Bad Dates

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