In this episode of The Dirty Dish, Diana Nguyen dives deep into the chaos and comedy of modern romance — starting with her own five-hour Sunday night date that went… well, a little too long.

Was it chemistry? Curiosity? Or just sheer exhaustion? Diana unpacks the wild logistics of dating in the 2020s: How long should a first date actually last? Is it a zero date if you don’t count it? Do you give your number, or just your Instagram? And how long do you message before finally meeting IRL?

It’s part romantic debrief, part sociological study, and fully Diana — funny, honest, and a little too relatable. Whether you’ve been ghosted, benched, or trapped in a marathon date of your own, Durational Dating will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even rethink your own “rules” for love.

In this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt episode, Diana Nguyen dishes the dirty truth behind one of her most infamous stand-up jokes — the one about shit stains. What started as a running gag on stage turns into a real-life confession, as Diana shares what actually happened afterwards.

From “poo tantrums” to stories she’s collected from friends and fans, Diana explores why we’re all secretly fascinated by the messiest parts of being human. Think of it as Doctor Pimple Popper, but for the soul (and, well… the other end).

Equal parts funny, raw, and weirdly relatable, this episode is all about embracing our most embarrassing truths — and laughing while we do it.

Welcome to the first serving of The Dirty Dish (The DD) — where life gets messy, funny, and oh-so-human. In this premiere episode, host Diana Nguyen dishes about The Baby Bump — not the one you think. It’s about expectations, pressure, and that weird bump life gives you when you’re supposed to “have it all together.”

From awkward auntie comments to cultural timelines of marriage and motherhood, Diana unpacks what it means to carry other people’s expectations — and how to finally drop them.

With her signature humour and heart, she invites listeners to laugh, cringe, and maybe recognise a little of their own “bump” stories along the way. Because in The Dirty Dish, it’s not about cleaning up the mess — it’s about celebrating it.
