I Need a Date for the Wedding
Gibbs & Shah
WANTED: Discreet, dysfunctional pair of millennials seek open-minded audience for casual encounters and shenanigans. Gibbs is an engaged academic with a tenuous grip on her sanity. Her hobbies include wedding planning, whittling, weightlifting, and ranting. Shah is an unattached artist with a compromised moral compass. His hobbies include anything toxic you can think of. We are open to anyone over the age of 18 who won’t mind sharing us with their friends (and family, if that’s what you’re into). Flexibility is a plus (physically or ethically). Must be comfortable with: explicit language, hysteria, chest hair, arts and crafts, primates, cosplay and cross dressing. Sound like your type of party? Then don't be shy... we're only creepy sometimes.

S2E10 | INTP, INTJ, IDGAF
I Need a Date for the Wedding
08/02/24 • 36 min
In this episode, the lads kick things off with one of Gibbs' classic icebreakers and compare themselves with various animals. Next, they dive into the world of personality types, focusing on the Myers-Briggs test. Similar to their episode about astrology, they have A LOT of overlap - which is something that Gibbs finds unnerving and Shah finds hilarious.
Together, they explore how their personality types show up in their daily lives, from their quirks to how they handle challenges to how their Myers-Briggs types approach friendships and romantic relationships.
Finally, they explore the Enneagram system and its nine distinct types, bringing another layer to understanding their personality types - this time with a focus on how they approach the workplace.
Until next time, go fuck off!
S2E9 | Astrology and AO3
I Need a Date for the Wedding
02/28/24 • 38 min
Shah would like to remind you that if anyone writes smutty fanfiction about him and Gibbs, he’ll read it on air. Gibbs would like to remind you that she’ll disembowel anyone who does that.
Join Gibbs and Shah as they celebrate besting their first season's episode count with a comic, cosmic discussion about their astrological signs. Gibbs, a proud Aries, questions her sign’s proclaimed bravery. Shah, a skeptical Aquarius, casts doubt on his sign’s proclivity to advocate for underdogs.
Enjoy the kind of roasting you can only get from friends as close and idiotic as these two as they scrutinize each other’s charts and explore their compatibility with each other and Gibbs’ fiancé. Grab your headphones and prepare for some celestial shade! (do people still say “throwing shade?”)
S2E8 | F**k Flintstones Vitamins
I Need a Date for the Wedding
01/06/24 • 30 min
New year, same them.
So Gibbs decided to bring some of her real-life awkward icebreakers to the podcast. Hope you like that bit because she has A LOT more where it came from. In this episode, Shah confronts Gibbs about her smoking habit, after which Gibbs confronts Shah about his inability to walk across a room without tripping over his feet. How either of them lived this long is anyone's guess, but since they're here, they decide to have a talk about the physical wellness struggles that came with their unexpected longevity.
Shah reveals that he's still bitter about being cut from his high school's basketball team. Gibbs reveals why she removed her fiancé as a beneficiary of her life insurance policy.
From a somewhat pretentious talk about working out, to an unexpectedly disgusting talk about vitamins, to a vaguely disturbing talk about death, the lads finally wrap up this three-episode arc about the body.
S2E7 | Spit on Me, It's Fine
I Need a Date for the Wedding
10/16/23 • 30 min
Gibbs drinks breast milk. I just want that to be your takeaway from this.
Welcome back for part two of a three-episode arc on hygiene! This time, your favorite degenerates discuss all the fun intersections of hygiene and sexuality. If you're still listening to this podcast after the LAST episode, then you definitely deserve the insanity that comes out of their mouths in THIS one.
Shah took it upon himself to lead the discussion this time, so don't expect any peer reviewed sources to be cited here. Anywho, this casually uncomfortable conversation starts off with a talk about saliva, then meanders its way to such topics as vomit, lactating, body odor, male AND female ejaculation, period sex, annnnnd all the other fun stuff you were just dying to hear about.
Also, did you know men can get yeast infections?
S2E6 | How Often Do You Shower?
I Need a Date for the Wedding
10/02/23 • 31 min
Ever wondered what the link between earwax and body odor is? Yeah, neither did I.
The lads are back with an episode about hygiene! This one was most definitely a Gibbs suggestion and Shah most definitely regrets agreeing to it. Anywho, join them as they march boldly into the world of body maintenance and explore everything from haircare to licking eyeballs. Spoiler alert: Shah thinks Gibbs is gross and Gibbs thinks Shah is a prude. Who is right in this situation? You decide!
Between all the bizarre talk about hand washing, skincare, and deodorant, they actually manage to squeeze in a few interesting facts about the body that make this episode... somewhat redeemable. Somewhat.
S2E5 | So, We're Banned from Tinder
I Need a Date for the Wedding
07/30/23 • 27 min
I feel like no one is surprised that these two are banned from Tinder. Anywho, in this episode Shah reveals how he finally got closure with the ex-girlfriend who inspired this entire show... and it's somehow more socially awkward than you are anticipating. Gibbs then tells the story about the times her fiancé tried to breakup with her, and the petty way she reminds him of it to this day.
As they go further down the rabbit hole, the lads discuss breakups and divorce rates and such. Gibbs talks about the unique cast of characters from her dating history - including a heroin addict, a male model, and a pedophile. In case you were wondering what her type is.
Oh, and bonus points if you can guess which TV show Gibbs played a stripper on.
S2E4 | That Time We Almost Killed Spider-Man
I Need a Date for the Wedding
07/02/23 • 29 min
Two guesses as to which one of these idiots almost shot a Spider-Man cosplayer. Anywho, episode four starts off with some talk about Gibbs' work party antics and her hidden athletic prowess (that was an exaggeration). From there, the lads discuss a rather nerve-wracking cinema trip and their unconventional self-defense strategies.
Things take a serious turn as they discuss the their two year hiatus... by discuss I mean make glancing mention of it before deflecting and moving onto another topic: the trials and tribulations of sharing living spaces with total strangers. Dishonest landlords, living with in-laws, room hunting on Craigslist... buckle up and enjoy the shenanigans!
S2E3 | We Are NOT White Supremacists
I Need a Date for the Wedding
05/11/23 • 26 min
The lads start the episode discussing Shah’s lack of organizational skills and Gibb’s anger issues. By discussing I mean Gibbs getting angry ABOUT Shah’s lack of organizational skills. After that, they spend some time on a fairly innocent topic: celebrity crushes. What can go wrong, right? Well, after a while they notice that they both lean towards a certain “type” ... which leads to the real topic of the episode: racial preferences. Racial slurs in bed, raceplay, and all that fun stuff. Yeah. Thankfully, this is this is their shortest episode ever. It’s also probably gonna be their last episode ever.
S2E2 | Just Stick It In, I Guess
I Need a Date for the Wedding
05/10/23 • 27 min
Gibbs and her fiancé had the “how many people have you slept with” talk. Hilarity ensued. This somehow leads to Shah telling a story about masturbating in closets. The topic of virginity leads to a conversation about ageplay and other “taboo” kinks. This somehow leads to Shah telling a story about ageplay that made me regret taking this job. Consent play, foot fetishes... this is a weird one.
S2E1 | Don't F**king Touch Me
I Need a Date for the Wedding
05/09/23 • 30 min
Gibbs is still supposedly planning her wedding (lol) and Shah is still supposedly single (LOL), so they’re finally back for season two! If you thought they would explain their 2.5-year hiatus, then you are gravely mistaken. Instead, they spend the episode discussing their love languages!
Turns out they’re both touch averse and emotionally damaged. Who would have guessed.
