Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer

Olympic figure skater <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adaripp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Adam Rippon</a> (Winner of Dancing with the Stars) joins Nicole to share the dating life of a Olympian. He shares what it was like being one of the first openly gay U.S. Olympians, why the infamous Olympic condoms left him disappointed, and what the sex life in the Olympic Village is really like. He also breaks down for Nicole exactly what it takes to become an Olympian, and the incestuous nature of figure skaters. Meanwhile, Nicole and her boyfriend take a vacation where he gets to witness her true colors for the very first time.Check out Adam's podcast - <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/intrusive-thoughts-by-adam-rippon/id1791727166" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon</a>.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:»&nbsp;<a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/sorry-i-missed-this" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sorry I Missed This</a>:&nbsp;Search for “Sorry I Missed This” in your favourite podcast app! <a href="https://lnk.to/sorryimissedthisPS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lnk.to/sorryimissedthisPS</a>»&nbsp;<a href="http://OSEAMalibu.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OSEA</a>: Get 10% off your first order sitewide with code DATEME at&nbsp;<a href="http://oseamalibu.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OSEAMalibu.com</a>View all of our sponsors and discounts codes at&nbsp;<a href="https://wwydm.notion.site/sponsors?pvs=4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wwydm.notion.site/sponsors</a>.Follow:Tour Dates:&nbsp;<a href="http://linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastaken" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastaken</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>TikTok:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@whywontyoudatemepod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@whywontyoudatemepod</a>&nbsp;Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolebyer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolebyer</a>X:&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/nicolebyer?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolebyer</a>Nicole's book, #VERYFAT #VERYBRAVE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524850746" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">indiebound.org/book/9781524850746</a>This is a&nbsp;<a href="https://headgum.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Headgum</a>&nbsp;podcast.

Stealing Condoms at the Olympics (w/ Adam Rippon)

Co-writers <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gregorcorp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dan Gregor</a> and <a href="https://x.com/thedougmand" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Doug Mand</a> (<a href="https://www.nakedgunmovie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Naked Gun</a>) have been writing partners for twenty years - which is basically a marriage at this point. They tell Nicole about the time they were "dumped" by Adam Pally, how they’ve kept a friendship and business alive without burning each other out, and the rabbi who completely ruined a wedding by trying to do bits. They also shared the best marriage advice they’ve ever gotten, and what it feels like to spiral when you don’t think you’re worthy of love. Plus, while on vacation, Nicole overhears a couple fighting in the next hotel room - and decides to slip a handwritten note under their door.Go see <a href="https://www.nakedgunmovie.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Naked Gun</a> in theaters!

Slipping a Note to the Couple Fighting in the Next Room (w/ Dan Gregor & Doug Mand)

For <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rozhernandez/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roz Hernandez</a>, dating as a sober, trans woman comedian is a trifecta of difficulty - and finding love hasn’t been easy. She tells Nicole about going to 4 different Etsy psychics to sketch her future husband, using Grindr to find dates willing to explore haunted places, and the hookup stories that came from visiting 45 gay bars across the country. She opens up about the surprising ways gay men have treated her, why she’s stopped dating straight men altogether, and the many times she’s been ghosted - in love and in life. Nicole shares why she loves her boyfriend so much, and the two dive into what might really be behind the male loneliness epidemic.Get tickets to Roz Hernandez's tour at <a href="http://RozHernandezTour.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">RozHernandezTour.com</a>Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:»&nbsp;<a href="https://www.Betterhelp.com/DATEME" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Betterhelp:</a> Visit <a href="http://Betterhelp.com/DATEME" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Betterhelp.com/DATEME</a> today to get 10% off your first month.» <a href="http://wayfair.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wayfair</a>: Every Style, Every Home.»&nbsp;<a href="http://mintmobile.com/DATEME" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mint Mobile</a>: This year, skip breaking a sweat AND breaking the bank.

Jessabelle also relives a London date with an Irish DJ who argued he should be allowed to say the N-word.

A lil update from Nicole: Best Friends is back!

Comedian <a href="https://www.instagram.com/internetdevon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Devon Walker</a> (SNL) joins Nicole to tell the story of how he met his girlfriend on a live blind date podcast. He figured it was just a bit - until the audience voted for them to win an Applebee’s gift card and that turned into their actual first date. 3 years later, they’re still together! He and Nicole also talk about the woman who went viral&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsIr7Rl8Ijg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eating 48 oysters on a first date</a>, why it’s a red flag if your partner suddenly starts doing open mics, and how it feels when people send you unsolicited sex tapes in the DMs. Devon shares the absolute nightmare of trying to break up with someone who flooded his phone with scroll-after-scroll of chaotic texts. Plus: He shares the&nbsp;SNL&nbsp;sketch he’s dying to get on air, and they do a deep dive into the food mascot universe - who’s comforting, who’s cursed, and why the Bubba Gump shrimp must be stopped.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>Check out Devon's podcast, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-favorite-lyrics-with-devon-walker/id1810042170" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Favorite Lyrics with Devon Walker</a>.Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:»&nbsp;<a href="http://squarespace.com/DATEME" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Squarespace</a>: Build the website of your dreams!

We Met on a Podcast (w/ Devon Walker)

Comedian and friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cluckcluckjoshsharp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Josh Sharp</a> (Dicks: The Musical) returns to the podcast! Nicole and Josh kick things off by reminiscing about the chaotic live show where Nicole interviewed a man in the audience she had slept with. From there, they get into Josh’s foolproof flirting strategy at the club, Annabelle the haunted doll’s cursed tour across America, attending a Big Dick contest, and Josh’s near-death experience in Puerto Vallarta that left him facedown in the ocean with no memory of his own name.They also discuss the realities and benefits of open relationships, how to quiet negative self-talk while dating, and the dangers of eating straight men’s ass.

Flirting, Open Relationships, and Almost Dying (w/ Josh Sharp)

Drag queen icon <a href="https://www.instagram.com/spiciestmeatball" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meatball</a> is back! She and Nicole get into it all - being in her top era, loving the single life, and having weekend boyfriends in different cities. But also... why dating is still so hard when you do drag. Meatball opens up about losing guys the second they find out she’s a queen, and how frustrating it is watching her roster shrink because of it. And of course, the wild date stories are endless - projectile vomiting in a car on a date, sucking 3 different dicks in one night (one the size of a beer can), a hookup who did stand-up after sex, and turning down a dude mid-date for turning on fart porn. It's a wild one.

Nobody Wants to Date a Drag Queen (w/ Meatball)

Happy 4th of July!(?) Comedian <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweetlouzinho" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lou Wilson</a> (Dimension 20, Jimmy Kimmel Live!) joins Nicole to reflect on the wild state of America. He shares his terrible time living in Boston, where white guys frequently asked him for the N-word pass. They talk about what it was like to sell out Madison Square Garden in just 10 minutes withDimension 20, being a “silly billy” on dates, and the moment Lou realized bits don’t always land on dates when you’re trying to build intimacy. They also bond over the guilty thrill of watching other couples on visibly bad dates, and the drama they've witnessed unfold one table over. Plus, Lou reminds Nicole that they once dated. Nicole completely forgot. He gives an honest review of what it was like to date her, and why there was never a second date. Y'all, it's a wild one.Check out Lou Wilson's podcast, <a href="https://worldsbeyondnumber.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Worlds Beyond Number</a>.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:»&nbsp;<a href="https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/3v6r90n6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CashApp</a>: Download Cash App Today:&nbsp;<a href="https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/3v6r90n6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/3v6r90n6</a>&nbsp;#CashAppPod *Referral Reward Disclaimer: As a Cash App partner, I may earn a commission when you sign up for a Cash App account.View all of our sponsors and discounts codes at&nbsp;<a href="https://wwydm.notion.site/sponsors?pvs=4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wwydm.notion.site/sponsors</a>.Follow:Tour Dates:&nbsp;<a href="http://linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastaken" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">linktr.ee/nicolebyerwastaken</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>TikTok:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@whywontyoudatemepod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@whywontyoudatemepod</a>&nbsp;Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolebyer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolebyer</a>X:&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/nicolebyer?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolebyer</a>Nicole's book, #VERYFAT #VERYBRAVE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524850746" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">indiebound.org/book/9781524850746</a>This is a&nbsp;<a href="https://headgum.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Headgum</a>&nbsp;podcast.

We Dated?! (w/ Lou Wilson)

Actress&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessmarlo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jessica Lowe</a>&nbsp;(The Righteous Gemstones, Minx,&nbsp;Wrecked)&nbsp;joins Nicole to share the romantic saga of falling in love on a Second City cruise ship. On the ship, she met a British bassist who became her cruise ship boyfriend - whom she later realized wasn’t as smart as she thought his accent sounded (he tried to dry his pants on a ceiling fan and designed a nightmare demon tattoo for himself).Jessica recalls dating a Dutch chef with a penis that was “too much!” and recounts what might be the most romantic first date ever told on the podcast. She reflects on the men who surprised her, disappointed her, and the slow work of building a relationship that actually lasted.Plus, Jessica and Nicole reminisce about the chaos of filming&nbsp;Curse Friends&nbsp;when everyone tested&nbsp;positive for COVID - and Nicole opens up about sobbing in a makeup chair over a man who simply wasn’t worth it.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcast</a>Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:»&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oneskin.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OneSkin</a>: OneSkin&nbsp;is&nbsp;redefining the aging process with their proprietary OS-01 peptide.
