Headgum & Nicole Byer

Love and dating can be messy—so let’s talk about it! On this multi-award-winning podcast, comedian Nicole Byer explores romantic highs, lows, and all the juicy stuff in between, alongside comedians, experts, and sometimes an ex or two. New episodes every Friday!

Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer

Drag queen icon BenDeLaCreme (Drag Race 6, All-Stars 3) joins Nicole to spill some major breaking news: they've been secretly separated from her partner of 8 years. They talk about the effort it takes to try to stay friends with an ex, the confusing reality of jumping back into the LA dating pool in your mid-40s, and why it's impossible to tell if a guy wants to date you or just wants exclusive Drag Race gossip. Plus, DeLa breaks down her brilliant move to self-eliminate on All-Stars 3, and Nicole reveals the unhinged manifestation trick she used to lock down the nice man in her life.

Finally Ready to Confess (w/ BenDeLaCreme)

Why Won't You Date Me is taking a quick break this week while Nicole is out of town filming, but we'd never leave you high and dry! Instead, Nicole is sharing one of her all-time favorite episodes of her other podcast, Best Friends. Best Friends Nicole and Sasheer are joined by two very special guests and hosts of the podcast Sloppy Seconds, Big Dipper and Meatball! Consider this a wild masterclass in relationships and how hard it is to maintain a bond with someone, featuring wild stories about naked meetings at gay resorts, eating ribs nude in bed, and bombing TV auditions in a speedo. Normal WWYDM programming resumes next week!

The Most Chaotic Friendship Ever (w/ Meatball and Big Dipper)

YouTuber Jarvis Johnson (Host of Sad Boyz) joins Nicole to discuss the dystopian reality of how AI has changed the dating landscape, from people now dating their AI and the trend of men using ChatGPT to automatically swipe and chat with women for them. Jarvis opens up about his regret about having a public relationship and why he now chooses to keep his life private after a very public internet breakup. They also discuss how neurodivergence impacts relationships, why undiagnosed ADHD can hold someone back, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), medication they are taking, and how Nicole is managing her PMDD.
