Speed Dates: Pan Is Sarah Lawrence (w/ Poppy Liu)

About this episode

Joel Kim Booster and guest Poppy Liu discuss their careers, dating preferences, and motherhood during a Lunar New Year celebration.

On an all-new Speed Dates episode, it’s Lunar New Year but host Joel Kim Booster and one of his best friends Poppy Liu (Hacks, iCarly, Better Call Saul) are going to push through, as they discuss their first big break as (sort of) twins on Sunnyside, Poppy’s load-bearing love of fairy smut, why she’ll only date people that are fully cooked, how her life has changed now that she’s a mom to a beautiful baby bleep, and how democracy itself chose Poppy to be Joel’s (potential) egg donor.
