The Head Of The Deodorant: Scrubs Special! (w/ Ava Bunn, Layla Mohammadi, and Amanda Morrow)
Intimacy CoordinatorShow Notes
On an all-new panel episode, it’s all family as host Joel Kim Booster sits down with three of his co-stars from the new Scrubs reboot, the hilarious Ava Bunn, Layla Mohammadi, and Amanda Morrow to discuss their most iconic dating fiascos, beginning with a very simple icebreaker question: would the panelists date their own Scrubs character? Then, Ava wakes up unaware that she has somebody else riding shotgun, and later gets advice from ballerinas about shaving for The Groundlings, Layla has stars in her eyes but not in the good way, and Amanda needs some help with this toe sandwich situation, bro!

More from Intimacy Coordinator
What's the most masculine thing about two of drag's most decorated queens? This week, Joel Kim Booster is joined by Monét X Change (Drag Race All Stars 4 winner, The Traitors) and BenDeLaCreme (Drag Race All Stars 3, The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show) to talk about all things masculinity—from GAY-ming and bar fights, to fatherly lessons involving studs. Plus the perils of hooking up in drag, mismatched sex drives in marriage, and the little known practicality of tennis balls in pools.
It’s time for another Background Check! This week, Brooks Wheelan was on Intimacy Coordinator, so we wanted to replay the classic Bad Date story he told to Joel and fellow guests Ali Kolbert and Jared Goldstein. The original description for his story was: “Brooks can overlook the scabies, but can the scabies overlook Brooks?” and that’s still all you need to know. Enjoy revisiting this Bad (question mark?) Date, and don’t miss this week’s Intimacy Coordinator with Brooks and ace stand-up (slash his girlfriend) Katherine Blanford!
Joel puts comedy couple Brooks Wheelan and Katherine Blanford on the couch for live couples therapy, starting with the eggs Brooks ate, the all-caps text Katherine sent about it, and why laughing at that text was not the move.
Danielle Perez was on Intimacy Coordinator this week, so it’s time for another Background Check! Join us as we revisit two hilarious and harrowing tales that Danielle told Joel and fellow guests Bonnie McFarlane and James Tom back in the Bad Dates era! First off, this man is simply too close and his lips have not been deemed ADA accessible, and in the second story her date goes full Shark Week. Catch up with Danielle’s tales from the trenches, and don’t miss this week’s Intimacy Coordinator with Danielle, Tien Tran, and Solomon Georgio!
Joel Kim Booster convenes a panel of (at least) double minorities — Danielle Perez, Solomon Georgio, and Tien Tran — to dig into how intersectional identities shape who we date, who we marry, and who keeps asking us to role-play. The panel trades the backhanded compliments they took as wins, sheepishly admits to dating white people, and unpacks the bedroom requests that went too far, from a breaking-and-entering fantasy to a "spicy Latina" audition. Plus: the fight that ended with Joel totaling his car, and advice for a 60-year-old listener wondering just how age-appropriate she has to be.
