And then he started to tell me what a good comedian. And then he started to tell me what a good comedian he was. And I remember thinking like, is this a joke? Do you know what I mean? Like he was New York. This is how I was, we were in L.A. At the time he was like a New York guy.

But he was like saying like, no one will ever see how great I am because I'm on the road being amazing, being incredible.

There's no industry there.

And I remember thinking like if this is a joke, this is really funny.

But if it's not, it's kind of refreshing.

Yeah. If it's not, it's kind of refreshing.

Oh, hi there.

Welcome to another episode of Bad Dates. I'm your host, Joel Kim Booster, and here at Bad Dates, it's a podcast that is exactly what it sounds like. We talk about bad dates. And dates on this podcast can mean anything from a first date to a third date, a 10-year-long marriage to a hookup,

a one-night stand.

We cast a wide net here because we find the stories are funnier when we do.

Now, before we get into my very exciting panel of guests past trauma, we at the last couple of weeks of this show have found 150 questions put together by

relationship experts that you're supposed to ask on a first date that will, I don't know,

help you get to know your partner better and maybe help you fall in love.

And this week's question is I am looking for someone to blank with. And my answer is very simple.

Before we get to the panel, my answer is I was always and forever and found someone who I can sit

in comfortable silence with. That's it. That's all I want. Because doing nothing and not having it

feel weird is such a telltale sign to me that it was so right. Now, those of you, the listeners at

home who do know my fiance, will be shocked to learn that there's ever a moment in our house

where there is comfortable silence because he loves to chat. He is like,

I can put him in front of anyone and just like a Furby. He will go. And it's great. But those

moments that we do have silence, it feels completely normal. It feels lovely. And that is what I've

always wanted and found. So I'm very, very lucky. Now, on to our panel of guests.
