date is a picnic in your bed that sounds really nice you get out the bed blanket yeah or the the eating blanket if I if I if I already knew I liked them then I would be thrilled for that that would be a dream country yeah no that's sexy and thoughtful um for my chronic fatigue so you you want to get married you want to have the baby you're sort of locking in but it your lifestyle makes it difficult yeah my lifestyle makes it difficult because I'm like such a sub so I like to and I grew up around like very masculine men.

What do you mean such a sub? Like, like, because I'm a stand-up comic. I have to be such like an alpha in my life. Like, I like to really feel like a woman when, like a gentleman because I have older brothers, like, I see the way they treated their like women and wives. And like, yeah, I want to feel feminine in that scenario because I'm not that in the rest of my life. It's such a male-dominated feel that we're in.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um, wait. Am I talking about my date? Well, now you should be talking about your date. I'm just going to move us in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where in your timeline does your date take place? Okay, this one was when I was really young.

I think I told them I was going to talk about it, but I'm going to talk about a different one. And this was when I was a commercial real estate broker, if you can believe it. We all live different lives. Yeah. So many different lives. I've had 25 lives. Same. And, you know, everyone was like.

Because where I'm from Orange County, shred, all the dudes there do commercial real estate, it's like the West Coast Finance. And so everyone told me, like, I had just graduated college and I was living at home and I really wanted to move out. And someone offered me a job. And I really didn't want to do it. But I was like, okay, whatever. My family's like, you're going to hate this. I was cold calling. They're like, are you 12?

Are you legally allowed to work? No, but I go on. a date with like one of these like guys and he was pretty nice I don't know they were all hot they all surf but whatever I was so young and we go on a day to a cool old like red booth

Newport Beach establishment that's where I was living at the time fancy fancy um and I'm wearing so many pencil skirts I'm wearing heels every day I'm wearing yeah I'm wearing skirt suits

oh yeah yeah so we go on a day like we get like hammered because those were the drinking days just absolutely I don't know what it was like probably Moscow mules it's just like yeah yeah yeah we're talking square footage we're talking deals we know whatever and then he's like you know they all have the side part absolutely yeah they all have the side part their clothes are all fitted anyways um so we go we go after and we're like having a good time like I don't know how I feel about if I like like him or whatever but he's cute we're having fun and he's like oh you want to go one um my friend's boat um they're over at like this bar so you want to he wants to take you to a second location that's on the sea yeah but it was in the car and they're like i've been drinking and i'm 23 so you're about to be frontal lobe natalie wooded right off the side of that boat yeah there are no laws of that yeah yeah i know maritime law so um he's like oh yeah i have friends and like i knew some of these people so i was like sure like i'm wasted whatever a 23-year-old.

Yeah, yellow. Fuck, yeah. The date was, like, from work. So I'm, like, wearing one of these fucking, um... Skirt suits. Skirt suits. Pets on skis. And Taylor loft.

Oh, yes. Taylor loft up my fucking ass. Yeah. So then we get on this boat. It's a bunch of, like, other drunk dudes in the business. But, like, I know a lot of them. And the owner of the boat, um, I'm drunk at this point. Um, there was, like, some rumors about him.

And I was like, ugh, he's, like, so skeezy. And then I'm telling someone, I'm telling someone, yeah, I can't believe this guy cheated on his wife. And the guy whose boat it was, he goes, looks, taps me on the shoulder and goes, excuse me? And you're at sea right now. And you're on his boat. I'm on his boat. Poseidon's voice. And I'm the only girl also.

And I go, I was one of those moments, like, maybe like one of two or three in my life where you're just so caught, like, what do you even say? And I go, I'm sorry, sir, I'm 23 and you're killing my dreams. And my date is just sitting there going, oh, my God. Because he worked at the same company as I'm high. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. And then I think he was so shocked by my panic, just. Yeah.

No, that's a good. Me jerk. It was from the depths of my soul was so honest because I had, it was like, do or die in that moment. It's such a method to just scream and confuse. Just confuse them, bewilder them, and then they'll forget why they were mad. It was the truth. Because in his mind, he didn't say much to get that. I love that he didn't say, why are you lying?

Yeah. I love that he didn't say, he said, excuse me. But that's also why. in his mind, he's got to be like, where did that come from? I hadn't even yet, like, gone in. No, he knew for a lot. Well, first of all, he was being way too flirty with me and was much, much older. And, like, no, he was not denying it at all.

He knew. He just didn't like you were talking about it. Yes, yes. On his boat. Of course, I didn't think that he heard me or was right. Right. Which is, this is before you realized what you were working with vocally, I guess. Because, Blair, I don't know if I've never not heard.

that's really nice I can whisper sometimes prove it yeah but like I was I was just oh my god the horror like my whole body froze like I was like yeah I'm about to be thrown over this fucking bow and my date was like

oh my god I can't even believe this but I lived to tell the tale and I saw that man many times after and each time oh not the date but yeah yeah no the day we ended up being friends the man who killed your dreams yeah yeah the um The cheater, the boat cheater. And I would be like,

hello, Mr. Hello, Mr. Boat Cheater. I'd always call him Mr. to make him feel like much older than me. That is so good and smart. Unless they're into that. Yeah. To shut it down so he wouldn't try to highlight you.

I don't think it bothered him even, like he. Disgusting. In fact, it might have been on even more. Yeah, he was so not. But the horror in me, like, the fighter flight that I felt like I still can remember it. Like, it was yesterday.

It was like so. I know you're a strong swimmer. I'm surprised. You didn't dive right into the water and swim to shore. If it wasn't 11 p.m. at night, I would have gone straight in my pumps and pencil skirt. Yeah. I would have been paddleboarded my ass right back to shore. Well, what did you learn from your experience, Blair? Just tell the truth.

Tell the truth. And, you know, the truth always comes out. So if you're a cheater, careful, there's 23-year girls around. You know, that's what I fucking learned. How about you don't cheat, bitch? Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good lesson to end on, I will say. And what wise words from Blair Socky?
