Trigger warnings: toxic dating experiences, emotional discomfort, and secondhand embarrassment.

Episode 22 of Traumatically Speaking, First Dates From Hell Part 1, brings some much needed chaotic energy in honor of Pride Month as Sloan and Lex share some of the worst dates they have ever been on.

Sloan takes listeners through a coffee date that quickly turned into a verbal takedown, where she was berated the entire time by a woman who clearly misunderstood the assignment. Lex follows with her own nightmare scenario featuring a man who can only be described as the Temu version of Justin Bieber, proving that sometimes the red flags are immediate and relentless.

With their usual mix of humor and honesty, Sloan and Lex unpack the awkward, uncomfortable, and downright unhinged moments that make dating feel like a social experiment gone wrong. It is chaotic, painfully relatable, and a reminder that sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh and never go back.
