WARNING: This episode is unhinged as we were extremely hungover and decided to rally.

Hungover honesty meets producer mode, and the contrast is the point. We open with tequila regret and bedhead confessions, then flip the switch into how we’re attempting to level up the show. It’s the unsexy backbone of a creative project, but it becomes the reason the rest of the chaos can be funny instead of fatal.

From there, the conversation veers into the dating trenches with equal parts comedy and caution. We walk through the “Tea” app, a searchable, anonymous space where women compare notes and flag patterns, and how it confirmed what our gut already knew about an actor with endless red flags and a cult-like Zoom class. Then the story gets personal: How a man made Jay break her limerence even though there were bright red flags waving directly in her face and how unchecked icks become dealbreakers.

We end with a rapid-fire icks list and a serious note on consent: unsolicited explicit pics aren’t flirty; they’re disrespectful. If you’re navigating modern dating, this one’s a field guide, use the tools, trust your feelings, and watch how people behave when it costs them something.
