Bad dates.

Speed dates.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another edition of Bad Dates, the podcast Speed Dating

Edition.

If you're just joining us for the very first time, you may not know that bad dates normally

is a panel show where I ask a bunch of comedians to tell me

stories of bad dates. But today is a speed date episode, which is a little bit different because

I sit down with just one guest and we get a little deeper. You know, not just bad date stories,

but the full story of their love lives and beyond. And my guest today is very exciting as a writer,

podcaster, and as her website says, The Comedian Who Ever Lived. She co-hosts the podcast, Two Dikes

and a Mike, and you can stream her comedy special Gay Fantasy on Amazon Prime and Apple TV,

and you can see her on tour with Two Dikes and a Mike, and on her A BitMuch tour. It's Rachel Scanlon, everybody. Yay! And we should, I should specify, the BitMuch tour is a stand-up tour. Yes. Yes. So you have two ways to consume her, either if you're a podcasting girly or if you're a stand-up girlie or if you're

verse.

Exactly.

You know, you can do both. You can flip. You can definitely flip. You can try one and then go, actually, I need something completely different. And then there I am doing stand-up. Exactly. If you want to be topped, I do stand-up. If you want to be bottomed, I do podcasting as well. Exactly.

Because let's be honest, if you're podcasting, you're bottoming. You're bottoming for life. 100%. Rachel, how are you? I'm so good. Yeah. I'm feeling happy. Whenever I'm here, I'm reminded that next door, that woman made my wedding rings for me and my wife. Wait, what? Across the street from here. Oh, I thought you meant in another studio in the serious X-M-Bilding, and I was like, what podcast were you on that someone made wedding rings for you and your wife? Next door, across the street. Do you want to plug? Lizzie Manler. Yeah. Busy Manler? Lizzie Manler. Oh, Busy Manler. I was like, that is a bad drag name if I've ever heard one. Busy Manler.

Lizzie Manler. Oh, Busy Manler. I was like, that is a bad drag name if I've ever heard one. Busy Manler. Lizzie Manler. Okay, so the last name still reads as a little draggy. Yes. Right across the street premiere. She's like really good. And show the ring. Podcasting is visual medium. Zoom in. Zoom. Get a good shot of it for Lizzie Manler.

Wait, this is not my show watch.

This is my running watch. So I'm taking that off. Do you see the ring? Do you see it? We love it. How long have you guys been together? Seven and a half years? Seven and a half. Wow. Can you believe? That is a long time. I've always said like everything around between seven and ten years

for me right now is feel so strange because two years don't count right two years two full years

don't count because of the pandemic that got completely just washed away none of that counts so

anything that's seven to ten years is actually five to seven years.
