Hey, SmartList listeners, it's Sean Hayes with some exciting news. One of our SmartList Media shows is back with a brand new host. I'm talking about the one and only Bad Dates. And for season two, it's hosted by the hilarious Joel Kim Booster. You might know Joel from Apple TV's Loot, Hulu's Fire Island, his Netflix comedy special, or his very revealing guest role on HBO's Industry.
This season, he'll be your guide through all of the iconic and painfully true bad date stories that his guests reveal with all the gory details you loved in season one. And we'll still hear real letters and voice messages from listeners sharing their own worst dates. Plus, Joel will weigh in about his own lengthy and bizarre time in the dating trenches.
We love the show because everybody has had them. Everybody can relate to them. And now it's time to laugh at them on season two of Bad Dates with your new host, Joel Kim Booster. Check out this clip from the show and follow Bad Dates wherever you get your podcasts.
And now the very funny Justin Martindale.
So it was a nice summer evening. This was probably about like almost, I want to say 10 years ago. Oh, wow. A child.
You were a baby.
No, I'll say like seven. I still am. So I went to the show, it was a show here in LA and I met this guy and the lighting was just good. And I was very inebriated and we were talking, we kind of hit it off. We started making out. And then we exchanged numbers. And he was living in New York. I was in L.A. So we were like, we're going to just do this bi-coastal, long-distance fantasy.
And one day, if destiny allows us, we will meet up again, right? We started talking regularly on the phone. And this was kind of before FaceTime kind of took off. So we were just like talking and flirting and, you know, he started talking about, like, so when are you going to come to New York? And I'll make this, like, great weekend for us. And I'm like, okay, sure, yeah, let's make it happen.
So finally, I want to say, like, November, maybe, like, a couple days before Thanksgiving, I... Got a flight, went out to New York, and I'm waiting at the airport for him to pick me up. He shows up and I'm like, I don't know this person. Like, he didn't look like the guy that I had seen that night. Of course, it was blurry and shadowy, but I was like, oh, no.
