Nightmare to Date (w/ Adam Conover, Allison Raskin, & Dewayne Perkins)

This week gets spirited as Joel Kim Booster is joined by Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything, Big Divorce Energy), Dewayne Perkins, (The Studio, The Blackening) and relationship coach and author, Allison Raskin (Compulsively Yours, I Do (I Think)). They confess all the ways they’ve been nightmares to date—from Allison staking out a guy's apartment behind a frat house, to Joel blaming every unanswered text on a man's "text rhythm”—before getting into a lively debate on whether or not you should date with a goal in mind, and the morality of ghosting. Plus, a listener asks whether testing her new boyfriend counts as due diligence or sabotage.
