Comedian Lucas Zelnick sits down with Lauren Compton for a first date that’s equal parts hilarious and uncomfortably honest. From saying “I love you” too soon and touring with his girlfriend, to growing up Jewish and having guilty orgasms on mushrooms — nothing is off the table.

Lucas opens up about relationships, faith, body count logic, and how to actually keep things happy when love gets real. Lauren brings the charm (and chaos), and somehow they end up talking about poop, God, and emotional maturity in the same breath.

💘 Subscribe for new First Dates every week with Lauren Compton — where comedians get flirty, funny, and way too real.
