SPONSORS: - Head to https://Chime.com/DATE. - Sign up for your $1 per month trial and start selling today at https://shopify.com/date 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.
