Comedian Joe DeRosa joins Lauren Compton for a chaotic and painfully honest episode of First Date. Joe talks about officially moving to Austin full-time, life after heartbreak, surviving dating apps with absolutely zero matches, and figuring out who he actually is now.

They get into bad flirting, people using people, why paddle boarding is terrible, the sacred art of the bar crawl, and the difference between trying to impress someone versus actually vibing with them.

Joe’s new podcast Vile & Horrendous is out now on YouTube through YMH Studios and everywhere podcasts are available.

Michael Lenoci joins First Date and things spiral almost immediately. Lauren and Mike talk love bombing, sliding into DMs, dating fans, revenge after divorce, having chemistry in arguments, and why Mike’s entire dating process sounds both calculated and reckless at the same time.

From hating his wife when they first met to getting pregnant before marriage, Justin breaks down one of the most chaotic love stories we’ve had on the show. They get into growing up with siblings, struggling to get pregnant, and somehow end up reviewing Waffle House like it’s fine dining.

This episode has everything:
* Bad first impressions that turn into marriage
* The WORST relationship stories imaginable
* Pregnancy struggles & relationship pressure
* Waffle House takes you didn’t ask for
* Questionable life decisions that somehow worked out

On this episode of First Date, Lauren Compton sits down with Ari Shaffir for what might be the least helpful dating advice you’ll ever hear.
They get into first date red flags, weird turn-offs, and why Ari operates like someone who’s never worried about a second date. From being chronically late to oversharing immediately, he pretty much lays out a blueprint for what not to do—while somehow making it work anyway.

They also bounce through topics like only children vs. siblings, traveling the world solo, late-night energy shifts, and the kind of stories that start normal and end… not normal.

Lauren tries to keep things on track. Ari does not help.

On First Date, Lauren Compton sits down with comedian Josh Wolf for a fast, chaotic dive into dating and relationships.

They hit red flags, real friendships, and leaving the LA bubble—before getting into absolute madness: a disastrous first date (yes… poopy pants), getting “Me Too’d” in a way only Josh could make funny, and somehow ending up married through his manager.

Plus: a post-car-crash prostate exam, the CDC calling him, gambling, moving to Europe, and parenting debates.
