    On a new episode of Bad Dates, host Joel Kim Booster welcomes Gottmik, Katherine Blanford, and Courtney Michelle to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos. Gottmik finds himself in a Bad Dates trifecta: a liar, way too many cats, and The Substance bathroom, Katherine’s date teaches her a few lessons then hits her up for a referral, and Courtney must endure frogs, forks, and fingering.

Hilarious.

Raunchy, unexpected and honest. I love Jameela, and this podcast shows a lighter side than her I Weigh podcast.
A fun listen.
