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.

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.

David Cross joins First Date with Lauren Compton and proves that even smart people can absolutely bungle a love story.
He talks about grinding new material in New York, dating in entertainment, and how he somehow almost missed his wife… twice. From an awkward first attempt to meet her, to randomly running into her again, to carrying an engagement ring for over a year like a psycho before finally proposing.
They get into their three-day wedding at a kids camp, raising a baby, skipping the night nurse, and the stories behind David’s tattoos.
It’s bad timing, dumb luck, and a relationship that worked out anyway.

They get into the reality of conflict in relationships, the struggle of apologizing, and how honest communication can accidentally turn into something deeply healing.
Plus—fast food love, a proposal story, and what it’s really like being married to someone you don’t always like.
