Bad dates.
A friend of mine just went to Burgheim,
the sex club in Berlin for the first time.
Oh yes.
And he accidentally went on piss night
and he didn't know and he's not into that.
And he was complaining to me because he was like,
I went into the urinals to try and pee
and this guy was just like kneeling by one of the urinals
and he was, it was so creepy and he wanted me to pee on him
and I was like so freaked out, I just peed in the urinal
and I was like, dude, it means nothing to you.
It means everything to him.
Just pee on him.
Hello, hello, hello.
And welcome to another episode of Bad Dates.
I'm your host, Joel Kim Booster.
And yeah, I sound a little sick.
But I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of Bad Dates.
I'm your host, Joel Kim Booster.
And yeah, I sound a little sexier than normal today,
and that is because I had a good weekend,
not like a fucking nerd like some of my guests today
who have incredibly sultry sounding voices.
You're just going to have to deal with it today, guys.
You're going to have to deal with it today, guys. You're gonna have to deal with it.
This is how I sound like today.
And it may not sound quality-wise incredible,
but the content is fire, as always, I promise you.
So, as some of you may know, this is Bad Dates,
brought to you by SmartLiz Media.
And today, we're gonna bring you yet another panel
of incredible guests who are gonna share
some of their worst dating stories with you.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, and hopefully you'll learn.
Before we dive into that,
I do have a little bit of listener mailed,
somebody who is in need of some advice.
This email is from Sophie.
Bad dates.
I just had a first date with a guy who I was really into. We ended up back in my place
where we had sex for about half an hour. It was like a crossfit workout and we were both drenched
in sweat. I came really close to an orgasm but we stopped after he came. Not ideal but I still had
a really good time. Then as we were cuddling afterward, he asked me how I would rate it from a scale of 1 to 10.
I asked him to answer and he said no, you first. I said it was a 9 because I did actually enjoy it.
He said, huh, I would say it was about a 7 plus. The fuck? After I said 9? And what the hell is the
plus about? Am I being graded? I was into him until the seven plus bullshit.
I can't get over it.
And I have been ghosting him ever since.
What do you think?
I have a lot of thoughts here, Sophie.
I really do.
I think this speaks volumes about the sort of collective trauma
that straight women has been put through in this country.
I'd like to co-sign that this country. And maybe even the world over.
Because the fact that you didn't come
and you still gave him a nine,
what curve are we grading on here, Sophie?
You need to respect yourself.
And if ever given the opportunity to grade a man again,
when you have not come,
it needs to be a failing grade, my friend.
Okay? Because listen, I understand that it's not always about the orgasm and the journey, Again, when you have not come, it needs to be a failing grade, my friend, okay?
Because listen, I understand that it's not always
about the orgasm and the journey, not the destination,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But on the first date,
if you're having acrobatic athletic sex,
why are you sweating and not coming?
This is an injustice.
And you should have immediately revoked your
grade when he said seven plus and downgraded him immediately. I think ghosting is perfectly
appropriate because this man is a sociopath. I don't know what the plus means. I don't
know what sort of extra credit activity you gave him in terms of your body and your sex,
but the plus is creepy. And I think you need to run.
And I think ghosting is in fact,
the nicest thing you could do in this situation.
But I'm not the only person weighing in here today.
I again, as previously mentioned,
have a panel of incredibly funny guests today.
And I'm so excited about all of them.
This first one, he's so funny.
I've traveled the world with him.
I've seen the man hold a koala bear,
which is, you know, disgusting.
I don't hold it against him, though.
Please welcome Sean Patton, comedian currently performing
on the Material Tour,
and his special number one is streaming on Peacock.
Hello, Sean.
Hi, how are you?
I am, you know, alive.
We also have Chelsea Devantes and Emmy nominated writer
and comedian, host of the podcast Glamorous Trash,
whose new book, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This,
but I'm Going To Anyway, is out now.
Hi Chelsea. Hi.
I have to tell you, if this happened to me,
I would have been like,
oh, I thought we were grading our own performances.
So I gave myself a nine.
So smart.
That was classic nagging.
And finally, we have a legend in the studio with us today.
Truly someone that has been making me laugh
since I was in my 30s, way back then, those days.
He is so funny and such an inspiration.
Please welcome Scott Thompson, actor, author, and comedian
from the legendary sketch group, Kids in the Hall.
Hello, Scott.
Hello, everyone.
You know, I was just thinking,
I should start having sex with women
because their standards are so low.
And I'm at that age when I don't wanna be rated.
So I think that if I started fucking women again,
I might start, you know, getting better reviews.
Women again?
Oh, I used to when I was young.
No, but just the way you said again.
Oh, you're mocking my accent.
Oh, not my history of heterosexuality.
No, no, no. We totally believe that.
I'm gonna start fucking women, Justin.
I'm a virgin, so this is great for me.
Have you, have any of you ever been asked this before?
What?
Like some sort of grading scale?
A hundred percent.
Wait, this isn't happening with other people?
That's so crazy, Chelsea.
Because that is, that is active shooter behavior.
Yeah, well, it's also comedian behavior active shooter behavior. If someone is doing that, you need to run.
It's also comedian behavior.
So when you fuck around with comedians,
they have just really crushingly low self-esteem
and they want to be rated.
Oh, have you had sex,
do you have sex with a lot of comedians, Chelsea?
Which is very sad for me.
I did, now I've locked it down with one.
You know what?
I did live out the like straight male standup road dog dream
live out the like straight male standup road dog dream,
way back when where I fucked my opener once in Indiana.
And- Wow, good for you. Yeah, no, it was beautiful.
I felt so powerful.
I felt like, I don't know.
Mentor. I felt like John Mulaney,
you know, it was incredible.
I was larping.
I feel that I could fuck John Mulaney. You know what?
I do.
He gives gayer vibes than me and I find it really unfair.
I think you could have at a time, but not now that he's sober.
Now that he's sober?
I should have gone for him when he was doing coke, right?
Exactly.
Bad Dates
Bad Dates
Sean, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. At Dates. Sean Hatton, you're up first.
Take it away.
So the story I want to tell happened 19 years ago in the late summer in New Orleans, Louisiana. I was a young comic open mic'er,
and one of my fellow open mic'ers
was a full-time strip club DJ.
So, yeah, so he had that like, you know,
that perfect voice for like, ladies and gentlemen,
oh shit, rip out your ralettes, here comes,
Lady Macbeth, you know, he had that like.
That's a good stripper.
Wait, there's a stripper named Lady Macbeth? Like know, he had that. That's a good stripper. Wait, there's a stripper named Lady Macbeth?
Like, let's all go.
Yeah, I'm there for it.
All of these strippers would come to this one open mic
every Tuesday in New Orleans
at a place called True Brew Cafe, which no longer exists.
Point being, there would be
all of these off-duty strippers there.
And they would hang out afterwards and buy drinks
because in a city like New Orleans
back then, they made really great money. And I asked one of them out, her name was Marguerite.
And I remember I asked her out for the sole purpose of knowing she was going to say no,
because the young comic mindset where you're like, I have to just destroy any semblance of a happy
life in order to be funny in the first place, correct? Do it for the bit.
Right.
So I'm going to ask her out.
She's going to say no.
My 24 year old self, I'm going to be humiliated and I'll write a bit about it.
Get funnier.
Right.
Exactly.
And I'm going to get so fucking funny she's going to rue the day.
Oh, she's going to just, she's going to say no, it's going to hurt so bad, but God is
it going to kill.
But she said yes, surprisingly so.
And we met up the next night at a bar
and started having drinks.
And it was one of those like almost immediately,
she was a red flag, almost immediately,
someone's like presenting themselves as,
oh, you're gonna be, this is gonna get weird
because she shook my hand, then looked at my finger
and then bit it just a little too hard.
Right?
Right.
This is within like, like, hey, what's up?
Hey, what's up, Marguerite?
And I did like the hand, then the hug.
Then when I, when we came away, she still had my hand.
She looks at my face and says,
this is a cute little pudgy finger.
And just bit it just a little too hard.
In her defense, you do have tasty little thingies.
I do, right?
Yeah. God, also like, I bet that had worked so many other times
and she's just got the one guy.
Like, so many other guys were probably like,
I'm going to buy you a car.
And you were like, ew.
There is an assumption there.
It's like, oh, look at me put something of yours in my mouth.
Oh, yeah.
Cosmo told me to do that 16 different ways every issue.
And then just have his finger fall in your mouth
and he'll think it's like you're sucking his dick.
Yeah, and whichever finger you bite,
that's the result you're gonna get.
Yeah, and call it pudgy, he'll love it.
Dude, but I remember this, she was drinking chartreuse,
which is a drink I think, you know, what is it?
Fermented specifically for people who want to die of
alcoholism.
It's a harsh, harsh beverage.
But we went, we bar hopped around and it was the kind of thing where every bar we went
to she either knew no one and got bored immediately or knew too many people and we had to leave.
Another it was just like this constant like, all right, she hangs out a lot, but she was kind of fun.
You know, the kind of person who, you know,
would say insanely crazy shit, but being a comedian,
it was like, sure, I can hang with this all night.
I want to hear how far this goes.
Let's go, let's keep going down the rabbit hole.
And then we get to this one bar,
which was my one suggestion of the night.
I was like, hey, let's go to the Circle Bar.
We're nearby, it's a bar that still exists in New Orleans.
Let's go there.
We get there.
They didn't serve chertreuse.
They didn't have it there.
And she suddenly decided that I was in cahoots
with people in her life who had told her before numerous times
that she had a drinking problem.
Oh, you were in intervention.
Yes.
She had decided that, oh, so who have you talked to?
And I was like, I haven't talked to what?
And she was suddenly like, you brought me here
because they don't have my drink of choice.
Hmm, coincidental.
I was like, yeah, massively coincidental.
What the fuck are you talking about?
And then it became this thing
where now everyone in the bar was in some way involved
in this intervention that didn't exist,
but we had all somehow heard from people in her life
that she never really pointed out who they were,
that we all knew she had a drinking issue, a problem.
And because they didn't serve the drink,
the only thing she drank, now she couldn't drink.
Wow, how fucking convenient was that?
You fuck, and then all of a sudden the slurs came out. Think of a racial slur.
She said it out loud at full volume.
Did she call you a dirty Mick?
She, she, no, she called me a fatty a lot.
Yeah. And I wasn't, and I was like way less buddy. She, I mean,
she was making up. She was, she called someone a donkey crotch,
which I was like, that's, I've never heard a donkey crotch before.
I'm putting that in my back pocket.
Honestly, it sounds a little bit like a compliment.
Right, yeah.
Donkey dick, that's a good thing.
Yeah, maybe, but she was like-
Well, unless she was talking about donkey balls.
Or a woman donkey.
Yeah, it could be a donkey vagina.
No one wants to be, yeah, you're right.
No one wants to be called a donkey's wife.
You never know, that sounds sturdy to me.
Who knows, I don't know much about donkey vaginas,
but you never know. You never know, that sounds sturdy to me. Who knows, I don't know much about donkey vaginas, but you never know.
You've never heard of a,
doesn't wanna be known for a big vagina, do they?
But maybe it's like a little teeny tiny donkey vagina.
Wouldn't it be a tiny tight little, like mini donkey pussy?
A big sloppy donkey pussy?
Like a Shetland puss.
Oh my God.
Who was also working at the club that night,
by the way, Shetland puss. Oh my God. Who was also working at the club that night, by the way, Shetland puss.
We get asked to leave and then eventually pushed, we get kicked out of the bar.
And then get the cops called on us.
Boston? The whole city?
No, just the one button. That would be insane.
Oh, if I said Boston.
I wish. No. You're out of the entire fucking city.
The mayor came.
This is the mayor.
They tar and feather you. Out you go.
Yeah, if they were kicking people out of New Orleans
who were using racial slurs,
the city would be empty.
There'd be 70% of the city out.
Well, also the idea that we bar hopped so hard
that we ended up in Boston.
No, honestly, just when I look at you
with the Irish shirt and the face,
I keep thinking you're in Boston
and every story is Boston.
It's like you're pulling a margarita right now.
I know, right?
Yeah.
Are you biting?
You want a bite, Scott?
You're so fond of them.
There you go, buddy.
But yeah, we get kicked out.
We get the cops called on us, which is very rare.
We're underneath an underpass under the I-10,
hiding from the police.
Now, of course, she's in a perfect mood.
She's, oh, that was all a joke, of course. No, I was just fucking around, whatever. Incredible bit, yeah. Right Now of course she's in a perfect mood. She's, oh that was all a joke, of course.
No, I was just fucking around, whatever.
Incredible bit, yeah.
Right, of course.
And now we're underneath the overpass
and we start, we make out, we start making out
and I'm like, oh, this is going a completely
different direction than I thought.
And then I checked around just to make sure we were like,
safe, cause the underpass in New Orleans,
there's a lot of homeless, it's a homeless I can't it was back then it is now still I was just
like wait well let's just make sure we're not and she took me looking around
as oh I'm not good enough for you oh you can find someone else beside me and then
she starts focusing all her range on her rage rage it's rage now and she's
yelling shouting horrendous things.
She's like, are you looking around for one of my sisters?
Are you looking around for the rest of my family?
Then she took my hand, has to say goodbye.
She was like, you know what?
This is done, bye.
And we shake hands for a second.
And then she looks at my finger again
and then bites me again
harder, draws blood. Like hard. Do I have to be like hey hey hey and like
physically like get my finger out of her mouth. Take a newspaper and sort of bang her on the nose.
If I had one, if I had one I would have and then I should have. There probably
were nearby newspapers covered, like one covered in good hobo urine too,
that have watered her off.
It hurt and there was blood.
And I had a moment of like, you just fucking bit me.
And her reaction to that was to then put a curse
on the entire city of New Orleans.
Because I forgot to mention this,
she was half Asian, half Floridian,
also really into crystals and a self-proclaimed wish.
So in that moment, she decided she not only hated me,
she hated the entire city.
The entire city.
Was this pre-Katrina?
I mean, we were all thinking it.
We were all thinking it.
That's what I was about to say.
First of all, I went home that night and was convinced,
like, wait, I was bitten by a,
I should do something about this.
I shouldn't just not take care,
I shouldn't just put a bandaid on this.
What if I turned into a stripper
now that I've been bitten by one?
When I went back, like my plan was the next week
to be like, hey buddy, how, Marguerite, what the fuck?
But you guys kinda already beat me there.
By the time, that never happened
because the very next week, Katrina hit.
The next week? The very next week. Like, she put a curse on the very next week Katrina hit. The next week?
The very next week.
Like she put a curse on the city and within four days,
it was pure chaos.
So Katrina might be my fault is my point here.
That's like punishing the whole class
for one person cheating.
That's so...
If I just took her to a bar that served chartreuse,
we might've escaped that tragedy.
It would've turned out a lot different.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
That is far more than just a bad date.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is a historical collision.
I wonder if a stripper is behind every major historical catastrophe in the past.
Who pissed off a stripper before Hiroshima?
You know?
Like, I just, you gotta wonder now.
So Sean, I guess, what is the takeaway here?
What's the red flag lesson?
What rule did you put in place for yourself
to avoid situations like this in the future
after that date?
If anyone bites you within the first minute
of an encounter, walk away.
That is primo, primo advice.
Primo advice. Unless that's what you want.
You either want to be bitten and that's why you're showing up or get the fuck out of there.
This could have saved a lot of people who dated Armie Hammer.
Yeah.
Bad dates.
Bad dates.
Chelsea Devantes. Give us the context. Give us the lowdown. What's the deal?
I'm chatting with this guy and I'm in a place where I'm like, no more comedians. Like I
can't like, these are bad for me. Got to date a non comedian. He's a non comedian. Have
you ever had that thing on an app where you're like chatting with someone, you're like, oh my God, I think this is gonna be a person
I'm really dating, like this chat is amazing.
Instagram, I've had that.
Instagram.
Instagram.
Never right.
The apps, they allow you to fill in so many blanks
with your own imagination.
And so you can, you know, like they're giving you
like sort of a list of things to start with,
and then from there, you can just sort of imagine
all of the other things about them.
Yes, yes, and you're always rounding up for some reason,
because you're putting yourself through the app experience.
You're like, it'll be okay.
So anyway, so I'm like, oh my God, this guy's so funny,
so smart, so witty, like, I can't wait for this date.
I go and meet him at the bar, Okay, so I'm like, oh my God, this guy's so funny, so smart, so witty, like I can't wait for this date
and go and meet him at the bar.
And like within 1.5 seconds, it's just like, no.
No, never, I wouldn't even wanna work next to you
in a cubicle.
I don't even.
That quick?
That quick, yeah.
Yes, because this is also the fundamental problem
with the app sometimes is there is no substitute
for that in-person chemistry. Like you cannot read what the in-person,
like, pheromone, like, physical, you know,
just the way they hold themselves, you know, everything.
I'm obsessed now with this moment of, like, you so excited,
and this guy's just like, like,
-"Hey, good to see you." -"Yeah, exactly."
Like, just like, oh, my God, it's you, you're so fucking hot.
Well, it's like auditions.
They say that the casting director decides
within the first 15 to 30 seconds,
if you're right for the part.
Like it doesn't, you don't have to get through
the whole monologue. And that is so true.
So true.
And I think they're like, oh, girls know
within the first day, I'm gonna say first 30 seconds.
Same like casting.
I feel like you kinda are like, but then you've shown up, you're like, oh, girls know within the first day, I'm gonna say first 30 seconds, same like casting. I feel like you kind of are like,
but then you've shown up, you're like,
well, I'm at least in this for an hour out of politeness.
I wish I would have just been like, hey,
and then just turned and just turned and walked away.
But no, no, I was definitely in the phase of that girl
who was like, you get a nine.
So I go and I sit down with him
and I just thought like, I'm just gonna make it,
you know, make it through one drink and then we'll go.
And it's just so excruciating that finally I say to him,
and he's, I'm like, he's having a bad time.
I'm having a bad time.
Like, this is just bad.
So finally I say, hey, I'm gonna free both of us up.
Let's just call it here.
Like, it's okay.
And he's like, yeah, because I got to tell you,
you are the Hitler of dating.
What?
Hitler.
Yes.
And I was like.
How many Jews did you kill during the date?
Well, and that was, you know, the whole train ride there.
That was my activity, and I let him know about it.
The whole train ride?
Not great.
That's, yeah. No, what I think it. No, I, I. The whole train ride? The train, not great, that's, yeah.
No, what I think, what I think he was saying, Chelsea,
is that you had a lot of good ideas,
but you just, you know, the one glaring problem.
I think what he was trying to say was
he wanted you to poop on his chest.
Because that's what.
Was that a Hitler thing?
Yes, so I think that's why.
Oh, okay, I thought it was that he just,
he really loved your painting
and wanted you to keep doing it.
Yeah, right, I had been sensing him in my paintings.
No, so right as he says this,
and listen, I'm also like, I wanna be good at dating,
so I'm like crushed, you know what I mean?
It's like, well, I hate you, but I wanted you to,
I don't know, pine for me forever.
I didn't know it was that bad.
And so right then the waitress comes over and she's like, another? And I was like, but I wanted you to, I don't know, pine for me forever. I didn't know I was that bad. And so right then the waitress comes over
and she's like, another?
And I was like, no, we're good.
And he's like, what?
No, please, please, please just stay, please.
We'll have another round.
We'll have another round.
And I was like, what?
So she's like, um.
And he's like, yeah, another round.
She walks away and I'm like,
you just called me the Hitler of dating.
He's like, yeah, because you're a comedian
and I'm being funny for you.
Oh God. I hate this guy. I'm being funny for you. Oh God.
I hate this guy.
I hate this guy right now.
I know.
I was like, oh no.
And I was like, well, I, okay.
I didn't think that was funny.
And I was, I meant it when I said I was having a bad time.
I wasn't like doing a bit with you.
I was saying, let's end this date.
And he's like, no, no, please, please give me another chance.
What's your first childhood memory?
Pfft.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
And don't please tell me you didn't tell him.
Straight out of a book, straight out of an insecurity book
of like questions you can ask women on a date
that make them wanna fuck you,
ask them about their first childhood memory.
No, this does sound like pickup artist adjacent.
Like he was nagging you with the Hitler joke.
Yeah, yeah.
And then, yeah.
He'd just taken like all the wrong lessons from the book
and was like, why isn't she submissive?
Why isn't she coming to my seduction?
May I ask something?
Yes.
What is nagging?
It's when a guy sort of insults you
with the intent to get you to be like, oh no, like
now I need your approval even more, you know?
Like I once had a guy come up to me, I was at High Top in WeHo, which is like a bar,
a sports bar that has food, and I was eating a salad standing up and he came up to me trying
to hit on me and said, wow, you really don't eat that salad confidently.
And I was like, new insecurity just dropped
because I did not even realize there was a wrong way
to eat a salad.
And then he proceeded to try and hit on me.
And it's like that kind of tactic that again,
was pioneered by these like pickup artists to say like,
women will seek your approval if you tell them
that they are not good enough for you
in some way or another.
Yeah, like, well, you're pretty cute for a brunette.
I normally go for blonde.
Oh, the idea that women like men,
they're turned up and men that treat them like shit.
Is that, is that? Yes, yes.
Yeah, and they'll want to prove themselves for daddy.
Yeah. Ah, okay.
Daddy love me.
No, I was, so I wasn't into it.
We make it painfully, excruciatingly.
I make it through like 19 more of these questions
he's memorized.
I've made it to the end of the second drink
and I'm like, let's call this, let's call this.
And we get outside and he's like,
I can't remember what happened,
but I'm trying to be like, whatever way you're going,
I'm going the other way.
And he like gets me out of it.
He's like, actually me too.
So now we're both walking towards the L.
I just remember it was the brown line.
And he was like, I'm taking the L on the brown line.
I'm like, oh, funny, not me.
Like I'd rather fucking walk eight hours.
We're walking beside each other.
And he was taller than me.
And he was like, you know, kind of a bigger guy.
And just we're walking in silence and I'm just like,
we just gotta make it to the transition.
He grabs both of my shoulders like quickly,
but like the way where your arms are like pinned.
Oh my God.
And goes to like move me quickly.
I scream at the top of my lungs, rape!
As you absolutely should. Which like I'm so proud of myself. Like I made it to the moment and I'm like, I scream at the top of my lungs, rape!
As you absolutely should.
Which I'm so proud of myself.
Like I made it to the moment and I like, I did it.
Like, you know what, you always get worried,
you're not going to be able to scream.
And I was like, rape!
Yeah.
He then released his knee,
starts clapping in my face.
He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I was trying to be romantic.
I was going to dip you into a kiss.
I was going to dip you into a kiss.
Oh my God.
Stop screaming, stop screaming, stop screaming. And I was like, what? And he was like, I was trying to be romantic. I was gonna dip you into a kiss. I was gonna dip you into a kiss. Stop screaming, stop screaming, stop screaming.
And I was like, what?
And he was like, I was gonna get you to change your minds.
I was gonna dip you into a kiss because women like that.
And I was like, don't touch me.
This is honestly horrific.
I know.
Anyways, we keep walking to the train station
and he's like, will you at least give me another chance? And I was like, here's the thing,
I'm a people pleasing little motherfucking bitch.
So when you hear that I'm like, no, no, like it is,
he's gone so far because normally I would be like,
oh yeah, like, let me see.
Yeah, and then, and that was it.
And then years later-
Oh, thank God.
Thank God we're gonna find him.
His picture showed up on like an all women's Facebook group
of like, don't date this guy.
Oh, thank God there was a Yelp review to warn people off.
I know, right?
Can you maybe just look him up on Instagram right now?
I wanna see where he's at.
I wish I could remember,
I wish I could remember his name.
Yeah, I wanna know which prison he's in right now.
We'll be right back.
Bad Dates
So finally, last but certainly, certainly not least,
Scott Thompson, I just, I know for a fact that you are a survivor.
I've had lots of bad dates biters you were survivor like myself
because you know, we've heard two
heterosexual bad date stories, but I'm not gonna say it's worse for us, but oh it's much worse for me
No, we win my generation wins. Oh, absolutely. No contest. I respect the people who came before
years ago when I was like a tart,
and a bunch of my friends went to Fort Lauderdale
on a dirty week, which is what you do up here.
Is there a clean week in Fort Lauderdale?
No, no, no.
Oh, especially then, oh, everything was just filthy.
And we went there and we went to a bar and I had I met
this man, an older man, who's probably young, younger than I
am now, this is the my karma. And he took a shine to me. And
then but I didn't I was I don't know, it was a bit of a tease.
So I said, No, no, I don't want I didn't I wasn't ready. I
thought tomorrow maybe he I said he wanted to take me for a very expensive meal.
So he was a rich man.
So the next day he arranged to pick me up
and take me for dinner.
And he spent a lot of money on me.
And then he took me back to his beautiful apartment.
And he was, I guess he was expecting something.
And we started making out.
And then I don't know what it was.
I just decided, it wasn't working for me.
And-
Yeah, it was the Chelsea,
it took you a little bit longer than Chelsea,
but it was a similar thing.
Because I think the whole time I was thinking,
he's such a handsome man and he's rich,
and he's treating me like gold, and I should-
Those are all the qualities.
I should wanna sleep with him,
and everybody says he's so handsome,
and I go, I know,, I don't like handsome.
And so I, and it was, I, I had a little self-esteem.
So I actually was able to say, you know what?
This isn't working for me.
And I was quite drunk and that allowed me to do that.
So anyways, it was early enough that I could go back
to the bar where my buddies were waiting for me.
So I went back to the bar and we continued to drink.
And I'd already, you know, I was, you know,
we had a beautiful meal and I was telling them my story.
Then he came back to the bar
and then he took a shine to one of my other friends.
And then they started flirting.
And then my friend, like my best friend,
went home with him.
Wait, this isn't a Harry met Sally situation.
And then when he did, the same thing happened.
They started making out and my friend said,
it's not working for me.
And then he came back to the bar to tell me.
So two of us, we were like, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell,
like two tarts who just cuckolded some billionaire.
Was he a bad kisser?
No, and he's super handsome and he had like a title
and he was like, he was like a Mayflower kind of guy.
And he had everything.
Oh yeah, I love it when they're fresh off the boat.
And I just-
Or not so fresh off the boat.
My friend.
Yeah, wait, I do know, I wanna know what Mayflower,
what's a Mayflower guy?
Like a pilgrim.
Is this like a financial?
A pilgrim.
Oh, a pilgrim.
Like one of those Americans that have been there forever.
A colonizer, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of those people who loves to be like,
we were here first for getting, you know.
A Vanderbilt type, you know.
But it was just like, I just thought it was so funny
because the two of us, my friend would have slept with them.
He wanted to, but I actually think that he couldn't
because I think he puked.
I think he actually puked, to make it worse,
he puked in his beautiful apartment.
So-
Wait, your friend puked or the-
My friend.
The pilgrim.
And then he came back.
And then, so then we had to like see him out at the bar
the whole week we were there.
And he's never forgiven it. And then on top of it all, and then we had to see him out at the bars the whole week we were there.
And he's never forgiven it.
And then on top of it all, I took his name
and the way he talked and I created a character out of him.
Oh my God.
I'm the worst.
I'm the worst.
Wait, exact name or like rhyming name?
Like close enough or like exactly?
Almost exactly.
Wow, and I stole his identity and just completely.
And then ridiculed him.
His name was Scott Thompson and I'm not really.
It's horrible, it's a horrible story, I know.
No, it's hilarious.
That would be funnier if you got all of your friends
to just hook up with this guy in the last minute and go,
nah.
It would have been great, he should have gone through all,
there were four of us, he should have gone through all four of us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the town bicycle.
We drove all the way down from Canada
to cuck this poor billionaire.
I love the reverse bachelor sort of situation
where it's like, he's presumably in the position of power.
But all the contestants.
But you know, Joel, that in the gay world,
it's the opposite.
The dumbest stupidest can be much more powerful
than the most rich, the most powerful,
the most accomplished.
If you're dumb and you're stupid and you're handsome
and you have a big dick, you are more important than
Elon Musk.
Yeah, it doesn't matter what's going on
in your bank account.
You can be a complete sociopath and have a big dick,
and that is the currency that will get you through.
No, no.
So it is the exact same with heterosexuals and women.
Young, dumb, hot, far more powerful than a man
who's like, I've got good investments.
That's what I mean,
but I was referring to heterosexual men.
Mm, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like there is something.
Because women do go for money and power and all that,
but gay men do not.
Gay men, still men.
Generally, they go for, like all men,
what they wanna fuck.
What makes you heart?
That big old donkey crotch.
Donkey crotch.
And did you continue, oh, so you were visiting though,
you never had to see this man again.
Just visiting, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I guess my question is,
it was funny, because I was about to say,
at least in this story, you know, in
Sean and Chelsea's story, there is a clear villain, you know, and a hero.
And I was about to say there were no villains in your story.
It just happened the way it happened until you decided to monetize his trauma for your
gain.
And I do love on this podcast when the person telling this story does end up
being the villain of their own story.
Well, I own up to it.
Yeah. Yes, you do.
I do own up to my young villainy,
you know, when I could get away with it.
And it is fun to find out the origin of Buddy Cole,
you know?
Yes, you're right about that.
You are right about that.
That is great. I love that. You are right about that.
That is great. I love that.
I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it.
Like I did. But my friend, he's the real villain.
He's the real villain.
Yeah. He threw up in his apartment.
Come on. He could have avoided that.
Yes, absolutely.
Or the guy's into barfing. We don't know.
There could be a whole new kink out there.
New kink unlocked, as one would say.
I love that he returned to the scene of the crime
to just like, thinking,
I can get one of those other young Canadian bucks.
And yeah.
What is the rule that you put into place
for yourself after this date?
If any.
I never go back to Fort Lauderdale.
Yeah. Oh, and that I think is a good rule for everyone.
A good rule for everyone.
Bad dates.
You guys, that was bad dates.
These were, I learned so many important things
from all of our collective trauma.
I really appreciate you all coming on.
Sean, where can the people find you?
