On this episode of First Date, Lauren Compton sits down with comedian Ric Diez for a brutally honest conversation that goes way off the rails. Ric explains why people hide the “bad parts” of themselves early in a relationship, how he flirts by just being honest, and then drops a bomb: he keeps finding himself with married women—and kinda likes it that way.
From there, the two dive into open relationships, toxic attraction, rejection, and the messy truths that come with dating today. It’s fun, flirty, and unfiltered—the perfect mix for a first date.
