Smart.
Blast.
Neon.
Here's a question.
When is it okay to ghost?
I guess if like a pregnancy test comes back positive.
Hehehehe.
Bad Dates.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of Bad Dates brought to you by Smartless Media.
I'm your host, Joel Kim Booster, here with another set of terrible, no good, awful dating
stories from some of my funniest friends.
I'm really excited
about today's episode. Some old friends, some new friends, just lots of really incredible people
on the mic today. But before we jump into their bad date stories, as always, I'm going to start
off the episode with a little bit of listener advice and email from Fiona today. This is a doozy.
Bad Dates
Please help me decide if I'm being too petty.
I matched with a man on Field,
the app for non-traditional relationships and sex.
We agreed to go to a sex party on our first date.
We met for a drink before and we were clicking.
On the drive over though, just before we go in,
he says, let's agree on our escape word.
He said, are you okay with McNuggets? He was serious.
I thought, what are you five? Remember, I am pretty open to a lot of shit, but this was not it.
Somehow this shackled my vibe and I called it off. What do you think? Well, Fiona, I have a pretty
strict policy here when I'm answering advice that I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
I usually try to side on the person who is a fan of the podcast who's writing in, but
I'm afraid to tell you Fiona that unfortunately you were being too petty. This is insane.
This is insane what you did. I don't want to hold back at all because I think you need
some tough love here. You met with a presumably a straight man or a man who's interested in straight sex.
Traditionally, not the most healthy or heroic of people, as we can all agree, I think, here
on the podcast.
And this man already, the foundation of this relationship is non-traditional relationships
and sex.
You agreed to go to a sex party. Okay, that's crazy. It feels like you've already found a bit of
unicorn. And then you click at drinks. And the thing that sets you off is that he wanted an
escape word, but it was the wrong escape word. Mick Nuggets doesn't even feel that crazy to me.
I'm so sorry. I feel like unfortunately in this situation you were the problem and my friend
Big Nuggets, I think he actually dodged a bullet.
Now Fiona, I hope you still listen to the podcast after this and I hope you rate and
review and I hope you remain a huge fan of mine.
But I do think you need to take a look in the mirror and decide the fact that this man wanted to set up an escape board at all is
such a win for his community.
And I just can't, I can't wrap my head around the fact that McNuggets was so offensive
to you that you called off going to the sex party.
Can I tell you, I've been to so many sex parties and my bar for calling off going to
the sex party is so much higher than yours.
I have been traumatized and still gone to the sex party.
But let's find out where our guest's bars are in terms of canceling the sex party.
We'll dive right in here with again some of my favorite people.
First new friend I made in the New York comedy scene.
A huge fan of this person.
She's an actor and a comedian from shows like SNL
and Home Economics.
Please give it up for Sashir Zubaira.
Hello.
Hello, hello, Sashir.
Next, we have another dear, dear friend.
Actor, comedian, and writer with credits on Raven's Home,
Netflix's Joke, and Hot White Heist.
Give it up for Nori Reed. Hello. Hi, Joel. Hello, Nori. And then last but certainly not least, this man, I haven't
seen him in person in a box. Oh, he just disappeared from the zoom that we were just chatting on.
I don't know if he disappeared for good or if he is just turned off his camera.
I am currently recording right now.
OK, amazing.
So this is actually this is going to make a perfect cut.
So, Dan, what what do you think about the McNuggets
safe word situation at the orgy?
What is your takeaway as the as a sole straight man on the pod?
Well, when I heard McNugget,get I was like is this person of age?
I was a little disturbed for other reasons
I'm like what adult man uses McNugget and also if I'm going to a sex party the last word
I'm using is McNugget because I want to hide the obvious that you know
Right, this is why I haven't been invited to a lot of sex parties before. Well, I think that's part of it.
I mean, there's two things that you've brought up that I want to speak very
quickly about, which is a like as a safe word user in a lot of these situations,
you have to pick a word that you will not be using at the sex party.
You have to pick a word that is so far outside of what would come up during a
sexual situation at the sex party.
And McNugget sort of is that. Where I think he went wrong, though, is the branding.
Why not Nugget? Why McNugget?
Nugget could be sexual. It could be like a new thing that.
Oh, that's true.
I'd be like, oh, what's a nugget? Like, is there something I missed?
McNugget's like, that's clearly a McDonald's.
For sure.
I guess like your rights this year,
cause like nugget is like,
it could be a descriptor for Gentilia,
both of both genders really.
It's like, get that nugget in me.
I wanna suck on that nugget.
Things like that.
Or a toy or something.
Yeah.
And with McNugget, it really is like,
I wanna suck on that McNugget, it's like
you're having sex with an Irish person, you know?
And how likely is that at the sex party?
Because we know Irish people aren't getting invited.
We're notoriously bad at sex parties.
Yeah, everybody knows that.
Jeans are bad.
Yeah, it always ends up turning into a threeact play when it's an Irish orgy.
Bad dates.
Bad dates.
It's time for the reason for the season. The reason why everybody downloaded this fucking
pod today, it's you guys, you are the stars.
You are the stars.
And I cannot wait because I'm looking at your faces
and Dan we talked a little bit before we started recording.
I know you have a host.
I know you have PTSD from dating stories.
But Sashir, I'm interested to hear which era
of Sashir we're digging from.
The Bad Date Story that came to mind, This year we're digging from.
The bad date story that came to mind, maybe it was around the time you and I met Joel,
but it was like early New York days in my 20s.
And I was dancing at some club and was like.
As a professional or just for fun?
As a patron.
As a patron, okay.
Shout out to Pumps on Grand Avenue, baby.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was just like having fun with friends
and I was like dancing and flailing my arms
and I accidentally hit a guy
who was standing next to me in the face.
And I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
And he was like, hey, that's okay.
I wanna talk to you anyway.
And I was like, okay. Okay. I'm so sorry. And he was like, hey, that's okay, I wanna talk to you anyway. And I was like, okay.
Okay, organic.
This is like the start of an Anna Faris rom-com.
Absolutely.
The me queue where I'm like, oh my God, sorry.
And we were dancing with each other
and then he was like, I wanna get your number,
but he didn't have a phone,
which should have been the first red flag.
He was like, put it in my friend's phone.
And I was like, okay.
And just went with it.
And this year, this would have been like early,
like 2010s probably around then?
Yeah, probably like, probably 2010.
Yeah.
So he should have a phone.
Yeah, exactly.
Like phones were pretty ubiquitous at this point.
It doesn't have to be an iPhone.
We weren't like getting into the nitty gritty
about the differences between, you know,
Android and iPhones yet.
Absolutely.
A phone would have worked.
Foot phone.
He just didn't have a phone.
But I think, I don't remember the story,
I don't know if it was broken or whatever,
but he just didn't have a phone on him.
So I put my number in his friend's phone,
and then sometime later he started texting me
and calling me on, I'm assuming his phone.
And he was Haitian, and it was just a real thick accent.
And I wish I could say I understood everything he was saying.
Do you wanna give it a stab?
I do not, I really don't.
I'll do it, I'll do it.
I've actually been sexually harassed by a Haitian
when I was a janitor, me and another guy.
His name was, I can't say his name.
He would say, let me see that cocoa, which is, I guess Haitian slang for pussy.
Oh, he was asking to see your cocoa.
I think, yeah, sometimes it's like a just like, you know, dude, guys will be guys
fucking around, you know, oppressed by the capitalist custodial structure.
And then other times, other times, I think he was just saying it, you know, oppressed by the capitalist custodial structure. And then other times, I think he was just saying it,
you know, if a lovely substitute teacher came in for the day,
you know, we were the animals of the bureaucratic
public school system.
Yeah.
Well, I don't endorse that.
I think the janitors are actually the kings and queens of the bureaucratic public school
system.
They would appreciate that if they weren't still listening to AM radio.
So he had a thick Haitian accent, couldn't understand everything.
No, but somehow we figured out to go on a. And he asked me to go to the sushi place in New York
and go like, way the fucking Queens.
And I lived in Brooklyn at the time,
I think in Greenpoint.
And I was like, sure, fine.
But I had no idea how far it was actually gonna be.
So I definitely left later than I should have.
And then when I got there, I realized it was a train.
How many trains are we talking?
Probably three.
Wow.
I can't remember which ones, but like it was a journey.
And then I- You must have been hot.
So here's the thing.
I walked in.
Yeah.
And the restaurant was brighter than the club we met in.
And so I realized he was not as hot
as I thought he was when I met in. And so I realized he was not as hot as I thought he was when I met him.
And so I was like, oh, no, this this is unfortunate.
And then sat down, started eating, started talking.
And I was like, oh, this we're not vibing and I'm bored and this sucks and I don't
want to be here anymore. So I just decided to, like, mentally escape and just drink a
bunch. And I was just like, just eating and drinking a lot.
And then he was like, Hey, I have a friend who has a birthday party or something
nearby. Do you want to go? And I was like, I guess, which I should have said no,
but I was like, sure. And we took a bus.
We had to get on a bus because the train lines did not continue this far.
So we got a bus to go to this friend's house
and we get to the house.
Everyone else is like, is probably Haitian,
speaking Patois to each other.
I have no idea what anyone's saying.
And then there's weed there.
So I was like, well, I'll just continue this escape.
And I-
Oh my God.
Just kept smoking and drinking.
This is such an interesting moment this year
because you've now done three trains, one bus for a man that is not hot that you have physically assaulted.
That you can't, that you can barely communicate with.
I know. Not safe really. Not smart for my own safety.
Thank God. And thank God for the sake of this podcast that you didn't know what you know now.
I know. Yeah. now. Yeah, yeah.
Full second location.
Full second location, another mode of transportation,
and someone was like, hey, I'm driving to the train
because we need a ride to get to the subway,
the closest subway stop, and does anyone need a ride?
And I was like, hell yeah, I do.
And so I stood up, but I was standing next to the speaker that was playing the music and I didn't
realize the cord was wrapped around my foot.
And I stood up and just took the whole speaker down and it came crashing on the
floor. I mean, it really does feel like an Antifarous movie.
And then everyone's staring at me and I was like, well, got to go.
And I ran to that person's car, left the guy at the party, didn't tell him I was leaving.
And then he's texting me as I'm on the way to the train and he's like, oh, did you leave?
And I was like, yes, I did.
And he's like, well, wait for me at the train.
And I was like, OK.
And so I did. What?
What is the power that this man has? I need to understand the power here.
Maybe he put a spell on me.
It's either he's very powerful or be honest, Sashir,
how badly were you feeling about yourself in this moment of time?
Oh, pretty bad. I was desperate.
Again, wasn't getting dates.
So I was like, I don't know, let's see what happens.
I think it was just too nice to say no.
Man, comedy has destroyed all of us as far as dating, because I hear it's this year's
voice, her saying like, well, maybe this could turn into something.
Yeah, exactly.
I was literally about to bring up stand up brain to the conversation,
because this is a common theme, a common thread on this podcast.
You're like, oh, maybe this will be fun at some point.
Yeah, they're like, let me ride this out so I get a type five out of it.
Like could be something, who knows?
And like, I guess so far, even though I could have been in danger, I wasn't.
So I was like, whatever, he can he can meet me.
And then I was going to one of my friend's parties.
So he tagged along.
I'm trying to ditch him in this party.
He's still following me.
And then I was like, OK, I'm going to go home.
And he's like, oh, walk you to the train.
And then he walks to the train.
He tries to kiss me and I just lower down so much that
the kiss lands on my forehead.
Turtle, turtle style.
Yeah. So I just like shrank inside my body.
And then he texted later and I just ghosted him.
And I remember for weeks telling that story, being like,
can you believe this idiot?
This asshole wouldn't leave me alone.
And later I was like, oh, I was the problem.
He was like making it very clear what he wanted.
He wanted to keep hanging out.
And I was like, ugh, fine.
And I could have just been like, hey, so nice to meet you, this is not gonna work,
I'ma go, but I just extended it for an eternity.
Yeah, it does feel like, ugh, this idiot,
can you believe he wanted, but like, in fact, it's like,
can you believe this person, you, is alive?
Three different modes of transportation. Yeah. Two different
locations. Not sober either. I escaped mentally pretty early in the date. It would have been
nicer almost for you to knock on to the second location in a lot of places. Absolutely. Because
then you just would have had a great night without me as opposed to being like, what's
happening? And just chasing me all over the city. Yes, yeah, I actually cock blocked him.
He could have seen somebody else's cocoa.
And I just,
I was in the way.
How far do you think you would have gone
in your quote unquote niceness
before aborting the date, do you think?
Would you have gone all the way back to his house?
God, I hope not, but also I can't put it past myself. I was young and dumb.
Maybe. I could have been married by now.
Norrie Reed, here we are. Give us some context. What is your style? Are you a dater? Are you
a monogamist? Are you in a relationship now? Do you want to be in a relationship now? What's
your deal?
I'm very single. Looking to date if there's anyone out there who wants to date a traumatized
person. I'm so open.
Yeah, absolutely.
And yeah, have you had a string of relationships?
Are you a do you go on a lot of dates?
What's I don't go on too many dates.
Well, and I should say on this podcast in my house, hookups count as dates.
OK, because otherwise I have nothing to talk about.
I'm a little bit of a of a monk, a little bit of, I like alone time, but I'm very open to people.
I do flirt. I flirt a lot in everyday life, like with the barista and stuff. Consensual.
Consensual.
Nothing bad. Like there's a good vibe.
I don't know that we can call flirting with the barista consensual though,
because they are at work and they have to accept it.
No, no, I think, Joel, I think about that. Those are things that I think about.
So I don't, I don't do nothing like that.
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
And that's the story of why I'm no longer allowed at Coffee Bean.
I'm the person where like they give like a free cookie to and that's the green light.
If you get a free cookie from a Rista, that means okay.
Or your home ones so they want you to stop using the bathroom.
One of those two.
Absolutely.
On your way, please.
Okay, amazing.
So where is this story taking place in time and place? ["SHADOWS AND THE FUTURE"]
This is 2011.
Wow.
Rihanna's We Found Love is pumping in the club.
And I have a feeling you don't find love.
Oh, no. We did not find love in a hopeless place.
I was a young twink in New York City.
Just kind of, just discovered my sexuality.
I was kind of in my first slut era.
I was being kind of slutty.
Love, huh.
I was sugar land, metropolitan.
Yes, heard of them.
If there's any packets out there.
Yeah, you know all these things.
But it was winter time.
I almost said winter break, like I was in college.
But no, this was just winter time.
And it was around Christmas.
So I went back home to Kentucky, where I'm from.
And I was newly sexually liberated.
And Kentucky, famously a place you want to be sexually liberated in.
Of course.
It's the...
That is the place to go to feel good about your body and yourself and your sexuality.
But I was just feeling really open.
So I did...
It was kind of like a pilgrimage.
I did whatever, you know, gay guy at the time.
I did Grindr in my hometown.
That's a milestone.
I'm in Kentucky and a gay guy...
I'm at the time, I'm a little gay twink who just
discovered sexuality. So I was on Grindr. I saw this brunette man, kind face, kind eyes. I'm a
little bit of a demisexual. I like, you know, like emotional connection, which is horrific and disgusting. I know, I know, I know. I don't like it.
But we matched, we connected, he was really cute. And then he threw the curveball of my, well,
me and my partner. He dropped the P. He dropped the, not the good P, the bad P, and that is part.
And so, and so I said, oh, okay.
And so I didn't realize this,
but him and separately as partner was also messaging me.
So I didn't realize that.
Oh, I love, I actually love when that happens.
I love when that happens.
Okay.
Yeah, it's like double attention.
But I was only kind of into the brunette.
The partner was a little squirrely looking,
kind of like a little too like, just like too eager,
like an eager beaver kind of squirrel, beaver squirrel.
It's a pay the toll kind of situation,
which is how.
Yeah.
Pay the toll.
Yes, there's a toll.
You gotta pay the toll to get to the brunette.
Ironically, eager beaver was the bar you guys met at too.
Yes, yes, absolutely.
So, you know, we're in Kentucky, it's two in the morning,
there's no, we're not gonna,
there's no like bar to go to, there's nothing.
But he was like, you should come over, we should hang out.
And I was like, okay, wait, I'm sexually liberated,
my parents are asleep.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Those two sentences go together.
I'm sex liberated, my parents are asleep.
So I sneak to the car and I drive 30 minutes
to where they are, which is across state lines.
I'm in Kentucky, they're in Tennessee.
Oh wow.
And I get to their place
and I've never had a threesome before.
It was my first ever threesome.
And honestly, last, that was my only threesome.
Really?
Yes, yes.
I am not, I'm also not in threesome shape right now.
I'm very much, I'm in cam girl shape, not in threesome shape.
Yeah.
I get there.
And the first thing that I,
the first sense is I smell pizza rolls.
Okay, there are pizza rolls. OK, there are there are
there are different kinds of soda.
And it kind of felt like a birthday, like a kid's birthday party is kind of.
Was this all in a finished basement?
Yeah, I mean, that is the vibe table.
There's a guy in a Buzz Lightyear concert taking pictures.
Yeah, it was it felt it felt very sweet and very innocent
and actually kind of a beautiful way,
but we were all the same age.
We were in our early 20s.
But I get there and immediately can tell
I'm connecting with the brunette.
We're connecting, we like each other.
This girly person is kind of like a PA.
He's kind of walking around, just kind of and like, just making sure things are going well. So
their status happening, it's kind of uncomfortable. But things ultimately do move to the bedroom.
We get to the bedroom. And me and the brunette are like, sexually just like, it's intense.
And anytime the third person like tries to get involved, I immediately like am not. It's truly just like, it's intense. And anytime the third person tries to get involved,
I immediately am not, it's just,
it could not have been more clear.
I think at one point I had pushed him away.
Like it was-
You were literally boxing him out of the three-
Yes, it was getting really weird to the point
where we actually didn't even finish anything.
But then when the brunette person went, I don't know why I keep calling him brunette person when I love that
That's his identifier. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I'm envisioning a brunette man
actual squirrel
It's Danny DeVito just say yeah, we're in Tennessee So there's a squirrel and there's a brunette guy.
And basically the brunette guy goes to the bathroom to just kind of like freshen up.
I kind of follow him in there.
Not again, not in a weird barista way, just an egg and sensual way.
And then I go and then we literally we go to that.
We fuck in the bathroom.
We like finish in the bathroom.
We fuck in the bathroom alone.
And then we kind of eat.
We then eat the pizza rolls
post-coital, that's when we're eating the pizza rolls.
A post-coital pizza roll, there is nothing better.
It was incredible.
Me and the brunette were kissing
when the squirrels in the kitchen were making out.
It's like so, so crazy.
So I go back to Brooklyn, right?
I go, Christmas is over, I go back to Brooklyn, right? I go, Christmas is over, I go back to Brooklyn.
Me and Brunette, we start sending each other letters.
Physical letters.
Oh my God, like fucking Jane Austen over here.
Physical letters.
I painted him a portrait of him and mailed him a portrait.
Wow.
This is how weird it started to get.
Where like, it was just this kind of like very intense,
he was talking about moving to Brooklyn. He was like, I'm gonna move.
Does Squirrel know about any of this?
No. And then one day I get a Facebook message from Squirrel.
And it says, I found all of your letters. I found the portrait. And if you talk to my man one more time,
I have your address and I will kill you.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
Kill?
I mean, fair.
Not fair.
That's extreme.
Murder's not fair.
Fair.
No, no, no.
Fair.
You're right.
You're right. It sucks. I deserve it. But No, no, no, fair. You're right, you're right, you're right.
It sucks.
I deserve that.
But also like.
I deserve that.
You are one person in a two party situation.
No, exactly.
Why is he should be more mad at Brunette, not at you.
Brunette's closer.
Is Coral gonna murder Brunette?
To fly across country to murder someone
is a lot more intense than just killing the person
next to you. How does it all turn?
Well, it's funny because Brunette did text me,
he was like, hey, I think I'm gonna do it,
I'm gonna break up with him, I'm gonna move to Brooklyn,
and that's when I went, actually, no.
I was like, can you please stay?
I was like, this has been crazy,
it's been some weird thing, but like, I don't,
I have a, I live with like four people.
Like, this is not gonna work.
And so we ended it, yeah. You're hanging it up in service of couples
all across the nation.
Cause you're too powerful.
I'm just too powerful.
That's what it is.
Bad Dates.

Bad Dates.
Bad Dates. Dance state, Jermaine. You were talking a little bit before the record.
You seem to have a well.
I have a well, but yeah, my red flags, it's not like I have, I ignore so many red flags
that like if you, I'm married now, but if like you had an aerial photograph of my dating
history, it would just look like cultural revolution China.
Like all the group like. One time I remember I did this show,
I don't know if you ever did this this year,
it was Gotham City Access.
It was after Gotham, it was after Gotham,
live at Gotham, they did Gotham City Access.
And I did the set, a great set,
and there was this like girl.
Is it AXS?
Is that what it was? AXS, did you do that one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You did that one.
Yeah, I've done, yeah. Yeah, I've done.
Yeah, you did that one.
So I'm having this like amazing set and I just see this girl in the middle so hot and
I can see her looking at me.
I'm like, oh, she's into this grizzly Adams looking motherfucker.
Later in the night, I get a message and I just see her Facebook profile page.
It looks like her.
So she's like, we started talking and then all of a sudden it gets
like dirty. And then I was like, Hey, why don't you come over? And she's like, yeah, great. She comes
over. It's not her. In what way? It was not her. Like her face looked a little like her, but like,
it was my fault. I should have seen more of the Facebook pictures. But then she comes into my room, looks around my room,
and just goes, well, I guess I won't be needing this.
And she takes a knife out of her bra
and just throws it on the bed.
Oh my God.
And to give you an idea of what being a straight cis man is,
I still fucked her.
I still went for it. Did you move the knife?
Of course. Yeah.
I tried to do.
I was so poor at the time.
I tried it was like I was talking about like some girl like Graze and Anna.
I'd be like, oh, I'm going to tie you up.
But then I realized I got home and I'm like, fuck, I don't have bed posts.
So I just like I just like tie this girl.
And she's like, like she's like,
well, I just feel like I'm like in back of a van.
This doesn't feel like I'm doing like.
So yeah, I've tied now.
What kind of how?
I mean, not to sound like a gay guy, but how big how big was it?
How big was the knife?
Big. It was like a butterfly knife.
Whoa. Like crocodile Dundee style.
Like it wasn't no crocodiles, a buck knife.
This was like, you know, like, you know, warriors like like warrior,
you know, in the warriors, they'll like take it up.
Yeah, like a switchblade.
I know, like a switchblade. OK. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. So totally normal.
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, totally normal.
I had another this one girl, this Cuban girl I brought home once.
She looked at I had a photo of the Kennedys and she she looked at it, she goes, ugh, you're a Democrat?
And I was like, well, I don't know,
I guess I'm more liberal than conservative,
and she's like, all right.
And I realized, oh, I get it,
I look like a January 6th guy.
So some girls, she's like, oh, I'm gonna fuck
one of these January 6th guys,
and then they hear my opinion on universal healthcare,
and they're like, God damn it.
Bring us home with the piece of the resistance.
We've got knives.
We've had you not being able to tie up women because of poverty.
Yeah. You know, like there's been some victories.
Like there was this one really hot, cute girl I met at a comedy club
who may have not been a waitress there.
And then we were hanging out afterwards and I bought her a hot dog.
And she's like, well, you bought me a hot dog.
I guess I have to fuck you now.
And I was like, sitting there like, I guess I was like,
I didn't know about the hot dog cause. Yeah.
So here is this a rule that straight women have?
It's not a rule, but if you buy me a hot that straight women have a rule.
But if you buy me a hot dog, I will fuck you.
I just figured it out.
I just figured it out.
I had one of those.
And then I was on a second date with a girl I met on OKCupid.
And I had taken her like this Australian restaurant, which I didn't know they had
a cuisine, but they did.
And we're like outside the bench and she's like, yeah, I'm just not, you know,
I'm just not feeling that much chemistry.
I don't think this is going to be a thing that works out.
I was like, all right. Yeah.
Hello darkness, my old friend.
I've been here before.
But then she pauses, she goes,
but do you want to go upstairs and hook up?
I was like, yeah, all right.
I'll take this fucking consolation.
Wow.
I'll take this participation fucking trophy
if that's what you're doling out at this point.
And afterwards, I was like, do you wanna go again?
She goes, eh.
She was just kinda like, eh.
I like how awkward she is.
I didn't get her over the line, you know.
And I should say, you are married currently.
I'm married, yes.
I've been on one long date for five years. And how many hot dogs did it take to lock her down? I had I'm married, yes. I've been on one long date for five years.
And how many hot dogs did it take to lock her down?
I had to pull a, yes, I pulled an Oscar Meyer Wiener truck to her house.
That makes sense.
That's married material right there.
Incredible.
Bad dates.
I think we've all learned a lot of incredible lessons about how to comport ourselves in
dating and how to make it,
you know, out on the other side. And that's the pod. But, Sasheer, before we go, tell the people
where they can find you, plug anything you might want to plug. What's going on?
Yes. My socials are at the Sheer Truth, T-H-E Sheer Truth. And I have a podcast with my best
friend Nicole Byer.
And it comes out every Wednesday.
And you can get it wherever podcasts happen.
Nori, where can the people find you?
Yes, it's at Nori Reed on all the socials.
And I have some shows coming up here in LA and New York.
So please check out my Instagram.
I'll have everything posted there.
So yeah.
And lastly, Dan St. Germain, where can the people find you?
What's going on in your life?
So I have a special that's free on YouTube,
Dance Fatty Dance.
Check it out.
I think my half hour is on.
Bunch of other stand up.
But follow me on Instagram, Dan St. Germain.
I'm always bouncing around.

And follow me on all, follow me all the things.
I will have a new podcast in the fall,
Burbs Bros, myself and Sean Donnelly,
where we talk about the craziest suburban stories
that we can find.
