Review of Best Before Date - I expected better

I expected better

☆

“Dear Al D, Alex Detkov, Sasha D Fans, I am the “older gay male” referenced in part 1 of episode 56. Firstly, for the record, I am not much older than our podcast host, but I guess calling me that fits better into his narrative. I would like to address his comments along with his creative reconstruction of the past. Firstly, I have known my husband for years. Long before Al D moved in. The insinuation that I just met a guy and moved in (not only being wildly incorrect but also digging in to harmful gay tropes) is appalling. Especially since any “conversations” Al D has claimed to have with were false. The conversations he claims to have had with me did not happen. And no, I have not been married 4 times. No clue where this came from. I guess, he came up with this as it better fits his self serving narrative. And a Crave update. That account was never mine, I was using a friends account and he cancelled it… nothing scandalous here… perhaps if he had a conversation with me he would have learned that. Also… the toaster… perhaps if Al had spoken to me, he would have found out I broke the toaster, (my toaster btw) putting it away for the umpteenth time due to the fact Al has trouble respecting my possessions and never put it away after using it. I like how he tried to paint me as petty, but in reality had he had a conversation with me I would have told him. Speaking of conversations, I find it funny how he left out how the real conversations went when talking to you, the listener. You see Al D doesn’t engage in civil conversation, he prefers to communicate via the comfort of his room behind a closed door via email. After my husband and I got married, I asked Al if he could move out as I wished for my husband to move in, as I had been living in the unit for 6 years and he had been there 10 months. Al responded by saying we needed to have a conversation, and then, he vanished and refused to talk to me for almost 5 weeks. Having listened to his pod casts, he talked quite openly about finding a new apartment, even in one podcast saying how he wanted to move out anyways. Well imagine my shock when he accused me of just dropping this info on him and stabbing him in the back, even when I had been 100% transparent, with the emails to back me up. I asked him numerous time to talk face to face, but he hid in his room clacking away on the key board telling me how everything was my fault, he tried to ban my husband from the appointment…hell he even tried to use my terminally ill grandma as a sticking point to instigate me. So there you are BBD fans. Your favourite podcaster revealed not only his ageist side, but also has proven he talks a big game about being a great communicator but when it comes down to it, he prefers to sit behind closed doors and attack people; even stooping as low as to use ones suffering from dealing with the pain of ill family members. I know Al fancies himself a comedian , however, this episode has left him looking more like a clown, and a sad one at that. This is something we should all learn: if you are going to claim one thing, just make sure you are not making contradictory statements on your podcast, at best it’s just sloppy, at worst, and more tragically… it’s boring.”
