Hello smarties look, I'm gonna be honest with you before I met my husband Scotty
I've been on a lot of bad dates
We've all had them and now it's time to laugh at them smart less media is doing our very first
Podcast yeah called bad dates with the amazing incredible Jamila Jamil
And are you well tell tell the listener what?
Basically what it's about beyond what the title says. It is relatively self-explanatory
It's just me and some of my favorite
Comedians and people coming on to disclose the sordid details of the
Silliest and weirdest and grossest dates they've ever had and the reason I love this subject is because it's very bonding
It never fails to ignite a conversation wherever you are
It brings bound like barriers down
But also if there's just a democracy to it because it just doesn't matter how hot you are how smart how rich how famous
No one is exempt from a shitty fucking day
but I would I would guess that you have never had a bad day because you seem to know how to
Communicate in any way possible to make it all work like you can be you can answer the questions or you can or you can ask the questions
Like yeah, there's don't only at a donor know how to do one
It comes to a standstill when I am I'm not going to say aroused
But when I'm interested all of my skills fly out the window and really like I have no way of I have no way of
receiving a sort of social cue so really you have to be inside of me for me to understand that you're interested
Given the current climate that's not appropriate
You're saying if you like the other person you start to lock up a little bit. I complete
I should I lock up and I shut down. Yeah
That's it's a problem with Charlize Theron. He can't
You don't need to go wide with that. No, she knows don't worry
She's she's aware. Well, we all have that with Charlize. They're like, have you had a favorite guest yet on bad dates at all?
I mean anybody and come to mind who could you be hinting at I don't know
So and you've been a wonderful guest
Oh, give us give us give us a taste Sean. What was your I don't want to ruin it
But it starts out with me meeting a guy in a bar with workout pants in a bar
And we're both super drunk
We go back to his place and he before we get to the goods part of the story
He asks can I do mind if I microwave a burrito really quick because we're at it. That's where they got not a euphemism
I would have loved to have said you cool if I shower real quick before we keep talking
Yeah, it was it was a real dream she almost on with Conan O'Brien. We've had Tig Notaro. We've had Nikki Glaser
Conan's been on a date
Yeah, and it was a disaster thankfully so he came on the show to talk about it
But it is just like it is quite astonishing how much I've learned about a lot of very famous people and also
Just how many people have shit their pants on a date?
I don't know if any of you have have literally shit their pants. It's it's actually like it is it's the great equalizer
The asshole is the great equalizer of humanity and I think it's been overlooked politically
We've uncovered it on the show
Fascinating I want to hear all about that. I am tuning in. Oh, by the way, you just got Jason's attention the dates and the hooking up
No, it's fine. But once you get into the short
Bowels of the story wheelhouse Sean. Am I right? Yeah. Oh, could you call the show shit show? I
Basically should but I mean there are varieties on on what we're learning on the show
But it is just I just want people out there to know that you are you are not alone
If you think you are like the stories are so wild and so funny and so absurd and we're not shitting on single life
God knows married life is fucking its own nightmare, but we're just trying to like have an intimate funny conversation about something
I think is deeply relatable my story amazingly didn't involve any shit
But I've had my own like extraordinary disaster Sean. I've told you the story before but yes
I can share it with you if you want an idea
How much disaster is out there I am I tried to have my first ever one-night stand because I've only kissed six people right
Come on doesn't but it is sadly true. I started very late, and then I I was slow on the uptake
and so I I
Thought you know what in my 30s
I'm gonna have my ho era that I've always dreamed of it's gonna happen and I I
Got the sense that I was about to have my first ever booty call a man that I'd been sort of casually going on a few days
So just hanging out with we hadn't done anything yet. He
texted me and said
Do you like shall I come over and I was like oh 11 p.m. I'm definitely going to get my first
See you can even hear what's happening to my voice just talking about it
Suddenly become like a bit more like Mary Poppins about the whole thing
Oh my god, I'm gonna get a casual shag. It's so exciting
So he turns up at my house 11 p.m. On the door walks into my apartment
I've only been a living in America for a week at this point, right? So I don't know anyone or anything and
And he takes three steps in and collapses face first on the ground and all of his front teeth
We're talking at least 12 here shoot out of his mouth
Across my entire living room. So now there is blood and teeth all over my room and he's having a seizure
So I've never seen someone have a seizure in real life before and I panic. I think he's gonna die
I call 9-1-1 which is also slightly exciting because I'm English and they call that in the movies
So I feel very Hollywood right now. I call 9-1-1. They send in the fucking police turn up the fire
The paramedics everyone comes rolling into my house. I now have about 25 men in my apartment
Which is not how I'd expected
No, not quite but close
And this man is covered in blood. He's he's he's split his chin all the way open and
And they're trying to resuscitate him. They managed to bring him to and they're like, excuse me sir
Like, you know, have you taken anything?
Do you have epilepsy and he's like, oh, I might have had some cocaine but he was like, but I always have cocaine and I was like
It's a small red flag. It's not a huge one. It's a little it was just I think the word always at his age
It felt slightly disturbing. It wasn't gonna be a short date
No, exactly. And then they were like if you take in anything else and he was going no
And he's hiding in the street like this because he's got no teeth now
Oh, and so they start putting the blanket over him to take him out and as they go past his cock
He gets a raging erection which feels inappropriate
And then I said, have you taken anything else right and he turns around and he looks directly at me
It makes full eye contact and just goes I am out of house and Viagra
Which is I might have had some Viagra
Who don't speak toothless
So that's a combination you don't want. So then you hook up. So quickly sucked him off
Yeah, he got carried out in
On a stretcher in the middle of us Hollywood of quite famous actor
So we had to put a blanket over his cock, but also one over his face
And he's just there's just like pitching a tent through West Hollywood as he gets taken to the hospital. So that was
That was my first and last attempt at a booty call and have been in a long-term relationship
Since a week from that day
I can't believe Thoreau has never told us this story
That is what can happen I know see I live for those kinds of stories and you can see
You know how everybody has one or two or five or ten of these horrible
Ask her if she's ever forgotten a line on stage, you know, yeah any weird
Hey, give me a really horrible theater story that's just a dynamic
Yeah, you have to tune into smart list for that one

So I see this this sad little kitty cat sitting on the coffee table
This is the Jeff Dahmer story
I go over to the kitty because I love cats and I'm like oh
Kitty hi kitty and I pick it up and the guy goes no no no
Don't pick up the cat
It might shit himself because it's very old and he's very sensitive and it might shit everywhere
So just just leave him alone and he's on the dinner table
Okay
He was on the coffee table next to the other of course
The cat is left over El Torrito also
I mean it's the cat's been living on whatever came back from El Torrito
So, um, we sit down for dinner. It's steak piccata, which I've never had before and wow what a what an involved recipe
I'm very impressed. It smells great. It's delicious. Okay, so now I feel like
Uh, I gotta go to the bathroom
Where's your bathroom?
Oh, it's down this long dark hallway and to just go down to the very end
And it's on the left. Okay
We're all shaking our heads violently. Okay, just a little further a little further
A little further a little further
So I go down the the dark hallway and I open the bathroom door
And I try to shut it, but it won't shut. Oh, no, but I'm like well
I'm all the way down at the end of the hallway. Oh, no. No, I'm just gonna go for it. This'll this'll be quick
That's every horror movie ever
So I'm
On the turlet. I'm doing nothing and the door opens wide open
Because little rickety cat pushed it open with his face
Walked up to me and maintaining eye contact with me shits on
the bathroom rug
Next to its litter box
Okay, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm I'm aroused
Well, of course you are how could you not be so I'm looking
At this cat and I'm looking at what the cat's doing and I'm like he's gonna think I did that
But I also don't feel like I should pick this up because I don't feel like this is my responsibility
So I'm just gonna act like it didn't happen
And let's let's finish this up because the door is wide open
Okay, and again this whole exchange took about 30 seconds, but it felt like an hour and a half
So I walk back down the dark hallway again. It's very dark in this house
And I see kitty sitting in the corner and I'm like damn it. I am gonna make friends with this cat
So I'm I'm down
On my hands and knees going kitty
Come on kitty
Little kitty. Oh sweet kitty and the guys looking at me like what are you doing?
Well, I was talking to a cat-shaped pillow
As the rickety little kitty
But again, is this an actual cat-shaped pillow because I know it's very dark a new thing is that people are stuffing their dead cats
A week later on what that was stuffing dead cat was a new thing. Okay, fine
But by the way, I'd like to point out he's on a podcast right now. You kind of you kind of cut out on me there
What did you say? I was like was it actually a pillow?
So was it you know, there's a new trend of people stuffing their cats after they find so it really was a pillow
Okay, it really was a pillow
And he saw me
Talking to this cat pillow
Then he goes down he goes down the long dark hallway to the bathroom and said, oh my god
There's shit on the carpet. I'm so sorry and I said, well, yeah
He did that right in front of me. I'm sorry. I didn't want you to think I did it
But I I didn't know what to do. So I just left it. He goes. Oh my god. I'm so embarrassed
Okay, well, all right, let's let's go back to the steak piccata. It's fine
Whatever animals do what there's what they are gonna do. All right. So we're we're eating. We're having a great conversation
all of a sudden
I'm like, okay. I gotta go. Bye
Very abruptly because I thought I was gonna shit my pants this steak piccata is not sitting well
Okay, so he's poisoning the cat is what I'm getting from this
Or he's in some really weird stuff or he's poisoning me. I don't know
It's just a buttery. There's a lot of butter in a lot of capers and it's a little yeah
Yeah, it was one of those things that makes having a caper
