Bad Dates

Speed Dates.

Hello, hello, hello everybody.

This is another episode of Speed Date, the Bad Dates mini episode.

It's just a little time I get to sit down with one-on-one with a very special guest.

And today's guest is, in fact, I say this about

every guest, but I've been lying about the rest of them. This one is actually very special.

She's a legendary Emmy winning writer and sports personality from shows like Garbage Time and

always late. She has a new serious X-M podcast called Casuals. Katie Nolan, everybody. Hello, Katie.

Hi. Hi. Thank you for having me. This is so cool to be here. It's so nice to meet you.

And I should say right off the bat, I love your husband. We'll shout out to Dan Soder.

I will say this about Dan. I've been doing stand-up. We've both been in the game

for a while. I'm coming up on like 15 years now. And back in the day, when I first met Dan,

you know, it was a different time to be a gay stand-up, you know, 10 years ago than it is now.

There's a lot more of us now and the attitudes have changed.

But I will always remember Dan as somebody, as one of those boys who did not treat me any

differently than any other comic that he was in the green room with or just shooting the shit with.

And like, it was never like, there was no condescension. There was no like big dogging.

It was just I will, I'm not super close to Dan, but I will always have the most positive

memories of Dan Soder because he didn't treat me like a freak show or like, like, some sort

of like gimmick comic.

He was like, no, you're a comic just like me.
