## Resource

On an all-new Speed Dates episode, it’s family time as host Joel Kim Booster sits down with his good friend, actor/comedian Brendan Scannell (Heathers, Bonding, newsletter The Abyss) to discuss maintaining a sense of self in your relationship, making friends later in life, being sober (or Bushwick sober as the case may be), knowing somebody in The Candy Hall Of Fame, and the real work of checking in with your partner. Plus, Brendan brings gifts! And Joel has some advice for single people, which is honestly not that different from his advice for anyone looking to get into entertainment.
