Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fashion, Femininity & "Airing Out the Puss" (00:18 – 02:14)

Steph talks about rarely wearing dresses, preferring to look "manly" and sometimes startling men.
The practical joys of wearing dresses—no pants and comfort—leads to hilarious banter about underwear and hygiene.
Memorable moment:

Steph shocks Lauren with the candid admission she tried her sister's breast milk.
Playful speculation about if their partners would ever taste breast milk.
Notable exchange:

The story: Steph meets her now-partner at the Laugh Factory in LA, introduced as Shooter McGavin’s nephew (actor Christopher McDonald).
Steph pulls out all the stops during a lackluster comedy set, gets approached by her now-boyfriend after. Their meet-cute is classic, awkward, and filled with comic references.
Their first "date" ultimately involves hours-long FaceTimes and finally a wild night in a rental car—where Steph leaves a lasting (literal) mark.
Highlighted quote:
- Steph: "We went in the back of his rental car, and I squirted and ruined...He had to pay to get it cleaned. I soiled the back. Really nice first date." (11:09)

Lauren relates with her own challenges balancing home and career.

6. Dating Life & First Date Horror Stories (21:29 – 29:44)

Steph rifles through a "fuck list" of disastrous and bizarre first dates, each more absurd than the last:

Splitting $16 Bill Guy: Brags about owning two homes, then splits a measly $16 tab.
- Steph: "If you're gonna brag about money, pay $16." (22:46)
Velcro Sandals Guy: Turns up at night in brown velcro sandals; instant dealbreaker.
Flip Flops Guy (Lauren's story): Walks her around a pool in flip flops, asks for a kiss—awkward!
Platform Shoes Guy: Makes out on NYE, only to discover later he’s half her size and wears enormous platform Doc Martens.
Costume Hookup: Steph details how men seem more interested when she's dressed up as a man for Halloween (including a Coach Steve from Big Mouth costume and Clifford from Martin Short's movie).
Hilarious runner: Men “asking” for kisses/hugs gets universally skewered.
- Steph: "If you have to ask for a kiss, you’re not getting a kiss. May I have a kiss? No." (25:13)

7. Teeth Talk & Dating Red Flags (29:44 – 34:56)

Steph tells a Seinfeld-esque story about a man whose teeth, seen in daylight, resemble "brown old coffins,” with each tooth uniquely stained.
Discussion of Amish dental habits, revealed by Lauren, leads to wild speculation about rural dental hygiene, veneers, and young Amish workers.

8. Romantic Gestures & Relationship Roles (41:45 – 47:32)

Lauren asks about the most romantic thing Steph’s boyfriend has done; little details like post-it notes, wine, and snacks in a hotel make the list.
